Chapter 166: The Senior Sister Cultivates the Way of Ruthlessness (53)
The boatman did not seem to intend to respond to Sister Liu's words immediately. He remained silent, just lowered his head and concentrated on controlling the wooden boat, moving unswervingly in a specific direction.
Seeing that the other party did not respond, Sister Liu stopped talking and sat quietly aside. Yun Zhen carefully observed the boatman's every move and looked around vigilantly.
After a while, a faint light appeared in the distance, looming.
"Eastern Continent?" Yun Zhen murmured in a low voice, then turned to the boatman and said, "Brother Boatman, please stop the boat here. We can go the rest of the way on our own."
However, the boatman refused without hesitation: "No! You can't get off the boat here."
"Why?" Sister Liu couldn't help but ask, with a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction in her heart.
After looking at Yun Zhen, the boatman said to her, "You are a sword cultivator with a high level of cultivation, so you can pass through this fog safely, but your friend is different, her body is too fragile.
Moreover, this mist has a special liking for yin things. She is a willow tree. If she is not careful, she will be swallowed up."
Hearing this, Sister Liu opened her mouth in surprise: "How do you know that my true form is Liu Mu?"
She looked at the boatman in disbelief.
"I didn't expect that although you don't look like you have a high level of cultivation, your eyes are quite powerful." Sister Liu continued, but there was a hint of admiration in her tone, no longer the dismissive attitude she had before.
However, the boatman did not respond to Sister Liu's words, but continued to drive the boat silently towards the direction of the Eastern Continent.
"Even if we get off the ship here, I have the ability to protect her." Yun Zhen insisted at this time, "And don't worry, even if we pay the ship fare now, we will pay the full amount."
"I said no, and that's it." The boatman was also angry. "Why are you so stubborn? I can charge you less, but since you are on my boat, I have to take you ashore."
"Really? Just to get her to shore?" Yun Zhen suddenly asked, "Isn't there any other purpose?"
"You have a higher level of cultivation than me, are you afraid of my tricks?" The boatman asked instead of answering, "Sit tight! We are almost there, I can only take you this far, the rest of the way still depends on you...you have to walk on your own."
At this time, Sister Liu's voice transmission also came over: "Zhenzhen, is there something wrong with him? Should we use the teleportation talisman to leave here?"
Yun Zhen did not answer her, but just glanced at Sister Liu and shook her head.
The boatman was relieved to see that Yun Zhen did not reveal his identity, but he still couldn't help but look at Sister Liu a few more times along the way.
Originally, the matter should have ended like this, but when approaching the gate of the Eastern Continent, several powerful wind waves suddenly came in succession.
The branch that was wrapped around the boatman's hair flew out and turned into a large protective shield, directly covering the entire wooden boat.
Although Sister Liu didn’t notice it during the previous few air waves, from the moment she flew out from the branch this time, she felt that the “protective gear” was full of a familiar feeling.
Even after the gust of wind passed and the branch was about to fly back to its original place, she just gently stretched out her hand and opened her palm, and the branch fell into her hand.
Looking at the "little wooden tip" taken from the original body, Sister Liu looked at the boatman, carefully examined it for a moment, and then said: "So this is the path you are pursuing? In just a hundred years, you have ruined yourself like this?"
The boatman only said: "Give me back the hairpin. Without it, it will be hard to deal with the wind and waves behind."
"Here you go!" Sister Liu angrily threw the branch in her hand over. "You left your family, friends, and me just to live a life like this. You are really capable."
"What do you think?" The boatman tried his best to make his voice sound indifferent. "In the Eastern Continent, practicing Qi is the lowest level of existence. I would like to follow the 'immortals' to pursue the great way, but who wants me?
Even if you apply for a menial job, your hope is slim. After finally getting into a sect, you find that the people around you, even the most useless ones, are more qualified than you.
In the mortal world, we spend our entire lives feeling as if we have attained enlightenment, and it is great if we have achieved the level of Qi training.
But my end point is only the starting point for others. The Dongji Continent is rich in spiritual energy. Even if everyone has spiritual roots, their families all have more or less methods of cultivation, they are just a little better or a little worse.
You have never experienced that kind of loss. After reaching the foundation-building stage, I wanted to go back, but the previous teleportation array was one-way, and the other two-way teleportation arrays that could be used were controlled by the large sects.
I could take their flying boat back, after all, they would go to the mortal world every once in a while to select disciples with good talents, but the sects that could return were all in the Central Continent. In the end, I had no other thoughts except making money. "
Sister Liu didn't seem to have expected such a thing to happen. Although she had said before that her lover might have passed away, even so, she would not think that he was living a miserable life.
After all, in her heart, he was a capable and high-spirited person.
It really is true that gold shines wherever it is, but now that I am surrounded by gold, there is no difference between shining and not shining.
