"Indeed, he grew up very fast."
Jiaoqiu nodded silently.
Feixiao said at this ti, "He reminds of Jing Yuan's student on the Luofu, and that granddaughter of old man Huaiyan on the Zhuming. They are also around this age. Jing Yuan and Huaiyan have often boasted about how amazing those two kids are, how high their talent is, but compared to Derick, there's still a gap."
"Indeed," Jiaoqiu echoed Feixiao's words.
A thought flickered in Feixiao's mind, but having just t Derick and not yet understanding his situation, she didn't make any decisions.
I'll wait and see.
Derick and his group arrived at the starskiff bay of the Xianzhou Yaoqing. After explaining their origins to the person in charge, they were imdiately assigned several rest chambers.
Incidentally, the person in charge of guarding against attacks at the starskiff bay was a character who had been ntioned indirectly in the ga.
It was Li Sushang's mother, Su Yi.
"Here, you can rest here first. The General probably still has many matters to attend to, so you should rest well," Su Yi personally led Derick and his group to their rooms.
"We've troubled you, Captain Qin."
Su Yi's full na was Qin Su Yi.
"I still have things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now." After arranging everything, Su Yi turned and left.
Derick and the others looked around the room.
It was a suite within the starskiff, with three bedrooms, a living room, and one bathroom. Each bedroom had two beds and a desk, roughly accommodating six people.
"So tired." Cipher found a bed, leaped up, and dived onto it. She hugged a pillow and began to roll back and forth on the single bed.
The others also planned to rest. Derick, seeing the spare clothes in the room, said to the others, "You all rest first. I'm going to take a shower."
He had been in Amphoreus for so long, always dressed in the traditional male attire of that world. It was basically just a pair of shorts with a white cloth wrapped around his body. Although he had gotten used to it, now seeing the Xianzhou clothing that was so "familiar" to him, he still wanted to try it on.
"Mhm."
Derick walked into the bathroom.
After a quick wash, Derick changed into the spare clothes prepared by the Xianzhou.
He walked out of the bathroom.
Cipher was still wrestling with the pillow on her bed. She turned her head and saw Derick's current appearance, and was so stunned that the pillow in her hands fell to the floor, snapping her back to reality.
"Wow, Derry-boy, you rascal! How did you get even more handso?"
Derick was now wearing a white martial arts uniform, his whole body clad in snow-white garnts, with black long boots on his feet. He looked incredibly suave and clean, with a naturally charming deanor. His figure was tall and straight, his hair loosely tied with a plain silver ribbon, a few stray strands falling across his jade-like forehead, adding a touch of youthful spirit. Especially with the slight upward curve of his lips, Cipher felt Derick had an indescribable charm.
Cipher couldn't help but swallow.
She was even more thirsty now.
If she didn't know for sure that she couldn't beat Derick now, Cipher really wanted to drag him off and do… this and that to him.
"Derry-boy, are you really not a Xianzhou native? Why do the Xianzhou clothes suit you so much better than the Amphorean ones?" Cipher asked him.
Derick smiled but didn't say a word.
Beside them, Castorice and Hyacine were both a bit dazed, a faint blush appearing on their cheeks. They knew Derick was very handso, but they never thought he could beco even more so.
Derick was very happy with their reaction. After all, having mbers of the opposite sex stunned by your looks, one of whom is your girlfriend… no matter how you think about it, it's an exciting thing!
"Polyxia, I'll take you back to rest first." Derick went over to push Polyxia's wheelchair.
"Mm-hmm…" Polyxia seed calm, but it wasn't until Derick had pushed her for more than a ter that she reacted. Her cheeks, as if thawing, began to turn red.
Arriving in the rest chamber, Polyxia still needed soone to help her onto the bed. Looking at Derick, who had pushed her in, Polyxia's breathing quickened slightly.
But at that mont, Castorice walked in and helped Polyxia onto the bed.
Feeling her sister's movents, Polyxia breathed a sigh of relief, but a faint sense of disappointnt lingered in her heart.
"I'll go rest next door," Derick said to Castorice.
In such a small suite, Derick couldn't do anything with Castorice, so he could only stay in a separate room by himself.
"Alright."
Derick left and went to the other rest chamber.
Castorice watched him leave, then took out a notebook and a pen from her pocket. Glancing at Polyxia, she said, "Sister, you sleep for a while. I'll rest later."
Seeing Derick in his new clothes, the creative desire within Castorice was becoming uncontrollable. Now, holding her notebook, she was itching to write it all down in her book imdiately.
"Okay."
Polyxia quickly lay down and pulled the blanket over her face, hiding her shy emotions.
