After staring at the red button for a few minutes, Yuan eventually gave up and pressed it, his fingers trembling while doing so.
Immediately after pressing the button, the plane began to move, and Yuan watched as the plane turned towards the flight path and started moving without needing him to do anything.
A few moments later, they were in the air.
Seeing that they were flying without any problems, Yuan released a sigh of relief, but even then, he could not leave the cockpit unattended, so he sat in one of the two chairs and proceeded to just enjoy the scenery with his divine sense.
Of course, since he was using divine sense, he was able to see the Manager sleeping peacefully inside her room.
"She really went to sleep…" He thought she was only saying that to mess with him, but turns out she was telling the truth.
And while he sat in the cockpit, Yuan would use this time to continue trying to learn Technique Transmission.
Eight hours later, Yuan noticed the plane tilting downwards.
"It's descending? This should mean we're close to the Qi Family."
Half an hour later, the plane landed itself on a medium-sized island surrounded by water.
"The Qi Family really lives on an island..."
Sometime later, Yuan left the cockpit and went to knock on the Manager's door.
"Manager, we have arrived."
However, the Manager remained sleeping inside.
Yuan knocked on the door a couple more times before going into her room and shaking her awake.
"Manager! Wake up! We have landed!"
"Huh?"
The Manager sat up on the bed with a drowsy expression and saliva drooling from her mouth.
She stared at Yuan for a moment before snapping out of her daze and shouting with a flushed face, "G-Get out! I will be with you later!"
"Alright." Yuan said with a smile on his face, which only made the Manager's face flush even more.
After leaving the plane, Yuan waited for the Manager, who showed up five minutes later with a cold expression on her face, and she looked more angry than normal.
"Follow me," she said as she walked ahead.
Meanwhile, a few miles ahead, the Qi Family was preparing for the meeting.
"Qi Fang, come with us. There's going to be a meeting with the Manager of the Dragon Spiral Mountain soon. Apparently, the Lord wants us to work with someone to deal with the demons in the mountain." An old man said to a beautiful woman when he encountered her in the hallways.
"Okay." Qi Fang nodded, and she followed him into the meeting room.
Once they were seated, Qi Fang said, "I know the 11 demons within the Dragon Spiral Mountain is a calamity waiting to happen, but we should deal with our own problem before we help others."
"I know what you're thinking, but we're also receiving help from him. This person they're sending here— he will assist us with our problem."
"Who is this person, anyway?"
"The Lord didn't give any specifics, but he did guarantee us that he's very experienced with demons."
"Experienced with demons?" Qi Fang frowned upon hearing this.
'I swear to god, if it's that bastard…'
Meanwhile, after walking for about half an hour, Yuan and the Manager arrived before the Qi Family's household.
Once they were at the front gate, the Manager rang the bell and waited for a response.
A few moments later, a middle-aged woman wearing traditional clothing showed up to open the gate.
"Welcome to the Qi Family, Manager. The elders are expecting your presence in the meeting room."
The Manager and Yuan entered the estate and followed the middle-aged woman to a medium-sized building shaped like a pavilion beside the main household.
The middle-aged woman knocked on the door and said out loud, "Elders, the Manager and her friend have arrived."
"Let them in!" A voice quickly responded.
The middle-aged woman opened the door and gestured for them to enter.
Once they entered the building, Yuan immediately felt an unpleasant gaze directed at him, and when he looked at this person giving him the glares, it was a familiar face.
Sure enough, it was Senior Qi, who was also known as Qi Fang.
"Welcome, Manager and little friend." An old man stood up and greeted them with clasped hands.
Yuan returned his greetings and said, "Good morning, my name is Yuan."
"Yuan? The one who assisted the Six Spiritual Families in subjugating the demon? I heard about you. I didn't think you would be the one coming here today." The old woman sitting beside the old man said.
"By the way, I am Qi Huan," she added.
"I'm Qi Man, retired patriarch of the Qi Family." The old man said.
"Qi Fang…" Senior Qi said in a low voice.
"Hm? What's the matter, Qi'er? Why do you have a frown on your face?" Qi Man asked her.
"It's nothing." Qi Fang stopped frowning the next moment.
Nobody in the Qi Family was aware of her fight with Yuan, as it was too embarrassing for her to admit that she'd lost to a junior like him.
"Anyways, have a seat." Qi Huan pointed at the chairs.
Once they sat down, the Manager said, "As the Lord has promised, Yuan will help you with your problem. In return, you will help us with our problem."
"Of course. If he can really assist us, we will spare no effort dealing with your demons."
"Huh? You never told me anything about helping them." Yuan suddenly said.
"You didn't?" The Qi Family turned to look at the Manager with raised eyebrows.
"I forgot," said the Manager in a calm voice.
She then turned to look at Yuan and continued, "You will be helping them kill a demon."
"What?!" Yuan exclaimed.
He thought he came here to make friends with the Qi Family, not kill demons for them! Furthermore, why would they need his help when they are all demon sealers themselves? It made no sense!
