The instructions also said that Verbal Virtuosity was an ability that benefited everyone. If one said something that one shouldn’t have said to a good person, it wouldn’t come true on a good person. Or, if it came true, it wouldn’t achieve the effect of harm. If one cursed a bad person, the curse would twice as likely come true. This latter explanation put Ye Yao more at ease. This meant that no matter what she said, it would be fine because it wouldn’t have any effect on a good person.
Ye Yao did not expect this Verbal Virtuosity Technique to be so humanized.
Huo Buyu saw that Ye Yao was engrossed in the wordless manual and was reading it seriously. He quickly gestured for her to stop. “Stop reading.” He was afraid that she would be taken for a lunatic if she continued reading. There was clearly not a single word in the book!
Ye Yao pushed the man’s hand away impatiently. “What are you doing? I’m studying my Verbal Virtuosity Technique. Huo Buyu, the book says that the Verbal Virtuosity Technique only works on bad people and has no effect on good people.”
Huo Buyu clutched a handful of his hair anxiously and looked solemnly into Ye
Yao’s eyes. “Ye Yao, I cannot see a single word on the book in your hand.”
“Huh?” Ye Yao was dumbfounded. She opened the book and pointed at the words on it. “Can’t you see the words on it?”
Huo Buyu nodded seriously. “No I can’t.”
“Wait a minute.” Ye Yao quickly took out her phone and sent a message to Yang
Youwei. “Uncle, what did you write in the book you gave me?”
Yang Youwei replied very quickly, “It’s completely blank. Not a word.”
Ye Yao was taken aback. She opened the book in front of Huo Buyu. “Can’t you see anything? But it’s really full of words. It’s just that the book is written in ancient Chinese. I have to translate the text before I can understand it.” She felt that her ability to accept things had become stronger. It was probably because she had obtained the Verbal Virtuosity Technique, so only she could see the contents of this book. In the past, she would definitely be like Huo Buyu and not believe in such nonsense. However, now that all these things had happened to her, she got used to it.
Huo Buyu sat beside Ye Yao and watched as she stared at the blank pages of the book. She really looked like a lunatic! Moreover, because he too, sat there watching Ye Yao for so long, he ended up looking like a lunatic as well! Hence, he got up and went upstairs.
Ye Yao did not understand everything that was written in the book, mainly because the language was too obscure. She was able to decipher the earlier section, but not the later section. There were some words that she could not see clearly. Then… she suddenly understood. It seemed that she was not at a high enough level, hence could not decipher them. For example, her Verbal Virtuosity Technique should be around level three, so she could see the content before level three. However, it was impossible that there were only three levels to the Verbal Virtuosity Technique.
After thinking this through, Ye Yao didn’t persist. In any case, she had already understood from the book that the Verbal Virtuosity Technique was a good thing. It didn’t work on good people, but it was doubly effective on bad people. Moreover, she herself had the ability to discern between good and bad. This was good enough. Then, Ye Yao went upstairs, carefully put the book away, and went to lay in Huo Buyu’s arms.
Huo Buyu held her in his arms and touched her face. “What did you see?”
Ye Yao shook her head. “There are many things that I can’t understand. It seems I’ll only be able to understand more upon improving my ability. This
Verbal Virtuosity Technique is actually quite safe. It’s not as scary as you think. At least it won’t harm good people.”
Huo Buyu didn’t see the contents of the book, but Ye Yao had no reason to lie to him. If this Verbal Virtuosity Technique was really as Ye Yao had said, he would be much more at ease. Nevertheless, he reminded Ye Yao, “No matter how the Verbal Virtuosity Technique functions, you have to understand that you’re different from ordinary people now. No matter what you do, you have to keep a low profile. You can’t let anyone discover your ability, understand?” Ye Yao twitched her lips. “You didn’t say anything when I cursed Zhou Chen.”
Huo Buyu was speechless. How was this relevant? Zhou Chen was Ye Yao’s ex-boyfriend, her first love. To Ye Yao, Zhou Chen was different, so how could he not be jealous? How could he not be gleeful seeing her curse Zhou Chen?
Huo Buyu tapped Ye Yao’s nose helplessly. “Quickly go to sleep. I’ll take you to school tomorrow to register. Study hard from now on and don’t cause trouble for me again.”
Ye Yao quickly nodded. “Alright, alright. I’ll make sure I study hard.” Then, she kissed Huo Buyu on the cheek. She was quite happy to be going back to school. She had been sent overseas during the first semester of her freshman year and hadn’t studied since. Huo Buyu had registered her for the freshman classes now, so she could be considered a repeater..
