The reason for this was that Du Feng was too low-key and had purposely suppressed his aura. There was also the fact that Du Feng could kill enemies at a higher level, which made Uncle Luo very unhappy.
"What do you mean? If he can defeat enemies at the Golden Celestial Stage when he was at the Heaven Celestial Stage, doesn't that mean that he can defeat me, a warrior at the Golden Celestial Stage of the Great All-Embracing Heaven Cultivation Stage?" "If it's to cover up, why did you pay me to do it?"
"He's going back this time. We didn't know before."
Although Ximen Ziling's character was good, she was quick-witted. She knew at a glance that Uncle Luo was unhappy. She quickly explained that Du Feng was going back to the East Heaven Realm to do something and happened to buy a ticket for the Heavenly Prosperity. He was not a bodyguard hired by the sisters.
"Oh, you're a guest, then go to the cabin and stay."
Uncle Luo's words seemed polite, but in fact, he was driving them away. Because passengers should stay in the cabin and not come to the captain's room.
In fact, the captain was not Uncle Luo, but an old employee of the Ximen family. However, he was only responsible for the navigation of the passenger ship, not for safety issues. And Uncle Luo was the main figure of this voyage, even the captain had to give him face.
"Then I'll go back first."
Seeing this situation, Du Feng said goodbye and went back to his cabin. He was rich now, so he could buy a first-class ticket. If he wanted, he could ask Niu Er to help him get a ticket for the Heavenly Palace, but he didn't want to cause trouble for his friend.
In fact, the Ximen sisters could also see that Du Feng and Uncle Luo were not on good terms, or that Uncle Luo and Du Feng were not on good terms. Obviously, they were not convinced by each other.
Originally, Du Feng was just a passenger, so there was no need for him to come to the captain's room to get to know Uncle Luo, and he didn't want to compete with Uncle Luo for his job. However, because he was familiar with the Ximen sisters, he got involved in such a matter. Now that he returned to his cabin, it could be regarded as less trouble for himself.
After entering the cabin, Du Feng set up a simple array. The main function was to warn others not to harass him. Then, he began to meditate and cultivate. After all, crossing the Heavenly River would take a long time. If he didn't cultivate during this period of time, it would be quite boring.
The heroic female martial artist seemed to have something to say to Du Feng. When he reached the door, he thought for a moment, sighed, and left.
Ximen Baiyi seemed to have something to discuss with Du Feng. She walked to the door and raised her hand, intending to knock. Instead, she listened to the silence in the room and knew that Du Feng was really resting. Feeling too embarrassed to disturb him, he lowered his head and walked away.
After the two of them left, Ximen Ziling strolled over. She looked at the silhouette of her younger sister, Whitey Ximen, and a crafty light flashed in her eyes.
"Is Mr. Du here? I need to talk to you."
In fact, Ximen Ziling knew that Du Feng closed the door because he did not want to be disturbed. However, she was still thick-skinned enough to call for Du Feng outside. Du Feng couldn't pretend that he didn't hear what she said. He had no choice but to stop his cultivation and help her open the door.
"What's the matter?"
Du Feng stood at the door and asked Ximen Ziling.
"Can we talk inside?"
Ximen Ziling gave Du Feng a look, indicating that this matter was very important and could not be heard by outsiders. After saying that, she squeezed in. Du Feng was too embarrassed to pull her into the room. Because it was an important matter, Du Feng closed the door.
In fact, the scene just now was seen by Whitey. From the moment her sister entered the room to the moment Du Feng closed the door, everything fell into her eyes. For some reason, she felt sour in her heart.
"What's the matter? Say it."
Du Feng didn't want to be alone with this woman for too long. He always felt that she was too scheming.
"This matter concerns the fate of us sisters, we hope that Young Master Du can help us."
In the end, Ximen Ziling, who had been flirting just now, suddenly became serious and came up to Du Feng and bowed. Her bowing made Du Feng feel embarrassed, and he hurried forward to support her.
Then, Ximen Ziling explained the great significance of this voyage. The reason why the Ximen family wanted to upgrade the passenger ship and spend money to hire a Golden Immortal expert to escort them was because there was a treasure that had to be transported from the Southern Heaven Realm to the Eastern Heaven Realm.
This treasure was also very interesting to Du Feng. It was the Apocalyptic Cannon on the Heavenly Palace. This Apocalyptic Cannon was not an ordinary first-stage cannon, but the powerful Second Sister Cannon, the kind that could even blast a level-18 demon beast into pieces.
However, in order to keep a low profile, the Apocalyptic Cannon was not installed on the hull, but hidden in the cargo compartment under the deck. This was also the reason why there were very few third-class tickets sold this time. Because most of the seats were occupied by the cargo compartment.
The Apocalyptic Cannon was a specialty of the Southern Heaven Realm. Not only was it expensive, but it was also a controlled weapon that could not be traded privately. Only after approval could the ship be installed with one or two more to defend against water monsters. It was obviously against the rules for the Ximen family to secretly transport a batch of second-stage Apocalyptic Cannon back.
However, since they could buy the Apocalyptic Cannon, it meant that they had reached a consensus with some of the higher-ups of the Southern Heaven Realm. However, this matter could not be carried out in the open. It had to be done secretly. It was fine as long as they were not caught, but once they were, it would not be a joke.
"Woo woo woo …"
While the two were chatting, the Heavenly Prosperity passenger ship set sail. As long as they left the river bank, they should not be found.
Ximen Ziling was nervous and grabbed Du Feng's hand with all her might. Du Feng had inexplicably become an accomplice. Frankly speaking, he was also a little nervous. The two held their breath and stared, their hearts thumping. After the whistle ended, only the sound of the waves and their heartbeats could be heard in the surroundings.
When the Heavenly Prosperity left the river bank and picked up speed, they breathed a sigh of relief. Since the ship had already set sail, it would not be easy to be caught. If they wanted to check, they would have done so when they were on the shore.
"Phew …"
Ximen Ziling took a deep breath, and her eyes were a little red from excitement. She really did not have much confidence in herself, so she came to Du Feng for protection. Because Uncle Luo was an elder and not familiar with her, he was an expert found by her uncle.
According to Ximen Ziling, smuggling the Apocalyptic Cannon back from the Southern Heaven Realm was not for money, but for the safety of the Eastern Heaven Realm. Although the Eastern Immortal City was fine, the Demon Repelling City in the north of the Eastern Heaven Realm was currently under siege by monsters.
