The little girl in black smiled shyly.

Suddenly, the white-robed scholar tore off the golden ritual robe he was wearing and covered her head with it. Instantly, the little girl in black transformed into a little girl in white.

However, beneath the white-robed scholar’s snow-white robe, there was yet another white robe.

Chen Pingan, with clear eyes, slowly stood up and said softly, “No matter what happens later, don’t move, not even a bit. If you die today, I will let the entire Northern Entire Continent know that you are the great water monster of Dumb Lake, surnamed Zhou, and we’ll call you Zhou Milig. But don’t be afraid, I will try my best to protect you, just as I will try my best to protect certain people.”

Then, Chen Pingan turned around, his gaze sweeping across the first and second floors of the ferry, unhurriedly and calmly, and said, “Gao Cheng, I know you are on this ferry. After enduring for so long, you still couldn’t come up with a foolproof plan to kill me? Is it because you are too weak after leaving your lair, or am I… too strong? If you don’t make a move now, I think your chances of success will be even smaller when we reach Spring Dew Garden.”

Everyone on the ferry didn’t understand what this guy was talking about.

Only a handful of passengers on the ferry vaguely felt that the name Gao Cheng sounded somewhat familiar, but they couldn’t recall it for a while.

The ferry was just slowly sailing above the sea of clouds, bathed in sunlight, as if draped in a layer of golden clothes.

Chen Pingan patted the sword-nourishing gourd on his waist, focused his voice into a line, and with slightly moving lips, smiled: “What, are you afraid that I still have a backup plan? The dignified City Lord of Jingguan City, the shared sovereign of the ghostly creatures of the Bone Beach, can’t be this timid, right? You must know about the movements in the Suijiang City. I almost died. To prevent you from getting bored watching the show, I have reduced the five punches to three. Isn’t my hospitality much better than that of your Bone Beach? The flying sword Chuyi is right here with me. Your and the entire Bone Beach’s foundation of the Great Dao are all here. Once this opportunity is gone, there won’t be another.”

As long as it was Gao Cheng, he would naturally hear it.

He definitely heard it.

Chen Pingan smiled: “Do you think I am destined to be unable to invite you to show yourself?”

A ferry worker hiding in the corner of the bow of the ship instantly had eyes as black as ink. A Silver Screen Kingdom cultivator who had luckily survived in the Azure Mire Dragon Palace, only to seek refuge in Spring Dew Garden, also showed the same strange phenomenon. Their own three souls and seven spirits instantly shattered, and there was no more life. Before they died, they were completely unaware, and they would never know that deep in their souls, a seed had been quietly blooming and bearing fruit.

Two dead people, one slowly walked out, and one stood by the window.

The two deceased people, with smiles on their faces, each spoke with the ripples of their heart lakes. One of them smiled: “Besides Zhu Quan, who else could it be? Which other ancestor of the Hemp Robe Sect? Or did all three of them come? Hmm, they should all be here.”

The other person said: “You and I were so much alike back then. Seeing you, I miss the days when I had to rack my brains to survive. It was very difficult, but very fulfilling. That period of time made me live more like a human being than a person.”

However, Chen Pingan’s gaze was not on the two dead people. His gaze was still roaming, and he focused his voice into a line, “I heard that the truly enlightened people at the peak are not just about their Yin spirits traveling far away and their Yang spirits forming doppelgangers. Hiding so deeply, are you not afraid of the Hemp Robe Sect finding you? What, are you sure that I and the Hemp Robe Sect will not kill all the passengers on the ferry? Thanks to you, Gao Cheng, and He Xiaoliang, I am now doing things very much like you. Moreover, your real trump card must be a powerful Golden Core with immense killing power, or a reclusive Distant Wanderer martial artist. Is it difficult to find? From the moment I calculated that you would definitely leave Bone Beach, to the moment I boarded this ferry, you, Gao Cheng, have already lost.”

There was a moment of silence.

The dead man standing by the window opened his mouth and said, “Is it based on gambling?”

Chen Pingan was still the same Chen Pingan, but he squinted his eyes like a white-robed scholar and sneered: “Gambling? Others gamble after they are at the gambling table, but I have been gambling all my life since I can remember! Let’s not talk about gambling luck, but when it comes to gambling skills, I have never seen a peer better than me. Cao Ci, no, Ma Kuxuan, also no, Yang Ningxing, even more no.”

