Departure

Ning Qi is still adjusting his breathing.

After a night of rest, I've gotten myself back to peak condition.

"Young Master Ning."

After he opened his eyes, he heard Xu Qingqiu's voice outside.

So, he got up and went outside.

"Miss Xu, are we setting off now?"

Ning Qi asked.

"Yes, everyone is ready."

We're about to set off.

Xu Qingqiu nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let's go!"

Ning Qi didn't delay any longer. After agreeing, he set off at the same time as her.

Soon, they descended the mountain.

We arrived at the Mountain Gate.

Several enormous Flying Vessel and giant ships are already prepared here.

So many people?

Ning Qi somewhat curious.

The Myriad Sword Sect shouldn't have that many people.

How come there are so many people all of a sudden?

"Yes, there are also some other sects from the surrounding areas of the Main City among them."

"Everyone gathers here before setting off."

Xu Qingqiu nodded in agreement.

"I see." Ning Qi understood, then continued, "So, which ship are we going to?"

"This giant ship is ours."

"Let's go, let's go upstairs and wait to depart."

After Xu Qingqiu explained, she took the lead and walked over.

Ning Qi didn't delay and followed along.

"Young Master Ning!"

As soon as I stepped onto the deck, Xu Haoran came over.

She greeted him with a smile.

"Young Master Xu!"

Ning Qi also clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Are you coming along today too?"

"Good."

Xu Haoran nodded and continued, "Although it was dangerous for the first group to go, 'fortune favors the bold,' and there were also more opportunities in those risks."

"The next batch will just be picking up what others have left over."

"That's true."

Ning Qi smiled, then continued, "Where are your masters and the others?"

They're all on that giant ship up ahead.

"Make good overall arrangements for the journey."

"Give the order to the surrounding Flying Vessel and other large ships."

Xu Qingqiu explained, "This way, we can avoid any problems."

"Oh, I see."

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi immediately understood what was going on.

This is why we intentionally separated from everyone else and came aboard this giant ship.

It's all for the purpose of Commander the overall situation. This giant ship must house the most powerful members of this group.

"Alright, let's take a look at our cabins!"

Xu Haoran greeted them.

"Please!"

Ning Qi agreed and followed.

Soon, under his guidance, they arrived at the cabin.

Here, many disciples have already chosen their cabins.

"Young Master Ning, please take this room."

After Xu Haoran brought him over, he pointed to a cabin in front and said, "This one was specially reserved for you."

"Inside, there's also Sumeru Courtyard, where you can rest."

"You can cultivate your skills and enjoy beautiful scenery at the same time!"

"Oh? Then thank you so much." Ning Qi somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, arrangements had already been made for him.

"No need to regret it, you're our trump card this time!"

Xu Haoran smiled and continued, "Then they are our honored guests."

"Oh? You already knew."

Ning Qi wasn't surprised.

Xu Qingqiu will definitely tell her fellow disciples and master about this.

After all, this was a surprise move that could catch everyone off guard.

With him around, their team's overall strength can be elevated to a higher level.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself and told my senior brother."

Xu Qingqiu stuck out her tongue and said to Ning Qi.

"It's alright." Ning Qi shook his head, unconcerned. "However, I don't interfere in everything."

"If it's related to the Myriad Sword Sect, I will lend a hand."

"But if it's unrelated and causes me trouble, well, that depends on my mood."

He didn't want to cause too much trouble, nor did he want to take any responsibility.

The only reason I went along was because of Xu Qingqiu.

It's simply impossible for him to shoulder heavy responsibilities.

"Okay, I understand."

"I will explain it to my master!"

Xu Qingqiu nodded, a hint of apology in her eyes.

"Young Master Ning, please enjoy the scenery of this courtyard."

"If anything happens, we can communicate telepathically at any time!"

Xu Haoran said with a smile, "Okay, see you later!"

Ning Qi was about to leave, but then he remembered something and asked, "By the way, how long will it take to get to our destination from here?"

"Normally, if I were traveling alone, it would have taken about ten days to arrive."

"However, with so many people here, it will take at least two or three days to arrive."

