The East China Sea is the Black Sea. Like the Five Peaks Mountain, the sea surface seems to be restricted by some kind of barrier, preventing any flying objects from reaching the sky.
But there are always some stubborn people who insist on summoning spirit beasts to ride across the sea, but they are all defeated by an invisible force.
Bang--
A loud bang was heard in the distance, and everyone shook their heads. They wouldn't give up until they hit a brick wall. Sure enough, there were still some people who wouldn't give up!
Before they could even steady themselves, they saw a group of people walking towards them, and Ji Jiu and the others' expressions changed slightly.
The most dazzling one was the girl at the front, who exuded an aura of nobility. Upon seeing Ji Jiuying, her eyes lit up, and she walked towards them at top speed.
Behind him followed a handsome and aloof young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes; that was Murong Yun, the crown prince of the Western Jin Dynasty.
The other was the gentle and serene woman, Princess Murong Jinxiu of the Western Jin Dynasty.
"I didn't expect to run into these annoying people again here," Wen Longting said with a frown, displeased.
"It's alright, with Teacher Feng here, they definitely won't dare to cause trouble," Shen Miaoqing said.
Wen Longting nodded.
Along the way, a group of people followed behind them like stars around the moon, and soon arrived in front of Ji Jiuying and her group.
"My benefactor, what a coincidence! I've run into you again," Murong Ning said with a smile.
Behind her, Murong Yun stared at Ji Jiuying with a half-smile, his burning gaze fixed on her. Ji Jiuying frowned slightly in annoyance.
Shen Miaoqing pursed her lips. What a coincidence! They all set off from here to the East China Sea.
"I wonder if my benefactor has found a ship to set sail?" Murong Ning asked with hopeful eyes.
“Our Grand Elder has already gone to find the boatman, so there’s no need for the Third Princess of Western Jin to trouble herself,” Shen Miaoqing said, standing in front of Ji Jiuying.
Disappointment flashed in Murong Ning's eyes.
"Elder? Are you from Tianmen Mountain?" Murong Ning asked again.
"We wouldn't stoop to be compared to the people of Tianmen Mountain! We are from Star Academy," Shen Miaoqing said disdainfully, thinking of the people from Tianmen Mountain.
No sooner had the words been spoken than the Grand Elder returned, but a look of disappointment flashed across his face, giving everyone a bad feeling.
"Elder, how is it? Have you found the boatman?" Su Mu and Cheng Yue asked as they stepped forward.
The Grand Elder shook his head with an embarrassed expression, and everyone's hearts sank. Were they going to fail here?
Upon seeing this, Murong Ning's eyes flashed with joy, "That's wonderful!"
Everyone's murderous glares shot towards Murong Ning, who awkwardly said, "Uh... I meant everyone can ride in the same boat with us, right, Your Majesty!"
Murong Ning turned to look at Murong Yun with pleading eyes. Murong Yun did not answer her, but smiled and said, "It is an honor to be with the people of Star Academy!"
The crowd exchanged glances, hesitating whether to agree to the Western Jin Crown Prince's request. Ji Jiuying, holding the evil fire, stood aside, ignoring Murong Yun, and instead focused her gaze on the approaching large ship. This ship was different from the others; it was made of floating wood and black iron crystal core, and could withstand even the strongest winds and waves.
Suddenly, the sound of a flute rang out, its melancholy and ethereal quality evoking a unique sentiment. The sound of the waves danced with the music, drawing everyone's attention.
"This ship... is so impressive!"
"It's actually made of black iron crystal combined with floating wood. Who would be so extravagant?"
"..."
Ji Jiuying gazed at the hazy figure on the ship. Through the sea mist, she could almost see the slender, fair hand gently caressing the flute.
The flute music stopped abruptly, and the boat docked at the shore. A man in a black robe appeared in everyone's sight. He had exquisite features and a cool temperament, exuding an aura of aloofness that kept strangers at bay. The jade flute in his hand further accentuated his noble and otherworldly demeanor, making him seem unlike any ordinary person.
Those eyes, as bright as the sun, moon, and stars, lost all their coldness when they looked at Ji Jiuying, replaced by tenderness!
Wen Chuyu's eyes flickered slightly upon seeing this, while Wen Longxiu was sweating bullets for her older brother. If her brother didn't express his feelings soon, Xiao Jiu might be snatched away!
Beside the man stood a woman with a voluptuous figure. She wore a fiery red dress with a low neckline, revealing her slender, jade-like breasts, half-concealed and half-revealed, beneath her long, jade-like neck. Her red lips were slightly upturned, and her beautiful eyes held a smile that was both charming and alluring. She exuded a captivating charm and an indescribable allure.
"Wow, who's that?"
"That man is so handsome, and the beautiful woman beside him is a perfect match for him."
"The people on the ship seem to be from the Wuji Sect! Could these people be from the Wuji Sect?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. If it were the Wuji Sect, it would make sense, since the Wuji Sect specializes in weapon crafting, and this magnificent ship must also be from the Wuji Sect!
Just as Ji Jiuying was about to step forward, a pleasant voice rang out from behind her, and the person deliberately bumped into Ji Jiuying as they passed by.
"Young master, are you also heading to the East Sea? Could you give us a ride?"
Liu Piaopiao gazed at Ye Qingchen with tender affection. Ye Qingchen's exquisite features were outrageous, and his innate aristocratic aura was too much to bear. Coupled with his inherent kingly aura, she decided to shift her focus.
Wen Chuyu is good, but since Ji Jiuying appeared, their relationship has become like that of strangers.
When Ye Qingchen saw someone blocking his way, his eyes turned cold, and he gave her a single word, "Get lost!"
Liu Piaopiao's expression stiffened. She hadn't expected the seemingly gentle man in front of her to speak so coldly, but even so, she didn't intend to give up easily.
"Excuse me, young lady, could you please make way?" Lian Qingcheng said with a smile.
Liu Piaopiao stared at the sexy and fiery young woman before her. Could she be this young master's sweetheart? Dressed like this, she went around seducing men! She truly felt sorry for this man! With displeasure, she asked, "And who are you?"
"I am Lian Qingcheng, the Holy Maiden of the Wuji Sect! What brings you here?"
Lian Qingcheng's tone turned colder, and how could she not sense the hostility in Liu Piaopiao's eyes?
Everyone then realized that the fiery young woman was indeed the Holy Maiden of the Wuji Sect. It was said that the Holy Maiden of the Wuji Sect had an extraordinary relationship with Qi Yeyue Tower, so the man in front of her was very likely the Lord of Qi Yeyue Tower.
Listening to everyone's comments, Liu Piaopiao immediately guessed Ye Qingchen's identity. She bit her red lips and reluctantly walked to the side.
Ye Qingchen didn't even glance at her, and walked past her with an indifferent expression.
Ji Jiuying looked at the man walking straight towards her. He recognized her too? Then all her efforts in dressing up were wasted? But what she didn't know was that no matter how she dressed up, Ye Qingchen could recognize her clear and bright eyes at a glance.