He rolled up his right sleeve with his left hand and took a step forward. Then, he rolled up his left sleeve with his right hand and took another step forward. The movements were extremely slow. He raised his head, the breeze caressing his face, and he shook his sleeves. After the sleeves were rolled up, there was naturally no more spring breeze filling his sleeves. “I have imagined that Du Yu of the Ghost Axe Palace is you, the assassin who deliberately hid in the dung bucket eating feces is you, the wild cultivator who took out a Xiaoshu coin in the alley is you, the young镖师 who gave me a waterskin is you, even the old monk who confronted the Yellow-Robed Ancestor is you. I have even thought that the little girl beside me might be you. There is no way around it, because you are Gao Cheng, so the ‘what ifs’ are more numerous, so numerous that it is not a matter of a thousand or a hundred, but rather that whatever one thinks of comes true. Therefore, I have been walking very hard along the way. But it is very worthwhile. My cultivation of the mind has never been so rapid. I advise you to be a little more capable today, otherwise I will immediately turn around and go to Bone Beach. Reciprocity, believe me, Chen Pingan, you and Bone Beach will have a not small accident.”

The “ferry worker” nodded and smiled: “I believe you. I, Gao Cheng, never say things that are or aren’t, whether alive or dead.”

The man by the window suddenly realized, but he had a sincere smile on his face and said, “I understand. I have overlooked the one person who wants you dead the most. It is my fault to suffer this loss. In the Suijiang City battle, she must have damaged some of the foundations of the Great Dao. If I were her, He Xiaoliang, I would completely sever that layer of connection with you in the dark, so as not to be implicated by you again in the future. But since she is He Xiaoliang, she might just be hiding in the secret realm of that small Sect’s blessed land, temporarily clearing the karma with you. None of this is important. What is important is that I, Gao Cheng, have made an extremely opposite but similarly resulting mistake because of you two inexplicable lovebirds. When she was around, I would attack you. Now that she is gone, I will naturally attack you even more. Your thinking is really interesting.”

Chen Pingan raised his thumb and wiped the corner of his mouth, “I’m not familiar with He Xiaoliang. You can call me a dog, but don’t associate me with her. What’s next? Are you two Golden Core ghosts going to humiliate me, or are you humiliating Gao Cheng himself?”

An old man carrying a sword slowly walked out from the stern of the ship. He should have been staying in a window room on the other side of the ferry, but I don’t know…
He, the tall, aged man’s steps faltered slightly, his face contorted as if in struggle. After a moment, he exhaled deeply. Employing the martial artist’s skill of focused sound transmission, he lamented, “Every self we fail to restrain will inevitably transform into another. You would do well to heed this warning.”

After the old man appeared, someone outside the ferry boat jointly cast a divine ability to isolate a small world.

The old man paid it no mind.

Chen Pingan inquired, “Do you think you are qualified to lecture me?”

The old man gazed at the white-clad youth, smiling. “Are you truly certain that what you currently desire aligns with your priorities?”

A bead of crimson blood seeped from between Chen Pingan’s brows. He abruptly raised a hand, as if signaling to outsiders not to intervene.

He patted the gourd for nurturing swords, and the flying sword, originally named Little Fengdu, Chu Yi, hovered above the gourd’s opening. He sneered, “The flying sword is right here. Shall we wager?”

The old man looked at the young man’s smile. His own face was also filled with smiles, even a hint of delight. He said, “Very well. I can now confirm that you and I, Gao Cheng, in the beginning, must have had similar origins and circumstances.”

After the old man appeared, not only did he show no sign of drawing his sword, but he also halted his steps. “I only have one question: in Suijia City, why did Zhu Quan and the others not assist you in withstanding the heavenly tribulation?”

Chen Pingan wiped his face with his left hand, erasing his smile bit by bit. He said slowly, “It’s simple. I told Sect Master Zhu from the beginning that as long as it wasn’t you, Gao Cheng, who personally killed me, even if I died, they wouldn’t need to show themselves.”

The old man nodded. “Only the Dismal Garment Sect cultivators would agree to such a thing. Only someone like you now, like Gao Cheng in the past, would make such a decision. This world should belong to people like us, constantly striving upwards.”

The old man smiled faintly. “Don’t die at someone else’s hand. I’ll be waiting for you in Jingguan City. I fear you might change your mind by then, so I advise you to cut through the Bone Beach directly and reach Jingguan City in one fell swoop.”

