The sound of Lu Ye's Divine Sense reverberated in the treasury. Haitang, who was about to leave, sensed it and immediately stopped, looking at Lu Ye in confusion.
Lu Ye still looked up and shouted, "Come out!"
A cloud of fog appeared out of thin air as far as the eye could see. It was the same fog that appeared when the treasury was first opened. Just like before, the fog twisted and distorted, and a sinister voice came from it, "What is it?"
"Senior!" Lu Ye bowed before speaking again, "Junior would like to confirm something with Senior, and I would like to ask for Senior's permission."
The voice from the fog sounded a little impatient, "Speak!"
Lu Ye said, "Senior said before that since Junior has passed the test of the Specter Ship, then Junior can choose anything on this ship and take it away. Is that so?"
The fog said, "That is correct. So … have you made your choice?" Lu Ye nodded, "I have."
"Since you have a choice, then just take it. Why ask me? But there is only one chance, so … do you choose the orb in front of you?"
Lu Ye looked down at the orb on the stone platform in front of him and slowly shook his head. He looked up again and saw Haitang looking over in confusion, raised his hand, and pointed, "I choose her!"
Haitang was stunned.
The many crew members standing behind Haitang outside the treasury were slightly stunned, and their expressions all twisted. Waves of ghostly wails and howls came from there, as if they were extremely dissatisfied with Lu Ye's choice.
Even the fog in the treasury twisted and changed a little faster, no longer as calm as before. Instead, it seemed a little angry, "Impossible!"
Lu Ye was calm and unruffled, "Senior, are you going to go back on your word? Junior has confirmed with Senior again. Since the rules are as such, then Junior dares to ask, is Senior Apprentice Sister Haitang part of the ship? "
An unwilling voice came out from the fog, "Yes!"
"Since she is, then I can choose her, unless Senior intends to go back on his word!" Lu Ye looked in the direction of the fog, his expression firm.
"But …"
"No buts!" Lu Ye interrupted the fog rudely. As for whether it would cause any bad consequences, the various encounters on the Specter Ship made him understand one thing, and that was that although this place was strange and dangerous, as long as he acted within the rules, there would be no problem. When the fog appeared before him, it had read out the rules of the treasury, so Lu Ye's decision at this moment did not break or jump out of the rules.
He was sure that the fog would not refuse him.
Of course, whether this matter or not, he had to give it a try!
It would have been fine if he hadn't noticed it, but since he had, Lu Ye's conscience wouldn't be at ease if he didn't try.
After being interrupted by Lu Ye, the mist seemed to be in great discomfort. It twisted violently for a while before it spoke again, "Brat, do you know what kind of treasure the pearl in front of you is?"
"I don't know!" Lu Ye shook his head honestly.
"If this pearl is the Great Yan Spiritual Pearl, it can help you …"
"I don't, I don't!" Lu Ye raised his hand to cover his ears and shook his head continuously. Of course, covering his ears was just for show and had no practical use. He also sealed his divine sense while he was at it.
The fog shook violently!
For so many years, whether intentional or not, many cultivators had wandered on the Specter Ship. Not to mention those who did not complete the test, there were still some who passed the test. But those who passed the test were not dazzled by the treasures in this treasury. But when it was this boy's turn, she wanted to tell him about the many wonders of the Spirit Orb, and he actually did not listen?
After a while, Lu Ye opened his Mind again, and the fog's voice immediately came to his ears. "Not to mention anything else, if this Spirit Orb is sold, it's worth at least a million spirit jades. So, boy, do you know its great value?"
The fog was obviously waiting for this moment. She did not have the time to explain the wonders of the Spirit Orb to Lu Ye, and directly told him how much it was worth.
Of course, a million spirit jades was just a measure of value. In the starry sky, this kind of treasure was generally priceless. Lu Ye was not tempted at all, and still looked at the fog stubbornly. "I'll choose her, you just tell me if it's okay or not!"
Outside the treasury, the screams and howls were getting louder and louder. Qin Zong and the others' faces were all distorted. It seemed that if they were not restricted by certain restrictions and could not enter the treasury, they would have rushed in and torn him to pieces.
The crew had always been a part of the Specter Ship. They were keen to see others in the same situation as them, but they did not want to see anyone escape from the Specter Ship.
The fog no longer shook, and the voice became much gentler. "Boy, are you sure you want to make this choice?" "Yes!" Lu Ye nodded heavily.
"Hahahaha …" The fog shook, and seemed to be very happy. "What an interesting boy. For so many years, there has never been anyone like you. It's really an eye-opener!" The voice became serious. "In that case, you can take her away!"
Lu Ye just wanted to give it a try, but he did not expect it to succeed. He immediately bowed. "Thank you, Senior. I was rude just now, please forgive me!"
