"Huh? When did you come down?" Ningxu was also very confused. She didn't hear any noise here.

Third Master: "It's been a while. I saw you meditating, so I'm waiting for you at the next table."

Behind the Third Master, Old He looked at Ning Xu with a kind smile.

Ningxu was helped down from the table by the Third Master, and the three of them sat down at the table. After waiting for a while, Mr. Mo and Lady Bai also came down, and they started eating.

Everyone at this table changed into new clothes almost at the same time, and it seemed that they all attached great importance to today's journey.

On the dock, a group of people stood there, Mr. He and Mr. Mo stood with their hands behind their backs, admiring the beautiful scenery by the river. Except for Mr. San and Lady Bai, everyone else was open-mouthed in surprise. In front of them was an extremely huge ship, almost as big as a giant ship on the sea.

Ningxu said in shock, "This ship is so big?!"

Mo Xun: “You haven’t seen it?”

Mo Xun's words sounded like he was looking down on Ning Xu for not having seen this scene before, but his wide-open mouth still exposed himself.

Mo Xi: "You and Third Sister have been wandering the world for so many years, and you've never seen such a big ship?"

Mo Xun: "We never bring servants with us when we go out, so who would want to take such a big boat?"

Ningxu: "Isn't this a huge fuss?!"

She originally thought that the Third Master would be traveling in a low-key manner this time. After all, they were just an ordinary convoy in the first half of the journey. Who knew that the fleet would be so large when they got to the river?

The Third Master's boat was parked at the dock, completely covering the dock. The width of the dock was not even one-third of the width of the boat, which attracted people to stop and watch. The people standing underneath were smaller than the mast of the boat.

The Third Master looked at the fleet with satisfaction. The river was different from the land. They needed special boatmen and guards to rescue people quickly if someone accidentally fell off the boat. The river was turbulent, so they needed professionals to escort them, so the fleet was large to accommodate so many people.

"Get on board! Get ready to go!"

At the Third Master's command, Ningxu shot out like an arrow and headed straight for the boarding gate.

Mo Xun liked to join in this kind of unreasonable fun, and he ran wildly behind Ning Xu.

Ningxu turned back in shock, "Why are you running so fast?"

Mo Xun caught up with Ning Xu and ran side by side with her, "Then why are you running first?"

Ningxu glanced at him and suddenly sped up, leaving Mo Xun behind. "Of course I have to go up first and pick the biggest room to live in! First come, first served!"

Mo Xun reacted, "You scheming ghost, wait for me!"

Seeing them like this, Mo Xiao also jogged to catch up with them.

Mo Xi rolled his eyes when he saw them like this, "Speechless, a bunch of little kids."

After saying that, Mo Xi followed Mo Xiao at a pace slightly faster than the others.

The few of them caused Mr. Mo and Mr. He to laugh out loud in the back. It was true that no matter how mature these youngsters were, they would become childish when traveling with like-minded friends.

The Third Master had no requirements for the room, and he was the emperor, so his room must have been specially reserved. But he was worried that his Meng'er couldn't get it from them, so he hurried over to do Ningxu justice.

After several people grabbed a room, Ningxu threw his luggage in the room and couldn't wait to go to the bow of the ship.

"Ah~~~~~" Ningxu opened her mouth at the bow of the boat, letting the wind blow into her mouth, which was both comfortable and fun.

On the river, there are three small escort boats on each side of a large ship to protect the safety of the ship.

Mo Xun and Mo Xiao stood on each side. Mo Xun couldn't help but sigh, "This scenery is so beautiful. The river is endless, and we are so high above the river!"

Mo Xi packed up her things and walked out, standing next to Mo Xiao, "Xiao Liu, you look like you've never been on a boat before."

Ningxu closed her mouth and said, "Of course I've been on one, but never on such a big wooden boat."

Mo Xun: "Wooden boat? Aren't all boats made of wood? Xiaoliu, have you ever ridden in a boat made of other things?"

Ningxu smiled awkwardly. She was used to speaking freely around the Third Master, and she really couldn't control her mouth. "Uh... no, what else can a boat be made of if not wood? Mo Xun, are you stupid?"

Mo Xi also replied with disdain, "That's right."

Mo Xun: Huh?

The four of them sat on the bow, enjoying the breeze and chatting from time to time. In the end, no one was satisfied with each other, but no one wanted to leave, and they were reluctant to leave the scenery on the river.

The Third Master looked at the four stubborn people at the bow and said, "Meng'er! Come and have dinner!"

There was a large round table on the deck, but the table was not high, and everyone sat on mats to eat.

Ningxu: "As expected, only when the chef has a kitchen can he show his talent. Finally, I can eat exquisite pastries instead of eating cakes."

The Third Master looked at Ning Xu, "Meng'er, that's your favorite cookie!"

The Third Master looked at Ningxu with a resentful expression, worried that Ningxu would get bored with the old and fall in love with the new.

Ningxu felt a little guilty, "I like it, but I still like it. Let's try something different."

As she spoke, Ningxu picked up a piece of cake and put it in her mouth, biting off half of it.

The Third Master was still feeling resentful. He took half a piece of cake from Ningxu's hand and put it into his mouth to chew it to vent his anger. "This is taking up space. Eat it after you finish your meal."

Ningxu: “Oh…”

Ningxu had no choice. Who knew that there would be people watching her when she ate in another continent?

The others at the table were already used to the interaction between the two, and all lowered their heads to eat their meals. Only Noble Bai was holding the bowl in one hand and the chopsticks tightly in the other.

What my sister and grandfather said was indeed true! This slave girl is a foxy girl who seduced the emperor's mind! She is so arrogant now, and when she returns to the capital, the Bai family will rule the world! Then she will make sure that this slave girl dies without a burial place! His Majesty is obviously hers, and she is the concubine in the palace. How could a maid with no name and no status catch the eye of His Majesty? She must have used some seductive tricks.

And the Mo family is so stupid that they treat her as a guest of honor. It's ridiculous and tasteless!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The resentment in Bai Guiren was about to burst out of the sky. However, no one else at the table took her seriously. She was like a dispensable, transparent person.

Ningxu sat sideways, leaning on the Third Master's shoulder, touching her stomach with great satisfaction, "Woo~ I'm so full."

Mo Xi: "Xiao Liu, you're full, why don't you practice sword fighting to help digest the food?"

Ningxu sat up after hearing this and said, "Okay!"

The two were in a good mood, so the others made room for them. The big round table on the deck had been moved away, and everyone sat farther away from them. The table was replaced with a small table in front of each person, with tea and cakes on it, and a large open space in the middle of the deck.

The two men stood face to face and sparred with the guards' swords. Mo Xi concentrated first and launched an attack, while Ning Xu always had a smile on her face, blocking Mo Xi's every move.

Mo Xi was very serious, and he followed the sword techniques carefully for every move. After resisting Ning Xu's moves, Mo Xi was pleasantly surprised to find that his martial arts seemed to have improved greatly, and his offensive became stronger.
