Xu Yuehuai sensed a hint of resentment in his tone and immediately retorted, "Don't talk nonsense here. I didn't mean that. You're just making wild guesses about my thoughts."
Qi Guze knew it was impossible, but he just wanted to tease her, "So, will you still leave later?"
This is the issue that Xu Yuehuai is most concerned about.
To be honest, Qi Guze certainly didn't want to leave, but he was afraid that staying by Xu Yuehuai's side would bring her greater danger. "Yes, but don't worry, I'll finish dealing with things upstairs as quickly as possible and then come find you."
...
On the second floor, there is a place called Ruins. That place was left behind during the war between immortals, demons, monsters, and humans in ancient times. It contains terrifying energy, and a slight mistake can lead to annihilation. At the same time, many immortals, demons, monsters, and humans live there. Most of them survived the war and settled down in that place.
That place was something those people were already used to. The atmosphere and turbulent currents within it had no impact on their lives. They thrived there and built a new civilization. The ruins were the path to the first level, where the dangers were far greater than what they had encountered. The ruins were insignificant compared to the dangers of the upper realm.
Many people spend their entire lives trying to get past this ruin, and even those who manage to get to the first floor find it difficult to come down. The purpose of this ruin is to separate the two places, so that no chaotic fighting can occur.
This would prevent people on the first floor from easily coming down and disrupting the peace on the second and third floors.
The group of people who came to the second floor last time to try and steal things from Wei Shengliu were all highly skilled, but when they came down there there were fifteen of them, and ten of them were lost in the ruins.
Qi Guze wouldn't reveal any of this to Xu Yuehuai. He would naturally tell her how dangerous it was inside when she was about to go to the ruins. Telling her now would only make Xu Yuehuai stop him from seeing her.
...
There was a rumbling sound in the sky. Xu Yuehuai looked up, puzzled, and saw several large and luxurious spaceships directly in front of her. Even the hulls were inlaid with diamonds. Xu Yuehuai clicked her tongue and discussed with Qi Guze next to her, "These people are really rich. The outside of these ships is inlaid with diamonds. They are simply outrageously wealthy."
"Envious? I prefer to keep a low profile, but if you like this style, I can get one for you too." Qi Guze wasn't going to back down. He wasn't a stingy man, and he couldn't let Xu Yuehuai envy others.
Xu Yuehuai looked at Qi Guze as if he were an idiot, "You just need to give me the money, don't go through all this fancy stuff, it's a waste."
What Qi Guze heard was: If you have money, you have to give it all to me for safekeeping, and you're not allowed to go out and fool around.
Qi Guze nodded obediently.
As they continued walking forward, the spirit boat unexpectedly stopped right in front of them. Xu Yuehuai looked at the spirit boat in front of her and suddenly lost her enthusiasm. She would have to walk a little further to get around it.
Before they could act, several people disembarked from the spirit boat. The elderly man at the head of the group, leaning on a cane with a kind face, stopped Xu Yuehuai when he saw him about to leave, saying, "Young friend, please wait."
Hearing the sound, Xu Yuehuai turned around and saw the old man walking towards them. Xu Yuehuai raised an eyebrow and smiled. When the old man was about to reach Xu Yuehuai, he said, "I am from the Sheng family of Cangwu City. I have come here specifically to see you, young friend. Would you have time to visit Cangwu City?"
Qi Guze's eyes flashed with wariness and displeasure as he looked at the person who had interrupted his date with Xu Yuehuai. Old Master Sheng noticed the young man standing beside him and instantly guessed his identity. "I suppose this handsome young man is your partner? Why don't we go and wait in Cangwu City for a while?"
"The Zhentian Clan happens to be in Cangwu City. Young friend, wouldn't you like to go and see what the Zhentian Clan is like now?" As soon as Old Master Sheng mentioned this, Xu Yuehuai realized that he had probably heard about what she had done a few months ago and wanted to invite her to be his guest.
After thinking about it for a moment, she thought it was a good idea. She looked at Qi Guze standing to the side. Qi Guze's expression wasn't good, but the moment he met Xu Yuehuai's eyes, his expression changed instantly. "If you want to go, let's go. We can just go for a walk."
Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Xu Yuehuai smiled and said to Mr. Sheng, "Then I'm sorry to have troubled you along the way, Mr. Sheng."
Standing next to the old man was a slightly younger elderly man. Judging from his clothes, he was probably a butler or something similar. After they agreed, the man introduced himself, "I am the butler of the Sheng family. However, I am retired now. Now, all I do every day is follow Old Master Sheng around. I can't do anything else."
"Girl, you can call me Uncle Chen." The group chatted and laughed as they walked towards the spirit boat. Xu Yuehuai was infected by the atmosphere and smiled slightly. After boarding the spirit boat...
Xu Yuehuai glanced at the scenery outside, which flashed by. She couldn't feel a breath of wind on the spirit boat. This is what it means to be rich! The facilities and comfort are truly amazing!
Old Master Sheng led Xu Yuehuai to sit at another table and chairs. The tea set had already been set out, just waiting for Xu Yuehuai to sit down. After she sat down, Old Master Sheng poured her a cup of tea.
"Try it. I don't know if you like tea. There are also various kinds of food prepared on this spirit boat, but the variety is not very large. They are all listed in this booklet. If there is anything you like that you didn't get to try, after we get off the spirit boat, I will take you around Cangwu City." Elder Sheng's eyes were full of admiration. Such a young girl had actually managed to defeat the Demon Lord all by herself. Her courage was truly commendable. Her actions protected the entire second floor and deserved everyone's respect.
No one knows exactly what the scene was like, but everyone who went to see it was shocked. There were pits everywhere, huge pits, making it look like a place that had been abandoned for a long time. In fact, there was still a lot of spiritual energy left in those pits. Some people who accidentally entered were injured instantly.
The venue for the usual competition has now been sealed off and will never be used again. This place is where the disaster almost started and where everyone's resentment resides.
Xu Yuehuai reached out and took the booklet. It was much thicker than she had imagined. As soon as she opened it, a stack in the middle fell to the ground. Even with her arms outstretched, she couldn't see the top of it. Only then did she realize that Elder Sheng had really put his heart into entertaining her, probably by bringing all the edible things onto the spirit boat.
