"I have a very important matter to confess to you both."

Ye Yao felt it was time to flesh out her persona as a good, obedient daughter.

Xiao Jing sat seriously to the side, intending to cooperate fully with Ye Yao.

What bad intentions could her well-behaved daughter possibly have?

She just wanted to have a pleasant interaction with her cyborg father.

Xiao Jing always felt that Lou Wei was not a qualified father.

If he had shown even a bit of a fatherly manner, Ye Yao wouldn't have targeted him so much.

Take Xiao Jing herself, for example.

Even though Ye Yao knew the truth about everything, she didn't feel their familial bond was fake, nor would she abandon this relationship.

Only Lou Wei—he was a cyborg.

He deserved to take all that stress.

Xiao Jing gave Ye Yao a gentle smile.

"What does Xiao Yao want to say? We'll listen carefully. Right, Lou Wei?"

"Right."

Lou Wei put down his newspaper and cast a flat gaze toward them.

【Lou Wei is guessing your thoughts. He believes you are going to confess about awakening your Superpower early without informing your parents. He had already anticipated this scene since seeing you interact with Fu Qi at the Countermeasure Bureau.】

He actually guessed correctly.

This was exactly what Ye Yao wanted to talk about.

The more well-behaved and harmless she appeared, the more the Countermeasure Bureau would let down its guard.

Only in this way would they not suspect that Ye Tong and Ye Yao were the same person.

It was enough for only the turned family members like Xiao Jing to know.

"If I said I've been hiding something very important, would you be angry?"

"Of course not."

Xiao Jing spoke first, then shot a glare at Lou Wei.

Even knowing Ye Yao had been hiding things, she felt it wasn't as egregious as Lou Wei's behavior.

After watching that livestream, Xiao Jing realized how deep a shadow Lou Wei had cast over Ye Yao.

It was likely the kind that would never be forgotten.

Lou Wei also shook his head.

"I won't be angry either."

"That's good."

Ye Yao blinked her eyes.

"You should already know what Superpowers are, right?"

"Of course. The country has been making huge moves lately; those who don't know are in the minority."

"Actually, I awakened my Superpower the very night I was adopted by you, but I just never told you.

Even though you gave me a home, I hid such an important thing from you. I'm really sorry..."

Ye Yao looked like a child who had done something wrong, appearing quite pitiable.

"It's a small matter, we won't be angry. Right, Lou Wei?"

"Right."

"Also, I've discovered that I have an older sister, but it's not convenient for her to come out and meet yet.

If she wanted to join this family, would you accept her?"

Ye Yao stared at the two with a cautious gaze, mainly watching Lou Wei's reaction.

Xiao Jing quickly responded, "Since she's Xiao Yao's sister, of course we can accept her. Right, Lou Wei?"

"...Right."

Lou Wei's feelings were a bit complicated.

What use was his acceptance?

In the end, it still depended on Ye Tong's thoughts.

Ye Yao blinked.

The old geezer was actually quite self-aware.

"That's great. I'm relieved that you aren't angry."

Ye Yao looked as if she had breathed a sigh of relief, showing a relaxed smile again.

Xiao Jing stood up, patted her small head, and gently pinched her cheek.

"You must be tired from the flight back. Don't think about all those messy things. Just sit and rest while I prepare dinner for you all."

She was indeed a bit hungry.

Ye Yao could only sit on the sofa, looking at Lou Wei, who had picked up his newspaper again.

"Father, I haven't played games with you for a month. Can you play with me for a while?"

"What do you want to play?"

"Fighting games!"

As soon as those two words came out, images from a week ago flashed through Lou Wei's mind.

Back then, Ye Tong, in the form of Ye Yao, had erupted with massive Spiritual Power to crush Fu Qi while playing a game.

The game they played then was also a fighting game.

【Lou Wei is considering a possibility. He is wondering if you will suddenly erupt with powerful Spiritual Power while playing the game, replicating the scene from a week ago.

However, thinking that it was Ye Tong then and you are Ye Yao now, and that you couldn't possibly switch places right under his nose, he feels this won't happen.

Furthermore, Lou Wei does not believe Ye Tong would call him 'Father'.】

Ye Yao's expression didn't change at all.

Actually, she really did want to do that.

But Lou Wei seemed to always think the transition between Ye Yao and Ye Tong was a physical swap of locations.

Rather than something like a soul swap.

This line of thinking wasn't bad.

While a soul swap would be fun, it would ultimately make the other party more vigilant.

She needed that sense of relaxation from him confirming the person before him was Ye Yao, rather than the tension of being constantly on guard for Ye Tong's arrival.

The price of Ye Yao changing her mind was inevitably getting thrashed in the game by the detestable Lou Wei.

"I don't want to play anymore!"

Ye Yao huffed and threw the controller aside.

"I practiced my skills for so long in the capital, so why can I ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ still not beat you?"

Lou Wei hesitated to speak.

He forgot to go easy on her.

Mainly because the scene of Ye Tong playing against Fu Qi a week ago was quite memorable.

Ye Tong had said not to hold back, so Lou Wei had unconsciously applied that here, even preparing himself for Ye Yao to erupt with Spiritual Power.

As it turned out, Ye Yao really wasn't Ye Tong; her being a noob was reassuringly certain.

However, he couldn't stay silent for too long.

Lou Wei had to say something in response to Ye Yao.

"You've improved."

【Lou Wei feels that your gaming level is very reassuring to him.】

That's because I haven't powered up yet!

Ye Yao's face began to flush red at a visible rate.

Old geezer, you're really asking for some stress!

"My sister is a pro gamer! Once she finishes dealing with her problems, I'll have her win it back for me!"

"Okay."

Ye Yao felt like her punch had landed on cotton.

It seemed Lou Wei's stress resistance had been trained to become even stronger lately.

Simple words would likely struggle to cause any fluctuations in his emotions.

After all, when one eats stress for breakfast, it's hard to get full.

Ye Yao could only force herself to calm down, planning to get her revenge later; she'd have plenty of opportunities anyway.

"Speaking of which, you should have awakened a Superpower too, right? What's the effect?"

Ye Yao asked with feigned curiosity.

Lou Wei didn't hide it either, symbolically raising a hand. The girl's long silver hair soon began to sway with a light breeze.

"Wind."

He wasn't lying, yet he hid his actual stats.

One had to admit Lou Wei really had some tricks up his sleeve.

His Superpower was just a simple, unadorned manipulation of wind and clouds, yet he possessed such ridiculous stats that he was crowned the modern strongest.

It felt like a child who didn't know any techniques but was just incredibly strong.

"So it's wind. Father, your wind is so weak, it feels like it can only serve as an electric fan. It won't even save much on electricity."

Ye Yao grumbled.

"Ah, I suddenly remembered something. I heard online that the modern strongest Ability User also seems to be a master of 'wind'.

To think Father's Superpower and the modern strongest's power are both related to 'wind'. Could it be that Father has the potential to be the modern strongest?"

Lou Wei: "..."

He admitted he had shown his hand a bit too early.

He shouldn't have displayed the power of 'wind'.

How was he supposed to react?
