After his gaze swept over Jellyfish Yin Ji and Lian Xing and the other women, the black-clad, masked man on the deck fixed his eyes on Chu Qinghe.
"However, it is rare that someone with the cultivation of the early stage of the Grandmaster realm could detect my presence."
His voice was old, hoarse, and even carried the air of an eighty- or ninety-year-old man nearing the end of his life.
Upon hearing the tone and voice of the masked man in black, Chu Qinghe also raised an eyebrow.
"That voice sounds pretty old!"
After praising Chu Qinghe, the masked man in black slowly said, "I never expected that the two palace masters of the Yihua Palace in the Great Ming Kingdom would actually come to the Great Song Kingdom."
Upon hearing the first words spoken by the masked man in black, Shui Mu Yin Ji and the other women, including Lian Xing, were all taken aback.
However, before the women could speak, Shuimu Yinji, who was sitting next to Chu Qinghe, suddenly straightened her expression and flicked her long sleeves, instantly becoming aloof and arrogant.
"Ha! Since you knew it was me, you still dared to follow me?"
"Um?"
Upon hearing Shui Mu Yin Ji's words, Lian Xing and even Qu Fei Yan and the other girls looked at Shui Mu Yin Ji in astonishment.
Chu Qinghe, standing beside him, grinned and couldn't help but glance at Shuimu Yinji.
"They've even started acting?"
It must be said that he had spent quite a bit of time with Yaoyue.
At this moment, Shuimu Yinji began to imitate Yaoyue, her demeanor, tone, and even the words she used were exactly the same as Yaoyue's.
In other words, he lacked a certain certain charm.
It lacked the innate aloofness that Yaoyue possessed.
However, the man in black on the deck did not notice the strange expressions on the faces of the women.
When his gaze fell upon the jellyfish-like Yin Ji in front of him, the black-clad, masked man let out a cold laugh from beneath his veil.
"Ha! Although the Yihua Palace is powerful, this is the Great Song Dynasty, not the Great Ming Dynasty. Even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Hasn't Palace Master Yaoyue heard this before?"
As he spoke, the masked man in black glanced at Chu Qinghe and then said, "Hand over that little girl surnamed Wang and the Purple Cloud Silver Leaf Grass in your hand, and I will let you leave."
"I came here for Wang Yuyan and the Purple Cloud Silver Leaf Grass."
Hearing the words of the masked man opposite her, Jellyfish Yin Ji slightly raised her face.
"You've come uninvited, and you want to take someone away with just a few words? Don't you even want to give a reason?"
The masked man in black stood with his hands behind his back and said, "If I were facing a Heavenly Realm expert from your Yihua Palace, I could give you that reason. But you are not qualified."
"If you want to ask me for qualifications, wait until you reach the Celestial Realm!"
Upon hearing the voice, Lianxing's expression darkened slightly, and when she looked at the masked man in black on the deck, her eyes showed some displeasure.
The masked man in black, however, paid no attention to Lianxing's expression.
Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.
At this moment, Chu Qinghe suddenly spoke up: "Now that Senior has revealed himself, why should those who are with Senior continue to hide? Or is Senior so insecure that he feels his mid-stage Celestial Realm cultivation is insufficient to handle us juniors, and therefore needs to arrange for an additional person to launch a sneak attack?"
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe gently fanned himself with a folding fan, a gentle and relaxed smile on his face.
Upon hearing this, both Jellyfish Yin Ji and Lian Xing's expressions turned slightly serious.
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, the masked man in black chuckled and said, "Heh! It's not that I lack confidence, it's just that I feel it's unnecessary. Besides, if I know too much, it might turn into a fight to the death."
Hearing the words of the masked man in black, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "It's not quite a fight to the death, but I'm still uneasy because this friend of the early Grandmaster realm who came with you has been hiding."
"If I lose control and kill him later, it will only lead to a life-or-death struggle. It's better to be frank and honest."
Seeing this, the masked man in black stared intently at Chu Qinghe and asked, "Are you sure?"
Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Of course."
Then, the masked man in black sighed and said, "You can't reason with a damned ghost. There's nothing I can do if you insist on doing this."
After saying this, the masked man in black said slowly, "Come out!"
Almost the instant the voice was uttered, a figure dressed in black and masked, holding a sword in his left hand, leaped up from the left side of the large ship and landed on the deck after a mid-air turn.
However, compared to the old man in the middle stage of the Celestial Realm, the black-clad masked man who appeared later had bright eyes, and the part of his skin that was not covered by the mask was smooth with few wrinkles, so he was obviously younger.
His gaze fell on the man, then he looked at the masked man in black on the deck.
Chu Qinghe raised an eyebrow slightly as his thoughts wandered.
The next second, Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "So it's Young Master Murong and Senior Murong Longcheng. My apologies for my disrespect."
The moment the words left her lips, Jellyfish Yin Ji and Lian Xing, along with the other goddesses, were all stunned for a moment.
They were still unaware of the identities of the two people opposite them.
The old man in black and masked on the deck, as well as the masked man in black who arrived later, both narrowed their eyes, revealing surprise.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Chu Qinghe's face also curled up slightly.
The masked man in black on the deck pulled off his face mask, revealing his aged face.
Upon seeing this, the other man, who was at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm, also tore off his mask.
