Witnessing this scene, everyone was stunned.
Every single person on the deck was shocked and dumbfounded.
No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't figure it out, couldn't understand, and were utterly unable to comprehend why Yunyan Fairy, who had rejected everyone's invitations, would accept an invitation from such a fellow.
Not only was this man unremarkable in appearance, but he also didn't know his own limits. He had no cultivation level to speak of, no destiny to speak of. Reclining on a chair with his legs crossed, he looked more like a spoiled young master from the mortal world.
Wait!
Something's off.
How could this person have no cultivation level?
Realizing this, everyone carefully probed and discovered that Gu Qingfeng truly had no cultivation level.
Not a single trace of cultivation level on his entire body.
And...
Not only did he lack cultivation level, he didn't even seem to be an Immortal at all.
A Demon?
A Monster?
A Ghost?
Or some other strange being?
No!
None of those.
Could he be some great power reincarnated?
No!
Not that either.
If he were a reincarnated great power, his body would inevitably carry the special turbid aura of reincarnation.
Could he be some Great Old Master who cultivated incorrectly and lost all his cultivation?
No.
Not that either.
Even if some Great Old Master lost all his cultivation, his Immortal body should still remain.
Everyone could see that apart from the most basic human aura, this fellow had no other spiritual aura whatsoever.
In other words.
This fellow really was just a Human, and a pure, unadulterated mortal at that.
How could a mortal appear on the Xuantian Great Vessel?
He didn't look like a menial worker on the ship either.
Even if he were a menial worker, he would have at least some cultivation level!
As everyone puzzled and speculated, they gradually remembered something.
It was said that when the Xuantian Great Vessel had previously stopped in the Golden Sun Heavenly Domain, a junior brother under Lei Lie's command was attacked by a demon beast and was apparently saved by an expert. That expert had no cultivation level whatsoever and had annihilated that demon beast with just a casual wave of his hand. At the time, some guessed that expert might be the legendary Worthy One.
Could it be...
This unremarkable fellow was the Worthy One who annihilated a demon beast in the Golden Sun Heavenly Domain?
The more they thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, especially when they saw Lei Lie and Old Huang at the same table, further solidifying their inner speculation.
This unremarkable fellow might really be a Worthy One!
However.
Even if he really was the legendary Worthy One, did he have to be so arrogant?
Although the Worthy One was a legend, it was only a legend from the ancient era.
In this Present Era where all things are reviving, where Heavenly Destinies are as common as dogs and Edict Mandates walk the earth everywhere, what does a mere Worthy One amount to?
The so-called Worthy One is nothing more than a person who has received an Edict Mandate from the Great Dao, and what's more, it's the Human Dao—the most humble, most insignificant Dao among the Three Thousand Great Daos. Forget comparing it to the Immortal Dao; even the Edict Mandates of the Monster Dao or Ghost Dao are superior.
Moreover, it wasn't as if there were no Edict Mandate holders here. The master of this Xuantian Great Vessel, Young Master Mo, was a person who had received an Edict Mandate from the Immortal Dao. Not only was he a prodigious talent renowned throughout the heavenly domains, born into a great Immortal family, but he also had a great Immortal realm backing him. One could say he had cultivation level, strength, status, position, and background.
What everyone couldn't figure out was why Yunyan Fairy, who had even rejected Young Master Mo earlier, would now accept an invitation from a fellow whose status as a true Worthy One was still unknown.
They couldn't figure it out.
Lei Lie couldn't figure it out either. Not only could he not figure it out, he had never imagined Yunyan Fairy would accept Gu Qingfeng's invitation.
Could it really be because Old Master Gu was a Worthy One?
Perhaps.
Lei Lie didn't know either.
At this moment, he didn't have the mind to dwell on it. Seeing Yunyan Fairy approach, he quickly stood up and cupped his fists, saying, "This humble one pays his respects to Yunyan Fairy."
After all, he had suffered at Yunyan Fairy's hands before and knew her existence was extraordinary.
Following suit, Old Huang didn't dare be negligent either. He stood up and cupped his fists, saying, "This old man pays his respects to Yunyan Fairy."
Only Gu Qingfeng remained as leisurely and carefree as ever, reclining on his chair with his legs crossed. He directly pulled a chair from behind him, placed it beside himself, patted it, and said, "Come, sit here."
Good heavens!
Gu Qingfeng's action once again infuriated everyone on the deck. Many even cursed this fellow in their hearts for being too rogueish and shameless.
Calling her 'big sister' earlier was vulgar enough.
Calling himself 'uncle', hooking his finger, openly flirting with Yunyan Fairy aside, now he even dared to ask Yunyan Fairy to sit beside him.
This was too disrespectful, too audacious.
However.
What shocked and dumbfounded them even more was that Yunyan Fairy still didn't refuse this time. She nodded and actually sat down right beside Gu Qingfeng. Not only did she sit, but before sitting, she even said thank you to that fellow.
If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it was real.
Being flirted with like this, not getting angry was one thing, but why thank him?
Was this still the Yunyan Fairy who had rejected Immortal Shangguan Dong and Young Master Mo, who held an Immortal Dao Edict Mandate?
They didn't know.
No one was clear.
They only felt this matter was too strange, strange beyond everyone's imagination.
Lei Lie was also wide-eyed, mouth agape, his shocked expression as if he had witnessed a divine miracle. Beside him, Old Huang's aged face also shifted expressions repeatedly. The two exchanged a glance, both somewhat bewildered, neither knowing what to say.
"Big sister, you look a bit familiar," Gu Qingfeng said, looking at Yunyan Fairy beside him with a smiling face. "Have we met before?"
"We have," Yunyan Fairy replied softly, sitting properly on the chair beside Gu Qingfeng. She nodded and said, "When the Xuantian Great Vessel docked in the Golden Sun Heavenly Domain earlier, this humble girl was fortunate enough to have seen the Great Old Master once."
Yunyan Fairy's words once again left everyone on the deck stunned and speechless.
No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't understand why Yunyan Fairy, who had rejected invitations from Edict Mandate holders, would be so respectful to this fellow.
Not only did she refer to herself as 'this humble girl', but she also addressed him as 'Great Old Master'?
Even meeting once was considered fortunate?
This was too bizarre, too strange!
Could it be that in Yunyan Fairy's eyes, a Worthy One who had received a Human Dao Edict Mandate was more noble than an Immortal who had received an Immortal Dao Edict Mandate?
So noble that even when publicly flirted with, she didn't dare get angry?
Who knew?
No one knew.
"No wonder you look so familiar," Gu Qingfeng asked again. "What's your name again? Yunyan Fairy?"
Yunyan Fairy didn't immediately respond to this question. Instead, she gazed at Gu Qingfeng. After a moment, she replied, "Fairy is too lofty a title. Great Old Master may simply call me Yunyan."
"Oh? You're quite modest."
"The Great Old Master jests..."
"Hahaha!" Gu Qingfeng laughed heartily. Glancing at Lei Lie, who was still standing there dumbfounded, he said, "I say, Lei Lie, since Big Sister Yunyan is being so gracious, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and pour the wine for Big Sister."
