Fang Yun finally understood why Registrar Zhou was envious of him. He never thought that Jade Sea City would be willing to use the 'Flying Page Void Boat' personally written by a great scholar as an escort. Unless there was an emergency, even Hanlin would not receive such treatment.
Yu Xingshu held the saint page and said, "Please send us on our way." The saint page then absorbed the talent qi in Yu Xingshu's body. After it was full, the saint page quickly expanded and turned into a golden page that floated a foot above the ground.
"Come on up." Yu Xingshu was the first to step on the flying page void boat. When he stepped on it, the flying page void boat did not shake at all, as if it was made of steel.
Nuu had already woken up. It opened its eyes wide and jumped out of Fang Yun's embrace. It then jumped onto the flying page void boat and mischievously jumped around, rolling a few times before waving its little paws at Fang Yun as if it was saying, 'Come and try it, it's so magical!'
Everyone laughed. Fang Yun walked over and tried to step on it. He found that it was no different from stepping on the ground. The golden page did not shake at all.
"Sister Yang Yuhuan, come on up." Fang Yun reached out his hand to Yang Yuhuan.
Yang Yuhuan reached out her right hand and placed it on Fang Yun's hand. Her face turned slightly red as she gently lifted her skirt with her left hand and was pulled onto the flying page void boat by Fang Yun.
Fang Daniu and Grandma Jiang also carefully walked up. The two of them felt their legs go soft as they sat on it, not daring to get up again.
The soldiers placed several bags on it and the other three officials also walked up. There were a total of eight people and four bags. It was a bit crowded.
"We won't fall, right?" Fang Daniu asked worriedly.
"Relax." An official smiled.
"Farewell, everyone!"
"Have a safe journey!"
The flying page void boat slowly rose up and gradually changed color. Finally, it became the same color as the sky, making it hard for the people below to see it.
The flying page void boat slowly accelerated and all the wind was blocked by an invisible force. No one felt uncomfortable and their breathing was smooth.
The little fox curiously stretched its claws out of the flying page, but it was blocked by an invisible wall at the edge of the page. In the end, it could only touch the page and play around happily.
Yang Yuhuan was so scared that her legs went soft. With Fang Yun supporting her, she naturally leaned against Fang Yun's chest and tightly hugged Fang Yun's waist. She shyly and sweetly smiled. Only now did she realize that Fang Yun was her only support.
Fang Yun looked outside the airship. The sky was a deep blue color, and the Great Origin Mansion below was getting smaller and smaller. The night passersby were moving slowly like ants. A panoramic view of the mountain peaks and rivers in the distance could be seen, and a heroic feeling of looking at the world involuntarily arose in his heart.
Looking at the surrounding scenery, Fang Yun asked, "General Yu, when will this airship reach Jade Sea City?"
"The distance between the Great Origin Prefecture City and Jade Sea City is about eight hundred li. If the Flyleaf Airship is only carrying one person, it will arrive in fifteen minutes. Now that there are many people, it will be slower."
"It will arrive in fifteen minutes? That's too fast, it's even faster than Jian Mei Duke's Meteoric Rise. "
"Naturally, this airship was made by the Great Confucian."
Fang Yun calculated in his heart, "The speed of sound is one thousand four hundred kilometers per hour, which is two thousand eight hundred li. This airship can fly three thousand two hundred li per hour, isn't this a supersonic plane?"
Grandma Jiang softly muttered while massaging her legs, "It's too scary, I've never sat on such a thing in my life. I'm so scared that my legs are soft."
Although Fang Daniu was scared, he excitedly said, "When we return to Ji County, let's see who dares to look down on me! I'm someone who has sat on this airship before! "
Yang Yuhuan had completely forgotten where she was. She closed her eyes and pressed her face against Fang Yun's chest. She didn't think of anything, she just wanted to be with her beloved forever.
But Nuu was not afraid of anything and continued to play around.
Not long later, Fang Yun saw a glimmering ocean far in front of him. It was like a line of blue jade, and soon, it expanded from a line to a flat surface.
At the seaside, there was a huge city lying there, like a prehistoric beast. The city's main city was square, and there was a sub-city in the east, south, west, and north.
This Jade Sea City was not only the commercial center of Jiang District, but also the most developed city north of the Yangtze River. Even Wu Guo, which was in the west, was ten times stronger than Jingguo, no other city could compare to Jade Sea City.
This was because this was the only place where Jingguo and the Dragons traded, and there were only three such cities in the ten nations.
The three sub-cities were military fortresses, where a large number of soldiers lived, while the north sub-city was a commercial fortress. It was the most prosperous place in the entire Jiang District or north of the Yangtze River, and merchants were everywhere.
Looking from the sky, be it the main city or the three sub-cities, other than the watchtowers and other military facilities on the city walls, the other places were mostly dark. Only the north sub-city was brightly lit, it was simply a city that never slept.
Yu Xingshu said, "You can go anywhere else, but you can't go to North Vice City."
"I know," Fang Yundao said.
After all, the north sub-city was an important trading town, and it was impossible to check too strictly. However, the main city and the other three sub-cities were always on guard, and everyone would be checked clearly. Not to mention colluding with the enemy or demons, as long as there were any suspicious points, they would be denied entry. The people of Jade Sea City were all proud of their clean identities.
