410 Lone Boat, Black Robe, and Lantern Oar! (1/2)

With his blue shirt and gray hair, an indescribable air of classiness emerged from his back view. It was elegant, yet prideful, as if all the different qualities had combined and formed a unique charisma that made everyone before him lower their heads with unworthiness.

That was so for Jin Duoming. After meeting Zhao Pinfang, he immediately greeted him respectfully.

”Little Ming hereby greets Uncle Zhao.” Jin Duoming spoke hurriedly. In reality, he knew very clearly that this man before him didn't rely on his relationship as someone's Dao partner to attain his current status. Instead, it should be said that Zhao Pinfang's importance to the Federation resulted in him having a Dao partner. Other than his exceptional qualities, his progression process was also extremely smooth.

However, compared to the fame of the Martian Colony Governor, Zhao Pinfang wasn't well known amongst the commoners. He was only prominent in the upper ranks of every faction of society.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Wang Baole had wanted to greet him too. However, hearing that Jin Duoming addressed himself as 'Little Ming', he couldn't help and almost laugh out loud despite Zhao Pinfang's back view making him feel immense pressure. Wang Baole was still well aware of what he needed to do and immediately greeted Zhao Pinfang as well.

”Little Le hereby greets Uncle Zhao.”

Wang Baole's words caused Jin Duoming to raise his eyebrows as he glanced at Wang Baole. Noticing Wang Baole's facial expression upon addressing himself as 'Little Le', he didn't say much, instead, preparing himself for a good show.

At the same time, Zhao Pinfang, who had his back to them and was looking at the mural, had a look of bewilderment flash across his face. However, he regained his composure quickly and slowly turned around.

The moment he turned around and Wang Baole saw his looks clearly, even he, who thought of himself the most handsome person in the Federation, felt guilty of that thought. Despite having reached middle age, Zhao Pinfang's handsome facial features and appearance showed that he was extraordinary. It wasn't difficult to imagine that he was definitely an extremely suave man in his younger days!

Even though he was middle-aged and covered with a head of gray hair, he was still elegant, which made the impact of his handsome looks even greater.

Everyone here is a man… Wang Baole sighed deeply as feelings of jealousy surged continuously in his heart. He quickly suppressed it, but still felt that Zhao Pinfang looked familiar, just that he was unable to recall when he had seen him.

While Wang Baole felt bewildered, Zhao Pinfang, who had turned around, looked calmly at Jin Duoming and Wang Baole.

His gaze merely swept across Jin Duoming, but it was more focused on Wang Baole as he inspected him in detail for a moment. In the end, he snorted.

That shocked Wang Baole and sent chills into his heart. Zhao Pinfang retracted his gaze and turned around again to face the mural. From the beginning until the end, he didn't say a word.

That made Wang Baole even more nervous and uneasy. He quickly glanced at Jin Duoming, his eyes revealing his intention to ask about the situation. Jin Duoming also blinked, trying to convey the message that he wasn't sure what was going on either.

Wang Baole took a deep breath. He felt that something was amiss but didn't know where the problem lay. He began making speculations in his mind.

Why is he staring at me? He even snorted… That's not right. There's something wrong here. Could it be… Wang Baole thought about it, and a thought suddenly flashed in his head. He was thinking about whether Zhao Pinfang, like his Dao partner, had really wanted to ask him to be their son-in-law!

Seeing that Wang Baole was growing concerned again, Jin Duoming laughed and didn't bother to explain the situation. He stood obediently at the side. As for Zhao Pinfang, he didn't care about the worries written clearly on Wang Baole's face. Instead, after staring at the mural for a long time, he opened his mouth slowly and spoke the first sentence since the trio had met.

”Come closer, the two of you. Tell me what you see in this mural.”

As Zhao Pinfang's calm voice reverberated, Jin Duoming stepped forward immediately and looked extremely serious as he inspected the mural. Wang Baole also quickly put aside the emotions that he was experiencing and stepped beside Zhao Pinfang, raising his head to look at the mural.

He had glanced at the mural previously, and now that he was looking at it up close—at the devastated planet, and at spirits from the planet's deceased individuals accumulating into a river as they blended into the cosmos—the mural looked a little bizarre. However, it was difficult to see what was going on exactly, especially since Wang Baole was still thinking about the weird glance that Zhao Pinfang threw at him. Therefore, Wang Baole didn't speak; instead, he pretended to look at the mural in detail.

However, as he looked, Wang Baole's pupils suddenly constricted. He was previously a distance away and didn't feel it strongly, but now that he was near it and observing the mural, he suddenly felt an aura emanating from the mural…

That aura was so weak that others were unable to sense it. However, to Wang Baole, who was trained in the Dark Art, it was extremely familiar. To confirm what he had felt, he even went forward to touch it. The moment he touched the mural, Wang Baole was shocked. He was very sure that it was Dark Qi that was being given off by the mural!

”Little Ming, you go first.” As Wang Baole was still reveling in shock, Zhao Pinfang spoke calmly.
