Chapter 1327: Chapter 1316: Return to the Celestial Clan
“Alright!”
Upon hearing Tian Lin’s suggestion, both Tian Wu and Tian Jing nodded, indicating they had no objections.
Tian Lin started the ship and gradually sailed toward Sea Emperor Island. Since the surrounding seas were somewhat unsettled, he dared not sail too fast.
Not long after setting sail, Tian Lin saw a small black dot flying in their direction from afar.
“Look! It’s Mr. Ning!” As the small black dot got closer, Tian Wu immediately recognized who it was. He went to the deck and waved his arms, shouting loudly at Ning Fan: “Mr. Ning!”
Ning Fan, who was flying in the sky, heard Tian Wu’s voice. He looked down and saw Tian Lin’s ship.
Ning Fan then changed direction and swooped downward.
In almost an instant, Ning Fan landed on the deck.
“Mr. Ning, who is this person?” When Ning Fan landed on the deck, Tian Wu noticed that Ning Fan was carrying someone in his hand.
“This is Hai Boding.” Ning Fan casually tossed Hai Boding’s corpse aside and said: “I’ve already killed him, we can head back now.”
“He is Hai Boding?!” Tian Wu looked at Hai Boding lying on the deck in disbelief.
Hai Boding’s corpse was left with open eyes, his chest clearly sunken in, evidently struck by Ning Fan’s fist.
“Mr. Ning, you are truly amazing! You even managed to sink Sea Emperor Island!” Tian Wu said admiringly.
“When you handle something, you should do it thoroughly.” Ning Fan waved his hand and said: “Head back to the Celestial Clan now.”
“Yes!” Tian Wu nodded and, hesitating for a moment, asked: “Mr. Ning, should we take Hai Boding’s corpse back as well?”
Ning Fan nodded and said: “Take it back and show it to your Great Elder as proof.”
“Alright.” Tian Wu nodded and said.
After Ning Fan finished instructing them, he walked toward the rest area, his True Qi almost completely exhausted. He needed to meditate immediately to restore it.
Tian Wu went to the control room and spoke a few words to Tian Lin, who nodded and slowly steered the ship back on its original course.
Compared to the initial trepidation, the return journey saw Tian Lin and others in high spirits, their hearts filled with gratitude for Ning Fan. After all, Ning Fan had helped them eliminate a significant threat. In the future, the Celestial Clan wouldn’t face any danger even without a Clan Leader.
Tian Lin steered the ship slowly toward the Celestial Clan…
On the shore where Ning Fan and his group had departed, a graceful figure stood quietly gazing out at the distant sea, with an older figure behind her.
These two were Xu Xiaoqing and the Celestial Clan’s Great Elder, Tian Xuan.
“Miss, I think Mr. Ning and the others will not return today.” Tian Xuan sighed and said to Xu Xiaoqing: “You’ve been waiting here for two days.”
“I must wait until Ning Fan comes back!” Xu Xiaoqing said stubbornly.
“But it’s already evening now.” Tian Xuan looked at the gradually setting sun in the distance, sighed helplessly, and said: “I don’t think they’ll make it back today. Let’s go back and rest, Miss.”
“If you continue like this, your body might not handle it.”
However, Xu Xiaoqing didn’t listen to Tian Xuan. She continued to stand there looking into the distance, quietly waiting for Ning Fan and the others to return.
The sea shimmered with golden ripples under the sunlight.
Time passed by the minute, and the sky gradually darkened.
Xu Xiaoqing felt a bit disappointed: “Ning Fan, why haven’t you come back yet?!”
Just as Xu Xiaoqing considered heading back, she suddenly spotted a small black dot on the distant sea!
“What’s that?!” Xu Xiaoqing hurriedly widened her eyes to look at the black dot.
Tian Xuan, standing behind Xu Xiaoqing, was also surprised when he heard Xu Xiaoqing’s words, and he quickly looked into the distance.
Although Tian Xuan was older, his powerful strength meant his eyesight was much better than Xu Xiaoqing’s. Xu Xiaoqing could only see a small black dot, but Tian Xuan could clearly see it was a ship!
“Miss, that’s a ship! It’s a ship!” Tian Xuan said excitedly.
“Ning Fan! It must be Ning Fan and the others coming back!” Xu Xiaoqing said excitedly, her eyes slightly reddened with emotion.
“It must be Mr. Ning and the others.” Tian Xuan nodded in agreement, as he clearly recognized the ship as the one built by the Celestial Clan!
…
“We’re almost there, Mr. Ning.” Tian Wu said respectfully, standing at the door of Ning Fan’s rest area.
“Alright, I understand.” Ning Fan’s voice came from inside the rest area.
After informing Ning Fan, Tian Wu returned to the front deck.
Gazing at the distant shore, Tian Wu felt relieved.
“It’s strange, there seems to be someone on the shore ahead.” Tian Lin, with his keen eyesight, immediately noticed two figures standing on the shore ahead, although the darkening sky made it difficult to discern who they were.
“Could they have known we’d arrive now?” Tian Wu was also somewhat puzzled.
“Not quite sure, maybe Mr. Ning informed them in advance.” Tian Lin guessed. After all, Ning Fan was not an ordinary person; it was possible he had a special way of notifying them.
“Probably.” Tian Wu nodded, agreeing with Tian Lin’s thoughts.
“Quick, let’s head over!” Tian Wu said excitedly. Although he hadn’t helped Ning Fan directly, he assisted in defeating the Sea Clan, marking him as a significant contributor!
“Alright!” Tian Lin nodded, and he sped up the ship toward the shore.
“Huh? It’s the Great Elder and Miss!” As the ship approached, Tian Lin clearly saw the two people standing on the shore and said in surprise: “They actually came personally to welcome us?!”
“It’s definitely to welcome Mr. Ning.” Tian Wu gave his partner a look and said helplessly: “There’s no way it’s to welcome us!”
“Hehe, you’re right.” Hearing Tian Wu’s words, Tian Lin realized his mistake and said with a bitter smile. He had gotten so excited earlier that he forgot about Ning Fan on the ship.
“Ning Fan!”
As the ship neared the shore, Xu Xiaoqing could no longer contain her excitement. She waved her arms and shouted.
Sitting in the rest area meditating, Ning Fan heard Xu Xiaoqing’s voice. He opened his eyes instantly, murmuring with some confusion: “Is that the voice of that little girl? Strange, why is she on the shore?”
