Hearing her younger sister’s words, Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, still finding it a bit hard to believe. So, she said to her sister:
“Xiao Qi, don’t blame me for thinking you’re joking. After all, the things you’re saying are just too incredible.”
Hearing her older sister’s words, Yan Qi, who already knew this matter wouldn’t be easy to gloss over, pulled out her trump card and continued:
“Sis, if you don’t believe me, you can go ask Sister Dao Yan directly and see if what I’m saying is true or not.”
Hearing her younger sister mention Dao Yan, the leader of their Free Life Association, and knowing that her sister’s supernatural abilities were taught to her by Dao Yan, Yan Yu stopped doubting her sister’s words and instead believed everything she said.
“Since you’ve brought up our organization’s leader, Dao Yan, I guess I have no choice but to believe that you really do have exceptional talent in cultivating the Dao.”
“See, you should have believed me earlier! By the way, Sis, do you have any other questions?”
Hearing that her older sister now believed everything she said, a smug smile spread across Yan Qi’s face, and she then asked her sister this.
Regarding this, Yan Yu, who still had one lingering doubt in her heart, asked her younger sister without hiding anything:
“Xiao Qi, when did Dao Yan make contact with you and teach you the Dao methods?”
Hearing this, Yan Qi immediately replied:
“Just this morning, while I was still asleep in bed at home.”
“This morning while you were still sleeping? I didn’t expect Dao Yan to act on her promise so quickly. She just taught me last night, and now she’s already gone and taught you too.”
Getting her sister’s answer, Yan Yu, thinking that Dao Yan was simply fulfilling her promise very promptly, unconsciously said this.
Hearing this, Yan Qi didn’t say anything but instead asked her sister further:
“Sis, do you have any other questions for me?”
Faced with her sister’s inquiry, Yan Yu – whose main reason for having their father hand his phone to her younger sister was to figure out when she had contacted Dao Yan and how she had obtained such powerful supernatural abilities so suddenly – had now clarified the two most important issues. Naturally, she had no other doubts left, and she quickly replied:
“Xiao Qi, I don’t have any more questions for you, but there’s one thing I must tell you.”
“What is it you want to tell me, Sis?”
Yan Qi asked her older sister, somewhat puzzled.
In response, Yan Yu gathered her thoughts for a moment and then said:
“Xiao Qi, now that you’ve become a superhuman, you must remember to use your powers cautiously. Don’t let them cloud your judgment, or they will surely bring disaster to you and the people around you.”
Hearing her sister’s words, Yan Qi was stunned for a moment, but she quickly collected herself and assured her sister over the phone:
“I understand, Sis. I will definitely use my supernatural powers carefully and promise not to harm anyone.”
Receiving her younger sister’s assurance, Yan Yu, who was in the library at Ninghang University, showed a relieved smile on her face. Then, with a serious and warning tone, she continued speaking to her sister:
“Since you’ve made this promise, Xiao Qi, you must keep it. Otherwise, be careful, or I might just have to spank you myself.”
“Don’t worry, Sis. I absolutely won’t give you any reason to spank me.”
“Alright, now that everything that needs to be said has been said, and you’ve been through so much today, I’m sure you’re very tired. I won’t bother you further then. I’ll chat with you on the phone another time.”
“Okay, Sis. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
After saying their goodbyes, Yan Yu hung up the phone.
Hearing the dial tone from her father’s phone indicating the call had ended, Yan Qi quickly reached out and closed the phone’s call screen.
She then picked up the phone and handed it to her father, who was standing beside her.
Seeing the phone his younger daughter handed him, and having listened to the conversation between Yan Yu and Yan Qi, Yan Zhenyi, who now had a general understanding of how his younger daughter had obtained her supernatural abilities, quickly took his phone back.
Remembering what his older daughter Yan Yu had said to Yan Qi, Yan Zhenyi felt it necessary to emphasize the point again. He said to Yan Qi:
“Xiao Qi, since you’ve already promised your sister, I won’t say much more. But you must keep your promise, understand?”
Hearing her husband emphasize this to their younger daughter, Li Caifeng, who was sitting nearby, also chimed in to Yan Qi:
“Yes, Xiao Qi, you absolutely must not break your promise and use the supernatural power you possess for bad things.”
Hearing her parents’ words and knowing they were concerned for her, Yan Qi smiled and said to them:
“Okay, Mom, Dad. I won’t break my promise.”
“That’s good to hear.”
Hearing Yan Qi’s reply, Yan Zhenyi and Li Caifeng breathed a simultaneous sigh of relief and said this in unison, relieved expressions appearing on their faces.
Watching the conversation among the family of three, Bai Yuling, who knew there was no need for her to say anything more, proactively stood up and said:
“Caifeng, now that all the issues within your family have been resolved, it’s time for me to go.”
Seeing her good friend stand up from the sofa and say it was time for her to leave, Li Caifeng stopped focusing her attention on her younger daughter Yan Qi.
She quickly stood up from the sofa as well, attempting to persuade Bai Yuling to stay:
“Yuling, you’ve only just arrived. How can you leave so soon? Please stay and have dinner with our family.”
“Yes, Xiao Bai, please listen to my wife. Stay for dinner.”
Yan Zhenyi, who had been standing all along, also joined in trying to persuade Bai Yuling to stay after hearing his wife’s words.
Faced with their insistence, although Bai Yuling really wanted to stay and have dinner with them, the thought of the pile of urgent matters waiting for her back at the Special Affairs Bureau made her decline as she looked at them:
“I’m sorry, Caifeng, Xiao Yan. There are very urgent matters at the bureau waiting for me to handle, so I really can’t accept your invitation to stay for dinner.”
