Chapter 564: Seeing Wu De Again
By noon, Ye Wumei drove Fang Bai to the city center for lunch.Lingnan, with a population of over ten million, was much more prosperous than Zhongzhou, famous for its varied snacks throughout Huaxia and countless historical sites.
Ye Wumei took Fang Bai around for food and fun, and as the sun set, she took his hand and brought him to a private port by the sea, saying they should rent a small yacht and go out to sea to enjoy the starry night sky above the waves.
Several dozen yachts of varying sizes were moored near the port, and some romantically inclined couples were pointing and discussing on the shore, seemingly choosing their preferred yacht. They appeared to have the same idea as Ye Wumei, preparing to set sail in the evening for a cozy and romantic journey.
As Fang Bai approached the port, he unexpectedly spotted two familiar faces.y-nine points!"
"Taoist master, why not a full hundred points? How come you deducted that one point?"
Hearing Wu De’s comments, Ye Wumei’s impression of the unseemly and scruffy Fat Taoist greatly improved. Her eyes swept over him as she asked with a smile.
Wu De rubbed his nose and said, "I don’t give you that one point because I don’t want you to become too conceited. A woman, you see, should not be praised too much; otherwise, she might become too full of herself!"
Fang Bai whispered to Ye Wumei the story of how he met Wu De. Learning that this shabby Fat Taoist was actually an Earth Level High Rank Martial Artist, her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
Fang Bai asked, "Brother Wu, instead of busying yourself with your tomb raiding business, what brings you here? Do you also want to enjoy time at sea by yourself? Don’t you get bored alone?"
Upon hearing Fang Bai ask about this, Wu De perked up. He then pulled Fang Bai aside and whispered mysteriously, "Brother Fang, haven’t you heard that some treasure appeared on an island at sea?"
Seeing Fang Bai shake his head, Wu De stamped his foot and sighed, "Brother, you’re really out of the loop, aren’t you? How can you not know about such big news?"
"What kind of treasure?"
Fang Bai’s interest was piqued, knowing that if it caught Wu De’s attention, it certainly wasn’t something ordinary.
Wu De looked around and then spoke in an even lower voice, "It’s said that there’s a Stone Array on that island, and within the array lies the remains of a Martial Artist. It seems that warrior has some kind of treasure on him that has kept his remains intact for a thousand years..."
Fang Bai’s heart skipped a beat, thinking that a Martial Artist capable of setting up a Formation must not be ordinary; it’s very likely that the warrior was a Master who chose to live in seclusion there.
"How do you know that the Martial Artist Relics have been around for a thousand years?"
Fang Bai then asked.
Wu De said, "The first to discover the stone array on that island was a Profound Level Martial Artist from the Ancient Martial World of Huaxia. That Martial Artist found an inscription on a stone stele next to the Formation detailing the name and age of the deceased great warrior. However, the stele didn’t reveal who that person was, what kind of individual he was, or what realm of strength he possessed..."
Pausing for a moment, Wu De continued, "The Martial Artist who discovered the remains on the island tried to enter the Stone Array to see if there were any treasures on the deceased warrior. But the moment he set foot into the Stone Array, he was violently repelled by the Formation; had his reaction not been swift, he might have left his life within the Stone Array."