The old man raised his head to gaze into the distance, likely the southernmost part of the Northern Ju Continent. “On the Great Dao, a solitary figure. Finally, I’ve encountered a true kindred spirit. Failing to kill you this time, even at the cost of one soul and one spirit, isn’t so unacceptable upon reflection. Oh, you should thank that Jin Duer Temple girl and the little water monster behind you. Without their little accidents to help you stabilize your mind, no matter how careful you were, you wouldn’t have reached this ferry boat. Zhu Quan and the three might have been able to snatch the flying sword, but they definitely couldn’t have saved your life.”

The old man flicked his sleeves, and the wisp of soul he had split into two, one for the dead man by the window and one for the dead man at the bow, completely dissipated into the world.

Only then did the two dead men truly die, instantly turning into skeletons and shattering on the ground.

The old man reached around his shoulder and slowly drew the long sword.

Chen Pingan didn’t move an inch.

The old man laughed loudly. “Even if it’s just a soul and spirit of Gao Cheng, the three Jade Pure Realm cultivators of the Dismal Garment Sect are not worthy of such a reward.”

After drawing his long sword, the old man severed his own neck inch by inch, staring intently at the young man who seemed unsurprised. “The gods enthroned in Azure Ripple Lake Dragon Palace are even more like me, Gao Cheng. After our life-and-death struggle in the Bone Beach, if you die, I will take you to see what a true Fengdu is like. If I die, you can also go see for yourself. However, it’s really hard for me to die, that is all.”

A pure martial artist of the Distant Wanderer Realm severed his own head just like that.

The head rolled to the ground, while the headless corpse still stood tall, leaning on the sword with both hands.

Instantly, a small world was isolated on the ferry boat.

Three ancestral figures of the Dismal Garment Sect appeared together.

Two male ancestral figures went to the vicinity of the two skeletons, each using divine powers and spells to examine and verify.

Zhu Quan, with his sabre, stood beside Chen Pingan and sighed. “Chen Pingan, if you continue like this, it will be very dangerous.”

But Chen Pingan said, “I use my own evil thoughts to sharpen my sword, it is harmless to the world.”

Zhu Quan hesitated, shook his head, and glanced at the headless corpse. After a long silence, he said, “Chen Pingan, will you become the second Gao Cheng?”

Chen Pingan said nothing, simply smoothing his sleeves slowly.

Zhu Quan only stared at the corpse, his expression complex. “I naturally hate Jingguan City and Gao Cheng to the bone, but I have to admit that deep down, I have always respected Gao Cheng.”

Chen Pingan only turned around, looking down at the little girl who was motionless in the stagnant river of time.

Wearing that dharma robe, Jin Li, seemed to make her look even darker. He had a smile.

Even darker than that girl.

Zhu Quan smiled. “In any case, our Dismal Garment Sect owes you a great debt of gratitude.”

Chen Pingan shook his head. “It’s just even.”

She retracted her gaze and asked curiously, “Are you really going back to Bone Beach with us to cause trouble for Gao Cheng?”

Chen Pingan shook his head. “Let him wait for now. I’ll finish traveling through the Northern Ju Continent first.”

Zhu Quan chuckled.

Chen Pingan turned his head and asked, “Can you let this little girl move first?”

Zhu Quan nodded.

In an instant, the little girl, who had changed from black clothes to white, blinked her eyes, then froze. She looked at Chen Pingan first, then looked around, with a bewildered expression. She started to furrow her faint eyebrows again.

Chen Pingan squatted down and asked with a smile, “Do you want to find a place to settle down in Chunlu Garden, or do you want to see my hometown?”

The little girl asked, “Can I choose neither? Can I travel the world with you?”

Chen Pingan shook his head with a smile. “No can do.”

The little girl frowned and bargained, “If I stay by your side, you can eat pickled fish.”

Chen Pingan still shook his head. “Go to my hometown. There are delicious and fun things there. Maybe you can find new friends. Also, I have a friend named Xu Yuanxia. He’s a great hero, and he’s writing a travelogue. You can tell him your story and let him write it in the book.”

The little girl was a little tempted.

She suddenly remembered something and tugged hard at the snow-white robe on her body, which surprisingly fit perfectly.

