Chapter 495: Chapter 130: Should I Call You Starlight or Yemo? [Ten Thousand Words]

The Starlight Master laughed heartily: "Boss Feng, you truly are a straightforward person. And these few gentlemen, at a glance, are dragons and phoenixes among men, wealthy and imposing. May I ask your names...?"

Zheng Yunqi and the others didn’t dare to take a deep breath.

They merely listened quietly, anxious for the Leader.

Just now Young Master Xing threw out three titles, which was a test.

He mentioned "Young Master Xing" as the last name, indicating he wanted the Leader to call him that.

But the Leader did not.

Instead, he chose the courteous yet distant title of "Boss Feng."

And immediately afterward, he inquired about the other five people.

This was somewhat disrespectful.

The five were puzzled; the Starlight Master usually seemed much smarter than us. From the fact that we knelt to Young Master Xing today and our attitude, he should understand.

Why is he acting so unusual today?

Young Master Xing, however, wasn’t angry. He gave the Starlight Master a meaningful look and said, "These are my five shopkeepers."

He smiled faintly and said, "They are the ones you’ve been waiting for."

As soon as these words came out, not only Zheng Yunqi and the others but even the Starlight Master were stunned.

We knew what you were up to, but is it really okay to state it so plainly?

Then Young Master Xing said to Zheng Yunqi and the others, "The undercover investigation is complete. Next is the assessment of you people. You five take them down, report what needs to be reported, and fill out each person’s dossier. Call everyone contained within the Escort Agency."

"Focus on what Escort Agency tasks were issued, usual performance, what you’ve learned, etc... they’ll ask you in a bit. Go on."

Zheng Yunqi and the others were overjoyed.

"Thank you, Young Master Xing!"

This was unimaginable elation.

Young Master Xing’s words clarified everything: the sub branch has passed. Next is your individual future.

Then report well, as you report, it will be recorded accordingly.

That means it’s based entirely on what we say.

This is like giving everyone a bright path.

How could everyone not be overjoyed?

After thanking profusely, they took the five people out.

Zhou Mei’er lingered at the end, secretly giving the Starlight Master a wink.

Only then did she reluctantly follow them out, looking back every few steps.

Young Master Xing smiled faintly and said, "The Chief Escort certainly has good social connections."

He paced leisurely, yet naturally exuded an air of tranquil elegance and carefree charm; a sort of unhurried grace.

"It’s all thanks to the sincerity of the brothers." The Starlight Master modestly said, noting that Young Master Xing’s complexion was very pale, almost bloodless, but did not make one feel weak or ill, instead emanating a jade-like glow.

Long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips, a face like polished jade, hair like silk; tall and jade-like in stance, with a graceful demeanor.

"Chief Escort, this Escort Agency has required much effort, hasn’t it?" Young Master Xing paused before the throne, looking at the large characters above it: "Light of Righteous, World Model."

"It’s doing alright, relying on the favor of fellows in the Jianghu, everyone giving face, which allows the Escort Agency to continue." The Starlight Master said properly.

Young Master Xing chuckled and shook his head, pointed at the large characters "Light of Righteous, World Model," sighed, and said, "These eight words bear so much blood upon them."

The Starlight Master said calmly, "In the Jianghu, paths are paved with blood. Blood has to be shed by someone, and if it’s worth it, then it’s worth it."

"Such a ’worth it’ is truly well put."

Young Master Xing clapped, his handsome face full of admiration: "This statement is excellent. For a great undertaking, occasionally shedding some blood is not a big deal."

He said, "Chief Escort, would you accompany me to tour the Escort Agency? Let me broaden my horizons as well."

The Starlight Master said: "Alright. Please follow me."

As they toured, Young Master Xing stood for a long time observing various facilities, rooms, and the big willow tree in front of the Martial Arts Arena, known as the Eighteen Layers of Hell.

Then he looked at the separated dormitories for men and women, a faint smile on his face, praised, "This is well done."

The Starlight Master laughed heartily: "The fear is these folks will cause trouble here, and if some girl returns home with a big belly, well... hahaha..."

Young Master Xing also laughed heartily and said, "Regarding this, I will emphasize it after returning. After all, there are many girls here engaged to others."

He smiled and said, "Like Zhou Mei’er."

This statement clearly had implications.

Earlier in the hall, Zhou Mei’er’s expression truly spoke volumes.

"Yes, yes, Zhou Mei’er is indeed quite good, very capable, certainly she will marry into a big family."

The Starlight Master laughed it off, pretending not to understand, and let it slide.

Arriving at the Martial Arts Arena in the back, the entire area was empty, as the little Demons had all gone to the front to line up for registration.

Young Master Xing walked with his hands behind his back, smiling faintly.

In this empty space with only two people, he lowered his voice and said, "Xing Mang..."

"I am here."

With only two people, Young Master Xing began addressing the Starlight Master by name.

This wasn’t a conversation between a Chief Escort and a client but between a Headquarters envoy and the Starlight Master, a distinction the Starlight Master was highly sensitive to.

He immediately referred to himself as a subordinate.

Seeing his quick reaction, Young Master Xing smiled, with a meaningful smile, saying, "But, I’m a bit unclear, should I call you Xing Mang?..."

He smiled, turned his head, side-glancing, his eyes suddenly as piercing as sunlight, fixed on the Starlight Master’s eyes, gently saying, "...or should I call you Yemo?"
