Monarch Night

"Begin the exam!"

The Starlight Master entered with a stern face, exuding an aura of coldness, seeming as if there was a volcano hidden within him today.

That feeling of an imminent explosion made Zhao Wushang and the others all extremely nervous, paying the utmost attention.

And they quickly signaled the thirty-six newcomers.

Be careful today!

The master's mood is not good!

If you get caught being careless!

You'll be beaten until you're breathless!

Absolutely do not act recklessly!

Otherwise, everyone's definitely finished.

Wu Lianlian and Zhou Mei'er considerately brought out the master's throne and gently placed it at the high entrance.

"Master, your chair is here; please have a seat."

The Starlight Master glanced over, snorted, and sat down heavily.

Without a word, he stretched out a hand to the side.

Immediately.

Zhao Wushang quickly stepped forward and placed a law code in the master's hand.

The Starlight Master rolled his eyes fiercely and grabbed the law code from him.

Apparently, he couldn't find a reason to vent his anger!

A bit frustrated.

Zhao Wushang fawningly smiled, nodding and bowing before stepping back and standing upright.

Next.

The Starlight Master flipped through the law code, just about to lash out, but found he had already flipped a third of it. Zhao Wushang even took care of such minor details!

He snapped the book shut.

Looking at Zhao Wushang with frustration.

Zhao Wushang stared straight ahead.

Everyone felt grateful in their hearts.

Boss Zhao, you've done an excellent job!

"Everyone, prepare yourselves according to what I said last time. I'll count to three... Three! Two!"

The Starlight Master raised his hand, quickly counting.

But he only counted to two, and everyone was already in position.

Spaced three yards apart, they lined up like soldiers trained for hundreds of years!

Each held a small board, stool, pen, and ink, standing straight, eyes fixed ahead...

The Starlight Master's hand, ready to unleash his temper, froze midair.

After a moment, he pointed at them: "Fine, fine! You're good! Start the exam!"

Everyone knew he would try to mess with them, so they sat down right away, ready with brushes in hand.

Sure enough.

The Starlight Master swiftly flipped open a book, loudly and quickly reading: "First question..."

"Second question!..."

"..."

"Hundredth question..."

Below, everyone wrote furiously.

Each stroke like a dragon snake.

Now they were just recording questions, no need for neatness. Everyone was at Marshal Level, with impeccable memory and speed.

Thus, the Starlight Master's plans were all in vain.

He couldn't get angry.

After finishing a hundred questions, he threw the law code to the ground in frustration.

Then leaned back on his throne and closed his eyes to rest.

Completely unguarded.

Soon, he actually fell asleep.

Because he knew, tonight was the safest night; even if Shattering Dream Spear Duan Xiyang came, he wouldn't be afraid - Xue Fuxiao surely hadn't left yet!

This old guy surely was still watching secretly.

Anyway, that old thing knew his identity. Fang Che had no intention of hiding it.

Boldly transforming into Starlight.

He wanted to show them how powerful he was in the Demon Sect!

By the way, let Xue Fuxiao take what he saw at the sub-branch back to Dongfang Sansan.

You dared to hit me... If one day I become the Sect Hierarch of Wei Wo Zheng Sect, Xue Fuxiao, wait for it! I'll unleash the sect's underlings to hunt you down!

Meanwhile.

Zhao Wushang and others focused intently on answering questions.

Acting quickly, but writing clearly and meticulously.

If the Starlight Master got angry over messy work, who could stand it?

Even though the Starlight Master was asleep, no one dared to look around or whisper.

Just stuck to their own work.

Obedient to the extreme.

Only the sound of writing could be heard, swoosh swoosh swoosh...

An hour quickly passed.

The Starlight Master jumped up like a spring: "Collect the papers!"

Swoosh!

Everyone stopped writing simultaneously and sat neatly.

The last one in each row began collecting papers quickly, passing them to the front.

The whole process was smooth and natural.

The Starlight Master watched, his eyes wide open.

"Zhou Mei'er! Wu Lianlian! And others... check the papers!"

"Yes, Master!"

Zhou Mei'er and others stepped forward quickly, collecting the papers. Eight women began grading and calculating scores against the law code.

No one moved from their places.

Actions remained unchanged: Sitting upright, looking straight ahead.

The Starlight Master scanned maliciously with his eyes but couldn't find a single flaw.

After a moment.

Zhou Mei'er reported, "Master, the tally is done."

The Starlight Master said angrily, "Anyone scoring below eighty points, chase them out! Call their names!"

Below, many shivered instantly.

Zhou Mei'er respectfully stated, "Reporting to the Master, no one scored below eighty."

"Huh?"

The Starlight Master was taken aback, turning his head: "None?"

"Really none."

"Let me see..."

The Starlight Master approached like a starved wolf, baring his teeth: "You definitely showed favoritism!"

Then he began to check each paper.

