Out of curiosity, Qinghan turned around, and found an elder standing alongside his Death Squad. The silver-haired elder, who was in a grey robe, was smiling at them.
“As far as I know, only those cultivators below the age of the thirty are allowed to participate in the Elite Prefecture War. Why is there an elder here?” Qinghan raised his vigilance, ready for an emergency.
However, Shisan tapped Qinghan’s arm, and whispered in his ear, “Take it easy, young lord. He is responsible for safeguarding this island. Of course, the elders aren’t planning on entering Ghost Island.”
Both Shisan and Shiqi cupped one of their hands upon the other, and shouted, “Your highness, guardian elder of the island!”
“Nice to meet you, respected elder!” Qinghan, together with his Death Squad team, followed suit, and bowed to the elder.
“Glad to meet you here! I guess you’re the descendant of the Ye family, aren’t you? Well, we’ve reserved the southern yard for your team. Please, walk along this road, and there are servants waiting at your rooms for your arrival.” The grey-robed elder suddenly disappeared, after he had finished saying these words.
“Teleportation?” Qinghan turned to Shisan for help, as he was terrified by witnessing such a technique, which had allowed the elder to vanish within a second.
“I don’t think so!” Shisan said, as his eyes were still flashing with the awe he had for the elder. He pondered for a while, before he explained, “This elder should at least be in the Realm of the Saint. Based on the Law of Heaven and Earth, he studies its special rules. It’s his fast speed, that makes him disappear almost instantly.”
“That’s quite impressive!” Qinghan kept silent after learning this information. Originally, owing to his terrifying speed in cultivation, he had grown a little bit self-conceited about his ability. In other words, he wasn’t as diligent as he used to be. Now, after seeing this incredible technique, however, he regretted his ignorance, and was determined to unswervingly continue his cultivation. Because currently, he had only just stepped over the threshold of the vast cultivation world, and there was still a long way to go. Otherwise, he could be killed by those more advanced cultivators, who accounted for a large number of the people in this world.
The elder, by showing off in front of Qinghan and his team, warned them to refrain themselves from arrogance, and to stay alert. However strong you were, there was always someone stronger out there! At the beginning of the war, the first and foremost thing for them was to adjust their mindset, so that others wouldn’t be able to abuse it.
“Go!”
After realizing the true purpose of this elder, Qinghan sighed with relief, and instructed his team to move forward.
The island wasn’t as large as it was supposed to be, because people could see its entirety with a single glance. The whole island was filled with countless yards, and in the near distance, there was a boundless ocean.
Since the island was protected by elders in the Realm of the Saint, it was supposed to be rather safe here. The yards, made of cyan bricks and black tiles, were neatly arranged here.
When Qinghan and his team arrived at the southern yard, he didn’t find Feng Zi and Hua Cao, who were probably busy settling in themselves. As he was being led by two guardian elders, who were in symbolic grey robes, Qinghan walked to the small yard specially prepared for the members of the Ye family. Qinghan asked Shisan to arrange the Death Squad, as he and Shiqi entered the lobby.
Inside the lobby, various people had clustered together, among which, a familiar face fell into Qinghan’s vision.
“Ye Qingwu! Why are you here?” Since they’d went separate paths two months ago, Qinghan was stunned to encounter her here. As always, Qingwu was in a scarlet-red tight, leather short, and a pair of ankle boots. Her feminine shape, as well as her pure, innocent face, distinguished herself.
“Haha, you can come here, so why can’t I? Remember, I’m listed as the number six on the Mortal Ranking List. I’m qualified to be here!” Qingwu stood up from her chair, as her two straight, slim legs grabbed everyone’s attention, dazzling their hearts and minds.
“Nice to meet you, young lord Qinghan.” The other four people, who were sitting beside Qingwu, also stood up and cordially bowed to Qinghan.
“Forget these formalities. Shiqi knows that I’m not fond of formal rules.” Qinghan slightly nodded his head, and glanced at Qingwu, with a smile, “Miss Qingwu, would you please explain a few things to me?”
“Hey, Qinghan, don’t call me Miss Qingwu. It feels distant. Our family may not treat you well, but I’ve always been friendly to you. Remember, we’ll probably risk our lives in this war in order to help you earn more credits. How can you treat me like a stranger?” Qingwu said, as she was dissatisfied by the title ‘Miss Qingwu’.
