The sun shines brightly, the sea is azure, and seagulls glide gracefully between the masts, filling the air with youthful joy.

The sea and sky stretched out before them, and the horizon in the distance was now just a hazy gray shadow.

The cabin door was open, and sweet laughter could be heard coming from below.

Then, a beautiful young woman walked onto the deck, wearing a loose and comfortable bright red dress.

Her hair was loosely tied up, revealing her two glistening, slender legs.

Barefoot, with her slender, flawless feet, she walked lightly across the deck.

She walked to Chu Liuxiang's side and gently tickled the soles of his feet with her toes.

A sweet and alluring smile bloomed on her face, as if all the flowers had blossomed in that instant.

Chu Liuxiang pulled his legs back and sighed softly: Tian'er, can't you ever be quiet for a moment?

"I'm watching 'Martial Saint of the Human World' while I'm pruning the flowers and plants."

Immediately, a woman's silvery laughter was heard.

You were wrong after all.

Chu Liuxiang lazily turned over, and the sunlight shone on his face.

His eyebrows were thick and long, exuding a rugged masculine charm, but his clear eyes were so delicate and refined.

His straight nose symbolized a strong, decisive, and iron-willed heart, while his thin, upturned lips also gave him a somewhat cold appearance.

But as soon as he smiles, his strength turns into gentleness, and his coldness into compassion, like a warm spring breeze blowing across the earth.

He shielded his eyes from the glaring sunlight, blinked, and smiled, his eyes sparkling with a playful and humorous light, yet also full of wit.

"So it's Miss Li Hongxiu."

Li Hongxiu sat beside him, looked at Ye Fan through the Chu Gate, and sighed.

"I really didn't expect that."

"To be precise, even the whole world couldn't have imagined it."

"Ye Fan, the sixth-ranked martial arts saint in the world."

"He clearly possesses such terrifying strength."

"Yet they insist on being so low-key."

Looking at Ye Fan, one could sense the aura of a ninth-rank martial artist.

Li Hongxiu sighed.

"I used to think you were the person in the world who loved to play the ostrich the most."

"I never expected that this martial saint of the mortal world would be even more fond of putting on an act."

"The sixth-ranked person in the world, yet he pretends to be a ninth-rank martial artist, living a carefree and unrestrained life."

"No wonder you two became friends."

"Birds of a feather flock together."

"They just have to pretend, like a pig to eat a tiger."

Chu Liuxiang smiled faintly.

“Miss Li Hongxiu, you are unaware of this.”

"Ye Fan's behavior, in his words, is called steady development."

"It means that I will not leave the mountain until I am completely free of any threat in the world."

"Once it appears, it will dominate the world."

"Eliminating all dangers is the way to avoid being hated."

"But he probably didn't expect that his every move was being watched by us."

A cunning glint flashed in Chu Liuxiang's eyes.

As a friend, he was actually quite curious about what else Ye Fan could do.

Therefore, she never told Ye Fan.

Chu Liuxiang also looked forward to the day when Ye Fan would emerge from seclusion.

He looked like a low-ranking martial artist, but he discovered that everyone recognized him.

What kind of expression would it be?

That must be so much fun.

……

Hulong Villa.

Iron-Blooded Marquis Zhu ignored him, gazing at the contented Ye Fan.

He was completely taken aback.

This was the first time he had ever met someone so carefree and detached from worldly affairs.

"Ye Fan, oh Ye Fan."

"What exactly are you up to?"

Zhu ignored the iron gall bladder in his hand, which was spinning rapidly.

He frowned as he watched Ye Fan's movements.

He simply couldn't understand Ye Fan's actions.

If it were me.

Wielding the sword of mortals, he controls the Great Array of Ten Thousand Swords Slaying Immortals.

He himself is still the sixth strongest in the world.

I've long wanted the whole world to know.

One's own strength and ambition.

His goal can thus be achieved!

After all, he is the sixth strongest in the world, and with the added power of the Sword of the Mortal Realm and the Ten Thousand Swords Slaying Immortals Formation, he is truly a formidable opponent.

To be honest.

Even those mentioned earlier might not be able to withstand my attacks.

Before you try to go against yourself, you should consider whether it will result in mutual destruction.

But what about Ye Fan?

They clearly possess such strength.

However, he insisted on concealing his cultivation level, pretending to be just an ordinary ninth-rank martial artist.

There, they lived a carefree life, tending to flowers and plants.

Pretend to be a rustic country bumpkin.

Is this someone who genuinely has the leisure and inclination, or is he planning to play dumb to outmaneuver others?

Zhu Wushi took a deep breath, and the iron gall in his hand suddenly stopped.

His eyes were deep, and he murmured to himself.

"Ye Fan, oh Ye Fan."

"You truly are the most enigmatic being in this world..."

……

The city wall of Emperor Wu.

Wang Xianzhi gazed at Ye Fan from afar.

His eyes were filled with shock.

He simply couldn't understand it.

Ye Fan has already reached this level.

Even their overall strength is comparable to mine.

He even had to hide his cultivation level and pretend to be a ninth-rank martial artist.

Was it all just a pretense of weakness to outsmart the enemy?

Or do they genuinely have the leisure and inclination?

He didn't understand; he really couldn't figure it out.

He even felt that Ye Fan's existence was an anomaly.

As one of the strongest people in the world.
