Chapter 144 The Ship of Joy (8000)

As Ye Yu woke up, the memory of the past echoed in her mind. She remembered the scene of being broken by Xu Bai, and the fear became stronger.

Then, the pain came like the second runner who ran slower, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Pain..." Ye Yu couldn't help shouting.

The head of the Ye family looked at his family members, and there was reluctance in his eyes, but then there was determination. The reluctance that appeared at the beginning had gone with the wind: "You answer the questions honestly, I can plead with Lord Xu on your behalf and give you a quick death."

Ye Yu was slightly stunned. The pain that had just hit her whole body seemed to slow down for a moment. Then she turned her eyes and looked at Xu Bai's position, revealing a sad smile: "Happy... When I planned to do this, I had already thought about the result. Lord Xu, you can ask whatever you want."

Failure is a capital crime. There is no other way to choose. There is no other way except death.

Ye Yu thought that she should regret it, but if she didn't do it, she would regret it even more. Compared with the long-term torture, she hoped to have a quick death.

"Tell me everything you know. For the sake of your family master, I can let you die quickly." Xu Bai said indifferently.

She must die.

Even after going through so many things, it still couldn't change the fact that Xu Bai was ruthless.

If she had compassion just because she was a woman, then the consequence would definitely be a disaster and harm herself.

"The person who asked me to do these things was a demon master. He had a snake wrapped around his waist. It was a black and white snake, a demon." Ye Yu said: "He should be a demon master of the control type. The voice of the snake has the ability to seduce. To be precise, it should not be called seduce, but it can magnify a person's deep desires."

She thought carefully, thinking about the first time she saw that person and everything that happened afterwards. The only doubt was on the black and white snake.

At the end, when she decided to assassinate Kong Xu, she felt as if something was controlling her mind. Now that she thought about it carefully, it was her inner desire that was magnified.

"Black and white snake?"

Xu Bai was fine, but when Kong Xu heard this, he showed a look of doubt on his face, as if a good thing was shrouded in a layer of fog.

"Sir Xu, this person is on the list." Kong Xu said: "The evil demon master, the second-grade demon master, is good at bewitching people, magnifying people's desires, and turning them into slaves. He has been wanted by the Heavenly Supervisor of the Great Chu State."

"Evil demon master?" Xu Bai touched his chin and said: "Is this what you are talking about a profession?"

"It's not a profession. This is a title given by people in the world. These titles are good and bad, such as Sir Xu..." Kong Xu suddenly closed his mouth halfway through his words, knowing that he seemed to have said too much.

This sentence seemed to have suddenly distorted the entire topic, and Xu Bai's interest was instantly aroused.

What?

I also have a title. What's going on? How come I've never heard of it?

Xu Bai asked, "You just said I have a title. What is my title?"

Kong Xu was asked this question, and his fluency just now disappeared instantly. He became hesitant, as if he had something to say, but he didn't dare to say it out loud: "Master Xu, let's talk about business. We'll talk about the title later."

"No!" Xu Bai found the blind spot: "It's just a matter of one sentence, and it won't delay much. Tell me, what is my title?"

In this world, once you make a name for yourself, you will naturally have a title, and this title is not given to yourself.

If you can give yourself a title, it would be too low-class, and it would not sound good to say it out.

So these titles are all given by people in the world. Over time, they are passed down and gradually used.

There are good ones and bad ones, and you can naturally tell them at a glance.

For example, the evil demon master, you can tell that he is a villain without any evil deeds.

"I guess with my personality charm, the title I get must be awesome." Xu Bai said slowly.

Kong Xu had gritted his teeth and was going to say it all at once, but when he heard Xu Bai add this sentence, he was stunned.

"Master Xu guessed right, it is indeed awesome, but this title, there will be plenty of opportunities to understand it in the future, let's..."

He still wanted to fool around, in short, this sentence couldn't come out of his mouth.

Xu Bai also saw something unusual in Kong Xu's expression, his face darkened: "Isn't it not good?"

Kong Xu heard this and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, it's especially good, but it's a bit bloody, there are two girls here, it's not good to say it."

