"He's the boss of this ship? Are you saying that this ancient warship belongs to their family?" Lin Yi pretended to be surprised.
"Uh ..." Sun baolu choked. Of course, this ancient battleship did not belong to Ren Zhongyuan's family. Such an item was not something that any golden class academy could possess, let alone Ren Zhongyuan's family. If word of this got out, he would become a laughingstock.
"You know nothing! Although this ancient battleship doesn't belong to brother Ren, it was all thanks to brother Ren's father's connections that we were able to borrow it for temporary use. Of course, brother Ren has the final say!" Li Yu Zhou quickly retorted.
Lin Yi was surprised to hear that. It seemed like Ren Zhongyuan's father was doing quite well to be able to borrow an ancient warship of this scale. The status of a seventh-grade Alchemist was not fake after all. No wonder this kid was so arrogant. It seemed like he did have some assets.
"That's right, that's right. You're such a blind person. You dared to offend brother Ren after boarding the ship. You really don't know how to die!" Sun baolu clamored, not willing to be outdone.
The two of them had a rare chance to show their loyalty, and they were trying their best to make fun of Lin Yi. Just as they were getting excited, Liu Ziyu's cold voice came from behind,"Why are you all blocking the way here instead of lining up properly?"
Upon hearing this voice, li Yuzhou and sun baolu shuddered and nearly peed their pants. They quickly hid behind Ren Zhongyuan. The person they were most afraid of seeing was Liu Ziyu. What if this Big Shot of the Academy decided to punish them or even throw them into the sea to feed the sea beasts?
Liu Ziyu did not even look at them. Unless Huo yudie's reputation was really damaged, she would not bother with such a small figure. It would only be an insult to her status and would be a joke to outsiders.
"Vice Dean Liu, you've misunderstood us. We're just casually chatting to avoid anyone who doesn't know the rules and might lose their lives on board." Ren Zhongyuan looked at Lin Yi with a faint smile.
He hated Lin Yi for a long time, but there was nothing he could do in the Western part of the island. He could only watch Huo yudie hang out with the kid all day long. But now, it was different. The day he had been waiting for had finally come.
Once they got on the ship, it would be his territory. He could do whatever he wanted to Lin Yi, even with Liu Ziyu. After all, that old woman couldn't monitor him in real time. He'd have plenty of chances to do so.
Lin Yi smiled nonchalantly. After bowing to Liu Ziyu, he continued to chat with ning Xuefei and Huo yudie. As for Ren Zhongyuan's so-called threat, he didn't take it to heart.
The first thing Ren Zhongyuan did after they boarded the ship was to allocate their rooms. Although Ren Zhongyuan could make decisions on many things and even decide the allocation of most of the disciples 'rooms, it was a pity that this matter concerned ning Xuefei, the princess of the West Island. No matter how bold he was, he did not dare to interfere in this matter. Hence, Liu Ziyu had to do the allocation personally.
Ning Xuefei's room was right next to Huo yudie 's, and as the Fuma of the Western Island, Lin Yi's room was also arranged to be near ning Xuefei's room, directly opposite Huo yudie' s.
This arrangement made Ren Zhongyuan so angry that he gritted his teeth. That was the room he had dreamed of. He finally realized that Liu Ziyu, this old woman, not only did not stop Lin Yi and Huo yudie from approaching, but she even took the initiative to create an opportunity for them. How shameless!
Everything was ready. The ancient warship finally left the dock of the West Island slowly with the sound of an ancient and desolate horn, accompanied by the cheers of countless people and the melodious sound of a horn. It braved the wind and waves to face the endless sea.
The ancient battleship was a rare sight, and Lin Yi wanted to take this opportunity to look around. Unfortunately, he was told that it could only be used in the living quarters. As for the weapons and arrays, only the operators of the battleship could enter. Outsiders were not allowed to take half a step in, including people like Liu Ziyu and Ren Zhongyuan.
Lin Yi finally understood-this ancient battleship wasn't even a rental. All the operations were done by the original crew, and the others were just temporary passengers.
"I thought I would be able to broaden my horizons. What a pity." Lin Yi could only shake his head at the conclusion.
"Yeah, what a pity!" Ning Xuefei, who was standing beside him, sighed as well. She was more interested in the ancient warship than Lin Yi, but she couldn't even look at it. What a waste of a good opportunity! Although she was the princess of the West Island, she had never had the chance to ride such an ancient warship before.
"Stop complaining, you two. I heard from master that some schools still have the blueprints of ancient warships. When the time comes, we can just find a way to get them and take a look. Feifei, maybe you and Jing Jing can make a counterfeit together!" Huo yudie comforted her. She did not know why, but she was particularly interested in the words of the secular world.
"Really? We can try that!" Ning Xuefei's eyes lit up.
Lin Yi didn't know what to say after seeing her reaction. Even if he could get the design, it wasn't something he could just create! Han Jingjing was only talented in creating technology that was beyond the times, but Lin Yi thought of another person!
That was the king of junk. Perhaps one day, he would be able to build a warship.
A melodious bugle sounded from the boat, and Lin Yi blinked."Could something have happened?"
"No, this soft horn means that the meal is ready. Let's go over now." Huo yudie smiled and immediately led the two of them to the cafeteria.
He'd seen the dining hall on the North Island before and thought it was luxurious enough, but after seeing the super-standard dining hall on this ancient battleship, he suddenly had a thought-the people of East continent really knew how to enjoy life!
Not only Lin Yi, but even ning Xuefei was stunned. The princess of the Western Island had seen a lot of good things, but this was the first time she had seen a ship's cafeteria this exaggerated.
Resplendent and magnificent would only make it seem tacky, but the canteen in front of him was simply an extremely high-class indoor paradise. All kinds of delicacies were placed in the middle of a beautiful celestial stone and Jade pool. One could take a few steps and get their own food. Not only was it elegant, but it also made people unconsciously open their eyes and exclaim endlessly.
Ning Xuefei excitedly took a plate of cake from the plate floating in the Jade pool and tasted it. Her eyes brightened and she praised,""En, Lin Yi, you should try it too. This cake is too good, it's no worse than the ones on the Western part of the island!"
"Really?" Lin Yi ate a piece, half believing it. (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote. Your support is my greatest motivation. For mobile users, please read on M.Qidian.com.)