Chen Pingan smiled. “Just keep wearing it. It doesn’t mean much to me now. Wearing it earlier was just a blindfold to deceive bad people.”

The little girl just shook her head.

Chen Pingan had no choice but to gently pull the collar, and then spread his hands. The dharma robe, Jin Li, automatically put itself on him.
Zhu Quan clicked her tongue.

“Well, well, he swapped out the green robes and bamboo hat for this getup. Looks quite dashing, I must say.”

Chen Pingan lifted her onto the railing, then hopped up himself. Finally, the two sat side-by-side, one big, one small. Chen Pingan turned his head and asked, “Sect Master Zhu, could you refrain from eavesdropping? Just for a little while.”

Zhu Quan smiled and nodded.

Chen Pingan gazed into the distance, clenching his fists and gently placing them on his knees. “Did what I said earlier… did it frighten you?”

The little girl crossed her arms and harrumphed. “Bah, I wasn’t born yesterday!”

Chen Pingan hummed in agreement. “Indeed, someone who dared to offer me a skewer of candied chestnuts is certainly not lacking in courage.”

The little girl giggled.

Chen Pingan asked, “Zhou Mi Li, what do you think of that name? You wouldn’t know, but I’m renowned for giving excellent names. Everyone gives me the thumbs up.”

The little girl was skeptical, but she figured having a given name was better than just a surname.

Chen Pingan retrieved a flask of wine from his spatial storage, broke the seal, and took a swig. “After I’m no longer by your side, you must remember one thing. The evildoings of villains are not always those fierce, terrifying figures who slaughter innocents, making your hair stand on end. More often… they’re like the nocturnal winds of Yellow Wind Valley. We can still walk through them, but we feel uneasy, uncomfortable. You must be wary of these invisible, intangible evils. Knowing this isn’t to make you learn from bad people, but so you can cherish the good in this world, both big and small, and better understand how hard-won they are.”

Chen Pingan then reached behind him and pointed towards the second floor of the ferry. “For example, besides that brute who bumped into you and then kicked you, you need to be more cautious of the young waiter who first appeared before me – he isn’t even a cultivator. And you need to be even more careful of the people around that old nanny. Not the young master, nor the young woman, but pay attention to the more inconspicuous people around them; it might be someone standing in the very corner.”

“You must be especially wary of those not-so-obvious evils. One type is the clever villain, who hides deep and plots far ahead. The other type is the foolish villain, who acts on instinct without even realizing it. So we must think more than them, try to be cleverer.”

“All the strength we can see and understand at a glance – flying swords, martial arts, magic robes, shrewdness, family background – are not true power or danger.”

The little girl furrowed her brow, her little face scrunched up. This time, she wasn’t pretending to understand; she truly wanted to comprehend what he was saying.

Because she knew it was for her own good.

Even though she still didn’t quite understand why telling her these difficult things was for her benefit.

Then that person reached out and gently pressed down on her head. “I know you don’t understand, but I can’t help but say it. That’s why I want you to go to my hometown, grow up a little more before venturing out into the world. Growing up is something that you, a great water monster, don’t need to rush, unlike the children of poor families. Don’t be hasty, grow up slowly.”

The black-clad little girl hummed in agreement. “I’ve remembered it all… Well, I won’t lie, I’ve only actually remembered most of it.”

Chen Pingan drank his wine. “It doesn’t matter if you didn’t remember everything I mentioned before. But you absolutely must not forget the following things. First, my hometown is a place called Longquan County in the Azure Bottle Continent. I own quite a few mountains there, one of which is called Fallen Phoenix Mountain. I have a first disciple named Pei Qian. You absolutely, positively must not let it slip that you knocked on her master’s head with a candied chestnut, and more than once. You don’t need to be afraid of her; just follow my instructions. Tell her that her master asked you to deliver a message, that she must diligently copy books and study hard. That will be enough.”

At this point, Chen Pingan withdrew his hand, shook the wine flask, and smiled. “You can add one more sentence, just say that her master misses her.”

Chen Pingan continued, “Secondly, I also have a student named Cui Dongshan. If you meet him and think he’s more foolish than anyone, don’t be afraid of him. If he dares to bully you, borrow a small ledger from Pei Qian and record it there. I’ll help you get revenge later. Then there’s an old chef named Zhu Lian. You can tell him about anything that happens to you. There are many more people on Fallen Phoenix Mountain… Never mind, you can get to know them yourself when you arrive in Longquan County.”

