"By the way, how long will I be staying with the Qi Family?" Yuan asked the Manager before she left.
"You can leave whenever you want," she said to him as she walked away.
That night, Chu Liuxiang asked him, "You'll be visiting my Master's family tomorrow, right? Can I come with you?"
"The Mountain Lord said that I should go alone since the Qi Family doesn't like guests." Yuan said.
"I see… How long will you be gone for?"
"I'm not sure, but I will try to come back as soon as possible."
"Stay safe out there."
"The only one I need to be wary of is your master. I hope she doesn't hold a grudge after because I left her sealed." Yuan sighed.
"Master may be arrogant and a little hot-headed, she's not an unreasonable person. If you speak with her, I'm sure she'll forgive you."
"I hope so."
"Good night, darling."
"Good night."
The following morning, Yuan met up with the Manager, who was waiting at the front of his building in a luxurious red car.
"Get in the back," she said to him.
Once Yuan was in the car, the Manager took off and began driving down the mountain.
However, the speed she was descending the mountain at was a little unnatural— unnaturally fast.
Yuan quickly realized that the Manager was a reckless driver who would drift at even the slightest curve in the road, and she was basically speeding down the mountain at a ridiculous speed.
Yuan has never really feared for his life outside of Cultivation Online, but riding in the same car as the Manager made him feel insecure about his safety, and he worried that they might die at any moment.
Once they left the Dragon Spiral Mountain, Yuan expected the Manager to slow down, but alas, she only sped up.
"S-Shouldn't you slow down a little?" Yuan could no longer stay silent and said to her.
"Why?" The Manager said, dumbfounding him.
"Why…? It's dangerous to be going this fast, not to mention illegal…"
"We'll be fine." The Manager said in a nonchalant manner before increasing the speed by ten more miles.
By now, they were going at least 140 miles per hour, and Yuan was prepared to jump out of the car at any moment.
After a few minutes of this madness, Yuan could hear the sound of police sirens blaring from behind them.
However, instead of stopping for the police, the Manager actually increased the speed!
'She's crazy!' Yuan cried inwardly. He never expected the Manager to be such a lunatic, and he swore to himself that he would never sit in a car with her ever again as long as she was behind the wheels.
The police sirens only got louder as more and more police cars appeared behind them, yet the car continued to zoom forward.
