Chapter 730
by“What is the young lady thinking about again？” A maid standing beside the holy maiden couldn’t help but ask when she saw her remain motionless for one or two hours.
“Nothing.” The holy maiden slowly shook her head, with a touch of faint sorrow in her brows.
“Is the young lady thinking about whether she can successfully find the holy master this time？” Belle pursed her lips and smiled.
“I don’t want to find any holy master at all！” The holy maiden gently sighed.
“But this is the young lady’s responsibility.” Belle’s complexion also dimmed a lot.
“I know, and I’m not looking for him, but he didn’t show up. What can I do?”
“Preferably, he will never show up in a lifetime, so that the young lady won’t have to worry.”
“Shh！” The holy maiden quickly put a jade finger to her lips, quietly looked outside, and said in a low voice, “Just tell me this, but don’t say it outside. It’s not good if Uncle Qian and the others hear it.”
“I know.” Belle stuck out her fragrant tongue. “But the young lady doesn’t have to worry too much. There are four holy maidens in our Nine Heavens Holy Land. Besides you, the other three are also looking. Maybe they can find him.”
“It’s not good if anyone finds him.” The holy maiden slightly sighed, stood up, and said, “I’m tired of sitting. Let’s go out and walk.”
“Yeah.” Belle quickly nodded.
After coming out of the cabin and looking around on the deck for a while, the holy maiden’s mood improved a lot. Suddenly thinking of Yang Kai, she hurriedly asked a disciple on the ship.
Knowing that Yang Kai had been staying at the bottom of the cabin and hadn’t come out during this period of time, the Holy Maiden couldn’t help but frown.
Due to the special nature of her birth, she could basically spy on the true thoughts of others. When she saw Yang Kai before although she understood that the other party had no hostility or malice, she always felt that this person was a bit strange. It seemed that there was a mysterious color over him making the Holy Maiden, who was always good at observing, somewhat unable to peek into his background.
Knowing that he was content with the status quo, the Holy Maiden had no intention of looking for him to talk. After resting for a while, she returned to the cabin again.
As the days passed by, the big ship had been sailing on the sea for about a month. Yang Kai, who was meditating at the bottom of the cabin, suddenly smelled a familiarsmell.
That was the smell of soil.
He quickly looked out of the window and saw that on the distant horizon, there were some irregularly arranged islands.
His spirit was shaken, and Yang Kai stood up.
During this period of time, he had been staying in the cabin, which had really suffocated him. Now that he saw the land, he could finally get out of this small space, and his mood suddenly became pleasant.
Half a day later, the big ship docked beside an island. There was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Before long, the big man named Cheng Fei pushed the door open and shouted: “Kid, we’ve arrived at the place. Come out!”
Yang Kai nodded slightly and followed him out.
On the deck. The disciples of the Jiutian Holy Land were disembarking in an orderly manner. By the island, there were also some martial artists who seemed to be local tycoons, greeting them respectfully. One by one, they all had charming expressions and continuous smiles.
Yang Kai saw the saintess of the Jiutian Holy Land on the deck. After thinking for a while, he stepped towards her.
As soon as he moved, it immediately attracted the attention of many martial artists. That Uncle Qian even had his true essence surging, looking at Yang Kai with an unfriendly gaze.
It seemed that once Yang Kai made any bad move, he would immediately face a ruthless killing.
Yang Kai just pretended not to notice and walked leisurely to not far from the saintess. He cupped his fists and said, “Thank you, miss, for this rescue. I will remember it in my heart. I wish the miss eternal youth and good health and a long life！”
The saintess’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and she suddenly pursed her lips and smiled. What Yang Kai said was very different from others, which made her a little surprised. She nodded slightly and said, “You’re welcome. Be more careful in the future and don’t end up at sea again.”
Thank you for the miss’s concern. Farewell！”
Saying this, Yang Kai jumped off the big ship and left quickly.
“Smooth-talking！” Uncle Qian didn’t seem to like Yang Kai very much and couldn’t help but snorted coldly.
I actually think he is very sincere.” The saintess looked at the back of Yang Kai who disappeared and pursed her lips and smiled.
Under the ship, many martial artists, regardless of age, were attracted by this smile and stared blankly, stunned for a while. It was not until Uncle Qian snorted heavily that everyone came back to their senses and couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed.
Yang Kai got off the big ship and strolled on this island.
There are also many martial artists on the island, coming and going. However, the spiritual energy on this island is a bit thin, not as rich and pleasant as those islands occupied by the Water Temple.
Moreover, there don’t seem to be many powerful people on this island. Among those local strongmen who came to welcome the Jiutian Holy Land just now, the most powerful one is only a Superb Two-layer Realm, and he is also a white-haired old man who is on the verge of death.
It seems that the nearby islands are not so good either. They should be places where some small forces are entrenched. They can’t be compared with the Water Temple at all.
Judging from the bustling scene here, at the Water Temple, outsiders are not allowed to enter. But here, there seem to be many outsiders.
After wandering and observing on the island for a while, Yang Kai strolled into an inn, chose a seat by the window, and ordered the waiter to bring some food and drink.
The waiter responded and brought many exquisite food in a short while. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Yang Kai.
