Chapter 27 The Secret of the Ship
"Are you interested?" Ying Zifei's words made Wei Zhuang's eyes serious. The chaotic fight among the three just now was just a test.

"Brother Gai, what about you, are you interested too?" Ying Zifei turned his gaze to Gai Nie. Gai Nie glanced at the two of them, but put away his sword and stood still.

"I have seen what I wanted to see today."

His edge was restrained a little, and Ying Zifei secretly praised in his heart, as expected, this guy has already stepped into that realm.

Wei Zhuang turned his gaze to his senior brother Gai Nie. As he was the one he knew best, he could better notice the changes in his senior brother.

The "sword in the heart" of senior brother Gai Nie became clearer and clearer.

"You really surprised me, Senior Brother."

After sheathing his sword, Wei Zhuang glanced at Ying Zifei, then turned and left.

"I look forward to our next fight. I hope your sword can surprise me."

He left. Today's battle seemed to start strong but end weakly, but both sides gained something.

"Has he always been so cold and arrogant?" Ying Zifei put away his sword, looked at Gai Nie and started to complain.

Gai Nie's mouth curled up slightly when he heard this, and he chuckled and said, "Maybe next time, you won't think he is cold and arrogant."

Ying Zifei smiled. It was really interesting that the disciples of Guiguzi Zongheng loved and hated each other.

The two men walked side by side and came to Guiguzi. After bowing, they both knelt down.

"I am very curious. With your current skin of steel and bones, and your impermeable outer training skills, why do you still need to wear the Qingming Inner Armor?"

These words startled Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, and then they both looked at Ying Zifei with scrutiny.

From the fight just now, does this guy have other hidden skills?
"Senior, I'm afraid of death!"

"But what I thought in my heart forced me to put myself in some danger."

"It's good to have more life-saving cards."

Ying Zifei's straightforward words left Guiguzi and his two disciples silent.

This guy's personality is really hard to figure out.

"I'm curious, how did you learn that domineering attitude of yours?"

Guiguzi then asked, how did Ying Zifei, who was so overly cautious, realize his domineering power?

Such contradictory paths have made him blend them into one, which is contradictory and weird.

"Senior, cherishing life is about survival, but you can also have great ambitions. This should not be surprising."

Guiguzi, his master and his two disciples all looked as if they were lost in thought. This guy was really hard to figure out.

……

As the sun sets in the west, the birds and animals in the forest quickly return to their nests. The night in Guigu is so quiet that it makes people a little uncomfortable.

"Do you like drinking?" Gai Nie leaped onto the roof and sat next to Ying Zifei.

Ying Zifei handed the wine gourd to Gai Nie, looked at the sunset, and said lazily: "Don't you think it's nice to sit and watch the sunset and drink a few sips of wine?"

Gai Nie raised the wine gourd, gulped down a few gulps, and then returned the wine gourd to Ying Zifei.

"How does it feel?"

Ying Zifei asked with a smile, but Gai Nie shook his head and said, "There is no difference."

"It seems you don't understand wine." Ying Zifei said with some pity: "For someone like you, a sword and a jar of fine wine will make me feel that you live a more real life."

Gai Nie chuckled, looked at the setting sun, and said leisurely: "A friend of mine also told me the same thing."

"He always said that people like me are boring except swords." "Your friend must know a lot about wine." Ying Zifei laughed and said, raising his eyebrows and teasingly: "You don't give me the feeling of a descendant of Guiguzi at all."

"If you two meet, you will definitely be good drinking buddies." Gai Nie said to make himself more relaxed and asked: "In your mind, what kind of disciples should Guiguzi be like?"

"When on horseback, you are a general; when dismounted, you are a prime minister. It's more utilitarian." After saying this, Ying Zifei took a few more sips of wine.

Gai Nie was silent. After a while, he whispered softly: "Does it have to be like this?"

It seemed like he was asking Ying Zifei, and also seemed like he was asking himself.

"This is my answer." Ying Zifei put away the wine gourd and opened his arms, as if embracing the breeze.

"Is that your answer?" Gai Nie smiled. He knew that this was not his answer.

He is still searching for the answer.

Perhaps, he will never be able to find the answer!

……

The next day, after waking up, Ying Zifei washed up and went to meet Guiguzi, ready to say goodbye and leave.

The Qingming inner armor has been put on, and this trip has been a complete success.

"This is something an old guy asked me to give to you. If you are interested, you can figure out the secrets in it."

Guiguzi handed the cloth to Ying Zifei, who took it with both hands and then unfolded it to read.

"Treasure Map?"

Ying Zifei blurted out, and Guiguzi's mouth twitched slightly. How obsessed is this little guy with money and material things?
"Maybe!" Guiguzi shook his head and smiled, and said to Ying Zifei: "Since you are in charge of the Black Ice Platform of Qin State, you must also know some secrets of the battle in the coastal city of Qi State."

"This cloth should have been left by the overseas visitors on that ship. As to whether it is, you have to investigate it yourself."

Hearing this, Ying Zifei's expression became solemn. He bowed respectfully to Guiguzi and then asked, "Senior, was the biggest winner of that battle the Yin-Yang family?"

Guiguzi was somewhat surprised by Ying Zifei's question, and he asked back: "Did the Yin-Yang School's bargaining chip for entering Qin tell you anything?"

Ying Zifei shook his head and said, "I don't know as much as you do now."

"The Yin-Yang family has entered Qin and laid out their plans, but they haven't revealed anything yet."

"Then why do you ask this?" Guiguzi was a little curious. He felt that Ying Zifei seemed to be trying to connect something and verify his guess.

"Senior, I just want to confirm some speculations. Judging from the records of that battle, the Yin-Yang family must have gained something, otherwise the former head of the Yin-Yang family would not have "died of illness" so quickly."

"In that battle, many people died. If there was nothing for people to fight for, why would they fight so hard?"

Guiguzi nodded. He had personally experienced that battle and naturally knew the danger involved.

"All I know is that the Yin-Yang School got the remaining drawings of the ship." Guiguzi gave the answer, and Ying Zifei felt that some memories in his mind were connected again.

"Thank you for telling me, senior." Ying Zifei bowed respectfully again.

Seeing his calm reaction, Guiguzi's eyes flashed and he asked tentatively: "Aren't you curious about where that ship came from?"

Ying Zifei heard the probing meaning in Guiguzi's words and smiled, "Actually, Senior, you want to ask me if I am interested in the legendary overseas fairy mountain, right?"

"Do you believe that the origin of that ship is the legendary fairy mountain overseas?" Guiguzi asked back with a smile.

"Whether it is true or not, we will know it later." Ying Zifei smiled and said, "Senior, you don't have to test me. Compared with chasing legends like crazy, I prefer to walk slowly and steadily."

Guiguzi couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this. At this moment, he finally understood where this kid's domineering attitude came from.
