He was about to go back and continue practicing when a figure suddenly stopped in front of him and whispered: "Fellow Daoist Wei, please take a step to speak."
The person who spoke was slender, and his blue silk double-breasted robe set off his bookish temperament, but his eyes were very determined.
"Do you know me?" Wei Ci was very confused.
He really didn't know this person.
"I'm Dongfang Ming, from Yunliu, Jidao Academy. I'm here to invite fellow Taoists to disembark and explore together!" Dongfang Ming said.
"Sorry, not interested."
Dongfang Ming looked at him with some surprise: "There are not many opportunities for the ferry to stop midway. This is already a deep sea that is difficult for humans to set foot on. Are you not at all curious about the strange beasts in the sea?"
Wei Ci was about to refuse again, but there was a slight chill in his chest.
The coolness came from Xiao Yin, who had been dormant on his chest for a long time without moving. Wei Ci was a little surprised. There was a faint excitement in the thoughts conveyed by the little snake to him, and that excitement seemed to be related to the sea outside the ferry.
"There are so many powerful people on this ferry. Why did Brother Dongfang invite me?"
This is Wei Ci's doubt.
Dongfang Ming heard this and said: "To be honest, not long ago, when fellow Taoist Wei and Chu Li had a brief fight outside the city, I happened to see that fellow Taoist's archery skills were truly extraordinary. It was rare for the ferry to stop at this moment, so why not take the opportunity to explore?
"
"It's not impossible, but... just the two of us?"
"More people cannot solve the problem, but are a burden. Fellow Taoist, have you agreed?" Dongfang Ming was a little surprised. He thought Wei Ci would refuse again, but he didn't expect that he agreed.
He was telling the truth. He happened to be passing by when Wei Ci and Huan Zhang had a brief fierce fight in that dense forest.
Whether it was Wei Ci's casual archery skills that defeated the enemy with one strike, or his calm eyes throughout the whole process, they all made him curious and admired.
Moreover, from Wei Ci's words and deeds, what he felt was not the cunning and smoothness of ordinary cultivators, but like himself, he had the calmness of a family member and a kind of sincerity in his bones.
This was the reason why he was willing to invite Wei Ci to explore together.
Wei Ci didn't think that much. The reason why he changed his decision was partly because of Xiao Yin, and partly because of Dongfang Ming's identity.
Yunliu and Jidao Academy were two names he was not unfamiliar with.
The former is where he is planning to go, and the latter has seen relevant information many times from other people's mouths and some classics.
"Brother Dongfang Ming, I am planning to go to Yunliu. Can you introduce me to the overall situation there?" Wei Ci asked as he thought of it, following Dongfang Ming.
The two of them walked one behind the other and soon came to the side of the ship, where there were several hanging ladders to get off the ship.
Dongfang Ming grabbed the hanging ladder and took the lead to fall. As he landed, he raised his head and looked at Wei Ci: "Brother Wei, are you referring to the situation of the major forces?"
"About that, including some important families and powerful people." Wei Ci nodded and added.
"Then let me introduce it to Brother Wei. There are many sects inside and outside Yunliu City, and there are many large and small forces.
"Of course, when it comes to power, the most prestigious and powerful one in the entire Yunliu is the Martial Arts Alliance, followed by the three major trade unions and the five major families, and then the other ordinary sects and forces..."
The Haiyuan City Martial Arts Alliance is quite authentic. While opening up ferry access, it has also prepared some ordinary boats for practitioners.
As free boats, their quality is very average and the space is only enough for up to 4 people to ride at the same time.
