Ye Fei easily sidestepped Liu Junyi's attack, smiling as he said, "Aunt, this isn't enough to test my real strength. You should try using your full power."
Liu Junyi was a bit taken aback. Even though she had only used about thirty percent of her strength, it would have been difficult for most masters to evade. Yet, Ye Fei had dodged it effortlessly. Realizing he had so real skill, she attacked again, this ti using seventy percent of her power, while keeping so in reserve in case she needed to stop herself.
Her speed was much greater this ti. If Ye Fei tried to dodge the sa way, he wouldn't succeed. But instead of evading, he lifted his left arm to block her strike with ease. In a flash, his right hand shot forward, his fingers aid at her throat with pinpoint precision.
Caught off guard by his speed, Liu Junyi quickly moved back, attempting to find a safe distance to counterattack. However, as Ye Fei's arm reached the end of its motion, it didn't stop. Instead, it seed to multiply, creating an overwhelming barrage of strikes so fast that she couldn't even count them.
In a mont of disbelief, Liu Junyi closed her eyes, bracing for impact. At that speed, she knew no one could block the attack. She only hoped that Ye Fei had focused on speed and not power, or she might actually get hurt.
After a few seconds passed without feeling anything, she cautiously opened her eyes. Ye Fei stood calmly in front of her, smiling. "Aunt, you lost," he said softly.
Confused, Liu Junyi looked down and saw her military uniform dotted with small white marks. Each mark corresponded to one of her body's vital acupuncture points. Shocked, she realized how precise Ye Fei's strikes had been. Although she knew he was stronger, her competitive nature flared up. Unwilling to admit defeat, she stubbornly said, "I didn't lose.
You were just faster, but you didn't break my clothes or hurt ."
Smiling, Ye Fei asked, "Does this an you'll let
join you?"
Liu Junyi wanted to give in but found his grin irritating. "No," she said playfully. "You're fast, but that's all. If speed is what matters, we'd use guns. You still can't protect yourself."
Seeing his aunt, usually so domineering, acting spoiled was new for Ye Fei. It made her seem even more charming, and he couldn't help but feel his heart race. Noticing his distraction, Ye Yunqi cleared her throat to snap him out of it. Embarrassed, Ye Fei glanced quickly at his mother and aunt, relieved they hadn't noticed. Then he asked, "Aunt, what would convince you that I can protect myself?"
Liu Junyi, now more playful than ever, smiled mischievously and said, "It doesn't matter. If I say it doesn't count, it doesn't count!"
Realizing he needed to show sothing more, Ye Fei said, "What if I do this?" He pointed to a heavy iron rack across the room. A soft "hiss" sound filled the air, followed by a sharp tallic "clang" as the entire rack trembled.
The three won rushed over to inspect it. A clean hole had been punched through the thick iron arm of the rack, as if it had been pierced by a laser. Even Liu Junyi couldn't achieve such a feat with her full strength. They were stunned, especially Ye Yunqi, who, despite knowing her brother's power, hadn't expected him to be this strong.
Liu Junyi let out an excited scream, staring at Ye Fei with wide eyes. "True energy release! Xiaoman, tell
how you reached this level!" she exclaid, overwheld by his skill.
Knowing his aunt's deep interest in martial arts, Ye Fei explained with a smile, "Rember the martial arts manual I found years ago? I followed its teachings."
"The one I thought was junk?" Liu Junyi blurted out. She was amazed. She had skimd through that book and dismissed it as nonsense, yet Ye Fei had not only mastered it but had grown incredibly strong because of it.
"That's the one," Ye Fei confird with a nod.
Excited, Liu Junyi rushed over and began patting him down, muttering, "Where's that book? Let
see it!"
Her excitent made Ye Fei nervous. Her touches were tempting. When her hand brushed against him down below, she froze, suddenly realizing what she had grabbed. "Haha! I found it!" she exclaid in the heat of the mont, but quickly let go, her face flushing with embarrassnt. "You little rascal!" she whispered, though she didn't dwell on it, figuring her nephew had simply grown up.
Liu Yiru, unaware of the brief awkward mont, smiled and said, "Xiaoman, you should've shown her the manual sooner, or she'd be worrying all night."
Ye Fei, still embarrassed, responded, "I burned it after mastering it. And even if I hadn't, it's only for n. Aunt wouldn't be able to practice it."