It turned out... indeed, not below eighty!

Moreover, the vast majority scored over ninety-five, with thirty-six scoring a perfect one hundred!

Only two were below ninety, both scoring eighty-nine.

Zhao Wubai, Jiang Bin.

Newcomers all scored over ninety.

"This..."

The Starlight Master scratched his head, utterly stunned.

Finally, he brightened up upon seeing something, slapping the table: "Shameful! Shameful! As veterans, you didn't surpass the newcomers and got the lowest scores! Zhao Wubai, Jiang Bin! Step forward!"

The two stood up trembling, pale-faced.

Zhou Mei'er coughed lightly, whispering, "Master, they... just returned from escort duty today..."

The Starlight Master didn't care about that at all, waving dismissively, "Escort duty or not! It's the exam now, not escort duty! Someone, string them up for me!"

"Zheng Yunqi, where's the whip?!"

"Here!"

"Give them a beating!"

Thwack thwack thwack thwack...

After a round of whipping.

Two of their lives reduced by thirty percent.

Zheng Yunqi dared not hold back a single whip stroke, with the Master watching, lacking any force on the whip meant being strung up himself next.

After they were let down, bloody all over, they still stood strongly in the line, refusing to give the Starlight Master an outburst chance.

The Starlight Master ultimately grew bored.

He waved and said, "Tell the newcomers the rules, make them swear allegiance, and the day after tomorrow, arrange for identity registration, then hurry and escort to earn money for me!"

"Put in double the effort, and I might just get you a wife this year!"

Instantly, cheers thundered throughout.

This hurdle was finally over!

Lastly, after the pledge, it was the tradition of Worldwide Escort Agency.

Everyone stood upright, chests puffed, and recited together.

"We willingly join Worldwide Escort Agency, henceforth following only the Chief. Abide by laws and be honest; love the continent and people; never commit crimes, never act recklessly; henceforth, resolutely perform the duties of an escort, implement Escort Agency policies, strictly adhere to Escort Agency discipline; faithfully keep Escort Agency secrets; infinitely loyal to the Escort Agency, strive for its cause for life, never to betray!"

Everyone solemnly and seriously read aloud.

Suddenly, an odd sound emerged from nowhere.

Seemed like... a 'pfft'?

The sound was faint.

"Who!"

The Starlight Master shouted, drawing his sword and leaping into the air, exuding an awe-inspiring presence.

"Who dared to laugh? Come out, I'll cut you down!"

The Starlight Master held the sword to his chest, feeling like the world's number one at this moment.

Could Xue Fuxiao dare to come out? He wouldn't dare!

Xing He stood firm, the bright moon shone in the sky.

Nothing was discovered.

"Did someone fart just now?"

The Starlight Master looked down at everyone.

Everyone exchanged glances.

Many didn't hear that faint sound, but some did.

All were puzzled.

Was it... a sound of laughter or farting?

The Starlight Master descended, saying, "Smell around, whoever smells stinks is the one who farted."

Instantly.

Everyone went: "Sniff sniff, sniff sniff sniff..."

"Chief! Zhao Wubai smells bad!"

Someone shouted out.

Zhao Wubai, embarrassed: "It wasn't a fart... it was from the beating just now..."

The Starlight Chief kicked him eight yards: "Damn farting and making me all tense!"

Then said: "You've passed, but let me reiterate, anyone who misbehaves and implicates everyone, well, don't blame us for being ruthless."

"This is a covert operation, not a chance for exposure, especially for those with weird habits from practicing martial arts. If any, get out. If anyone knows, report to me. Otherwise, such a person would endanger everyone!"

For a while, no one stood out.

No reports either.

"Zhao Wushang, Zheng Yunqi, handle daily responsibilities and assign tasks. Tell me if anyone disobeys."

"Escort Agency tasks, quickly commence."

"Provide service with a smile, promote civility, and foster good values!"

"Let our worldwide Escort Agency become Baiyun State's number one as soon as possible!"

"From today, forget your identities, you are chief and escort masters!!"

"Zhao Wushang, Zheng Yunqi!"

"Present!"

"So many can't all be chiefs, right? There should be escort masters. It's up to you!"

"Rest assured, Master, I'll handle it appropriately! If there's any dissatisfaction, I'm willing to accept punishment!"

"Good, very good!"

Fang Che praised: "I knew I didn't misjudge you, work on reporting and recruitment tomorrow, meeting adjourned!"

As soon as adjournment was mentioned.

Zhao Wushang immediately led everyone in chanting: "The master's teaching, always in our hearts; invincible and successful, nothing unachievable!"

Only then was the true - Zheng Yunqi, seeing the Starlight Master gone, waved his hand: "Dismissed."

Only then did everyone feel as though pardoned.

All seventy-eight collectively exhaled a long sigh of relief.

It was terrifying!

For one night, no one dared to breathe deeply!
