CHAPTER 892: CHAPTER 359: BEIMING

This guy deserved it, indeed, he brought it upon himself and couldn’t live.

However, he still hoped that on this trip to the Immortal Palace, Jian Cangfeng could pull himself together.

"No wonder Coach Ye is so angry, Senior Brother did handle this poorly."

Seeing Jian Cangfeng’s miserable expression become even more miserable, Chu Xisheng changed his tone and said, "But this matter isn’t without a silver lining. Senior Brother Jian, you just need to let the instructor know that being deeply hidden is your true nature, not an intentional deception, and it might calm her anger."

Jian Cangfeng heard this and remained silent, feeling that this idea wasn’t very reliable.

Initially, he didn’t mean to deceive, but later he truly enjoyed receiving care from Ye Zhiqiu.

Jian Cangfeng indeed didn’t guess wrong.

As he gradually advanced in cultivation, entering the Outer Disciple from the Lower Institute of the Formless Divine Sect, then from the Outer Disciple to the Inner Sect, and later becoming a True Inheritor, Ye Zhiqiu indeed stopped having much contact with him.

Chu Xisheng continued, "If this plan doesn’t work, why not separate for a few months? People tend to forget. When some time passes and Senior Brother appears before the instructor again, she certainly won’t be as angry as she is now."

But Jian Cangfeng shook his head: "Junior Brother, you don’t understand your Senior Sister’s temperament; she hates it most when those close to her deceive her."

He felt that even Chu Xisheng was just so-so.

Jian Cangfeng had thought that the beauties surrounding Chu Xisheng were due to his skills, but it turned out they were all because of his handsome and enchanting face.

This world is indeed unfair. Some people thrive with just their looks.

"The question is, does Senior Brother Jian count as someone close to the instructor in her eyes?"

Chu Xisheng saw Jian Cangfeng’s pupils twist and contract in such pain.

His previous words indeed pierced right into the heart.

In Ye Zhiqiu’s eyes, the relationship between Jian Cangfeng and her was just that of ordinary senior and junior siblings.

"So it’s okay to bring this matter to light, Senior Brother. You might as well start anew. After some time, when you appear before Coach Ye again, her impression of you will surely be refreshed."

Jian Cangfeng couldn’t help but utter a "hmm," with a gleam appearing in his eyes.

Although Chu Xisheng’s words were hurtful, upon careful thought, they seemed to make a lot of sense.

Ye Zhiqiu indeed resented his concealment; just how much anger could there be?

The melancholy in his heart dissipated quite a bit.

Yet, Chu Xisheng was not very optimistic about Jian Cangfeng.

Ye Zhiqiu is truly aloof and independent, extremely strong, and not very interested in romantic feelings.

Jian Cangfeng wishing to win over the beauty is as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

But he still patted Jian Cangfeng’s shoulder, "As the saying goes, sincerity conquers stone; a constant flow of water can pierce through stone. I believe that as long as Senior Brother Jian persists, there will surely be a day when you touch the instructor’s heart."

Jian Cangfeng smiled slightly and put away the gourd in his hand, "Thank you for your kind words. If that day truly comes, I will surely invite Junior Brother for a drink."

He then took another gourd from his sleeve and took a shallow sip.

Chu Xisheng smelled the scent of wine and couldn’t help but be slightly surprised, "Senior Brother Jian, what do you mean? You were drinking water earlier, and now you’ve started drinking wine."

"This, drinking wine isn’t it to drown one’s sorrows?"

Jian Cangfeng shook the gourd in his hand, "But I don’t need to drown my sorrows; every bit of melancholy caused by my junior sister, I wish to remember."

Chu Xisheng’s lips twitched slightly, rendered speechless.

This Senior Brother Jian was obviously also a hopeless romantic, but not all hopeless romantics are the same; Jian Cangfeng’s character and temperament are different from Li Tiangong.

About four hours later, their two boats sailed out of Cang Province, flying above the sea’s surface.

Chu Xisheng focused his True Yuan and looked down from there, seeing through the Five Layers of Clouds to those gigantic ice cities below.

It was his first time seeing the main city of Extreme East Ice City and the vast array of airships of the Extreme East Ice City, which shocked him to the core.

By his rough estimation, there had to be as many as eighty thousand floating battleships. Calculating an average of a hundred people per ship, that’s a force of eight million!

But these floating battleships seemed to have limitations, unable to venture far from those ice cities, drastically diminishing their tactical and strategic value.

Otherwise, just these floating battleships alone could easily crush the entire Daning Dynasty.

No wonder after Li Changsheng swept through the Daning Imperial City, Emperor Jianyuan had to swallow his pride.

Under the heavy threat of Extreme East Ice City, the Daning Court indeed couldn’t turn against the Formless Divine Sect.

No wonder Extreme East Ice City is so forceful.

Follow me and live, oppose me and perish — Extreme East Ice City indeed has the backing to say this line.

At this moment, many experts inside the Extreme East Ice City also sensed this, rising into the sky from within the city, quickly ascending above the third layer of clouds, vigilantly watching them pass overhead from high above.

The two treasure ships continued flying southeast, and after another hour, Chu Xisheng suddenly heard a warning transmission from Yan Guilai.

"Be careful, there are people from Beiming Palace ahead; before heading to Cloud Sea Immortal Palace, we might first have to deal with these scoundrels."

Chu Xisheng’s pupils immediately contracted, and he began concentrating in preparation.

Beiming Palace, Penglai Everday City, and Extreme East Ice City are one of the three major forces of the outer sea of the Human Clan.

Of course, there’s also one more identity, the mortal enemy of the Formless Divine Sect!

Beiming Palace and the Formless Divine Sect are located close to each other and have attempted multiple times to contend with the Formless Divine Sect for Juezhou, always being repelled by the Formless Divine Sect.

Jian Cangfeng also stood up, looked ahead through the crystal shield.

His face was calm, "There’s a huge fish under the water; this should be Beiming Palace’s Shen Kun, the Great Elder."
