"It’s okay," Mo Xinyi shook her head slightly and said, "Just tossing and turning at night, restless and sleepless.
I wanted to chat with Young Master Xu."
"Sure," Xu Zimei nodded.
He glanced at Mo Xinyi and asked, "It’s quite cold at night, aren’t you cold in a skirt?"
"A bit," Mo Xinyi pursed her lips and nodded, hugging her thin figure tighter in her clothes.
"Is that so," Xu Zimei smiled and replied, "Luckily I dressed warmly, not afraid of the cold."
Mo Xinyi turned her head and gave Xu Zimei a serious look.
Usually, at this time, shouldn’t a guy offer his clothes to the girl to wear?
You must be a heartless man!
"I said, I’m a bit cold," Mo Xinyi repeated.
"If you’re cold, why don’t you stay in your room instead of coming out? Serves you right," Xu Zimei replied.
"You, you this person," Mo Xinyi pointed at Xu Zimei, struggling to speak for a long while.
"Actually, I understand what you mean," Xu Zimei shook his head and said, "But do you think it’s possible between us?"
Mo Xinyi lowered her head, her eyes rimmed with redness, and eventually said in a aggrieved tone, "I didn’t want to degrade myself .
But being in a family like ours, I have no say in the matter."
"If your family truly wants to prosper the Mo Family, let me give you a clear path," Xu Zimei replied.
"What is it?" Mo Xinyi quickly lifted her head and asked.
"There’s a young man in your Mo Family named Mo Chen, he could be the key to your rise," Xu Zimei said, "as long as you do not oppose me."
Hearing Xu Zimei’s words, Mo Xinyi softly replied, "Thank you."
Xu Zimei slightly shook his head, then waved his hand dismissively.
He chuckled as he watched the direction Mo Xinyi left in.
During the seven days at the Mo Family, nothing else really happened.
During this period, some people from the Mo Family tried to curry favor with Xu Zimei, but he was not very receptive.
He didn’t really have any ill feelings toward this family, nor could he say he had a good impression of them.
It was probably just a passing landscape in his life.
On the eighth day, Mo Canghai sent someone to call for Xu Zimei.
The two came to an expansive area.
A pentagram array in the open ground emitted a dark yellow light.
As the formation rotated, the space trembled with each movement.
The "Peng Peng Peng" noise was incessant.
"Young Master Zimo, this Teleportation Array can’t send you directly to the Central Continent," explained Mo Canghai.
"Because the cross-regional distance is too far, we have a transfer station in the middle of the Endless Heaven Sea.
After you are teleported there, you can take another Teleportation Array directly to the Central Continent."
"That sounds troublesome," Xu Zimei inquired, "Isn’t there a way to be teleported directly to the Central Continent?"
"That’s not possible. The spatial span is too great, which would cause instability in the Teleportation Array, making it completely unreliable for transport," Mo Canghai shook his head as he spoke.
"All right then," Xu Zimei nodded.
"We will activate the Formation from the outside, and you stand inside at the core," Mo Canghai replied.
"When the spatial fluctuations occur, try not to resist them."
"I know," Xu Zimei nodded.
He stepped into the Teleportation Array, and the entire pentagram array blazed with light.
As this light obscured everything, a thunderous "Boom Boom Boom" sounded all around.
Space rippled in waves, and in an instant, it unraveled, with Xu Zimei’s figure vanishing within it.
It was like a journey through space, with countless spatial currents filling the surroundings.
Xu Zimei’s body had become entirely weightless; he drifted with the current, passively shuttling through endless space along a predetermined spatial route.
Time passed, but he couldn’t tell how long, as the spatial shuttle was filled with boredom.
From the initial novelty to a gradual sense of weariness.
Xu Zimei didn’t know how long he had slept, occasionally encountering some strange objects shuttling through the void.
But they were fleeting.
Finally, as the spatial fluctuations around him grew stronger,
One day, Xu Zimei felt as if his body had been entirely swallowed up in an instant.
The sensation of weightlessness disappeared, and light reappeared before his eyes.
When Xu Zimei opened his eyes, he found himself still within a pentagram formation.
There were people guarding outside the formation.
"Who are you?" asked a disciple dressed in blue, looking at Xu Zimei.
Xu Zimei took out the token that Mo Canghai had given him beforehand and said, "Prepare the teleportation array to the Central Continent for me, and make it quick."
"Sir, the teleportation array will take at least seven days at the earliest," the disciple hastily replied.
"Such a hassle, then make it as quick as possible," Xu Zimei responded.
The disciple notified the person in charge of the transfer station at the first opportunity.
This person in charge was named Mo Feihai, the seventh elder of the Mo Family, responsible for managing this transfer station.
He received Xu Zimei for a while, inquired about the basic situation, and then hurried off.
Xu Zimei didn’t dwell on it, as setting up the formation would take another seven days.
The next morning, while Xu Zimei was still asleep, he was awakened by a "booming" sound and the trembling of heaven and earth.
He walked out of the room.
This transfer station was built on a small island within the Endless Heaven Sea.
At this moment, smoke and dust enveloped the island, and faint beast roars could be heard in the distance.
"What happened up ahead?" Xu Zimei stopped a disciple hurrying by with an urgent look and asked.
"Don’t worry," said the disciple, shaking his head, "It must be sea pirates and the Heaven Whale Clan attacking again.
It happens a few times every month; they’ll leave after a few days."
Watching the back of the disciple hurrying to support the defense, Xu Zimei thoughtfully followed.
The Heavenly Sea was boundless, the water azure and clear.
At this time, the area around the island was surrounded by a dense fleet of ships.
The pirates were easy to recognize; they wore simple green vests, some even bare-chested.
Their cultivation was probably all above the Empty Vein Realm, and the ships they rode were bolstered by formations.
They could condense their attack’s spiritual energy and then fire it like energy cannons.
Besides these pirates, there were many Monster Beasts from the Heaven Whale Clan.
The Heaven Whale Clan had massive bodies and tough skin, ordinary attacks were useless against them.
Additionally, they could control the waters of the Heavenly Sea.
At this moment, the pirates were attacking from behind with energy cannons, while the Heaven Whale Clan took the front lines.
Although the attack was fierce, fortunately, the island’s defenses were stronger.
The Mo Family had slightly more high-level combatants here, a full five Saint Vein Realm experts.
Xu Zimei watched the battle from afar for a full day, and the fight lasted the entire day.
Only when everyone was exhausted did both sides retreat.
In the evening, Xu Zimei sought out Mo Feihai, wanting to ask about the basic situation.
At this moment in the great hall, nearly all the five Saint Vein Realm experts were present.
