While discussing the things they need to prepare for the jade slip’s auction, Wu Xiaotian was eventually greeted by his friends, expressing their intent to join the auction as well, after which they bid their farewell to each other, as the people from their respective forces meant to pick them up already arrives one by one, the number of the people in the area already shrinking as well.
“Ah Tian, I’ll see you around” Wang Sheng simply said as his master pats his back, the two of them disappearing into thin air, shocking the people unaware of the nature of the Shadow Blade Organization.
Meanwhile, Huo Chen just laughed as he waves his hand riding a large fireball, controlling it is an elderly man that appears to look like him, also laughing as if happy to see the young man again.
As for the two ladies from the Astral Ice Sect, they were picked up by a serious-looking beauty, leaving not a single word behind, not even a greeting towards Hua Jingxian next to him.
“I’ll see you again Su Tian, just prepare yourself when that time comes~~~” riding a huge lotus-shaped floating ship, Zi Yu’er teased before it moves at an insane speed, making it look like the ship was never there at all. Join the adventure on freewebnovel
“I’ll find time to go to the auction, I’ll see you there” saying embarrassedly, Feng Qing waves her hand while standing on the back of a giant bird shaped flying ship, the ship leaving a trail of fire as it goes on its way.
“Friend, I hope you can visit my Dao Seeking Mountain sometime” on top of a giant floating sword, Dao Xuanyuan bid his farewell while smiling amiably at him, after which the floating sword moves at an absurd speed as well, whistling as it moves as if it’s cutting the air.
“Young man, looks like you have quite the luck in women” Hua Jingxian said while looking at the way those three departed, nodding his head as if he’s already aware of what’s happening, something he always believed to be something that should’ve happened to him, if not for the lady waiting at him back home.
“You mean the last two? I developed a pretty good bond with them in the competition” Wu Xiaotian replied at the wise-looking man, his appearance extremely confident as if the combination of his foresight and experience in life never fails his predictions.
“Two? Ah yes, those two” Hua Jingxian paused for a bit after he heard Wu Xiaotian’s question, quickly recovering and answering him with a mysterious tone in his voice.
Hearing his answer, Wu Xiaotian starts developing a peculiar suspicion that he couldn’t quite put his fingers on, this doesn’t particularly bother him that much though, so he just let the thought roam around in his mind.
After some more time, he was eventually greeted by the mother and daughter pair that is Li Yan and Hong Lian, their troubled expression making Wu Xiaotian worry about them.
“I heard what happened inside, Lian’er is in quite the trouble because of how she goes against Lei Xing in this trip, so I hope that you can bring her with you” controlling her clone, Li Yan masterfully acted as if she was just made aware of the incidents in the secret realm, her acting even deceiving someone like Hua Jingxian who’s extremely good with reading people, unaware that the one really saying those things is the white-haired lady that just previously arrives beside Wu Xiaotian, someone introduced as the lover of the immortal-like young man.
“Well, she’s a good friend of my daughter so there’s no problem with that, how about you fellow daoist Li?” Hua Jingxian asked as he look at the woman in front of him, applause filling his mind as he appreciates the woman as a parent, placing the good of her daughter above even herself.
“There’s no need to worry about me, I can deal with almost everyone else in that sect” Li Yan’s clone said before bidding her farewell to Hong Lian, the scene more teary than anyone expected. After calming her daughter down, Li Yan controlled the clone to take out a small flying artifact, riding it then controlling it to move towards the direction that the Purple Lightning Temple’s people move.
{You’re really going to do it?} Wu Xiaotian asked the white-haired beauty beside him, prompting the lady to look up at him and smile before replies.
{Mn… I’ll just take the opportunity to come clean about our relationship with my little Lian, then I’ll just fake my death with my clone} Li Yan answered with absolute confidence in her plans, especially when she also casts the Immortal Illusion Technique on her clone, making it harder to see through even with the strength of that person backing Hong Lei.
“Alright, now that you finally bid your farewell, let’s go back as well” Hua Jingxian announced as he takes a small boat out, given that there’s only his daughter and nephew, Ling Feng, that he’s going to pick up, as well as Wu Xiaotian and the two ladies beside him.
Moving inside the small flying boat, Wu Xiaotian was quite surprised seeing the incomparably spacious interior of the artifact, appearing to be a thousand times larger than how it looks outside. As his gaze roams around and explored the structure, he eventually found runes on specific places in the walls, runes that he easily identified to be space related ones.
“Impressive right?” standing beside Wu Xiaotian, Hua Jingxian proudly asked as if bragging about the ride, his pride as if it is something he truly treasures.
“Yeah, it seems like there’s quite a lot of things you could do with this thing Uncle Jingxian, there are all sorts of interesting rune here and there” the immortal-like young man replied, giving examples of what he just said while pointing at some runes and stating its purpose, giving surprise to the middle-aged man as he never expected that the rune mastery of the young man in front of him already reaches a level where he could identify the high-level runes in the flying boat.
“Good, good!!! Seems like my little Xian underestimated you a lot boy!!! We’ll earn much more money than we both initially expected, HAHAHAHA!!!” laughing at he pats the immortal-like young man’s back.
Hua Jingxian continues laughing for a while before he stops himself, informing the young man that he can do anything he want for now, as he will focus to infuse more qi in the flying boat due to his excitement from finding out the talent of the young man in front of him. free𝑤ebnovel.com
‘Let’s rush back and start bragging this brat in front of the elders, HAHAHAHA’ Hua Jingxian thought to himself as he continues infusing his qi, exponentially increasing the speed of the flying boat they’re riding.
Given that an expert of the Ascension Realm is taking the helm of the flying boat, the time on the way doesn’t really last long despite the fact that their destination is literally on the other side of the continent, the boat reaching its destination after just a few hours, with the sun already setting once they arrived.
