Seeing the old man pointing his nose in surprise, Yang Zhen pressed his hand down: Its you, fellow villager. You look all flustered. I guess something urgent came up, likelooking for someone?
The mans face frozen, he quickly pulled his hand away from Yang Zhen, laughed meaningfully, and said, Yes, yes, yes, I came here to find someone, but now I dont feel like looking anymore.
Yang Zhen jolted: You cant do this, fellow villager. How could you give up halfway? Maybe, for the person youre looking for, this could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What if you miss unveiling a rare talent wouldnt it be such a pity?
The man sighed, Well, a rare talent Im not so sure. Even if I go now, he might not be willing to see me.
Yang Zhen pondered for a while, In that case, that person must have their own ideas. Still, fellow villager, dont be discouraged. You have to believe in yourself. Youre the best and, whatnot. Fellow villager, could you tell us how to get to our destination? Were pretty pressed for time.
The man laughed heartily, pointing to the northeast and said, Three days . travel in this direction will get you to East Forest Island. Boy, enjoy your trip. Thanks, fellow villager! Yang Zhen laughed and saluted him; then, he shook his fist, I believe in you. You can do it!
The man:
After walking far away from him, Hua Youyue could no longer keep it in. She clung onto Yang Zhens shoulder, holding back her laughter, unable to stop.
Do do you know who that person was just now?
Hua Youyue was laughing so hard, she doubled over. She looked nothing like the noble lady of Changyue Tower. Seeing this made Yang Zhen purse his lips, Im sure I know. Apart from the wise man you refer to, who else could possess such an overwhelmingly intimidating talent?
And yet you Hua Youyue again held onto Yang Zhens shoulder, laughing. Yang Zhen turned his head to look, saying with lingering fear, Lets move quickly. This old man is extraordinary. That look in his eye gave me the creeps. Lets go. I have a feeling he recognized me.
Hua Youyue gave Yang Zhen a look and said, I really dont get you. Who do you think you are? Do you really believe that the wise man could recognize you at first sight?
Yang Zhen didnt answer. He indeed had that feeling. He felt there was something about the old man. That meaningful smile and those penetrating eyes somehow resembled a serious scammer!
At first, Yang Zhen thought the wise man was just a big-eyed, decent-looking old man. Who would have guessed that he would turn out to be such an unfathomable individual? With this in mind, he was even less willing to do anything with the wise man.
Yang Zhen was confident that he could match the old man in trickery, but when it came to actual power, Yang Zhen could fight him hands, feet, and mouth, and still lose to him.
This world leaned towards the law of the jungle; the one with the bigger fist prevailed. If the old man actually recognize him and decided to force things, Yang Zhen would be in big trouble.
The two eventually arrived at a harbor. The place was bustling with people and
a variety of boats.
Yang Zhen was amazed. He never thought that manufacturing in this world could be so advanced. A group of practitioners, who could easily travel at high altitudes with a sword under their feet, highly valued the quality and appearance of a ship.
In the end, under Hua Youyues guidance, Yang Zhen boarded a grand ship. The scale was almost as impressive as that of the Blade.
Being in the sky had its advantages, just as being on the sea had its own pleasures. Not long after boarding the ship, Yang Zhen understood everything. Practitioners were not all about hardships; they also had the same desires and need for enjoyment. And these kinds of ships served to fulfill their recreational needs.
People were chatting and laughing heartily over their drinks. Practitioners of all stages of cultivation were present. Foundation-establishment practitioners hustled about. Encountering a generous guest meant receiving crystal stones and beaming with joy.
Most of the Nascent Soul and Golden Core stage practitioners mingled in small groups, making polite conversation.
Yang Zhen immersed himself in this world of hedonism. He immediately fell in love with the lifestyle.
Server, bring more wine, the good stuff!
As Yang Zhen beckoned and began to enjoy the life of a rich man, Hua Youyue, who sat beside him, grew rigid and stared at him in disbelief.
Whoosh!
In the ships cabin, almost everyones gaze focused on Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen was caught off guard and found the atmosphere strange. He turned his head and looked at Hua Youyue with confusion, Did I call out wrong. Hua Youyue burst out laughing, instantly brightening the entire cabin. Others started laughing, slapping the tables. All of them glanced teasingly at
Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen was about to cuss, but Hua Youyue pulled him aside and sat him down.
Haha, where has this bumpkin come from? Hes so unrefined!
Thisthis is the biggest joke in Flower Moon Tower this year.
Does this young man think this place is a restaurant? However, the woman beside him seems familiar.
Oh, now that you mention it, the woman does look like Hua Youyue, the lady of Changyue Tower!
So what if she is? In Flower Moon Tower, even those from the Cave Heaven Blessed Land must comply with the rules. See the group at the table next to the lady Allegedly, the heir of Tianqing Blessed Land, the cultivation fanatic Luo Wuchen, sits among them. Its said that among the young generation in Tianqing Blessed Land, no one can match his cultivation speed. Yet even he follows the rules here.
Yang Zhen sat at the table, looking bewilderedly at Hua Youyue, and asked, Whats happening?
This isquite an embarrassment.
Hua Youyue, trying to hold back her laughter, explained, My mistake -1 should have told you before. There is a rule in Flower Moon Tower. To eat here, you must meet certain conditions set by Flower Moon Tower. The stricter the condition, the cheaper the food will be, even free in some cases. However, these conditions are so difficult that few have been able to meet them over the
years.
Hearing this, Yang Zhen brightened up and gazed around, intrigued. He turned to a young girl nearby, How do I meet these conditions of your tower? Hua Youyue signaled with her eyes. Following her gaze, Yang Zhen spotted a gorgeous young girl approaching him and holding what looked like a wooden box.
The girl smiled charmingly and respectfully, standing in front of Yang Zhen. She opened her mouth and spoke softly, Sir, please.
Yang Zhen looked around to find everyones eyes fixed on him. All of them, one after another, wore expressions of delight at anothers misfortune. In response, he stretched back in his seat, crossed his legs, and assumed a laidback posture. Pointing at Hua Youyue, he said, Ladies first. Dont you even know this basic etiquette here?
Ladies first?
Hearing this, the young girls eyes brightened, and she shared a meaningful glance with Yang Zhen. She smiled sweetly and replied, My apologies, sir. Yaner was rude!
As she spoke, Yaner carefully moved over to Hua Youyues side.
Surrounding onlookers stared blankly at Yang Zhen. They didnt expect Yang Zhen would pull such a stunt, and were left in shock.
Yang Zhen snorted silently to himself, thinking, These folks want a laugh at my expense? Theyre still too green.
Tsk!
From the second floor of the cabin came a sweet, clear voice, murmuring to herself, Ladies first, interesting!
