"Huh, this flying boat seems to have flown out of the princess's mansion."
In an instant, the crowd erupted in commotion. Wen Longxiu and the others exchanged glances. A hint of disappointment flashed in Wen Longxiu's eyes. She had wanted to ask Xiao Jiu some questions, but she had missed her chance.
"It seems we're destined never to see Xiao Jiu again."
"Sister, it's alright. Xiao Jiu will definitely come back again when he has time," Wen Longting comforted her.
“Yes!” Zhenyuan agreed.
"By the way, sister, are you going to help Master Kongchen today?"
Wen Longxiu's eyes flickered slightly, and she responded in a low voice.
——
The airship flew eastward, fast and steady. Hei Xiangling leaned against the railing, looked down, and sighed.
"I never thought I'd be back here again."
Bai Lisha sat to the side and asked in confusion, "How so?"
"That sea area is where I was trapped for 30,000 years. If that brat hadn't fallen into the Liuhai Sea, I'd probably still be sleeping soundly at the bottom of the sea right now."
"By the way, how did Xiao Jiu tame you, a beast that's tens of thousands of years old?"
Upon hearing this, Hei Xiangling's face darkened. She glanced at the girl in red and the man in black not far away and said awkwardly, "This is a long story. I'll tell you another day when I have time!"
"I feel like I have plenty of time right now!"
"I don't!"
"You have!"
"······"
——
Two hours later, the flying boat slowly landed on the sea. The sea was turbulent and the waves were huge, but the flying boat only swayed gently and was not affected at all. Everyone couldn't help but marvel at Feng Che's superb weapon-refining skills.
Ji Jiuying stood at the bow of the boat, gazing into the distance. In front of her was Longtou Mountain, which she had visited before. The wind blew through her hair, and her mind was filled with countless thoughts. Would she really be able to see her mother, whom she had never met before, this time?
"We have now reached the East China Sea."
Ji Jiuying snapped out of her thoughts and turned to look at Murong Zheng: "Murong Zheng, do you have any clues?"
Murong Zheng walked to the foot of the mountain, his deep brown eyes gleaming slightly, and two ears sprouted from his head. After a while, he said, "There is a faint scent, but the wind direction at sea is unpredictable, so I cannot give an accurate direction."
Gong Mingyue's deep voice came: "Leave this matter to me!"
He then looked at Murong Zheng and said coldly, "You only have ten breaths to figure out the direction."
After speaking, he leaped into the air. Gong Mingyue's hands slowly rose, and with his movement, an invisible force spread out, pressing down on the surrounding air. The howling wind gradually stopped.
Everyone watched this scene in shock. The man in mid-air, enveloped by this power, appeared mysterious and majestic, but more like a god who ruled the world. At the same time, they gradually realized that the power of the person in front of them seemed to be extraordinary.
Murong Zheng had no time to appreciate these things; he hadn't forgotten that the man had said he only had ten breaths to determine the direction.
Ten breaths passed quickly, and Gong Mingyue returned to the flying boat. At the same time, Feng Che and the others stepped forward to ask questions.
"So? Can you tell which direction it is?"
Murong Zheng nodded. Although the difference was still subtle, ten breaths was enough for him to determine the correct direction. A palm-sized object resembling a compass appeared in his hand.
"Go around that mountain and keep going."
"good."
The flying boat slowly passed Dragon Head Mountain. Yuehua stood at the bow, looking ahead with unease. A complex expression rose in her heart. Should she feel pain or anger?
When her cold hand was grasped, Yuehua was slightly taken aback.
"Master, are you alright?"
Yuehua shook her head and sighed softly, "I just lament how cruel fate is."
Feng Qingxue had been with Yuehua for ten years, so she naturally knew her character and how to handle things cleanly and efficiently. However, when it came to the Kamakura incident, she would always feel guilty, anxious, and always felt that she had done something wrong.
“Master, don’t be sad. The Kamakura God’s actions were not because you did anything wrong. His betrayal was his personal choice and had nothing to do with you.”
"Master, you don't need to let him cause you pain and anger. Just treat him like an ordinary person."
Feng Qingxue comforted her.
Yuehua was slightly taken aback. Yes, she had even wanted to persuade him to turn back, which was utterly ridiculous.
"I am not as insightful as Qingxue."
"Master, bystanders see things more clearly!"
“My master is so good, she will definitely meet someone who knows how to cherish her,” Feng Qingxue said with a smile.
Yuehua held Feng Qingxue's hand in return and laughed, "I wonder which guy will marry someone as understanding and beautiful as Qingxue."
Feng Qingxue's face flushed slightly, but she glanced at the man in black not far away and said, "Why is Master teasing me?"
Compared to the Moon Goddess, Ji Jiuying was equally uneasy. How would this mother she had never met view her...? What kind of relationship did she have with Kamakura? Or, knowing what Kamakura had done to her, what would her attitude be?
"Mother, what are you daydreaming about?"
Little Phoenix waved her little hand in front of Ji Jiuying's eyes, and Ji Jiuying came back to her senses. She saw Hei Xiangling, Bai Lisha and the others looking at her in confusion.
Why are you all staring at me? What's wrong?
"Mother, what were you thinking about so intently? I called you several times but you didn't hear me."
"Is there?"
The group nodded in agreement.
“Little Ninth Sister.” Feng Qingxue also sat down.
"Sister Wind".
Feng Qingxue's gaze fell on Hei Xiangling, her mind clear as a mirror.
"Little Sister Jiu, I never expected you to be so well hidden. If it weren't for the Heavenly Ladder Tournament, I probably wouldn't even know that Lanxi is you."
"Sister Feng, I had my reasons for using Lanxi's identity in the academy; I didn't mean to hide it from you," Ji Jiuying said with a smile.
"I know everything!"
Ji Jiuying raised an eyebrow: "It seems my second uncle has told you quite a bit."
Seeing Ji Jiuying's meaningful smile, Feng Qingxue froze, unsure of what to say.
"By the way, Sister Feng, didn't Second Uncle go to Sheng Tian Continent? How come you're here with Second Uncle?" Ji Jiuying asked in confusion.
“After you were kidnapped during the Heavenly Ladder Tournament, I went to Shengtian. When I returned with Second Master Feng, we found that the Demon Clan's barrier had been broken. Then Second Master Feng guessed that you were here, so I followed him.”
Feng Qingxue explained, and Ji Jiuying nodded slightly: "I see."
As the group chatted, the flying boat had already passed Dragon Head Mountain. Feng Che was piloting the boat, while Murong Zheng was directing the direction.
Just then, the sky suddenly darkened, and dark clouds pressed down on the sea. The waves on the sea grew to be several stories high, like a giant beast that seemed to want to swallow the flying boat whole. It was terrifying, with huge waves crashing against the flying boat and making angry noises.
