“How could I possibly forget something so important?”
Hearing Bai Yuling’s words, Yan Qi controlled her avatar, Si Yexing, to say this with a laugh. After a brief pause, she continued.
“Anyway, let’s not talk about that anymore, Director Bai. We should be going now. We’ll see you again if we get the chance.”
“Mhm, goodbye.”
With that said, Yan Qi didn’t let her main body and avatar linger any longer. Soon, they had left the now-razed stronghold of the Fire Demon Cult and were on their way back.
Safely back in her own home, and after confirming her mother hadn’t noticed she’d been out during the day, Yan Qi dismissed her transformation, reverting to her white-haired, red-eyed loli form. She instantly relaxed.
“Phew, with the Special Affairs Bureau’s help in wiping out the Fire Demon Cult’s stronghold here in Windbreak City, I don’t have to worry about them pulling something like the Plague Cult over in Ninghang City, which nearly destroyed the entire city.”
Lying on her bed, thinking about the Flesh Flower incident that happened in Ninghang City a few days ago—an event she was deeply involved in—Yan Qi couldn’t help but murmur to herself.
“But I can’t let my guard down completely just because of this. After all, there are still plenty of lunatics in this world who worship those Abyssal Monsters.”
Knowing there were many cult organizations in this world that worshipped the Abyssal Monsters, viewing those creatures—which constantly sought to destroy humanity—as gods, Yan Qi couldn’t help but utter this.
“I’ve rested enough. Since it’s not lunchtime yet, I should use this time to cultivate and improve my main body’s strength.”
Realizing that powerful strength was the most reliable guarantee for living a peaceful life in this world, Yan Qi climbed out of her bed and, as usual, threw herself into cultivation.
Time flew by, and soon it was evening. After finishing dinner with her parents and spending some time watching TV with them in the living room,
Yan Qi returned to her room.
Once back in her room, she sat on her bed and looked at the application her sister had sent via the mysterious chat app.
Knowing she had to respond tonight, Yan Qi quickly clicked on her sister’s lit-up profile picture, entering the chat interface.
『Yan Yu, I have something very important to tell you.』
Yan Yu, who was studying in the school library, felt the special vibration from the phone at her waist.
Realizing it was a message via the mysterious chat app,
and remembering the application she had sent to Daoyan yesterday, Yan Yu quickly pulled out her phone and opened the mysterious chat app.
Seeing the message sent by Yan Qi via the Daoyan account,
Yan Yu hurriedly typed a reply with one hand.
『Daoyan, is this important thing you mentioned about the application I sent you yesterday being approved?』
Looking at the message from her sister, Yan Qi quickly replied.
『Yes, the application you submitted yesterday has been approved.』
Seeing Daoyan’s message stating her application was approved, Yan Yu immediately felt a surge of excitement.
If she weren’t currently in the school library, afraid of disturbing others studying here, she probably would have cried out in excitement already.
Controlling her exhilaration slightly, and still unsure when she and her family would be able to learn the Dao techniques, Yan Yu continued typing on her phone to inquire.
『Thank you for approving my application, Daoyan. So, when will my family and I be able to learn your Dao techniques?』
Seeing her sister’s inquiry, which she had anticipated, Yan Qi promptly replied.
『I have some matters to attend to tonight, so I won’t be free until tomorrow evening to impart the techniques to you.』
“Tomorrow evening? I wonder what specific time.”
Muttering this to herself after seeing the message Yan Qi sent via the Daoyan account, Yan Yu typed another question.
『Daoyan, could you give me a specific time?』
Seeing her sister’s question, and knowing that going out too early carried some risk, Yan Qi typed her reply.
『How about 9 PM?』
“9 PM? Hmm, that time slot works. But, why did Daoyan only mention imparting them to me? What about my parents and my little sister?”
Seeing the message from the Daoyan account, Yan Yu suddenly realized her family hadn’t been mentioned. She slightly furrowed her brows, then quickly typed another question on her phone.
『9 PM is fine. But, Daoyan, why didn’t you mention when you would impart the techniques to my family?』
Seeing her sister’s message, which she had fully expected, Yan Qi didn’t hesitate and typed her reply.
『Regarding your family, I will find another suitable time to impart the techniques to them. Don’t worry.』
Reading Daoyan’s latest message, Yan Yu felt instant relief, then typed.
『I understand.』
『By the way, Yan Yu, there’s one more thing I need to tell you.』
Suddenly remembering something, just as she was about to end the night’s conversation with her sister, Yan Qi quickly typed on her phone.
『Besides the application matter, what else did you need to tell me, Daoyan?』
Yan Yu typed, somewhat puzzled.
『This matter concerns your parents and your little sister.』
Yan Qi typed in reply.
“My parents?”
Muttering this, unable to understand why Daoyan’s matter would involve her parents, Yan Yu thought for a moment and then continued typing.
『Since it involves my parents and my little sister, please go ahead and tell me, Daoyan.』
Looking at the text from her sister displayed on the phone, Yan Qi thought for a moment and then replied.
『Yan Yu, the fact that you are a superhuman, and a member of our organization, is already known to your parents and your little sister.』
“What?! The fact that I’m a superhuman and an organization member… my parents and little sister know? How did this happen?”
Uttering this in a tone of disbelief, Yan Yu hurriedly typed a follow-up question.
『How did this happen? Why do my parents and my little sister know that I’m a superhuman and an organization member?』
『From what I understand, it actually happened like this.』
