Chapter 1058: Chapter 487: Let’s Go Together!_3

“I insist on reporting this.” Shen Ye said.

“Fine, I will report this incident in its entirety, but for now, you two can’t fight anymore—”

The old man emphasized his tone and said:

“Shen Ye, I’ll give you a different room. As for you, Mr. Investigator, stay obediently in the command room. We’ll resolve this after we return to Earth.”

“Any objections?”

No one spoke.

Shen Ye stared at the young man, and the young man stared back at him.

But in the end, the young man was escorted away by other Professionals.

The old man, true to his word, gave Shen Ye a better room.

Shen Ye moved in with his Chihuahua.

The door shut.

He sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

Rather than deep contemplation, it was more like letting his thoughts dissipate outward.

An infinity of thoughts unfolded into the void, observing the multitudes of beings, like the universe itself.

The spacecraft.

The command room.

The old man spoke: “Pull up the surveillance screens.”

“Yes, sir!”

One of the Professionals responded.

On the large central screen of the command room, two side-by-side images appeared.

One showed Shen Ye.

Shen Ye was sitting on the sofa, seemingly lost in thought.

The other image showed the investigator.

Perhaps distrustful of the spacecraft’s commander, he logged into a private account on the computer, using high-level clearance to access the backend data of a dating website.

“Hah, just as I thought—it’s fake. He didn’t log in to the dating site last night, but there was an energy fluctuation.”

The investigator muttered to himself.

The old man watched the two images, his attention gradually focusing on Shen Ye.

After all, the investigator was working.

But Shen Ye?

He sat motionless, oddly eerie.

Shen Ye himself noticed it too and began trying to move his body.

—Could he maintain thought dissipation while moving?

He took off his shoe, tossed it onto the floor with a “thud,” and then lay back on the sofa.

In his mind.

The observational images returned by his thoughts didn’t stop.

It worked!

Then.

What’s the next best course of action considering his situation?

Sleep!

It was late. Unless something urgent came up, or he felt guilty from being investigated, the best thing he could do right now was sleep.

So, sleep it is.

But before sleeping, there was one thing to resolve.

As his thoughts formed, faint glowing text emerged:

“Your temporary entry ‘Top Idol King’ will remain active, influencing the world with power far exceeding ‘Hottest Idol.'”

—Even while sleeping, the power of entries could still be used.

Additionally, Shen Ye noted.

In the real world, he had only ever seen entries like “Supervisor.”

Other than that.

No one else had any entry above their heads.

—Perhaps he should use the power of entries to deal with enemies!

He closed his eyes and started sleeping.

In the command room, the old man withdrew his gaze.

—One was working, the other sleeping.

Very normal.

Nothing worth watching anymore.

So, wait.

Once they got to Earth, they could do whatever they wanted—it wouldn’t concern him.

In the meantime, may God ensure these two wouldn’t cause any more trouble.

“Keep an eye on them. Let me know if something happens.”

The old man instructed.

“Understood.” The subordinate responded.

Time passed.

Morning.

The spacecraft entered Earth’s atmosphere and slowly descended.

Shen Ye held the Chihuahua and walked off the spacecraft with Xiao Yurong.

“I heard someone gave you trouble last night,” Xiao Yurong said.

“No big deal, just petty stuff—probably because they’re jealous I’m so handsome,” Shen Ye replied.

Xiao Yurong gave him a reproachful look, about to scold him—but then thought his words weren’t entirely wrong.

This kid really was handsome.

“Hmph.” Xiao Yurong, slightly annoyed, gave him a playful shove on the shoulder and led the way forward.

“Hey, remember how I went viral yesterday?”

“Yeah, why?”

“Today, I’ll take you viral with me.”

“Really?!”

“Trust me, it’ll happen.”

“…Fine, if I go viral too, I’ll treat you to dinner.” Xiao Yurong cheered up.

“Deal.”

Shen Ye looked up.

The “Top Idol King” entry above his head shone even brighter.

—Let’s go.

No matter what, today he had to complete the third task.

Only then could he level up the hidden profession “Guiding Taoist.”

He and Xiao Yurong walked to the space center’s plaza.

A nanny van had been waiting there for them.

“Is this the vehicle to the variety show set?” Shen Ye asked.

“Yes, please get in,” the driver replied.

Shen Ye and Xiao Yurong got into the van.

But the van didn’t move.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Ye asked.

“I’ve received notice—there’s a last-minute addition to your group. We’ll depart once we pick them up,” the driver said.

A last-minute addition?

An ominous feeling surged in Shen Ye’s heart.

From a distance, a young man in military uniform approached and hopped into the nanny van, greeting Shen Ye.

“Hello, Shen Ye. I’ll be joining you on the show today.”

—It was that investigator.

Or more accurately—

He was the human traitor, General Xu Daojun!

“Really? If it’s just an investigation, I’m happy to cooperate. Do you really need to join the show for it?” Shen Ye chuckled.

“My original plan was to investigate covertly,” the young man admitted openly, “but I was worried you’d run.”

The two exchanged a long look without saying a word.

Xiao Yurong waved her hand, confused: “Excuse me, what’s going on?”

“Nothing important,” Shen Ye replied.

He shook his head, feeling a little disinterested, then opened his phone screen, handed it to Xiao Yurong, and finally turned to the young man:

“I’m not afraid of your investigation, but I hope you’re prepared.”

“Prepared for what? Planning to fight me?” The young man looked at him expectantly.

“No, it’s just that you might not fully understand the entertainment industry—”

Shen Ye leaned back into his seat, sighed comfortably, and finally said:

“This is the world’s hottest variety show.”

“If you want to join me as an entertainer, be ready to have your skeletons dragged out.”

“—After all, my level of exposure is terrifying.”

The young man’s eyes glimmered with sharp interest.

Expose my identity?

I’m no longer Xu Daojun—what more could you uncover?

But Shen Ye had already stopped paying him any attention.

He gradually became aware of something, turning his head to Xiao Yurong’s phone screen.

The screen was playing last night’s battle footage, with countless scrolling comments drifting across:

“My brother is too innocent—sneaking onto a dating website late at night, only to be interrupted by a violent man barging in.”

“Exactly! So rude!”

“Can someone tell me, is this how military officers behave?”

“Do soldiers have the right to barge into other people’s rooms?”

“How dare he talk to my brother like that, so arrogantly ordinary yet confident!”

“Look! He even tried to start a fight!”

Toward the end, all the comments unified into the same repeated line:

“Ladies, let’s dig up everything about this unkempt, shady man!”

The young man froze as he read.

—This was a perspective he had never anticipated!

Was exposure really possible?

Impossible, surely.

He glanced at Shen Ye, only to see Shen Ye taking the phone from Xiao Yurong.

Xiao Yurong casually reached out, massaged the back of his neck, and asked with concern:

“Restless night, didn’t sleep well, huh?”

“…You’re really good at this, thanks.” Shen Ye replied.

“No problem—I just can’t stand idle people doing nothing but criticizing others.” Xiao Yurong shot a frosty glance at the young man before turning her attention back to helping Shen Ye relax his neck.

The young man awkwardly averted his gaze, leaning back against his seat.

“Going on a show like this, being an idol for brainless girls—it must be hard for you, right?” he probed.

This remark earned him another sharp glare from Xiao Yurong.

Shen Ye, extremely comfortable from the massage, laughed in response:

“What, are you nervous? Don’t worry—I promise something will happen to you this time—”

“You picked this path, idol!”
