58: Wooden boats? Something that became obsolete eight hundred years ago.

It only took half a day to find information about the Shen Family, and Su Lianxue's help was indispensable.

She used one token to report Fan Zuo's death and another to summon people to investigate together, acting very quickly.

Just as Han Feng defeated Dah Hu and his cronies and was about to go out to search, he didn't expect Su Lianxue to have already returned at this time.

He naturally didn't go to Guan Nan City, nor did he encounter the fortune teller; he just pestered Su Lianxue, asking what had happened.

But unexpectedly, Han Feng always felt that Su Lianxue was a bit distracted at that time, and she even left after only a few questions.

However, Han Feng didn't pay attention to it; instead, he focused on cultivation, preparing to welcome the Outer Sect assessment of Guan Xue Holy Land!

Recruiting a batch of Disciples naturally meant a batch of Disciples would be promoted, so the Outer Sect assessment and the Disciple recruitment ceremony were conducted simultaneously, just in different locations.

The name of 'waste' had been hanging over his head for three years; it was time to clear his name!

Han Feng was poised and ready; he slept exceptionally soundly that day, preparing for the Outer Sect Competition.

It was also that day that Su Lianxue suffered from insomnia.

The next day at noon, the Outer Sect Competition began as scheduled.

But even at such an important event, Su Lianxue, as the Saintess, was not present; instead, she first arrived in Guan Nan City.

She invited Jun Lingxiao to go together.

One reason was to use the Disciple recruitment ceremony and the Outer Sect and Inner Sect Competitions as an excuse to invite Jun Lingxiao as a guest, and the other was to try and ally herself with Jun Lingxiao.

After all, other Holy Lands also coveted Jun Lingxiao, but due to his noble status, they dared not approach him rashly and instead resorted to asking Su Lianxue for information.

In just one morning, the mountain gate of Guan Xue Holy Land was almost trampled flat.

And Jun Lingxiao also agreed, after all, he still had to check-in.

"The Divine Son of the Jun Family..."

Su Lianxue and her group walked on the main street of Guan Nan City; she walked in front, leading the way, but her peripheral vision frequently glanced at the languid young man behind her.

Perhaps the Head of the Chu Family, seeing Su Lianxue and Jun Lingxiao walking closely, revealed some information about Jun Lingxiao; of course, it was only a part, as he was not a member of the Jun Family and certainly knew what to say and what not to say.

What shocked Su Lianxue the most was the title of Divine Son.

"Upper Thousand Provinces, Divine Son of the Jun Family, Jun Lingxiao..." Su Lianxue thought about these things, gradually becoming lost in thought.

Although the young man behind her exuded an air of laziness, the noble temperament in his brows could not be erased.

He was out of place with everyone around him, lazy and noble, making her look at him.

The main thing was his gaze: "Everyone looks at me with something strange in their eyes; the vulgarity in their eyes cannot be hidden. Before, only Han Feng was different, and now... he is also different."

"Although there is no vulgarity in Han Feng's eyes when he looks at me, I can tell he also values me, but Jun Lingxiao is different..."

"In his eyes... there is no me..."

Thinking of this, Su Lianxue sighed lightly, a strange feeling rising in her heart, a feeling she had never experienced before.

It was the first time she had seen such a young man, the first time she had seen someone who didn't put her in their eyes, and it was the first time she was so curious about someone... "What kind of person... is he exactly?"

Just as Su Lianxue was lost in thought, the group had already left the city. Su Lianxue snapped back to reality, took a wooden boat from the storage ring on her slender finger, threw it into the sky, and said to Jun Lingxiao:

"Guan Xue Holy Land is a long journey; riding a Yao Beast would take two hours."

"Hearing that Your Highness, the Divine Son, would personally visit, my father specifically ordered me to bring this flying boat. The flying boat is extremely fast and will arrive in less than an hour."

As she spoke, the flying boat Su Lianxue threw out gradually grew larger at a visible speed, eventually becoming a wooden boat about ten people long and seven or eight people wide.

Su Lianxue still looked a bit proud watching this scene; one had to know that this wooden boat was left by her mother before she left, and its speed was extremely fast, vastly different from ordinary wooden boats.

It was usually maintained very well and only brought out when entertaining important figures; it could be said to be the highest Rank welcoming Rei of her Guan Xue Holy Land.