Chen Pingan turned his head and softly called out, “Zhou Mi Li.”

The black-clad little girl was busy counting things on her fingers when she heard him call her new name. She tilted her head.

Chen Pingan opened his mouth wide and shook his head.

The little girl rolled her eyes.

Why imitate her, and not even do it well?

Chen Pingan tilted his head back and finished the flask of wine in one gulp, wiping his mouth with his sleeve and laughing heartily.

He couldn’t resist sharing some things with the little girl.

But some heartfelt words still remained in his heart.

When he first left his hometown, he couldn’t understand many things. Even when he was just a young grass-sandaled boy from Mud Bottle Lane who had only been practicing martial arts for a short time, he wouldn’t be shaken and would just bury his head and continue on his way.

Later, when he was older, on his way to Upside-Down Mountain, he had practiced martial arts nearly a million times, but in a place called Dragon Flood Ditch, when he heard those thoughts and inner voices, he was incredibly disappointed.

At Book Brief Lake, he had nearly died several times and was about to arm-wrestle a Golden Core immortal. Yet, he nearly despaired in a situation where his life was not in danger.

He returned to his hometown, went to the Jianghu in the central Azure Bottle Continent, and now he had arrived in Northern Entirety Continent.

Cai Jinjian, Fu Nanhua, the Mountain-Moving Old Ape of True Yang Mountain, Intercepting River True Lord Liu Zhimao, the old flood dragon of Dragon Flood Ditch, Ding Ying of Lotus Blessing Land, Ascension Realm Du Mao, Liu Laocheng of Palace Willow Island, Gao Cheng of Jingguan City…

As he walked, he traversed thousands of mountains and rivers.

He learned martial arts, practiced swordsmanship, and now he had become a cultivator.

Zhu Quan suddenly spoke up to remind him, “Chen Pingan, we should be leaving soon. Lingering too long in the minor world’s river of time will be too much for the mortal teacher to bear.”

Chen Pingan quickly turned his head and patted the little girl beside him. “We’re entrusting this great water monster of Mute Lake to Sect Master Zhu to help send her to the Ox Horn Mountain ferry in Longquan County.”

The black-clad little girl tugged on his sleeve, her face full of unease.
Chen Ping’an immediately understood, raised a hand to his mouth, turned around, bent down, and whispered, “It’s a Jade Pure Realm immortal, very powerful.”

The black-clothed girl also quickly raised her hand. She only knew about Golden Core and Nascent Soul Earth Immortals, and had never heard of this Jade Pure Realm. She lowered her voice and asked, “How powerful? As powerful as the Yellow-Robed Ancestor?”

Chen Ping’an nodded and said, “Even more powerful.”

The black-clothed girl asked again, “What should I call her?”

Chen Ping’an whispered, “Just call her Sister Zhu. It’s definitely right. It’s better than calling her Sect Leader Zhu or Aunt Zhu.”

The little girl still secretly asked, “If I don’t have enough money for the inter-continental ferry, what should I do?”

Chen Ping’an quietly replied, “Owe it first.”

“Is that okay?”

“It doesn’t matter. That Sister Zhu is very rich, richer than the two of us combined.”

“But I’m still a little afraid of her.”

“Then pretend you’re not afraid.”

Zhu Quan rubbed her forehead to the side.

How did these two, one big and one small, get together?

In the end, the little girl carried the package on her back. She wanted to give it to him, but he didn’t want it.

She asked, “Are you really called Chen Good-Person?”

The man shook his head and smiled, “My name is Chen Ping’an, Ping’an as in safe and sound.”

The black-clothed girl was held in Zhu Quan’s arms and left with the two Hemp Robe Sect ancestors, riding the wind. Of course, the mess had been cleaned up, and the Hemp Robe Sect also needed to be dealt with. Gao Cheng’s terror was far more than just a Jade Pure Realm heroic spirit sitting in Ghost Cry Valley. During the time-stopped flow of light, the two ancestors had already checked everyone on the ferry one by one, confirming that Gao Cheng had no more hidden means. In fact, even if he did, after they left, with that young man’s temperament and methods, he wouldn’t be afraid at all.

The minor world restriction soon disappeared.

Everyone on the ferry.

Only saw by the railing, sitting a white-robed scholar, with his back to the crowd, the man gently patted his knees, vaguely hearing that he was saying how delicious the stinky tofu was.

