“Master!” Yi Qing’s chest tightened as he flew to Shen Ying’s side immediately.

Lonemoon was shocked too. “Who are you?” The man had appeared out of nowhere. How could they not have sensed that there was someone else present? Even Shen Ying was shocked.

The man turned to glance at the two of them, his gaze cool. Where he was smiling warmly before, he now looked at the two of them as if they were nothing but dirt beneath his shoe. “You brought two oil tanks here as well.” He grinned as he lowered his gaze. Something shot out of his body and charged toward the two men. “How troublesome!”

Shen Ying narrowed her eyes and moved. She appeared beside Yi Qing and Lonemoon in a flash. before the two of them could react, they felt a defensive shield come up around them. There was a swoosh by their ear. They knew that something terrifying had almost landed on both of them, but Shen Ying had protected them at the last possible moment.

Their expressions changed at once. This was the first time they felt completely defenceless and powerless against someone other than Shen Ying. If Shen Ying had not rushed over to save them earlier, they could have been dead.

They sensed danger like never before. This man... Who was he?

“Master...” Yi Qing’s heart sank. He instinctively moved in front of her.

Before he could ask anything, Shen Ying turned, put her hand on his chest and pushed him back. “Go back!”

Yi Qing was not prepared. One push from Shen Ying caused him to stumble backward and knock into Lonemoon. Both of them fell over. There was a bright flash in front of them as something seemed to open up. It looked extremely familiar. This was... the light from the plane gate!

“Master!”

“Foodie!”

The two of them screamed out in a panic, but they both could not stop themselves from falling through the plane gate. As Shen Ying disappeared behind the gate, they saw her looking extremely strict for the first time.

Then, they were on the ground in the divine realm.

Chef climbed to his feet immediately. He was really panicking now. Raising his hand, he tried to re-open the plane gate. but no matter how hard he tried, he could not cause the plane gate to open again.

Lonemoon tried to help him as well, but to no avail. He turned around to look at Yi Qing, who was almost out of his mind with worry. “It’s no se. Shen Ying must have blocked off the plane passage. Everything is locked. We can’t go back.”

“Master...” Yi Qing was looking worse and worse by the second. He could not get that man – and the attack that he did not even sense – out of his mind. “No way! She’s in danger! We have to go back!”

“Chef, you have to calm down!” Lonemoon pulled him back. “Shen Ying didn’t even tell us before sending us back here. She must have known what he was. She must have known that the situation was not something we would be able to handle. She sent us back here so that we would not be a burden to her.”

Yi Qing let out a long, shaky breath. He was calming back down, but he still looked extremely worried. Yi Qing clenched his fists tightly by his sides. “But Master is a human... If I can’t help her, who can... Elder Jing!” His eyes brightened at once. He turned around to face Lonemoon. “Let’s look for Elder Jing! That man is not simple. He’s not an ordinary manager. Elder will definitely know how to handle this!”

Lonemoon became excited as well. “That’s right! There’s Older Sister Jing as well!” He quickly retrieved his wristband and connected to Shen Jing. The light in his eyes suddenly disappeared as he began to tremble. In a disbelieving tone, he said, “Shen Ying... Even locked our connection to Shen Jing.”

“...”

Their faces drained of all colour. Shen Ying locked the plane passage because they would not be the man’s match. Then there could only be one reason why Shen Ying would block off their connection to Shen Jing as well – even Shen Jing was not the man’s match...

At the Chaos Void.

“That’s a wise choice.” The man kept his eyes on the spot where Lonemoon and Yi Qing both disappeared. Then, he turned to face Shen Ying, a warm smile on his face. “Given your identity, it is not right for you to always be ragging those two oil tanks around. Yet, you bring them wherever you go.”

Shen Ying narrowed her eyes and scanned the man from head to toe. A moment later, she retrieved another fruit from her bag and bit into it. “Are you jealous?”

“What?!” The man paused, as if he had not expected her to ask something like this.

Shen Ying tilted her head and continued, “I’ve seen many single men just like you. I understand!”

“...” What do you understand?! Why are you looking at me so contemptuously?! The man pursed his lips, then let out a long sigh. He shook his head and said, “There’s no point talking about all of these things now.”

“What do you mean by that!” Shen Ying kept her expression straight. “After all, you’re a single, wandering man. You’re different from a group like us, sophisticated tourists. It’s understandable that you would have an inferiority complex!”

“...” Understandable my ass! Why did he feel the sudden urge to rush forward and strangle this woman? Why didn’t he find out that she was like that when he was conducting his research earlier? The man pressed his forehead, trying to keep his cool. “Do you know who I am?”

Shen Ying took another bite of her fruit. A moment later, through gritted teeth, she said, “You’re the man who managed to avoid the monitors’ investigations into the Heavenly Dao Organisation, helped Mu Xiang back to her original plane and allowed this system to invade Chef’s plane.”

“Oh?” The man narrowed his eyes. He looked surprised. “So you knew who I was all along. You are quite smart after all.”

“It’s not that I have good eyesight – you’ve just been too obvious.” Shen Ying glanced at him and added, “I’m not blind.”

“Heh heh heh...” The man did not get worked up. Instead, he continued smiling. “Then do you know why I’m doing all of this?”

Shen Ying studied the fruit in her hand. She turned it so that it would be easier for her to take another bite. Then, she said, “You’re bored out of your mind!”

“...”

The man’s smile faltered. Suddenly, his lips twisted. He no longer bothered about acting kind. His gaze turned cool and he said in a very serious tone, “It’s my test for you. A test to see whether you meet my standards.”

“O,” Shen Ying answered nonchalantly. She looked completely uninterested in whatever this man had to say. Tossing the core of the fruit aside, she looked up at the main system. It was acting half-dead, but she noticed it inching backward every chance that it got. All it wanted to do was to escape. She raised her chin to look at the man. “You want to fight me on its behalf?”

“Mm?” The man stared blankly back at her, then glanced at the system. He shook his head. “Don’t misunderstand me. I have no liking toward this plane’s insects. Of course I’m not going to help it. It’s just that...”

“Oh, that’s alright then!” Shen Ying cut him off mid-sentence. She began to walk toward the trembling main system.

The man: “...” Was she going to deal with him this impatiently?
