Fortunately, it was time for sightseeing and most of the guests had already left. Therefore, the ten people lying on the ground did not cause any commotion. When Xiao Tong brought her people here, they were shocked to see the ten people on the ground who seemed to have been frozen into ice cubes.
The leader was Xu Li. As the supervisor, she was mainly responsible for everything on this floor of the Sky rooms. She was wearing a luxurious red robe and looked extremely noble. She was worlds apart from the ordinary maids.
Xu Li walked closer to look at these people. As she approached, she felt a chill and could not help but shiver.
It was obvious that the ten people on the ground were completely dead. There was no possibility of survival. As the supervisor of the Sky rooms, she remembered all the guests. These ten people were definitely not guests of the Sky rooms.
"Carry them out and let the supervisors of the other three floors identify them." Xu Li frowned and instructed the people beside her, "Be careful. Don't attract the attention of the guests."
"Yes." The people around her responded and immediately got to work. However, these corpses were too cold. They had to cover them with a few layers of cotton before they could carry them away.
After giving her instructions, Xu Li turned to look at Xiaotong and asked with a frown, "Where are the guests?"
"In the room." Xiaotong quickly lowered her head and said.
Xu Li nodded slightly and walked to the door. She reached out and knocked on the door gently. "Hello, I'm the supervisor of the Sky rooms, Xu Li."
"Come in."
Xu Li pushed the door open and saw Lu An sitting on the chair. Lu An was surprised to see Xu Li at the door. He did not expect this woman to be in charge. He stood up and said, "Come in and have a seat."
Xu Li nodded and walked into the guest room and sat in front of Lu An. This was the third time she met this young man. Every time she met him, he would give her a different surprise.
"Young Master Lu, Xiaotong has already told me what happened. I'm deeply sorry for what happened." Xu Li's expression was solemn as she said, "The Heavenly Star will compensate you accordingly. I hope you can bear with it."
Lu An nodded slightly and said, "Compared to compensation, I'm more interested in an explanation. I believe that you know better than me who sent these people. I hope that you can help me solve this matter. Don't make me solve it. "
Xu Li was stunned when she heard this. Then, she looked at Lu An with a slight frown. Lu An's expression was calm. When he said those words, there was not a trace of emotion. If one had to say something, it would be a trace of indifference.
It was obvious that this young man was threatening him. If she didn't solve it, he might do more things.
If that man died on the ship, the consequences would be unimaginable …
At the thought of this, Xu Li's frown deepened. She then took a deep breath and nodded at Lu An. "Please don't worry, Young Master Lu. I will definitely resolve this matter properly."
"Thank you," Lu An said with a smile.
Xu Li got up and was about to leave when she suddenly stopped at the door. She turned around and looked at Lu An who was still sitting on the chair. After a moment of thought, she asked, "May I ask where Young Master Lu is from?"
Lu An turned his head and looked at Xu Li calmly. Xu Li was startled by the look in his eyes. There was no trace of the immaturity he had when he first boarded the ship!
"Just a small country," Lu An said faintly.
Xu Li's body trembled. She looked at Lu An. It was obvious that this young man was not telling the truth. She then smiled and said, "Then I shall not disturb you any further. Please look for me if you need anything."
"Okay," Lu An said.
After that, Xu Li left. Only Lu An and Xiaotong were left in the guest room. After watching Xu Li leave, Xiaotong's body felt lighter. She even let out a long sigh.
Although Xu Li was a woman, her words carried a lot of weight on the Heavenly Star. Especially to them, she had absolute power over their lives.
She turned to look at Young Master, who was still sitting on the chair. She could feel that Supervisor Xu had lost in the clash of auras between the two of them!
This was absolutely an inconceivable thing!
Lu An, who was sitting on the chair, frowned slightly. Actually, when Xu Li asked him just now, he wanted to say that he was from the Dacheng Sky Mountain. This way, he could avoid a lot of trouble. However, after pondering for a while, he did not say it in the end.
