Chapter 67 00067
67 Chapter - Is There A Battle Of Wits?
“Is anyone there?”
Cheng Muxue’s voice echoed within the mind space.
Ye Yao didn’t even dare to breathe.
She was terrified of being caught red-handed.
If she were discovered eavesdropping, how would she ever be able to lurk in the shadows again?
“I’ve already found you. I can give you a chance to come out and admit your mistake, otherwise, if I have to come find you myself, the outcome won’t be so good.”
Ye Yao remained silent.
Trying to trick her?
If her aunt knew her true identity, her aunt wouldn’t be so calm.
It was probably because the useless system hadn’t activated incognito mode, which allowed her aunt to detect a slight anomaly.
Ye Yao made a decision.
From now on, she would periodically curse the system for being trash.
It really failed her at a critical moment.
Cheng Muxue: “...”
After a long while, she still received no response.
She couldn’t sense any other source of spiritual power besides her own.
Nor could she establish a connection with it.
The other party was like a ghost floating above the mind space.
Believe it, and it’s there; don’t believe it, and it’s not.
That’s how Cheng Muxue felt.
“Forget it. I’ll be leaving the city tonight. I’ll see if it’s still like this when I get back…”
Cheng Muxue murmured.
She seemed to confirm that there was no one else in the mind space.
Once she returned to her original city, she could test whether it was a case of “unfamiliarity with the local environment.”
The mind network completely shut down.
Ye Yao simultaneously opened her eyes in reality.
Her eyes were full of doubt.
Still lying? Still lying?
Ye Yao was speechless.
Why was there still a battle of wits segment?
When the time comes, if she uses the system to read her aunt’s mind, won’t she be exposed?
“Sister is so punctual, only sleeping for ten minutes.”
Luo Jianhua’s admiring voice rang in her ear.
There was a hint of coaxing a child in her tone.
Ye Yao felt like it was completely topsy-turvy.
However, being coaxed by a cute girl felt very nice.
No wonder they say men are boys until they die.
In front of those they are close to, they shed all maturity.
Ye Yao’s mood brightened.
“Of course~ Ten minutes means ten minutes, no sleeping in!”
“Mm, Sister is amazing. Now, get out of bed and let me help you comb your hair, otherwise breakfast will get cold.”
After some fussing.
Ye Yao arrived in the living room.
The first thing she saw was Lou Wei sitting on the sofa, reading a newspaper.
“Good morning, have Uncle and Aunt gone back?”
“Mm, morning. They’re going back the day after tomorrow.”
Ye Yao suppressed a smile.
The battle of wits with her aunt officially concluded with the strict father’s insider information.
It had to be said that Lou Wei really answered every question.
Perhaps the person asking the questions was special.
After washing up, Ye Yao returned to the dining table, eating breakfast and thinking.
Wait.
Leaving the day after tomorrow?
Isn’t that when Mu Luo and the others are coming to meet her?
If they say they’re leaving the day after tomorrow, they’ll definitely stay one night and leave during the day.
How could such a coincidence happen!
Ye Yao didn’t even have a way to transmit information to them.
Once Mu Luo came over, it would be walking right into a trap.
If they repeated the old trick and brought Jiang Huashen, it would be killing two birds with one stone.
If they played it safe and brought Gu Wenxin and Xia Lian, two powerhouses, it would essentially be a complete sweep.
Don’t send her little darling Wu Mi to her death!
Thinking of this, Ye Yao even lost her appetite for breakfast.
She had to quickly think of a way to prevent her friends on the other side from being jointly killed by the strict father, uncle, and aunt.
This situation, oh.
This situation was like a flood washing away the Dragon King’s temple.
Ye Yao returned to her room, still feeling a bit restless.
Her spiritual power had just increased from 43 to 48, and she still had 25 unallocated attribute points.
She couldn’t possibly allocate them all at once.
If she allocated them all, after Fission, she would just barely exceed the S-rank threshold.
She still wouldn’t be able to defeat three large transports.
