Ancestor's Ability

Gao Qiao was the owner of this KTV joint. In that silent moment, there was a sudden commotion at the door. Someone outside the door was heard shrieking, "Arghhh, police! Run!"

Ye Yao was speechless. She could feel Huo Buyu's threatening gaze boring through her. The girl found herself on the verge of crying but had no tears. She really didn't do it on purpose.

Gao Qiao was stunned as well. How many times had this happened? He got onto his feet and said, "I'll go take a look." Before he went out, he glanced at Ye Yao. This was his KTV joint. Since the policemen had turned up, as the boss, he naturally had to go out and assess the situation. All his businesses in the capital were legal and proper ones that operated by the book.

Huo Buyu also stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

Ye Yao sat on the sofa trembling. Once again, she seemed to have said something she shouldn't have… Indeed, Huo Buyu had a point in telling her to speak less. Sometimes, her jinxing ability was simply an annoyance. Things would happen just by her uttering a few words, and now she'd even brought the police! How terrifying was that!

After Huo Buyu and Gao Qiao left the room, Yang Youwei gestured to Ye Yao. "Ye Yao, come over here."

Ye Yao walked over. "Little Uncle."

Jiang Jie walked over as well, and sat down beside Yang Youwei. She even sweetly put her arms around his. Yang Youwei did not stop her and only looked at Ye Yao. "Did you bring about the snow earlier on?"

Jiang Jie was puzzled by what the man said. What did he mean by her bringing about the snow?

Ye Yao frowned upon hearing this. "Little Uncle, how did you know?"

Yang Youwei sighed and turned to Jiang Jie, "Leave the room for a while. I need to speak alone with Ye Yao."

"Alright," Jiang Jie replied. She was very well behaved towards Yang Youwei. Of course, whether she was agreeable depended on the situation. If it had been any other girl and not Ye Yao, she would certainly not leave the room!

After Jiang Jie had gone out, Yang Youwei said, "It's said that a thousand years ago, our ancestor was a famous verbal virtuoso. The so-called verbal virtuoso refers to someone who is able to make things happen by verbalizing it. At the peak of development a verbal virtuoso is able to see the future."

Ye Yao was stunned. What kind of terrifying ability was this?

The man continued, "Later on, our ancestor seemed to have done something wrong and was cursed. Our family's ability gradually disappeared over the generations. Although our ancestral records stated that some heirs would possess such an ability, it seems that it hasn't appeared for hundreds of years. I didn't expect it to fall on you eventually."

Ye Yao subconsciously gulped.

Yang Youwei asked her, "When did you discover your ability?"

The girl scratched her head before replying, "The time my father sent me overseas, I seemed to have suddenly developed this ability."

The man probed further, "Does Huo Buyu know about it?"

Ye Yao nodded. "He does."

Yang Youwei was silent for a while before asking, "Tell me about your ability."

Ye Yao thought for a moment. "The good things never happen, but bad things do. Then, in bad situations, it works even better. Today, for instance, the snowflakes disappeared after a while. Also, if I were to curse the plane to crash, it won't crash." The latter was just an analogy Ye Yao used to illustrate her point to Yang Youwei.

Yang Youwei was instantly speechless. He finally understood why Huo Buyu seemed to be breathing down her neck! Her ability was so nature-defying yet she was frivolous with her words and actions, even to the point of cursing a plane to crash? This concerned the lives of many people! How could it be treated like child's play!

Yang Youwei replied, "I don't have full knowledge of this ability of yours. On his deathbed, Grandpa told me to let the next generation know that this ability may never reappear, but it once witnessed the glory of our family."

Ye Yao understood. "Since it's an ability within the family, are there any secrets? For example, when to use it and how to use it?" She scratched her head in frustration. "This ability is really a headache sometimes. Sometimes, a casual sentence will be effective. For example, just then…" She expected that Huo Buyu would probably give her a hiding once she got home!

Yang Youwei was helpless as well. At this point, the door of the private room flew open and Huo Buyu walked in. "Ye Yao, it's getting late. We should go home."

Ye Yao stood up and waved at Yang Youwei. "Uncle, I'll take my leave then."

Yang Youwei nodded. On the way out, Ye Yao gave Jiang Jie a hug and said, "It's late. I have to get going. Let's meet up and have some fun again when we next have time."

Jiang Jie waved at her. "Alright!"

As they walked out, Ye Yao stole a glance at Huo Buyu and asked, "Are things alright with Gao Qiao's KTV?"