Derick lay on the bed. Looking at the modern facilities around him, he felt as if he were in a different world. No matter how rustic the Xianzhou Alliance made things, at its core, it was a high-tech civilization. Compared to Amphoreus, the facilities were countless tis better. Even the rest chambers on the combat starskiffs had things like television projectors.
He turned on the projector, wanting to watch so Xianzhou Alliance news and enjoy a good rest.
But, the sensation coming from his right eye told him it was still a bit too early to rest.
A feeling from the second clone… could it be that Ruan i has already reached the Xianzhou Zhuming?
Derick thought to himself, then he switched his perspective to his second clone.
Through the second clone's eyes, a massive Xianzhou ship appeared.
It was the Xianzhou Zhuming.
When the Zhuming was ntioned, Derick always thought of its excellent forging craftsmanship. So, in his mind, the Zhuming should look like a giant forge.
But looking at it now, Derick found that it was completely different.
The overall shape of the Xianzhou was like a delicately carved golden Reishi mushroom. Huge, outstretched, luminous foil-like leaves surrounded a conical celestial city that served as the main trunk, unfolding in successive layers.
"Truly surprising," Derick thought to himself.
Ruan i imdiately inford the Zhuming that Ruan i of the Genius Society wished to see General Huaiyan.
Ruan i's na was very effective. It didn't take long for the receptionist to inform her that General Huaiyan was available and that they could go see him.
"Let's go, let's go down," Ruan i said, then glanced at Tingyun and handed her a conical bamboo hat.
"To prevent your appearance from being known by Phantylia, you should cover yourself up first."
"Mhm." Tingyun nodded, then took the cloak and put on the hat.
Things produced by Ruan i had very strong concealnt properties.
Then, the spaceship entered the starskiff harbor of Radiant Feldspar. Upon entering, Derick was surprised to feel a coolness as if he had been imrsed in a pool of water. The light was filtered, flowing in a comfortable honey color. The huge starskiff navigation platform seed to be carved from a single, boundless piece of moonstone.
Is this really a giant forge?
Derick felt even more incredulous.
Because of Ruan i's status, General Huaiyan had also sent soone to receive them.
Derick looked over and saw a petite girl in a green short skirt, her pair of snow-white, tender feet stepping on the ground. And on her back, she carried a greatsword taller than herself.
Derick naturally recognized her. It was General Huaiyan's granddaughter, Yunli. He hadn't expected that she would be the one to greet Ruan i upon their arrival at the Zhuming.
But on second thought, it made sense. With Ruan i's fa, soone of sufficient stature had to receive her. At the sa ti, because her purpose in coming was unclear, it wasn't appropriate for official personnel to co.
Yunli, as General Huaiyan's granddaughter, had sufficient status, but she was only a Sword Hunter and held no official position.
Looking at Yunli, another thought ca to Derick's mind.
Others always liked to pinch his face, but looking at Yunli's small, round face, with its baby fat on her cheeks, he also felt the urge to give it a pinch.
If my main body gets the chance, I'll definitely have to try it.
Yunli, of course, had no idea what Derick was thinking. She was just quite wary of the people who had co down from Ruan i's ship.
Ruan i herself looked fine, like a gentle big sister. But what about the two next to her? One was wearing a conical hat, hiding their head and tail, and the other was just a dark monster.
But on the surface, she was still very polite.
"Greetings, Lady Ruan i. My na is Yunli. I am General Huaiyan's granddaughter, specially sent to welco you."
Ruan i nodded lightly. "Mhm, take to see General Huaiyan."
"Alright."
Yunli led Ruan i into the depths of the Xianzhou Zhuming.
The second clone and Tingyun followed behind.
Going deeper into the Zhuming, Derick discovered that the outside was indeed just a facade. The interior of the Zhuming was basically all forging grounds.
Waves of heat billowed, swords and blades stood like a forest—what a magnificent sight.
Ruan i was not affected by this, strolling through it as if in a garden, which made Yunli secretly amazed.
To be able to look at the forging scene of the Zhuming with such a blank expression… she truly is a mber of the Genius Society.
Arriving at the General's residence, Yunli said to Ruan i, "Lady Ruan i, my grandfather is inside. Please follow in. As for these two…"
She really didn't want to let those two in.
"She is the purpose of my visit here. She must co in with ," Ruan i said, pointing at Tingyun. Then she pointed at Derick's second clone.
"This little guy, however, can stay outside."
Little guy?
Looking at the second clone's towering height of several ters, Yunli was speechless.
After a mont of thought, she agreed to Ruan i's request, leading Ruan i and Tingyun into the residence.