Due to Han Ya's incident, he did not have a good impression of the Dacheng Sky Mountain. He might even become their enemy. Therefore, he did not want to borrow their glory.
After taking a light breath, he stood up and looked out of the balcony. No matter what, Nanhai City was just a place for him to cultivate. He was just a passerby. He did not want to have any conflicts here.
After thinking about it, Lu An looked at Xiaotong and said in a deep voice, "Unless I leave this place, you don't have to leave either. Whether it's food delivery or other matters, get someone else to do it. You just have to stay here. "
Xiaotong was stunned when she heard that. Although she did not know why Young Master wanted to do that, she quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Young Master."
After giving his instructions, Lu An returned to his bedroom. After today's incident, he was certain that a calm ocean would not help him in cultivating the Wrath of the Ocean. Therefore, unless there was a storm, he would not leave this house.
As for Xiaotong, he was worried that something would happen to her.
Sitting on the bed with his legs crossed, Lu An took a deep breath. He cleared his mind and began cultivating. Soon, red and white colors appeared on his skin. Currently, he was still tempering his body for an hour every day. This was what the person in the black fog had told him at the beginning. Although tempering his body was no longer useful to him, it allowed him to remain indifferent to pain and work hard on his cultivation.
Moreover, Lu An noticed that the longer he tempered his body, the less pain he felt. He initially thought that it was an illusion, but the feeling was getting more and more obvious. This made him feel very strange, and he wondered if his sense of pain was gradually fading.
After tempering his body, Lu An was covered in sweat. However, the amount of sweat he was sweating was much less than before. Now, he did not even need to rest as he could continue with his cultivation. No matter what, he did not think that it was a bad thing.
Therefore, Lu An locked himself in his bedroom all day long. He did not come out except during mealtimes. On the other hand, Xiaotong stayed in the study room. She was bored to death as she wandered back and forth in the luxurious Sky Room. Although it was not her first time in the Sky Room, it was her first time being so free.
As they spent more time together, Xiaotong felt that Young Master really hoped that she could be more relaxed. Therefore, she gradually relaxed, including her attitude towards Lu An.
Now, she could even joke with Young Master during mealtimes. This was something that was unimaginable in the past.
After Lu An's identity as a Taoist Master was made public, he did not hide the fact that he was cultivating. As an ordinary person, Xiaotong was very curious about the world of Taoist Masters. Occasionally, Lu An would tell her some things that would make her excited for the whole day.
Xu Li also sent a lot of compensation as promised. Lu An did not stand on ceremony and accepted it directly. Moreover, Xu Li promised that nothing unpleasant would happen on the ship. This made Lu An slightly relieved.
However, the weather was not on his side. After a few days, it was all sunny and there was no wind at all. This made Lu An very depressed. Later on during mealtimes, Xiaotong told him that every time the Heavenly Star went out to sea, it would get someone to do a divination.
Therefore, the Heavenly Star would only choose to go out to sea when the weather was sunny. This was to ensure the guests' experience and safety. However, Lu An was very upset when he found out. If that was the case, wouldn't his trip be ruined?
Suddenly, Lu An's heart ached for the money that he had spent. Now, he was only waiting for these days to pass. When he returned to Nanhai City, he would get someone to do a divination and row the ship out to sea when the weather was the worst.
As for these days, he would just treat it as if he was being extravagant.
On the eighth day out to sea, early morning.
When the sky was just beginning to brighten, Lu An sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate. He did not move at all. Although the ship shook from time to time, he was as still as a clock and did not move at all.
After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, exhaled lightly, and went to wash his face.
It was time to eat breakfast again.
Thinking of this, Lu An pushed the door open. However, when he opened the door, he realized that Xiaotong was already standing at the door, as if waiting for him to come out.
As expected, after seeing the Young Master, Xiaotong's face was instantly covered with joy. She quickly said, "Young Master, you're finally out!"
"What's wrong?" Lu An asked curiously.
Xiaotong's face was filled with excitement as she said happily, "We're about to reach the Immortal Island!"
