Thinking of this, Zhou Qing hurriedly increased his speed.
About half a day later, a sharp whistling sound suddenly ca from one side of the quiet clouds.
Zhou Qing heard the sound, slowly opened his eyes, and looked toward the source of the noise, feeling slightly startled.
"Hey, my friend, we et again! It seems we're heading in the sa direction!" On the deck of the flying ship, Shen Yunzhou was full of smiles, enthusiastically waving his arms, and greeting loudly.
A hint of suspicion flashed in Zhou Qing's eyes.
Could this guy also be heading to the Taiqing Sect?
But maybe not, there are countless paths ahead, leading to innurable places, it could just be a coincidence.
Faced with Shen Yunzhou's enthusiastic greeting, Zhou Qing nodded politely in response.
"Alright then, I'll go ahead. Until we et again if fate allows!"
Shen Yunzhou seed to sense a hint of detachnt from Zhou Qing, and to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding and awkwardness, he accelerated the flying ship right after speaking.
In the blink of an eye, the flying ship turned into a small black dot, disappearing into the vast sea of clouds ahead.
Zhou Qing watched the direction Shen Yunzhou left, slightly shaking his head, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
This scene reminded him of that flying ship numbered six; both its material and performance were exceptional, top-class among flying ships.
Back when Shen Hanyi was injured, he operated that flying ship, racing from the island to the borders of the human race, fully experiencing its performance.
"However—"
Zhou Qing gently stroked the deck of the flying ship beneath his feet, softly laughing.
"A golden nest or a silver nest, it's never as good as your own doghouse. You're quite good too, after all, our Master's Uncle crafted you by hand."
...
Ten days later!
A flying ship steadily landed in front of the mountain gate of the Taiqing Sect, and Elder Wuzhu, seeing this, imdiately led a group out to et them.
Shen Yunzhou saw soone coming, quickly put away the jade scroll map recording the route, and respectfully bowed a little, asking, "Excuse , friend, is this the Taiqing Sect?"
Elder Wuzhu, with eyes like a hawk, scrutinized the young man before him, his expression solemn.
He saw that although the youth was very young and had a youthful appearance, he possessed an astonishing late-stage divinity transformation realm cultivation.
And although his aura was intentionally restrained, the invisible pressure it emitted made Elder Wuzhu feel a slight trepidation.
Elder Wuzhu marveled inwardly, yet his expression remained unchanged.
He then raised his hand, pointing to the large ancient stone at the entrance of the mountain gate, and said, "That's correct, this is indeed the Taiqing Sect. May I ask who you are?"
Shen Yunzhou followed Elder Wuzhu's direction and finally noticed the three large ancient characters carved into the stone monunt—"Taiqing Sect." A look of joy instantly appeared on his face.
"I am Shen Yunzhou, and I have traveled thousands of miles to visit a benefactor, his na is Zhou Qing. Is he cultivating here?" Shen Yunzhou asked.
Upon hearing, Elder Wuzhu's brows furrowed slightly, showing confusion.
Benefactor?
Zhou Qing, to be honest, had more enemies than friends, how did he suddenly beco a benefactor?
"The Junior Sect Leader is not in the mountain gate, he has recently gone out for training."
Elder Wuzhu cautiously responded, scrutinizing Shen Yunzhou, "May I ask what kind of favor you are referring to?"
Upon hearing that Zhou Qing was not there, a flash of disappointnt crossed Shen Yunzhou's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.
Junior Sect Leader?
It seems the benefactor's status is not ordinary.
At this mont, he could only say, "It's nothing, only he himself knows about it. When might he return?"
Elder Wuzhu shook his head slightly, "Our sect's Junior Sect Leader does not report his whereabouts when going out, so I cannot accurately predict his return."
Shen Yunzhou, hearing this, fell into a mont of contemplation, his brows slightly furrowed.
Then, he looked up again at Elder Wuzhu, a sudden feeling of suspicion arising within him.
Putting himself in the other's shoes, if he were in their position, facing a sudden visit from an unknown stranger claiming to be the Junior Sect Leader's benefactor, he would be extrely cautious as well.
With this in mind, perhaps Zhou Qing was not truly out training, and the sect was just being cautious, not wanting outsiders to know his whereabouts.
Thinking of this, Shen Yunzhou cald himself and spoke once more: "I noticed there's a city at the foot of your sect's mountain as I was coming up."
"Since Zhou is not back from training, I'd rather not disturb your sect's peace. I plan to stay in the city at the mountain's foot, waiting for Zhou's return."
He paused slightly, looking earnestly at Elder Wuzhu, and continued, "When he cos back, please tell him the words 'Silver-haired Ugly Girl.' Upon hearing them, he will understand both my identity and purpose."
Elder Wuzhu nodded.
This person spoke courteously and acted thoughtfully, seemingly not harboring any ill intentions.
Yet, considering the gravity of the matter, caution is necessary.
It would be prudent to inform Peak Master Mo for additional safety.
"Rest assured, if the Junior Sect Leader returns, I will certainly convey your ssage." Elder Wuzhu said.
"The city at the mountain's foot is called Fla Dragon City, and there are many industries and informants of our Taiqing Sect within."
"If you encounter any difficulties in the city, you may go to Qingfeng Tower in the city and present this Taiqing Token, and soone will assist you."
Saying this, Elder Wuzhu took out a token with the Taiqing Sect emblem engraved on it and handed it to Shen Yunzhou.
The Junior Sect Leader has been out for over a month now, and his exact return date is uncertain.
If what Shen Yunzhou says is true, and he is indeed here to repay a favor, as the host, the Taiqing Sect certainly should not lose decorum or neglect the guest.
