"This..." Zhen Minghui was slightly stunned. He glanced at Cui Hongshen, unable to understand what was meant.
"Fly west!" Cui Hongshen did not understand either, but he knew that since Xiao Hua had spoken, it was best to listen to him.
Yet after flying for half an hour, Xiao Hua spoke again. "All right, climb higher. Continue flying... northeast!"
"Yes!" Zhen Minghui answered and adjusted their direction once more.
For two days like this, Xiao Hua gave several instructions each day. Their direction of flight varied, and so did their altitude!
Zhen Minghui and Cui Hongshen had been somewhat puzzled at first, but gradually... they came to some understanding!
Astonishment flashed through both their eyes, yet beneath that astonishment lay even greater delight!
After another change in direction, Dui Ling could no longer hold herself back. She blinked and leaned close to Xiao Hua, asking softly, "Xiao Hua, aren't you just giving the captains the runaround? Flying high one moment and low the next? Could there be some sort of restriction in the air?"
Looking at this female cultivator who had always called him by name, Xiao Hua smiled. "Why is no one else asking? Why must you ask? Are you standing up for Zhen Minghui?"
"No!" Dui Ling blinked at him. "I'm on your side. Why would I stand up for them? It's just that they seem to be flying quite hard, so I wanted to ask. We're magnanimous people; there's no need to lower ourselves to their level!"
"Hehe, if they don't want to suffer, they should get a higher-grade Flowing Cloud Flying Boat. Then we'd only need to put spirit stones in it and activate it a little. With such a most basic flying boat, they really do need to put in some effort!" Xiao Hua said
