"Will your Sect deal with this world?"
Shen Ye asked.
"No, my Sect prides itself on being just, a pillar in the Ninety-Nine Layered Universe. It's a gathering place for the strong from all the universes. Being discovered would greatly damage our Sect's reputation."
Yun Ni continued:
"Besides, they do not know that I have entered the breakthrough realm, nor that I am refining the Heart Demon."
Shen Ye felt relieved at this.
He looked at Yun Ni and saw she had completely transformed.
— Her face as pale as Frost, brows like willows, and eyes deep as an ancient well with ripples reflecting the Moon.
Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, and her demeanor was like a drawn sword's edge.
Absolutely mesmerizing to behold.
"This is not going to work."
Shen Ye spoke, arms folded.
"How so? I am indeed mortal now, with no Dharma Aspect fluctuations." Yun Ni responded.
"Too spirited... anyone can tell you are not a mortal." Shen Ye said.
"Can't hide it at all?" Yun Ni asked.
"Anyone looking into a crowd would spot you first." Shen Ye assessed.
"That's problematic. I've already restrained all my Strength, yet it's still no use... do you have a plan?" Yun Ni asked.
"Yes, but you must follow my lead." Shen Ye said.
Yun Ni became watchful, protectively placing her hands over her chest, "You're not proposing something excessive, are you?"
"Not at all, don't think too much, absolutely not." Shen Ye responded.
"Fine, I'll listen to you." Yun Ni said.
Shen Ye picked up his phone and made a call:
"Hello, President Qian, I need a favor."
From the receiver, Qian Rushan's hearty voice sounded: "Shen Ye, what is it? Just tell me!"
"I have a relative—not a Professional, but my cousin. She's very capable. Could you give her an internship, let her do some work in the Group?" Shen Ye asked.
"No problem at all, just send her over, I'll arrange it immediately." Qian Rushan responded without hesitation.
"Just make sure she's not idle," Shen Ye earnestly advised, "She's young, just graduated, looking to learn something. I hope she can make a career out of this."
"Is that so?" Qian Rushan sounded surprised. "What did she study?"
"Computer science." Shen Ye glanced at Yun Ni.
Yun Ni widened her eyes, looking bewildered.

"How skilled is she?"
"Top-notch! Let me tell you, she's a true industry leader, I'm not lying, President Qian." Shen Ye declared.
That made Qian Rushan pay attention:
"If she's top-tier, then have her come, I'll personally take her to the R&D department."
"Great, I'll bring her over in the morning." Shen Ye said.
"I'll be in the Group until 10 o'clock." Qian Rushan stated.
"Thanks a lot, President Qian."
The call ended.
"Do you want me to go to work?" Yun Ni curiously asked.
"Have you worked before?"
"Never."
"You'll understand once you try it."
"...Alright, but what is computer science? A technological approach to Artifact Refining?"
"Yes, it virtualizes everything through code."
"I've never studied this, what do I do?" Yun Ni asked.
"Learn. With your comprehension skills, why worry? Especially since our main goal is for you to work—you'll understand it after a while."
Shen Ye pulled out his phone and quickly searched for computer science textbooks, handing them to Yun Ni.
At 9:30 in the morning.
Shen Ye walked out of the Renjian Wudao Group Building in Yu Jing City, took one last look.
People.
Have to go to work.
Regardless of how much light is in your eyes, how unrivaled and unique you are, or whether you are from heaven or grew from the ground—
"Try going to work."
—Good luck.
He left the Group and immediately contacted Xu Xingke.
Twenty minutes later.
The contract appeared before the group of bosses.
It was placed within The Tarot Book, surrounded by four Cards positioned at each of the contract's sides, casting a soft glow upon it.
"The Tarot Book is analyzing it. But, Shen Ye, you were too reckless, signing the contract without even asking?"
The Swordswoman inquired.
Shen Ye explained, "Under those circumstances, any hesitation from me could have meant a bad end, possibly even the destruction of this world."
"Is it that terrifying?" Cang Nanyan sighed.
"She would never let the Sect trace her, so I guess if she couldn't trust me, she'd destroy this world—"
"Just a simple move for her."
Shen Ye said.
Everyone fell silent.
Putting themselves in that situation—
The signing of the contract was unavoidable.
Look at it from another angle.
Shen Ye had managed the situation to the best of his abilities.
A lord from above the Ninety-Nine Layered Universe entrusting a youth from the lowest universe.
Who would believe such a tale?
"Can The Tarot Book analyze this contract?" Shen Ye asked worriedly.
The strong ones glanced at each other, then turned towards Xu Xingke.
Xu Xingke, unwavering and smoking, casually said:
"Don't worry, any item formed from the laws of the cultivation side of the Ninety-Nine Layered Universe, The Tarot Book can handle."
A quiet moment.
Shen Ye contemplated the deep implications of those words.
Suddenly.
His expression changed as he sensed something.
The Big Skeleton returned to the Dharma Aspect, stepping on a fan, signaling to him:
"The strong ones from the various universes have formed an alliance, planning to step into the Immortal Country and destroy the entire White Bone Palace."
"—When do you have time to let them in?"
Shen Ye was overjoyed.
Looking again, the Big Skeleton held a thick stack of contracts, all for servitude in the Immortal Country.
This test finally looked promising!
"Hold on, I'm almost done here." Shen Ye said.