On the second-floor viewing platform, next to Wei Bai of the Iron Ramble Manor, the Jianghu martial artist named Ding Tong could no longer stand and was about to be slapped to death by Wei Bai.

Unexpectedly, the white-robed scholar had already raised his hand and shook it, “No need, when I remember, I will kill him myself.”

Wei Bai indeed retracted his hand, smiled slightly, and cupped his fist, “Wei Bai of the Iron Ramble Manor, respectfully obeys the Sword Immortal’s decree.”

The Jianghu martial artist who had taken a trip to the gates of hell was dumbfounded, as if he had forgotten even to be afraid.

The white-robed scholar was silent for a moment, turned his head, looked at the martial artist, and asked with a smile, “Are you afraid? You shouldn’t be afraid, right, Gao Cheng?”

After asking casually.

The white-robed scholar turned around.

The Jianghu martial artist’s aura changed completely, smiling as he crossed the viewing platform and stood on the railing next to the white-robed scholar.

After he sat down, he asked with a smile, “How did you figure it out?”

Chen Ping’an smiled, “This time it was just a random guess. It’s not a bad thing to think of a deadly enemy as a little smarter.”

He asked, “So, the so-called finishing the journey through the Northern Club Reed Continent before coming to make trouble for me was also a hypothetical situation where I was still around, and then you deliberately said it for me to hear?”

Chen Ping’an nodded.

Gao Cheng laughed heartily, clenched his fists, and looked into the distance, “You say, if this world were full of people like us, ghosts like us, how wonderful would that be!”

Chen Ping’an asked, “When did you take control of him?”

Gao Cheng shook his head, seemingly regretful, and sneered, “Want to know if this person really deserves to die? It turns out you and I are still not quite the same.”

Chen Ping’an took out two jars of wine, one for himself and one tossed to Gao Cheng beside him, uncorked the mud seal, and took a large gulp of wine, “Back then, so many Gao Chengs died on the battlefield. After Gao Cheng stood up from the pile of corpses, how many more Gao Chengs would have to die?”

Gao Cheng took a sip of wine, smiled, “Who says it isn’t so.”

As a result, the young man suddenly said, “So you have to read more books.”

Gao Cheng casually threw away the jar of wine, which fell into the sea of clouds, “Is turtle jelly delicious?”

Chen Ping’an sighed, “Just a single soul, can you separate so much? I’m impressed. No wonder so many cultivators desperately want to go to the top of the mountain to take a look.”

Gao Cheng spread out a hand, and a black vortex appeared in the palm, faintly visible with extremely tiny specks of light, like a rotating galaxy, “Don’t rush, think it over, then decide whether or not to send out the flying sword, to be sent by me to Jingguan City.”

Chen Ping’an twitched the corner of his mouth, patted the Sword Nurturing Gourd, pinched the Initial One with two fingers, and placed it into the vortex in his palm.

Gao Cheng clenched his fist, turned his head, “Killing you is not easy, tricking you is not difficult. If I want to avoid the examination of the two Jade Pure Realm experts from the Hemp Robe Sect, if I separated too many souls and was in the long river of time, would it really be so easy to deceive the heavens and cross the sea? Zhu Quan being able to withstand Ghost Cry Valley is really not a waste.”

Chen Ping’an remained unmoved.

Gao Cheng nodded and said, “That’s right.”

Gao Cheng still clenched his fists, “In this life, I only respect two people. One is the old platoon leader who first taught me how not to be afraid of death and then taught me how to be a deserter. He lied to me all my life, saying that he had a beautiful daughter, and in the end, I realized that he had nothing, his wife and children had all died early. The other is that Buddha. Chen Ping’an, this flying sword, I actually can’t take it away, nor do I need to take it. When you finish this journey through the Northern Club Reed Continent, it will take the initiative to send me.”

Gao Cheng spread out his hand, the flying sword Initial One suspended motionless in his palm.

Strands of green smoke escaped from the seven orifices of the martial artist named Ding Tong, and finally slowly dissipated.

Chen Ping’an was stunned, and the flying sword Initial One returned to the Sword Nurturing Gourd.

Ding Tong shuddered, completely confused, and suddenly found himself sitting on the railing.

After turning his head to look.

The white-robed scholar smiled and said, “What a coincidence, you’re also looking at the scenery?”
