Fang Che’s conscience naturally doesn’t hurt.

Every time he beats someone up, he feels particularly at ease, especially when he beats up his cousin Fang Qingyun. That’s when he feels exceptionally relieved.

For some reason, as soon as he sees that honest and sincere face, he feels that if he doesn’t beat him up, he’s letting himself down.

"This must be the resentment left by my previous life."

Fang Che feels he’s not that kind of person.

But whether he is or isn’t, it doesn’t matter anymore.

"Even if I am, so what!"

Feeling extremely pleased, Mr. Fang arrived at the Worldwide Escort Agency and first went to the backyard for a look. Oh, there were twenty more people on the punishment posts, receiving Tian’s Itchy Pit.

"What’s going on here? Hasn’t the escort mission already started?"

"Chief, these guys went out and encountered bandits. They even raided the bandits’ lair. Raiding it is fine, but they wanted to pocket all the loot!"

Zhao Wubai, watching the punishment from the sidelines, immediately tattled.

"Damn it!"

The Starlight Master was furious.

"Don’t you understand that all confiscations should be handed over? Greedy fools!"

"Has the Escort Agency ever deprived you of food or drink?"

"Violation of the Escort Agency’s rules, double the punishment!"

Thus, screams once again filled the air.

Suddenly, his ears twitched, and he frowned: "Who’s crying?"

There was actually a sobbing sound.

Zhao Wubai sighed and, seeing the Starlight Master’s expression, whispered: "It’s probably Meimei. I’ve heard that a return order for more than a hundred people has come down, including Meimei and Lianlian."

"Has the order already come down? Why didn’t I know about it?"

"It just arrived today."

Zhao Wubai mustered up the courage and said: "Leader, since the order came down, Meimei has been crying the entire time. Could you... could you go and see her?"

The Starlight Master let out a long sigh.

He hesitated for a while, then lightly said, "Should I go see her and let her cry even longer after she goes back?"

"At least later in life, there won’t be as much regret."

Zhao Wubai said softly.

The Starlight Master hesitated.

At this moment, Wu Lianlian hurriedly arrived, shouting from afar, "Chief! You finally came!"

Zhao Wubai coughed, seeing the Starlight Master getting caught, and immediately felt relieved.

He knew he had the task of ’stall the Leader if he comes,’ a task almost collectively given to him, and failing it would probably mean a difficult time.

Now, it was completed.

So, he retreated to concentrate fully on training the newcomers.

"Chief, Meimei is crying. Please go see her." Wu Lianlian, feeling anxious, pulled on the sleeve of the Starlight Master to lead him away.

"Don’t be hasty."

The Starlight Master touched his nose and said with a bitter smile, "I need to understand what kind of return orders you received."

"We’re to depart from here within five days and rush to the Fire Phoenix Mountain Pass, where someone will meet us."

"How far is the journey?"

"Thirty thousand two hundred miles."

"Not close at all."

The Starlight Master frowned and said, "Is there no one to escort you on this journey? What about the family experts?"

"None; and this return journey allows no assistance, it’s part of the training rules. We have to find a way back ourselves!"

"I see."

The Starlight Master looked at the expanse of sky, his eyes somewhat heavy.

This journey won’t be peaceful.

"How many people received the return notice?"

"One hundred and fifty people; basically, all the girls received the notice, plus seventy-eight guys. This is said to be the first batch."

As they talked, they walked towards Zhou Mei’er’s room.

Over there, quite a few young girls were peeking around. As soon as they saw the Leader coming, they rushed to report back.

"You girls are pretty united now."

The Starlight Master smiled, "Not bad."

"After we return, we’ll be even more united."

Wu Lianlian’s expression was also somewhat gloomy.

"Going back is a good thing; at least it’s safer than this place."

The Starlight Master casually consoled.

They reached the door.

Dozens of girls crowded around the door, their eyes shining as they looked at the Leader, and they all automatically made way.

Clearly, Zhou Mei’er was inside.

Wu Lianlian stopped at the door, clearly having no intention of going in with the rest of the girls.

They wanted to leave Zhou Mei’er some personal space.

But this was what the Starlight Master feared the most. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Come in together. I have some things to say to you all."

He said.

"Please talk to Meimei first. We’ll wait outside and discuss later."

Wu Lianlian didn’t listen, instead stepping back further.

The Starlight Master coughed and said, "Alright then."

He pushed the door open and went in.

Zhou Mei’er was sitting in front of the dressing table, evidently well-groomed. Her eyes were slightly swollen, but when she saw the Starlight Master enter, she still stood up to greet, "Greetings, Leader."

"No need for formalities."

The Starlight Master chuckled and said, "This time when you return, you’ll be the backbone of each respective family, and you’re all young ladies. In the future, when I see you, I’ll have to greet you as ’Miss.’

Zhou Mei’er smiled, "But you’ll always be our Starlight Master."

"Don’t speak so formally. When you think back on the days here after returning, don’t blame me for mistreatment and hold a grudge against me every day. Then I’ll be satisfied."

The Starlight Master laughed heartily.

But Zhou Mei’er didn’t laugh. Instead, she looked at him passionately and boldly, never taking her eyes off him.

Not even blinking.

As if trying to engrave this face into her mind, into her heart.

Her blazing gaze made the Starlight Master a bit uneasy.

He couldn’t help but squirm: "What are you looking at?"

"Looking at you." Zhou Mei’er smiled wistfully, "This time when we go back, it should be a long time before we see the Leader again."