Liu Junyi's excitent faded at his words. Being from a martial arts family, she knew so techniques were gender-specific. If the practice wasn't suitable, it could do more harm than good. However, Ye Fei's mind wandered as he realized sothing. Since the manual was a dual cultivation technique, there had to be another version ant for won. Why hadn't the old man given him that part as well?
Seizing the mont, Ye Fei quickly asked, "Aunt, with my current strength, can I join you on your mission?"
Liu Junyi, though a bit disappointed, finally agreed. "Alright, you've proven yourself. You can co. But you can't go away from base without my permission."
Relieved, Ye Fei noticed her disheartened expression and offered, "Don't worry, Aunt. As far as I know, there's another part of the technique ant for won. I'll do my best to find it for you."
Liu Junyi brightened instantly. "Really? I knew you were the best, Xiaoman!" she said, patting his shoulder affectionately.
"I haven't seen it myself, and the person who gave
the manual never ntioned it," Ye Fei warned. "But I'll keep looking."
"It's fine," Liu Junyi said optimistically. "As long as we know it exists, there's hope. And with you already finding this part, the other one will be easier to track down."
Ye Fei admired her positivity. "I'll find it one day, Aunt. I promise."
Back in the living room, Liu Yiru and Liu Junyi chatted, catching up on each other's lives. Although they both lived in Wanghai, they rarely had ti to see one another. Now that her worries about Liu Junyi's safety were gone, Liu Yiru could finally relax and enjoy their conversation.
anwhile, Ye Yunqi sat to the side, clearly unhappy. Sensing her mood, Ye Fei asked, "Qiqi, do you want to co too?"
"Yes!" she quickly responded, eager to be with her brother no matter the situation.
Overhearing this, Liu Yiru intervened, "Qiqi, this isn't a place for fun. Your brother and aunt won't have ti to look after you if things get dangerous."
Ye Yunqi, despite wanting to show off her hidden strength, chose to stay quiet and simply pouted. Her dissatisfaction was clear, which made Liu Yiru feel even more helpless.
Ye Fei smiled at his sister, trying to reassure her. "Mom's right. You can't go this ti. But next ti, when it's safer and more fun, I'll take you along, okay?"
Reluctantly, Ye Yunqi agreed, though she wasn't entirely satisfied. However, Liu Yiru couldn't help but notice the dynamic between her children had shifted. Normally, Ye Yunqi was the one in charge, while Ye Fei followed her lead. But now, it seed her daughter was starting to defer to her son. It was a strange shift, but she didn't dwell on it and returned to her conversation with Liu Junyi.

Later that evening, as everyone prepared for bed, Ye Fei decided to call his aunt, Liu Fengyi, and inform her about the mission. After several rings, she finally picked up.
"Xiaoman, why are you calling
so late? Is sothing wrong?" Liu Fengyi's sweet voice ca through the phone, though she sounded slightly out of breath.
Ye Fei imdiately explained the situation, telling her about Liu Junyi's upcoming mission and asking for permission to join. To his surprise, Liu Fengyi, who usually doted on him, seed unusually hesitant. The more he explained, the more resistant she beca. As their conversation dragged on, her breathing beca heavier, and she seed distracted.
Finally, after a series of soft moans, she suddenly agreed to let both him and Liu Junyi go on the mission.
Recognizing the familiar sounds from the phone, Ye Fei's eyes lit up. Feeling a surge of excitent, he decided to pay her a visit in person. Quietly, he slipped out of the window, making sure no lights were on in his mother or sister's rooms, and dashed towards Wanghai Tower, where Liu Fengyi lived.
Thanks to his enhanced speed and agility, it took Ye Fei less than ten minutes to cover the vast distance to the tower. Scaling the building with ease, he reached the top floor where Liu Fengyi live.
Although Wanghai Tower has extrely tight defenses, that is only the inside. Although there is a very advanced radar system outside, it is of no use to a person like Ye Fei, so he easily found the room where Liu Fengyi lived.
Since this is where the biggest leader of Wanghai lives, and the defense system below is extrely powerful, naturally there are no security guards coming in and out here. It can be said that now, apart from Ye Fei, the only person living on the entire top floor is Liu Fengyi.
And precisely because of this, the window of Liu Fengyi's room was not closed. As soone who had practiced martial arts since childhood, she did not like to use things like air conditioners most of the ti. The weather was a bit hot now, so she naturally would not close the window. Unexpectedly, this gave Ye Fei a good opportunity.
