I'm a villain in the superhero world.

"Where do we go next, what do we do, and how should we proceed—"

Wandering through the brightly lit, celebrity-filled lobby, I followed behind Lü Buyi, who seemed to regard all of this as nothing.

This is the first time Yin Qing has taken the initiative to ask a question since the beginning.

"Good question. The answer is anywhere is fine, and you can do anything."

"As for the action..."

"As long as there are no problems with Ji Mingyang, we can do whatever we want, it's that simple."

Just as Lü Buyi said, his attitude toward this incident was very casual and almost aimless.

After all, aside from going to Ji Mingyang's place to save the day when necessary.

At other times, forcing a specific scene is purely superfluous and meaningless.

Now that Black Sword is watching him from the shadows, it doesn't really matter where he goes.

As for whether his appearance will trigger a reaction in some people...

This was not within Lü Buyi's considerations, since everyone else was no different from weeds to him.

Even if he walked up to those people openly and honestly, what could they do?

At most, after exhaling on them immediately, they would kneel down, beg for mercy, and shout for loyalty.

Lü Buyi had no particular place he wanted to go, nor anyone he wanted to see.

So he asked Yin Qing what she thought and gave her all the options available at the moment.

"Is there anywhere you want to go, or anything you want to do? I can make it happen for you... I'm really bored anyway."

"If you'd like to meet your colleagues beforehand, we can go up to the fourth floor and head east to the area of ​​the floating restaurant."

"If you want to see who poses the greatest threat to Ji Mingyang among these people, you can go to the sixth deck... The Indians are still so strange, I can't understand why they don't wear shoes."

"Of course, the strongest woman on the ship right now, the mastermind behind Ji Mingyang, is watching the show from the top."

"That 'artificial weapon' in the Silent Sea is blowing wind on the ninth floor and feeding seagulls fries."

"That old man in Baghdad who's retired is probably just trying to see Ji Mingyang one last time because he's nearing the end of his life, so he can die without regrets—"

"As for the Disaster Prevention Institute... I can only say that they are here purely for participation, and there is absolutely no need to pay them any attention."

"So, which side quest do you want to complete before the auction starts?"

He casually revealed all the enemy's information and location.

Undoubtedly confident of victory from beginning to end, and with everything perfectly in mind, Lü Buyi smiled and offered his "daughter-in-law" a different choice.

Completely oblivious to the astonishment Yin Qing felt at his casual remark.

Just how strong is Lü Buyi?

Even now, this question remains a mystery to Yin Qing.

She didn't care about this issue because Lü Buyi had no ill intentions towards her or Ji Mingyang.

But it must be admitted that the power he has shown today far exceeds expectations.

It should be noted that the Oriental Pearl set sail half an hour ago and has now officially entered the Pacific suppression zone.

Despite such powerful suppression, it can still bring everyone into its perception range without them noticing.

Perhaps my master can do the same thing—

But who is Yin Qing's master?

That was a Zen master!

Lu Buyi is so young; according to Ji Mingyang, he should only be under 25 years old. How could he possibly rival a Zen master?!

Why had she never heard of such a person before?

Lü Buyi is undoubtedly from Dongxia, and according to previous hints, he is not only proficient in the Five Elements Divine Skill, but his companion Gu Yu is also a member of the Five Elements Family.

Theoretically speaking, the master must know him.

But Yin Qing had never even heard of the lineage of holy blood he belonged to from his brother or master...

Then why didn't Master tell me?

Yin Qing didn't know the answer, but she was certain that there was some special connection between this person, herself, and Ji Mingyang.

Otherwise, his care for Ji Mingyang and his attitude towards himself would be inexplicable.

It is astonishing that the fifth level of energy, which reigns supreme over humanity, would deign to come here.

Why is that?

"So, have you made up your mind?"

Lu Buyi's gentle voice, as always, interrupted Yin Qing's thoughts.

Of course, he wasn't forcing Yin Qing to choose one.

Therefore, he added, "Of course, if you don't want to go anywhere, we can go to the auction venue now and wait for the show to begin."

"Since that person chose the auction, she must have left something there that would inevitably make Ji Mingyang show himself—"

"She will probably continue to send messages to Ji Mingyang for clues. Ji Mingyang, who is currently on the other side of the ship, should also go there soon."

"We can go anywhere, it's up to you."

Lü Buyi's attitude was excessively kind; to put it bluntly, Yin Qing always felt that he treated her and Ji Mingyang like children.

A child in the literal sense.

Yin Qing didn't spend much time with her parents, but as the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father.

Her brother took better care of her than most fathers.

Compared to Lü Buyi, the brother in my memory was actually somewhat inferior—

After all, my brother still has work to do, and he can't be meticulous or extremely indulgent in everything.

But Lü Buyi was different; he completely allowed Ji Mingyang and himself to do whatever they wanted.

—Puzzling.

Shaking her head, she put those thoughts aside and quickly made her choice.

"If you don't mind, let's go straight to the venue."

Yin Qing answered without much hesitation.

This made Lü Buyi raise an eyebrow slightly: "I thought you would want to meet your colleagues."

"After all, those two are really worried about you. They've been asking about you a lot in Haidu these past few days."

"This is the best option; after all, meeting now would be troublesome."

She paused, then looked up at Lü Buyi:

"And as you just said, since that person chose the auction, they must have left something there."

"I want to go and check it out beforehand—it's better to discover something in advance than to wait passively."

"That makes sense." Lü Buyi nodded with a smile, gesturing for you to proceed. "Then let's go, I'll go with you."

The two walked through the front hall and slowly descended the spiral staircase covered with a deep red carpet.

The walls on both sides of the staircase are adorned with valuable oil paintings, and warm yellow wall lamps cut the light and shadow into soft fragments.

The faint sounds of an orchestra tuning their instruments drifted from downstairs, mixed with the hushed chatter of the guests.

After walking around and stopping frequently, we arrived at the auction venue.

Lü Buyi reached out and pushed open the door, and in an instant, a magnificent scene rushed into view—

Crystal chandeliers hang from the circular dome, casting soft light onto the tiered seating area.

On the main stage at the very front, a red curtain was half-drawn, obscuring the items yet to be auctioned. A few guests had already taken their seats, chatting quietly in small groups.

"Let's go find a good spot."

"Since you're here to watch the show, you should sit in the front row."
