The world reincarnates, each time a new talent!

194: Xia Ke Island, get on board!”So it is Alliance Leader Yue. I was blind to not recognize you last time, even mistaking Alliance Leader Yue for Manor Lord Shi. I truly failed to recognize a great man!”

At this moment, Bei Haishi also walked up, his face filled with a servile smile.

Although he had actually guessed it long ago, he now acted as if he had just found out.

”It was I who did not reveal my identity; at the time, it was merely to save myself some trouble.”

Ning Yuan also appeared very composed.

He then looked at Bei Haishi with a half-smile, ”What, does Mr. Bei have some thoughts?”

”No, of course not.”

Bei Haishi immediately waved his hands, then sighed with emotion, ”No wonder the experts of my Chang Le Gang were no match. It turns out we were facing Alliance Leader Yue. Had I known Alliance Leader Yue’s identity earlier, why would we have resorted to weapons? We would have personally delivered the person to you.”

Bei Haishi spoke humbly.

While the two were talking, a large ship gradually appeared on the distant sea. As it approached, everyone saw its full appearance.

The crowd, which had been buzzing with discussion, all looked up.

”The ship is here.”

”It’s the ship from Xia Ke Island!”

”It’s finally here!”

There was joy, worry, and curiosity on everyone’s faces.

The worry was naturally because the last batch of people who went to Xia Ke Island never returned, which truly made one’s heart full of trepidation.

This Xia Ke Island was like a demon’s den, devouring countless experts.

They were naturally worried that they too would never return.

But the Rewards and Punishments Tokens of Xia Ke Island did not allow them to refuse.

However, thinking that an expert like the Five Mountains Alliance Chief was also going, many people felt much more at ease.

”Even the Five Mountains Alliance Chief is going. It seems this Xia Ke Island is indeed terrifying. However, although Zhang San and Li Si are strong, they are probably no match for Alliance Leader Yue, right?”

”For Alliance Leader Yue to go to Xia Ke Island, there seems to be only one reason: there must be something there that attracts him.”

”If even an expert like Alliance Leader Yue can be attracted, it seems Xia Ke Island is indeed worth a visit.”

Some quick-witted people immediately had such conjectures.

At this time, the huge wooden ship slowly docked.

On the bow of the ship stood Zhang San and Li Si with their hands behind their backs.

”Everyone, please board the ship!”

Zhang San and Li Si spoke at the same time, their voices loud and penetrating in all directions.

Ning Yuan took the first step to board.

”I have long heard of the fame of Xia Ke Island’s laba congee. Yue would also like to taste it.”

Ning Yuan flew directly onto the ship and spoke without ceremony.

Seeing Ning Yuan, the arrogance on Zhang San and Li Si’s faces vanished. They turned slightly to show respect. ”The Five Mountains Alliance Chief’s presence brings light to our humble Xia Ke Island. I believe the two Island Lords will be delighted to see an expert like Alliance Leader Yue.”

The two said.

They had already reported the matter to the two Island Lords, Dragon and Mu.

Island Lords Dragon and Mu were very interested in an expert like Ning Yuan, who had risen suddenly and whose strength had increased greatly.

Because this meant the other party might have gained enlightenment and must have extremely high Comprehension Ability. Perhaps he could comprehend the Tai Xuan Sutra; this was exactly the kind of talent they needed.

Therefore, besides being wary of his strength, this was also a reason for them to be respectful.

”I also wish to meet the two Island Lords of Xia Ke Island.”

Ning Yuan said indifferently with his hands behind his back. Soon, someone led Ning Yuan to the VIP quarters on the upper deck of the passenger ship.

Following closely behind, others also began to board the ship one after another.

Even Xiang Wentian of the Sun Moon Divine Sect appeared on the ship.

However, only Ning Yuan’s residence was the highest, the best, and had the widest view.

Most of the others were in ordinary small single rooms, which could be called cramped dwellings.

Some people expressed dissatisfaction, but when Zhang San and Li Si took action, these people could only endure it.

On one ship, the social ranks were clearly divided... on the top floor.

”This Xia Ke Island truly divides people into clear social ranks. Even these rooms are divided according to the level of strength.”

Shi Qing sighed with emotion, then looked at Ning Yuan and said gratefully, ”I have troubled Brother Yue to help again. Otherwise, it would have been truly difficult to face Sir Weide’s accountability today.”

”After all these days, you two still haven’t explained to me exactly what Shi Zhongyu did in the Snow Mountain Sect. Is it really that serious?”

Ning Yuan asked curiously, his gaze falling on Shi Qing and Min Rou.

Both of them showed embarrassed expressions.

”Sigh! I’ll be the one to say it.”

Shi Qing sighed softly and recounted the events.

”So that’s what happened.”

Ning Yuan realized, then shook his head. ”Shi Zhongyu indeed should not have done such a thing.”

Shi Qing and Min Rou both showed embarrassment upon hearing this. Then, Ning Yuan’s tone shifted, ”However, this matter cannot be said to be entirely Shi Zhongyu’s fault. He is, after all, young and frivolous, full of youthful vigor. It’s normal to be impulsive; it’s just that his method was wrong.”

