Song Yan said, "It worked out quite well for me."
Hua Linglong asked, "Why?"
Song Yan chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "In the past, I couldn’t save those people, and the heart demon I formed as a result was a punishment for me. But now, it was easily resolved by just a bowl of soup. Isn’t that quite a bargain for me?"
Hua Linglong looked at him strangely.
Song Yan, however, gazed into the distance with clear eyes, hiding a vast aura.
For a moment, Hua Linglong couldn’t quite tell the truth from the lies.
Each of her three corpses kept telling her, "This kid is cunning, cunning, extremely cunning," but... she really couldn’t find any evidence of the boy’s cunning right in front of her.
...
...
At the highest point of the Ancient Bronze Ship, there was a Triangle Array.
Triangle, three positions, but only two were occupied.
One was Upper Envoy Ning, the other was the cultivator who resembled a butcher.
The Butcher laughed, "As expected from someone who came from such dire straits, they sure know how to handle affairs."
Upper Envoy Ning shook his head slightly and said, "The Nine Nether Blood Lotus Soup is something to cleanse the heart demon. Didn’t you see that loose cultivator of the Profound Yellow surname Di didn’t dare touch it? Either he’s too cautious or he’s well-informed, knowing exactly what it is, so he doesn’t dare drink it in front of me, lest I see his dark side."
The Butcher put away his smile and said, "Friend Yunmiao, you’ve never seen those worlds independent of the Star Domains. Barbaric and cunning are insufficient to describe the cultivators from there.
This isn’t to blame them, it’s just that in such an environment, you can’t survive without being cunning.
The three who managed to sit on the Nine Cranes Ship were all at the peak of their original worlds.
Especially this kid surnamed Song, clearly at odds with Di Cunxin. Yet he still managed to stay lively under Di Cunxin’s watchful eyes and board this ship, which isn’t easy.
If you and I were in his place, we might not be able to accomplish that.
Therefore, I find it hard to imagine, such a character actually... hehe, hehehe, hahahaha."
Upper Envoy Ning, who was named Ning Yunmiao, said calmly, "When he drank the Nine Nether Blood Lotus Soup, he didn’t hesitate. Do you think a cunning person would so easily drink a medicine given by someone else?"
The Butcher slowly shook his head, muttering, "I can’t see through it."
Ning Yunmiao chuckled, "Friend Reacher, what’s so hard to discern? Real and fake, fake and real, many things in this world aren’t that complicated.
After seeing a thousand sails, some still come back innocent; embedded deep in the mud, some still blossom as white lotuses.
This child’s temperament is quite good, and he should be brought into our Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace."
As they were talking, they suddenly stopped, their expressions changing slightly.
In front of the Nine Cranes Ancient Bronze Ship, at some point, a Daoist-shaped shadow appeared. The shadow was elusive, forming a massive silhouette, surrounded by five bright lights resembling lanterns.
The contours within the lights were distinct and emanated the aura of the Five Elements.
Reacher said, "The Five Spirits Celestial Demon Palace truly has a keen nose, they even caught wind of this."
Ning Yunmiao said, "Increase speed! This mission is solely to retrieve the dragon bones and the remains of predecessor Gu Mohan! We can’t let them entangle us!"
The Butcher nodded.
A voice resounded in the Void.
"Leave the dragon bones."
Whoosh!
Within the Bronze Ship’s crevices, the golden flames surged, and the ship’s speed increased once more.
The shadow said no more, raising a hand, the spirits of the Five Elements each performed their duties, and the surrounding space began to warp, presenting a strange sensation.
Reacher frowned and said, "Friend Yunmiao, you focus on piloting the Void Ship, and I’ll deal with him."

Rumble!
