Did he really catch a cold?
The weather on the sea was unpredictable. However, the ship had special materials that could maintain a constant temperature. With the addition of the germicidal flowers and plants, it was not easy to get sick.
"The cultivators have all left." Ye Cheng's voice came from the outside.
Although he could not understand the formulas and elemental tables on Ling Tian's desk, he was well aware that "Frankly speaking, strange people" had special abilities, which was enough to intimidate this world that respected martial arts.
"All of you, leave first." Ling Tian had something he wanted to talk to Ye Cheng about.
A few young boys and girls retreated, leaving only Ye Cheng in this modern room.
"I heard that there are many pirates in the east, and there aren't many interesting islands to visit. It would be better to turn back and travel to the South Sea." Ling Tian Qing seemed to think of Ye Cheng as the leader of the stewards on the ship, discussing everything with him first.
Of course, even though it was a discussion, it was very difficult to change Ling Qing's mind.
"The South Sea?" Ye Cheng frowned and immediately said, "Although the South Sea is rich in resources, it is not so peaceful and is close to the Da Cheng Country …"
"Why are you so afraid when it comes to Dacheng?" Ling Tianqing laughed out loud, interrupting Ye Cheng's question.
She wasn't even afraid, so what was he worried about?
"I'm not afraid." Ye Cheng was silent for a moment before he spoke in a low voice.
"Then why are you so nervous as long as you get a little closer to Da Sheng?" Ling Tian Qing stood up with a smile and walked to Ye Cheng. He raised his head and looked at him, as if he was trying to read a flower from Ye Cheng's indifferent face.
"I'm not nervous." Ye Cheng continued to deny it.
"Ye Cheng, if I implant a chip into your body, will you refuse?" Ling Tianqing suddenly asked.
"What is deceit?" Ye Cheng was used to her one strike of a hammer to the east and one strike of a rod to the west.
"You can connect to your central nervous system, control your thoughts and actions, and enter the code I want..." Ling Tian Qing stopped and felt that it was boring to explain the high-tech stuff to him.
She had been missing her days on Earth more and more recently.
Every day, the geniuses of the research institute would invent all sorts of high-tech gadgets.
Laser, four-dimensional space, stealth warship, space-time controller, all kinds of robots...
Unfortunately, her research had failed, and the price was that she was unable to return to this strange world.
"Why are you … Suddenly trying to control me? " Ye Cheng was silent for a long time before he asked.
"Because it's easier to communicate like this." Ling Tian let out a sigh. She only wanted a robot that she could rely on.
She didn't want to interfere with other people's world, much less control anything.
"You feel... Am I not loyal enough? " Ye Cheng was silent for a moment before he asked.
He was a person who didn't like to talk or express himself. He always used actions to prove himself.
But he did not expect that even so, Ling Tian Qing was not satisfied with him.
Ye Cheng could not see through this woman.
"Ye Cheng, did you hide something from me?" Ling Tianqing had initially just been speaking casually, but Ye Cheng's reaction made her feel that something was amiss.
Ye Cheng usually wouldn't suddenly say the word "loyal".
"Nope." Ye Cheng denied it very straightforwardly.
"Then let's prepare to go to the South Sea." Ling Tian Qing did not ask any further.
"In my opinion, the South Sea is even more dangerous. The islands in the South Sea and the coastal areas of Daxing City are at odds. At any time, a war might break out, so it's not appropriate to go there." Ye Cheng stubbornly said.
"That's just a battle for the next generation on the coast. What does it have to do with me?" Ling Tian Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, "If I don't want to go ashore, then so be it. There's no need for you to be nervous."
Ye Cheng had always killed people without blinking an eye, he had never been afraid of anything happening. His intense reaction made Ling Tianqing even more suspicious.
"War is not something a sea bandit can compare with. You often say that it is best to guard against danger before it is ignited …" Ye Cheng still wanted to persuade him.
"Oh, that's right." Ling Tian nodded in agreement, "Indeed. If I stay here for too long, it will bring trouble to Duanmu Xiu. That's why I promised him to leave as soon as possible …"
"Young Master!" Ye Cheng raised his voice, "South Sea, I won't let you go."
"This is my boat."
Facing Ye Cheng's rarely seen toughness, Ling Tian Qing did not feel annoyed at all. Instead, he smiled and reminded him.
Indeed, something was wrong with Ye Cheng.
After she finished speaking, she pressed the communicator connected to the captain's quarters. "We're leaving for the South China Sea."
The captain was busy learning modern things with a group of young crew members.
Every day, Ling Qing would bring over some new things, such as a simple sensor, an upgraded version of the compass, and some of the modern items required for a navigator.
The captain was shocked by the voice on the communicator. Even now, he could not adapt to such a high-level "Voice Transmission Technique".
"Continue east." Ye Cheng grabbed the communicator and said.
"Ye Cheng, it seems that I've always been too kind to you." Ling Qing did not fight over it. Her gaze towards Ye Cheng turned cold as she spoke.
Ye Cheng gripped his communicator tightly and fell silent.
He had the feeling of 'usurping power'.
This ship belonged to Ling Tian Qing, so he had no right to speak.
Ling Tian Qing was good to him in normal times, but he was not someone to be trifled with.
Ye Cheng had never believed in emotions.
If others could pamper her, she could humiliate them.
Ling Tianqing must have understood this much better than he did.
After all, she was a woman who had been favored by the king.
