It seems they are waiting for Seele to decide whether or not to speak.

Seele nodded readily:

"know.

Duck is my best friend, my best partner, and the number one informant for the Earthfire Organization.

She's the Iron Guard Commander in the Upper District, and I'm the Fire Chief in the Lower District!

Qi Ye then jumped out from the side. Having recovered, he couldn't help but speak:

"Bronya is the Iron Guard Commander at Kripper Fortress, and you are the Fire Chief in the Lower District."

So you two aren't just on the opposite side on the surface, but actually in cahoots!

I understand now, this is Infernal Affairs!

Bronya is Tony Leung, you're Andy Lau, and the Great Protector is Eric Tsang! Right?

Bronya looked at the pink-haired girl who had gone mad again, and couldn't help but turn to Seele.

A complex expression appeared on his face.

"Xier, is this really your father?"

"It should be!"

Seele nodded somewhat awkwardly.

"But Dad wasn't like this before!"

"This must mean she's going through menopause!"

Qi Ye, however, remained completely unaffected and continued speaking:

Seele, back in the day you didn't even have a whole cookie in the Lower District.

They can actually plant spies in Fort Kripper now?

My good son has really made something of himself!

Seele was a little stunned by these words, but she still straightened her back.

After all, who doesn't want to be a child that makes their father proud!

“My good son, since you are so successful, then your father will not hide it from you anymore.”

In fact, Nanuk, the god of destruction, was also an undercover agent I planted on the side of the star core.

I'll give you his contact information later; you two can coordinate things properly.

Today marks the official debut of my new book!

Chapter 50 As expected of my good eldest son

Just as Qi Ye was getting into the conversation, the scene before his eyes suddenly changed without warning.

His perspective suddenly shifted to a higher vantage point, and when he looked down, he saw his familiar black coat.

Where he had been standing, now stood a pink-haired girl.

She was holding her hands up, looking down at her slender fingers.

The expression on his face went from blank to shocked in an instant.

"They've switched it back?!"

March 7th looked at himself, somewhat bewildered.

"And that's how we got it back."

Seele looked at her father, who suddenly seemed like a completely different person, with utter bewilderment!

Qiye looked down at her hands, opened and clenched them a few times to make sure all the parts were in the right place.

He raised his head, opened his arms to Xi'er, a smile playing on his lips, and strode forward.

"My dear son! Come here, let your old man hold you again! This time it's the real deal!"

Seele stood there, watching the dark-haired man walk towards her.

She was stunned for a while until Qi Ye's arms pulled her firmly into his embrace.

It only dawned on me then, though I had no idea how my father had changed bodies again!

But she could still recognize that the person in front of her was her father.

In the corner, Xing squatted on the ground, drawing dense circles in the dust with a baseball bat, muttering to himself:

"If you don't call me auntie, keep drawing circles. I curse you to open empty treasure chests every time you open one."

March 7th stood to the side, watching Qi Ye and hope Er hug each other, and muttered softly:

"Fine, for the sake of your reunion as father and daughter,"

I won't hold it against you for all the lousy things you did with my body before.

At least now I don't have to worry about taking a bath anymore.

The two embraced for a short while.

"Let's get down to business!"

Xi'er broke free from Qi Ye's embrace and rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand.

He quickly regained some of the demeanor expected of the leader of the Earth Fire.

Just as he was about to speak, Qi Ye waved his hand.

"I think we don't need to talk about this important matter."

He pointed at Seele, then at Bronya, who was standing quietly to the side.

"Bronya was originally sent by Cocolia to appease you."

But she's already yours, so why are you trying to persuade her to surrender?

"If our own people are negotiating with each other, who are we talking to?"

The more he talked, the more he felt that his analysis made perfect sense.

He crossed his arms over his chest, and a smug smile curved his lips.

"Besides, you are my daughter."

My daughter is leading a revolution with hundreds of people in the lower districts. How could I, as her father, not support her?

When Uncle Yang comes back, I'll tell him to invite Cocolia down for tea.

When the time comes, you can be the Great Guardian if you want, or let Duck be the one if you don't.

There won't be any sacrifices, isn't that a steal!

Seele took a deep breath and decided to ignore the rest of the section about dismantling the city walls.

Focus on just one keyword:

"First of all, Dad, can you please stop calling me by my nickname?"

"I don't like the nickname 'Big Brother' anymore, I'm all grown up now!"

"So what should I call you, kid?"

Back then, you were all disheveled and covered in dirt, and I called you "kid," but you didn't mind.

That's because I didn't know my own name back then!

Later, I named myself Xi'er so that people wouldn't call me "boy" anymore.

Seele rolled her eyes, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

Suddenly, Qi Ye changed the subject, leaning forward and lowering his voice, his smile shifting from a shrewd businessman's to a gossipy one:

"Okay, I won't call you by your nickname."

Let's change the subject—tell me, how did you manage to hook up with YaYa?

The Iron Guard Commander, the successor to the Great Guardian, actually willingly became a spy planted by the Fire in Kripper Castle.

"Daughter, your diplomatic skills are far superior to your old man's!"

"What do you mean by flirting!"

Seele said somewhat angrily!

"I won over the ducklings when I was in the orphanage!"

It's based on personal charisma! It's based on faith! It's based on shared ideals!

I was in the orphanage at the time, and I saw Bronya being bullied by a group of older children.

So he casually helped her beat those older kids to the ground.

And then we became friends.

Later, she was adopted by Cocolia and grew up to become the commander of the Iron Guard.

She felt that Cocolia's actions were problematic, so she contacted me.

This is called revolutionary friendship! Not flirting!

Bronya walked over from the side and stood in front of Sumiyo.

He neatly clasped his hands in front of his body, bowed slightly, and said:

"Hello, Uncle. I'm Bronya, Seele's good friend."

I apologize for my poor attitude when we met before, Uncle.

Qi Ye glanced at the bowing Iron Guard commander before him, his lips twitching slightly, before turning to look at Xi'er:

"She wasn't like this when she first met us in the upper district."

She stood ramrod straight then, her face radiating businesslike indifference.

Now he's calling me "uncle" properly, good job making a good friend, he's reliable.

"Of course."

Seele raised her chin, her tone tinged with pride.

"Duck is my best partner."

She was in the upper district, I was in the lower district; with information exchanged between us, nothing could be kept from us.

Bronya nodded, a smile appearing on her face:

"Our cooperation has always been very smooth."

"The tacit understanding was so great that Cocolia had no idea that her successor was communicating with the leader of the Earth Fire every night through encrypted communications."

Qi Ye gave a thumbs up.

"As expected of my daughter, her professional skills, her awareness of confidentiality, and her ability to recruit people are all remarkable."

My dad's quality was about this when he was selling laser pointers.

"What you're doing is cheating and swindling," March 7 muttered quietly from the side.

Qi Ye pretended not to hear and turned to hope Er, about to ask her something else.

Seele suddenly seemed to remember something, her brows furrowed, and she turned to look at Swallow.

The large robot's single red eye was quietly blinking in the shadows, seemingly awaiting her command.

"Oh right, speaking of Natasha, Swallow!"

Is there any new information about Natasha?

Schwarzlo opened his mouth:

"Dr. Natasha is currently treating the wounded at the medical station."
