Compared to Xu Youzhi's worries, the other members on the Ghost Artifact Ship seemed much more relaxed and at ease.
Some were leaning against the ship, enjoying the scenery, while others were meditating and cultivating.
Each was occupied with their own affairs.
Jiang Lin and As, a member of the Ghost Artifact Workshop, were studying the Southern Palace pass that Zhong Kui had just given them.
"How come you have two?"
As asked curiously when Jiang Lin produced another one.
"Another ghost messenger gave it to me," Jiang Lin replied.
He held two passes in his hand: one was from Zhong Kui, and the other was given by a burly man during a special mission.
However...
Jiang Lin placed the two passes side-by-side for comparison.
The pass given by Lord Zhong Kui had several more golden stripes on its surface and felt better to the touch.
But other than that, there seemed to be no other difference.
"One is for single use, and the other can be used long-term."
Qin Zhouzhou, who had appeared at some point, explained.
Jiang Lin raised an eyebrow, not surprised at how she knew.
"How many do you have?"
Given her personality, she wouldn't be unprepared.
Even if she didn't necessarily need to go to the Southern Palace in the future, she would have prepared a few.
"I originally prepared some, but they were all for single use."
Qin Zhouzhou didn't hide anything and produced several passes with a flick of her hand.
With a movement of her fingers, the passes unfolded like a fan.
"Now that I have this one from Lord Zhong Kui, these single-use ones are not as important anymore."
Besides ghost kings and above, some ghost messengers with special positions also had the authority to issue passes.
However, most of them were for single use.
Ghost messengers like Zhong Kui, who could issue long-term valid passes, were rare.
And they were not easy to come into contact with.
"You, you guys..."
As, the member of the Ghost Artifact Workshop, looked at Jiang Lin, then at Qin Zhouzhou.
His eyebrows furrowed into a confused arc.
How did they have so many passes?
Where did they get them?
Could these things be bought?
Why hadn't he ever seen them???
At the bow of the ship.
Xu Youzhi had just breathed a sigh of relief.
When he turned around, he saw the entire board of passes displayed in Qin Zhouzhou's hand.
And the two passes in Jiang Lin's hand.
His heart immediately tensed up again.
This, this!
This is outrageous!
Are these two planning to sneak back again at some point?!
...
"Hahaha, how do you guys have so many??"
"Good heavens, I thought everyone had one, but you guys brought out a whole bunch."
"It's good to prepare more (doge), come back and play often in the future~"
The viewers in the live stream said cheerfully.
As the Ghost Artifact Ship took off, the small live stream orb finally emerged from the ship.
It had returned to its normal state.
One camera broadcast the scene on the ship, and another broadcast the scenery below the high altitude.
The whistling wind blew past.
Faintly, two large gourds could be seen flying in the distance.
Upon them sat two small, robust little fellows.
"The Southern Palace is great, with wings and little tigers~"
"And centralized dormitories, with fair-skinned and beautiful dormitory matrons (罒w罒)~"
"The one upstairs, your thoughts are very dangerous, please stop immediately, let me do it!"
...
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Xu Youzhi coughed with his fist in his mouth. When the team members on the ship looked over,
He said, "Everyone come over, let's have a meeting."
What kind of meeting?
First, let's talk about what everyone did during their trip to the Southern Palace and what they gained.
Let's summarize.
They had come out on a mission this time.
Yu Baixing, sitting next to his senior idol, spoke first:
"During our time in the Southern Palace, I followed my senior and learned."
"I checked ten large seals and repaired five or six medium-sized seals."
"I also participated in an exchange meeting with the Southern Palace's seal team..."
"This trip to the Southern Palace allowed me to make many like-minded ghost messengers and hear many different perspectives."
These would all help him go further on the path of sealing.
Although the seals in the Southern Palace were not as professional as those in the Eastern Palace,
They had accumulated some depth over the years.
Among them, there were also some ghost messengers who were particularly talented in sealing.
What they shared at the exchange meeting also benefited him greatly.
Xu Youzhi nodded, "Mm, very good."
Yu Baixing: (✧◡✧)
Senior praised him!
Sitting next to Yu Baixing was Hei Wuchang Liu Buwei. Seeing everyone looking over,
Liu Buwei said nonchalantly:
"I got into a few fights in the Southern Palace and spent a few days in jail."
After speaking, he fell silent.
Yu Baixing: "Then what?"
Liu Buwei looked over, "Then I got on the ship with you all."
"Actually, I think I gained a lot this time. How about we have a fight to see?"
As Liu Buwei spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and looked at the ghost messengers present with great interest.
He wasn't provoking anyone; he genuinely wanted to try!
He had been fighting in the Southern Palace for so long and had become much stronger.
He just didn't know how he compared to the ghost messengers in their own Underworld.
Yu Baixing rolled his eyes, "We're having a meeting, who wants to fight you."
Xu Youzhi also smiled and asked Liu Buwei to sit down.
And so, the entire meeting went off track starting with Liu Buwei.
Qin Zhouzhou said, "I toured the Southern Palace Underworld, and the scenery in the human world was also good."
"The food in the Southern Palace was also quite delicious, and I collected a lot of ingredients..."
As she spoke, her next sentence was, "How about we have the meeting while eating?"
o(￣ヘ￣o＃)
Yu Baixing refused with a serious face: We're having a meeting! What are you eating for!
It was Jiang Lin's turn next.
Jiang Lin thought back and said:
"I wandered around the Southern Underworld, completed a few missions, and exchanged them for some skill books and cultivation methods."
En, the gains were quite significant.
Finally, it was As from the Ghost Artifact Workshop.
He looked at Jiang Lin, then at Liu Buwei.
Since everyone else was being brief, he would also be concise.
"During this period, I basically stayed within the Ghost Artifact Workshop, the Ghost Market, and the accommodation."
"They don't have many ghost artifacts; it seems they don't pay much attention to them."
After he finished speaking, the ship fell silent.
As paused for a moment and then added, "I'm done."
...
"Pfft~ Doesn't this resemble a company annual summary? The atmosphere always changes drastically after a silly person starts."
"Yu Baixing: ??? So only senior and I are properly doing reports and summaries?"
"Hey, hey, we're having a serious meeting, don't laugh, we're professionals!"
The bullet comments in the live stream flew by.
This scene always felt so familiar.
How to put it...
It was like a model student earnestly reading a report at the front,
While a group of slackers behind them discussed eating, drinking, and having fun.
It didn't feel like they were on the same channel.
A viewer immediately wrote a short skit and posted it in the group chat.
"I'm the skit master (hands on hips)! Expand to continue reading>"
"Boss, amazing, I'll do one too!"
"Hahaha, I can't stop laughing..."
...
...
