Uncle

Inside the Qi's Villa,

Qi Yuan lounged in the living room on the first floor, savoring the long-lost feeling of staying at home.

His younger brother wielded a broomstick, performing a chaotic stick technique with no rhyme or reason. The words "huh" and "ha" continually escaped his lips.

Qi Yuan lifted his eyelids, unable to see any trace of his younger brother's impressive skills.

After dealing with the monster yesterday, he used his domain to transport the affected citizens back to the ground, returned the key to Xue Shizong, and went back home.

Before returning home, Qi Yuan was worried about whether his mother and younger brother would be affected.

When he arrived home, he saw that all the curtains were drawn shut, and his mother was happily making desserts.

Meanwhile, his younger brother was still deeply immersed in his homework, shifting his posture every few seconds as if the chair had thorns.

Upon seeing him return, his mother poked her head out of the kitchen.

"You're back! There are monsters outside, so I had to make desserts to pass the time. Would you like to taste them, Xiao Yuan?"

"... "

Qi Yuan: Another day of worrying about the absent-mindedness of his family.

Clap!

A stick lightly tapped the seat next to Qi Yuan, snapping him out of his wandering thoughts.

He looked up and sure enough, it was his younger brother.

His younger brother swung the broomstick, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, his expression excited.

"Brother, come and witness my stick technique, let's have a little spar!"

Qi Yuan glanced at him, raising an eyebrow.

Was he the type of person who bullies children?

Of course--

Yes!

Qi Yuan defeated his younger brother with a single hand while he sat on the sofa, leaving him devastated and huddled in the corner, tears flowing.

"Ding--"

One message after another appeared on his phone, and they were exactly the kind of messages Qi Yuan didn't want to see.

[Shi Jianwen: Jiang Wenyin told me, Brother Yuan, are you secretly an S-class esper?]

[Shi Jianwen: Are you a member of the Dark Nine Seats?]

[Shi Jianwen: I promise not to disclose it! It won't affect your hidden identity.]

I don't believe you!

Qi Yuan sighed again, looking at the elderly person on his phone.

If he dared to make up stories, tomorrow's headline would be about him.

#The Dark Nine Seats Member is Actually Him!#

#Counting the Big Shots around You, Perhaps They Are Members of the Dark Nine Seats#

Qi Yuan selected an emoji package to respond casually, resolutely not typing a single word to the other party.

Denying it would be concealing his identity, admitting it would be showing his cards, no matter how he responded, it would be wrong.

After sending the message, he opened the messages sent by others.

[Lv Cheng: Brother Yuan? I'm coming to Shen City...]

[Gao Changze: Brother Yuan, what should we do next?]

[Xue Shiyun: Sorry to bother you, Brother, but can you help me with raising the level of my esper certificate to S-class?]

Qi Yuan couldn't help but inwardly comment when he saw the last message.

What's wrong with these two siblings?

Why does the brother ask on behalf of the sister, and the sister ask on behalf of the brother?

Is upgrading the esper certificate such a difficult topic to bring up?

Although he had his comments, he still had a favorable impression of the kind-hearted Xue siblings and replied, "I have no problem" to them.

[Shen City Branch President: We are planning a celebration banquet. Will you come?]

[Qi Yuan: No, thank you.]

Being surrounded by a group of people, taking turns flattering him, was akin to being socially dead, as he had deeply experienced yesterday.

Sigh...

The principal had no plans to let him graduate early, and there were no entrepreneurs crying and begging to give him money for protection, nor did any officials contact him.

Is the world going crazy, or have the citizens of Shen City not spread the news?

Qi Yuan speculated that this was a reasonable assumption since his supernatural ability remained at the peak of the A-level without any progress.

The effect of performing a pantomime was terrible, not as impactful as a live broadcast from Qipan City.

And how could ordinary people understand what S-level, SS-level meant...

Just as Qi Yuan was considering joining Qi Ao's self-isolation group in the corner, a message from Yi Shi popped up.

[Yi Shi: They plan to send someone to communicate with you. Would you like to meet them?]

Qi Yuan's pupils dilated, and he sat up straight in excitement.

Finally, the wait was over!

His fingers swiftly tapped the screen, afraid that he would be retracted if he was one second late.

[Qi Yuan: I'm available anytime.]

Yi Shi seemed to be waiting by the phone for a reply, and the response came quickly.

[Yi Shi: Okay, I'll report to them.]

After a few minutes, a new message came.

[Yi Shi: Is tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock convenient?]

[Qi Yuan: That works.]

Qi Yuan hesitated for two seconds and then sent another message.

[Qi Yuan: How are the S-level supernatural beings doing?]

[Yi Shi: They're fine, at least no life-threatening situations.]

...

The next afternoon,

Qi Yuan took Yi Shi's car and arrived at the Duty Bureau. He followed Yi Shi into a conference room.

Inside the conference room, a woman with short hair was sitting.

She had an outstanding temperament and a tall figure, indicating a military background.

When she heard someone enter, the woman with short hair stood up and greeted, "Mr. Qi Yuan, I'm Su Ke."

Yi Shi led him to the conference room and left first.

Qi Yuan nodded and sat down as indicated by Su Ke.

After some brief pleasantries, Su Ke went straight to the point, "Mr. Qi Yuan, do you know that the current strongest supernatural being in Dragon Country, Qi Yunzheng, is your uncle?"

"I know."

Qi Yuan's gaze remained calm as he looked at Su Ke.

Having awakened his telepathic ability for many years, unless his mother also didn't know, it was impossible for him to be unaware of his background.

But there was nothing much to say about his background. It was nothing more than his father climbing up the ranks and abandoning his wife and child, ruthlessly silencing them.

The matter involved his uncle's family, and his aunt was somewhat displeased with it. To avoid further implicating his family, his mother acted as bait and diverted attention, buying time for others to escape Jidu.

Even if his uncle successfully avenged them and drove the Liu Family out of Jidu, his mother couldn't bring herself to go back and see her family.

Su Ke was slightly surprised. According to the information, Qi Yunlan divorced before Qi Yuan was due to be born.

After the divorce, she changed her name and lived alone with her child, drifting to other cities until settling in Qipan City.

It was unexpected that Qi Yunlan was willing to tell her child about this unpleasant past, which was beyond Su Ke's expectations.

However, this way, she wouldn't need to provide too much explanation.

"Mr. Qi Yunzheng has been in a coma since the day before yesterday. Upon examination, we speculate that it is a self-repair hibernation caused by the assimilation and subsequent forced detachment from the domain of abilities, and we cannot determine the awakening time."

"Meanwhile, we are in the process of negotiating a joint cleansing plan with other countries, and we need an SS-level superhuman to support the operation."

"Therefore, we would like to ask for your help."

Su Ke said these words with some uneasiness, unsure if Qi Yuan would be willing to be labeled officially.
