A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 2240 - 1519: Birthday Banquet (What Fun Should I Play Lately?) (2)
But for Duanmu Huai, the most interesting thing at the moment is...
"Are you two sisters?"
Duanmu Huai humorously glanced at Wang Yuyan and then at Little Dragon Girl. At this moment, the two girls also exchanged confused looks, as they really resembled each other, especially face-to-face, it was almost like looking in a mirror. Duanmu Huai also remembered the novel mentioned Little Dragon Girl was an abandoned infant, her background wasn’t written, and the two looked about the same age. Could it be that in this world, they really are sisters?
"Eh? I’ve never heard my mother say anything..."
Unlike the silent Little Dragon Girl, Wang Yuyan was completely baffled. After all, who would expect to suddenly have an extra sister without knowing it? Plus, her mother never mentioned having a sister. However, looking at the face that looked exactly like hers, saying they are sisters... it kind of made sense?
Compared to Wang Yuyan, Little Dragon Girl seemed uninterested. She was originally the type with a cold disposition, otherwise, she wouldn’t be known as a representative of the indifferent icebergs. She only slightly bowed to Duanmu Huai and Wang Yuyan.
"Thank you for the rescue, I shall take my leave."
"Wait, did I say you could leave?"
However, Duanmu Huai obviously wasn’t going to allow Little Dragon Girl to leave just like that. Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Little Dragon Girl also stared at him.
"What does your honor mean by this?"
"Since we are free anyway, why not join us for a stroll? It’s almost Master Zhang’s centennial birthday banquet that we plan to attend, why don’t you come along too?"
"I won’t disturb you, I shall take my leave."
Little Dragon Girl clearly had no intention of joining the excitement, but Duanmu Huai wouldn’t just let her walk away. Seeing Little Dragon Girl trying to leave, he merely reached out his hand, grabbed at the air in her direction, and with a flick, Little Dragon Girl immediately felt her body lifting into the air, tracing an arc before landing on a chair beside the yak.
This move thoroughly astonished Little Dragon Girl, for she never thought someone would have such martial arts skills. Contrarily, Wang Yuyan appeared calm, without shouting or screaming. When Duanmu Huai summoned the yak mount right before her eyes, Wang Yuyan had been astounded beyond belief, already considering Duanmu Huai as an immortal descended from heaven. Thus, this scene didn’t seem like much to her.
Actually, now Wang Yuyan’s resentment towards Duanmu Huai had dissipated. Ancient people were quite superstitious; initially, Wang Yuyan hated Duanmu Huai for exposing her cousin’s plot, leading to his family’s execution and a place with no burial ground. But upon discovering Duanmu Huai was an immortal, she secretly sighed, thinking her cousin’s deeds were intolerable to natural law, thus prompting an immortal’s intervention. In this light, it was heaven’s decree, and Wang Yuyan naturally had no reason to hate Duanmu Huai anymore.
Well... perhaps Wang Yuyan was not entirely mistaken?
Little Dragon Girl indeed lived up to her name, attempting but failing to break free, she then ceased to care, closing her eyes to meditate and heal. She had just battled fiercely with Li Mochou earlier, her injuries hadn’t healed yet. Anyway, given her cold nature, she wasn’t bothered by trivial matters; since Duanmu Huai had no intention of letting her go, she might as well meditate here to heal, it’s all the same.
After passing this section along the road, the group of two turned into three as they continued towards Wudang Mountain.
With Little Dragon Girl staying, the happiest turned out to be Wang Yuyan. Previously, with just her and Duanmu Huai, there were many things Wang Yuyan couldn’t talk to him about, plus Duanmu Huai’s vexing personality, talking to him could infuriate anyone to death. Now, with Little Dragon Girl as company, Wang Yuyan was indeed quite happy, chatting daily about this and that.
And Little Dragon Girl’s attitude towards Wang Yuyan was rather good, although not one to answer every question, it wasn’t entirely icy either, probably related to Wang Yuyan’s resemblance to her.
As for Duanmu Huai, Little Dragon Girl had no interest in dealing with him, but Duanmu Huai couldn’t care less. If she wasn’t obedient, he would make her be. After several instances, through Wang Yuyan’s persuasion, Little Dragon Girl had no choice but to obey.
Anyway, besides wanting her to travel along, Duanmu Huai didn’t do anything peculiar to her.
In this manner, after traveling for a few days, on Zhang Sanfeng’s hundredth birthday, the trio finally arrived at Wudang Mountain.
Such a large yak certainly couldn’t traverse mountain roads, so Duanmu Huai had the two ladies dismount and then retracted the yak mount. Seeing the large yak vanish upon a flash in Duanmu Huai’s hand, Little Dragon Girl rarely showed a surprised expression.
Witnessing Little Dragon Girl’s demeanor, Wang Yuyan chuckled lightly beside her. She had previously told Little Dragon Girl about Duanmu Huai’s various skills, but Little Dragon Girl didn’t quite believe her. Only upon seeing it with her own eyes did she realize immortals indeed existed—not after such a large yak carried them for days suddenly disappearing wasn’t something that can be explained by sleight of hand or illusion techniques.
When they ascended the mountain, it was already close to noon. According to etiquette, they should have presented a visiting card. However, Duanmu Huai didn’t understand this tradition, he merely spoke to the reception boy monk, who, upon hearing it, his expression slightly changed, but he agreed compliantly and hurriedly went up the mountain to report.
