People are in the magic card, instigating rebellion against the world.

Chapter 168 My true identity is actually the reincarnation of Clow Reed! (Bonus chapter with 1617 million words)
In an instant, the scattered fragments of blue and white porcelain on the ground suddenly trembled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, the fragments seemed to come alive and moved automatically toward each other.

Larger fragments are first positioned and pieced together, while smaller fragments fill the gaps, ensuring even the smallest porcelain shards are precisely placed.

The whole process was extremely smooth. In just over ten seconds, a perfectly intact porcelain vase reappeared in front of everyone, its surface smooth and complete, without even a trace of the previous breakage.

"Ye Hui-kun! You're amazing!" Upon seeing this, Xiao Ying excitedly rushed over and gave Ye Hui a big hug.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +12]

Then, she quickly ran to the vase, carefully picked it up with both hands, and examined it several times.

The bottle is smooth and delicate, with clear and complete patterns, exactly the same as when Dad bought it!
There weren't even any signs of splicing that she had worried about!

Sakura finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "That's great... It really looks exactly the same as before, Dad and my brother definitely won't be able to tell!"

Tomoyo smiled slightly as she watched Sakura's relieved expression.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +6】

"Ye Hui-kun, Zhi-se, thank you so much for today! It was so sudden to call you over!" Sakura put down the vase and announced with a generous air, "To express my gratitude, I've decided! Let's all have dinner at my house tonight! It's my treat!"

Once the crisis was over, the girl immediately regained her usual energy, and even her voice became strong and clear.

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi exchanged a smile, just about to nod in agreement.

"Click."

Suddenly, the sound of a key turning in the lock came from the doorway.

"I am back."

Touya's voice came from the doorway, carrying a hint of languor.

Sakura's body froze instantly.

She glanced at the vase she had put back in its place, and then at the two empty pudding cups she had forgotten in the corner.

Oh no, I forgot to destroy the evidence!

Her brother was still going to find out about her "crimes"!

Touya pushed open the door and walked in. He immediately saw Ye Hui, Tomoyo, and Sakura standing in the living room, as well as Kero on the sofa, who was trying to play dead, lying flat with his limbs outstretched, pretending to be an ordinary plush toy.

His brow furrowed slightly, almost unconsciously.

Why is that brat at his house again?

And she came with Tomoyo.

He'd only been gone a short while, and that brat was already hanging out with Sakura?

He felt that things were definitely not that simple.

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +18】

Ye Hui sensed the intense resentment emanating from Touya and found it amusing.

Touya is always on guard against me.

It's like he's about to kidnap his sister at any moment.

is it possible?

"Good afternoon, Touya-kun. Just got back?" Ye Hui greeted him without changing his expression.

Toya:?
I just got back and I'm still like this?
"Brother, you're back." Sakura's eyes darted around, avoiding Touya's gaze.

"Yes, I'm back." Touya responded, bent down to change his shoes, and looked around as he walked into the living room.

For some reason, he felt that something was off about the living room today.

Upon closer inspection, the furniture was arranged exactly as usual, and the vase was still properly placed on the TV cabinet, but it was hard to pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

"What are you three doing here?" Touya walked over to the sofa and sat down, his gaze sweeping over the three of them before finally settling on Sakura.

Why is this girl suddenly so well-behaved?

suspicious!

"I...we..." Sakura's tongue got tied, but then, in a moment of inspiration, she blurted out, "We...we are studying!"

After saying that, she dared not look Touya in the eye.

study?

Studying in the living room?

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi exchanged a glance, both wanting to facepalm.

Sakura, your talent for lying is as terrible as ever.
Touya clearly didn't believe it either; he raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with suspicion.

Just as I was about to continue questioning him, a faint green light suddenly flashed in the living room.

The green light flashed across the blue-and-white porcelain vase, so fast it was almost an illusion; only Ye Hui and Xiao Ying keenly noticed it.

Ye Hui blinked.

