Qin Yu closed his eyes, not saying a single word. The Oriental Great Bird carefully retracted its aura and stayed beside him, motionless. Sensing that the atmosphere had become heavier at this moment, the little blue lamp’s voice rang out in Qin Yu’s mind, “Seventh Dao Master has descended!”
Whoosh –
Qin Yu abruptly opened his eyes and the brilliance in them faded. He had managed to lure Seventh Dao Master to descend here, showing that his plans were working out, but whether or not they were effective remained to be seen. However, Cheng Haoran was still here and from his attitude, Qin Yu could evaluate the effectiveness of his plans.
After a few moments, Black Pearl came to report, “Your Excellency, Cheng Haoran is waiting outside.”
Qin Yu replied, “Send him in.”
“Yes, Your Excellency…” Black Pearl lowered her head, a hint of resentment in the depths of her eyes. She turned around and said in a tough tone, “The Sea King asks you to go in.” She glanced at him and scoffed, before turning around to leave. Though she looked cold and proud, on the inside, she was bitter and helpless. She really did not want to stay, so that she would not have to see or hear anything that would extinguish her last hopes.
The scholar, who was unjustly attacked once again, glanced helplessly at this flirtatious female pirate. His grandmaster was right; women were just troublesome, he was better off focusing on his cultivation! Entering the Sea King’s great hall, Cheng Haoran cupped his hands when he found Qin Yu and said, “Your Excellency, I just received a letter from my grandmaster. He invites you to go to White Jade Capital after three days. Until then, he also asks that Your Excellency take care of matters properly so that we can set out on time.”
Success!
Qin Yu smiled slightly, “Okay, I understand.”
After some hesitation, Cheng Haoran added, “There is something else. Even though it’s not worth mentioning, but…er, is there something wrong with Black Pearl? I somehow feel that she is treating me with hostility for no reason.”
Qin Yu said blandly, “You know how women are. Every month, there are some days when they get moody. Just be more understanding towards her. If you are really unhappy about this, I will summon her here to apologize to you personally.”
Cheng Haoran waved his hand, “No need for that, I’m not that petty.” Having finished speaking, he cupped his hands and turned to leave.
Qin Yu looked at his back, and thought to himself, ‘If you knew what kind of thoughts Black Pearl had, you would not be saying that. That woman’s imagination truly runs really wild!’ Thinking about this, the corners of his lips twitched uncontrollably. He felt a wave of disgust run through him.
Shaking his head and suppressing all these thoughts, Qin Yu’s eyes became bright. Three days later, he would be heading to White Jade Capital! He did not know what the situation was like in the altar’s connecting world, but up until now at least, everything had been rather smooth. If he had not become the Sea King and made such a huge commotion, he would have had to spend a huge amount of time just trying to find White Jade Capital.
“Little blue lamp, get ready.”
“Of course, I would like to see for myself what the nine White Jade Capitals are like and what their origins are.” His voice was calm, but Qin Yu could sense a heaviness in his tone. Indeed, the little blue lamp’s attitude towards the nine White Jade Capitals was not like what he showed on the surface.
Very quickly, three days passed. In these three days, Qin Yu pretended to have made a lot of preparations. After all, he was the new Sea King. If he appeared to be too cold and seemed to not care about Sea King Island, it would be suspicious. Black Pearl was extremely moved, because His Excellency had trusted her a great amount. He let her be in charge of matters on Sea King Island temporarily and even gave her the authority to act accordingly for the situations!
Tears formed in her eyes and she cried out in her heart, ‘His Excellency still cares for me! Therefore, in this battle of stealing His Excellency’s heart, there is still hope for me. Just you wait, Cheng Haoran, you stinky man. One day, I will snatch His Excellency away from you.’ Black Pearl, who was still kneeling on the ground, shouted these words resolutely in her heart.
Qin Yu’s lips twitched. He wanted to beat her to death. Just by looking at her expression, he could tell what she was thinking of. Her thoughts were too disgusting! He got up and left. With a single step, he left Sea King Island. He was afraid that he would change his mind and end up killing her if he stayed for a second longer.
Cheng Haoran felt awe in his heart and thought to himself, ‘This person is truly worthy of being the Sea King. He is extremely decisive and did not even hesitate to abandon his own home. He is going to White Jade Capital this time, and in the future, he is going to have to participate in the competition against several Dao Masters to get Heaven and Earth Origin. It is not an exaggeration to say that his future is uncertain. Yet, in such a situation, he still looks calm and determined.’
“Goodbye!”
He was emulating the mannerisms of a scholar, which was why he cupped his hands and left after Qin Yu. However, in Black Pearl’s eyes, he was clearly issuing a challenge to her! When his figure disappeared, Black Pearl stood up, gritted her teeth, and growled, “What a bitch!”
Away from Sea King Island, Cheng Haoran’s figure reappeared. He almost tripped and fell to the ground. He abruptly turned his head and glared in the direction of Sea King Island. His widened eyes were filled with shock and anger, as if he had come across something appalling. What did he just hear just now? It was simply unbelievable!
Qin Yu said blandly, “It’s just a woman engrossed in her own world. She’s dumb and ignorant. Fellow daoist Cheng, you’re not going to argue with her, right?”
Cheng Haoran was silent. Even though he very much wanted to say that he could not put up with this, after looking at Qin Yu’s calm demeanor, he gritted his teeth and did not let anything show on his face.
“Of course, it’s just a woman…” Cheng Haoran smiled stiffly. Bear with this, I have to bear with this. With his intelligence, of course he had realized why Black Pearl had treated him with so much hostility previously. Obviously, Qin Yu was the main male character in this story! I cannot lose. If Qin Yu can show that he does not care, I can too. But this is making me too angry. Why is Qin Yu the male lead character? In what way am I inferior to him!
Qin Yu smiled slightly, “Fellow daoist Cheng is magnanimous. Let’s set out then.”
Cheng Haoran glanced sideways at him and said, “Okay.” He punched outwards and the space started to tremble. A huge tidal wave was instantly stirred on the surface of the sea, as if a large force had collided with it. In the blink of an eye, the billowing waves swept in all directions and continuously crashed into Sea King Island. He was obviously taking the opportunity to vent his anger.
Qin Yu pretended he did not pick up on anything. Very quickly, at the spot where Cheng Haoran punched, the space fluctuated violently. Then, a portal appeared. It was clean, white, and made of jade. There was an ancient aura being released from this portal. The little blue lamp did not say anything, which meant that this portal was not a threat to Qin Yu.
He stepped forward, pushed the door open, and stepped into it.
Cheng Haoran took a deep breath. He had to admit that compared to Qin Yu, he was quite lacking when it came to courage. Perhaps this was why he was still trapped in the True King realm, being only one step away from the Eternal realm, while the other party had already embarked on the path of Incense Great Dao a long time ago, making Qin Yu qualified enough to collaborate with his own grandmaster!
There was a bright flash before their eyes, and as if it was as simple as walking through a door, when Qin Yu finally stepped on solid ground, he had already reached White Jade Capital. There was nothing new or unexpected about White Jade Capital…it was still a place that existed above the clouds and there was a strong immortal aura. At one glance, he could tell that this was a place where immortals lived. However, he had seen a similar sight before at Thirteenth Floor…or, perhaps, it was Thirteenth Floor that was a replica of White Jade Capital.
However, on the surface, of course he had to at least show a bit of admiration and fear, so that he looked like someone who had come for the first time.
