　　"Any ideas on who Wukong might admire?" Li Yiming asked while rubbing his temples.

　　"Nope. He seems like someone who has the world at his feet, just like in Journey to the West and Adventure to the East. I doubt he would ever feel admiration for anyone," Bai Ze said.

　　"Well then, who exactly was it that...' Li Yiming looked at the melted puddle of ice cream on the floor. He was so close yet so far away from the truth, leaving him clueless on where to investigate next.

　　"How long has it been?" Li Yiming sighed and turned his attention toward the sea.

　　"Worried about Liu Meng?"

　　"How could I not be."

　　"Do you have a way to get us out of here?" Bai Ze looked at the horizon.

　　"Yeah." Li Yiming nodded. The miniature staff in his hand transformed into a plate about the size of a manhole.

　　"Go!" Bai Ze turned into a ray of white light and shot toward Li Yiming's chest.

　　Li Yiming ran towards the external corridor, threw the disk as far as he could and jumped on top of it.

　　Fang Shui'er was still sitting by the swimming pool, not minding the occasional strange look she would receive from a pa.s.serby. She then jumped up and rushed toward the upper deck, staring at the long trail of white smoke left in the distance. 'Did something come up… or does he find it hard to talk to me right now?'

　　"He's paying us back for Tianshan…" Qing Linglong said.

　　Sai Gao continued to listen to his music lazily, and took out a cup of wine seemingly out of nowhere.

　　"He wants to fight Yun Yiyuan? What is he thinking? We can't just leave him be…" Eyegla.s.ses looked at Li Huaibei and Stargaze, who flew in the distance. 'If these two could help us, we would have no problem taking out Yun Yiyuan… but… what can we do by ourselves?'

　　"He's a man of his word…" "Big Beard said with respect.

　　"Who are you calling a man? I hate it when people say that!" Sai Gao suddenly complained. He stood up and looked at the distance, his expression gradually stiffening.

　　"He's coming…" Stargaze frowned.

　　A flash of light later, and Yun Yiyuan landed on top of a giant boulder nearby. He looked at Sai Gao, and then at Li Yiming's friends with a confident smile.

　　"What's the meaning of all of this?" Yun Yiyuan said as he removed his sungla.s.ses.

　　"You came quickly enough. And I thought that you were going to be late." Sai Gao chuckled.

　　"You were all waiting for me?"

　　"To be correct, only I am waiting for you."