Is it the aura of the Clow Cards?
Could there be undiscovered Clow Cards hidden inside the vase?
Sakura was startled by the sudden green light, and almost blurted out, "I...I just put the vase..."

Fortunately, she bit her tongue in time, swallowing the rest of her sentence.

"What's wrong? Why is your face so pale?" Although Touya didn't see the green light, he noticed Sakura's unusual behavior. He frowned, his tone carrying a hint of worry and a subtle suspicion, "Have you gotten into trouble again?"

"N-nothing!" Sakura quickly waved her hand. "I just... I've been standing for too long, and my legs are a little numb. It's nothing!"

Touya looked at her suspiciously.

He always felt that his silly younger sister was hiding something from him again.

"Really?" he drawled, his gaze sweeping across the living room.

"Of course!" Sakura straightened her back.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, a green light flashed on the vase again.

"Actually, this vase was just..."

“Sakura!” Ye Hui spoke up in time, interrupting her panic.

He quickly walked to Xiaoying's side, and without making a sound, pulled her behind him, separating her from the vase.

It not only blocked Touya's view but also prevented the Clow Cards in the vase from affecting Sakura.

Sakura was probably affected just now. If she tells the truth, she'll be crying later.

He should interrupt.

Even though Sakura is crying, she's still cute~

“Touya-nii, we were indeed discussing winter break homework just now.” Ye Hui calmly took over the conversation. “Sakura still has a few geometry problems she can’t solve in her math homework. She’s been trying to figure them out for a long time but still can’t understand them, so she called me and Tomoyo and asked us to come over and take a look. She was just about to go to the study to get her homework when you came back.”

"Oh? Really?" Touya still didn't quite believe it.

He didn't believe that Sakura would be so proactive in studying; she usually only did her homework on the last day.

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +7】

"Of course." Ye Hui nodded.

He changed the subject, deliberately bringing up Yukito to divert Touya's attention: "Speaking of which, Touya-nii, did you go out just now because Yukito-nii invited you out?"

When Yukito was mentioned, Touya's tone became somewhat unnatural.

He glared at Ye Hui and said irritably, "What's it to you! Kid, don't meddle in other people's business. Go study!"

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +13】

Seeing that things were going well, Ye Hui grabbed Sakura and Tomoyo and prepared to slip away: "Alright, now that Touya-nii, you're back, let's go upstairs and discuss the homework, and try to help Sakura understand the questions she doesn't know as soon as possible~"

"Wait a minute!" Touya suddenly called out to them. He turned around, walked to the cabinet in the entryway, picked up a paper bag with the dessert shop's logo, and handed it to Ye Hui. "This is what Xue asked me to bring you. She said she was grateful for your help on our trip to Hong Kong last time. This is a thank-you gift. Inside are cookies she made herself."

Ye Hui took the paper bag, and could smell a faint buttery aroma wafting from it. He smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, Touya-ge, and please thank Yukito-ge for us too. His cooking skills are so good, the cookies must be delicious~"

Sakura also came over, staring at the paper bag: "Are these cookies made by Yukito? Yay!"

Seeing his sister's greedy expression, Touya shook his head helplessly and didn't ask any more questions about what had just happened: "Alright, go upstairs quickly, or you'll forget to do your homework again."

He turned and went upstairs first.

"Phew...that was close...I almost got caught by my brother..." Sakura breathed a long sigh of relief and patted her chest after Touya's figure disappeared at the top of the stairs.

"It wasn't just 'almost,' you were exposed a long time ago," Ye Hui sighed.

"Huh?" Sakura paused for a moment, blinked, and looked at Ye Hui with a blank expression.

“You were standing there just now, your eyes were darting around, and you were stammering as you spoke. It was as if the words ‘I’m lying’ were written all over your face,” Ye Hui said. “Besides, there are two puddings missing from the refrigerator. Your brother isn’t stupid; he’ll find out sooner or later. Don’t even think about getting away with it.”