”Shi Zhongyu indeed deserves punishment for this, but his crime is not punishable by death. After all, nothing irreversible happened, and Bai Zizai’s granddaughter was not harmed.”

”Sigh, actually I think so too. Although Yu’er was wrong and should be punished, he shouldn’t have to die. Unfortunately, the people of the Snow Mountain Sect simply won’t give him a chance...”

Min Rou’s eyes turned slightly red. If it weren’t for Ning Yuan’s help this time, there was no telling when her son would have been handed over by Shi Qing.

Given the Snow Mountain Sect’s current attitude toward Shi Zhongyu, if he fell into their hands, there would definitely be no way for him to live.

Shi Qing became increasingly embarrassed on the side.

After all, his stance had always been to hand Shi Zhongyu over to the Snow Mountain Sect for disposal.

Although he couldn’t bear it either, for the sake of reputation and righteousness, he could only do so.

”Rest assured, I will definitely see this matter through to the end. No matter what, Shi Zhongyu is now like half a son to me. I naturally cannot let him atone with his life.”

Ning Yuan spoke words of reassurance.

”Thank you, Brother Yue.”

Shi Qing on the side also looked grateful, but then showed a hesitant expression, ”But I wonder how Brother Yue will resolve this? After all, we were the ones being rude first. We must never bully the weak or use martial force to suppress others. We still need to find a middle ground so that the Snow Mountain Sect can be satisfied with our account. For this, no matter the price, my Xuan Su Manor is willing to pay.”

”Brother Shi, rest assured. As the Five Mountains Alliance Chief and the leader of the Righteous Path, it is naturally impossible for me to do anything like using my power to suppress others. I will make the people of the Snow Mountain Sect satisfied.”

Ning Yuan smiled slightly.

”Then I shall trouble Brother Yue. Junior Sister and I will not disturb Brother Yue’s rest.”

Shi Qing stood up to take his leave.

Min Rou on the side could only stand up as well.

As Ning Yuan saw the two to the door, while Shi Qing’s back was turned, Ning Yuan suddenly gave Min Rou’s buttocks a squeeze.

Min Rou’s eyes widened, and she almost cried out in alarm. She turned back to look at Ning Yuan, her eyes full of panic.

Ning Yuan, however, winked at her and gave her a look.

Although Min Rou understood, she still looked apprehensive and hesitant.

”Brother Yue, please stay.”

At this time, Shi Qing suddenly turned around and said.

Min Rou also hurriedly composed the strange expression on her face, turned around, and bowed slightly.

After returning to her room, Min Rou was also preoccupied and distracted.

”Junior Sister? Junior Sister?”

Shi Qing called out twice before Min Rou snapped out of it. ”What’s wrong?”

Min Rou asked casually.

”Junior Sister is still worried about Yu’er’s matter, right? Since Brother Yue has promised, I think we can perfectly resolve our grudge with the Snow Mountain Sect this time. You don’t need to worry anymore.”

Shi Qing comforted her with a smile.

Hearing this, Min Rou came to her senses and snorted coldly, ”For our own child, we still need an outsider’s help. I really...”

Min Rou casually found an excuse for herself to cover up her abnormality.

Shi Qing was also a bit embarrassed, but then he laughed again, ”Brother Yue is now Yu’er’s adoptive father; he is family to us. How can he be considered an outsider? Junior Sister, you are overthinking.”

Hearing the words ’family’ from Shi Qing’s mouth, Min Rou felt her cheeks burning.

With their current relationship, they really were ’family’ now!

But how could she say such words? Min Rou only snorted, turned her back, and said as if in a fit of pique, ”Everything has to rely on Big Brother Yue. I might as well have married Big Brother Yue directly; that way Yu’er would never be bullied, and that Bai Zizai would certainly not dare to be so overbearing, demanding Yu’er’s life for his granddaughter.”

”Junior Sister, what are you saying?!”

Being spoken to like this by Min Rou, Shi Qing was also a bit embarrassed, but he loved his wife most of all, so he immediately said with a smile, ”Junior Sister, unfortunately, Brother Yue already has Heroine Ning. You don’t need to think about that.”

”What? Is it possible that if there were no Ning Zhongze, you would really be willing for me to marry Big Brother Yue?”

Min Rou tilted her head, looked at Shi Qing, and suddenly asked back.

Shi Qing was a bit embarrassed by the question and hurriedly explained, ”Junior Sister, what are you talking about? How could I bear to part with you?”

”Besides, could you bear to part with me, Junior Sister?”

Shi Qing asked back with a smile.

”Hmph.”

Min Rou turned her head and said nothing more. ”Forget it, the room here is really small and stuffy. I’m going out for some air. You rest first.”

Min Rou stood up and walked out the door.

Shi Qing sighed softly and did not stop her.

As the giant ship sailed on the sea, looking at the rising and falling waves under the moonlight, a look of struggle appeared on Min Rou’s face.

”He actually asked me to go to his room tonight. Although this ship is large, there are many people and eyes. If someone sees me entering his room, wouldn’t it...”

Min Rou looked hesitant, but if she didn’t go, the other party might come looking for her.