Seeing Ye Cheng biting his lips and not saying anything, Ling Qing wanted to leave.
Ye Cheng did not say anything, but just stretched out his hand to stop Ling Tianqing.
"You want to put me under house arrest?" Ling Tianqing smirked coldly as she pushed Ye Cheng's hand away and walked out.
Ye Cheng couldn't keep her under house arrest.
This is not shore.
On Ling Qing's ship, he did not have the ability to keep her under house arrest.
"At least... "Tonight, there will be rain. After the rain has stopped, it will not be too late to leave tomorrow."
As Ling Qing walked to the door, Ye Cheng's tone softened.
Duanmu Xiu had boarded the boat the night before yesterday to ask Ling Tian Qing for guidance. He had only left today, but two days had passed … Too short.
Ye Cheng couldn't let the ship sail south at this time, otherwise he would have to waste more time. The sea was vast and it was extremely difficult to locate his position. Who knew where this ship would sail to?
"My ship, no matter how heavy the storm, is nothing to fear." Ling Tianqing was obviously angry at Ye Cheng, she replied without turning her head.
Ye Cheng sighed as he heard her footsteps disappear.
"You've angered the young master?" Xiao Yun walked in and whispered.
It was rare to see a smiling young master with such a cold expression. It seemed that Ye Cheng was quite capable.
"Go to the captain's quarters and let the ship continue east." Ye Cheng didn't bother to explain as he replied.
Xiao Yun was his life and death brother. Although Ye Cheng never talked about feelings, he had covered up Xiao Yun countless times and also saved his life. Naturally, Xiao Yun would listen to anything he said.
But today, Xiao Yun hesitated.
"You want to go against the young master?"
Ever since Xiao Yun found out that Ling Qing was a woman, he could not call her "Young Master". Just like everyone else on the boat, he called her Young Master.
"You're not going?" Ye Cheng knew that Ling Tian had brainwashed these people.
"I heard that there are rare treasures in the South Sea. Do you know that the young master's heart is heavy with curiosity? Why did you stop her?" Of course, Xiao Yun didn't want to disobey Ling Tian Qing, but he also didn't want to betray Ye Cheng.
"What treasure does this ship not have?" "The South Sea has many water monsters, even if she's a phoenix …" Ye Cheng's expression turned even colder as he almost revealed her identity.
Xiao Yun covered his mouth and quickly cut in: "Our ship is impregnable. We aren't afraid of any water monsters. You care too much about Young Master."
Hearing this, Ye Cheng's expression changed slightly.
"Aren't you …" Xiao Yun had worked with him for seven or eight years. Seeing his expression, he suddenly felt that something wasn't right.
"No." Ye Cheng obviously knew what Xiao Yun was thinking and immediately denied it.
He really wasn't.
Just to make the people around him misunderstand his thoughts, Ye Cheng felt that … There was a trace of guilt.
Guilt towards Ling Qing.
To be fair, she was not unkind to him, but he …
"It's best if you don't. There is a difference between us and Young Master. She is the star in the sky, what are you?" Xiao Yun said in a low voice, "If you miss her, then the sky will collapse."
Ye Cheng listened expressionlessly.
"Even if the sky falls, there's still one more person you can afford to offend?" Xiao Yun was afraid that he was still randomly thinking, so he continued.
A sliver of emotion appeared in Ye Cheng's eyes. He was thinking... It was that person.
"Hey, where are you going?" Seeing Ye Cheng leave without saying a word, Xiao Yun hastily followed.
"The captain's quarters." Ye Cheng went himself.
This ship must not be allowed to leave the East China Sea.
From the imperial city to the East Sea, the Heavenly Dragon Horse traveled ten thousand miles a day for two days.
In the era of the backward civilization, successive rulers kept their distance from the sea.
Firstly, there were many natural disasters along the coast. The sea bandits were rampant and it was hard for them to survive. Secondly, the treasures of the sea had yet to be discovered by the people of this era.
This is also why Lingxiang let the tiny East China Sea countries exist in the world.
For him, many Duanmu Xiu helped him manage the East China Sea to prevent the sea pirates from bothering him. As long as the East Sea paid tribute annually to him and interacted with the mainland, he wouldn't have to worry too much about it.
Currently, the border towns of the Eastsea Kingdom and Dacheng Country, the Pingping City, were strictly regulated. However, as long as one possessed a permit, they could easily travel between the two countries, providing the most convenience to merchants.
However, the city of Pingping hadn't been as noisy lately.
Because it had rained for three days consecutively, the water in the city was quite deep. The merchants hid in their houses to wait for the weather to clear up.
There were a lot of soldiers in the city, and they were all out of water. If they were to send out so many soldiers on a sunny day, it would only cause panic and speculation.
There were a lot of soldiers in the city, and they were all out of water. If they were to send out so many soldiers on a sunny day, it would only cause panic and speculation.
The East China Sea has also suffered the longest spring rains of the year. Coastal farms have been badly damaged and the new king is suffering.
Duanmu Xiu could only plead for mercy. He was vexed — the Great Mage was right. He should not have had any ideas about the phoenix body.
I shouldn't have had anything to do with the phoenix …
However … Listening to her words, he felt that it was better than reading a book for ten years. Phoenix Body had a unique vision, and its foresight was far ahead of others. It was indeed an extraordinary object to compare.
However, he did not know that the current one … Had the magic ship left the East Sea?
It was indeed a miraculous ship. From the mouths of the fishermen, one could hear scattered legends.
