The Otherworldly God

Chapter 384

Gongsun Sheng retracted his gaze, looked at Gongsun Shouli and asked: "Your friend? It seems he is also a Taoist priest, why don't you introduce him to me?"

Gongsun Shouli replied respectfully: "Father, we are just casual friends. The Taoist who was promoted recently is Le..."

Before Gongsun Shouli finished speaking, someone on the nearby boat shouted with disdain: "You brothers are really amazing. You are everywhere. Le Zheng Yuhua, Le Zheng Qiming, Le Zheng Shuiling."

Le Zheng Qiming had never seen him before, so he didn't recognize him. It can be seen that he was not familiar with him either, otherwise he would not have mistaken Le Zheng Shuiling for a man.

"Brother, do you...know him?"

"I've met him in the compound. He's the envoy from Fengwu City."

"Oh, that's him!"

"Yuhua meets senior."

Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zheng'an also hurriedly saluted him respectfully.

"Humph, why are you so respectful today? I think you can be arrogant because you had the head of the family and the master to protect you, right?"

When Le Zheng Qiming heard this, he was immediately furious, but he knew that this was not the time to vent his anger, so he could only hold it back and tried to respond in a calm tone: "Senior, I don't see you. Although Le Zheng Qiming is my name, we have never met before. Is there any misunderstanding?"

"You and I have certainly never met..."

Before he finished speaking, Le Zheng Qiming interrupted him, "As expected, I knew it, Senior must have recognized the wrong person. However, you came at the right time. We have been lost in the fog for many days. We are sleepy, tired and hungry. Can you let us go aboard to rest?"

"We are all equal, so we should not be rude. Senior, you must have important matters to attend to. How could you allow us to delay you? I'm sorry, senior. Please forgive my junior brother for speaking without restraint. We will leave now."

Le Zheng Yuhua and Le Zheng Qiming sang in unison and did not give the other a chance to interrupt. They did not want to conflict with them here, so they took the opportunity to leave.

Gongsun Sheng frowned slightly when he heard this, then smiled and said, "My name is Gongsun Sheng, nice to meet you three colleagues."

I thought I could just leave without any interaction, but I didn't expect Gongsun Sheng to speak after all, and other ships from Fengwu City also came over, forming an encirclement unknowingly. Whether it was intentional or unintentional is still unknown.

"Junior greets Patriarch Gongsun."

The three of them saluted respectfully, and after standing up, they just looked straight ahead, deliberately avoiding too much eye contact with Gongsun Sheng.

Gongsun Sheng had an inexplicable feeling for people who used swords, so at this moment he couldn't help but take a closer look at the sword behind Le Zheng Yuhua.

Even if Le Zheng Yuhua didn't look at him, he could feel his gaze. Fortunately, he was used to hiding the Heavenly Sword at ordinary times, so he was alert and tied the sword bag of the Heavenly Sword tightly.

The sword bag was sewn by Mu Xin himself using special materials. It is not only waterproof and fireproof, but can also seal the aura of the Heavenly Sword. So that when other Jiuli artifacts approach, the Heavenly Sword can sense them, but the other party may not be able to sense it.

Not only that, Mu Xin also prepared bags for Le Zheng Shuiling and Le Zheng Qiming to store the Jiuli artifacts. It was the first time for Le Zheng Qiming to use them today, and he couldn't help but feel fortunate and thank Le Zheng Shuiling for her coquettishness.

"No need to be polite. As this young master just said, you must be exhausted after being trapped in the fog for many days. If you don't mind, you can come aboard my boat and rest for a while."

Just now it was just an excuse made to anger that person, but now it was used as an excuse by Gongsun Sheng. Le Zheng Qiming couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"Master, you are so polite. I appreciate your kindness. Please forgive me for not staying here for long. The three of us came here to train under the order of our master. We wanted to find the legendary foggy island, but we were trapped in the fog for several days. I am afraid that our masters will wait for us in the inn for a long time and worry about us. We better go back quickly."

"Oh, who are your masters? Maybe we all know each other, and where do they live in the inn? I will arrange for someone to pass the message and invite them over, how about that?"

Le Zhengan's eyes narrowed slightly. He wanted to use this as an excuse, but he never expected that the other party would take the initiative and regard it as his excuse.

He felt a slight chill in his heart, but immediately adjusted his mindset and did not show the slightest bit of nervousness or uneasiness.

He took a deep breath and bowed to Gongsun Sheng again, his expression showing both humility and respect. His voice was neither hurried nor slow, steady and powerful: "Thank you for your kindness, Master. We, the younger generation, will always remember your kindness. However, I see that you all look hurried, as if you have important matters to attend to. How dare we delay your important matters because of our own small matters?"

At this point, he paused for a moment, quickly glanced at the boat in front of him, and said humbly, "If we ruin your plans, then I will be guilty of a great sin. Therefore, please allow us to leave first, so as not to cause trouble to you."

"You are……"

Le Zhengan immediately put on an apologetic look and bent his body even deeper, "Junior, I am sorry for being so rude. Junior... Nangong Lin, greets Patriarch Gongsun."

Le Zhengan gave him a look, and Le Zheng Yuhua and Le Zheng Qiming followed his example and saluted, "Junior Le Zheng Yuhua/Le Zheng Qiming, greets Patriarch Nangong."

The messenger who had just mistaken them for three people was actually a little angry when he heard this, thinking that it was Le Zheng Yuhua who made him recognize the wrong people.

"One Nangong and two Lezhengs, this is really unexpected."

Le Zhengan knew that he said this deliberately to stir up trouble. If it was not handled properly, Le Zheng and Nangong would be implicated.

"You don't know, my mother is my master, and she has some friendship with Qi Ming's parents... who are also his master and his mistress. We happened to meet, and I didn't expect that both of them had the same plan. After not seeing each other for many years, they wanted to see whose disciple was more powerful. They said that we should compete, and whoever can reach the other side first will be the winner.

How could this be possible? They were drunk and we couldn’t stop them. They threw the three of us onto the boat and even threatened us with their master’s orders. We had no choice but to go out to sea, thinking we could go back after they sobered up.

It was boring at sea, so we happened to talk about the Misty Island, and we hit it off and agreed to go look for it, but we ended up getting lost. How shameful! "

His words revealed a sense of sincerity and humility. The messenger didn't know whether it was true or not, and he lost the confidence to challenge him, "What a coincidence, there are so many coincidences."

"What a shame!"

He suddenly thought of something, which was also the reason why he suspected the people came here, so he deliberately said: "I thought the people from Le Zheng came here to look for their relatives?"

His eyes were as sharp as torches, staring closely at the expressions of the three people, trying to find any flaws.