Sakura's face instantly scrunched up, like a deflated balloon. She sighed and waved her hand, "Never mind! So what if he found out? At worst, he'll nag me a bit, but that's better than getting scolded by Dad for breaking the vase!"

“That vase from earlier…” Tomoyo, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, “…it seems a little off.”

“Yes, I felt it too.” Ye Hui nodded. “If I’m not mistaken, there should be another Clow Card, and it’s in this vase.”

"Clow Cards?!" Sakura and Kero exclaimed in unison.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +5]

[Kerberos's Mood Value +6]

Ye Hui's gaze fell on the blue and white porcelain vase in the corner of the living room. "Moreover, its magic seems to be able to affect people's emotions, especially making them unconsciously tell the truth. Xiaoying almost told the story of breaking the vase just now because of its influence."

"No wonder I couldn't help but blurt out the truth just now! It was the Clow Cards that were behind it!" Sakura exclaimed in realization, clapping her hands.

"Judging from this, this Clow Card should be related to 'lies' or 'honesty,' and its ability is probably to force others to tell the truth or influence people's judgment." Ye Hui quickly deduced based on the situation just now. "Now that Touya is at home, it's not convenient to take action directly. Let's go to Sakura's room first and discuss a good strategy."

The three people and one beast quietly retreated to Sakura's room.

Sakura's room is decorated with a girly touch, with dolls on her desk, fairy lights hanging by her bed, and a soft carpet on the floor.

The group sat around the carpet, and a strategic meeting about how to deal with the Clow Cards began.

"Ye Hui-jun, do you think that Clow Card is really in the vase?" Sakura asked uncertainly, hugging her favorite bunny pillow.

"Most likely." Ye Hui nodded. "Those two green lights just now were clearly the magical reaction of the Clow Cards, and your unusual reaction also corresponded to its ability. All of this is enough to prove that the other party is hiding inside."

"Then what should we do? We can't just break the vase again, can we?" Sakura said with a pained expression. "If we break it again, even if Ye Huijun can restore it, my brother will definitely become suspicious, and then it will be even harder to explain."

"Idiot Sakura! Can't you think of anything else besides breaking things?" Kero flew onto Sakura's head and tapped her forehead hard with his little paws.

"Ouch! Kero, why did you hit me!" Sakura clutched her head, protesting angrily, and reached out to shove Kero off her head. "I just couldn't think of a solution, you didn't have to hit me!"

"I'm trying to enlighten you! To stop you from always thinking about solving problems with violence!" Xiao Ke retorted confidently, hands on her hips.

"Then tell me what to do! If you had a solution, you would have said it already!" Sakura retorted defiantly, her face saying, "If you're so good, then you do it."

"I...how would I know! I'm just a sealing beast responsible for guiding you. You should come up with the specific battle plan yourself!" Xiao Ke was taken aback by the question and immediately changed the subject, putting on an air of being just a magic consultant.

Sakura: "..."

Looking at Xiao Ke's silly reflection in the mirror, she immediately lost her temper and could only helplessly look at Ye Hui and Zhi Shi.

Seeing Sakura and Kero bickering again, Tomoyo couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly, her voice gentle: "Alright, you two stop arguing. The most important thing now is to figure out the identity and ability of that Clow Card so we can find a way to deal with it. We can't just keep wasting time here."

“Yes, Tomoyo is right. Solving the Clow Card problem is the key right now.” Ye Hui nodded, agreeing with Tomoyo’s statement. He then turned to Xiao Ke and asked, “Xiao Ke, do you remember this Clow Card that can influence people to tell the truth? After all, you are the sealing beast that guards the Clow Cards, so you should know its origin, right?”

"Let me think..." Kero jumped off Sakura's head and landed on the carpet. Like a detective, he touched his chin and tried to search his short memory, which was comparable to that of a goldfish.

