Bai Mo Kai burst into laughter, "You, Cui Bai, long time no see. Your cultivation hasn't improved, but you've learned a thousandth of the essence of Bu Shen's flattery."
Bu Shen Wan He patted his back, "Old Bai, we have guests, show some respect."
Bai Mo Kai said, "Who are the guests?"
Only then did the two notice Ming Zhi Tian and Jian Feng entering. Bai Mo Kai immediately stood up, and even Bu Shen couldn't help but rise and look.
Ming Zhi Tian said, "Bu Shen, Ming Zhi Tian has not failed his mission and has completed the task."
Jian Feng looked up, "You are Bu Shen Wan He?"
Bu Shen stepped forward, enthusiastically grasping Jian Feng's hands, without any pretense of superiority from the Upper Realm. "Welcome to the team, Jing Hong Yi Jian. I finally get to see the real person. From now on, you and Mo Kai will be my right and left hands. It's time to put pressure on the gods."
"Bai Mo Kai?" Jian Feng saw a familiar face.
"You?" Bai Mo Kai was surprised.
Bu Shen looked at the two, puzzled, "You... know each other?"
"More than just know each other, he's my junior brother," Bai Mo Kai pulled Jian Feng aside, "Let's talk elsewhere."
Expecting Ming Zhi Tian and the others to fail, Bu Shen hadn't held much hope. But to his surprise, Ming Zhi Tian succeeded. He was overjoyed, as this would facilitate the complete implementation of his plan.
Bu Shen patted Cui Bai's shoulder, "Cui Bai, you both did very well this time."
Cui Bai dared not take credit, "It's all Ming Zhi Tian's achievement. I was merely an observer."
"Oh?" Bu Shen regarded Ming Zhi Tian with newfound respect. "What reward do you desire?"
Ming Zhi Tian thought for a moment and said without reservation, "I need mechanical equipment."
Bu Shen looked at him more closely, "Oh? You're a mechanist? I couldn't tell. I have plenty of mechanical equipment. Which kind are you interested in?"
Ming Zhi Tian looked at the piles and piles of mechanical equipment, his eyes burning with intensity, "All of it. I want it all."
Bu Shen nodded, "I can't use it anyway, take whatever you need."
Ming Zhi Tian accepted it all without hesitation, "Thank you for your generosity, Bu Shen."
Bu Shen said, "You've earned it."
Jian Feng shook off Bai Mo Kai's hand, "Let go. Are we that familiar?"
"Junior Brother... where have you been all these years?" Bai Mo Kai sighed.
Jian Feng sneered, "Hmph, do you still see me as your junior brother? If you hadn't left alone back then, our junior sister wouldn't have had to die."
Bai Mo Kai retorted, "You have the nerve to say that to me? I entrusted our junior sister to you, and you swore you could protect her. And what happened? When I returned, she was gone. As her senior brother, I didn't even get to see her one last time."
Jian Feng argued, "It wasn't solely my responsibility! You bear responsibility too. I told you it was best you didn't leave, that we should protect her together. But you insisted on going. The situation was chaotic then, I couldn't manage everything, what could I do?"
Bai Mo Kai shook his head, "Jian Feng, you're still the same. You always shift blame and never reflect on your own mistakes."
Jian Feng challenged, "What? Judging by this attitude, do you want to fight me?"
Bai Mo Kai replied, "If you want to think of it that way, then yes."
Jian Feng summoned his Toothless Greatsword. A single swing unleashed a destructive force!
Bai Mo Kai quickly spread his hands and retreated, murmuring incantations, transforming the destructive energy into decay and diffusing the sword intent.
Seeing this, Mi Shu hurriedly went to inform Bu Shen, "Bu Shen, bad news! They've started fighting over there!"
Bu Shen looked puzzled, "Let's go see."
