The Heavenly Dao System-Chapter 119: Sleeping

While all the contestants stayed silent and focused at their respective tables, the audience continued to talk among themselves.

"This examiner is really something else."

"He could control the city guards and the city lord didn’t even voice any opinions either."

"Not just that. Even Senior Jing is just sitting at the high platform without speaking up for the contestants."

The audiences were truly baffled by the competition, but their astonishment only increased further.

After all, some of them had been paying attention to Ye Ming and noticed he had actually pulled out a bed.

Yes, a bed in the open stage.

"What is he doing?" At the high platform, Song Jing stood up and stared at Ye Ming in disbelief.

Her eyes widened when she saw Ye Ming lying on the bed and began to close his eyes.

"I-Is he actually going to sleep?" She twitched her mouth uncontrollably.

"I think so..." Lin Loi also stood up and flashed an awkward smile.

Sure enough, just like many have predicted, Ye Ming calmly took out a pillow and blanket as well.

"Wake me up when the time is up." He yawned aloud and continued, "I doubt these contestants would dare to cheat in the open anyway."

With that said, he closed his eyes and appeared in a sleeping position in front of everyone.

However, contrary to their belief, Ye Ming actually split a tiny bit of his consciousness as he teleported back to the flying ship.

The flying ship had been stationary above the Tianwu World.

Upon his emergence, Qing Lan and Ye Ling were taken aback by his sudden presence.

"Young Master, you’re back?" Qing Lan was the first to arrive next to him and inquired. She had thought he had finished his businesses already but realized it wasn’t the case.

After all, she could tell it was just a consciousness and not his main body or soul.

"I came to inquire something." Ye Ming said.

"What is it?" Eager to assist him, Qing Lan’s eyes flashed with determination.

"I need you to collect all the known alchemy recipes in the Tianwu World and deliver them to me."

"The lower world’s alchemy recipes?"

"Yes, my Mother doesn’t even care about those low levels so I don’t have memories of them. Moreover, it had been diluted so I want to get a general gist of the alchemy level in the Tianwu World."

Realization quickly dawned upon Qing Lan. She understood his meaning and quickly darted her eyes to Ye Ling.

"You, go and gather all of them on behalf of the Young Master." She coolly commanded.

"Why me?" Ye Ling was dumbfounded.

"If not you, then who else? Can you manage the flying ship? Are you capable of understanding the mechanism? And, are you qualified to even complain when you’re a sinner?"

Faced with a barrage of questioning, Ye Ling’s brows furrowed. She wanted to rebuke Qing Lan but couldn’t find any valid points.

As someone who used to have a high standing, she would never need to manage a flying ship, much less understand its mechanism. That was the work of the inferior.

All she did was relax in a flying ship and have others serve her.

"Why are you still standing there in a dork?" Qing Lan harshly scolded. "Are you trying to make the Young Master wait?"

Without any choice, Ye Ling suppressed her emotion and nodded. With a single step, she had already vanished from her spot and entered the Tianwu World.

Based on her cultivation alone, she could easily traverse the Tianwu World in an instant.

"Is there anything else you need, Young Master?" Qing Lan then turned her attention back to Ye Ming, her tone completely submissive and mild. It was a far cry from the tone she had used toward Ye Lin.

A bit taken aback, Ye Ming shook his head. "No need, just make sure it’ll be delivered to me before 20 minutes."

"Very well, I’ll remind Ye Ling. If she dared to fail such a simple mission, I shall report it back to the Madam."

"To my Mother?"

Realizing that she might have slipped her tongue a bit, Qing Lan was slick enough to change the topic.

"Do you need a massage, Young Master? It must have been tiring being alone outside." She clasped her hands and suggested.

"Tsk, it seems like Mother has bought you off." Ye Ming rolled his eyes and rejected the request. He was currently a consciousness, so how could he feel anything?

Qing Lan could only flash an awkward smile in response. Toward Ye Ling, she was extremely bossy, but toward Ye Ming, she could only be timid and obedient.

"Alright, I won’t pressure you. I’m going to return now." Ye Ming waved his hand and didn’t attempt to make things difficult. He understood his Mother’s temperament well.

Without making many plans, she wouldn’t have let him go this far away.

He was certain that there were many secret bodyguards around in hiding. It was to the point that he couldn’t even sense them.

Oh wait, there was actually one person he could sense.

And that was none other than Old Bone, otherwise known as Longzu.

Since the two have a contract with Ye Ming being the boss, he could naturally sense Longzu’s presence. It was just that he didn’t care much about Longzu.

Longzu was a bona fide Beyond Creation Realm after all. His cultivation base was just one realm away from the endgame.

As if someone like Longzu could encounter any danger unless it was his parents.

Sometime later, Ye Ming’s consciousness returned to his original body.

By now, a little bit over 5 minutes had gone by.

He could hear many mutterings from the audience but he didn’t care about them. They were more or less talking about how unorthodox and unruly he was.

But so what?

They were just envious of his ability to behave in such a way.

Strength was king.

With strength, you could even snag the most beautiful woman in the world as your wife.

Of course, Ye Ming had no interest in doing any of that.

He disdained to be the same kind of hypocritical protagonist who collected women and claimed to love them but proceeded to leave them behind to another place, only to collect more women.
