Chapter 242: Pick Up the Li Family and Board a Ship
The sudden voice startled the three people on the spirit ship.
They came to the railing on the deck and looked down. They saw three figures on the ground.
Among them were Li Mengxi, whom Su Yi knew, and her big brother, Li Zhengxuan. The remaining elder, if nothing unexpected happened, should be the aura he sensed in the inn in the morning.
The old monster of the Li family was also unfathomable.
Old Master Lin Yan, whose name was called, looked at the elder on the ground and narrowed his eyes slightly. He seemed to have thought for a while before he said indifferently, “you are… Li Xuande?”
“Yes, I am.”
The latter said with a light smile. He was dressed in a gray Daoist robe.
Hearing this, Old Master Lin shouted toward the cabin.
“Dingtian! Come out and welcome the guests!”
After saying this, elder Lin leaped and jumped down, leaving Su Yi and Nie Ling who were staring at each other on the deck.
Although they knew Li Mengxi and Li Zhengxuan, it was obvious that it was time for the elders to exchange greetings, so they could not interrupt.
After elder Lin Yan’s voice fell, elder Nie’s reply came from the cabin.
“They’re here, they’re here.”
An afterimage came to the deck from the cabin instantly. Old Master Nie looked at Su Yi and Nie Ling and said, “you guys stay here.”
After saying that, he also leaped up from the Spirit Energy Ship and came to the ground.
At this time, Old Master Lin Yan had already arrived in front of Li Xuande of the Li family. He greeted him indifferently.
“Old Ghost Li, long time no see. Could it be that you guys are also going to partic.i.p.ate in the ancient ruins?”
Old Master Lin Yan came straight to the point and asked.
The other party did not conceal anything and nodded slightly.
At their level, there was not much point in lying. Moreover, the Li family still had a favor to ask from the other party this time around. If they concealed it, they would not be able to show their sincerity.
At this time, Old Master Nie also slowly walked to Li Xuande and stood beside Lin Yan. Old Master Nie said softly, “Old Ghost Li, how have you been these past few years?”
When Li Xuande saw Nie Dingtian, his gaze was shocked, as if he saw something unbelievable.
He looked at Old Master Nie and asked hesitantly.
“Nie Dingtian?”
His tone contained all kinds of questions and uncertainty. He did not dare to imagine how the person who had disappeared would appear in the great desolate region, or in front of him.
When they saw the Spirit Energy Ship that had suddenly appeared, Li Xuande, who had come into contact with this kind of magic treasure, immediately brought the Li Mengxi siblings behind him and rushed over.
They wanted to see if they could get a ride on the Spirit Energy Ship, but the person who had disappeared for nearly 20 years actually appeared in front of them. Who would not be surprised?
Old Master Nie’s face turned black. Why did everyone look like this when they saw him? He waved his hand and said indifferently.
“Alright, Alright, don’t be surprised. In any case, this old man is here now. I didn’t go to the central sky region and I didn’t die.”
Hearing this, Li Xuande also knew that he had lost his composure. Thus, he recovered his senses and looked at Old Master Nie.
“Since Old Ghost Nie has appeared, I believe that you are also going to the ancient ruins, right?”
Li Xuande’s gaze looked towards the spirit ship. When he saw Su Yi and Nie Ling, he immediately understood that the other party was also going to the great desoalte ruins.
Lin Yan and Old Master Nie looked at each other and nodded. They did not deny it.
Nie Dingtian said straightforwardly, “alright, Old Ghost Li, enough with the pleasantries. This spirit ship is mine. If you have anything to say, just say it.”
Hearing this, Li Xuande laughed and said, “hahaha, you Old Ghost Nie aren’t worthy of being one of the four sages back then. You speak straightforwardly. If that’s the case, then I’ll say it straightforwardly.”
“Can you give us a ride on this trip?”
Li Xuande turned his head and pointed at Li Mengxi and Li Zhengxuan.