Xu Haoran thought for a moment and responded seriously.

"Okay, I'll come out when it's time!"

Ning Qi nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "Then I'll go in and check out the situation first."

"If anything happens, please let me know!"

"Good!"

Xu Haoran nodded.

"Young Master Ning, you are welcome to come out if you are bored."

"There's not much to do on this giant ship," "but the city lord has arranged for an accompanying Flying Vessel."

"There are lots of fun things up there, and also restaurants."

Xu Qingqiu seemed to remember something and suggested, "If you'd like to go take a look, I can take you."

"Oh? That's fine then."

"I'll definitely check it out when I'm bored!"

After Ning Qi agreed, he parted ways with the two of them.

Upon entering the cabin, they went directly into the Sumeru Courtyard.

"Call!"

A breeze blew by here.

It makes you feel refreshed.

"Master, there's actually Formation here, specifically designed to draw in the outside wind and Spiritual Qi."

Medicine Spirit sensed something and said to Ning Qi, "As expected of the City Lord's arrangement, it's truly thoughtful!" "This is far superior to that of the Immortal Race."

"Isn't this exactly what Human Race love to do?"

Ning Qi shook his head, a look of disappointment on his face. "Always focusing your attention on these useless things."

"In comparison, the Immortal Race and the Devil Race are stronger."

That's the reason too.

"Yes, they focus too much on these useless things."

Medicine Spirit nodded in deep agreement and pointed ahead. "Master, look."

"The courtyard is just ahead."

"Let's go in and check the situation!"

"Okay, let's go!"

After Ning Qi agreed, he followed her over.

They soon arrived at the gate of the small courtyard. "Creak!"

Before the two could even open the door...

The vermilion gate was simply opened.

"Young Master Ning."

Several maids came out from inside.

Each and every one of them was incredibly beautiful.

Her figure is also exceptionally charming.

It's obvious they were deliberately placed here.

"Oh? There are still people here."

Medicine Spirit looked at the group of people in front of her and couldn't help but show a curious expression. "Did you even arrange servants for us?"

"This doesn't look like a servant."

Ning Qi shook his head, a serious expression on his face. "Young Master Ning, I was assigned to serve you."

One of the beautiful women stepped forward.

She adopted a coquettish and delicate demeanor.

"Young Master Ning, please come inside."

"We have prepared a delicious meal; please come and enjoy it, young master."

"..."

After she said that, the other beauties also came out one after another.

One by one, they stepped forward and invited Ning Qi to come in.

"Master, this..."

Medicine Spirit hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Never mind all that, let's go."

Ning Qi didn't say anything and just walked in. Since he was already there, he might as well make the best of it.

Since we're already here, there's no need to worry about these things.

After he went inside, several beautiful women followed him.

They could also see through the Medicine Spirit.

This was nothing more than a servant.

After Ning Qi walked in, he saw everything here.

This place is picturesque with clear waters and lush mountains; it's hardly a courtyard.

It's basically a large mansion.

The courtyard alone has three sections.

There were many servants working inside and out.

Many people greeted him respectfully as he entered.

Their faces were filled with awe. "Master, are all these people locked up here forever, just like those in our Inner Realm?"

Medicine Spirit followed him and asked in a low voice.

His eyes were filled with sympathy.

Clearly, people felt that the fate of these people was not worthwhile.

I think so.

Ning Qi spoke to the Medicine Spirit in his mind, "However, this has nothing to do with us."

The world is a vast place, and there are all kinds of people in it.

"There are all kinds of people, and we can't control everyone."

"Yes, that's right."

Medicine Spirit agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "But what about these people now?"

"Those are some beautiful women I'm looking at, and they're no ordinary people!"

"Yes, I know." Ning Qi nodded, then said, "Just ignore it."

"Young master, this way please."

"The food is ready."

The beautiful woman from before stepped forward and invited him again.

Ning Qi had already followed them over.

Wow, delicious food, my favorite!

When Medicine Spirit saw these, she couldn't move.

He stopped, licked his lips, and said, "Never mind all that, let's eat first."

"Come on, sit down and eat with us."

