Chapter 1605: Chapter 1605: Two Groups of Guests
Lin Yingying took out an object and handed it to Ji Wanyu, congratulating her, “Congratulations, you’re now a cultivator at the Soul Ascension Stage.”
Ji Wanyu accepted the object and raised her eyebrows, “Sister Lin, what is this?”
Lin Shanshan eyed the item, giggling, “This is a magical treasure left by the Ancestor of the Long Family for his descendants’ wives, the One Dragon Nine Phoenixes Bracelet, which can be used as a defensive magical weapon.”
Upon hearing the meaning, Ji Wanyu blushed immediately and said shyly, “Isn’t it inappropriate for me to wear this?”
Lin Yingying laughed and said, “Who said it was for you? It’s for your sister. She is already carrying the Long Family’s blood, so she is naturally one of the Long Family!”
Ji Wanyu widened her eyes, momentarily unable to react.
Long Fei covered his face and hurriedly coughed twice.
He immediately knew Lin Yingying was tricking Ji Wanyu. He hadn’t expected her to get deceived so easily due to her simple-mindedness.
Ji Wanyu, realizing her slip of the tongue, quickly corrected herself, “What are you talking about, sister! My sister isn’t married yet, where would the child come from?”
Lin Yingying smiled without a word and instructed, “Take it, consider it a gift for your sister from me. She may not be married yet, but she will be sooner or later.”
“Then I’ll thank Sister Lin on behalf of my sister!”
Ji Wanyu accepted the gift, stuck her tongue out at Long Fei, not expecting that Long Fei’s senior wife was so formidable.
Luckily, she had no designs on Long Fei. If she were to join the Long Family as a concubine, she feared she’d be bullied to death by this senior wife.
As everyone was talking, a disciple came to inform them that Daoist Priest Wang Shun from Clear Spring Island had come to visit.
Long Fei found an excuse, just in time to extricate himself, and hastily instructed everyone, “Alright, it’s getting late. Our vacation is over, let’s head back to Jade Island together!”
“Alright, I’m already hungry!”
Ji Wanyu patted her stomach and laughed, quickly changed the subject, and was the first to leave.
Lin Shanshan watched them chatter and thought to herself, what pregnancy?
Could it be that Ji Wanrong is pregnant?
She skeptically looked at Long Fei, recalling that as they were leaving, Long Fei disappeared together with Ji Wanrong, and it seemed the timing matched.
Feeling guilty, she glanced at her sister, only to see Lin Yingying glance at her, seemingly displeased with her intelligence-gathering work.
A group of people returned to Jade Island, where Long Fei met Wang Shun in the outer hall.
The elder was sitting and drinking tea, and when he saw Long Fei enter, he quickly stood and cupped his fists, “Sect Master Long, I have something to ask, and I’m sorry to bother you!”
Long Fei smiled lightly, “No need to be so formal, we’ll be neighbors from now on, I will surely help if I can.”
Daoist Priest Wang Shun sighed in relief and said, “It’s , last time Sect Master Long mentioned he knew some techniques to investigate geological conditions. As you know, the situation on Clear Spring Island is such that the floating objects in the spring water have suddenly increased, and it will soon contaminate the main spring!”
“This matter is indeed urgent!”
Long Fei nodded and agreed, “Then I will accompany the Daoist on a trip.”
Daoist Priest Wang Shun was delighted and said, “That’s great, if Sect Master Long can help, we will naturally present a generous gift. If not, it’s no problem. The elder is already deeply grateful for Sect Master Long’s intention.”
“No need to be so formal!”
Long Fei smiled faintly, just in time to find an excuse to slip away, he was grateful to Elder Wang Shun for the opportunity.
After the two left, Long Fei informed Liu Ruyan about the trip, asking her to let Lin Yingying know.
He and Elder Wang Shun left together, and on the way, Elder Wang Shun curiously asked Long Fei, “I wonder, young friend, to which sect do you belong? You have such a powerful cultivation level at a young age?”
Long Fei knew that Elder Wang Shun had no ill intentions, only a pure curiosity about his background.
He concocted a story for himself, saying, “My master is a high-level loose cultivator, hidden in famous mountains and great rivers, never appearing easily. So, I’m afraid I can’t reveal his name.”
Elder Wang Shun laughed heartily, “I understand, I understand, cultivators want peace, especially otherworldly figures like Sect Master Long’s master. It was inappropriate of the elder to ask.”
Long Fei smiled lightly, intentionally leaving room for Elder Wang Shun to imagine.
This matter would soon spread, giving those planning against him some pause.
If he directly said he was a rootless loose cultivator, these sea forces would likely become more reckless.
The two descended on Clear Spring Island, located to the north and not very large.
Due to the spiritual spring, from above, it appeared shrouded in mist, as if hidden in clouds.
The island was clearly protected by restrictions.
Elder Wang Shun waved his hand, and the coconut groves on the island quickly parted to reveal a path.
The coconut trees appeared to be bronze, as if cast from metal.
Long Fei raised an eyebrow and asked, “Could this be the legendary Copper Coconut Divine Trees?”
Elder Wang Shun stroked his white beard, proudly saying, “Sect Master Long is indeed well-versed. These are indeed Copper Coconut Divine Trees. They are planted on only a few islands in the East Sea and require a strong metallic aura from the earth veins. The tree roots absorb the metallic aura, making the wood as tough as metal. Unfortunately, these are just 300-year-old saplings, as the old ones were taken away. Otherwise, they would make excellent materials for crafting magical weapons.”
Long Fei nodded, watching as a group of disciples approached and bowed to the elder.
Leading them was a girl with a cold demeanor, dressed in a white dress.
She glanced at Long Fei a few times, disappointed, and asked, “Father, is this the famous doctor you invited?”
Elder Wang Shun frowned, “Insolent, how dare you speak to a Daoist like that? Show some respect and step back!”
The girl pursed her lips in displeasure, arguing with him, “Haven’t I told you, I’ve already invited Young Master Shui Han from Penglai Island to treat the illness. If you bring another, aren’t you slapping him in the face?”
Wang Shun raised an eyebrow.
The girl said, “I just received a message from a flying eagle, he should be arriving soon, right?”
As she spoke, there was a sudden whipping sound from the sky.
A dragon boat skimmed down from the air, with a handsome young man standing at the prow, followed by several men and women.
All were dressed in white robes, with an air of otherworldly elegance, appearing to be in their twenties or so.
The girl called out excitedly, “Brother Shui Han is here.”
She seemed to admire this male cultivator greatly, looking at him with fervent eyes.
The dragon boat descended on the island, and the girl quickly led a group to greet them. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽
Long Fei looked at Wang Shun and said with a frown, “It seems I came at a bad time?”
Wang Shun quickly shook his head to explain, “Young friend, please don’t misunderstand, the elder did not invite this young man, it was just my daughter’s decision. If you don’t want to meet the people from Penglai Island, the elder will make them leave at once.”
Long Fei shook his head with a smile, “No need for that, since they’re here, let’s exchange ideas. Maybe they have a better solution.”
“Young friend has a magnanimous heart, the elder is impressed!”
Elder Wang Shun respectfully bowed, fearing Long Fei would be angry and not only would they not get the help, but it would also bring a great enemy to Clear Spring Island.
This daughter of his was truly worrisome.
Elder Wang Shun watched his daughter approach with a group of gentlemen, chatting and laughing, very delighted.
