Chapter 489 – An Xiaonan! (1/2)
Night. Yang Ye arrived at the docks before that manager from the merchant group immediately appeared in front of him.
“Why are you only here now? The s.h.i.+p would have left in 15 more minutes!” The manager spoke with slight anger.
Yang Ye was just about to say something when the manager waved his hand and pulled Yang Ye up the enormous s.h.i.+p that spanned a length of over 1km, and he spoke while walking. “Our merchant s.h.i.+p usually prohibits the entrance of outsiders. However, you seemed like a good person to me and were in a rush to travel to the central territory, so I felt sympathetic and allowed you to board the s.h.i.+p. However, the high-ups would definitely suspect something if someone extra were to suddenly appear on the s.h.i.+p. So, I’ve prepared an ident.i.ty for you. You’re my nephew from this moment onward, understand?”
The corners of Yang Ye’s mouth twitched. I seemed like a good person? It was probably my top-grade energy stones that looked good, right!? Yang Ye nodded and said, “I’ll obey all of Manager Yun’s instructions!”
At this moment, all he wanted was to avoid the pursuit of those four sects of the Ocean of Anarchy. He would still have to avoid such a huge group of experts even if he were at the Exalt Realm, let alone the Spirit Realm!
Yang Ye felt that his strength wasn’t bad amongst his peers, but he didn’t think that he could be invincible in the Exalt Realm as well. Confidence was a good thing, but conceit was no different than courting death.
Manager Yun’s expression eased up greatly when he heard Yang Ye, and he said, “The 1st level is where the goods are stored, and there are experts guarding it. Don’t go there or you’ll definitely die. The 2nd level is where the servants rest. You aren’t a familiar face to them, so don’t go there as well, otherwise, it might cause some trouble. As for the 3rd level….”
When he spoke up to this point, Manager Yun’s expression became solemn as he said, “The 3rd level is where the Young Miss and Young Master rest. You absolutely must not go there. If you were to offend them, then you won’t be able to survive no matter how many lives you have!”
Yang Ye smiled and said, “Manager Yun, how about we do it like this. I’ll just follow you, and I’ll just do whatever you say. Alright?”
Manager Yun nodded and said, “Hmm, you’re really sensible kid! You’re really promising!”
Yang Ye felt speechless.
The s.h.i.+p was very large. It was over 1km long, over 300m wide, and it went very high up as well. There were numerous talisman markings all around the s.h.i.+p, and it was exactly these markings that made it so that this s.h.i.+p could be moved with energy stones instead. This s.h.i.+p could be sailed so long as it had energy stones, as for the consumption of energy stones and the speed of the s.h.i.+p, that depended on the grade of the markings!
Besides possessing the ability to move the s.h.i.+p, the talisman markings could be utilized to form a defensive formation and various offensive formations. After all, there were all sorts of dangers in the boundless ocean.
According to Manager Yun, the defensive formation was something that even a fifth rank Exalt Realm expert couldn’t break through, whereas, the offensive formation could slaughter Exalt Realm experts like dogs if one possessed sufficient energy stones!
Yang Ye was quite surprised when he heard this. This s.h.i.+p is that strong? It can slaughter Exalt Realm experts like dogs? Manager Yun really looked down upon Yang Ye for a while when he noticed Yang Ye’s surprise, and he said that Yang Ye had grown up in the southern territory and possessed no knowledge, so he intended to help Yang Ye widen his knowledge so as to avoid losing face at the central territory.
Yang Ye didn’t mind Manager Yun’s disdain, and he even modestly sought guidance. So, Yang Ye gained a huge amount of information from their conversations.
As they conversed with each other, they’d arrived on the s.h.i.+p without even realizing it. However, they were stopped by a guard at the ninth rank of the Spirit Realm when they were about to step foot onto the s.h.i.+p. But Manager Yun had spoken a few words and gave 2 top-grade energy stones to the guard before the guard smiled, nodded, and allowed the two of them to ascend the s.h.i.+p.
Manager Yun provided Yang Ye with a random room, and he asked Yang Ye to stay there and not go anywhere else. After that, he left.
The room wasn’t large, and there were some miscellaneous items in it. It was obvious that it was an unused room. Yang Ye didn’t mind it. He just sat cross-legged on the ground and started to cultivate. At this moment in time, he didn’t want to waste any time at all, and he intended to cultivate as long as he had the time!
Because he truly didn’t have a sense of security in this world without possessing formidable strength!
A while later, he suddenly heard footsteps from the hallway, and it caused Yang Ye to frown. Meanwhile, the door to the room was opened before Manager Yun walked in with another person. The person he brought was a young man around the age of 17. He was a handsome man in a wide blue robe. The young man was slightly stunned when he saw Yang Ye, and he had clearly not expected someone else to be here.
“Right, both of you stay right here and don’t go anywhere else. Understand?” As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Yun turned around and left, and only Yang Ye and the young man remained within the room.
Yang Ye thought for a moment before he came to an understanding. The young man was probably in the same situation as he was, a stowaway! When he thought up to this point, Yang Ye withdrew his gaze and continued cultivating with his eyes closed.
The young man seemed to be quite vigilant towards Yang Ye, and he remained quite far away. Only his gaze was constantly on Yang Ye. Yang Ye opened his eyes and glanced over when he sensed this gaze, and then his gaze descended onto the young man’s chest in the end. With the strength he possessed, just a glance at the young man before him had allowed him to discern that this was no young man, and it was a woman dressed as a man. However, it wasn’t his business at all. She was just a stowaway like him, and they just happened to meet here!
