As Leticia looked at Sang Zitong, this gray-haired woman was also looking at Leticia.
Unlike her young appearance, Sang Zitong's real age could be considered at the grandmother level, but thanks to the life-prolonging effects inherent to Espers and her good maintenance over the years, she looked very young.
If she walked with Melanie, everyone would basically think they were the same age, and that their age difference wasn't too big, but in reality, the age gap between the two was quite large.
Sang Zitong's age was more than three times that of Melanie.
"I've also heard Little York mention you." This grandmother-level figure smiled and said to Leticia.
Although she had seen her photo, the feeling the real person gave was quite different from the photo.
Today, Leticia was wearing a black long dress, with a large dark red scarf wrapped around her neck. The exposed part of her lower legs under the skirt was covered in slightly transparent black silk stockings, giving off a very harmless feeling.
Just like a cute little animal, no one would think that a little rabbit would cause them any harm, and Leticia was just such a little rabbit now.
"However, is Little Qian not feeling well?" Sang Zitong asked. She remembered that Quinn Sukina's health shouldn't have been a problem.
Why was she sitting in a wheelchair being pushed over by Melanie?
"I got a little hurt a few days ago. Although I've recovered a lot, she insisted on me sitting in this thing to come here." Leticia rolled her eyes at Melanie, indicating that this wasn't her fault.
"But you haven't fully recovered yet," Melanie retorted.
"Alright, alright, don't argue here." Sang Zitong clapped her hands gently, interrupting the intimate interaction that the two girls were about to have.
"Hmph." Leticia snorted, but she gave Sang Zitong face and didn't continue to bicker with Melanie.
This scene made the beautiful young girl on the other side chuckle, "What cute girls."
After laughing for a few moments, she stopped laughing, walked up to Leticia, and introduced herself: "My name is Zi Youqin, and my code name in the Hero Association used to be 'the Songstress'."
Is this the Songstress? Leticia looked at the Songstress in front of her curiously. This young girl's appearance was definitely top-tier, and her voice was indeed very pleasant.
If she sang with this voice, even the worst song would become a heavenly sound, right?
"I am Quinn Sukina, this girl's friend, bribed here by her." Leticia took off the white gauze glove on her right hand and took the initiative to reach out to the Songstress.
Looking at the small hand that Leticia reached out, which was like a work of art, the Songstress was slightly stunned, and then she also reached out to shake Leticia's hand.
It was soft and boneless, slightly cool, and the feeling could only be described as exquisite. The Songstress subconsciously squeezed Leticia's hand.
"Eh?" Leticia, who discovered her hand was being squeezed, blinked her eyes in confusion, "Um, Miss Songstress?"
"Ah, sorry, I lost my composure." The Songstress quickly let go of Leticia's hand. She suddenly understood why that white-haired girl looked at this black-haired girl with such complicated eyes.
This black-haired girl was completely worthy of the term "a stunner," and after spending a long time with her, even the straightest girl could be turned gay.
"Is Senior Songstress also here to watch the training?" Although she was a bit unhappy with the Songstress's actions just now, Melanie still did the surface work well and didn't show her unhappiness on her face.
"Yes, I heard that the juniors discovered a more efficient way to deal with the demons, and I happened to have some time, so I thought I'd come and take a look." The Songstress nodded.
Although she had retired and was no longer under the jurisdiction of the Association, the connection between her and the Association would not be broken so easily.
Not to mention anything else, her current career as a singer was something the Hero Association arranged for her.
In her spare time, the Songstress would also keep an eye on various news from the Hero Association; if there was anything the Association needed her help with, as long as she was capable, she would do her best to assist.

For things like providing guidance to juniors today, she accepted without even thinking about it.
Deep down, she was still the Songstress who fought for humanity on the battlefield.
"A new method to deal with the Demon Race?" Leticia also became curious; this was something worth paying attention to.
"As for the specifics, let's wait until today's protagonists arrive." The Songstress didn't reveal too much. She didn't know Melanie's true identity, so her trust in these two girls wasn't exactly solid.
The existing trust was entirely built on her trust in the senior, Sang Zitong. Because these two people were invited by Sang Zitong, the Songstress wouldn't doubt them, and that was all.
And Sang Zitong didn't really trust Leticia either, but out of trust for Melanie, she didn't say anything.
Whatever York Rose wanted to do, she could just let her do it.
The children were all grown up now; it was time to let them make their own decisions and determine their future paths.
Although she was a bit surprised by York Rose's orientation, Sang Zitong didn't feel all that surprised that Leticia could win over Melanie.
Who told Leticia to be so cute and so lovable?
With a girl like that living downstairs, Sang Zitong felt that if she were in Melanie's shoes, she would also fall for this girl.
As for the relationship problems of the juniors, it was better for the older generation like them to interfere less.
"Oh, they're here."
After waiting for about ten minutes, today's protagonists finally made their official entrance.
Those were three A-rank heroes, considered to be quite powerful figures within the Hero Association. This team had originally been stationed at the border between the Human Race and the Demon Race, and they had rich experience in fighting against the Demon Race.
Although the full-scale war had ended, border frictions had never really decreased. Today I wipe out one of your patrol squads, tomorrow you wipe out one of my scouts; such things were common occurrences.
Especially after the Demon Race lost Leticia, their backbone, those restless high nobles always wanted to stir up trouble to prove their own capabilities.
But they were also afraid of making things too big and attracting that Miss Sword Saint, so the things they stirred up were quite half-baked.
Annoying, it was truly annoying, but the actual damage to humans really wasn't much.
Compared to the big incidents that the Orcs basically caused once a year, the Demon Race's side was undoubtedly at the level of small skirmishes.
This provided these heroes with the possibility of familiarizing themselves with the Demon Race's patterns and countering them, and today was the time for them to showcase their results.
However, their results weren't all that satisfactory.
"How should I put it, that group of people looks quite intimidating, but when it comes to actual operation, I feel there's no threat at all."
"Then why were you acting so excited just a moment ago, saying that the future of humanity depends on you gentlemen?" Melanie blinked. Although she also saw that the combat experience summarized by these heroes was a bit one-sided, she at least said it to their faces, whereas Leticia, that devious person, was actually playing the petty trick of saying one thing to their faces and another behind their backs.
