In the City Lord's Mansion of Xuanyang City, Yun Peixue excitedly held Zhang Miaomiao's hand, and Zhang Miaomiao's face was also full of joy. The two chattered non-stop and glanced at Jiang Yun from time to time.
Jiang Yun didn't feel embarrassed and just drank his tea. The tea in the City Lord's Mansion tasted quite good. It had a unique flavor.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang Yun, you've worked hard on this journey. Thank you for escorting Miaomiao all the way here."
Yun Peixue and Zhang Miaomiao whispered for a long time before coming to Jiang Yun, bowed lightly and said.
"I don't deserve it. It's all entrusted by Senior Haoyi."
Jiang Yun also stood up and spoke. He sent Zhang Miaomiao here because he wanted to come here, and because they had a good relationship, and Master Haoyi also gave him a reward.
"I wonder if you know the whereabouts of Master Haoyi."
Jiang Yun shook his head after hearing this. When he left, Ziyang City hadn't been conquered yet. Then the other party asked about Jiang Yun's plans. From the other party's question, Jiang Yun knew that Zhang Miaomiao was somewhat interested in staying here.
"I'm going to Bibo Island."
"I heard that your sister is the famous Fairy Qiuyue."
Jiang Yun hadn't expected his sister to be so well-known in the East China Sea's immortal cultivation world. He immediately nodded in agreement. After all, Zhang Miaomiao knew his origins.
"Great, I also want to go to Bibo Island to have a look."
Who knew that Yun Peixue became excited when she heard this. Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment, and when he didn't know whether to agree or disagree, he suddenly heard a loud voice coming from behind him.
"No, Bibo Island is the territory of Biyun Sect. As the daughter of the master of Xuanyang Island, how can you run around like that?"
Jiang Yun turned and spotted a tall, middle-aged male cultivator with a sharp, angular face and a black mole on his forehead that looked like a third eye. He was dressed in a purple robe embroidered with a large sun, the attire of a Ziyang Sect elder. This man must be Yun Peixue's father, Master Yun Ming.
"I've seen the real person!"
"Meet Uncle Yun!"
Jiang Yun and Zhang Miaomiao bowed respectfully and spoke at the same time. Master Yunming nodded, his face expressionless, and walked straight past Jiang Yun to sit at the head of the table.
"Please send my friend's daughter here. If you want to stay here, we welcome you to Xuanyang Island. But as your niece, I have to see what she thinks."
Jiang Yun nodded and said:
"I have no intention of forcing Miss Miaomiao. Originally, it was because Master Haoyi was at odds with some elders of the Ziyang Sect, and since Ziyang City had been destroyed, I was afraid that the sect would vent its anger on Miaomiao. That's why I planned to take her to Bibo Island. Now that Master Haoyi is a good friend of Master Haoyi, I will give the choice to Miss Miaomiao."
Jiang Yun's words were well-reasoned. On the one hand, he explained why he did not bring the other party to the Ziyang Sect's territory, and on the other hand, he respected Zhang Miaomiao's choice.
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Peixue looked at Zhang Miaomiao with enthusiasm. She usually felt lonely here and also wanted to be with a good friend from childhood.
"This..." Zhang Miaomiao was a little torn. She actually wanted to continue to be with Jiang Yun. Although he had felt a little boring recently, she knew that Jiang Yun was a good person. But she also wanted to stay here. At least there were friends she knew, and her father's friends. If her father really came to the East China Sea, Xuanyang City would definitely come.
Thinking of this, Zhang Miaomiao stopped worrying. She looked at Jiang Yun and said slowly:
"Brother Jiang Yun, thank you for your care along the way. I will wait in Xuanyang City for my father to come to the East China Sea."
Jiang Yun was not surprised after hearing this. He actually already knew that Zhang Miaomiao had made a judgment. This was good, and he could practice with peace of mind.
"Okay, I'll be on Bibo Island, waiting for the opportunity to seize the island. If you want to find me, you're welcome anytime."
Yun Peixue then took charge and had her personal chef prepare some Xuanyang Island specialties for the other party. This reflected the different lifestyles of the cultivators.
Master Haoyi lived a simple life, seemingly impoverished to outsiders. He loved to drink ordinary tea. Consequently, Zhang Miaomiao also grew up in poverty, while Yun Peixue was raised as a daughter.
After the banquet, Jiang Yun said goodbye and prepared to return to the inn, but Yun Peixue firmly refused and asked the servants to arrange a nice courtyard for him to live in. She and Zhang Miaomiao started shopping in Xuanyang City.
Soon the third day arrived. As the ship was about to depart, Jiang Yun prepared to leave.
Zhang Miaomiao and Yun Peixue came to the port in person to see them off.
"Brother Jiang Yun, remember to look for me when you come to Xuanyang City!"
Zhang Miaomiao looked at Jiang Yun who was boarding the ship and shouted loudly. She had mixed feelings in her heart. She had been with Jiang Yun for so long. Although they were just friends and their relationship had not gone deeper, she gradually became more and more dependent on him.
"Okay, when you get to Bi Bo Island, remember to look for me. Just look for my sister!"
As soon as Jiang Yun finished speaking, the drums were struck, signaling the merchant ship to set sail.
Looking at the merchant brother getting farther and farther away, Zhang Miaomiao finally couldn't help it and threw herself into Yun Peixue's arms and burst into tears.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, why don't you stay here? Isn't it a wonderful thing to have a beautiful woman by your side?"
Liu Yuan saw the whole scene. He didn't expect that the female cultivator on the boat was actually related to Yun Mingzhen, the master of Xuanyang Island.
"Everyone has their own choices, but at least this time the choice is okay."
Jiang Yun finished speaking and returned to the small room on the second floor of the deck where he lived. From here, he could see the slightly undulating sea, which was split into two huge white waves as the merchant ship moved forward quickly.
This is how life is. No matter how good a relationship is, it will end one day. Only by trying to accept loneliness can you truly overcome loneliness.
The merchant ship continued on its journey, heading west. The easternmost island in the East China Sea was Yunteng Island, while Xuanyang Island was located northeast of Yunteng. Further west, they arrived at Bibo Island.
However, the distance between Xuanyang Island and Bibo Island is roughly twice that of Yunteng to Xuanyang. This voyage will also pass by some islands of scattered cultivators.
This place is located between the Ziyang Sect and the Biyun Sect. Due to the great distance between the two, there is a large power vacuum in between, so many independent cultivators have established their own power. Of course, compared to the power of the sects, it is also much more chaotic.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, I'm afraid we'll be heading to the Dongyu Islands next."
"Dongyu Islands?"
Jiang Yun didn't know much about the specific geography of the East China Sea. He only knew the names of a few large islands. After Liu Yuan's explanation, he realized that this was the name of an archipelago composed of a number of small islands.
As expected, as the merchant ship sped along, a few black dots appeared on the once boundless sea. They had arrived at the Dongyu Islands.
