Fu Mingyuan's expression changed slightly when he heard Xu Wan's words. However, he quickly returned to normal and smiled. "This one is just giving a suggestion. After all, this one has been in Wushang City for a long time and is familiar with everything here. As for the decision, it will naturally be up to Young Master."
"Since Miss has already made her decision, there is no need to keep giving suggestions." Yuan Gang was expressionless. Although he didn't say much, his tone was even less polite than Xu Wan's. He looked directly at Lu Xiaotian and said, "Fellow Daoist, can you board the boat yourself?"
"Many thanks." Lu Xiaotian nodded. He was really uncomfortable in the water. Since there was a boat to board, there was no reason to refuse. Also, from these people, he could roughly tell that he had been transported to Wushang City. He had been in the Blue Devil Sea Region for a long time. Although he hadn't been to all the big and small cities in the Blue Devil Sea Region, he had heard of them. However, he had never heard of Wushang City. He needed to understand the specific situation of this place. As for whether he had to board the boat or not, it didn't matter to him. Even if these two boats didn't pass by, he wouldn't be able to muster much mana to fly on his sword. At least, he could get a bigger piece of spirit wood from the boundary to float on the water. He wouldn't have to stay in the water all the time.
Just as he finished speaking, Lu Xiaotian jumped out of the water and landed next to Yuan Gang. He didn't go to Xiang Lian 'er's side.
Yuan Gang had some self-awareness, so he revealed a smile on his face.
Once Lu Xiaotian boarded the boat, the cold Qi from the lake lessened a lot. However, the cold Qi that had entered his body still made him shiver. He looked a bit haggard.
"Fellow Daoist, you look unfamiliar. Why are you in Wushang Lake at this time? This isn't something an ordinary cultivator would do. " Fu Mingyuan didn't care about Xu Wan and Yuan Gang's hostility at all. Instead, he smiled and said to Lu Xiaotian.
Lu Xiaotian smiled bitterly, secretly blocking Fu Mingyuan's probing. "I was injured by a few enemies and had no place to escape, so I borrowed the cold Qi of the Innocuous Lake to escape. I'm seriously injured, so there's no need to talk about tricks. If I was really powerful, I wouldn't have been injured to this extent."
"This senior's injuries seem to be very serious. If you don't mind, you can follow this little girl to the Hidden Moon Villa to stay for a few days," Xiang Lian 'er said gently.
"Then I'll accept your offer. If there's an opportunity in the future, I'll repay your kindness. Fellow Daoist's status isn't low, so there's no need to call me senior. You can just call me Lu. " Lu Xiaotian said politely. He secretly thought that this new place was different from any place he had stayed before. The Jin Dan cultivators were so polite to this beautiful girl in front of him, and even Fu Mingyuan called her Young Master. Seeing this situation, how could he be arrogant? Moreover, with his current condition, he really needed a place to stay in this unfamiliar place. Lu Xiaotian wasn't too worried about whether this group of people had any ill intentions. If they had any ill intentions, it would be best to take advantage of his injuries to make a move. There was no need to delay until later.
As for this Fu Mingyuan, he didn't seem to be as respectful to the girl as he appeared to be. However, Lu Xiaotian wasn't interested in getting involved in the battle between the two sides. He would wait until his injuries were better before finding an opportunity to leave.
Yuan Gang and Xu Wan escorted Xiang Lian 'er and sailed on Fu Mingyuan's boat for more than half a day. They passed through the vast mist on the water and entered the entrance of a river. On both sides of the river, there were pavilions and towers. In the night, it was brightly lit. On the riverside road, there were many mortals and cultivators of different realms. From Foundation Establishment cultivators to Qi Condensation cultivators, there were many of them. This place was quite similar to Full Moon City in the past, except that there seemed to be more mortals here. Moreover, the interactions between cultivators and mortals were also more normal. Even though there weren't many Jin Dan cultivators, they could occasionally see a few. This was much rarer than the situation in Full Moon City.
The two boats sailed on the river for more than a hundred miles before arriving at a dock. Fu Mingyuan gave some instructions. Together with Xu Wan, Yuan Gang, and the other Jin Dan cultivators, they flew for several hundred miles before stopping at a small mountain range with dozens of pavilions of various sizes.
"Doesn't the Hidden Moon Villa have a mountain protection restriction? Why isn't it activated?" Xu Wan asked with a frown.
"Since half a year ago, when the villa's source of spirit stones was cut off, the mountain protection restriction was temporarily deactivated. The restriction consumes quite a lot of spirit stones a day. Now, relying on the villa's own income, it can barely maintain the villa's daily expenses. If we continue to support the mountain protection restriction, I'm afraid it won't be long before the villa runs out of spirit stones." Fu Mingyuan bitterly smiled.
"If that's the case, let's temporarily leave the mountain protection restriction. Senior, I'll have to trouble Manager Fu to arrange a place to stay." Xiang Lian 'er nodded.
"Young Master, don't worry. I'll definitely arrange a place for Lu Daoyou." Fu Mingyuan nodded. "Young Master must be tired after such a long journey. I've already prepared a place for you to stay. Young Master, please rest early."
Xiang Lian 'er nodded. Together with Xu Wan and Yuan Gang, they followed a middle-aged Foundation Establishment cultivator to their resting place.
"Although the Hidden Moon Villa isn't a tiger's den, there are still some taboos. Lu Daoyou, if there's nothing else, it's best not to leave the place. Otherwise, if you bump into someone you shouldn't, it won't be good." After Xiang Lian 'er left, Fu Mingyuan's originally smiling face immediately sank. He warned Lu Xiaotian.
"Fellow Fu, don't worry. I just need a place to stay. Having a place to heal is already good enough. As for other things, it's better if I don't see it." Lu Xiaotian nodded. He had long seen that the two factions didn't get along. Naturally, he didn't want to rashly get involved in this kind of power struggle. This Fu Mingyuan clearly wasn't simple, but as long as he didn't provoke him, Lu Xiaotian could only turn a blind eye.
"That's good. It seems that Lu Daoyou is also a smart person. Talking to smart people really saves a lot of trouble. Since that's the case, Chu Qi, take Lu Daoyou to rest. Arrange a secluded place for him so that he won't disturb Lu Daoyou's recovery. "Fu Mingyuan was very satisfied with Lu Xiaotian's attitude.
"Yes, Senior Lu. This way, please." After entering the villa, the thick-browed youth who had been following beside him said.
After arriving at the bamboo building, Lu Xiaotian finally understood why Fu Mingyuan had emphasized the word 'secluded'. The bamboo building in front of him was alone on a small mountain. It was in the most secluded area of the Hidden Moon Villa. Around it were some unremarkable fallen leaves and trees. Some low-grade spirit trees almost completely covered the bamboo building.
"Senior Lu, this is the place. You should rest early! Junior will take his leave first. " Chu Qi looked at Lu Xiaotian's expression and was worried that Lu Xiaotian wouldn't be satisfied with the environment here. Although he was an outsider, the anger of a Jin Dan cultivator wasn't something he could endure. Thus, he took his leave early.