Xu Bai's mouth twitched slightly.

Bloody?

How could I, a dignified man, be related to blood?

Too dirty!

Seeing that Kong Xu didn't dare to speak out, Ye Zi couldn't help but pursed her plump lips, smiled, leaned close to Xu Bai's ear, used her hand as a megaphone, and whispered...

After listening to Ye Zi's words, Xu Bai's eyes suddenly widened, and he held the black knife Bai Lie's hand even tighter.

"Who spread it first?"

His voice was murderous, just like snowflakes in the cold winter, falling on the ground, adding a layer of frost to the earth.

Kong Xu smiled bitterly and said, "Master Xu, this title came out naturally, and we don't know who said it first."

Xu Bai took a deep breath and said, "Blood Slaughterer, damn, this name is not poetic at all, and it is particularly uncultured. If I know who was the first to take it, I will twist his head off."

Everyone: "..."

At this moment, Xu Bai's momentum is really matched with this title.

"Sir, having a title is actually a recognition of you in the world. This is a good thing, proving that your strength can no longer be underestimated." Ye Zi gently pressed Xu Bai's shoulders to relax Xu Bai.

Speaking of talking, Ye Zi is still good at talking. In a few words, Xu Bai felt a little more comfortable.

"Hurry up and have a quick conversation." Ye Yu also took this opportunity to say, "I have said what I should say. I don't know anything else. I really don't know anything."

She was still suffering from the pain of her limbs being broken, so she had no choice but to say it.

If they continue to talk like this, it will probably take a long time, so it's better to have a quick conversation.

As she said this, Ye Yu closed her eyes.

Before Xu Bai made a move, the Ye family member next to him turned around and said to Xu Bai.

"Master Xu, she is from my Ye family. I want to send her off for the last time. Is that okay?"

This sentence was well-reasoned and emotional.

Xu Bai looked at the head of the Ye family with interest, stretched out his right hand, and a paper crane flew out, landed on Ye Yu's head, and turned into ashes.

After searching for the traces to no avail, he said, "Master Ye is indeed a businessman, and he is very calculating. OK, go ahead."

What Master Ye said just now was actually to clear her suspicion and even to win a good reputation for herself. After all, she was able to kill her relatives for the sake of justice, and there was nothing to say if she was caught outside.

"Thank you, Lord Xu."

Master Ye walked in front of Ye Yu and raised her hand to prepare to take action.

Ye Yu's eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened, and looked at Master Ye, saying, "Master, I am a sinner myself, but I now understand that there is a problem with the development model of the family. If this continues, it will always be dependent."

"This is not a problem you should worry about. Let's go." Master Ye shook his head and slapped Ye Yu on the top of his head.

The next moment, Ye Yu's head tilted and lost his breath.

Master Ye looked at Ye Yu's body and then looked at Xu Bai.

Of course, she knew that the current situation was always dependent on others.

But she has found a new countermeasure now. As long as Xu Bai arrives in the capital, Ye Zi can integrate the music and reach the second-grade Yin Xian Qu, which will change the situation.

Therefore, all her treasures are on Xu Bai.

"I will go with Lord Xu to the Le Shui Festival in three days." The head of the Ye family said, "It is also to show my loyalty."

Xu Bai nodded and did not refuse.

One more person means one more force, so of course he would not refuse foolishly.

"My injury should be healed in three days, and I will go with Lord Xu at that time." Kong Xu followed.

Xu Bai continued to nod.

Kong Xu's fortune-telling ability is quite good. After his injury is healed, he will tell a fortune first, and then go to see the so-called Le Shui Festival.

Now, all the things have been solved, and Xu Bai did not stay. He still had to hurry up to go back to practice Yin Xian Qu, so he took Ye Zi and the fourth-grade puppet away.

In three days, he estimated that he should be able to practice the whole book of skills in his hand, after all, he had practiced some before.

After returning to the room, Ye Zi concentrated on making the bed for Xu Bai, while Xu Bai was thinking while looking at the progress bar in his hand.

…

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

In Xu Bai's room, he was concentrating on reading the book in his hand. The progress bar was slowly growing, and there was only a little bit left before it was completed.