She couldn’t wait until Mu Luo and the others were in crisis before activating “Family Hero” mode for an emergency.
The spiritual power that surged in that mode wasn’t sustainable.
She might even fail to hide it from others.
Then how could she enjoy her slacking-off time with the two lolis?
If she exposed herself, the taste of slacking off might change.
Ye Yao had only been thinking for a moment.
The adorable Mo Qiuli came knocking.
Seeing this black-haired, glasses-wearing loli.
A good idea suddenly popped into Ye Yao’s mind.
“Mo Qiuli, Xiao Luo and I will stay over at your house the day after tomorrow.”
“Eh?”
Mo Qiuli’s eyes revealed immense surprise.
It was very much like a “Is it true, Godfather?” feeling.
Didn’t Ye Yao’s words indicate her willingness to continue participating in Magical Girl activities?
Mo Qiuli had never imagined happiness would come so suddenly.
“Mm, mm! I welcome you very much!”
Mo Qiuli was so happy that she even forgot she was speaking incoherently.
“I’ll go back and prepare tonight.”
After saying that, she became a little anxious.
“But… will Uncle and Aunt agree?”
Many parents wouldn’t allow their children to stay out overnight.
Especially since Ye Yao looked so young.
How could they be at ease?
At this moment, Luo Jianhua stepped forward and smiled, “Don’t worry, they will agree. Just leave it to me.”
“Then I’ll leave it to you, Xiao Luo.”
Ye Yao gave Luo Jianhua a thumbs-up.
The understanding between them no longer required verbal communication.
Mo Qiuli finally felt at ease.
Her good mood today would definitely last longer than yesterday’s.
Even when she returned home and huddled in the corner of her room, she would unconsciously grin foolishly.
This was the first time her friends had come to her house as guests.
And two of them at once.
This sudden feeling of happiness was truly intoxicating!
“We won’t watch Magical Girl anime today. I’ll teach you how to play games.”
Ye Yao handed a controller to Mo Qiuli.
She herself held the other controller.
Mo Qiuli had no objections, only nodding repeatedly.
“Mm, I’ll listen to Ye Yao.”
After all, the Magical Girl activities were secure.
What was Magical Girl anime?
It was optional.
As long as Ye Yao was happy enough.
At this moment, Luo Jianhua stood up and said to the two, “You two play first. I’ll be gone for a bit, but I’ll be back soon.”
“OKK, Mo Qiuli and I will wait for you in the room.”
Ye Yao opened a fighting game and introduced the gameplay to Mo Qiuli.
“This button is light punch, this button is heavy punch, this is to shoot a projectile… Alright, you already know how to play. Come, let’s have an intense and exciting match!”
Ye Yao directly chose a character with overpowered stats.
“Oh, oh! Okay.”
Mo Qiuli hadn’t yet realized what she was about to face.
Luo Jianhua watched with a smile for a while, then walked to the door and glanced back again.
The two seemed to be having a lot of fun.
Unfortunately, she had important things to do right now.
A rough voice soon came from the computer.
“MUSCLES!!! Muscles are shining with glory! Full power! Full throttle!”
Accompanied by Mo Qiuli’s cute cry of dismay.
“Waaah! I’m going to lose!”
And Ye Yao’s adorable laughter.
“Haha~ You’re trash!”
“Again, again.”
Luo Jianhua suddenly felt that her sister was bullying people; sometimes she really had a mischievous streak.
The short-haired girl walked out of the room, closed the door, and came to the living room.
Xiao Jing was doing housework.
Seeing Luo Jianhua walk out of the room alone, she showed a surprised expression.
“Oh? You’re usually inseparable from Ye Yao. How come you’re out by yourself today?”
Luo Jianhua showed a faint smile: “Can’t it be that I came out to use the restroom?”
“Oh my, Xiao Jianhua has changed so much, she’s actually making jokes now.”
“Mm… I actually have something serious to do. I need to report information in advance.”
Luo Jianhua put away her smile.
A serious expression appeared on her tender face.
