Chapter 69: The Beauty of the Joyful Union Sect and Their Skills
Lin Fengmian finally understood the situation. Indeed, there was still a gap between the rich and the poor everywhere.
Luo Xue was clearly someone who didn’t lack Spirit Stones. She was willing to use a teleportation array to save someone as insignificant as him.
“So that’s how it is. I was thinking too much,” he thought.
Now he was worried about whether there had been any airships passing through the Zhao Kingdom recently. According to Wen Qinlin, airships here operated similarly to ordinary ships, not every day, but on a scheduled basis. If there were no airships, he might have to wait for several days. He just hoped that he wouldn’t be so unlucky.
As Lin Fengmian walked through the city and looked around, he suddenly pointed at a magnificent building in the city and asked, “Brother Wen, what is this place?
Wen Qinlin explained, “This is the city lord’s mansion. The City Lord, Bai Yi, the True Master, is a Void Realm cultivator with profound cultivation. He sits in the city to intimidate the villains.”
Lin Fengmian was surprised to learn that a Void Realm cultivator was stationed here.
According to the cultivation hierarchy of this world-Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Severing, Unity, Void Realm, Great Ascension, and Transcendent Masters-this person’s strength was undoubtedly formidable.
Although he had already met Luo Xue and Xu Tingyu, both of whom were in the Void Realm, their lack of a master’s demeanor made it difficult for him to associate them with high-level cultivators.
Wen Qinlin pointed to a tower-like building next to the city lord’s mansion and chuckled, “Brother Lin, this is the Heavenly Patrol Tower where the Heavenly Patrolling Guards are stationed.”
Lin Fengmian looked over and saw a black, imposing tower standing next to the City Lord’s Mansion, exuding solemnity and awe.
Seeing Lin Fengmian’s interest, Wen Qinlin suggested, “Let’s go to the dock to exchange a boarding pass, and then we can accompany you to the Heavenly Patrol Tower, how about it?”
Lin Fengmian nodded, “Then I’ll have to trouble you two.”
At the dock, Lin Fengmian discovered that there were also many ordinary people boarding the airships. According to Wen Qinlin, most of them were merchants who used the airships for transportation or to travel between places, which was why mundane jade slips could also be used.
After a while, the three of them left the dock feeling relieved and headed towards the Heavenly Patrol Tower.
Their luck was good; an airship was scheduled to pass through the Zhao Kingdom the next morning.
“Brother Lin, you may have to endure some discomfort on this journey, but fortunately, it’s not too far,” Wen Qinlin apologized.
Lin Fengmian shook his head, “I’m not one of those pampered people. It’s just a lower class cabin, right? I’ve been in one before.”
Since he used a mundane identity to buy the ticket, he could only get a lower class cabin for the same price.
This was probably the difference between mortals and cultivators. Even if you paid more, the treatment was still not as good as that of cultivators.
Above the middle-class cabins, there were also high-class cabins and VIP cabins, but their prices were much higher.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Patrol Tower, Wen Qinlin smiled and said, “Brother Lin, go inside. The procedures should be quite complicated.
We’ll go back to the inn and wait for you.”
Lin Fengmian knew that the Heavenly Patrol Tower did not welcome idle people; unless there was an urgent matter, outsiders were not allowed to disturb them.
He nodded, “See you later!”
Wen Qinlin and the other person folded their hands and left. Lin Fengmian, feeling a bit uncomfortable, entered the dark, massive black stone tower.
The first floor of the tower was spacious and imposing, black in color, exuding solemnity.
But after looking around the first floor, Lin Fengmian couldn’t find anyone and was confused, “Is there anyone here?”
His voice echoed on the first floor of the tower. Just then, a door creaked open.
A disheveled, yawning old man stepped out, his eyes half-closed and impatient, “Who is it? What are you doing so early in the morning?”
Lin Fengmian was speechless. It was noon outside, yet the old man called it early morning.
He complained in his heart, but respectfully said, “Greetings, Senior. May I ask if you are a Heaven Patrolling Guard?”
The sleepy old man yawned again before asking, “Yes, boy, what do you want?”
Lin Fengmian respectfully replied, “This junior has just escaped from the Northern Abyss Joyful Union Sect, and I am afraid that the demoness of the Joyful Union Sect might harm my family. I would like to request the protection of the Heavenly Patrol.”
The old man’s eyes lit up as he suddenly grabbed Lin Fengmian’s hand in surprise, “You’ve seen the demoness of the Joyful Union Sect? Are they pretty? Are they alluring?”
Lin Fengmian was startled and said after a while, “Senior, what does their appearance have to do with anything?”
The old man got angry, “Just tell me if they’re pretty and seductive. Less nonsense!”
Lin Fengmian, feeling both amused and helpless, said, “They are quite pretty, and there are also seductive ones. They come in different shapes and sizes, each one different.”
The old man took a deep breath in excitement, “Did they do anything to you? Were their skills good? Did it really feel ethereal?”
Lin Fengmian: ???
Under the old man’s intense gaze, he could only answer honestly, “Yes, they were quite good, but isn’t that the main point, Senior?”
“What’s not the main point?” the old man said with righteous indignation.
Lin Fengmian, feeling both amused and helpless, sat down as the old man pulled him over and offered him a pot of water with great enthusiasm, “Come, come, let’s talk slowly.”
He had no choice but to sit down and answer the old man’s bizarre questions one by one.
But the old man’s questions became more and more absurd, even asking about cultivation stances, the size of their chest, and the slenderness of their waist.
Lin Fengmian asked in surprise, “Senior, isn’t this unrelated to my matter?”
The old man’s face darkened, “If you don’t tell me, how will I know if you are lying to me?”
Lin Fengmian, feeling both amused and helpless, could only make up answers that the old man listened to with great interest.
Meanwhile, Zhou Xiaoping followed Wen Qinlin back, curious: “Sister, since we have come to the Heavenly Patrol Tower, why didn’t you go inside?”
Wen Qinlin shook her head and looked anxious, “I won’t go inside. I can go to other places, but I don’t want to go to this Heavenly Patrol Tower!”
Zhou Xiaoping asked curiously, “Why is that?”
Wen Qinlin’s face was strange, her expression difficult, “There is a lecherous old man inside. If it’s not urgent, you shouldn’t go in either.”
Zhou Xiaoping was astonished, “Will Brother Lin be okay?”
Wen Qinlin snorted coldly, “He will be fine. They might even get along quite well! Men are all the same!”
Zhou Xiaoping smiled, “Sister, it seems like you have some opinions about Brother Lin . Why is that?”
Wen Qinlin shook her head, “It’s nothing. I always judge based on the situation, not the person. It’s just that he seems to be hiding something, and his actions are a bit strange.”
Zhou Xiaoping, who was meticulous, had also noticed Lin Fengmian’s oddity. She smiled indifferently, “Sister, I don’t think he’s a bad person. Who doesn’t have some secrets?”
“He seems to be troubled by something on this journey. Why don’t you help him?”
Wen Qinlin felt both amused and helpless, “You need to be more discerning, Junior Sister! You can’t judge a person by their appearance.”
“Oh… So are you going to help him or not?” Zhou Xiaoping asked.
Wen Qinlin finally gave in and sighed, “If he doesn’t ask for help, I can’t help him. Let’s wait until he asks.”
Zhou Xiaoping smiled happily, “Sister, you’re so kind!”
