“Sister Jing, are there many monitors like you guys?” Lonemoon could not help but ask.

“How’s that possible!” Shen Jing glanced at him and said, “Up to now, other than myself, Mi Le is the only other monitor I’ve met.”

Hold on! Never mind about Shen Jing.

“Mi Le really is a monitor?” That didn’t make sense, with his weakling manner, earlier on when he was being thrashed by Shen Ying, he was totally powerless. And the aura on him was even less than that of an average assistant.

“Fools! Do you all really think that Mi Le is very weak?” Shen Jing darted a look at them before explaining, “Monitors have their fortes of the capabilities in different aspects and while Mi Le isn’t skilled in individual combat, his nature of belonging with every plane is stronger than any other.”

She sipped some tea before continuing to ask, “Why do you think he doesn’t need a plane permit or any invitation but could easily come to your plane?” She looked over them. “That is because your plane has acknowledged the existence of monitors from the very beginning, even if you guys are the managers, as long it is within the boundaries of the plane, if you really fight, you won’t be able to touch him at all.”

So was this why she specially dragged Mi Le to Chaos to beat him up? They’d thought it was because she was afraid of destroying the divine realm, turns out it’s to make sure her beating hurt more?

“That’s not right.” An incident suddenly came to Lonemoon’s mind. “How about Shen Ying?” Didn’t she have a merry time beating him up earlier? The powers of managers came from the plane itself, that was why they couldn’t hurt monitors that are acknowledged by the plane, then how did Shen Ying manage to do that just now?

Shen Jing’s eyes dimmed before she looked towards Shen Ying, saying, “Little Ying you… are more special!” She frowned, looking like a difficult problem had come to mind. “After you came to this plane, your body underwent some changes, so you possess capability beyond that of a manager.”

“Am I a monitor too?” Shen Ying cocked her head to a side.

“I thought so too in the past…” Shen Jing frowned, then as if she was reminded of something, she continued to question. “Let’s not talk about this now, all of you come clean first, what exactly has happened during this time? Why did Mi Le suddenly want to send you for the qualifications test, where did you all know about the existence of monitors!”

All three people froze at once, after sharing a glance, they started to admire the sky, the ground and their surroundings.

“Sit up straight and tell me honestly!” Shen Jing’s voice turned cold.

All three of them shivered, before sitting ramrod straight, even the child beside them had unconsciously straightened his back. Then everyone looked to the spokesperson Father Niu who sat right in the middle.

F*ck! Why was it me again?!

The corner of Lonemoon’s mouth twitched, inhaling deeply, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak up. He related everything from their encounter with the Big Dao Organization in detail. Only hiding the fact that Shen Ying had already transferred the plane to them. Whatever! They’ll hide it for as long as they can! There was a beating to come anyway, it was always better to get it later than earlier.

“Big Dao Organization?” Shen Jing frowned. “Their allies all come from immortal spirit planes?”

“Yes.” Lonemoon thought back carefully before nodding. “The planes of those people are like ours, considered immortal spirit planes.” That’s why they dared to unscrupulously act on those managers and planes who could not join the organization, because the energy was similar, makes it easier to be absorbed.”

“There’s actually such an organization.” Shen Jing’s frown grew deeper, though it was very normal for to not be aware of it since she still had a plane to manage, but why did Mi Le miss out on it too. Could it be because of… Little Ying?

At the thought of something, she turned to look at Shen Ying. “No wonder Mi Le would trick you into entering Void Land.”

“…” What did that mean? All three people were dumbfounded.

“In usual situations, monitors do not get to meet each other.” She sighed as her brows knitted tighter together. “The planes that we can sense are limited, if a certain area already has a monitor, even if another person wants to join in the examination, we will subconsciously ignore that area, so it’s impossible for two monitors to appear in a region.”

“You mean…” Lonemoon paused for a moment and instantly figured something out. “Those planes in the Big Dao Organization, a monitor might have been there before, so you and Mi Le were totally oblivious to them.”

“Mm.” Shen Ying nodded.

“But there were none there!” Back then they’d seen quite a lot of monitors, but none was as terrifyingly strong as Shen Jing.

Shen Jing did not speak, only turning around to look at Shen Ying.

“Shen Ying?” Lonemoon faltered. “Mi Le thought that Shen Ying was a monitor too?”

“Mm.” She nodded.

“That doesn’t make sense!” He thought of something and became even more doubtful. “Didn’t you say managers don’t get to meet one another? Let’s not talk about whether Shen Ying was one, what’s going on between you and Mi Le?”

“I met him before I became a monitor.”

“Then Shen Ying…”

“Accurately speaking, Mi Le thought Little Ying was in preparation to become a monitor.” Her voice instantly became colder as she continued. “Little Ying’s strength is special, different from other managers. I think Mi Le found out about the incident with the Big Dao Organization and thought that she had the possibility of becoming a monitor too, that was why he tricked her into entering Void Land to go through the qualifications test. Only people who pass it, become true monitors. Just like… me back then!”

Three of them were stunned, even Shen Ying fell in a momentary daze, staring right at her, as if recalling something, she even stopped chewing on her fruit.

“Then what exactly is a qualifications test?” Chef was the one to question.

“This differs with each person.” Shen Jing’s hand around the cup tightened, her eyes dimming before she continued to speak. “Every monitor’s test is different, but even if you were a manager to begin with, it is also extremely difficult to pass. Back then my test was also in Void Land, I was at death’s door when I found what was lost and returned. Mi Le that bastard probably thought that your test would be there too and hence led you towards that place.”

Lonemoon and Yi Qing exchanged a look, Void Land was indeed very disorderly, but it was merely finding something, with Shen Jing’s strength, it was impossible that she had a close shave with death.

“What exactly were you looking for?” He asked subconsciously.

Shen Jing looked up, and was about to reply but Shen Ying beside her, beat her to it. “It’s me.”

Huh?

Two of them were stupefied but Shen Ying continued to speak, “What she was finding was me.” Accurately speaking, it was awakening her consciousness, she had woken up now and then was born in that plane. “Sister… I was your test?”

Shen Jing looked at her with some surprise. “That was all before you were born, how did you know?”

“I guessed!”

“Right, you finally have some self-awareness of a burden.” Shen Jing glanced at her and went on, “At the beginning, our plane was often attacked by other planes, a part of the reason was also because I was about to become a monitor. At the start, it was average invaders, subsequently invading managers appeared. And Mi Le also appeared because of this.”

“He helped you handle the invasion?”

“No!” Shen Jing’s face fell, looking like she had eaten sh*t as she gritted out, “He brought even more invaders!”

Yi Qing: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

Shen Ying: “…”

What the hell? What happened to monitors being peacekeepers! Was Mi Le a bane?
