Seeing that Chi Xia didn't answer for a long time, Chen's mother seemed to have forgotten that she had been exposed for lying in front of others. She frowned and said to her, "What's wrong with saying it? Are you afraid that others will laugh at you?"
Chi Xia frowned; she was becoming increasingly impatient with the three members of the Ye family.
After considering the characteristics of psychic abilities, she replied conservatively and modestly, "Only one level higher than you."
"Oh." Zhang Xin gave a meaningful "oh," then suddenly asked, "So... beautiful lady, what level do you think I am now?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Xia's first reaction was...
Wow!
This woman is really good at setting traps!
It's important to understand that while psychic abilities can probe other people's thoughts, they have a fatal weakness: they can only read and control those of lower levels than the psychic. The lower the level, the more information can be read and the more accurate it is, and the stronger the control over them becomes, making it harder to go unnoticed.
However, this does not mean that it is completely ineffective against higher-level ability users. It just means that the higher the level, the less likely it is to be detected. In fact, at levels 2 and above, higher-level users are completely unaware of it, while mental ability users will suffer a backlash.
When she uses her powers on people who are two or less below her level, they will at most feel a momentary daze, and that feeling will be fleeting.
However, for people of similar social class, they will be immediately detected, and they can sense that the superhuman invading their thoughts is probably at some level.
In any world, invading someone else's thoughts is extremely dangerous for the person being invaded. Therefore, psychic individuals will not act rashly unless they are certain that the other person's level is lower than their own.
But Zhang Xin in front of her didn't play by the rules at all; she started probing her right away.
Chi Xia is now in a bit of a dilemma. She has already made the statement that she is only one level higher than Zhang Xin, but Zhang Xin just used his special ability to check her and she didn't feel anything at all.
How should she answer now?
Chi Xia looked at Zhang Xin, and Zhang Xin looked at Chi Xia. The two stared at each other, neither of them saying a word.
Ye Wenbai, who was watching the drama unfold, didn't mind the excitement. Although he couldn't understand the meaning of Zhang Xin and Chi Xia's conversation, judging from Chi Xia's reaction, there was definitely something fishy going on.
Anything that could make Chi Xia lose face was something that would make him happy, so he said from the side, "Why don't you say something? Can't you see that the beautiful woman is waiting for your answer? Have all the lessons the Ye family taught you over the past ten years been eaten by dogs? Or is it that once you left the Ye family, your manners have followed your shameless mother?"
All along the way, he kept calling her "your shameless mother," and Chi Xia felt that if she kept holding back, she would be a thousand-year-old turtle, a complete spitting out of her essence!
Her gaze swept over the three members of the Ye family, and she suddenly smiled, "Aren't you all curious about my ability level? How about I show you?"
Chen's mother had no suspicions and assumed that Chi Xia had given in as she had many times before. She raised her head arrogantly and said, "So what if you want to take a look? What's so great about it?"
Chi Xia nodded and looked at the Ye siblings: "What about you two? Do you want to see?"
Ye Wenbo shrugged: "Since you want to show off, then we'll reluctantly take a look."
"Okay then." Chi Xia smiled, took a few steps back and put Mengmeng on the ground.
She glanced at Zhang Xin, who was standing to the side, and was about to speak when she saw Zhang Xin, in high heels, run up behind her in a flash, and even take two steps back.
Chi Xia withdrew her gaze from her and looked at the three members of the Ye family with a cold smile: "Then you'd better watch carefully."
