After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Upon returning to Shi Wei's home, Shi Yan saw Shi Wei and Shi Hongqi kneeling in front of the low coffee table, lightly tapping on some files.

"Are you back?"

The girl's eyes seemed to shine.

"Sister Shiyan left too early today...otherwise, we should have been able to see those black horses."

"But it's alright—"

“My sister Hongqi and I obtained the information of those contestants from the clan chief.”

"I believe that as long as Sister Shiyan pays a little attention to these few people, everything will be fine."

"These are all candidates who could potentially advance directly from the primary selection."

"Hey..." Shi Wei suddenly seemed to notice something was wrong with Shi Yan's eyes. She took a piece of paper and gently shook it at Shi Yan.

Shi Yan's gaze was completely fixed on that piece of paper.

In the upper right corner of the page, the girl's smile was resolute, her gaze seemingly piercing through the page.

Name: Ming Zhongqing

Gender: Female

[Cultivation Level: Nascent Soul Realm... Ninth Rank]

【…】

My own mouth... has it been blessed?

After learning that Ming Zhongqing had also come to Jizhou City, Mingming should have gone to meet the girl first.

But... Shi Yan doesn't want the three families' Shameful Field to directly advance to four families.

Actually, it wouldn't be a problem if only Ming Zhongqing came.

But... the key to the problem lies in—

Shi Yan was afraid that Ming Zhongqing would bring Xia Xia along as well.

It shouldn't be...it shouldn't be...

The master said he dared not gamble.

Because of this incident, she hasn't even dared to go to the preliminary rounds of the "Enlightenment Conference" these past two days.

She was afraid that Xia Xia, who was cheering for Ming Zhongqing, would catch her red-handed.

Strange... why was he arrested?

I haven't done anything strange... probably...

It's just that, by accident, Xiaxia might bring back a few new older sisters or something.

"This is your sister Xing Qiyun, this is your sister Xing Qiluo, this is your sister Xing Jiu, this is your sister Xing Qiyan..."

Just one flush would probably be enough to make Xiaxia pounce on you and bite your shoulder.

Although I had mentioned it to Xiaxia... for some unspeakable reasons, there are many girls in this world for whom I have to take responsibility.

Just like... the "light makeup and subtle ending" between Xiaxia and herself.

Isn't that exactly how it is?

A girl who has earned your maximum favorability rating is essentially carrying the burden of a "lightly made-up and casually dressed" image relative to yourself.

I've been waiting... waiting for my own appearance.

Xiaxia felt wronged, but... from the day her older sister stepped out of Nanjun City, the girl had already expected it.

Shi Yan just looked at the ring on her hand.

Damn it, a feeling of guilt suddenly welled up inside me.

These past two days, she hasn't dared to go to the preliminary rounds of the "Enlightenment Tournament".

The only option was to probe indirectly... using his connections with "Starry Sky Bureau" and "Heaven and Earth" to find out if Ming Zhongqing had come alone or brought Xia Xia with him.

"hateful..."

Shi Yan looked at Ming Zhongqing's bangs, which were clearly styled deliberately, on the page.

Next time, I'll lock her in a dark room with mirrors on all four sides, and then shine a crystal on her head to vent my anger.

However... we must suppress the impending terrifying scene before going to find Ming Zhongqing.

Four days later, time flew by.

Shi Yan had specifically gone to the Kyushu Bus Terminal to inquire about it.

Zhuan Ji from the "Azure Lotus Sword Sect" will likely arrive around 10:00 AM.

The exclusive time for the "Love Sea Demon Sect" is 2 PM.

During this time, he had about two hours to appease Qin Suhuai and the possibly appearing Sheng Nu, and he could also take the girls out for a meal.

Then... I had to rush to Kyushu Bus Terminal again.

Go pick up Wen Ruya.

Actually, I could wait for "Heaven and Earth" to settle them down before defeating them one by one.

But... knowing that the girl who was "devoted to him until death" was coming, he actually let someone else receive her.

This is not something Shi Yan could do.

what?

You mean Xiaxia.

Xiaxia, I'm sorry.

what?

You explained to Zhongqing.

How can the victims of persecution be the same?

Furthermore...delay can lead to unforeseen consequences.

How could a teacher relinquish control to someone else?

Putting everything else aside, the relationship between the "Love Sea Demon Sect" and the "Taiyi Sect" is anything but ordinary.

What if Lady Wenwan goes to reminisce with Lord Dongjun and accidentally reveals something?

Shi Yan could almost see Aya's radiant smile.

Next comes the most crucial thing—

Zhuan Ji of the Taiyi Sect arrived in Jizhou City around 3 PM.

Only half an hour had passed since the "Love Sea Demon Sect" arrived.

It's almost impossible to completely appease Wen Ruya in such a short time, after all, Aya isn't Xiaxia.

Energy bars are pitifully short.

but--

I don't necessarily have to appease Aya.

I could have used Lord Dongjun's sacrifice to take Lady Wenwan and Aya away first, and then used the Wind Body Technique to rush back to the Kyushu Passenger Transport Center.

At this point... all I need to do is calm Donghuang Li down.

Donghuang Li was, after all, the kind of woman who, even when a completely unfamiliar version of herself entered Yuquan, could remain calm and composed, casually hanging her clothes on a jade branch as if she were a banished immortal.

As long as you can withstand Donghuang Li's 'husband' attack during their first meeting.

The danger associated with oneself can probably be reduced from where miniskirts usually stay to where over-the-knee socks usually stay.

That's strange... there's something odd about that way of putting it.

Anyway-

Today was absolutely a hellish day.

The teacher said he had drunk water beforehand and made thorough preparations.

She was already standing at the "Kyushu Passenger Transport Center".

Surrounding her were girls who were even more nervous than Shi Yan, dressed in the iconic black dresses of "Huang Tian Hou Tu" (Heaven and Earth) to pick up Ji.

They looked at the 'Great Demon King' in the center of the crowd with trepidation.

I don't know why this person suddenly came to pick up Ji today.

Shi Yan looked up at the clear blue sky.

"very good--"

"We've perfectly avoided Ming Zhongqing and Xia Xia, who might suddenly appear. Next... we just need to take the people from the 'Azure Lotus Sword Sect' to their lodgings and then appease Sister Qin."

Take a deep breath, suppressing the tension in your heart.

Don't say—

It was quite exciting.

It gives you the illusion of being in an abnormal PIAY.

This time, however... I'm the one who got pissed off.

Should we call it karma or retribution?

When the time came... Shi Yan could already sense a green bird flying over from the distant sky.

If nothing unexpected happens, she should be Zhuan Ji, who is specifically there to pick up and drop off the disciples of the "Azure Lotus Sword Sect".

I wonder if Sheng Nu and Sheng Yan will come, besides Senior Sister Qin.

Of course... the teacher's words were not a sign of hunger.

She was simply contemplating how difficult this hellish journey of hers would be.

Shi Yan watched as familiar figures descended one by one from Fei Ji's back.