Ye Zi stood by and didn't say anything.

After about an incense stick of time, the progress bar in front of him finally reached completion.

Light blue smoke appeared, and then it gathered into a line of text in the air and appeared in front of Xu Bai.

[You observe Yin Xian Qu and comprehend Yin Xian Qu. ]

The text is simple. After it appears, it turns into nothingness, and then a piece of information drills into his mind.

But these information only drilled halfway, and then stopped, and new light blue smoke appeared.

[Found a fusion option, fusion in progress...]

[Yin Xian Qu + Inverted Zi Xiao Gang Feng Yin Yang Chaos = Inverted Zi Xiao Gang Feng Yin Yang Qu. ]

[Fusion successful. 】

……

Xu Bai's mouth twitched slightly.

This golden finger is really bad. They didn't even choose a good name, and just changed a word at random.

But fortunately, at least it has been changed, unlike before when it was not changed at all.

Xu Baisheng stretched his body lazily, handed the Yin Xian Qu to Ye Zi, and said, "You keep it and learn it slowly."

As he said that, he watched the light blue text in front of him turn into information again and enter his mind, and then the true energy in his body increased again.

The latest panel appeared.

[Name: Xu Bai. ]

[Realm: Third-grade Wanderer. ]

[Five Styles of Yi Dao (Level 7): Full Level. ]

[Inverted Purple Sky Gangfeng Yin Yang Qu (Level 7.5): Full Level. ]

[Returning Wind and Flowing Snow (Level 5): Full Level. ]

[Xingpo Sanzhuan (Level 5): Full Level. ]

[Dou Zhuan Xing Yi (Level 4): Full Level. ]

[Vajra Heart Demon Body (Level 4); Full Level. ]

[True Solution of Hundred Poisons (Level 3): Full Level. 】

【Mechanical Puppetry (Level 6): Full Level. 】

【Immortal Body (Remnant) (Level 5): Full Level. 】

【Comprehension: Full Level. 】

…

Xu Bai: “…”

Wow, this long-lost 0.5 level has appeared again.

This also happened to give him a proof that the current technique is already very good among them. After all, it is only Level 7.5 after integrating a Level 6.

Although there is no significant improvement, many changes have taken place in his inner self.

In his mind, the soul has grown stronger. At the same time, Xu Bai can feel that his perception of the surroundings has become stronger. If someone is hiding around, he can easily find it.

Not only that.

The most important thing is that he knows Ye Zi's ability.

With a slight movement of his fingers, he pulled out the black knife Bai Lie from his waist.

The next moment, the black knife Bai Lie turned into fragments all over the sky.

These fragments were waved in the air, performing the five styles of Yi Dao.

Moreover, the fragments that were cast out, with bursts of melodious sounds, could not only accelerate the fragments, but also affect the opponent.

Ye Zi covered her mouth with her hands, her face full of surprise.

Young Master... seems to have a better attainment in the spirit than her.

"Young Master, are you one of those reincarnated old monsters? I heard that some old monsters can be reincarnated..." Ye Zi muttered in a low voice.

But before she finished speaking, her head was knocked by Xu Bai.

Ye Zi covered her head, her face full of grievance.

"What old monster, is there anyone who says this about your young master?" Xu Bai smiled.

He was also very happy to get compensation in terms of spirit.

Ye Zi rolled her eyes and pouted: "Young Master, is Ye Zi useless..."

She suddenly felt that she seemed to have lost the characteristic of a tool person.

"It's useful." Xu Bai said: "You play, plus my fragments play, the superposition effect can be stronger."

Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

As long as it was useful, she was afraid that she would not be able to help Xu Bai in any way.

"Okay, we can leave now." Xu Bai stood up and walked to the door.

Since the progress bar has been completed and the time has come, then next, let's go and see what the other party is up to.

Ye Zi ran to the door in a few quick steps, opened the door, and followed Xu Bai out.

...

Front yard.

Kong Xu and the head of the Ye family have been waiting there for a long time. Old Sun has also recovered a lot during this period and is standing in the yard waiting.

