The other two people were also a little embarrassed when they saw this scene. They scratched their heads and then explained, "We were just worried that you wouldn't like it, so we prepared extra. Don't mind."
"I am just an ordinary person. How could I possibly deserve such hospitality from Mr. Sheng? I am flattered." Xu Yuehuai did not show any embarrassment. Instead, she neatly folded the item, put it back, and placed it aside. Her eyes were filled with inquiry. She did not believe that the two people in front of her really had nothing to gain.
"How can you be considered an ordinary person, young friend? If it weren't for you and your friend eliminating this demon lord who wreaked havoc on the world, countless people would have died, the land would have been devastated, and not a blade of grass would have grown. Everywhere you can see and hear now would be engulfed in smoke and fire. Such an achievement is beyond our reach." When Elder Sheng said this, his eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at Xu Yuehuai. There was no pretense or acting in his gaze.
In that instant, Xu Yuehuai realized just how earth-shattering her actions had been. She had narrowly escaped death; to those on the first level, this Demon Lord might not be a threat, but to those on the second level, it was a catastrophe. Xu Yuehuai fell silent for a moment.
Qi Guze knew what she wanted to say and interrupted her before she could speak: "These things are obvious to everyone. If it weren't for all the sect disciples helping to weaken the Demon Lord at the beginning, she might not have been so successful. So there's no need to be polite. Everyone has contributed to this great battle."
His words put an end to Xu Yuehuai's desire to attribute the credit to him. If it were just her alone, she wouldn't care. The power was lent to her by Qi Guze, so in that sense, it was Qi Guze who saved everyone, not her.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Sheng's admiration for Xu Yuehuai deepened. He nodded, as if he hadn't misjudged her, leaving Xu Yuehuai at a loss for words.
As dusk fell, Elder Sheng prepared a sumptuous feast on the spirit boat to entertain the two of them. No one spoke while eating, except for the occasional chuckle from Elder Sheng who would serve food to Xu Yuehuai. Xu Yuehuai did not refuse the old man's kindness.
After finishing their meal, the group returned to their cabin to rest. Old Sheng, who had also been through his youth, noticed when they boarded the ship that the two were reluctant to part, so he combined the two rooms that had been prepared into one.
After they returned to their room, Uncle Shen stood beside Old Master Sheng, a hint of joy in his eyes. "Master, what do you think of them?"
"Good character, a good child," Old Master Sheng said candidly. He genuinely liked Xu Yuehuai, and his visit wasn't just about this small matter, but also...
...
Back in the room, Xu Yuehuai sat down in a chair and looked at Qi Guze opposite her. "Why won't you let me speak?"
Qi Guze knew it was time to confront Xu Yuehuai, so he didn't shy away. He sat down opposite her and said, "This is your achievement, and I don't want anyone to steal your credit. With this, your days on the second floor will be much easier, and I can feel more at ease."
"Besides, I didn't do anything, so this credit doesn't belong to me."
“But I used your spiritual power, your strength, not mine.”
"Xu Yuehuai, remember this: you are the one who defeated the Demon Lord, and you are the one who was injured. I was merely a vessel, simply lending you something. This can only be considered a grudge between the two of us, and it has nothing to do with me in this great battle." Qi Guze's expression was serious and unquestionable, and Xu Yuehuai looked into his eyes.
He turned his head away without answering, but he was already convinced.
Qi Guze awkwardly walked to Xu Yuehuai's side, hugged her, and rubbed against her body to warm her. "This old man is not bad. He probably wants to befriend you so that he can have a good reputation in the future. Be bold and don't be afraid."
Qi Guze has grown too fast, so fast that his strength is now enough to destroy the world on this second level, but he has not done so.
She simply accompanied Xu Yuehuai as they walked forward step by step.
While lying in bed, Qi Guze kept fidgeting, and Xu Yuehuai couldn't stand it any longer and sat up in bed. "Are you an insect? What are you doing twisting and turning like that?"
Qi Guze failed to seduce her and was even called a bug. For a moment, his expression froze on the spot. He had a look of unhappiness on his lips. The next second, he hugged Xu Yuehuai and said, "I want to hug you."
Xu Yuehuai broke free from him, saying, "You're so hot, stay away from me."
"don't want……"
...
As dawn broke, Zi Sangyi arrived at the scene with her men, only to find no one there. She was astonished that even with their quick arrival, someone had managed to take Xu Yuehuai away before them. "These people are utterly unruly! That's my disciple! My disciple, okay?! They just took my apprentice away without even asking my opinion! It's outrageous!"
Zi Sangyi paced back and forth in the cabin in a fit of anger. The people who also wanted to take Xu Yuehuai away saw Zi Sangyi's anger and guessed what was going on. They quickly turned their spirit boat around to leave, but Zi Sangyi still saw them.
"Don't you people have any disciples of your own?! You're just trying to kidnap my disciple and take her home! You bunch of shameless old people! Investigate! We must find out who took her away!" Zi Sang was furious.
The Fifth Elder stood by with his arms crossed, watching and making sarcastic remarks, "Oh dear, what's going on here? Why doesn't Yue'er even come to see her master after she's back? Tsk tsk tsk!"
Zi Sangyi gave him a disgruntled look.
Before they could find out where Xu Yuehuai had gone, they planned to stay in the west for the time being and see if they could find any clues about Yi Zhuo.
This matter also needs to be put on the agenda.
When they arrived in Cangwu City, it was already two days later. Old Master Sheng was in excellent health. During these two days, he had been chatting enthusiastically with Xu Yuehuai, and the two were like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time.
Uncle Shen watched from the side, following Qi Guze behind the two, wiping away non-existent tears from his face, "Master hasn't been this happy in a long time."
Qi Guze: "..."
These four people stood out on the street. Everyone in Cangwu City knew about Old Master Sheng and Uncle Shen. Xu Yuehuai's portrait was quickly circulated on the second floor in a short time, and no one was unaware of her. As for Qi Guze, he was naturally handsome, and his temperament clearly indicated that he was not an ordinary person.
The four of them walked together, and passersby stared in disbelief. Old Master Sheng ignored them and led Xu Yuehuai into a restaurant. "This restaurant has the most authentic Cangwu City cuisine. What we ate on the spirit boat was not fresh. Today, I must take you to try the food here!"