Guest officer, what else can I do for you？” The waiter asked with a smile on his face.”
Yang Kai said nothing and took out two spirit stones and placed them on the table.
The waiter’s eyes lit up and he immediately became obsequious, stammering, “Sir, these food and drinks don’t cost two spirit stones.”
“I want to ask you some things. If your answers satisfy me, the extra will be yours！”
“Sir, if you have anything to ask, just ask. I will definitely tell you everything I know！”
Yang Kai nodded in satisfaction and pondered for a moment before saying, “What place is this？”
The waiter looked at Yang Kai in surprise and smiled, “Sir, you don’t know what place this is？ Then how did you get here…”
Before he could finish, seeing Yang Kai’s strange gaze, he quickly stopped and explained, “This is Sea Green Island…”
“Then what are the influential forces here？”
“Here, there is the Cheng family, the Wang family, the Hai family…” The waiter listed them one by one as if he were enumerating his treasures.
After listening to his account, Yang Kai finally understood that these nearby islands belonged to a force called the Seven Families Alliance.
There were approximately twenty or thirty islands nearby, and a total of seven aristocratic families were entrenched here. The strength of these aristocratic families was comparable, and none of them were too powerful. The strongest in each family, as Yang Kai had seen before, was only at the Second-Order Transcendent Realm, and the number of Transcendent Realm experts was not very large either. Each family almost had only four or five people.”
Asking about the distance to the Water God Hall, the waiter’s answer left Yang Kai dumbfounded.
It seems that I followed the big ship of the Ninth Heaven Holy Land in the opposite direction and am already tens of thousands of miles away from the Water God Temple.
Knowing this, Yang Kai could only helplessly shake his head. It seems that there is no way for him to return to the Water God Temple to thank Shui Ling in person and can only wait for a chance to meet in the future.
And the nearest continent to these islands also requires taking a fast ship for about a month to arrive！
“Is there a Pill Masters Association here？” Yang Kai asked with a frown.
The waiter shook his head.
What a remote place！ Yang Kai thought to himself. Without a branch of the Pill Masters Association here, it is obvious that this place is really desolate.
“Little brother is a Pill Refiner?” The waiter was a shrewd person and keenly perceived something from Yang Kai’s question.
“So what？” Yang Kai glanced at him.
“The Seven Families Alliance is vigorously recruiting Pill Refiners. The treatment is first-class. If little brother wants to earn some money, he might as well apply and give it a try.”
Yang Kai pouted quietly and was obviously not interested in this.
He didn’t care about the treatment. He just wanted to improve his Pill Refining Technique now. However, looking at the power of the Seven Families Alliance, there were obviously no good medicinal materials for him to refine.
“By the way, what are the guests next to me talking about？ Why do I see that they are all dressed brightly and look suave and debonair？” Yang Kai asked another question.
Ever since he came to this island, he has noticed this problem. Basically, as long as it is a young person, they are all dressed up decently. Not only are they particular about their clothes, but they also speak in a flowery and refined way, and act in a gentle and refined manner. It seems that every one of them has extremely good upbringing.
It’s not just young people, even some middle-aged people are like this. They are constantly paying attention to their manners, as if there is an invisible pair of eyes observing their performance.
This makes Yang Kai very puzzled. He doesn’t understand whether this is the custom here or there are other reasons.
“Don’t you know, little brother？” Hearing Yang Kai’s question, the waiter suddenly showed a cheap smile, and his expression also became ambiguous.
“Should I know？” Yang Kai glanced at him and unceremoniously took out two more spirit stones and put them on the table, saving this little brother waiter from continuing to talk nonsense with himself.
The waiter was quick-eyed and quickly grabbed the spirit stones, thanked him repeatedly, and indeed no more chatty. He looked around and whispered in Yang Kai’s ear, “The holy maiden of the Nine Heavens Holy Land has come today, and they are all deliberately showing off themselves.”
Yang Kai frowned: “What does the holy maiden’s coming have to do with them?”
“Of course it has something to do with them!” Seeing that Yang Kai really didn’t seem to know the inside story, the shop assistant couldn’t help but be a little surprised and carefully explained: The Holy Maiden’s tour is to find the next Holy Lord for the Nine Heavens Holy Land! If one can be favored by the Holy Maiden, it’s like a carp leaping over the dragon’s gate and turning into a phoenix on the branch!
“With them？” Yang Kai swept his eyes around, looking at those ugly people posturing and striking poses, feeling nauseous for a while, and said with a contemptuous smile： “Unless the Holy Maiden is blind, she will fancy this group of goods.”
“Shh…” The waiter’s face changed, and he was vigilant around, whispering: “Guest officer, you can’t say such things, or you will arouse public anger. Besides, we don’t know what kind of person the Holy Maiden will choose. Every time the Holy Maiden of the Nine Heavens Holy Land goes on a tour, such a storm will be caused. Half a year ago, the Nine Heavens Holy Land spread the news of the Holy Maiden’s tour, and the world was shaken. Countless young talents were secretly preparing. Isn’t it that our Sea Green Island has been lively since half a month ago? Everyone is waiting for the Holy Maiden to come. In the past, where was it so lively here?”