After about ten seconds, Xiao Ke's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had finally remembered: "A Clow Card that makes people unable to lie and can distinguish between truth and falsehood... there seems to be one! I remember its power and balance are related to reality!"

"What brand is it? Tell me quickly!" Sakura leaned closer, tightening her grip on the pillow.

"I remember now! It's The Libra!" Little Ke excitedly clapped his little paws. "That's right! It's The Libra!"

"The scales have the magic to detect lies; they're like a miniature balance scale, with one side representing truth and the other representing lies!"

Xiao Ke continued to explain, "In its presence, any lie will be exposed. It can weigh the truth or falsehood of words with a scale, and it can also actively release magic to control people to say their true thoughts! Xiao Ying almost told the truth just now because she was influenced by its magic!" As soon as Xiao Ke said the words "scale," Ye Hui heard a system notification in his mind, and the task log was refreshed.

A traitorous spirit beast from the Immortal Talisman Sect has stolen the sect's most precious treasure—the Scales of Truth! The Scales of Truth possess the immense power to see through all illusions in the world; no lie can hide before them! Drawn by destiny, the traitorous spirit beast has fled with the treasure to the cave dwelling of Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple with a Heavenly Spiritual Root!

[You and the guardian deity Daidoji Tomoyo are invited to Sakura Kinomoto's "cave" to discuss training tips, only to be met by a traitorous spirit beast carrying the Scales of Truth, setting the stage for a crisis!]

[You have refreshed the character side quest – "Rogue Spirit Beast"!]

"This is terrifying!" Sakura hugged her pillow, shrank her shoulders, and looked worried.

If she were to confess to her father and brother that she stole the pudding and broke the vase...

"So how should we deal with it?" Tomoyo asked the most crucial question, looking at Ye Hui and Xiao Ke with a questioning look in her eyes.

With Touya at home now, taking direct action would easily expose us, so we need to come up with a safer approach.

"The scales themselves have no offensive power. Their ability is mainly aimed at lies. They are not inherently evil; they just hate being deceived."

Xiao Ke said, "As long as we find a way to lure it out of the vase and let Sakura seal it with her magic wand, we can solve the problem."

"Lure it out? How do we do that? The vase is perfectly fine now, we can't just take it apart again, can we?" Sakura asked, frowning.

Ye Hui smiled and said, "Based on the personality of the scales, it hates lies the most. As long as we tell it a ridiculous lie to its face, it will definitely be unable to bear being deceived and will take the initiative to run out of the vase to expose our lie. At that time, we can take the opportunity to subdue it."

"A colossal lie? What kind of lie qualifies as a colossal lie?" Sakura tilted her head, pondering with a puzzled look in her eyes.

She rarely lies, let alone a colossal lie.

Yes, that's right, she rarely lies!

"Well, the bigger the better, the more outrageous the better. Ideally, it should be obviously fake, so that it can stimulate the scales to the maximum extent and make them unable to resist coming out to refute it." Ye Hui stroked his chin and began to plan.

"But... what if my brother hears the noise upstairs and comes down to check?" Sakura was still a little worried.

Her brother has always had excellent hearing, so if they make too much noise, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

"Don't worry, I have a plan." Ye Hui patted his chest confidently, having already come up with a solution. "I will use my spiritual power to set up a soundproof barrier around the living room. This will not only block our voices but also prevent the magic of the scales from spreading upstairs and being discovered by Touya."

However, in order to confirm the magical strength of the scales and avoid any accidents during the subsequent capture, Ye Hui decided to conduct a small experiment first.

“Let’s go downstairs first. I’ll try to tell a lie to test the scales’ reaction and see if it will be drawn out.” He said, standing up and walking towards the door.

"Ye Huijun, are you going to lie yourself?" Zhi Shi looked at him with some curiosity.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +7】

[Goddess Daidoji Tomoyo is eagerly anticipating your impending self-destructive act! She's already prepared a photo stone to record the spectacular moment when you're punished by the heavens!]