When they saw Xu Bai coming, they all greeted him.

"From now on, you can't call me the Blood Slaughterer. Do you understand?" Xu Bai said very solemnly.

"I understand, I understand." Everyone nodded repeatedly, indicating that they would never mention this title.

Xu Bai nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, the head of the Ye family spoke.

"Lord Xu, the Water Festival starts in the evening. Shall we go there now?"

The Water Festival is an annual festival in Fengling Mansion.

As Fengling Mansion advocates music, music is integrated into their daily life. From dignitaries to peddlers, everyone knows a little bit, and even in daily life, many people are intoxicated by it.

Once there are many people, some things will become a festival to celebrate.

Every time the Water Festival comes, there will be a lot of music boats on the Xunle River.

The so-called music boat is actually a large ship, but because of this festival, it has such a nickname.

On the music boat, people sing and dance and enjoy themselves.

Not only dignitaries, but also ordinary people will board the music boat on this day to exchange music, or listen to beautiful music.

This is a matter that is appreciated by both the elite and the masses. It has been passed on in Fengling Mansion, and even many outsiders linger here.

"Of course, we will go now." Xu Bai said.

There's nothing to do here, so it's better to go over there early and see if anything is happening there.

The head of the Ye family understood, nodded, and stopped talking.

Xu Bai looked at Kong Xu and asked, "By the way, can you calculate anything?"

Kong Xu turned around and said, "Master Xu, I have tried it just now. It is difficult to calculate without a basis. Maybe I can find some clues tonight and figure it out."

Xu Bai pondered for a moment.

Maybe there will be some discoveries tonight. When there are discoveries, let Kong Xu calculate it again to see if he can figure out anything.

"Let's go." Xu Bai thought of this and said.

Next, the head of the Ye family took the lead and began to rush towards Xunle River.

...

The Ye family was still some distance away from Xunle River. They walked for about half an hour before reaching their destination.

This river is very large and wide, and at this moment, the river surface that was rarely visited by people is already full of various boats.

Large boats can accommodate hundreds of people, and small boats can accommodate five or six people.

People can choose to go to a large boat to join the fun, or go to a small boat to enjoy the quiet.

Not only that, the riverside is crowded with people, and many people have arrived in advance.

People are also decorating those large and small boats.

Various exquisitely shaped lanterns are hung on them, and even couplets are posted or colorful strips are pulled.

A feeling of joy and happiness.

"Sir, that is the largest music boat, the Zhile Boat." Ye Zi, with a veil on her face, stretched out her fair and slender fingers and pointed in a direction.

Xu Bai looked in the direction Ye Zi pointed and saw a boat that could accommodate hundreds of people moored in the center of the river.

In the center of the boat, there was a plaque with the three words "Zhile Boat" written on it.

"Who built such a big boat?" Xu Bai narrowed his eyes, looked back and forth, and asked.

"It's the Lin family, the first family in Fengling Mansion." Ye Zi explained: "It is said that their family has intersections with many dignitaries in the capital. The Lin family is very good at war drums. The head of the family has reached the third-grade musician and is a drummer of the musician branch." Xu Bai nodded after hearing this. He just listened to these things as news. As for other things, he was not interested. Now he was only interested in those demon masters. "By the way." Xu Bai seemed to think of something and asked: "Why haven't I seen you use musical instruments?" He suddenly remembered that the Ye family was also a branch of musicians. Why had he never seen Ye Zi use musical instruments? He only saw Ye Zi playing with silk threads made of white light. Now, Xu Bai's Yinxianqu has been perfected, and naturally he also understands that if there is a musical instrument, the power will be doubled. "Sir, the musical instrument methods of the Ye family are all in the Yinxianqu in the second volume, so we don't know what to use." Ye Zi said. The second volume has been lost, so of course they can't find it, so they can only use the methods in the first volume. Xu Bai hummed, said no more, and focused on the river.

At this moment, there were more and more people, and as time went by, the sun gradually went down.

It was getting darker, but it was as bright as day here.

Various lanterns were hung high, and even on both sides of the Xunle River, there were lanterns hung side by side, and the fire-like light illuminated the river surface.