Yu Xingshu said softly, "You are talented and should have been given tighter protection, or even sent to the Notre-Dame. However, Grand Secretary Li decided not to send you to the Notre-Dame because of two considerations. "
"Lord, please enlighten me," Fang Yundao said.
"Firstly, the internal strife within the Notre-Dame is much more tragic than that of the Ten Nations. Although the Holy Families have the same philosophy of revitalizing the human race, the Hundred Schools of Thought still have to compete in terms of ideology, the Holy Pages, and other aspects. Once you enter the Notre-Dame, you will definitely fall into that vortex. Before you become a Jinshi, it's not suitable for you to go. "
"I've heard a little about this." Fang Yundao had long guessed that the ongoing strife between the Hundred Schools of Thought was actually the survival of the fittest. It was the internal driving force for the human race to improve. Most people would abide by the rules, but there would also be some who would break the bottom line.
"As for the second, Grand Secretary Li discovered that some of the young geniuses sent to the Notre-Dame would be arrogant and complacent, and some would be suppressed by other geniuses. Nearly 20% of them would find it difficult to achieve anything in the future. If you were three years older, I wouldn't be afraid of you going to the Notre-Dame, but you're too young now. You need to train for two years before it's suitable for you to go. "
"Thank you, Grand Secretary Li, for your thorough consideration." Fang Yundao was interested in the Notre-Dame's Holy Land, but he didn't want to get involved in that overly complicated place. He wanted to spend more time studying the classics of the Saints and condense his talent, lest his talent grew too quickly and went out of control.
Yu Xingshu said, "It's good that you don't blame Sir. If you can calm down, you might be able to go to the Notre-Dame and compete with the geniuses of the human race in less than two years. After all, the Notre-Dame is where the essence of the human race resides, and it's also under the protection of Kong Sheng's talent. It's said that it's the place where the stars of literature shine the brightest. Studying there will be great benefits. You'll go to the Notre-Dame in the end, and no one can stop you! "
Everyone present nodded. Not only Grandma Jiang and Fang Daniu, but even Nunu nodded vigorously, as if she understood.
"Thank you, Sir, for your praise," Fang Yundao said.
"Sir Li wouldn't have praised you so much if it were just your poems, but I know that Sir Li must have his reasons for doing so. I hope you can become the second Grand Secretary of the Sword Eyebrows, the second Minister of Literature, and not the second Minister of the Left. "
Fang Yundao immediately said seriously, "I naturally understand what's the big path and what's the small path. I'm benevolent and righteous, and will never learn from the Minister of the Left."
"That's a true scholar!" Yu Xingshu nodded and praised.
Feng Zimo, the head of the Prefectural Literature Institute, said, "The six Saint Pages awarded to you by the Notre-Dame are already on the way. They'll be delivered to the Prefectural Literature Institute in about three days, and I'll order someone to deliver them to you. I've also read the first year's 《Holy Path》. Originally, the 《Epigraph of My Shack》 could only get three Saint Pages, but it's said that Half-saint praised it, so it got an extra page. The 《Tales of the Pillow》 doesn't have much talent, but it has a profound educational meaning, so it got two Saint Pages. The 《Butterfly in Love with the Flower》 is another Saint Page, so you'll have seven Saint Pages in June. I'm so envious. "
Yu Xingshu said, "I've been a Grand Scholar for more than twenty years, and only one of the Prefectural Literature Institute got a Saint Page. The other Saint Pages were all rewards for military achievements, and there are only four of them in total. You, on the other hand, got more Saint Pages in a month than I did in my entire life. "
A High Scholar official said, "If you weren't so young, we'd definitely gang up on you!"
Everyone laughed.
Nunu looked at the High Scholar warily, squinting her eyes, guarding against him trying to blackmail Fang Yun. She even secretly gave Fang Yun a look, warning him to be careful.
As they approached Jade Sea City, the airship slowed down, and Yu Xingshu threw the official seal into the air. The people in the city immediately received the message, and there was no alarm.
"Go to the South Vice City first, and stay in my residence for a night. Tomorrow, I'll send someone to send you to your chosen residence. Your left residence is the residence of a Deputy General, and your right residence is occupied by a Punishment Hall High Scholar, who will protect you. That Punishment Hall High Scholar will follow you in the dark, so if you encounter any problems at home, you should immediately call out his name. "
Fang Yun didn't expect these people to be so considerate of him, and he felt warm in his heart.
Grandma Jiang and Fang Daniu were especially envious, as they both knew that a Crown Prince could only bring two High Scholars with him. Not only did Fang Yun get a Grand Scholar to escort him, he even got a High Scholar to follow him in the dark, which meant that Fang Yun's treatment was close to those ordinary princes.
The airship landed in General Ding Hai's residence, and everyone walked down the Saint Pages and took their bags.
Yu Xingshu lowered his head towards the airship, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the text."
The airship immediately shrunk, and in the end, it burst into flames and disappeared.
Yu Xingshu's wife, two concubines, and two sons were still awake, and they came to the courtyard to welcome him. Only their six-year-old daughter was already asleep.
After everyone exchanged greetings, Yu Xingshu's eldest son handed Fang Yun an invitation card, and said with a smile, "This is the invitation card for the Dragon Boat Cultural Gathering, sent by Duke Jian Mei. That person said, 'Lord Li invites you to attend the Dragon Boat Cultural Gathering.'"