Lying is lying, but what does it mean to lie personally?
Ye Hui was both amused and exasperated.

The three people and one beast tiptoed back to the living room downstairs. The living room was quiet except for the ticking of the wall clock. Touya did not come down.

Ye Hui first raised his hand to set up a transparent soundproof barrier around the living room. After confirming that everything was in place, he walked to the blue and white porcelain vase, cleared his throat, and prepared to begin his performance.

Sakura and Tomoyo stood not far away, watching him with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

Xiao Ke then flew into the air and found the best viewing spot.

Well, the problem is coming.

What kind of lie should I tell?
It needs to be able to test the power of the scale, but not too outrageous, causing too much noise, and it also needs to easily trigger a reaction from the scale...

Got it!

I've decided on you, you little brat!

This guy has the most dirt on him, and saying the opposite of what he says is absolutely a huge lie!
After thinking it through.

Ye Hui immediately switched expressions, speaking to the vase in a sincere and admiring tone, "The noblest, greatest, and most selfless being I have ever seen in my life is none other than the sealed beast Keroberos! Its existence is simply a model of protecting the world!" Ye Hui actually praised it like that?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ke's eyes lit up instantly. She stopped flapping her wings and proudly puffed out her little chest.

[Kerberos's Mood Value +14]

However, upon hearing this, Tomoyo and Sakura couldn't help but cover their mouths, their shoulders shaking uncontrollably, clearly trying to suppress their laughter.

Sakura knows Kero-chan too well.

Noble? Great? Selfless?

These words have absolutely nothing to do with Xiao Ke, who is gluttonous and lazy!

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +7]

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +6】

Ye Hui, however, remained unfazed and continued his nonsensical ramblings with a straight face: "It not only possesses powerful magic, but also an unparalleled sense of responsibility!"

"To protect the Clow Cards, it has steadfastly remained at its post for decades, never slacking off, and never daring to relax for even a second!"

"What's even more remarkable is that it treats food like dirt, desserts are nothing but fleeting clouds in its eyes, and it will never let its gluttony interfere with its important business!"

"Its sole pursuit is to uphold world peace and justice; it is truly a model for the spirit beast world!"

[Kerberos's Mood Value +15]

Xiao Ke was overjoyed and couldn't wait to applaud.

Sakura blinked.

Do you regard gourmet food as dirt? Are desserts just fleeting moments?

This is so fake!
But now this little guy is actually looking smug, it's just too funny!
"Pfft..." Tomoyo couldn't help but chuckle first. Although the sound wasn't loud, it was like flipping a switch, causing Sakura to completely lose her composure as well.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +12】

"Hahahaha... Ye Huijun... you're so mean... this lie is too outrageous..." Sakura laughed so hard she almost fell over, tears welling up in her eyes, pointing at Kero in mid-air, "Look at Kero... it actually believed it..."

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +13]

When Xiao Ke first heard Ye Hui praise her, she secretly felt a little smug.

Although it knew that Ye Hui always liked to tease it and didn't mean any harm, this kind of straightforward praise was still very comforting, and it couldn't help but flap its wings.

But the more it listened, the more something seemed off.

Do they treat delicious food like dirt? Yet they remain steadfast in their posts without slackening?

These words sound so awkward, completely contrary to my daily life!

original!

That brat isn't praising it at all; he's clearly making fun of it on purpose!

[Kerberos's Mood Value +18]

Xiao Ke was so angry that its teeth itched and its claws were clenched. It was about to fly over and argue with Ye Hui when it saw Ye Hui secretly wink at it.

Oh... so it was all an act for the Clow Cards!
You should have told me earlier!
Xiao Ke suppressed his anger, cleared his throat, and quickly got into the zone.

It deliberately puffed out its round chest, trying to appear profound and mysterious. Accompanying Ye Hui's praise, it said in a deliberately deep tone, "Alas, maintaining world peace and justice is the inescapable responsibility of me, the sealed beast Keruberos. What are mere gluttony compared to the greater good? They are nothing but fleeting clouds!"

