Wu Lianlian and the others quietly sighed at this scene.

However, they all knew that Zhou Meier was cherishing this last bit of time together, for once they left here, they might never have the chance to see the Leader again in this lifetime.

They all remained silent.

The Golden Flowers exchanged glances, recalling Wu Lianlian’s warning: "Once we return, no one is to speak of Meier’s matter, otherwise, don’t blame us for disregarding sisterly bonds."

An hour later, the examination was over.

The exam papers were collected.

One hundred and sixty people anxiously awaited as Wu Lianlian and the others began grading the papers.

Finally, the Starlight Master awoke.

His eyes gleamed coldly as he looked at the one hundred and sixty people below, noticing that they surprisingly didn’t look very anxious, evidently having strong confidence in the examination.

These fellows had truly been brutally trained. In these few days, they endured sleeplessness and restlessness, each one deeply cultivated, capable of withstanding the torment!

Amazingly, they memorized more than half of the Law Codes!

Since Zheng Yunqi set the questions, there was room for leniency: because the examination scope was designated by Zheng Yunqi and others.

It must be said, Hou Fang was skilled in picking people, not a single one of them was illiterate.

Moreover, each one had surprisingly beautiful handwriting; under the threat of swords, spears, and staves, these depraved demons became nearly calligraphy experts.

Finally, the results came out.

The lowest score was ninety-two.

One hundred and sixty people collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when the Leader took the exam papers, he flipped through them and picked out over twenty sheets: "These writings are too sloppy, drag them out, a hundred lashes, and a hundred rods for each!"

"At your command!"

Zheng Yunqi stepped forward to collect the papers, immediately calling names, quickly dragging twenty-four people out for immediate punishment!

"These one hundred and sixty people have passed, they can proceed on the road for escort duties. Teach them well!"

The Starlight Master coldly said: "Anyone who violates the discipline, kill them without mercy."

"As for those who are tied up, I won’t look at them, give them the same five days, inspect after five days. Those who fail, all die, no other option."

"Yes!"

The Starlight Master left. He felt that by this point, the situation with the Worldwide Escort Agency had temporarily stabilized, with no further worries required.

Since it’s stable here, he could focus entirely over there; no need to come over for a few days.

Now, his mind was entirely set on the Dream Demon. This villain, heinous beyond redemption, must be found and exterminated!

Watching the Starlight Master leave, Zhou Meier lowered her head and gathered the fruit platter and the peeled grape skins, silently returning to her room.

On the training ground, the cries began again, but compared to before the Leader came, the cries at this moment contained less grievance and more acceptance.

For my own good!

I understand.

More than one hundred fellows, because of their fierce appearances, were subjected to Zheng Yunqi’s and Zhao Wushang’s imitation of the Starlight Master’s surgical methods, for brutal makeovers.

One of them, with large buckteeth, nicknamed ’Lang Ya’, lost even his nickname.

Those with protruding teeth lost all their front teeth: "Take medicine, regrow them!"

If they could be reforged and regrown, judging by Zheng Yunqi and the others’ stance, they would absolutely throw these guys back for regrowth!

Those demons with ordinary or slightly handsome looks couldn’t help but kneel and thank Heaven, grateful to their parents.

Never had they thought that good looks would have such an enormous advantage...

Wu Lianlian quietly entered Zhou Meier’s room, only to find Zhou Meier silently eating grape skins with a face full of happiness.

They were the grape skins she peeled herself while feeding the Starlight Master.

The perfectly whole grapes beside were untouched.

It seemed that eating these grape skins allowed her to reunite with the consumed grape flesh, forever inseparable.

Wu Lianlian felt a pang in her heart, almost shedding tears.

Quietly, she retreated.

...

Fang Che had rearranged the Escort Agency.

Walking outside in the night breeze, he felt the refreshing cool, faintly able to sense numerous ordinary souls in the air lamenting, accusing, cursing, questioning.

Dream Demon!

Noon.

Guardian Headquarters.

Dongfang Sansan was frowning, thinking of a solution.

The Dream Demon, this specific demon.

What method could be used to deal with him?

No one had ever seen the Dream Demon’s appearance, nor knew his whereabouts, yet his unique Nightmare Soul hung like a sharp sword over the heads of the continent’s people.

For thousands of years, the Dream Demon used this unique method to continuously create tragedies, leaving everyone helpless.

Three thousand years ago, Dongfang Sansan spread the word, claiming to be mentally exhausted, suffering from insomnia and troubled dreams, unable to rest.

Thus, the entire continent searched for Heavenly Treasures of this nature for Dongfang Sansan.

Unaware of the situation, Xue Fuxiao even united some people to rob the Wei Wo Zheng Sect.

This situation lasted five years, and occasionally when Dongfang Sansan appeared, he couldn’t conceal his weariness and fatigue.

The Dream Demon observed for five years, thinking he had a chance, and after consulting with Yan Nan, infiltrated the continent, hoping to plot against this Guardian Think Tank.

Ultimately, he was trapped by Dongfang Sansan for three thousand years.

But now, with the Dream Demon reappearing three thousand years later, what should be done? Using the same method again seemed ineffective.

He originally planned to issue a command to start dealing with the Yixin Sect, but with the matter of the Dream Demon, Yixin Sect instead became secondary.
