That night, Mo Chengyu was adjusting the paraters for Mo Si’s face.
This wasn’t plastic surgery, of course.
Mo Chengyu could use her own face without any reservations because she was a classified Federation agent who had never appeared in the lilight. Her identity was a secret.
Mo Si, however, was the Imperial Blade. He had given countless interviews, and photos of him were all over the Star Network.
He had to stay here for three months, and since Mo Chengyu didn’t want to cut themselves off from their neighbor, Mo Si had no choice but to use a simulation face.
"If you were concerned about your safety, you wouldn’t have let a stranger move in here."
"...It was an accident." Mo Chengyu was still debugging the data. "It was a fateful encounter, you know."
"Fateful encounter?" Mo Si repeated the two words. "The kind of fateful encounter that stems from a botched plan due to an operational error?"
"I don’t want to talk to you anymore!"
"I was going to tell you a secret! But now I’m not telling you!"
"Good." Mo Si grunted in agreent. "I’d also prefer you to remain silent."
!
The tough girl stomped her foot.
"Hmph! If you’re going to be like that, I’m not adjusting it anymore! You can just keep that face!"
With that, Mo Chengyu scampered out of Mo Si’s room, muttering all the way.
The man was left alone. He got up, walked over to the mirror, and a familiar yet strange face appeared before him. It was unmistakably—
a younger version of Mo Si.
He looked like he did back when he was sixteen. His features hadn’t fully matured, possessing both a boyish softness and a sharp edge. That rascal Mo Chengyu, with her wicked sense of humor, had intentionally made his eyes a little rounder.
Now, the boyish sharpness was completely gone, leaving only—a milk-fed innocence.
’...’ Mo Si thought.
"Mo Chengyu, co down."
"No no no no no! I’m not coming down!"
"Co down."
"No! Your tone is terrifying! I’ll die if I go down there!"
"Then I’m coming up."
"Ahhh, fine! Never mind, I’ll co down."
In the end, Mo Chengyu caved. But after coming down and fiddling with it for a while, she discovered, "This simulation face can only be configured once. To change it, we’d have to get a new one... Brother, if you really don’t like it, I can go to the warehouse and get another one?"
"Forget it." ’It’s just a face.’
’No matter how strange it is, it’s only for three months.’
"Don’t do this again. My patience has its limits."
"Limits? What kind of limits?"
"The kind where if you stay here for two more seconds, I won’t be able to stop myself from recalling things that happened on the battlefield."
"..."
’Doesn’t that just an he wants to hit ?’
Knowing she was in the wrong, Mo Chengyu quickly slipped out.
She left in such a hurry that she forgot to ntion her discovery of the new Spirit Healing Master.
anwhile, as Mo Si sat quietly on the downstairs balcony with his younger-looking face, he thought he slled a familiar scent.
It was coming from the living room. That scent—
was exceptionally familiar.

「The next day.」
Jiang Qiuqiu brought ho the ingredients she needed for dinner from Taotao Fresh and did a little prep work. She had originally planned to bring so tasty food next door, but rembering that Mo Chengyu was still recuperating, she decided against it and simply jogged over to the neighboring villa empty-handed.
At that mont, Mo Si was performing spiritual guidance for Mo Chengyu.
"Brother, you don’t have to release so much spiritual power at once—" Mo Chengyu might have seed to have her little gripes with Mo Si on a normal day, but she was actually very concerned about her brother. "Even if you have plenty of spiritual power, releasing too much at once can easily cause injury."
"So you do know that spiritual power is fragile." Mo Si pressed a finger to Mo Chengyu’s forehead. "Don’t worry. I won’t get hurt."
His SSS Level spiritual power truly lived up to its reputation. Even when performing a dangerous, short-burst release, Mo Si’s condition remained perfectly stable.
Soon, the spiritual guidance was complete.
Mo Chengyu imdiately felt much better.
"Thank you, Brother!"
Just as she said that, the doorbell rang again.
At this ti of day, there was only one person who would ring the doorbell—
