C211 A Guest from Afar

Looh Miaoer held back her laughter and continued, "Miss Ma said that she wanted to have dinner with you alone, so she specially sent someone over to invite you over. When will Young Master go?"

Du Qi suddenly came back to his senses and knew that Looh Miaoer was making fun of him. But he still pretended to be confused and said seriously, "The appointment of a beauty cannot be missed, but I have to celebrate the deed of killing bandits with my brothers. Miss Ma can only trouble Miaoer to go and entertain on my behalf. When I return at night, I will reward you well. Go!"

Looh Miaoer said," The appointment of a beauty is not something that can be replaced by us servants. It is better for Young Master to go on his own. Otherwise, once the beauty gets angry, the consequences will be severe. "

Du Qi sighed and said," Everyone wants to meet the beauty, but not being able to attend the appointment of a beauty is also a headache! What should I do when Miaoer asks me? "

Suddenly, a clear voice said, "If I can't make an appointment with a beauty, why not make an appointment with a beauty?"

This voice was clear and ethereal, and it seemed to come from extremely far away, yet it resounded clearly by his ears. Even with Du Qi and Looh Miaoer's ability, they were actually unable to determine where this voice came from. It was as if it came from all directions, making it difficult to determine where it came from. It seemed strange and strange. It was obvious that the person who spoke was a strange person with unique skills. Du Qi could not help but respect the voice. He invited the voice with a clear voice, "Thank you for your guidance, friend. How about we have a chat on the boat?"

The voice was still the same as before as he said, "When I saw you guys docking on the shore, I originally wanted to board the boat to rest, but I was afraid that I would be rude and rash. Since little friend has invited me, it would be impolite for me to decline."

Although the surroundings were pitch black like ink, Du Qi still saw it clearly. Although this place was a ferry, there were no signs of human habitation on the shore nearby. There seemed to be some broken walls in the depths of the weeds. There was only a concave area on the shore that was slightly shaking along with the river water. A lantern hung high on the mast. The dim light passed through the heavy night sky and seemed a little strange. A few crew members were hiding in the cabin, not knowing what they were doing. They did not care about their arrival. It seemed that nothing in the world could interest them.

Du Qi did not know if the boatman on the ferry had heard the sound, nor did he know what the man was doing by the desolate river. However, it was obvious that the person had never thought of going to the ferry, which was why he said so. So he got up and smiled. "It is our fortune to have a friend here!"

The voice laughed and suddenly turned from ethereal and ethereal to clear and real. He also appeared in front of Du Qi and the others and took two steps back and forth. His eyes swept across everyone with a profound light. He seemed to be somewhat happy as he cupped his fists towards Du Qi and said, "Little friend is indeed extraordinary. Being able to get to know little friend is not in vain for me to come here!"

Perhaps it was because they had seen the Ninja before, but when they saw that person suddenly appear on the balcony, they did not feel much surprise. Du Qi saw that person's figure was tall, about 25 or 26 years old. He had a handsome appearance and wore a long blue robe. It seemed as if he was made of some unknown material. His every movement revealed a free and unfettered mood. His entire person seemed to be deep and unfettered. He gave people a calm and tranquil feeling. He was like a deity that had descended to the mortal world. He did not have the slightest scent of the mortal world. He did not care about being spoiled or humiliated, and he did not care about staying or leaving. Du Qi hurriedly returned the salute and turned to the side to let him sit down. "I heard from my friend that you came all the way here just to visit?"

That person said, "It should be considered so. Why did little friend not continue to move forward and stay here at night?"

Du Qi said, "Just because the bottom of the boat was broken by a thief and had to be fixed here, is there anything wrong with that?"

That person said, "It's not just inappropriate, it's simply terrible to the extreme! However, little friend's luck is deep, and he just happened to meet. Even though there are more variables, it's not a big problem, so he should be fine!"

Du Qi couldn't help but be moved in his heart when he heard this, and he couldn't help but look at the protruding enormous rock at the center of the river. The trees and weeds on it swayed, yet there was nothing unusual about it. But he still said with slight doubt, "Could it be that this friend has come specifically for this?"

That person suddenly sighed and said, "Alas! Who would have the leisure to come here if not for this vile creature?"

At the same time as he spoke, Du Qi secretly gathered his energy and sent out a trace of spiritual Yuan energy to probe the huge rock in the middle of the river. However, he still found nothing. He casually said, "Could it be that the rumored phenomenon will really happen tonight?"

That person said, "That is not a rumor, but a fact. There is only one thing that is different from what you just said. There has never been a night boat that has been destroyed, and no one has died because of it."

Du Qi said again, "Friend, you are so clear about this matter. Do you live nearby?"

The man smiled and said, "If you want to know my origin, you can just ask me directly. Why do you need to beat around the bush?"

Du Qi also smiled and said, "Friend, I will ask you directly the moment you arrive on the ship. There is always a little suspicion of investigating the root. Since friend said so, I think you will not mind. Then, may I ask where you came from?"

The man still smiled and said, "I am an unaffiliated person in Eastern Sea City. I call myself Scholar Xiaofang. Xiaofang Island is very barren. Very few people know about it. I have been paying attention to this for sixteen years. Today is the day to resolve this matter. Thus, I rushed over from far away. Who would have thought that I would meet my little friend here? It is indeed a quick matter! "

Du Qi couldn't help but feel surprised when he heard this. It was such a coincidence. Why did he pay attention to this matter at exactly the same time as he was of the same age? Could it be that this matter was also related to him? Just as he was about to ask again, Lin Mu suddenly interrupted: "The banquet has already been prepared. If you want to take a seat now, please make a decision!"

Du Qi could only put his thoughts aside and said to Scholar Xiaofang, "We have killed a few Japanese pirates today and are preparing to celebrate a little. Friend, you happen to be here. How about inviting us to drink a cup of water?"

Scholar Xiaofang clapped and laughed, "What a coincidence that we are here. We are going to get a drink to celebrate!"

There were 33 tables in the celebration banquet. There were ten people at each table. Everyone on the boat had seats. They were arranged in the dining hall, the front and back deck, and the hall on the second floor.

As the boat was on the shore, there were seats on the front and back deck. Lin Mu canceled the rule that they would take turns eating, and everyone on board took their seats at the same time. Because of this, everyone couldn't help but cheer and the atmosphere was warm. The banquet continued for nearly an hour, and everyone ate and drank to their heart's content. They dispersed after they were satisfied.

Perhaps it was because of the emotional influence of the celebration banquet just now, or perhaps it still felt somewhat stuffy. Or perhaps it was because they were a little irritated after sailing for a day. After everyone had tidied up their cups and chairs, all of them gathered at the front and back of the deck, unable to bear to leave. Du Qi, Scholar Xiaofang, Yang Yinglong, and Lin Mu still returned to the balcony and sat down, drinking tea and chatting.

Steward Chen saw that Scholar Xiaofang had suddenly appeared, so he quickly took the opportunity to follow behind Yang Yinglong. He wanted to ask Chung Fangqing about the situation a few times, but because of the crowd, he did not say anything. Yang Yinglong suddenly said, "Steward Chen, I want to find a ferry to get off the boat. Steward Chen, do you want to come with me?"