Such a grand event naturally needs someone to host it.

Not long after, in Xu Bai's sight, a middle-aged man walked out of the largest Zhile boat.

This man was dressed in silk and satin, looking rich and powerful, with a kind smile on his face, and looked very kind.

When this man came out, the lively scene around him paused for a moment, and everyone's eyes followed the figure of this man and looked over.

"Everyone, whether you are a local or a foreigner, you are all welcome to participate in this annual event of Fengling Mansion." The middle-aged man in silk and satin laughed and said, "I, Lin Yong, am the head of the Lin family. I am here to host this event. Now, please invite our governor."

There were two servants around, holding a red cloth and standing on both sides of the boat.

The red cloth was pulled straight, and behind the red cloth, the governor of Fengling Mansion came up in his official uniform, holding a pair of scissors in his right hand.

According to the routine, a few polite words were said.

At this time, the crowd was already very excited. After all, they could only participate once a year, so of course they were very excited.

"Okay, I see that everyone is already very excited, so I will announce that the Water Festival has begun."

The governor cut the red cloth with scissors, and the next moment, the Water Festival officially began.

When the red cloth was cut, cheers came one after another, and all kinds of noisy sounds came out one after another.

The Water Festival has begun.

"Sir, if you want to go to the largest Zhile ship, you have to pass that small boat first." Ye Zi pointed to the side of the Zhile ship.

Not far from the Zhile ship, there is a boat that can only accommodate dozens of people. People are getting on and off one after another.

"Interesting." Xu Bai smiled and said, "It seems that you have to pass a test before you can get on. What is the test, music?"

Ye Zi said softly, "Sir, you guessed right, of course you have to test music."

At this time, the head of the Ye family said: "Ye Zi and I should have no problem. Master Xu, Master Kong Xu and Master Sun, please be our servants for the time being, so that you have an excuse to go up."

Those who can pass the test are naturally dignitaries. Of course, they will bring servants with them, and no one will stop them.

Xu Bai thought for a moment and nodded.

In fact, for him, the music test is no problem, after all, Lian Yin Xian Qu has reached the maximum level.

But at this time, it is better to be a little low-key.

Lian Xu Bai has no problem, Kong Xu naturally has no problem.

Everything was arranged, and everyone took a small boat and headed towards the boat next to Zhile Boat.

On the way, Xu Bai's soul was sensing the changes around him, but nothing happened.

There was no abnormality, and there were no sneaky demon masters, as if nothing had happened.

But the words of the centipede seemed to be still in his ears, and something important would definitely happen tonight.

The boat was getting closer and closer to the ship, and in the blink of an eye, it had arrived.

When Xu Bai stepped in, he found that the surroundings were already crowded. There was a lamp in every place of the ship.

There was a piece of paper in the lamp holder of each lamp.

There were various questions written on the paper.

"Sir, if you want to answer the questions, just take those questions to the servants on the ship and tell them the answers. As for whether they are correct, the servants on the ship have memorized them." Ye Zi came to Xu Bai and whispered.

Xu Bai shook his head and said, "How can music be summarized with just one answer?"

Ye Zi said, "There is no way, and this is the only way."

Xu Bai thought for a moment and thought to himself that it was indeed the case.

If you really want to achieve perfection, it will cost too much manpower and material resources, and it is very difficult.

After all, how can these servants understand the profound music?

If we ask those who understand music to be the judges, there are too few of them. There are so many people here, and the scene will be particularly chaotic.

Soon, the head of the Ye family found the questions, walked to a servant, answered them one by one, and passed the test smoothly.

After all, he is also a Fenglingfu family. The identity of the head of the Ye family is naturally known to many people, and the surroundings cast their eyes from time to time.

Under the guidance of the servants, Xu Bai and others came to the junction of the small boat and the big ship.

There is an upward staircase at the junction, and you can board the Zhile ship by following this staircase.

Xu Bai was about to step forward, but he didn't expect that before he took two steps, a voice came from the surroundings.

"Head of the Ye family, you brought enough servants today."

