Journey to Sea God Island

The next morning.

Li Changsheng took Ye Han Yue to a nearby town early to purchase the supplies they needed.

After buying the supplies, the master and disciple arrived at an inn.

When the inn's waiter saw them, he happily approached them and said with a smile, "What would you two like? Our dishes are famous far and wide!"

Hearing this, Li Changsheng instructed, "Waiter, bring us some of all your famous breakfast dishes. Make it quick—we still have a journey ahead of us." With that, he took Ye Han Yue to a table near the entrance and sat down.

"Understood. I'll go right away." With that, the waiter quickly left.

Before long, the waiter brought out the breakfast dishes and respectfully said, "Enjoy your meal, sir and madam. I won't disturb you any longer."

Li Changsheng did not think much of it. He simply waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can go."

But Ye Han Yue was different. Her face flushed red like an apple, and the waiter's form of address for the master and disciple was the only thing in her mind.

"Sir and madam!"

"Sir and madam!"

"..."

Seeing his disciple lost in thought, Li Changsheng reminded her, "What are you thinking about, Xiaoyue? Eat. It won't taste good once it gets cold."

"Oh, right, right, eat." Startled by Li Changsheng's reminder, Ye Han Yue answered haltingly.

Just as the master and disciple were eating, the waiter's curses suddenly sounded from outside the inn.

"Where did this beggar come from? Get lost! Don't loiter here and interfere with our inn's business!"

"Big brother, please, I haven't eaten in a long time. Evil Soul Masters destroyed my home, and they killed my family too. Please have pity on me and give me something to eat."

"Get lost! If you don't leave, I'll start hitting you!"

"Big brother, please..."

Ye Han Yue looked at Li Changsheng and said, "Master, I'll go take a look."

"Go ahead."

After receiving Li Changsheng's permission, Ye Han Yue went outside the inn. She saw a filthy little girl clinging to the waiter's leg and crying nonstop. The waiter showed no pity for the girl and raised his hand to strike her.

"Stop!" Ye Han Yue called out to stop him.

When the waiter saw that it was Ye Han Yue who had spoken, he immediately changed his attitude. "Esteemed guest, I'll chase her away right now. I won't let her offend your eyes."

Hearing this, Ye Han Yue immediately stepped forward and picked up the girl. "This child is with us." Without waiting for the waiter to respond, she walked straight back into the inn.

Returning to the table, Ye Han Yue placed the girl on a stool beside them and gently said, "Eat. Don't be shy."

Hearing this, the girl immediately grabbed the breakfast on the table and wolfed it down.

Looking at the girl, Li Changsheng asked Ye Han Yue, "What happened?"

"This child was begging the waiter for food outside. Not only did he refuse, he even wanted to hit her. I felt sorry for her, so I brought her back." Ye Han Yue looked at the girl wolfing down food before her, her eyes full of pity.

"We'll be leaving soon, and it won't be convenient to take her where we're going. Since she's pitiful, I'll buy her a house later. Once we return from our business, we can take her with us." Looking at the pitiful girl, Li Changsheng made arrangements for her future.

"That's true. She might be in danger if she goes with us. It's better for her to stay here." Ye Han Yue was also very reassured by her Master's arrangements.

After the three finished breakfast, Li Changsheng bought the little girl a house and said to her, "Little girl, where the two of us are going will be very dangerous, so we can't take you with us. Stay here for the time being. We've arranged everything for you."

"Mm, I understand, big brother." After hearing Li Changsheng's explanation, the little girl understood that she was too weak and would very likely hold them back if she stayed with them.

Seeing how sensible the little girl was, Li Changsheng tapped her forehead with a finger and directly transmitted the Nine Shadows Scripture and a diagram of the human body's acupoints into her mind. "This is my gift to you. Cultivate well. I hope that when we meet again, you'll already be a Soul Master."

"Thank you, big brother. I'll definitely cultivate diligently and become a powerful Soul Master." The little girl answered firmly, silently encouraging herself in her heart. You can do it.

After Li Changsheng and Ye Han Yue bid farewell to the little girl, Ye Han Yue asked in confusion as they walked down the road, "Master, she may be pitiful, but you didn't need to pass on a cultivation technique to her, did you?"

"When I touched her earlier, I examined her body. Her physique is far stronger than that of children her age. Her deceased parents were likely high-level Soul Masters as well. Moreover, I could sense that her Innate Soul Power is not low, and there is also a familiar aura within her body. If she is properly nurtured, her future achievements will not be low." Li Changsheng patiently explained.

After saying that, Li Changsheng took Ye Han Yue and hurried onward.

A day later, at the seaside, dozens of large ships were docked at the harbor. Qian Xun Ji stood at the harbor with several Soul Masters.

"Father, all the warships and supplies have been prepared. We can board and set sail now." Qian Xun Ji said proudly to Qian Daoliu.

"Mm, not bad. During the time I'm away on this expedition, Spirit Hall will be left to you. Don't disappoint me," Qian Daoliu said approvingly.

"Don't worry, Father. I will manage Spirit Hall well and will not disgrace you," Qian Xun Ji said.

"Alright, enough talk. We must depart."

"Then I wish Father success in his expedition and a victorious return."

"Good. Set sail!"

As Qian Daoliu's voice reached everyone, large numbers of Soul Masters began boarding the ships one after another. Before long, the fleet slowly sailed into the ocean and disappeared from sight.

Qian Xun Ji watched the group's retreating figures until they vanished from view. Then, he took the remaining Soul Masters and left the harbor, returning to Spirit Hall one after another.

After Qian Xun Ji and the others had left, Li Changsheng and Ye Han Yue finally arrived at the harbor. When they failed to see any Spirit Hall ships there, Li Changsheng casually stopped a fisherman and asked:

"Uncle, I heard that Spirit Hall was supposed to set sail today. Why don't I see any of Spirit Hall's ships?"

Seeing this, the old man merely said, "Spirit Hall's ship left the harbor not long ago. You're too late."

Hearing that Spirit Hall's ship had already departed, Lian Changsheng regretted it inwardly. "I should've hurried more. I thought I'd be able to catch Spirit Hall's ship."

Lian Changsheng then continued, "Then do you know of any other ship that can reach that mysterious island in the distance?"

"I do. See that large ship over there? That belongs to Purple House. They also know the route to that island," the old man said, pointing at the ship.

"Thank you, sir." With that, Lian Changsheng flew toward the ship with Ye Han Yue.

After speaking with the captain, Lian Changsheng and Ye Han Yue successfully boarded Purple House's large ship.

Through their conversation, they also learned that Purple House often conducted business with that mysterious island, which was why they knew the sea route there.