After saying that, it even sighed dramatically, raising its little head slightly, as if it had truly sacrificed its personal preferences for the greater good.

Ye Hui almost lost his composure when he saw Xiao Ke's ridiculously exaggerated acting.

[You've gained a completely new understanding of the "strength" of Kinomoto Sakura's spirit beast, Keroberos, from the Heavenly Spirit Root disciple! Its shamelessness and acting skills far exceeded your expectations. You've decided to stay away from it from now on, lest you be infected by its "confidence" or affected by its outrageous behavior!]

Ye Hui was even more speechless.

Looking at the blue and white porcelain vase again, this time it finally reacted. The vase trembled slightly, and a brighter green light flashed across its surface.

But it only shook for a moment before going out again.

"It seems this level of lie isn't enough; we need to come up with something even more outrageous." Ye Hui stroked his chin and began to devise the next earth-shattering lie.

He looked up at the second floor.

Just to be on the safe side, he took out a soundproof talisman from his storage ring and casually stuck it on the wall.

The soundproofing material is activated instantly, forming a more stable soundproof barrier around the living room.

Immediately afterwards, he mobilized his spiritual power and unleashed the Illusory Light Thousand Shadows.

Three blurry figures slowly emerged in the center of the living room; they were illusions of him, Sakura, and Tomoyo.

The illusion held a book in its hand, head down, looking as if it were seriously discussing homework.

"That way, no matter how much commotion we make here, even if Touya comes down, he'll only see an illusion and won't notice anything unusual." Ye Hui clapped his hands.

"Wow, Ye Hui-kun, you're really amazing!" Sakura looked at Ye Hui with admiration.

She's tired of saying "amazing"!

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +8]

Tomoyo also looked around curiously. Although she couldn't sense the existence of the sound barrier, looking at the lifelike illusion in front of her and thinking about how reliable Ye Hui always was, she nodded.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +8】

"What lie should I tell next to force that little guy to come out?" Ye Hui pondered again.

The lie must be shocking and outrageous enough, ideally directly overturning common sense, so that Libra cannot tolerate it and will take the initiative to expose it.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned around, his gaze falling on the blue and white porcelain vase. His expression instantly changed, becoming extremely sorrowful, and even his tone became somewhat hoarse as he slowly spoke.

"Actually... I am not the Ye Hui you know."

"Huh?" Sakura and Tomoyo were both stunned, and they subconsciously looked at each other.

What did Ye Huijun mean by that?
[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +9]

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +10】

Xiao Ke was also dumbfounded.

[Kerberos's Mood Value +8]

Ye Hui continued his performance.

"My true identity is... the reincarnation of Clow Reed!"

"I have come to Tomoeda Town to retrieve the Clow Cards I created and to reclaim the power of magic!"

Ye Hui abruptly changed his tone, becoming cold and arrogant, with an undeniable sense of oppression: "Kinomoto Sakura is nothing more than a temporary magical vessel that I have chosen!"

"Once I retrieve all the Clow Cards and restore all my magic power, I will completely drain the magic power from her body, turning her back into an ordinary girl with nothing special about her!"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Sakura and Tomoyo, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and continued, "And you will all submit to my feet, witnessing the birth of the strongest new generation of magicians—that is, me, the Demon King who will rule the magic world!"

To make the lie more convincing, Ye Hui secretly activated a wisp of supernatural power.

A faint blackish-purple aura emanated from his body, and his eyes instantly became sharp and cold. His original gentle temperament vanished, replaced by a domineering and intimidating aura, as if he were truly the ultimate and invincible villain who controlled the fate of others!

Sakura and Tomoyo's eyes widened instantly, their faces filled with shock.

What did they hear?
Is Ye Huijun... the reincarnation of Clow Reed?
And they want to drain Sakura's magic power?
To make them submit to him?

