Ye Lan was preparing things on the deck at the moment. Hearing this, he shook his head and asked Liu Zhixiong, "Is this ship durable?"
"Ah?" Liu Zhixiong opened his mouth, a little confused.
Ye Lan explained to him in detail: "It's about the earthquake resistance level of heavy objects hitting it, the safety index of the drainage system, and the endurance of the door and window glass."
"Ah, this, this..." Liu Zhixiong was confused by the question. To avoid looking like a mentally retarded person, he quickly went to the cabin and pulled the old captain out. "Ms. Ye, he must understand!"
The old captain was an old man from the dock area. He had been working on ships for a lifetime and was very experienced. After hearing Ye Lan repeat the question, he laughed cheerfully and said, "I didn't expect there are still young people who understand these things nowadays. But miss, don't worry. This cruise ship was purchased from Russia by Boss Liu at a high price. Aside from some parts being replaced due to aging, it's basically no different from an aircraft carrier. There are even two cannon barrels hidden in the cabin."
Ye Lan patted the railing, feeling that the material beneath his hand was indeed special. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "When we get there, all of you must lock the hatch tightly and don't come out."
These words were said to Liu Zhixiong.
Liu Zhixiong hesitated and said in a negotiating tone, "Actually, the masters of the Xuanmen Association are also very capable. Last time, they just couldn't find the sea monster. If Miss Ye can lure the monster out later, the monks on the ship and the people in the association can help."
"No." Ye Lan refused without hesitation, and said with a sidelong glance at him, "My method must be kept secret, otherwise I will have to pay more."
Liu Zhixiong's eyes lit up when he heard this, "How much?"
The last thing he lacks is money.
Ye Lan didn't even raise his eyelids, "One time."
hiss.
Liu Zhixiong suddenly took a breath of cold air.
You know, the starting reward amount on the X forum is not low. When he posted, he gritted his teeth and paid the cheapest amount.
Later, the big guy who was ranked first on the list took the order, and according to the minimum consumption system for each level, the amount was raised a hundred times. The pain was so severe that he couldn't sleep for several nights.
But in order to get attention, Liu Zhixiong gritted his teeth and endured it.
Now it has to double again, which will really kill him.
"Haha, Miss Ye, you are busy. Goodbye, Miss Ye." Without saying anything, he immediately bowed and nodded, and rolled away quickly.
Wu Heng sneered at the side and continued to put the things in the bag on the table. In fact, what he prepared were just ordinary things for exorcising evil spirits and catching monsters, such as peach wood sword, glutinous rice and talismans.
He knew Ye Lan was just fooling people, but he still didn't quite understand. "These things don't have much of an effect on us. It's better to use the inner energy to transform the void into a talisman. Why waste time preparing them?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lan put away the peach wood sword and said calmly, "Things are different now. I used to be number one in the world, but now all kinds of demons are stronger than me. I prepared these for emergencies. As long as they are used properly, they can play a significant role."
In just seven years, she fell from being a favored child of heaven to the altar, and she couldn't even show up at the sect's marriage-recruiting meeting.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have lost his temper and become full of self-pity.
But Ye Lan didn't.
She calmly accepted the reality, quickly adjusted her approach, and continued to use her best abilities to solve historical problems.
Wu Heng pursed his lips and watched her do all this, feeling only proud and distressed.
Since the day he met Ye Lan, she has always been his role model. He has been able to shoulder the responsibility and support the Pharmacist Sect over the years because of her words and deeds, and inherited her sense of responsibility and commitment.
But on the other hand, he actually didn't want her to work so hard. Even with the support of a big sect, she was still like a lone ranger, wandering in the dark areas of the world, struggling hard. No one remembered how many injuries she had suffered and how much suffering she had endured.
"Ye Lan." Wu Heng suddenly called her, mustering up the courage to ask, "Can you, let me take care of you?"
The young man's voice was clear, a little tense due to nervousness.
"Huh?" Ye Lan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head towards the sea breeze, narrowing his eyes slightly as he asked, "Are you thinking of taking care of me in my old age so soon?"
Wu Heng was silent for a moment. Just as he was about to explain, he saw Ye Lan had already turned her head and said towards the vast ocean, "If you like, you can call me Senior Sister."
Among the disciples of the Xianshan lineage who are still alive, only Ye Lan and Wu Heng are left.
In recent years, the relationship between Wu Heng and his master has eased a lot, and Ye Lan also likes this little junior brother very much. It is a good thing to have someone to accompany him on the road of cultivation.
“…” Wu Heng fell into deep silence.
He could understand what Ye Lan meant, and he probably guessed that the other party did not have that kind of feelings, but he was just unwilling to give in.
However, the person before him was so wonderful that he could not bear to take even the slightest risk, and in the end, only two words fell lightly on the deck.
"Senior Sister."
Having successfully accepted a junior fellow apprentice, Ye Lan was in a very happy mood, with the corners of his lips rising slightly.
The two of them were on the deck, enjoying the breeze and exchanging their experiences in cultivation while waiting for the sea to approach.
Inside the cabin, through the highly clear glass, Xiao Yunting stared at the backs of the two people outside who were chatting and laughing, with a dark look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Qu Yueqing, who was sitting next to him, felt aggrieved and wanted to cry again, but then she realized something and immediately pinched her palm with her nails, forcibly suppressing the impulse, with only a cold expression on her face.
The rest of the people in the cabin seemed to be drinking, chatting and having fun, but in fact their eyes were always focused on the splint.
"Boss Liu, we came here just to watch the fun. Now we're sitting here and can't see anything. How boring."
"Yeah, I think that pretty girl outside is definitely not a fortune teller. The people from the dark web didn't follow us all the way. She must be just one of their minions."
"Besides, we have so many experts here, how can their combined strength be less than hers alone? Don't you want to deal with the sea monster as soon as possible? Isn't it good for us to help you for free?"
…
Everyone started to persuade Liu Zhixiong.
Liu Zhixiong was already weak-willed, and now he was even more wavering.
Seeing this, several veteran business people immediately stood up and said, "I won't make it difficult for you, Boss Liu. I wanted to leave this business on my own. You can't be blamed."
As they spoke, several people led the bodyguards out, and when they reached the door, they pulled open a heavy and sturdy sealed titanium alloy hatch.
On the deck, Ye Lan heard the noise, turned around and saw several wealthy businessmen coming out with bodyguards, and immediately frowned.
Liu Zhixiong hid in the crowd, lowered his head and did not dare to look her in the eye.
Ye Lan understood and said nothing more.
Wu Heng snorted coldly and said bluntly: "It's hard to persuade the damned ghost with kind words. Don't drag us back if we encounter any danger later."
In a word, he offended everyone.
These wealthy businessmen were all prominent figures. They had originally intended to speak politely and greet them with smiles, but upon hearing this, their expressions turned cold and they sarcastically said, "Don't worry, we have the association and so many experts here. If things really get out of hand, we might be able to help you two. After all, we are kind-hearted, unlike you guys."
Wu Heng didn't believe him and turned his head away with a pout, not saying anything.
At this moment, the cruise ship suddenly stopped.
Liu Zhixiong was startled and looked into the cockpit, "Didn't they say it would take more than ten minutes to arrive?"