She originally thought she would receive a compliment or two, but when Su Lianxue turned her head, she was stunned.

"Your Highness, the Spirit Boat has arrived."

It was Jun Zizhuo.

He took out a compass and lit it in his hand; then, a rift directly opened in the Void Realm in front of him, and a huge black and gold Spirit Boat slowly emerged halfway from the Void Realm, its bow alone reaching hundreds of meters high!

"This world can only summon a Spirit Boat of this Rank; I can only ask you to humble yourself a bit."

Jun Zizhuo was Jun Lingxiao's teacher, and they had some acquaintance, so he wasn't so serious with Jun Lingxiao and addressed him more casually.

As he spoke, he turned around and glanced at the stunned Su Lianxue, only then noticing the wooden boat behind her, exclaiming in wonder:

"An unfolding Spirit Boat... no, should I say a wooden boat? It must have been phased out eight hundred years ago, an antique, huh?"

"It's quite impressive that you can still find such a retro item."

There was no mockery in Jun Zizhuo's eyes; he was just stating facts, then sighed with emotion.

But it was this sentence that instantly made Su Lianxue feel utterly mortified.

She bit her lower lip lightly and slowly lowered her head; there wasn't much change on her cold and beautiful face, but a blush gradually appeared.

The precious item they had treasured for so many years, only to be brought out for important figures, was actually an antique phased out eight hundred years ago in the eyes of Jun Lingxiao and his group... truly embarrassing to the extreme!

"He must be laughing at my narrow-mindedness, right?"

Thinking this, Su Lianxue slightly raised her head to steal a glance at Jun Lingxiao's expression.

But unexpectedly, there was no mockery or sneer on his face; it was still that handsome and cold face, and his eyes were still without joy or sorrow.

It was also at this moment that Su Lianxue noticed a detail she hadn't seen before: "So... he has a tear mole under his eye..."

"What are you standing there for? Come up and lead the way."

Only when Jun Lingxiao's voice sounded did Su Lianxue snap back to reality, and then her pretty face became flushed again.

Because she had actually become lost in thought without realizing it!

Her mind was a jumble of thoughts; she hastily put away her humble wooden boat and then followed Jun Lingxiao onto their Spirit Boat.

Looking at Jun Lingxiao's cold and upright back, Su Lianxue began to let her thoughts run wild again.

"Father said that truly powerful people do not casually ridicule others."

"And now I have made such a spectacle of myself, but he acts as if he hasn't seen it; his noble character... perhaps he is the only one in the world."

Su Lianxue's eyes now sparkled when she looked at Jun Lingxiao, as if a filter had been applied.

If Jun Lingxiao knew what she was thinking, he would probably indeed laugh at her; he was just too lazy to say much, who knew Su Lianxue could imagine so much drama.

At this moment, Su Lianxue was like a countrywoman who had just entered the city, curiously looking around, and was amazed to find that although 'wooden boat' and 'Spirit Boat' seemingly only differed by one word, after actually stepping on board, she realized the two were worlds apart.

Her wooden boat required Spirit Stones for power, and the Spirit furnace occupied a lot of space, so there were no decorations on it, just bare, with at most a few chairs.

But this Spirit Boat was different; Su Lianxue could clearly feel that some kind of Spirit pattern Formation was operating on it, seemingly directly converting the surrounding spiritual Qi into power. And although she couldn't discern the specific Formation, she could feel that this boat was equipped with various offensive and defensive Formations.

Of course, there were also many decorations, furniture, and it even seemed to have several lower floors. Moreover, when it launched, the hull somehow emitted wisps of white mist, making Su Lianxue feel as if she had truly become a so-called immortal as it soared through the clouds.

One Spirit Boat was a quarter the size of Guan Nan City, and as it took off, she could faintly hear gasps of surprise from below.

Looking down from the edge, the vast Guan Nan City became a black speck as the Spirit Boat gradually ascended, a feeling Su Lianxue had never experienced before.

For a moment, she couldn't control her emotions.

"Your Highness, the Divine Son, how was this Spirit Boat made? Why is it so magical?"

"And how did this Senior just now summon it?"

Su Lianxue asked with wide, curious eyes; at this moment, her face no longer held that cold and aloof expression, replaced by excitement and curiosity.

It was as if she had entered a whole new world...

Time for fun!