What an amazing lie!
[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +18]

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +17】

"N-Nani?!" Xiao Ke was also stunned, her beady eyes wide open, and she stammered out the two words.

Is this brat the reincarnation of Clow Reed?

Hahahaha! This is hilarious!

If Kuro were reincarnated as someone like this, it would probably jump out of its grave in anger!
That brat certainly knows how to talk a good game.

Is he the main villain?
It's also a super villain!

Cut~
[Kerberos's Mood Value +22]

Ye Hui watched as the three people and the beast were all petrified.

Smile.

This is exactly the effect he wanted.
The lie about Xiao Ke that just happened was at most an exaggeration, and not enough to provoke Scales.

But now this lie can completely overturn his image in everyone's eyes!

It even involves the fates of Clow Reed and Sakura, which is outrageous to the extreme!
He refused to believe that the scales could remain unmoved.

Ye Hui continued to add to the drama, slowly raising his hand, dark purple light flowing between his fingers, his tone tinged with sarcasm: "What? You don't believe me? Otherwise, why do you think I possess such great power? Why do you think I know the characteristics of the Clow Cards so well?"

He spoke slowly and deliberately: "All of this is because—I am Clow Reed! The strongest magician who has transcended reincarnation and returned to the world! I have regained control of the power of life, and I have discovered that destroying the world seems far more interesting than controlling the rules and creating some ridiculously stupid Clow Cards!"

[You revealed your true colors before the Heavenly Spirit Root disciple Kinomoto Sakura and the Dharma Protector Daidouji Tomoyo! You are a wicked villainous cultivator who attempts to overthrow the world and manipulate people's hearts! However, Kinomoto Sakura and Daidouji Tomoyo were intimidated by your domineering aura, and their Daoist hearts have begun to crack! They may at any moment bow down before your robes and become your most loyal followers! Please persevere! Continue to diligently cultivate your evil arts!]

Sakura and Tomoyo were still frozen in place, unable to recover from this shocking lie.

Is Ye Huijun... the reincarnation of Mr. Kuro?
Although he knew it was impossible, why did Ye Huijun act so naturally?

He spoke as if he truly believed it.

However, despite his usual gentleness, he remained calm when saying things like draining their magic and forcing them to submit, making it seem like he wasn't lying at all.
"Om-"

A piercing buzzing sound suddenly rang out.

The blue and white porcelain vase began to vibrate violently, and the blue and white patterns on the vase seemed to come alive, emitting a dazzling green light that dyed the entire living room an eerie green.

The vibrations grew more and more intense, causing the glasses on the coffee table to hum and the floor to tremble slightly. Even the air was filled with a sense of oppression caused by the surge of magic.

Ye Hui paused for a moment.

I'm hooked.
This colossal lie, seemingly true yet false, finally provoked the scales completely.

Ye Hui blinked as he watched the vase vibrate violently and glow green.

Are you that angry?

However, he did not act immediately. Instead, he looked at Sakura and Tomoyo, who were still in shock, and quickly gave them a wink.

Zhi Shi was the first to react and understand Ye Hui's meaning.

She gently walked over to Sakura, who was still frozen in place, and tugged at her sleeve with her finger. Then she gestured for Sakura to look at the glowing blue and white porcelain vase.

Sakura followed Tomoyo's gaze, and the chaotic thoughts in her mind finally cleared up.

Oh right, they're putting on an act to lure out the scales!

Everything Ye Huijun just said must have been a lie!

And
Because Ye Huijun is lying.

So he not only didn't think about what he had just said, but he also didn't think about whether or not they should submit.

instead.
He must have really wanted to cherish her and Tomoyo.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and then a strange feeling welled up in her heart.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +15]

But there's no time for her to think about it now.

Xiaoying decides to cooperate with Ye Hui and continue the act.

She sniffed, and her eyes instantly became even redder. Two glistening tears clung to her eyelashes, refusing to fall, making her look like she was about to cry.

