Jiang Huai Lake was one of the most famous scenic spots in the Xuan Wu continent. Every year, countless people would come here to enjoy the scenery.
This place was also very special and had the ability to forbid space. In other words, flying was impossible.
Though it was useless against powerhouses of the sixth level and above, 99 percent of the people who came here to play were of the sixth level and below.
Therefore, a very popular profession was born, the boatman, which was also known as the boatman.
Today, there was one more boat driver by Jiang Huai Lake.
It was Ling Xian.
After leaving Heaven Abyss, he went on a tour, learned about nature, and learned about Dao. At the same time, he tried out many occupations in order to learn more about Dao from the world.
Now, he decided to become a boat driver by Jiang Huai Lake. For one, he wanted to learn more about Dao. For two, this place was very close to the Chu Yun Mountain.
Back then, to stop Taba Liu Feng from bothering him, Ling Xian agreed to fight against this person. He originally thought he could leave the Xuan Wu continent and didn't need to fulfill his promise.
But the result was that he couldn't pass Heaven Abyss. Therefore, he had to fulfill his promise.
Because of the curse, his heart was in a mess. This meant if he fights, there will be flaws. Though it wasn't certain that he would lose, with his current condition, he would most likely lose to Taba Liu Feng.
After all, he was a candidate for the God Emperor!
Therefore, Ling Xian wanted to use this time to regain his normal calmness.
His arrival didn't attract much attention. For one, there were too many boat drivers. For two, his boat was far too unsightly.
Compared to those luxurious boats, his boat couldn't even be called a boat. It was more like a tiny boat.
How could anyone sit on a broken boat like this?
Everyone laughed and ignored the new boat driver.
Ling Xian ignored the world as well.
He wasn't going to stay here for long. Because in a month, it would be the day of his battle against Taba Liu Feng.
However, as time went on, he created a commotion.
All because his appearance was far too outstanding. Though he was wearing a rain cape and a bamboo hat, it couldn't hide his immortal-like temperament and handsome face.
With such a high-quality appearance, not to mention among the eunuchs, even among all the tourists, he would be outstanding.
Therefore, Ling Xian caused everyone to gasp in shock. Of course, the ones who gasped were all women.
After that, his business boomed and there was an endless stream of people coming to take the boat. There were even people who were willing to pay ten or even a hundred times the price just to travel with him.
Without exception, they were all women.
This made the other eunuchs extremely jealous. The wanderers were also extremely envious. They all wanted to replace him, even if they had to pay for it!
What Ling Xian did made others clench their teeth in hatred.
He only accepted three jobs a day, and his boat could only carry one person at a time. In other words, he would only pick up three people a day. No matter how beautiful the other party was, or how high the price was, he had to follow the rule of first come, first served.
This made the male tourists even more jealous. If it were them, not to mention the high price, even if it was free, they would still carry people all day long!
However, Ling Xian's actions made all the young ladies even more passionate.
What was personality?
This was it!
How could an ordinary man be able to ignore beauty and money?
Therefore, the young ladies became more and more curious about him. Not only did they not throw a tantrum, but they also obediently followed his rules and lined up. There were even quite a few people who had been waiting early in the morning just to be in the top three.
Ling Xian's head hurt at this.
He didn't want to be in the limelight. He simply wanted to face Taba Liufeng with a calm mentality.
After all, Taba Liufeng was a candidate for the Emperor God. Even he cannot be reckless.
However, the rules had been set. Even if he didn't want to carry people, he had to fulfill his promise.
Then, Ling Xian's head hurt even more.
Even though he only picked up three people a day, they were all women. They were all very curious about him. Therefore, they chattered endlessly beside his ear.
Ling Xian was extremely annoyed at this. However, he could only remain silent and hope that these women would become angry and shut up.
Sadly, he miscalculated.
There were indeed women who were angry. But more of them were curious.
This was especially true for those beautiful women with extraordinary family backgrounds.
Normally, they were pursued by everyone. But with Ling Xian, they were rejected. Naturally, their curiosity was piqued.
Therefore, the craze did not diminish. Every day, the line of women continued to be endless. In the end, the other boats could no longer carry female passengers. Instead, they were all men who were crying as they stared at the lake.
This made the men even more jealous. If looks could kill, then Ling Xian would've died thousands and tens of thousands of times.
"Hey, what's your name?"
"Where do you live? Are you married yet? "
"Why aren't you talking? Are you a mute?"
Listening to the chatter beside his ear, Ling Xian felt extremely helpless.
These days, every single woman who boarded the boat asked the same question. It annoyed him to no end. If he didn't have a peaceful nature, he would've slapped them to death.
It was far too annoying. In the end, Ling Xian had no other choice. He decided to use his Qi to seal off his feelings.
But in the end, he didn't do that.
If he used his Qi to seal off his feelings, then he would be able to calm down. But this calmness, was it true calmness?
No. Only when he truly ignores all distractions can he be completely calm.
Therefore, Ling Xian didn't use his Qi to seal off his feelings. Instead, he switched from carrying three people a day to carrying 10.
Now, all the ladies were ecstatic. They were getting more and more curious about this mysterious man.
Ling Xian was ecstatic as well. Because he realized that this method wasn't bad. If he can truly ignore the chatter of the women, then his mentality will for sure increase to another level.
Slowly, his heart calmed down.
He didn't care about the noise in his ears, nor did he care about the colorful scenery in front of him. He only cared about the Great Dao and only sought peace and quiet.
Just like that, time passed by silently.
After a month, Ling Xian's chaotic heart finally calmed down. Not only was it smooth and flawless, but it also increased to another level.
This meant he had returned to his peak condition. It also meant it was time to leave.
"It's about time. If I leave now, I will arrive at Mount Chu Yun tomorrow." Ling Xian grinned. His eyes flickered with anticipation.
He really wanted to see just how powerful the so-called Emperor's Candidate was.
However, just as he was about to leave, a man leaped across half of Jiang Huai Lake and landed directly on top of the boat.
He was as graceful as a swan and as graceful as a dragon. Just like a real immortal, he was out of this world and out of the ordinary.
This startled Ling Xian. After checking out this person, his eyes flashed with compliments.
This person's eyebrows were straight like swords, and his face was like jade. He gave off the vibe that he was the only sober person in the world. His temperament was like a ten thousand year old iceberg, cold to the bone. Even the lake water was showing signs of freezing.
This unique temperament made even Ling Xian, who was used to seeing Heaven's Favorites, exclaim.
The first sentence this person spoke caused him to frown, feeling quite shocked.
"You are dying."
