"Back off, back off, that whip is really long. Let’s keep our distance so we don’t get caught up in it."

"I never expected that just wanting to catch some excitement would be so dangerous these days!"

"Are you trying to get us killed? Keep your voice down in case they hear you!"

...

The ’audience,’ who said they wanted to retreat and were worried about getting involved, were quite honest with themselves. Not one of them moved an inch.

This kind of free show is not to be missed, after all, everyone is secretly relieved, thinking the danger won’t unluckily fall on them.

The whip went straight in the direction of the Ginsengfruit. If there really was no one there, it would seem like just an exciting performance.

The Invisibility Talisman on the Ginsengfruit only concealed his presence; it didn’t mean he didn’t really exist.

If this whip hit the spot where Ginsengfruit was, the Ginsengfruit would still be hit by the whip.

Pain for Ginsengfruit was nothing, but being hit so blatantly was a slap in the face.

The strangest part was that the whip seemed to have eyes, accurately able to locate the Ginsengfruit.

As the end of the whip was about to have an intimate encounter with the Ginsengfruit.

The Ginsengfruit reached out and grabbed the tip of the whip.

To the onlookers, the whip then stopped, hanging motionless in the air.

It was as if there really was something in that seemingly empty space that was blocking the whip’s attack.

"Hiss~"

Sounds of sharp intakes of breath rose and fell in waves.

"No way, is there really something there!!!"

"Nonsense, didn’t you see the whip go taut? If there’s no one there, how could it stay tight and suspended in mid-air!"

"Oh my god, my scalp is tingling. This is too thrilling!!!"

...

Many people felt their hearts racing, their blood boiling, even though they weren’t directly involved.

But they were close enough to be part of the excitement, a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Fortunately, this time they were in Moonlight City, and after returning home, this would become their talk of the town!

The Ginsengfruit hadn’t expected the person to be so ruthless, tossing the whip without warning.

The most surprising part was that the whip seemed to really sense his presence.

After pondering for a while, the Ginsengfruit decided that continuing to stay invisible seemed unnecessary.

He promptly removed the Invisibility Talisman from his body.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a shimmering silhouette appeared, and then gradually solidified.

The Ginsengfruit once again appeared with the appearance of Yun Ran, all fresh and lively.

Crowd: ...

Well, there really was someone!!!

Now, they felt they had really learned something new; turns out the man called Dark Night wasn’t lying after all.

If that was the case, does it also mean that when Dark Night looked towards the eaves earlier, it was also real?

While many people were getting their mental gears turning.

Some had already recognized the Ginsengfruit, not just because Yun Ran’s face was particularly distinctive, but also because she was especially wealthy.

More importantly, previously around Yun Ran was an even more noticeable Er Dan, which drew even more attention.

Now, one could say that among the onlookers, eighty percent knew Yun Ran.

"Hey, isn’t that the Yun Ran who’s been making waves lately? What’s she doing here!"

"Yeah, before we saw her enter the selection competition with our own eyes, everyone else was gone, how did she get out so quickly!"

"Where’s that big bird mount by her side? I remember when there was something strange on the selection competition stage, that big bird just rushed in."

...

The intended moment where everyone’s gaze would be focused on him was now realized.

But for some reason, the Ginsengfruit felt inexplicably embarrassed.

At this moment, he had no idea that the real Yun Ran, simultaneously watching while he wore her face, had her lips pursed into a line, obviously speechless.

The little puppet’s eyeballs wobbled slightly.

Seeing the Ginsengfruit turn into his master’s appearance was truly an unsettling experience.

The reason for the Ginsengfruit’s embarrassment was probably because, subconsciously, his current appearance was seen by the real Yun Ran.

A rather abrupt voice sounded: "Yun Ran, how are you here!"

The Ginsengfruit looked in the direction of the voice, oh, it was Elder Kang, the one who earlier invited Yun Ran.

At this moment, Elder Kang’s eyes were filled with shock, mixed with a kind of excitement that couldn’t be explained.

The Ginsengfruit withdrew his gaze, naturally not responding to Elder Kang’s words.

At this moment, Elder Kang appeared especially insignificant among the top management of Moonlight City and Dark Night and his companions.

When Dark Night first saw the Ginsengfruit wearing Yun Ran’s face, his brows furrowed slightly.

He was sure he had found the right person, but the feeling the person in front of him gave was somehow off.

"May I ask why you have disrupted the defensive arrays laid out by Moonlight City!"

Ordinary people, even if they could touch one or two, would be extraordinary, and most arrays had self-repairing functions.

But now, so many arrays were activated at once, showing no signs of self-repair, and even the greatest weapon of Moonlight City was activated, which was no small matter.

The Ginsengfruit released his hold from the whip’s tip, with an innocent expression: "I have no idea either.

I encountered danger in that selection competition, so I used a life-saving technique from my Sect to escape.

Who would have thought that upon coming out, I would encounter such a situation, I feel quite innocent too!"

The Ginsengfruit spoke in the tone Yun Ran usually used, so much so that no one, besides those very familiar with Yun Ran, could distinguish real from fake.

But what the Ginsengfruit didn’t anticipate was that his attempt to clear his name with a reasonable excuse.

Made everyone else, especially those aware of the selection competition’s rules, show terrified expressions.

Never before had anyone come out from the selection competition and spoken so casually about the dangers inside.

Those who had come out in the past were tight-lipped to the extreme!
