Chapter 555: King of Mediocrity, I Hope You Won’t Disappoint Me!
Lin Fengmian, You Yao, and Elder Ming arrived at the square where a huge black airship was parked in the center.
Due to the ample time and the large number of participants, the Junyan Imperial Palace had decided to use an airship instead of a teleportation array.
After all, most of the people had brought their retinues with them, and a long-distance teleportation would have been too expensive, even for the Junyan Imperial Palace.
Besides, the trip would allow these disciples, who rarely traveled far, to see more of the world. Why not?
The expedition was led by Zhou Yuanhua and Nangong Xiu. With such a lineup and the banner of the Heavenly Fiend Hall, this was the safest guarantee.
The top ten disciples of this competition were already waiting on the square, along with many family members seeing them off.
Only Lin Fengmian came alone. Although Consort Xuan wanted to see him off, Lin Fengmian had refused.
He really didn’t like the feeling of separation and tearful farewells.
When Lin Fengmian arrived, many people turned their eyes toward him, and Luo Jinfeng glared at him with anger.
Seeing Lin Fengmian unharmed, Ye Yingying snorted and stuck out her tongue at him.
Lin Fengmian didn’t react, but her father, the head of a small Ye family, was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
He quickly apologized to Lin Fengmian with a smile and pulled Ye Yingying aside, scolding her repeatedly, which made Lin Fengmian laugh.
Nangong Xiu glared at Lin Fengmian who had arrived late and said, “If you hadn’t shown up, I would have dragged you here!”
Lin Fengmian was speechless and muttered, “I’m not late, am I?”
Although he wasn’t late, everyone else had arrived too early, making him seem tardy.
“Alright, since everyone is here, let’s get ready to leave,” Zhou Yuanhua said, smoothing things over.
A moment later, the airship slowly rose into the sky, its massive body silently gliding through the clouds, turning into a streak of light as it flew away.
In the Heavenly Grace King’s Palace, Jun Qingsheng watched as the airship gradually disappeared into the distance, his expression complicated.
He asked in a deep voice, “How are things going?”
A young eunuch behind him, whose eyes flashed with an intelligence that didn’t match his appearance, nodded solemnly.
“Your Majesty, the message has been sent. The King of Mediocrity’s court should have received it by now.”
Upon hearing this, Jun Qingsheng’s lips curled into a deep smile of relief.
“Good!”
He had done all he could. The rest was up to fate!
King of Mediocrity, I hope you won’t disappoint me!
On the airship of the Junyan Imperial Palace.
Lin Fengmian stood on the deck with his hands behind his back, lost in thought, gazing at the clouds passing by.
The last time he had gone to see Yunshang, he had been interrupted by the turmoil of Zhenyuan and the Heavenly Fiend Sovereign.
This time, he should be able to see Yunshang, right?
The girl who had followed him a thousand years ago had now become someone he could hardly meet.
Ah, how fate played with people!
The journey to Junlin City was expected to take six days, longer than the last time he had taken the Flowing Cloud Sect’s airship.
After all, last time he had been teleported to Chongmeng City by a spatial rift, cutting the journey in half.
Lin Fengmian was in a complicated mood, busy lamenting the passage of time, when someone unwelcome approached.
“Jun Wuxie, I challenge you to a duel!”
Upon hearing this voice, Lin Fengmian turned to see Luo Jinfeng, who was as stubborn as a piece of sticky plaster, and sighed.
“Luo Jinfeng, Senior Sister Chen doesn’t care about you at all. What gives you the right to challenge me?”
Luo Jinfeng’s anger faltered, but he gritted his teeth and said, “You let your servants insult me. I want to settle the score! Do you dare to accept my challenge?”
With the elders of the Junyan Imperial Palace on the ship, he believed that even if Lin Fengmian had his servants intervene, the elders wouldn’t stand by and do nothing.
Many people turned to watch, and Ye Yingying, never one to miss an opportunity for drama, jumped onto the railing and started eating pills like candy.
Lin Fengmian looked up at Xu Zhichang, who was watching intently from above, and smiled slightly.
He’s learned to borrow power, a bit of progress, but not much!
His eyes were cold, but he smiled brightly. “Luo Jinfeng, since you want to die, I’ll oblige you!”
Although he didn’t care about such a clown, it was still annoying to have him constantly jumping around.
Luo Jinfeng was delighted, but before he could react, a shadow flashed in front of his eyes.
He quickly drew his sword, but the blade seemed to be welded to its sheath, refusing to budge.
Lin Fengmian’s folding fan pressed down on the hilt, and he said with a playful smile, “Do you think you’re worthy of drawing a sword in front of me?”
Luo Jinfeng was horrified. Before he could react, Lin Fengmian spun around and a whip-like kick flashed by.
Luo Jinfeng felt as if he had been hit by a prehistoric beast, and was sent flying.
The same stance, the same single kick, the same result.
But this time, Lin Fengmian didn’t even use the Overlapping Karmic Flames, yet Luo Jinfeng was defeated even more quickly and utterly.
The only difference was that this time, Lin Fengmian stepped on Luo Jinfeng’s chest and looked down at him.
“Luo Jinfeng, you have some talent, but the world is never short of geniuses. Dead geniuses are worth even less.”
He snapped open his folding fan and said nonchalantly, “If you provoke me again, I won’t mind spending a little time sending you on your way!”
With that, he turned and walked away without looking back, even giving Xu Zhichang on the observation deck a bright smile.
Luo Xue couldn’t help but laugh. “Why do you still have enemies everywhere?”
Lin Fengmian chuckled. “What kind of enemy is that? Just a clown.”
Luo Jinfeng watched Lin Fengmian’s retreating figure and spat out a mouthful of blood, his spirit completely broken.
He had lost again, this time to a spoiled second-generation noble at the Foundation Establishment Realm, the very type of person he despised most!
The onlookers, who had expected a fierce battle, were stunned by the one-sided outcome.
So not only is he good at dealing with demonic beasts, he’s even more effortless when dealing with cultivators!
With his powerful strength and graceful demeanor, many women on the ship couldn’t help but feel their hearts flutter.
They suddenly realized that if one ignored his lifestyle, this playboy might actually be a good match.
With his status, talent, strength, and handsome appearance, he was the perfect dream lover!
Lin Fengmian looked at Ye Yingying, who was gaping with her small cherry mouth, and smiled. “Little bean sprout, what are you staring at? Keep looking and I’ll take you back to serve me.”
This little girl had betrayed him, and he hadn’t even settled the score with her yet!
Ye Yingying was so angry that she bit down on her pill, crushing it. She felt ashamed of her earlier thoughts.
This guy was just a scoundrel who relied on his family’s power to bully others!
Lin Fengmian ignored them and returned to his cabin. You Yao and Elder Ming were in the next cabin.
Lin Fengmian looked around the cabin and found that although it was small, it had everything he needed.
It was far better than the cabins he had stayed in during his previous journeys, and he couldn’t help but sigh.
Strength, power, and wealth—they’re all good things!
Luo Xue thought for a moment and said, “Since things are settled here, I’ll go back to my side tonight to check on things. Be careful.”
Although Lin Fengmian was reluctant to part with Luo Xue, he was also worried about her body being left unattended, so he nodded.
“Alright. If everything is fine on your side, come back. We’ll find Yunshang together!”
Luo Xue nodded. She really wanted to go with Lin Fengmian to find Jun Yunshang.
After all, as a Saint and a Emperor, she must know things that outsiders didn’t, especially since Zhenyuan was in her hands.
