Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 254 Small talk
The boat is a spiritual boat, built by a spiritual craftsman.

The ship is huge, like an inn.

More than a hundred practitioners boarded the spirit ship one after another. There was a hall inside the ship, like a tavern, with many seats. The practitioners on the ship drank wine and tea.

"Are you going again?" On the boat, Yan Qingmeng saw Tan Yue stand up and look towards Li Fan with some displeasure.

"Xiao Meng, take a look at the temperaments of those people?" asked Tan Yue.

"Hmph..." Yan Qingmeng snorted proudly. She was not blind.

Yan Qingmeng herself was also extraordinary, wearing a long silk satin dress, with long black hair like a waterfall, and a tall figure with a bit of elegance. But even so, if compared with Lu Yuan and Yue Qingqiu, she seemed a little pale in comparison.

"There are many risks in going out to sea, so it's always a good idea to have more friends to look after you. And judging from his temperament, he must be a child of a noble family, so he is worth making friends with. This is also for our safety." Tan Yue said, "Xiao Meng, don't underestimate me."

"Go!" Yan Qingmeng was a little sulky.

"I'll go and test the waters." Tan Yue didn't care and stood up and went towards Li Fan. Yan Qingmeng drank a glass of wine with a depressed look and glanced at Lu Yuan and Yue Qingqiu.

What a beautiful girl!

She was often praised for her beauty, but she didn't expect to meet two top beauties on this ship. No wonder that guy...

Thinking of this, Yan Qingmeng felt indignant.

"Brother Yang." Li Fan and the others were sitting in the corner when they saw Tan Yue coming over. Huang Xiong raised his eyes to look at him. This guy was too familiar. If he was being too attentive for no reason, he was either a traitor or a thief.

Do you think Miss Lu and Miss Yue are pretty?
How could he think of this? This is all Brother Xiaofan's...

"Brother Tan, please sit down." Li Fan said with a smile, as if he didn't care. As long as Tan Yue had no ill intentions, it didn't matter. He just wanted to find out some information.

"I don't know why Brother Yang is going out to sea this time?" Tan Yue sat down opposite Li Fan and said, "Brother Yang, please don't misunderstand me. I'm just asking casually. The sea is very dangerous. With Brother Yang's temperament, it's obvious that he is from a noble family. Why would he take such a risk? Is it for experience?"

"Looking for something." Li Fan said.

"Looking for something?" Tan Yue was stunned, then he guessed, "There are indeed many good things in the Sea Island City. Brother Yang must have seen it just now. This time, the governor of Yazhou also boarded this ship, which is rare."

"Hasn't this happened before?" Li Fan asked.

Tan Yue shook his head: "I haven't heard of it. Brother Yang, you don't know that in addition to sea monsters, there are also various bandits in the sea, killing people and looting goods. If you hide in the sea, where can you find people?"

"Speaking of this spirit ship, why is the ticket price so high? It is because the spirit ship is also responsible for providing protection, and there are many powerful monks guarding the ship."

"Not only the people in the sea area need to be on guard, but also the people on the boat." Just then, a crisp voice came. Li Fan looked up and saw Yan Qingmeng walking towards him. She sat down next to Tan Yue and said to Li Fan with a glass of wine in her hand: "Yan Qingmeng, let me toast to Mr. Yang."

Li Fan looked at the woman in some surprise. What was going on?
Even Lu Yuan beside him had a strange look on his face. What did that mean?

"Yang Qingshan."

Li Fan raised his glass in response, Yan Qingmeng drank it all in one gulp, and Tan Yue also looked at her.

"Mr. Yang, you don't know that among the accidents that occur at sea every year, many disasters occur on board ships. Some people board ships with a purpose, so it is better to be careful and cautious of strangers." Yan Qingmeng said softly, "For example, some people who are unreasonably enthusiastic."

Tan Yue: “?”

"Miss Yan is absolutely right." Li Fan said with a smile. This woman is quite interesting.

"I am a descendant of the Yan family in Yazhou City. I have never heard of the Yang family in Yazhou City. Could it be that you are not from Yazhou City?" Yan Qingmeng continued to ask.

"No, I'm from Jiangzhou." Li Fan responded.

"I heard that Jiangzhou is a place of great natural beauty. No wonder such a beauty was born there. Young Master Yang is so lucky." Yan Qingmeng glanced at Lu Yuan and Yue Qingqiu and said.

Lu Yuan looked up at her, then looked at Li Fan, but Yue Qingqiu didn't react.

"Miss Yan has misunderstood. We are good friends, not Taoist companions." Li Fan said with a smile.

"Not a Taoist couple?" Yan Qingmeng was a little surprised. It was obvious that Li Fan was the leader of the group, and the two women were always by his side. They were traveling together, so they should have a very close relationship.

"I haven't asked for your names yet, young ladies." Tan Yue's eyes brightened a little, and he raised his glass to look at Lu Yuan and Yue Qingqiu and asked.

Yan Qingmeng: “?”

Lu Yuan looked at Tan Yue, then at Li Fan, and said softly, "You won't even give me a name?"

Li Fan: "..."

Tan Yue, who was holding up the glass, suddenly looked embarrassed and put the glass back.

He looked at Li Fan again, feeling truly envious.

"You are so lucky, little brother." The person drinking nearby heard the conversation and said with a smile, "How can such a beauty not be given a name?"
Not a human being...

