I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years

Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Qianzhou.

Sanzhou River, Yangfeng Ferry.

The Sanzhou River got its name because it flows through three states.

At this moment, a ferry is quietly moored at Yangfeng Ferry.

The boatman is shouting at the top of his voice to attract passers-by, hoping to set sail with a full load of passengers.

A bustling crowd of people was coming and going at the ferry.

There were common people in coarse linen clothes, walking hurriedly.

There were also wealthy businessmen dressed in gorgeous clothes, with extraordinary bearing and leisurely steps.

In this bustling crowd, a refined voice was suddenly heard.

"Brother Li, what a coincidence! Are you also planning to go to Moyun Academy to participate in that event?"

A bookish young scholar said loudly, his excitement difficult to conceal.

"That's right. I didn't expect to meet Brother Chen here at Yangfeng Ferry. How about we go together?"

"So good!"

Just as the captain was preparing to set sail, a voice that was not loud but very penetrating floated over.

"Boatman, wait a moment!"

The sound was like a breeze blowing across the water. Although it was gentle, it was clear in the ears of every person waiting to be ferried across the river, attracting everyone's attention to investigate.

I saw a green cow walking slowly in the distance.

A simple bag was hung on the ox's horns, swaying slowly with the blue ox's steps.

On the cow's back, a young man sat upright.

He is dressed in a green shirt, which blends perfectly with the color of the green ox, as if a pure and otherworldly ink painting is slowly unfolding.

Soon, Yan Xiu rode his green ox leisurely to the ferry.

"Boatman, is there any room left?"

The captain of the ship naturally smiled when he saw that there was business to be done.

"Yes, yes, sir, please come on board, the boat will be sailing soon!"

Without any movement from Yan Xiu, the blue ox stepped onto the ferry with steady steps, as if it understood human nature.

Accompanied by the captain's passionate and loud call, the ferry slowly set off as it drifted leisurely on the water.

Yan Xiu quietly moved to a corner of the boat, avoiding everyone's attention.

[In the 21st year of Jiye, you killed a demon saint while practicing in seclusion, successfully survived a catastrophe, and received rewards: magic weapon, Immortal Slaying Flying Knife]

“I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected gain.”

Yan Xiu chuckled, untied an ancient wine gourd from the ox horn, gently opened the cork, and a mellow wine aroma instantly spread out.

He took a sip of wine leisurely, his eyes immersed in the picturesque scenery on both sides of the river.

At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly came.

The voice was sharp and unpleasant, and contained an undisguised contempt.

"Boatman, is this boat of yours used to carry people or animals? Why did you let a cow travel with us?"

"Tsk tsk, there are still people who travel by riding a cow these days. This really opens my eyes."

Upon hearing the voice, everyone turned their eyes to the person who spoke.

I saw a young man in gorgeous clothes holding a folding fan to cover his mouth and nose, his brows furrowed with disgust.

Upon hearing this, the captain immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, sir. We ferries are not particular about small matters.

If you feel this place is not suitable, I will immediately find you another quiet place, what do you think? "

Adhering to the principle of doing business with integrity, the boatman will naturally not offend any customer.

Facing the captain's response, a look of uncontrollable anger instantly crossed the young man's face.

With a flick of his wrist, he threw a glittering silver ingot into the air, which landed heavily on the deck with a dull thud.

"This man is really an eyesore. I order you to throw him off the boat!"

"This little money is enough to make your boat go back and forth more than ten times. Why don't you do it quickly?"

After saying this, he turned his gaze to Yan Xiu.

In his words, the power of money and the pressure of arrogance intertwined and were directed directly at the boatman.

The silver ingot rolled around on the deck, attracting the attention of people around.

Its dazzling light, along with the young master's arrogance, seemed to become the focus of the entire audience.

"Isn't this Mr. Zhao? I didn't expect to be on the same boat with him."

Someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise, recognizing this notorious young man.

"It turned out to be him!"

"I heard that this person usually behaves arrogantly. After seeing him today, I find that his reputation is well-deserved."

"Silence, my dear brother!"

For a moment, the people around were whispering.

The temptation of silver ingots makes some people stare at them, and their greedy eyes closely follow the trajectory of their rolling.

However, many people showed obvious contempt when glancing at Master Zhao, and were deeply disdainful of his reckless behavior.

More eyes were focused on Yan Xiu.

They looked playful and cheerful, as if they were expecting a good show to start.

As the protagonist, Yan Xiu had a blank expression on his face, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

In the eyes of bystanders, his indifference was naturally misunderstood as being intimidated by Mr. Zhao's powerful aura.

I don't know what to do and can only endure it silently.

The captain looked at the silver ingot with his eyes flickering and his heart was torn between his conscience and his desires.

After hesitating for a moment, the captain turned his gaze away from the silver.

"Mr. Zhao, although I am a commoner, I know right from wrong and understand the bottom line of how to behave in society."

As he spoke, he bowed slightly to Master Zhao, his tone firm.

"Your request is really unreasonable. I am sorry that I cannot comply with your request."

As soon as these words were spoken, a subtle exclamation of admiration was heard from the crowd.

Mr. Zhao felt ashamed after being insulted.

He sneered and stared at the boatman.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it!"

After saying that, he turned away.

Knowing that he had angered Mr. Zhao, the captain could not help but smile bitterly. He could foresee in his heart that after docking, he would face all kinds of retaliation from the other party.

After all, everyone knows that Mr. Zhao has a vengeful nature.

What I did today was undoubtedly a slap in the face to him, and given his character, he would definitely not let it go.

While the captain was secretly worried, Yan Xiu stood up leisurely.

He walked slowly up to the captain, his tone calm but full of approval.

"You do have some backbone."

As he spoke, Yan Xiu walked steadily towards the bow, leaving behind a meaningful remark.

"Everyone on the ship is able to save their lives today because of what you said today."

When the crowd heard this, they all thought that Yan Xiu was deliberately making things mysterious.

Amid the uproar, there was a burst of sneers and ridicule, and it was obvious that people did not agree with his remarks.

"I stick to my moral principles, so I have no regrets about what I did today. But why did the guest say such sarcastic words?"

After hearing Yan Xiu's words, the captain sighed helplessly, with a hint of complaint in his words.

Just as everyone was whispering and laughing at Yan Xiu, something strange happened.

The originally calm river surface suddenly became turbulent, as if it was secretly stirred by a pair of invisible giant hands, causing the water waves to surge and turbulent endlessly.

In an instant, a huge shadow suddenly emerged on the water surface, covering the entire ferry like a dark cloud covering the sun.

Yan Xiu remained calm when he saw this.

He lowered his head slightly, fixed his eyes on the turbulent water, and smiled indifferently.

"How dare you act so presumptuously in front of me, you evil creature?"