Xu Bai frowned slightly when he heard the words, and turned his head to look in the direction of the voice.

A woman in silk walked slowly over, with her hair piled high and a jade hairpin inserted on it.

When the head of the Ye family saw this woman, his face instantly became gloomy.

She looked at Xu Bai's face and didn't plan to say more to this woman, so she wanted to take Xu Bai up.

The woman in silk had no intention of letting the head of the Ye family go. She walked in front of the head of the Ye family in two steps, blocked the middle, raised her right hand, and pointed at Ye Zi with an elegant gesture.

"I heard that Ye Zi from your Ye family is back, why did you bring her on board? People like this who don't care about family interests should be driven off."

Ye Zi: "..."

To be honest, she thought of other situations, but she didn't expect that it was because of her.

The head of the Ye family gritted his teeth and approached the head of the Liu family, saying, "I advise you to get out of the way quickly."

If it were any other time, the head of the Ye family would really have to say something here, but now it's different, and there is Xu Bai following behind him.

If Xu Bai can't get on board because of this, then when the blame is laid, no one will be able to bear the consequences.

The head of the Liu family didn't expect that the head of the Ye family would be in this state. She came here to say a few words casually and humiliate the head of the Ye family. After all, there are a lot of grievances between the two families.

As for what the grudge was, the things between these families were very complicated.

She just heard that Ye Zi, who had escaped, was back, so she ran over to have some fun.

But she didn't expect that she would get such an answer.

As the head of the family, they naturally had some intelligence, so in an instant, the head of the Liu family seemed to have thought of something and looked at the man next to Ye Zi.

The next moment, the head of the Liu family raised his hand and pointed at Xu Bai, his face full of shock.

"Blood-slaughtering swordsman!"

This sentence was shocked, but no one could hear it clearly because of the noise around.

It's still the old saying, as a member of these big families, they naturally knew what Xu Bai looked like a long time ago.

Just now, the head of the Liu family didn't care about Xu Bai's situation, but now after seeing Xu Bai's appearance clearly, he was shocked.

When these four words came out, the head of the Liu family didn't think there was anything wrong, but the head of the Ye family already knew in his heart that this guy had completely offended Xu Bai.

As expected, Xu Bai's face suddenly sank.

Damn it.

You're still mentioning this title to me, right?

He looked at the head of the Liu family with cold eyes. If the current situation was not different, he would probably slap the head of the Liu family a few times.

The head of the Liu family quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing. After all, Xu Bai's face was there.

"Head of the Liu family, after tonight, I hope you still understand the meaning. You can see that Lord Xu is now on my side." Seeing the silly look of the Liu family, the head of the Ye family felt funny in his heart, so he went up to mock him.

Then, everyone left the silly head of the Liu family and walked towards the Zhile ship.

...

Xu Bai got on the Zhile ship and found that the ship was bigger than the one he had seen before.

Although it was big, not many people could get on, so it seemed unusually empty.

The crowd of people in groups of three or two were communicating with each other, and it was obvious that many people knew each other.

"Lord Xu, what should we do next?" Kong Xu asked quietly.

They had indeed come, but they had no plan for the next step. After all, everything seemed normal here.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and said, "Wait and see what happens. Before that, you need to get familiar with the situation here and walk around."

First get familiar with the situation here. As for the future, we need to see if anything unusual happens and then follow the clues to find out the cause.

Everyone nodded. Xu Bai was the backbone here. They followed Xu Bai's method and began to walk around on the ship.

This ship is divided into three floors in total, and they are now on the bottom floor.

And then, Xu Bai seemed to really underestimate his reputation in the world.

Most of those who can get on this ship are proficient in music, and those who can be proficient in music in Fengling Mansion are naturally dignitaries.

To be a dignitary, of course, they will also care about the changes in the surrounding situation, so they all know what Xu Bai looks like.

Then, before Xu Bai and his team walked hundreds of meters, he was surrounded by people around him.

"Meet Lord Xu."

Looking at the flattering expressions of these people, it seems that they are licking dogs, trying their best to curry favor with him.

Xu Bai suddenly felt that sometimes being a celebrity wasn't so good.
