At this moment, Xiang Sheng's consciousness moved and he looked behind him.
I saw a spirit boat flying from a distance. Although the spirit boat was of low quality, its decoration was quite exquisite.
The aura in the spirit boat was chaotic, and the highest level of cultivation was only at the Jindan stage.
Sensing this, Xiang Sheng flew directly towards the spirit boat.
The people on the spirit boat were already alert when they saw someone blocking the way, and now they saw Xiang Sheng flying straight towards them, which immediately made them even more alert.
Before Xiang Sheng could even reach the boat, a stern voice rang out, "Stop! This is the Yuan family's Lin Ling boat from Xitian City. If you dare to invade, my Yuan family will not show mercy!"
A cultivation family from Xitian City? What a coincidence.
Xiang Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, stopped as he was told, and spoke loudly: "Don't be alarmed, fellow Taoists. I am a casual cultivator, and I was about to go to Xitian City. I am unfamiliar with the place and got lost here.
I wonder if I could follow you on your spirit boat? Once we reach Xitian City, I will leave immediately and not disturb you any further."
When the middle-aged monk leading the group on the spirit boat heard this, he immediately frowned, then turned around and hurried to the room on the top floor of the cabin.
Before he knocked on the door and entered, he saw a woman in a goose yellow dress and a veiled hat walked out, saying as she walked:
"I heard everything that was said outside. Uncle Ling, what do you think?"
"I can't agree to that!"
The middle-aged monk called "Uncle Ling" said firmly, "Miss, that thing is of great importance. Although we are acting in secret, there is no wall that is impenetrable.
What if the female cultivator outside is not interested in wine but is a spy from some faction? If we let her follow us, the risk would be too great."
The woman in yellow nodded slightly without saying anything. She walked to the edge of the deck and looked down through the veil with a pair of sharp eyes.
Outside the spirit boat, Xiang Sheng felt a hidden gaze falling on him, and immediately looked back.
The woman in yellow was startled and quickly looked away.
He's just a casual cultivator in the early stage of Jindan, yet his perception is so sharp...
And she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the other person's breath was very familiar, making her want to get closer.
She touched the corners of her eyes, pondered for a moment, turned around and said, "Uncle Ling, invite her on board."
"Okay, I'll drive her away right now..."
The middle-aged monk was halfway through his words when his eyes suddenly widened. "Miss, what did you say?"
A moment later, the middle-aged monk, with a sullen face, brought Xiang Sheng to the Lingzhou reception room, then stood aside, staring at Xiang Sheng.
He had clearly explained the interests involved.
But the eldest lady still wanted to invite people on board, which was really reckless.
As a subordinate, he could only bring people on board.
But if the other party makes any unusual moves, he will disobey orders and take action without hesitation, even if he is punished afterwards.
Xiang Sheng couldn't hear what the middle-aged monk was thinking, but he could tell a thing or two from his gloomy face.
She was also surprised.
When monks travel outside, murder and theft are common, so it is normal for them to be wary of each other.
She originally just wanted to follow behind the spirit boat, but she never expected that the owner of the boat would directly invite her on board. Wasn't he afraid of inviting a wolf into the house?
Her thoughts turned, and soon, a woman in yellow came out from behind the screen in the back room. The veil on her head disappeared, revealing a beautiful face.
This face is naturally well-behaved, but a pair of upright golden pupils embedded in the eye sockets make the well-behaved look become coquettish, pure and charming.
The middle-aged monk was horrified, "Miss, why did you take off your veil?!"
The yellow-robed woman ignored the middle-aged monk and instead said to Sheng, "My name is Yuan Jing. I am the only daughter of the Yuan family in Xitian City. May I know your surname?"
Xiang Sheng looked at the yellow-shirted woman for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "No need to tell me your surname, Li."
The middle-aged cultivator flew into a rage upon hearing these four words. "You, a casual cultivator, are so rude! My young lady has already given me her full name, yet you only gave me her surname. You..."
"Uncle Ling."
Yuan Jing interrupted the middle-aged monk with a faint voice.
When the middle-aged monk saw his young lady's expression, he knew that she was angry and immediately shut up.
Yuan Jing then regained her smile and apologized, "Fellow Daoist Li, this is my instructor, Lingshan.
Uncle Ling taught me cultivation since I was young. Although he is a subordinate in the family, he is no different from a family member to me.
He is also worried and confused, please don't blame me, fellow Taoist."
Xiang Sheng shook his head and chuckled, "It's just a small matter, I won't take it to heart, Miss Yuan, don't take it too seriously."
After these words were spoken, Ling Shan's sullen face suddenly softened, but at the same time, he felt even more strange in his heart.
The eldest lady is kind to others, but she is actually proud in her heart. Why is she so polite to a female cultivator whom she has never met before?
He was still puzzled. Yuan Jing laughed again, "Fellow Daoist Li is truly broad-minded. It will take another day for the spirit boat to reach Xitian City."
All the cultivators on the Spirit Boat are male, and I am the only female. The journey is boring, so why don’t you rest here? I will have someone to chat with.”
Xiang Sheng's eyes gleamed slightly, but on the surface he was obedient: "Miss Yuan, since you are so kind, I will respectfully obey your command."
When Yuan Jing heard this, she smiled even more happily, "Uncle Ling, go and arrange a room for Fellow Daoist Li. Let him live next door to me."
Ling Shan nodded, then walked to Xiang Sheng and snorted coldly: "Come with me."
Xiang Sheng smiled faintly and said, "Please lead the way."
…
As the owner of the spiritual boat, Yuan Jing's room is naturally the best, and the room next door is not much worse. The furnishings in the house are quite exquisite, revealing the family heritage everywhere.
After taking a quick look at Xiang Sheng, he withdrew his gaze and sat down on the couch.
Thinking of Yuan Jing's obvious temptation, she couldn't help but smile.