After Ning Qi sat down, he saw that several people were still standing.

So, he invited her with a smile.

"Please enjoy your meal, young master. We've already eaten." The beautiful woman shook her head, a smile appearing on her face. "As long as you're happy, young master."

"If you want me to be happy, sit down and eat with me."

Ning Qi looked at the group and continued, "I know why they sent you here."

"However, there's no need for that in front of me."

"You should eat and drink as you please!"

"When the time comes, once I'm gone, I won't say anything to you."

On the contrary, I'll praise you!

"Young master, are you telling the truth?"

The beautiful woman from before looked on incredulously after hearing his words.

I never expected Ning Qi to say that.

Perhaps he's lying to everyone?

"A gentleman's word is his bond!" Ning Qi smiled, then continued, "Have you all been stationed here year-round?"

"Yes, we were sold into servitude here."

"We'll never leave here in our lifetime Non-Self die!"

The beautiful woman who had spoken to him earlier immediately looked helpless.

Clearly, these people are pitiful.

"Are you all like this?"

After hearing her words, Ning Qi turned his attention to the other people.

Judging from their demeanor and aura, these people clearly did not grow up together.

Among them are people of different bloodlines.

Ning Qi only glanced at it and got a general idea of what it was like.

Among them, they even saw people from the Demon Race.

"I am Demon Race, captured here!" "I was sold here too."

"..."

After he asked the question, people gradually responded to it.

They all wore expressions of helplessness.

"I see."

Ning Qi nodded, then said, "Here, you are free."

"Inform the other servants that they are free to move around."

"No more odd jobs needed."

"Young master, are you telling the truth?"

One of them quickly asked.

"Okay, go ahead."

"I'm going into seclusion to cultivate," Ning Qi said, then got up to go to the backyard.

"Master, I won't go then."

However, Medicine Spirit had no intention of going to the rear with him.

After giving a greeting, they continued to enjoy the delicious food on the table.

Ning Qi ignored this.

We went straight to the backyard.

After he arrived at the backyard, he began looking for a place where he could seclude himself for meditation.

After all, there are still more than ten days left.

There's nothing to do here.

You can't really go and seek entertainment from the people here.

He doesn't have that hobby either.

Ning Qi found a side Side Room and went straight in. After entering, he sat cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing.

Time began to pass.

He spent several days here meditating.

During this time, Medicine Spirit also came by, but it was just too boring.

Then, they went out again.

Similarly, these beautiful women also came to see him.

However, Ning Qi dismissed them all.

He had absolutely no interest in any of these things.

Until this day, Ning Qi's jade Jade Pendant suddenly reacted.

"Call!"

He took it out and infused it with the Immortal-Demon Power.

The Jade Pendant began to fog up. After a burst of fog, Ning Qi saw Xu Qingqiu's illusory figure appear.

"Young Master Ning?"

After Xu Qingqiu appeared, she greeted him with a smile, "How have you been these past few days?"

"It's alright. How's it going on your end?"

Ning Qi nodded and inquired about the situation.

I stayed with my master for two days.

"That's why I haven't had time to contact you."

"Today, they went to discuss issues again."

"So, I'd like to invite you out onto the Flying Vessel for some leisure time!"

Xu Qingqiu explained the situation to Ning Qi.

It turned out they wanted to invite him out for some entertainment.

"Oh, you're going out." Ning Qi heard her say that, then stood up and said, "Okay, wait for me a moment."

"Okay, I'll wait for you on the deck!"

Xu Qingqiu nodded, and then ended their telepathic communication.

After her illusory figure disappeared, Ning Qi also stood up.

I pushed open the door and prepared to leave.

"Master, you're finally out."

Medicine Spirit was sitting on a Rockery.

Seeing him come out, he smiled and came over to greet him.

"Okay, let's go out for a walk!"

Ning Qi nodded, then said directly, "Miss Xu invited me, I'll go and have some fun."

"Ah? She finally remembered us."

"I thought she'd forgotten about us," Medicine Spirit said with a sigh. "She must have had something to do, but not anymore."

Ning Qi continued walking forward, "Let's go."
