Chapter 420: Chapter 214: You’re Talking Nonsense; I’ve Always Been Holding You Back! [6000 words, major chapter]_3
“Ye Fan, I think I should ask Grandpa about it, I feel like Grandpa should know something; after all, he knows those big shots from the official side. Maybe he’ll know something,” Bai Susu said.
She thought that the more she knew, the better she could cope with the upcoming events and emergencies.
Maybe Grandpa even had a way to protect the children?
It was indeed possible.
“You can ask, but don’t talk about the kids for now, it’s better to be cautious,” Ye Fan advised Bai Susu.
Actually, discussing important matters over the phone wasn’t very safe.
If someone wiretapped and heard some vital information, it would be troublesome.
“Susu, be careful with the phone!” Ye Fan warned his wife, Bai Susu.
Bai Susu wasn’t foolish; she understood immediately.
Talking on the phone wasn’t very secure.
Some things could be mentioned.
But others couldn’t.
To avoid drawing attention.
“I understand, I’ll call Grandpa later,” Bai Susu said.
In these extraordinary times, being extra cautious was never wrong.
“Ye Bing, Ye Qing, Ye Yu, Ye Jie, your school was the first to have students with superpowers; so, the authorities will surely investigate your school and test you. You must remain calm and not reveal anything. Hide your abilities well to avoid trouble!” Ye Fan earnestly told the four little ones across from him.
The news had just broken this morning, and by the afternoon, there were superpowered people in their school; they would undoubtedly be the center of attention.
At this point, the children couldn’t afford any mistakes.
Otherwise…
Ye Fan, inwardly, was worried, that was certain.
But asking for leave for the kids would be even more dangerous, inviting suspicion and increased scrutiny.
On the other hand, if they continued to hide their abilities in school, it would be safer!
Isn’t there a saying?
The safest place is often the most dangerous.
“Understood, Dad!”
“We’ll be careful and protect ourselves from exposure!”
“Mmhm, we’ll listen to you.”
The little ones were aware of the seriousness of the situation, so they were very obedient.
They also knew how much their parents worried about them.
They had to be even more well-behaved and protect themselves to ease their parents’ minds.
Ye Fan looked at his children, nodding in satisfaction.
“Alright, there’s one more thing. Look after the three little ones, and whoever you feel a connection with, or feel affection for, choose them. From now on, you’ll be good companions, who can have each other’s backs. You must trust and rely on each other!” Ye Fan said as he pushed the three little ones he had with him in front of his four children.
Of course, to be precise, there were three.
Because Little Fourth Ye Jie already had Niuniu, the Vermilion Bird.
These three matched well with the three children.
The three little ones were a bit confused, but they listened to their father’s words.
After all, whatever their dad did was for their own good.
The task was to find the one they felt closest to.
They each looked at the three little ones in front of them with delight in their eyes.
Ye Bing’s gaze settled on the little green snake. She felt an instinctive warmth and closeness to it, and the little green snake slowly approached Ye Bing as well.
They both felt a shared warmth and affection.
“Little green snake, would you like to follow me?” Ye Bing reached out her hand and asked with a smile.
The little green snake tilted its head to look at Ye Bing and quickly slithered closer to her side.
Ye Bing was overjoyed.
She reached out to pat the little head of Xiao Qing.
“From now on, I’ll call you Xiao Qing, it really suits you,” Ye Bing said, hugging Xiao Qing in her arms, her eyes brimming with joy.
Xiao Qing looked at Ye Bing, its brown pupils filled with happiness.
“Once you’ve decided on each other, don’t rush to form a pact. I will take you to another place to do it,” Ye Fan told them.
Because bonding could be too conspicuous.
When Little Fourth Ye Jie formed a bond with Niuniu, it was quite a spectacle.
Doing it here would be disastrous!
So, it was absolutely not allowed to conduct the bonding ceremony here.
Although not all bonding ceremonies have to cause a big disturbance, being careful is always better.
Just in case!
Better safe than sorry!
And Ye Qing, for his part, had picked up a small lion dog and was cheerfully playing with it.
The little lion dog also adored Ye Qing, licking his little hands with glee.
It seemed that Ye Qing had chosen the little lion dog.
Meanwhile, Ye Yu was dragging a small turtle.
The small turtle didn’t bite Ye Yu, but instead seemed happy laying on his palm, with its pointed head constantly staring at Ye Yu.
Ye Fan watched the scene, quite satisfied.
He saw that the three little ones had found their favorite companions.
Since these pets were still young and their forms were unclear, Ye Fan didn’t know what they really were.
It was only during Ye Jie’s bonding with the Vermilion Bird that Niuniu revealed its true form.
Perhaps these little ones were also in a state of illusion.
The three little ones all had names now: Xiao Qing, Xiao Bai, and Xiao Gui!