Many pairs of eyes were staring at Li Fan, what a bastard.

Li Fan was a little depressed.

Lu Yuan, you have changed... "My little brother, you should know how to be grateful. The two girls are both beautiful. I have been wandering around for many years and have never seen such stunning women. You are so good..." A middle-aged rich man drank some wine and jokingly scolded Li Fan: "You are worse than an animal."

"That's right. I've seen the woman who is known as the most beautiful woman in Yazhou, but I'm afraid she may not be as beautiful as the two girls."

The atmosphere on the boat suddenly became lively.

"Speaking of beauties, have you heard of the most beautiful woman in Dali?" someone asked.

"I've only heard of the Dali sword rankings. When did they also have beauty rankings?"

"There is indeed no ranking, but there are some voices saying that the most beautiful woman in Dali has been chosen."

"Oh? Tell me."

The atmosphere on the boat became more and more lively, with people from the underworld talking about underworld matters and gossiping enthusiastically.

"You may not know this, but this person is not only known as the most beautiful woman in Dali, but also has an extremely extraordinary identity."

"Stop talking so much, just speak up..." someone said impatiently.

"This story started many years ago. When the late Emperor of Dali was alive, he gave birth to a princess who was adored by many people. The Saint Empress Dowager was extremely favored by her, and the late Emperor also held her in his palms. She was as dazzling as the bright moon in the sky."

"However, later, the previous emperor died unexpectedly, and the princess disappeared. At that time, some people said that she might have been murdered, but not long ago, news came out that the princess returned to the Dali Palace. She appeared in the imperial city once and was praised as a fairy who had descended to earth."

"Or is it just a rumor? Is it just because of his noble status that people say this?"

"That's absolutely not the case. The Dali Dynasty is the center of the world, and there are many beauties. However, that princess only showed up once, and it made people sigh that all women in the world are mortals."

"I have also heard about this. It is said that this princess not only has a stunning appearance, but also has a rare talent for cultivation. She is worthy of being the descendant of the late emperor."

"The late Emperor of Dali was also a great man in his time. It is said that he had the chance to become a saint. However, he did not expect that God would be jealous of his talent. Among them..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Someone next to him reminded him, and the man immediately shut up.

"Senior sister!"

Li Fan didn't expect that everyone on the boat was talking about his senior sister, and also her father.

Li Fan was also quite curious about the late Emperor Dali who asked the old blind man to come out of seclusion.

"The late Emperor Dali was very outstanding?" Li Fan asked.

"Of course, when the late emperor of Dali entered the realm of Dan Condensation at the age of eighteen, he did not sit in the palace, but traveled around the world. Seeing that the people of Dali were harmed by demons, he made a great ambition to wipe out all the demons and evil spirits in Dali and bring peace and prosperity to the people of Dali. To this end, he personally climbed Mount Li and made friends with the sword cultivator Zuo Canglan of Mount Li. Later, he invited Zuo Canglan to come out of the mountain to assist him as the national teacher."

"It is said that there has always been some rift between Lishan and the Dali royal family. The fact that the late emperor was able to invite the swordsman from Lishan to come out of seclusion shows his personal charm. It's a pity that what happened later..."

"If this brilliant and talented His Majesty does not die, he will surely become a saint in the future for future generations to admire."

"Why are you getting off topic?" Someone said, "Let's get back to the previous topic. This most beautiful woman in the world..."

Before he finished speaking, a group of people walked into the hall and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Wen Renqiu and his entourage came to a seat in the hall and sat down. Seeing that everyone was quiet, he couldn't help but smiled and said, "Everyone, continue. I want to listen too."

"No need to say more. Master Wenren is going to the West Sea to gain experience?"

"You could say that, I've been in Yazhou City and have been hearing all kinds of rumors about the sea. Now that I've achieved some accomplishment, I thought about going out for a walk and taking a look." Wen Renqiu was elegant and chatting with everyone.

"Master Wenren, you are too polite. As far as I know, Master Wenren is already striving to reach the Condensed Pill stage. At such a young age, he has already practiced so much. Looking at Dali, he is considered to be extremely talented."

"Not even close." Wen Renqiu took a sip of his wine glass and said, "What you guys were just talking about, is that Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Dali Dynasty is already trying to reach the seventh realm."

“Seventh Realm…” Everyone gasped. This princess can’t be that old, right?

But thinking of the late emperor's condensation of the elixir at the age of eighteen, entering the Dao at the age of twenty-three, and entering the Seven Realms of All Things at the age of thirty;
It seems that it is not surprising.

Her father was a great ruler.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is not an ordinary person, so she is naturally not included in the discussion." Someone else laughed.

"Even if we don't talk about Princess Dali, a major event happened in Chixiao City a year ago. Have you heard about it?"

"The Lishan Sword Saint drew his sword, and the fifth-ranked swordsman in the world, Li Chengying, died." Someone said.

Hearing this, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

The news of that sword has spread throughout the world, and everyone is in awe when they hear about it.

The sword saint Li Shan Wu Ya reappeared in the world and killed the fifth best swordman in the world with one sword. What an unparalleled demeanor! It's a pity that I never had the chance to see it with my own eyes.

"That's right. The background of this sword is that there was a peerless swordsman in Lishan. He was in the middle stage of foundation building at the age of 18 and killed everyone on the Qingyun list." Wen Renqiu shook his head: "I'm still far behind."
