It had to be said, Black Lotus's Black Boat was truly fast.
It was even faster than East Floating Immortal Court's inspection ships. In the blink of an eye, it had flown into airspace so far away that the White Lotus Sect group could not catch up no matter how they chased.
Lu Ya could imagine the White Lotus Sect members' bewilderment and confusion. Perhaps a few of them could guess what had happened, but a guess was all it was—there was no evidence.
The White Lotus Sect really was quite nice.
Although rescuing Senior Sister had wasted a tiny bit of effort, he had enjoyed himself quite a bit and conveniently picked up plenty of treasures along the way.
To Lu Ya, treasures were like women. There was no fun in pursuing them deliberately; taking them as one passed by was what true happiness meant.
Beside him, Ning Zhongzi let out a slight sigh of relief.
She had long grown accustomed to Lu Ya's habit of always returning with a full haul.
She simply had not expected that, after he had done so many things that seemed disrespectful, the White Lotus Sect members would still treat Senior Brother with such reverence in the end. That reverence was not merely respect for a powerful man, but heartfelt gratitude as well.
That effortless air made it seem as though everything lay within Senior Brother's grasp.
Still, she remained somewhat worried about Azure Phoenix City. She wished she could shrink the earth to an inch and return in an instant.
After worrying for a long while, Ning Zhongzi finally decided to ask him herself.
"Senior Brother, are you sure the Sect Master will be all right?"
"I'm here, aren't I?"
Ning Zhongzi was slightly stunned.
But aren't you right here with me?
