"That girl must be the one from the Outer World who can control the force field," Uncle Li Dong said with a smile as he looked at Qing Chen, "I felt the change in the force field the moment I entered. Such ability is indeed rare, and she is also polite and beautiful."
"Master, is there something wrong with the latter part of your statement?" Qing Chen calmly asked, "Is that really what you should be focusing on?"
"Ah," Uncle Li Dong sighed, "You might not know, but your master is getting old..."
"Stop right there," Qing Chen interrupted, raising his hand, "Every time you start talking about your age, nothing serious follows."
Uncle Li Dong raised his eyebrows, "When I was in the 002 Taboo Land, I was jealous of you and those old guys indulging you recklessly. They could just spoil you without considering your spiritual growth, just giving things and benefits, unlike me who had to consider a lot. I just wanted to indulge in the joy of spoiling across generations..."
"I knew it wasn't going to be anything serious," Qing Chen said helplessly, "We really don't have any emotional complications. At most, we are just using each other. Please stop overthinking."
At that moment, Qing Chen suddenly thought of a question, "Master, everyone's force field is different. She told me that it's like a person's fingerprint or DNA. Just by appearing once, if she meets the real 'Uncle Li Dong' again, she will definitely recognize you."
Her ability is like a human radar, completely ignoring any changes in a person's appearance.
So, the next time she sees Uncle Li Dong's true self, she will definitely recognize him.

Qing Chen stared blankly at Uncle Li Dong, "Master, do you think the force field of an S-Class Demigod might be different from that of ordinary cultivators?"
"It should be different," Uncle Li Dong thought and said, "After all, a demigod is already one step beyond the realm of humans, and I think the more powerful a Transcendent is, the fiercer their force field. In fact, many consortiums detect the level of Transcendents by sensing the force field."
"So, if she was so flustered just now, it was probably because of your force field, Master," Qing Chen murmured.
So, if she could determine that the force field belongs only to a demigod, then she already knew the truth just now.
Just like before, when he disguised himself using masks and Puppeteer tricks, she still ended up discovering his real identity.
Now, after all his efforts, she still found out the truth.
The news that Uncle Li Dong had left the number 18 prison slowly spread, and suddenly there was a demigod in 18th City. Who else could it be but Uncle Li Dong?
Uncle Li Dong didn't look at Qing Chen but walked toward the kitchen, "Well... isn't it normal for a master to want to see the girl his disciple brought home?"
"Master," Qing Chen widened his eyes, "I didn't say anything..."
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Qing Chen went to open the door and was surprised to see Xiao Yiyi standing there with a basket of fruit in her hand.
"What's this?" Qing Chen was surprised.
"I didn't realize you had company at home and left in a rush, which was a bit impolite, so I bought some fruit," Xiao Yiyi finished speaking and stuffed the fruit into Qing Chen's arms before turning to run off again.
Qing Chen looked at the girl's retreating figure and then at the fruit in his arms, bewildered.
After running a distance, Xiao Yiyi came back and whispered to Qing Chen, "I won't tell anyone else. Only I know!"
Qing Chen, holding the fruit, went back inside and sighed, "She really guessed it."
Uncle Li Dong changed the subject, "The fruit in the city isn't cheap, a kilo of fruit is worth a kilo of synthetic meat. The young lady is quite generous, aren't she? People from outside the Upper Three Districts, unless they're in business, wouldn't be willing to give someone fruit."
"Although the fruit in the Outer World is also expensive, it's not to the point where no one can afford it," Qing Chen said, "The happiest time during my childhood was summer when I could eat half a watermelon by myself, and back then watermelons were cheap too, you could buy a huge one for ten dollars."
Uncle Li Dong remarked, "When I was in the wilderness before, I didn't think of this. Only later did I realize, the many apples Xiao Yiyi gave you were actually very generous. Every autumn his family goes to pick apples, and the truckload of apples they bring back can be sold for quite a bit."
"I see," Qing Chen said.
"Speaking of which," Uncle Li Dong said, "The Qin family has returned to 18th City. They followed my instructions to seek out Su Xingzhi, but Qin Yiyi hasn't returned."
"Where did she go?" Qing Chen wondered.
"Her father, Qin Cheng, told Su Xingzhi that on the way back, Qin Yiyi took advantage of a camping night while everyone else was asleep and sneaked away from the group," Uncle Li Dong explained, "Before coming back, she said she was going to find the Fire Pit to gain power. Her disappearance this time is probably to seek the Fire Pit in the Southwest Snow Mountain."
"Was this the matter you went to handle today, Master?" Qing Chen asked.
"No," Uncle Li Dong shook his head, "Su Xingzhi could manage them well, I didn't need to worry about anything."
