At first, the ship barely moved an inch. But slowly, it started catching up speed. Before Alex could even think of anything to say, the ship started moving at a faster speed than the bullet trains he had been in ever could.
'Holy Sh*t, that is a fast speed. Just how fast is this boat going?' he wondered.
Ma Rong was the one giving orders, while the one actually running the ship was actually an elder who was staying at the bridge of the ship. Ma Rong instructed the elder something and started walking towards Alex.
"So, how are you feeling? Do you think you can handle the b0at? Most people usually vomit when they get on something so fast," Ma Rong said.
"It's fine master, I am perfectly fine," he said. Thankfully, he was used to being on such fast vehicles, Or else he would have gotten dizzy by now.
Ma Rong nodded when she heard this and voluntarily started explaining the origin of the ship.
"This is actually a sect treasure that the sect leader gets to use once in a while if the sect requires it. The boat was made around 40 years ago, and it has been used maybe 100 times at most. "
"It's mostly used to carry around disciples from the sect to a different location and back. If not for this ship, we wouldn't even reach Cardinal City by day after tomorrow," Ma Rong said.
"Hmm… but the small boat you use is also pretty fast master. Maybe not as fast as this, but it shouldn't take more than twice what this one takes right?" he asked.
"Oh, that's not how flying works though. At some point, with small boats, we will exhaust all our Qi and have to rest. While with this boat, it uses True Spirit stones as a power source, so we can fly around non-stop," Ma Rong said.
"Oh, that makes sense," Alex said as he looked around. He looked at the back of the ship, beyond where the different disciples were staying, and asked his master, "What are those rooms? Do we get to stay there?" he asked.
"Of course. Just go into any open room and lock it from inside. It will be yours until you leave," Ma Rong said.
"Can I go there now? Honestly, I'm feeling kind of exhausted after staying up for nearly 3 days. Can I get the rest of the information later?" he said.
"Oh, okay. Sure, go and rest," Ma Rong said. He could hear the concern in her voice.
He nodded to his master and walked towards the back of the ship where the rooms were. Just as he was about to enter the rooms, he heard someone calling him.
"Hey, brother." It was a whisper at best with how quiet the voice was. If not for his acute senses thanks to his body cultivation and Qi Cultivation, he wouldn't even have heard anything.
He looked around and found Wan Li staying behind a crowd of elders as if he was trying to hide or something.
"What's going on?" Alex asked him in his regular voice.
"Sshh Sshh. speak quietly," Wan Li whispered
"What's going on?" Alex asked in a whisper as well.
"You are the sect leader's disciple right?" he asked without any other questions to bridge it. Alex was a little surprised at the sudden question and started to wonder if he wanted to tell him that he was being unfairly treated, just like Zhou Mei.
"Yes, I am the sect Leader's disciple. Nice to meet you," Alex said showing a fake smile, waiting for the obvious question to arrive. Instead what he heard next was truly out of the left field.
"Oh yeah, Hi. I am Wan Li. Brother Yu, can you do me a favor and take me inside the door to the different rooms?" he asked.
Alex surely wasn't expecting this at all. "Take you inside? You want me to carry you?" Alex was a little weirded out by the response.
"No, no. Just hide me while you are going inside. You just need to hide me until I enter the door," Wan Li said.
"Why though?" Alex asked.
"Please brother hurry up. Don't ask any questions or I will get into trouble," Wan Li said.
'Is it so serious?" Alex was a little surprised. "Alright, let's go," he said and stood up. Wan Li hurriedly stood up and hid in front of him as they both walked towards the door.
Wan Li hurriedly opened the door and walked in, closing the door behind him. Alex was surprised at how hurried he was. 'Does he have to go to the bathroom or what?'
"Wanwan, where are you? Wanwan! Come on out and we can play. Oh, Mingming, have you seen Wanwan?" Fan Ruogang suddenly walked up to him and started asking him questions.
"Wanwan? You mean Wan Li?" Alex asked as he got a foreboding of what the answer was.
"Yeah. I have been looking for him but he went somewhere. Doesn't matter now; I found you. Wanna come play with me? It will be fun, I promise!" Fan Ruogang said.
Alex's eyes were wide open as he finally realized what Wan Li was running away from.
"Umm… I have a headache, and I was going to go to sleep for now," Alex tried to lie to get away from her.
"Oh, you have a headache? That's bad. Here take this," she said as she took out a pill from her storage bag. "This pill will help you with your headache. Eat it."
Alex was dumbfounded at what just happened. 'Sh*t. I didn't expect her to take out a pill,' he thought.
"Actually, It's more than just a headache. I haven't slept in a long while and I feel like I am going to faint anytime now. So I really need that sleep. How about I play with you after I come out later?" he said and went inside without even waiting for a response.
Soon, he found an empty room and settled in it. After that, he logged out.
