Divine King of Honour

Soon, the next morning arrived.

Xu Nian arrived early at the designated port the old man had mentioned to him the day before.

At this moment, the early morning crowd was still sparse.

Xu Nian caught sight of the majestic ship docked at the port in just one glance.

The ship wasn't particularly huge, but it was exceedingly luxurious.

The ship was made entirely of metal and was painted a deep black.

At a glance, it gave off an impression of being indestructible.

The surface of the ship was engraved with powerful array patterns, which could offer a robust defense.

They could withstand the collision with a mighty undersea Demon Beast.

"Young Master, you've arrived?" Just as Xu Nian approached the port,

A graceful figure appeared before him.

Xu Nian was startled, not expecting her to show up here.

That's right, the owner of this graceful figure was the young woman Xu Nian had encountered at the East Sea Commerce the day before.

"You're also going with us to Penglai?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.

He had sensed the day before that this young woman's status in the commerce was not low,

and now seeing her here, he was quite astonished.

"Yes, Young Master. I will be serving as your maid on this journey; my name is Shadow, but you can call me Little Ying," the young woman said with a smile.

"Maid? A Battle General Level maid?" Xu Nian couldn't help but laugh.

The young woman was taken aback.

She obviously hadn't expected Xu Nian to see through her cultivation.

However, she gave a slight smile and said to Xu Nian, "Young Master is indeed discerning. You're right; I'm not a true maid. I am the daughter of the president of the East Sea Commerce. This time at the East Sea Commerce was merely for training, and the reason I took on the task to serve as your maid is actually a temporary decision I made out of curiosity about you."

"Oh? What's so curious about me?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.

He hadn't expected this Shadow to be the daughter of the East Sea Commerce.

No wonder her demeanor and speech had been so extraordinary.

So, she was here for training.

"Because you come from the Divine River Palace," Shadow pondered before speaking.

"What about the Divine River Palace?" Xu Nian grew even more curious.

Hearing Xu Nian's question, for a moment, Shadow seemed to shy away,

which only added to Xu Nian's confusion.

"Young Master, do you know Hall Master Xu Nian from the Divine River Palace? I heard that before he was even twenty, he had reached the Battle Emperor Level. Is that true?" Shadow finally couldn't help but ask,

looking at Xu Nian with an expectant expression.

At that moment, Xu Nian found himself between laughter and tears.

So this young woman was here because of him.

"I don't know him. I just know about a minor Elder's son from the Divine River Palace. I've never met someone at the level of Hall Master. Besides, the Hall Master is elusive, like the Divine Dragon; meeting him is far too difficult," Xu Nian shook his head and said.

"That's true!" Seeing Xu Nian shake his head, Shadow's face immediately revealed a look of disappointment.

Xu Nian, seeing her disappointed expression, found it even more amusing inside.

"Why are you so interested in our Hall Master?" Xu Nian asked again.

"Don't you think he's remarkable? Before the age of twenty, to reach the Emperor Level, without fearing the slightest from the Imperial Family and I've heard he dared to slay the Crown Prince in the Imperial Capital for his woman. Such a heroic act; isn't that deserving of admiration? I'm sure he's a man of great passion and loyalty," Shadow said excitedly, her eyes shimmering with admiration.

Clearly, she had long admired Xu Nian.

Xu Nian was visibly taken aback by this revelation.

He hadn't expected to have an admirer in East Sea City.

"Perhaps he's not as good as you think? He's just a mortal, and his background is rather humble," Xu Nian ventured to say.

"What does that matter? One's origin doesn't signify anything. Moreover, the humbler his origins, the more his achievements show his strength and hard work. This makes him even more admirable. How can those geniuses who rise through their families be compared with him?" Shadow responded.

Xu Nian gave a slight smile.

I never expected Shadow to be so considerate.

This unexpectedly gave Xu Nian quite a good impression of Shadow.

Of course, this good feeling was merely platonic, with no other intentions involved.

"By the way, Young Master, I still don't know your name?" Shadow suddenly asked.

"Uh, my name is Lin Yu." Xu Nian considered it and decided it was better to conceal his real name.

His name was, after all, too well-known presently.

"Please board the ship, Young Master Lin Yu!" Shadow said to Xu Nian.

Xu Nian nodded and then prepared to walk towards the huge ship.

"Buzz!"

However, before Xu Nian could step away,

he sensed a fluctuation coming from behind him.

An invisible resistance was blocking Xu Nian's way.

Xu Nian frowned and turned to look behind him.

He saw five people dressed in white garments approaching from afar.

The fluctuation was emanating from one of the young men.

It was clear that he was the one who took action to stop Xu Nian's progress.

This young man appeared to be only in his mid to late twenties, but his cultivation was not weak; he had already reached Five Star Battle Saint level.

Accompanying him were two other young men and a woman, as well as an Elder.

These two young men looked only slightly older than the first, but their cultivation levels were higher than that of the Five Star Battle Saint.

One was a Seven-star Battle Saint, while the other had reached the peak of the Battle Saint Realm.

The beautiful woman's cultivation was also formidable, at the realm of an Eight-star Battle Saint.

As for the Elder, his cultivation was even higher, having reached the realm of a Three-star Battle Emperor.

Four Battle Saints and one Battle Emperor, indeed a substantial force.

It was obvious that they were the people from Penglai the Elder had mentioned.

The strength of a Five Star Battle Saint naturally could not block Xu Nian.

Nevertheless, Xu Nian didn't forcibly break through.

This time, he was seeking medicine in Penglai, and unless absolutely necessary, he still preferred to avoid conflict with Penglai's people.

The five individuals from Penglai passed Xu Nian directly.

The Elder and the two leading young men didn't even glance at Xu Nian.

The young and beautiful woman gave Xu Nian a look, then directly ignored him.

Only the Five Star Battle Saint who had made a move against Xu Nian cast a disdainful eye towards him.

But soon, his gaze was attracted to Shadow by Xu Nian's side, carrying a hint of mockery within.

Xu Nian didn't mind this.

The cultivation levels of those people from Penglai posed no threat to him whatsoever.

If they truly provoked him, he wouldn't mind sending them to King Yan.

It was Shadow, on the other hand, who might face some trouble.

It was evident that the Five Star Battle Saint youth had set his sights on Shadow.

Although Xu Nian had no particular feelings for Shadow, he couldn't just stand by and watch Shadow be mistreated without intervening.

He truly couldn't do it.

"You'd best not board the ship. I sense that one of those guys has taken a fancy to you," Xu Nian said to Shadow.

Shadow was stunned, not expecting the youth in front of her to suddenly say something like this.

"It won't happen, Penglai has its own rules, they won't make a move on me without reason," Shadow nevertheless refused and said.

Hearing this, Xu Nian didn't know what else to say.

He could only hope that Shadow was right.
