The next morning, sunlight shone through thin clouds.
It was already noon, and Chen Yan and the other eight people, along with Shen Huai and Qing Wu, had arrived outside the tent early, quietly waiting for Qu Su to appear.
At this time, Fu Hongxue was also standing outside the tent. He came to see Chen Yan and his group off.
"Be careful on the road." Fu Hongxue warned, and after a pause, he took out a communication crystal from the storage space, hesitated for a few seconds, and then handed it to Chen Yan.
"If there is anything in the future, you can contact me by message."
Chen Yan lowered her eyes to take a look, but instead of refusing, she accepted it.
"Okay, Brother Fu."
"Senior Brother Fu, take care of yourself." At this time, Wen Yuchu and others also spoke.
Fu Hongxue heard everyone's words of concern, and nodded slightly in response.
At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps was heard.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Qu Su slowly walking out of a tent in the distance.
When Qu Su's sight fell on Chen Yan and the others, he was obviously stunned, as if he had not expected them to come so early.
But soon, he came to his senses and walked quickly towards this side.
"Are you ready to leave?"
Chen Yan replied: "It's ready."
Qu Su nodded and said goodbye to Fu Hongxue.
After saying goodbye, Qu Su said to Chen Yan and his group, "Then let's leave."
"good."
A group of people walked out of the camp.
Qu Su did not summon his sword immediately this time. Instead, he looked in the direction of Chen Yan and the others and said, "I wonder if I can go with you?"
His attitude this time was obviously a little too humble.
Chen Yan and his friends looked at each other with rather subtle expressions.
"Yes, Senior Brother Qu, please board our spirit boat." Yu Changying said with a smile as he summoned a spirit boat.
Qu Su's gaze slowly fell on Zhuge Youlin, and then he nodded, "Thank you."
Zhuge Youlin, who was looked at a little more, said: "..." Is he targeting him?
After Chen Yan and the others boarded the spirit boat one after another, they found a good seat and sat down.
This time, considering that Qingwu's injuries have not yet healed, if Yu Changying is allowed to drive the spirit boat forward at full speed as before, Qingwu's current weak physical condition may not be able to withstand the severe bumps and vibrations.
Therefore, they decided to let Xiao Zechuan control the spirit boat and try to maintain a steady and slow speed.
Under Xiao Zechuan's control, the spirit boat floated forward leisurely like a light feather.
Qu Su, who had been mentally prepared for this journey, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that the spirit boat was moving at such a slow speed.
He turned around, looked at the others in confusion, and asked, "Why... is the march so slow this time?"
Pei Su replied, "I'm truly sorry, Senior Brother Qu. Our good friend Qing Wu is injured and needs to recuperate, so we can't allow the spirit boat to be too bumpy. I hope you can understand."
Upon hearing this, Qu Su shifted his gaze to the handsome young man in the green Taoist robe.
The boy's face was pale and he looked extremely weak.
Qingwu seemed to notice Qu Su's gaze and looked up.
As soon as the two looked at each other, Qu Su felt uncomfortable all over and avoided looking away guiltily.
Qingwu recognized the other person's eyes and remembered the marriage he had calculated for Qu Su yesterday.
Qingwu immediately smiled at him.
Qu Su caught a glimpse of his kind smile from the corner of his eye, was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
At this time, Zhuge Youlin asked curiously, "Qingwu, do you know Senior Brother Qu? Did he also ask you for a fortune-teller yesterday?"
Qu Su's pupils shrank slightly and his whole body tensed up. He secretly prayed that Qing Wu would keep his mouth shut and not tell anyone.
Just as Qu Su was filled with anxiety, Zhuge Youlin suddenly seemed to remember something. He slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot. You are deaf now and can't hear."
"Deaf?" Qu Su was stunned.
Jiang Xianyue answered first, "It's like this, Senior Brother Qu. Yesterday, he was telling fortunes for someone else and revealed a secret, so he suffered backlash."
"It's so serious..." Qu Su couldn't help but frown, a hint of worry in his eyes. He knew that revealing the secrets of heaven was a serious matter and would often bring extremely serious consequences.
Pei Su said, "Brother Qu, if you have anything to say, you can write it down and convey it to Qingwu."
When Qu Su heard this, he laughed dryly and said, "Not really."
…
About half a day passed.
It’s still far from Taipu Mountain.
Chen Yan observed Qing Wu's condition almost all the time, hoping that he was okay.
And Shen Huai on the side pursed his lips.
Suddenly, Chen Yan looked at him sideways and said, "Ah Huai, I have something to tell you. Next, I will go to the area mentioned by Qing Wu with Yu Chu and the others to search for Feng Xingyao's soul fragments. Do you want to stay in Taipu Mountain, or come with us?"
"I went to Taipu Mountain for my sister. Wherever my sister goes, I will go." Shen Huai raised his eyes and stared into Shen Yan's eyes, saying in a serious tone.
Chen Yan looked at him quietly for a few seconds and replied, "Okay."
"Staying by my sister's side will make her feel more at ease."
"Okay." A smile spread across Shen Huai's lips.
Suddenly, Chen Yan seemed to realize something. She narrowed her eyes, her gaze became sharp in an instant, and she stood up quickly.
Her eyes quickly swept towards a certain direction in the distance.
Almost at the same time, a low and rapid shout suddenly rang out—
"Enemy attack!"
This cry was like thunderclap out of the blue, causing all the people who were originally sitting on the deck, except Qingwu, to stand up vigilantly.
They quickly looked around and saw a large group of mysterious people in black emerging from the front.
These men in black were swift and agile, exuding a chilling and dangerous aura. As soon as they appeared, they launched a fierce attack directly towards the location of the spirit boat.
"Defend!" Qu Su's voice, like a resounding bell, rang out again. A flash of light appeared in his hand, transforming into a long sword gleaming with cold light. He leaped onto the edge of the boat like a flying swallow, brandishing the sword like a dragon emerging from the sea.
boom--
An extremely powerful sword blade was instantly unleashed!
It collided fiercely with the opponent's attack, making a loud noise.
At this moment, Chen Yan quickly turned around and said to Shen Huai in a deep voice: "Ah Huai, stay on the spirit boat and protect Qing Wu!"
Before Shen Huai could respond, Chen Yan and his eight companions flashed out in tacit understanding and stood guard around the spirit boat.
Qingwu also noticed that the situation was unusual, and he stood up tremblingly.
Shen Huai's expression was stern. He reached out and pulled Qing Wu, protecting him behind him. At the same time, he gestured to him to follow him closely.
Suddenly, an extremely arrogant laugh was heard.
"Young Master..."
"It's been a long time since I dismembered someone!"
