Esper X Family – Chapter 720 – Meeting Of The Two Sides

The scene shifted.

Xia Lian and the others were already seated on the sofa in the living room.

Mu Luo, Gu Wenxin, Jiang Huashen, and Yu Jin were squeezed onto the balcony, pretending to admire the view to mask the subtle emotions churning within them.

The Four Weakling Brothers hadn’t wanted to come, but they simply couldn’t refuse Ye Yao.

In her words, this visit was necessary to clear up misunderstandings, and their personal presence was essential.

Only Xia Lian, Wu Mi, and An Qi sat obediently on the sofa. Under Xiao Jing’s subtle gaze, all three felt somewhat constrained.

Who could have predicted this?

Ye Yao had gone out just once and managed to capture the Sequence Esper fugitives who had been giving the Countermeasure Bureau a major headache.

She even brought those people home, as if she had picked up a pitiful stray animal from the street.

However, after experiencing last night’s major incident, Xiao Jing had developed a slight immunity to such shocks.

No matter how strange Ye Yao’s actions became, Xiao Jing probably wouldn’t find them surprising anymore.

“Little Yao, how did you meet these friends?”

Now that she knew Ye Yao could see through everything, Xiao Jing actually felt much more at ease.

After all, there was no need to lie to Ye Yao anymore.

The fact that she had returned to this fake family indicated that Ye Yao accepted her as a mother.

This became evident when compared to Lou Wei’s situation.

Xiao Jing didn’t ask about what happened last night. Instead, she focused on the present.

Ye Yao smiled slightly. “I picked these friends up from outside. Their situations were too worrying to ignore, so I decided to help them.”

Mu Luo and the others were speechless.

Since Ye Yao was so powerful, whatever she said must be right.

They truly had no counterarguments.

Xiao Jing smiled helplessly.

“Little Yao, you’ve really given us a difficult problem.”

Ye Yao blinked and said, “The adults behind Mom shouldn’t have any objections, right? Actually, I’ve already cured their ailments, so returning to normal life shouldn’t be an issue.”

“I can’t make that decision alone. I might need to discuss it with the others.”

“I thought Mom could make decisions on their behalf.”

“Well, they did say that whatever request you made, they would agree to it first.”

Xiao Jing treated Ye Yao like family, showing no signs of scheming or hidden agendas. She was practically revealing the color of the old timers’ underwear.

Ye Yao nodded thoughtfully. “Mom, was I too scary yesterday?”

“It was indeed a bit frightening. Even I was startled at first.”

“So, how do you see me now, Mom?”

Xiao Jing thought for a moment and evaluated, “A good child pretending to be fierce?”

“I thought Mom would be very afraid.”

“How could a mother ever fear her own child? I have never considered Little Yao a dangerous person.”

“Hmm, that’s exactly why I like Mom more. Father isn’t quite up to par.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Yao turned her head toward the balcony. She wasn’t looking at the Four Weakling Brothers who were pretending to enjoy the view, but at someone else.

“Father is back.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, a black dot appeared in the vision of Mu Luo and the other three. In the blink of an eye, a figure materialized before them. It was Lou Wei, who had just returned from the Yunited States!

To be precise, it should be Lou Weiwei.

Her figure appeared above the balcony.

The four of them clearly hadn’t realized the severity of the situation yet. They subconsciously moved aside to give her space to land.

Lou Weiwei quickly landed on the balcony. She glanced at the four familiar faces but didn’t make any sudden moves. Instead, she brushed past them and walked into the living room.

“I’m back.”

Yu Jin withdrew his gaze and reminded the others, “This is one of the powerhouses who caused a huge disturbance at the Yunited States Esper Organization.”

Mu Luo’s body and mind tensed up. He felt as though he were being stared at by a natural predator.

“So strong. In front of her, I can’t even run away.”

Jiang Huashen’s expression was somewhat odd. “Why do I sense a hint of familiar charm from her? It’s as if she stepped out of a painting.”

Gu Wenxin finally spoke up. “She is clearly female, so why does Ye Yao call her Father?”

The Four Weakling Brothers fell silent.

This was indeed a question worth pondering.

Inside the living room.

Everyone’s attention was quickly drawn to the returning Lou Weiwei.

Especially Xia Lian, whose eyes lit up upon seeing the cute character modeling.

It was such a classy “Sunshine Kitten”!

As expected of Ye Yao’s father!

Wait, father?

Xia Lian nearly failed to process this information.

The next moment, Ye Yao stood beside Lou Weiwei and began introducing her to those unfamiliar with her.

“Ahem! Let me formally introduce my Father. Her original name was Lou Wei, but ‘Lou Weiwei’ is more appropriate now. Her alias is ‘Crimson Wheel’. She currently works as a Magical Girl, and this is her Magical Girl form. How is it? Isn’t it beautiful and cute?”

Lou Weiwei’s expression remained calm, and she didn’t deny it.

The Four Weakling Brothers on the balcony also heard Ye Yao’s introduction.

Mu Luo, the great god in the field of intelligence gathering, felt his worldview crumbling.

That’s Lou Wei?

Although he hadn’t seen him with his own eyes, the information he had gathered indicated that Lou Wei was clearly the strongest Esper of the current era, the Countermeasure Bureau’s ultimate trump card, and a man in his prime. How could he be this little girl?

And what is this “Magical Girl” business?

“Have I lived long enough to see everything?”

The others had also heard Mu Luo share this intelligence, and they all felt incredulous.

Xia Lian’s smile froze, and she fell completely silent.

Although the character model was nice, she truly couldn’t accept a cold-faced person with no “cat-like” qualities whatsoever.

Moreover, Lou Wei would chase down fugitive Sequence Espers and crush them everywhere!

It was too terrifying!

Although White Catty was also strong, she was cute both inside and out!

This approachability was something Lou Weiwei couldn’t compare to!

Fortunately, the early-stage Dayun Truck hadn’t started pressuring Xia Lian yet. Otherwise, she would most likely be hissing furiously.

Lou Weiwei paid no attention to Xia Lian and the others. She simply reported the situation in the Yunited States to Ye Yao.

“Fu Qi is cleaning up the mess at the Sentinel Organization. They should uncover the so-called Sanctuary soon.”

“I see~”

Ye Yao expressed great relief.

Now, in this second playthrough, both Lou Wei and Fu Qi were using cheats. The latter was a grandmaster of the spatial domain with maxed-out mechanisms. With such high stats, it was probably a perfect counter to the Sanctuary.

Barring any accidents, Fu Qi would soon deduce the hidden location of the Sanctuary and push through it effortlessly.

Anyway, the Vengeful Spirit in the second playthrough was just a decoration. Dealing with the remaining small fry was a trivial matter, not worth spending words on!

Ye Yao was too lazy to bother with those matters.

“Father, can these new friends of mine return to normal lives? I heard the Countermeasure Bureau has some minor prejudices against them.”

Ye Yao asked Lou Weiwei directly.

Despite possessing dictatorial power, she still consulted the Countermeasure Bureau’s opinion. Wasn’t she a good girl?

Lou Weiwei took a deep breath. “As long as you don’t destroy the world, you can do as you please.”

“Yay!”
