Esper X Family – Chapter 320 – Have You Ever Met an S-Rank Esper?

Ye Yao didn’t plan to put that much pressure on Fu Qi.

Although watching her uncle sweat bullets internally was amusing, she was still a guest in their home.

Plus, she had already obtained the information she wanted.

Ye Yao felt that it was time to quit while she was ahead.

Probably.

“Uncle, after I meet with my sister, I’ll convince her to accept you all, and then I’ll bring her to see you!”

“Haha…”

Fu Qi was about to start sweating bullets again.

“I look forward to that day.”

In reality, that wasn’t the case.

Fu Qi had already met her several times.

He felt no anticipation whatsoever.

In fact, he wanted to avoid her like the plague.

Ye Yao acted as if she didn’t know what he was thinking.

“About this matter, I want Uncle to temporarily not tell Mom and Dad. When the time comes, I’ll bring my sister back to meet them.”

There’s really no need to go through such trouble.

Fu Qi sighed inwardly.

Ye Yao’s words were too naive.

She had completely failed to understand the potential crisis hidden within this.

Ye Tong had already implied that the two sides couldn’t meet for the time being.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Based on the fact that she was separated from Ye Yao’s body.

Coupled with her consistently righteous behavior.

Showing no signs of doing anything inhuman whatsoever.

It could be inferred that she also didn’t want things to spiral out of control.

The Countermeasures Bureau would cooperate fully.

This also gave them a direction to struggle in.

Currently, the Prophet Tu Sheng couldn’t provide specific guidance.

The Countermeasures Bureau could only grasp at the lifeline Ye Tong had thrown them.

Rеаd οո КαtRеаdiոɡСafе

It was undeniably very risky.

But there was no other choice.

Enduring pressure had become routine.

However, Ye Yao was unaware of all this.

She naively believed that the sisters only required a simple meeting to reunite.

And that there were no other obstacles besides that.

But the Countermeasures Bureau she trusted was one of the biggest obstacles.

Aside from that, there was Ye Tong herself.

As long as Ye Tong didn’t want it, Ye Yao probably wouldn’t be able to meet her even if she overturned the entire Countermeasures Bureau.

Fu Qi stared at Ye Yao with a smile.

A trace of guilt flashed through his mind.

Putting aside Ye Yao’s special identity, she just seemed like a girl who wanted to reunite with her family.

Yet, the Countermeasures Bureau had to go to great lengths to obstruct her.

As the Director, Fu Qi felt that his conscience was under attack.

But matters of global safety couldn’t be mixed with personal feelings.

Lou Wei was right.

Ye Yao simply watched Fu Qi go through his psychological judgment.

She could only say that he had more emotional range than the Dayun Truck.

Ye Yao was satisfied.

Should she temporarily end her persecution of her uncle?

The main thing was to keep it sustainable.

She didn’t want Fu Qi to develop resistance from too much pressure.

Balance work and rest, is it?

If he became like Lou Wei, that wouldn’t be fun anymore.

“Then thank you, Uncle, for clearing up my doubts. Next are just a few questions I’m a bit curious about.”

Ye Yao stared at Fu Qi with inquisitive eyes.

“If I may ask, Uncle, you should be an Esper too, right? Can you show me your ability?”

Reαd оո ΚаtReаⅾiոgСαfе

“…”

Fu Qi really wanted to say no.

But that would be an obvious lie.

Within the headquarters, non-Espers were the rarest species.

Regarding this, Fu Qi could only steel himself and reveal a little of his ability.

He simply raised one finger.

During this, there wasn’t the slightest energy fluctuation.

But a tangerine appeared in his previously empty hand.

“This is my ability…”

Fu Qi originally wanted to fabricate some ability effect.

But Ye Yao quickly let out an adorable exclamation.

“Wow! Could this be the legendary spatial ability?! Then, Uncle, can you use spatial slash to cut enemies in half? This kind of development appeared in the manhua I’ve been reading recently, and it’s absolutely impactful!”

The silver-haired girl’s statement directly caused Fu Qi’s brain to short-circuit.

He almost choked on his breath.

Even his train of thought was forcibly interrupted in the midst of fabricating a lie.