Initially, when Li Xuande saw Lin Yan, he thought that this spirit energy s.p.a.ceship belonged to Old Master Lin Yan. He didn’t expect that the real owner was actually Nie Dingtian.
It was rumored that Nie Dingtian and Lin Yan had a very good relationship. Now, it seemed like that was indeed the case. At least in Li Xuande’s eyes, Lin Yan and Nie Dingtian were like brothers.
At this moment, Old Master Nie and Lin Yan looked at each other. Their eyes moved slightly, and they had actually completed their communication.
What a terrifying sense of tacit understanding.
Nie Dingtian slowly walked forward and looked at Li Xuande.
“You can, but Old Ghost Li, every time this spirit energy s.p.a.ceship operates, it will consume a large amount of spirit stones. Look at this.”
As he said this, Old Man Nie rubbed his hands slightly. His meaning was very clear.
Seeing this, Li Xuande also lightly smiled and said indifferently, “naturally, I won’t let the two of you waste your money. Promise, this is just a small token of my appreciation.”
As he said this, Li Xuande waved his hand, and a pile of spiritual stones emitting rich spiritual energy appeared in front of the two old men.
With a rough look, there were several thousand spiritual stones in this pile. It could be seen that the Li family was also a wealthy and overbearing family.
After accepting the spirit stones, Old Master Nie waved his hand and said indifferently, “please, Old Ghost Li, get ready to set off.”
With that, Old Master Nie and Old Master lin Yan leaped onto the deck.
Seeing this, Li Xuande also brought Li Mengxi and Li Zhengxuan to the deck of the Spirit Energy Ship.
On the deck, Nie Ling and Su Yi saw the old man of the Li family take out a pile of spirit stones. In the end, Old Master Nie accepted it. He must have made some kind of deal.
As expected, with a flash of a few figures, Li Mengxi and Li Zhengxuan had already arrived on the deck.
At this moment, Old Master Nie jumped onto the bow of the ship and prepared to operate the Spirit Energy Ship. At the same time, Lin Yan and the old man from the Li family, Li Xuande, also arrived on the bow of the ship.
Only a few members of the younger generation were left on the deck.
“Fellow Daoist Su, what a coincidence.”
Li Mengxi looked at Su Yi with an interesting gaze and greeted him.
He felt a wave of awkwardness upon seeing this. This morning, he had even said that they would meet again, but this time, they had met again in less than four hours. Moreover, they were now on the same Spirit Energy Ship.
Seeing this, the corners of Li Mengxi’s mouth curled slightly. She did not continue to pester Su Yi. Instead, he walked to Nie Ling’s side and pulled her to the side to chat about something.
At this moment, only Li Zhengxuan and his eyes were looking at each other in silence. In the end, it was he who slowly spoke to break the awkwardness.
“Big Brother Li, are you also going to the ancient ruins to look for opportunities?”
Up until now, he did not care whether he concealed it or not. Everyone was on the same boat. One could imagine the destination.
The latter nodded when he heard this and then looked at him and said, “yes, although the ancient ruins are extremely dangerous, it’s a great place for us to look for opportunities. Moreover, it opens once every thirty years. It’s a rare opportunity.”
Hearing Li Zhengxuan’s words, he also nodded.
At this time, Old Master Nie controlled the Spirit Energy Shipto move.
Seeing this, Su Yi quickly leaned against the guardrail and held it tightly, but Li Zhengxuan was not so lucky.
The sudden rise and jolt caused Li Zhengxuan to lose his balance and crash into the guardrail.
However, very quickly, since he was a late-stage foundation establishment cultivator after all, Li Zhengxuan quickly stood up and supported himself against the guardrail.
He could be heard saying lightly with slight embarra.s.sment.
“Cough, has senior Nie Dingtian’s spirit ship always been like this?”
Hearing this, Su Yi only wanted to answer. That was completely a problem with Old Master Nie’s operation, but he didn’t say it out loud. After all, the main character was at the bow of the ship. What if he came down and beat him up?
