Chapter 1620: Chapter 1620: Building Good Relationships
“Alright.”
Qian Jiyun chuckled lightly and nodded.
He reached out to take the Dragon Soul from her hand and directly threw it into the void.
The Dragon Soul wanted to struggle, but unfortunately, being merely a soul, no amount of struggling was of any use, and in the end, it could only be tossed into the void.
“Zhan Beiye, it’s time to set out,” he called out to the second floor.
“Coming.”
Zhan Beiye seemed to have been waiting for his cue, for no sooner had Qian Jiyun finished speaking than he responded.
Then, An Jiuyue saw several people from Su Tang carrying Xiang Qiyan, who was still unconscious, downstairs. Qian Jiyun walked over to the side of the stretcher and looked at Xiang Qiyan.
“Has he been unconscious all this time?”
“He woke up once in between, huh,” said Zhan Beiye with a heavy sigh.
Otherwise, they would not have known that the man behind the scenes was Xiang Qifeng. Brother turning against brother was what he hated the most, but it seemed that no one from the royal family could escape such a fate.
“I learned from their mouths that it will take a whole month by ship to reach the Zhedu Sea Area,” Qian Jiyun said.
He had learned this from a group of students. At that time, he was somewhat worried about Xiang Qiyan, who remained unconscious. Now, he shifted his gaze to An Jiuyue.
“An Jiuyue, how long can Xiang Qiyan’s body hold up?”
“With me here, there won’t be any problems.”
An Jiuyue’s words were like a calming elixir, patting everyone’s hearts and allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.
The Zhedu Sea Area was far, so far that even a month’s journey by ship might not suffice, and it required someone very familiar with the sea to navigate.
“On the coast, my subordinates have already arranged everything. The ship was bought, along with the crew. We can set out at any time,” Su Tang said.
“Then what are we waiting for? Qian Jiyun, An Jiuyue, let’s set out. If you need to rest, do so on the ship,” Zhan Beiye said.
“Let’s set out.”
Qian Jiyun bent down, scooped An Jiuyue into his arms, and then headed for the inn’s exit.
As for the corpses inside the inn, no one paid them any mind. In the Feather Abyss Plane, such large-scale killings were common, and soon people would gather to strip the corpses of their belongings and then drag them away to either bury them or set them aflame.
…
By the coast.
Gu Qingyu and her group had already rented a boat.
However, they didn’t immediately set off for the Zhedu Sea Area but waited on the coast for Qian Jiyun, hoping for another encounter.
“In my opinion, we’d be better off waiting for that person at the entrance to the Zhedu Sea Area rather than here. The coastline is too vast, and who knows if he will come this way,” said the female student beside Gu Qingyu, shrugging her shoulders.
She was extremely rational, unlike Gu Qingyu and the others, who went weak at the knees at the sight of a man’s power and insisted on waiting there, refusing to take a single step further.
Moreover, she didn’t believe that throwing themselves at someone like this would earn them any favor.
“That town is the closest to here; they will definitely come this way,” Gu Qingyu, on the other hand, was absolutely certain. She was determined to wait for that man.
Even if she couldn’t become the object of his affections, it was still important to establish a good relationship. A man so young and yet so powerful was worth knowing, wasn’t he?
“Junior Sister Qingyu, you…”
“Who are you all, and why are you on our boat?”