He turned around and strode toward Haitang, who was standing there at a loss.
Since the fog appeared again, Haitang was dumbfounded after hearing Lu Ye's request. She never thought that Lu Ye would make such a request at the last moment. She also never thought that she would have any hope of escaping from the Specter Ship!
Since the day she fell into this place and failed the test, she knew that her life would end here. She would continue to weaken here until she vanished into thin air and completely turned into nutrients for the ghost ship. She would not even become a part of the ghost ship like Qin Zong and the other crew members. The day she disappeared, there would be no trace of her in this world.
She had already mentally prepared herself.
The warning and information sharing to Lu Ye was just a kind of mentality to help. She did not expect anything else. Since she was a person who was going to die, she just had to accept her fate.
But she did not expect that at the last moment, there would be such a twist.
When Lu Ye made that request, she even suspected that she had heard wrong. When Lu Ye and the fog argued, she was so grateful that she almost shed tears.
At this moment, seeing Lu Ye walking toward her, Haitang could no longer hold back. Tears fell from the corner of her eyes. She choked and shouted, "Junior Brother Lu …"
"Let's talk outside. Let's go!" Lu Ye called out to her. With one hand on the hilt of the Pan Shan Saber, he was ready to go.
Although the fog agreed to let him take Haitang out, there was still some trouble at the entrance of the treasure house. Qin Zong and the others were like ghosts, wanting to eat him alive. But because of the rules, they could not set foot in the treasure house. If he wanted to go out now, he would have to fight!
Haitang obviously noticed that something was wrong. She quickly followed behind Lu Ye, focused her mind, and secretly urged her spiritual power.
However, to Lu Ye's surprise, as he continued to approach, the state of Qin Zong and the others also changed.
The cries and howls quickly disappeared, and the ferocious looks on the faces of the many crew members blocking the entrance of the treasury turned into gentle smiles. Their eyes were full of praise and admiration as they looked at Lu Ye, and then at Haitang, which turned into envy.
These guys … what the hell are they doing?
Lu Ye did not let down his guard. He stepped out of the treasure house and stood in front of Qin Zong and the others. His long saber was slightly unsheathed half an inch!
Qin Zong did not say anything. He just walked forward, patted Lu Ye's shoulder gently, and then turned into a cloud of fog. Xiao Jianming followed, and then Xu Qingwei …
One crew member after another came forward, as if to say their final goodbyes to Lu Ye.
Lu Ye vaguely understood that these crew members did not want to see Haitang leave the ghost ship, so they were full of malice when he made that request. At the same time, their behavior of blocking the entrance of the treasure house was probably their final test for him.
He had made up his mind to take Haitang away, and they were powerless to stop him. As a part of the ghost ship forever, they now only admired Lu Ye and envied Haitang.
Not everyone could give up the treasure in the treasure house and take away an insignificant crew member.
Deep in their hearts, they were probably looking forward to such a thing, looking forward to the day when another person would take one of them away.
Human nature was always so complicated.
The thick fog was just like the scene when Lu Ye fell into the ghost ship. It was invisible to the naked eye and undetectable by Divine Sense.
A sinister voice unique to the mist sounded in Lu Ye's ears, "Boy, you're the first one to make such a choice in so many years. You're not bad. As a reward for letting me watch a good show, I'll bestow you with a benefit!"
As the words fell, the thick fog in the surroundings poured into Lu Ye's body. Lu Ye was slightly surprised and hurriedly urged his Spiritual Power to protect himself.
Although the fog said it was a benefit, Lu Ye did not dare to believe it.
But strangely, no matter how he urged his Spiritual Power, he could not stop the fog from fusing with him.
He quickly immersed his mind to check his Talent Tree and found nothing unusual. Only then did he feel relieved. In a moment, the fog around him disappeared, and his vision became clear again.
Lu Ye looked around and found that he was now somewhere in the starry sky. In his field of vision, a tattered battleship was rushing into the distance.
It was the ghost ship!
Lu Ye frowned and finally bowed in the direction of the Specter Ship. "Thank you for your advice, senior!" There was no response.
There was no need for any response.
The chances of meeting in the starry sky were very small. The ghost ship was drifting around, and Lu Ye estimated that he would probably never see it again in his life, nor would he have any dealings with it.
Watching the ghost ship disappear, Lu Ye finally realized that he had left the ghost ship. Where was Haitang?
"Junior Brother Lu!" A Divine Sense came from afar, and at the same time, Haitang's voice came, revealing a strong sense of weakness.
Lu Ye hurriedly rushed in that direction and soon came to where Haitang was. When he looked carefully, he was shocked. "Senior Sister Haitang, why are you … like this?"
