Chapter 217 Boarding the Ship
"Why is Xiao Qinghua here and on the Lingwang ship?" Chen Guan was surprised.

The last time he went to Shengdeng Mountain was not long ago. How come Xiao Qinghua, who had not yet completed his apprenticeship, ran to the secret realm of Beimang Mountain and went to such a dangerous place?

Chen Guan looked at the time and saw that there were still several hours before the shift change, so he took out two bottles of high-quality Qi-replenishing pills, threw one to Lao Mo and the other to Lian Jiuyue.

"Help me cover my shift. I saw someone I know and I'll go over to see him." Chen Guan said as he turned over and walked down from the watchtower.

He took off his uniform as he walked, went into the house to change into his own clothes, put on a hat and a mask, and went out to the Lingwang ship.

Jiu Yue was overjoyed when she saw that what Chen Guan gave her was actually the Qi-boosting Pill from Yuanqi Hall. "It's a piece of cake. Leave it to me."

When Chen Guan arrived at King Ling's ship, Xiao Qinghua had already boarded the ship and her figure could no longer be seen.

Chen Guan looked around and saw that most of the people who had not yet boarded the boat had covered their faces, so he couldn't tell who was who.

"I didn't see Fenghuaxueyue and the others. I wonder if they came with Xiaoqinghua." Chen Guan frowned and thought.

Chen Guan waited for a while, but almost everyone who came had already boarded the boat, and he didn't see Xiao Qinghua come out again.

"It's your turn." The crew member, dressed in black and wearing a black gauze hat, said to Chen Guan in a deep voice.

Chen Guan hesitated for a moment, then took out a bottle of Qi-boosting pills and handed it to the crew member. He whispered, "A friend of mine just went up there, and I want to say goodbye to her. Could you please help me call her? She doesn't have to get off the boat. I'll just say a few words to her from below. Please."

The crew member took a look at the pill bottle that Chen Guan had stuffed in, uncorked it, sniffed it, and then put it directly into his arms. However, he only said in a cold voice: "This matter is not my responsibility. If you want to get on board, you must accept the test. If you don't want to get on board, you can leave now."

"Brother, please do me a favor." Chen Guan stuffed another bottle of Qi-replenishing pills into the crew member's hand.

This time, the crew member didn't answer. He just said again with a cold face: "I don't have the authority to call for help. It can't be done."

"Then can I go up and say a few words to her?" Chen Guan did not take back the Qi-replenishing pill, but stuffed it into his hand again.

The crew member took the pill bottle calmly and said, "Go ahead."

Chen Guan hurriedly got on the boat. He was afraid that Xiao Qinghua had been abducted here, otherwise why would she come to such a dangerous place alone?
After entering the cabin, he saw Xiao Qinghua as expected. She was standing alone in the cabin. Just as Chen Guan had imagined, Fenghuaxueyue and Lianhua Guanzhu were not here, which made Chen Guan feel depressed.

"Xiao Qinghua, it's me." Chen Guan walked to Xiao Qinghua and spoke to her in a low voice.

"Brother Guan..." Xiao Qinghua recognized Chen Guan as soon as she heard his voice, even though he was wearing a hat and a mask.

Chen Guan stopped her, pulled her to a deserted corner, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

"My master asked me to come here and gamble with a mysterious spirit called the Eight Great Kings, and win something from it." Xiao Qinghua said.

Chen Guan thought, "The Eighth King must be the secret spirit who likes gambling, right?"

"Who brought you here?" Chen Guan frowned slightly. Since someone like the master of Lotus Temple asked Xiao Qinghua to come here, he must have his own plans. He would not let Xiao Qinghua take risks for no reason.

"I came here by myself. My master said that I have been practicing with him for a while and it is time for me to come out and gain experience on my own." Xiao Qinghua said.

"He asked you to come here by yourself? Then do you know how to gamble?" Chen Guan was shocked. Why didn't he know that Xiao Qinghua could gamble before?

The gambling game here wasn't so easy to participate in. If they couldn't win, wouldn't Xiao Qinghua be stuck in the trap? Could it be that the Lotus Temple Master was so confident that he could rescue Xiao Qinghua even if she was detained?

"No." Xiao Qinghua shook her head.

Chen Guan's expression became even more strange. Xiao Qinghua, who couldn't even gamble, was sent here to participate in the gambling game of the Eight Kings. What on earth did the Lotus Temple Master want to do?
"You know that once you participate in this gambling game, you can't get out if you can't win, right?" Chen Guan asked with a frown.

"I don't know. Master didn't tell me." Xiao Qinghua was also surprised.

"Then what did your master say?" Chen Guan had no choice but to let Xiao Qinghua speak for herself.

"He didn't say much. He just said there was a mysterious spirit here called the Eight Great Kings, and it had something that he wanted me to take back if I won." Xiao Qinghua told everything she knew.

Chen Guan could tell that she really knew nothing.

Looking at the innocent little Qinghua, Chen Guan really didn't know what to say. She really had no guard against others, otherwise she wouldn't have taken so many blames for Chen Guan when she was a child.

"Brother Guan, don't worry. Master asked me to come here, so there will definitely be no problem." Xiao Qinghua saw that Chen Guan was a little worried and said quickly.

Chen Guan had no other choice but to hope that the master of Lotus Temple had made arrangements in advance. Otherwise, if Xiao Qinghua lost, he would not be able to rescue Xiao Qinghua.

The gap in strength is there. The Eight Kings can dominate the Yellow Springs River. They must be the top combat forces of the Three Awakenings, or even secret gods. With their strength, they can escape on land, but who knows where the Spirit King's ship will take them.

If he were really surrounded by a group of Three Awakenings Mystical Spirits and practitioners on the river, he might not be able to escape.

"You'd better be careful." Chen Guan prepared to get off the boat first and make plans later.

He will be standing guard at the outpost here. When the Spirit King's ship comes next time, if he doesn't see Xiao Qinghua coming back, he can go to the master of Lotus Temple to report the news. The master of Lotus Temple should have a way to rescue Xiao Qinghua.

Chen Guan came to the side of the boat and was about to get off, but was stopped by the crew on the boat.

"I just told the crew below that I just came up to talk to my friend and will go down now." Chen Guan took out another bottle of pills and handed it over.

"Once you're on board, no one is allowed to get off. That's the rule." The crew member said coldly without even looking at the pill that Chen Guan handed over.

Chen Guan looked for the crew member who had just let him on board, but he couldn't find him.

The crew members here all dressed the same, and they were all human practitioners. Plus, it was dark, so it was difficult to tell who was who.

Chen Guan originally thought that since they were human beings, they could talk to each other, but who knew that this crew member was completely unmoved.

"The ship is about to sail, go into the cabin, and you are not allowed to leave the cabin after sailing." The crew member said as he pushed Chen Guan. The force was so great that with Chen Guan's physical fitness, he couldn't help but take several steps back after being pushed lightly by him.

"With such physical strength... could it be that these crew members are also practitioners of the third awakening..." Chen Guan was secretly shocked.

"Brother Guan..." Xiao Qinghua came over and supported Chen Guan.

"I'm fine." Chen Guan stopped Xiao Qinghua who wanted to argue with the crew member and pulled Xiao Qinghua towards the cabin.
