An Immortal Realm cultivator who says he was gone a thousand years returns and, at his mother's and Mrs. Sutton's insistence, is assigned as Serena's bodyguard. Serena rejects him, accusing him of lingering childhood feelings; Leo, the vice president, warns him to stay away. At a university run, Leo brags about his car's acceleration and the cultivator improvises to keep up. Police radio a speeding unit and stop vehicle A68523. The driver excuses the speed, then it's revealed not to be a car but a wheelchair driven by Alfred — a shock that stalls everyone and leaves Alfred's purpose unanswered.
