Three days later, on the flying ship of Phoenix Feather Sect,
Ashen was given his own personal room on the ship in contrast to the other disciples who could just find some corner to sit in.
Even Yujin had a small chamber of his own.
On this flying ship, The ones who were in charge were Feng Xue, The second elder, and Peak Master Xia.
Ashen didn't know why but she was also joining this journey to the Crimson Sky Sect.
Mo Fan and that muscle head Vi Ling were also going to participate in the tournament.
And for Mo Fan, Ashen brought Ling Yun along with him and she stayed with him in the chambers.
There were also Bi Shiyue and Bi Veli. Both of them participated in the tournament so they boarding the ship was obvious.
As for Ling Yun, Ashen asked his master for permission and after some reluctance, she agreed, though he threatened that he would not go without Ling Yun.
Feng Xue was already quite surprised to see Ashen had advanced to the Nascent Soul realm, but Yujin also surprised her. He was already at peak nascent soul realm, just one step away from opening his dantian and advancing to the origin realm.
Both of them had terrifying cultivation speeds. Also, it was fortunate that Yujin didn't advance to the Origin realm since only nascent soul and body transformation realm cultivators were allowed in the tournament so if he had advanced he wouldn't be able to participate in the tournament.
"Master, Can I go and see Brother Mo Fan?" Ling Yun whispered into Ashen's ears, Shiyue and Veli eyeing her with confusion.
"What is she whispering to him?" Veli thought to herself.
Ashen shook his head as he explained the reason: "No, you can't go and meet him right now in front of all these people. Mo Chen is also on this ship, what if he sees you? It would create problems for me!"
Ling Yun nodded in understanding as she sat quietly afterward. The ship was fast and it didn't take long for them to enter Crimson Sky Sect's territory.
The ship landed on the outskirts and wasn't allowed inside.
Chen Lu approached them with a smiles on his face. Feng Xue and the other elders flew down the ship to meet him.
Chen Lu bowed respectfully, greeting them: "Welcome Sect leader Feng Xue and respected Elders. Welcome to the Crimson Sky Sect!
As you are already aware, the flying ship cannot go inside so please allow me to guide you all to your residential area. You can stay there comfortably till the end of the tournament."
However, before he could finish, Ashen made himself clear: "If they don't go with me, then I reject that residence. I'll just live with the other disciples."
Saying that Ashen acted to step on the board before being stopped by Chen Lu in a hurry: "Alright Alright, they can accompany you!"
Chen Lu admitted his defeat and Ashen bowed, expressing his gratitude: "Thank You, elder Chen Lu!"
Meanwhile, The Second Elder and peak master Xia looked at this scene with incredulous expression: "W-What's going on here?" They questioned in their minds.
Wasn't Ashen getting more attention and respect than even the sect leader?
Just what was going on here?
Chen Lu clapped as four boards, larger than the previous ones came flying from a different direction.
Ashen and the three beauties stepped on each board as they were carried in the same direction.
Ashen could see from the air, that Chen Lu and the sect Seniors leaving in different directions. Their residence must be in that direction.
After some moments, The rectangular boards stopped just some centimeters above the ground as Ashen and the three beauties stepped down, finding a huge mansion in front of them.
Ashen looked around only to find multiple paths, but no house.
Only this big mansion was there. Ashen got close to the door as the door opened itself or that it seemed.
Two disciples wearing Crimson Sky Sect's uniform came out, bowing as they greeted: "Welcome young master Ashen, this is your residence and we are the helpers assigned to you"
"What? This mansion is assigned to Brother Ashen alone?" Veli asked with wide eyes in disbelief.
Though it was Veli who voiced out her shock, the same question was in Shiyue and Ling Yun's minds. Their shocked expressions said it all.
Ashen just nodded, making his way inside calmly.
The three beauties just followed him in.
