All Eyes Fixed on Him

Although Shen Hui has not yet received any substantial rewards from the World Association.

But the explicit and implicit suggestions given by Shen Hui after saving everyone also took effect.

At this moment, all the families and forces behind those saved by Shen Hui expressed their sincere gratitude to Shen Hui.

"This time, we rescued members of our family. Since the World Association has expressed its support, we naturally cannot treat our young friend Shen Hui unfairly."

"Our Yu Family the Fire District will send a gift of gratitude to young friend Shen Hui afterward."

"Our Sirius Organization will also send them a gift of gratitude afterward."

"Our Ye Family of the Water District is deeply grateful and will offer a token of our appreciation to young friend Shen Hui afterward."

One family or organization after another began to express their opinions.

Even those who didn't intend to do so found themselves too embarrassed to express their opinions due to this influence.

Shen Hui appeared calm and composed, seemingly without desires or wants, like a wise and enlightened person.

"It's only right that I help out. We're all friends, so it's only natural that we should support each other. As for a thank-you gift..."

"Please remember to deliver this to XXX address; I live there now."

Shen Hui could say polite things, but he couldn't refuse to give up everything.

Shen Hui gave them the address of his current temporary residence with Ye Long and asked them to deliver it to him.

Some factions were initially hopeful after hearing Shen Hui's words, thinking they would simply leave without sending him off, since they wouldn't miss out on anything.

But then he gave me his delivery address, which completely messed with my mindset.

After this little incident, the next step is to discuss the allocation of the 2,000 points related to the value of the World Wanderers.

This naturally fell on Shen Hui's shoulders as well.

This also drew immense envy from everyone on the Starry Sky Leaderboard.

Even for someone at the first tier, it might take them more than half a month to earn those two thousand points.

Shen Hui obtained it in just one day; how could anyone not be envious?

However, due to the special nature of this mission, you need to wait until you complete the task at the Starry Sky Leaderboard stronghold to receive it.

"That's pretty much the end of the matter. The World Association will continue its search for the Star-Devouring Behemoth in the Sea of Stars."

"We hope that any discoveries made by the major families and forces will be promptly reported to the World Association."

After Fan Hao finished speaking, the matter was considered to have come to an end.

Everyone began to leave and return to their respective regions.

Ye Long also left with Ye Yitian, as for Xiao Xiangyan and the others who were not involved in this matter.

They had long since returned to their respective regions.

"Let's go back too."

Chi Yan called out to Shen Hui, and Shen Hui immediately followed.

The car was driving on the straight road. It was evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the glass, casting a golden glow on Chi Yan's face.

The car was playing a soft tune called "Meeting Dish," which made me feel very at ease.

Shen Hui, who had been busy for so long, felt a little tired.

I leaned back in my chair and fell asleep without even realizing it.

Chi Yan glanced at Shen Hui, who was asleep, in the rearview mirror. She turned down the volume, slowed down, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

When Shen Hui awoke again, it was to the gentle call of Chi Yan.

Shen Hui rubbed his eyes and looked out the window; it was already completely dark.

"Get up, we've arrived at our association's base."

Shen Hui opened the car door, stepped outside, and stretched.

"Go take care of your own things. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Chi Yan said, smiled, glanced at Shen Hui, and then left.

Shen Hui pursed his lips and walked into the World Association's base.

Upon entering the hall, Shen Hui immediately spotted Qingxue sitting on the sofa.

Although it had only been a few days since he last saw Qingxue, Shen Hui had the illusion that they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Moreover, the other person looked much more capable than before.

"Qingxue, you haven't gone back yet."

Shen Hui greeted her first, and Qingxue, who was in a daze, was suddenly awakened by Shen Hui's voice.

"Shen Hui, are you alright?"

She stood up and asked with a hint of joy.

"Haha, it's nothing, just a small problem, a little water spill."

Shen Hui walked over and slumped onto the sofa.

"It's good that you're alright. I was so scared yesterday when I heard from the guild leader that you were eaten by the Star-Devouring Behemoth."

"I thought I'd never see you again... Um, Xiao Xiangyan was also very worried about you and Ye Long, and she stayed here with me last night."

"However, upon hearing the news of your return today, I left ahead of time."

Qingxue's face flushed slightly as she spoke.

Shen Hui wasn't a stupid idiot either.

He could naturally sense a hint of unusual affection Qingxue had for him.

"Haha, don't worry, we went to school together, you should know me best. I don't fight battles I'm not sure I can win, right?"

Shen Hui laughed and said that this crisis was nothing at all.

However, Qingxue didn't laugh along with Shen Hui. Instead, she spoke seriously:

"What I fear is that you might be absolutely certain, but the situation you face will far exceed your confidence. That's not about solving problems with confidence, but about confidently... walking towards your grave."

"So I'd rather you be unsure and leave yourself an out."

"We're friends, this is my advice to you."

Qingxue spoke, a glint of light flickered in her eyes.

Shen Hui also dropped his carefree demeanor and nodded seriously. "Don't worry, I will absolutely put my life and safety first."

Changing the subject from the more serious one, Shen Hui asked, "Qingxue, you seem much more capable these days. What have you been up to?"

"Of course, I can't give up just because I didn't make it into the Starry Sky Leaderboard."

"Hmph, only a minority got in; I represent the majority."

Qingxue put her hands on her hips and then spoke:

"I joined an adventurer's group in the Land of the Unfettered called Starry Night, where I can get excellent training and improvement."

As if worried that Shen Hui might be concerned, Qingxue added:

"Don't worry, adventurer guilds are different from factions. They help each other and focus on improving their strength. You can take on quests to collect materials and items."

"The Starry Night Adventurer Group is quite famous. Just ask anyone else; they all know it. There are a lot of strong members in it, and they'll take me under their wing."

"That's good, but challenging the world from the Land of the Unfettered is quite dangerous. It's best to challenge through the World Association if possible."

"Don't worry, I have a good understanding of my own abilities."

Shen Hui and Qingxue chatted for a while longer before saying goodbye and going home.

Shen Hui naturally returned to Ye Long's residence, since that was the address he had left for receiving gifts.

Back home, Ye Long hadn't returned yet, so Shen Hui used the device on his wrist to access the Starry Sky Leaderboard stronghold, ready to collect his points.

Consciousness was projected into the stronghold of the Starry Sky Leaderboard.

Although it was already evening, Shen Hui found that there were quite a few people inside when he entered the stronghold.

It's fair to say that more than half of the people are here.

When Shen Hui appeared, everyone's eyes turned to Shen Hui.

Moreover, they were eyeing them menacingly, their eyes revealing a greedy glint.