With the other party’s audacity, he had previously dared to make her kneel and do that kind of thing right in front of the drunken Shi Qing.

If she didn’t go, there was no telling what else might happen.

This made Min Rou feel extremely anxious inside.

After a long time, Min Rou sighed softly and made up her mind.

”Fine, fine, if I have to go, I’ll go. At worst, I’ll be more alert, finish as quickly as possible, and then go back, lest Senior Brother becomes suspicious.”

Min Rou made up her mind, glanced around, and after finding no one, carefully stepped onto the top floor.

Ning Yuan lived on the highest floor, and currently, he was the only one living on this floor.

Min Rou didn’t even knock; she pushed the door and walked in.

Just as she turned around to close the door, she was pulled into an embrace.

”Madam, I have missed you so!”

Ning Yuan blew air into Min Rou’s ear.

Min Rou’s face immediately turned bright red. After a slight struggle, she said, ”What are you doing? This ship is only so big, with many people and eyes. If you aren’t afraid of being seen, I am!”

Min Rou said with dissatisfaction.

”Then why did Madam still come?”

Ning Yuan asked playfully.

Min Rou’s expression froze, then she snorted, ”I was only afraid you would relentlessly come looking for me.”

”In that case, it seems Madam is already prepared.”

Ning Yuan squeezed Min Rou’s chin, stared into her eyes, and asked with a smile.

Min Rou’s words faltered. In the end, she could only steel her heart, close her eyes, and say, ”Make it quick!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Min Rou felt herself being lifted up, then landing on the bed.

One hour later.

”Strange, why hasn’t Junior Sister returned yet?”

Shi Qing stood up and walked out of the room in confusion. ”I’ll go to the deck and have a look.”

Shi Qing was worried that Min Rou might have encountered some danger, he thought.

After all, on this ship, half of the experts in the Jianghu were gathered. Although Min Rou had the beautiful title of Ice and Snow Divine Sword in the Jianghu and her strength was by no means comparable to ordinary people, on this ship, she was nothing special.

There were many people stronger than the couple, not to mention Min Rou was alone.

When someone didn’t return for more than an hour, Shi Qing naturally felt worried.

”Brother Yue, so you are here too.”

As soon as Shi Qing stepped onto the deck, he saw Ning Yuan and Min Rou standing together at the bow of the ship, and immediately greeted them with a smile.

Min Rou’s body stiffened slightly, appearing somewhat unnatural.

Ning Yuan, however, turned around, also with a face full of smiles. ”I couldn’t sleep, so I came out for a walk and happened to run into Junior Sister Min.”

”So that’s how it is. I also couldn’t sleep, so I came out to take a look.”

Shi Qing came to the bow and said casually.

He clearly didn’t have any suspicions.

After all, Ning Yuan’s name as the Gentleman Sword was not fake. Most importantly, Shi Qing believed in what kind of person his wife was.

Therefore, he never thought about it in any other way.

”I’m sleepy now, I’ll go back to rest first.”

Min Rou hurriedly found an excuse to leave.

After just finishing those things, she had to face the only two men who had ever entered her body in this life; clearly, Min Rou could not face them together.

”Go ahead, Junior Sister Min.”

Ning Yuan said with a smile.

He then continued to chat with Shi Qing.

Upon returning to her room, Min Rou also hurriedly took out a change of clothes, changed her undergarments, and wiped her body.

”Brother Yue, coming to Xia Ke Island this time, why didn’t you come with Heroine Ning?”

Shi Qing asked casually.

Perhaps because Ning Zhongze had been mentioned today, Shi Qing remembered.

”Sigh!”

Ning Yuan sighed softly and shook his head. ”Junior Sister is pregnant and shouldn’t travel long distances. Moreover, the Five Mountains have just been settled, and Mount Hua also needs Junior Sister to take charge of the situation. I had no choice but to come alone.”

”So that’s it.”

Shi Qing realized, then immediately congratulated him, ”I didn’t expect Heroine Ning to be pregnant. Truly, congratulations, Brother Yue.”

”Does Brother Shi not have plans to have another child with Junior Sister Min Rou?”

Ning Yuan asked with a smile.

”Us?”

Shi Qing was stunned, then gave a few dry laughs. ”Hahaha, actually...”

Shi Qing sighed softly, ”Actually, how could I not want to? It’s just that Junior Sister and I had a pair of twins back then. Unfortunately, one of them was lost and its whereabouts are unknown. Junior Sister has had a knot in her heart ever since, so...”

Speaking of this, Shi Qing shook his head again, ”This is also why Junior Sister dotes on Shi Zhongyu so much. She has spoiled this child, raising him with a body full of bad habits.”

”So that’s it.”

Ning Yuan ’realized’, ”Could it be that you two never looked for him?”

”Who exactly had the audacity to do such a thing?”

Ning Yuan asked curiously.

Shi Qing shook his head. ”I have no clue either. Let’s not talk about this anymore.”

I wanted to work out and gain muscle, so I went to the gym, but I was scared off by the lesson fees. I’ll just do some bodyweight exercises myself first. I’ll wait until I can do more than 20 push-ups at once.

After all, I can’t even finish one right now!