She raised her head and asked in a trembling voice, choked with sobs, "Ye Huijun...you...is everything you said true? Are you really going to drain my magic and turn me back into an ordinary person?"

Although her acting skills are not as masterful as Ye Hui's, they are more realistic.

That sense of grievance and disbelief didn't seem feigned at all.

Xiao Ke, who was watching from the side, almost believed it and couldn't help but want to fly over and comfort her.

Upon seeing this, Tomoyo immediately raised the camera she was carrying, and steadily pointed the lens at Sakura, recording her "explosive acting" moment in its entirety.

For her, every vivid moment of Sakura is worth treasuring.

Not to mention, she rarely sees Sakura crying like this!
Sakura is so cute, so cute, so cute～～～!

Ye Hui maintained his "villain" stance, his tone icy and devoid of any warmth: "Of course it's true! Kinomoto Sakura, you're nothing more than a tool I use to collect Clow Cards, and a very useful one at that, hehehe!"

"Now that your mission is almost complete, you should be glad you still have some use! Once I regain my full power, you can become an ordinary person again. Shouldn't you be thanking me for that?"

"No... I don't want to! I don't want to turn back into a normal person! I don't want to lose my friends, and the Clow Cards are all my friends too! I don't want to lose my ability to use magic..." Sakura shook her head in anguish.

"That's not up to you." Ye Hui's lips curled into a cold smile. "Of course, don't worry, once you become an ordinary person, I'll show you what true cruelty is!"

"boom!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the blue-and-white porcelain vase suddenly shattered.

The fragments scattered, but were deflected when they touched the barrier set up by Ye Hui, without harming anyone.

A dazzling green light burst forth from the fragment.

A tiny elf dressed in a green gauze dress slowly emerged.

It has transparent wings and holds an exquisite golden scale in its hand.

The two ends of the balance scale are inscribed with the words "true" and "false".

The scales were now shaking violently, clearly enraged by Ye Hui's lies.

It hovered in mid-air, its clear eyes filled with anger as it stared intently at Ye Hui.

Scales: This shameless bastard! His lies are so awful!
It waved the golden scales in its hand.

A beam of green light, imbued with the power of reality, shot towards Ye Hui in an instant.

This is the Libra card's punishment for liars, forcing them to reveal their true feelings and expose all their pretense.

Ye Hui looked at the green light shooting towards him, but instead of dodging, he cooperated by showing a "panicked" expression, as if he was frightened by the sudden attack.

However, the green light seemed to encounter an invisible barrier the moment it touched his body, and it dissipated instantly without causing him any substantial effect.

He had already used his spiritual power to protect himself and isolate himself from the magical influence of the scales.

When the scales saw this, they were clearly stunned for a moment, and their transparent wings stopped flapping.

It clearly sensed that the boy in front of it had just told a shocking lie, so why did the scales of justice fail to work?
Is there something wrong with my abilities?
still is
Its gaze swept back and forth between Ye Hui, Xiao Ying, and Zhi Shi.

Looking at the still-wet tear stains on Xiaoying's face, and then at the fleeting smile in Ye Hui's eyes, he suddenly understood something.

I've been "scammed"!

They were deliberately putting on an act to lure themselves out!

Not right either!
Even so, the scales should still play their role!
Could it be that what the boy said wasn't a lie?!

The scale brand's wings froze in place.

This was the first time it had encountered such a bizarre situation.

It was even more bizarre than the last time it saw Fire Card beat up Eliminate Card. Then, while Kuro was cooking with Fire Card, Eliminate Card secretly erased Fire Card's butt. Fire Card didn't dare to cause any major trouble in Kuro's hands. After the meal was finished, the two cards fought again, and Eliminate Card was beaten up again. It had to return Fire Card's butt by its own hands, and then it was beaten up again.
"Only realizing it now? Isn't it a little too late?"

Ye Hui looked at the still-shocked Scales and greeted them, "Hello, Scales, we've finally managed to get you out here."