“Ahaha… I’m not that amazing…”

Fu Qi started sweating bullets again.

What kind of lousy manhua doxxed me!?

I’m just an ordinary logistics personnel!

How could I possibly know a killing move like “spatial slash”?

He absolutely cannot admit it.

Ye Yao continued to press.

“So, what’s Uncle’s current mental power?”

“Less than a thousand.”

Fu Qi had indeed suppressed his own mental power fluctuation to a value below a thousand.

To avoid one of Ye Yao’s friends from giving him a subtle expression.

It must be noted that Wu Mi’s mental power was as high as over three thousand!

Enough to see through the details of low-level Espers.

Fu Qi didn’t want to mess up here.

Rеαd οո ΚаtRеaԁingСαfе

“I see. It seems Uncle still needs to work hard.”

Ye Yao nodded thoughtfully.

“So, when Uncle’s mental power reaches S-rank, will you be able to learn spatial slash? Can you perform it for me then?”

Fu Qi could only suck in a sharp breath inwardly.

Why is this child so fixated on “spatial slash”?

It would be one thing if he couldn’t do it.

The key was that he actually could!

Because what Ye Yao said was so close to the truth, Fu Qi felt an intense sense of guilt.

“Cough cough, you’re overestimating me.

Your uncle here is probably destined to be in logistics his whole life. How could I possibly reach S-rank?”

Fu Qi just wanted to make himself seem unremarkable.

Damn that powerhouse aura!

Disappear!

Ye Yao’s eyes were incredibly bright.

Although she no longer showed signs of emotional instability.

She still brought considerable pressure to Fu Qi.

Anyway, Ye Yao didn’t feel like she was applying pressure.

She was clearly just casually chatting with her uncle.

Just casually chatting!

Ye Yao gazed intently at Fu Qi, as if very certain of her judgment.

“But I feel like Uncle has the bearing of a dragon among men, you just give off an S-rank feeling.”

“Have you ever met an S-rank Esper?”

Fu Qi was getting anxious.

Under the Countermeasures Bureau’s containment, Ye Yao had never met anyone who claimed to be an S-rank Esper.

Lou Wei was well-hidden, appearing as an ordinary father in Ye Yao’s eyes.

Fang Ze and Cheng Muxue also presented themselves as ordinary people.

There was no way Ye Yao could use an S-rank Esper as a reference.

Only Ye Tong would interact with many S-rank Espers.

It couldn’t be because of a special connection between the ability avatar and the host, could it?

Rеаԁ oո KαtRеaԁіnɡСαfе

【Fu Qi suspects that you have a special connection with Ye Tong】

Good idea!

A clever little idea quickly emerged in Ye Yao’s mind.

She scratched her head, putting on a regretful expression.

“I’ve never met any.”

Just as Fu Qi relaxed, he saw Ye Yao looking thoughtful again.

“But I don’t know why, I always feel like I’ve met quite a few S-rank Espers. Maybe it’s just my imagination.”

Fu Qi: “…”

What does she mean by “feel like I’ve met quite a few S-rank Espers”?

The connection between Ye Yao and Ye Tong is definitely not simple!

It’s absolutely not just at the level of being able to directly summon her with a call!

Now, Fu Qi was afraid that Ye Tong might be able to share memories.

That would expose the Countermeasures Bureau!

“Maybe… it really is your imagination.”

Fu Qi forced a smile.

He wanted to run away.

Fortunately, his phone rang at that moment.

Fu Qi quickly stood up as if grasping a lifeline.

“I’ll go take this call first, you girls have fun.”

“Oh.”

Ye Yao watched Fu Qi’s hastily retreating back and began to reflect on herself.

Had she… gone too far with the teasing?

But it was really fun.

Ehehe!

Author Note

Sadly, I have to stay overnight at a relative’s house. I drove 70 kilometers ¹ 43.5 miles to visit relatives and didn’t bring my computer. I thought I could go home tonight, but my family and relatives kept drinking and got drunk. Plans couldn’t keep up with changes. I even had to squeeze out this chapter on my phone. Since things have come to this, I’ll take a day off tomorrow!
