93 Chapter - All The Clever Ideas Are Used On Family Members
Lou Wei and the others were still unaware that their plan had been completely seen through by Ye Yao.
“It’s truly brilliant to use this opportunity to have that child come into contact with the Countermeasure Bureau.”
“Problem children aren’t without their redeeming qualities.”
Amidst the intense discussions within the Countermeasure Bureau’s decision-making body, everyone’s perception of Ye Yao had undergone many changes.
Rather than constantly hiding and protecting her, it was better to create a seemingly ordinary image for her.
Any superpowered individual couldn't avoid the Countermeasure Bureau.
Even if new superpowered individuals were discovered among the populace, they would be brought in for registration, as well as ability and potential testing.
Having Mo Qiuli facilitate Ye Yao’s contact with the Countermeasure Bureau was a clever move.
This would even allow for legitimate physical data testing.
Xiao Jing immediately showed a worried expression.
“But… will letting that child contact the Countermeasure Bureau expose our identities?”
The main concern was that keeping such an important secret might cause a crisis of trust with Ye Yao.
Xiao Jing didn’t want Ye Yao to distance herself from her.
For a mother, this would be a significant blow.
Although Lou Wei’s reputation within the Countermeasure Bureau was merely a legend, he hadn’t been packaged into a public figure like a celebrity through the “God-Making” project.
But he wasn’t untraceable either.
If one were to delve a little deeper, Lou Wei’s true identity would eventually be known.
The same was true for Xiao Jing.
“Then we can only guide her appropriately; it’s not yet time for her to know too much.”
At this moment, someone casually remarked,
“Is it really necessary to worry so much?
I don’t think she’ll be that interested in things related to the superhuman world.
She’ll probably go through the motions, come back, and continue playing games in her room.”
As soon as these words were spoken, some couldn't help but gasp.
It seemed quite possible.
Ye Yao’s displayed personality truly lacked ambition.
There wasn't a hint of drive.
To put it extremely, one might even suspect she’d become a NEET in the future.
And such a person would destroy the world in the future?
Everyone present had more than once doubted whether Prophet’s prophecy was wrong.
“Haha… that child is indeed a bit lazy; she should find her true goal in the future.”
Xiao Jing chuckled awkwardly.
Was this, after all, a problem with her parenting?
“No, this is good.”
Someone quickly shook their head.
“It’s less trouble if she can stay like this; what loss can there be in raising a little girl?”
“Indeed.”
Most people were satisfied with Ye Yao’s lack of ambition.
If she had grand ambitions, it would instead make them tremble with fear.
After all, some wealthy magnates aren't afraid of their descendants squandering their wealth, but rather of them starting businesses.
It could give one high blood pressure in minutes.
Ye Yao would certainly be very happy if she knew.
This wave could be considered slacking off by imperial decree.
“Regardless, it is unavoidable to let her enter the public eye.
Since she actively exposed her abnormality to Cheng Muxue, it indicates that her emphasis on secrecy is no longer strong.
Perhaps it won’t be long before she confesses to you, her parents.”
Lou Wei remained silent.
Xiao Jing, however, seemed a bit dejected.
After all, how should she put it?
She was nominally Ye Yao’s mother.
Yet Ye Yao told this secret first to Cheng Muxue, who wasn’t even a close friend.
Xiao Jing admitted she was a little jealous.
“No time like the present; we’ll notify Mo Qiuli this noon to have her take Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua to the Countermeasure Bureau’s base.”
“During that time, no one is allowed to deliberately approach them; Lou Wei can just watch from the shadows.”
Everyone nodded solemnly.
This was undoubtedly a crucial juncture.
No mistakes could be made… As noon approached, Mo Qiuli, whose mood had recovered, suddenly received a message.
At this moment, she had already reverted to her black-haired, glasses-wearing loli form.
She took out her phone and almost had a heart attack again upon seeing it.
“The notification from the Countermeasure Bureau has arrived!”
Ye Yao cast a curious glance.
“What does it say?”
Mo Qiuli took a deep breath, her hands gripping the phone very nervously.
“Uh… the notification says for me to take you all to the Countermeasure Bureau to go through the procedures…”
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s leave now, the sooner we go, the sooner we return.”
Ye Yao had thought someone from the Countermeasure Bureau would come to their door to put on a show.
But she didn’t expect to have to report in herself.
However, it seemed understandable.
Participating in Magical Girl activities was still too abstract.
Not to mention that Lou Wei and Xiao Jing were still ordinary people on the surface.
It would be difficult for the Countermeasure Bureau to come up with a reasonable explanation.
They couldn't just directly say, “Your daughter encountered a terrorist attack yesterday.”
What was the difference between that and directly breaking through that thin veil of secrecy?
Ye Yao also guessed that this procedural visit wouldn’t take too long.
She would definitely be back before dinner.
Going out now was just like visiting Mo Qiuli’s house.
Perhaps this was even the prearranged reason.
Subsequently, the three girls came to the living room.
“Mom, we’re going out for a bit.”
Ye Yao said to Xiao Jing, who was doing housework.
“Oh? Are you going to Mo Qiuli’s house to play? Remember to be back before dinner, okay?”
Xiao Jing didn’t even give Ye Yao a chance to # Nоvеlight # make up an excuse.
What a great mother.
She had everything arranged with a single combo move.
But Ye Yao suddenly wanted to stir up some trouble.
“No, I’m about to come into contact with an authoritative, mysterious organization! Maybe I’ll be recruited to become a national hero, Mom can celebrate my bringing glory to our ancestors in advance!”
Ye Yao’s tone was extremely exaggerated.
An ordinary person hearing it would only think it was a child’s chuunibyou acting up, like when they imagined themselves as Ultraman as a child.
Adults would just smile it off.
But these words sounded a little different in Xiao Jing’s ears.
“Ah haha… then you must work hard, Mom will prepare a feast for you at home, guaranteeing you’ll receive hero-level treatment when you return~”
Xiao Jing’s reaction was incredibly quick.
She was like a gentle mother caring for her child’s feelings, not saying anything to dampen their spirits.
Ye Yao not elaborating further only reinforced that this might just be a simple joke.
Xiao Jing had teased her before.
Why wouldn’t Ye Yao want to tease her mother a little?
That micro-expression just now must have been interesting, right?
“Then we’re heading out.”
“Be careful on the road.”
Xiao Jing slowly exhaled after seeing the three little ones leave.
“You scared me to death… covering up the truth with a joke; if I hadn’t been in the know, I really would have been fooled.”
Xiao Jing had figured it out.
This child, Ye Yao, still had some cleverness about her.
All her little tricks were used on her parents.
Immediately after, Xiao Jing’s lips curved into a slight smile, her mood suddenly improving significantly, and her eyes revealed obvious anticipation.
“Does saying the secret in a joking way mean that I’ll soon hear little Ye Yao’s confession?”
It must be this way!
Even Cheng Muxue could do it, there was no reason Xiao Jing couldn't.
This concerned a “mother’s” dignity!
Ye Yao being closer to her “auntie” had really hurt Xiao Jing.
She had to win this round back somehow.
At the same time, the three of them, Ye Yao, had already left the residential area.
Mo Qiuli, who had been in a state of tension, finally let out a breath.
“Ye Yao… how could you be so honest? Suddenly telling Auntie the truth really scared me to death…”
Ye Yao had a confident expression.
“Hehe~ you don’t understand this, I bet Mom is very happy right now.”
