SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

From Lin Yan's perspective.

The three of them looked completely naive and speechless with astonishment.

She couldn't help but chuckle softly, a smug look on her face saying, "Dad, Mom, Brother, are you all stunned?"

"After all, she's a sixth-tier Awakened One. I completely understand your expressions. Now, you can be proud of Yan Yan!"

After he finished speaking, the air suddenly became quiet...

Lin Mu, Lin Ye, and Jiang Shuwan remained as if they were waiting for the story to end, without screaming, exclaiming, or even changing their expressions.

"Huh?" Lin Yan's eyes suddenly turned strange. "I know you'll be shocked, but is this really necessary?"

Lin Mu was the first to react, realizing that Yan Yan had already finished speaking. He said calmly, "A sixth-tier awakened one, Yan Yan is truly amazing."

Lin Ye quickly came to his senses and smiled, echoing, "Yes, a full 70 Awakened Ones as Yan Yan's guards, our Yan Yan is really amazing, Dad gives you a thumbs up."

"That's right, Yan Yan is truly the pride of our family, a hundred times better than your brother." Jiang Shuwan looked at her with a smile.

"Huh?" Lin Yan was completely dumbfounded. Why was this reaction so different from what she had expected?

She raised her voice further, emphasizing, "Did you hear that wrong? That's a sixth-tier Awakened One!"

"Dad, Mom, Brother, do you guys not really understand how powerful a sixth-tier character is?"

As soon as they finished speaking, all three of them paused simultaneously, and the air fell silent for a moment once again.

"Holy crap!" Lin Mu suddenly exclaimed, his eyes filled with shock. "My god! I just realized, she's actually a legendary sixth-tier Awakened One!? Yan Yan, you...you're that powerful now?"

"Wow! Wait a minute! Yan Yan, what did you just say? A sixth-tier Awakener!?"

Lin Ye suddenly sat up straight, and the next second he suddenly looked up to the sky and roared: "Heaven has eyes! Our Lin family's ancestral graves are truly emitting auspicious smoke!"

Jiang Shuwan jumped up abruptly, her eyes gleaming with boundless light, her eyes instantly reddening, and her voice trembling with emotion: "Yan Yan! Was what you just said true?"

"This...this is so unreal, Mom. It sounds like a dream."

"You're so accomplished! Mom is so proud of you!"

Lin Yan noticed the expressions on the three people's faces, and a bright, proud smile finally appeared on her lips as she cheerfully said, "Of course it's true! From now on, Yan Yan will take care of you all in this family!"

"It's actually true!?"

Jiang Shuwan's eyes grew increasingly red, and tears of emotion seemed to well up in them, but she couldn't bring herself to cry them out...

Her voice choked with emotion: "Yan Yan... Mommy is so happy..."

Lin Ye watched his wife's performance, his lips twitching slightly. He thought to himself: "My wife's acting skills are amazing. Her eyes can turn red so easily!"

The son, however, was a bit slow to react; he was probably genuinely frightened by Yan Yan's words.

Lin Mu was also drawn to Jiang Shuwan's sudden standing up. He thought to himself: It seems that my parents must have been frightened by what Yan Yan said about the sixth-level awakener.

That's normal, though. In the eyes of ordinary people, a sixth-tier awakened being is already an unattainable ceiling.

"Mom, look how excited you are, please sit down."

Lin Yan got up with a smile and walked to Jiang Shuwan's side, gently helping her back to her seat.

As Jiang Shuwan sat down, she grabbed Lin Yan's wrist and then quickly let go, her voice filled with excitement: "Mom is so excited and touched. Our Yan Yan has become so capable of supporting a family without us even realizing it."

She paused, then suddenly added, "If Yan Yan could bring a boyfriend home, Mom would be even happier."

Lin Mu couldn't help but chuckle: Sure enough, Mom is amazing; she can steer any topic back to this.

"What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Shuwan's expression changed instantly. "Look at your sister, and then look at you. The difference is like heaven and earth."

"You can't even understand the most basic thing about going to school. In the past few months, have you counted how many times the college has called home?"

"I really don't know what you've been doing all day."

She sighed softly again: "Never mind, I never expected you to amount to anything anyway. Just live a good life."

Lin Mu looked up in bewilderment: How come I was fine one second ago, and then I got scolded the next?

Lin Ye silently buried his head and continued eating, trying to hide the smirk playing on his lips.

After Lin Yan sat back down, Lin Mu suddenly asked curiously, "Yan Yan, what's your guard captain's name?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ye and Jiang Shuwan both pricked up their ears with curiosity.

"Brother, his name is Tan Yi!"

Lin Yan's eyes sparkled as she leaned closer and lowered her voice, "And let me tell you, he transferred from Zhen'e Ting to the research and development base. He used to be a Special-Class Zhen'e Envoy!"

"He's a true powerhouse who directly confronts calamity, isn't he impressive?"

Lin Mu paused, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but then relaxed. If it was him, he was reliable.

"By the way, bro, how's it going at the academy?" Lin Yan changed the subject, adding with a smile, "Do you need Yan Yan to lend a hand and help you get into the research and development base after graduation?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu suddenly looked up and said earnestly, "I suddenly remembered that I also have some good news to tell you."

"Hmm?" Lin Ye and Jiang Shuwan looked up at the same time, their eyes filled with scrutiny, and they began to suspect that their son had caused trouble at the academy.

Lin Mu coughed lightly, met his parents' gaze, and said, word by word, "Your son has already graduated from Jiangcheng Academy ahead of schedule."

"Moreover, he was specially recruited by Zhen'eting, and his current status... is that of a member of Zhen'eting."

"You're talking nonsense!"

"Stop daydreaming!"

The couple spoke at the same time, their eyes filled with even more scrutiny.

Lin Yan's eyes flashed with disbelief, because he felt that his brother was not the type to make such a joke.

Lin Mu's face darkened. Although he had anticipated that his parents might not believe him, he hadn't expected their reaction to be so strong.

Lin Ye frowned and looked at him: "Son, do you think we don't know the assessment standards of Zhen'erting?"

"The first requirement is being a fourth-tier Awakened or higher. And that's just the starting condition. Do you understand what a starting condition is?"

"Tell me, what made you get accepted through this special admission program?"

"Does Zhen'e Ting really expect you, a mere zero-level Awakened, to clean their toilets?"

Jiang Shuwan waved her hand, signaling him to shut up, and Lin Ye dejectedly began to remain silent.

She turned to Lin Mu, her voice extremely gentle: "Son, you don't have that much ability, Mom doesn't blame you."

"As long as you and Yan Yan are happy, that's all that matters. But lying isn't something a good child should do, you know?"

"You don't need to use these unfounded words to make us happy. Mom knows you were upset by Yan Yan and you feel a lot of disappointment. Mom understands."

"But you can't do that again, okay?"
