Free Web NovelChapter 2342: Chapter 2344: The Mysterious Airship Reappears
Sofia and Avril’s conversation, of course, could not escape Feng Jun’s perception.
However, he wasn’t very concerned about this kind of reminder behavior. A person is just how they are; can reminders really change anything?
What surprised him a bit was that Avril actually had such a good impression of Porsche.
After the two women arrived, Sofia first greeted him, "Master, the people are here."
Feng Jun waved his hand, "You go take a shower, Avril can stay."
Sofia didn’t have the common body odor seen in Caucasian women. After exercising for a while, the sweat from her body even had a bit of a milky smell. Feng Jun thought about their conversation and remembered that Westerners are used to showering in the morning. freёwebnoѵel.com
Sofia heard this and looked at him with a hint of doubt, nodded, and turned around to enter the room.
Avril talked casually, but when she thought about how the pair of one man and two women could decide whether she could cultivate, she couldn’t help but feel a little nervous and awe, emotions that didn’t need Sofia’s reminder at all.
Feng Jun sent a Divine Sense to Little Celestial Master. Both of them remained motionless, shoulders not swaying, slowly levitating, suspended more than a foot high, looking down at Avril without speaking.
Avril was originally very nervous, but seeing them rise into the air, surprise suddenly overcame her nervousness.
She moved her mouth, seeming as if she was about to ask a question, but in the end, she didn’t say anything.
Feng Jun and Little Celestial Master also didn’t speak, just maintained an expressionless look as they looked down.
This was not just a demonstration of cultivation level; it also created considerable pressure on the other person.
However, Avril actually didn’t react at all, just stood there obediently.
Feng Jun and Tang Wenji applied pressure for about two minutes and found it ineffective, so they floated around her body once more before landing again—this was also signaling to her that no tools were used.
Actually, their actions seemed a bit redundant to Avril. In her mind, Sofia could directly bring down Thunder Punishment, so Feng Jun being able to fly wasn’t really surprising.
Yet Zhong Lijing watched them with a strong desire: "When will I be able to fly?"
But she also knew that the Little Celestial Master could fly because she had reached Innate. For her to fly like this, she would have to wait until breaking through to the outside world—even Zhang Caixin hasn’t broken through this realm yet.
Feng Jun landed on the ground and still said nothing. After waiting a minute, he released a thought to ask Avril in her mind, "Do you understand the principle of ’the law is not easily passed’?"
Asking in the Sea of Knowledge meant there were not many language barriers, and Feng Jun’s English was quite good, precisely conveying his meaning.
Avril was frightened by this way of communication, her entire body shook, and then she stammered in Chinese, "I know, sect martial arts... cannot be casually passed on."
Feng Jun nodded and spoke out loud, "Alright, since you know, I won’t say anything else. Sofia strongly recommended you, so you are the second foreign race to be able to cultivate Daoist methods. Don’t betray her trust."
He said this in Chinese. Since she understood, he didn’t bother with other languages.
Avril’s eyes turned blank for half a minute before she stammered, "I... I can’t fully understand, sorry, Master."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Lijing couldn’t help but translate Feng Jun’s words—being a top student and a teacher herself, this bit of translation was no problem.
But after she translated it, Feng Jun spoke again, "You need to study more Chinese. How can you not understand Huaxia’s language if you learn Huaxia’s Daoist methods? It’s not good for your cultivation... Moreover, you don’t have the qualification to call me Master yet, learn from Sofia first."
This long series of words was hard for Avril to understand, so she looked to Zhong Lijing for help.
Zhong Lijing smartened up this time, glanced at Feng Jun, and seeing no reaction from him, translated it again, not forgetting to add, "Not everyone is qualified to have the boss as their master."
Avril nodded after listening, obediently responding, "Okay, I understand."
After a while, Sofia was still not out, and Avril cautiously asked, "I heard Mr. Feng... was the former Porsche?"
Feng Jun responded blandly, "If you have something to ask, go to Sofia, she will naturally tell you what she can."
Now he understood the stance that a superior should have, which is to maintain a good distance: simply put, be cautious of nine words—far away leads to resentment, close leads to disdain.
Then he swiped his mobile phone, and indeed, Avril’s qualifications were average—even a bit stronger than ordinary attributes, but just a bit. It’s far from being comparable to Zhang Caixin and Yu Qingzhu, and even slightly inferior to Feng Jing.
However, since cultivation through Incense Fire Ascension doesn’t rely heavily on aptitude, as long as there are resources, it’s fine.
Avril, who is also quite young, felt a bit hurt by his cold demeanor, but she dared not say much. After a while, she timidly said, "In the future, I will work hard to learn Chinese."
Feng Jun, after a while, nodded slowly, "Hmm."
Soon after, Sofia finally finished her shower and came out, her long hair still damp, "Boss, how did it go?"
"You can decide your cultivation time," Feng Jun replied casually, "I hope your choice is right."
Sofia immediately understood and looked at Avril, "I’ll first go with the boss to take care of some things. You’ll handle the Daoist Temple affairs for now. Once I get back, I’ll teach you the path of cultivation, okay?"
"Of course, no problem," Avril replied cautiously, not daring to say much.
"I’ll first take her to sort out the necessary things," Sofia glanced at Feng Jun, saw him wave his hand, and then left with Avril. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
The Little Celestial Master took a look at Feng Jun and pondered, "Boss, what’s the deal with you caring whether she showers or not?"
"You always overthink," Feng Jun replied irritably, "Many people in the West are used to showering in the morning, and she just finished exercising."
The Little Celestial Master winked at him and joked, "I thought you were planning to teach her real yoga."
Zhong Lijing blushed at the comment, clearly understanding its meaning.
Feng Jun shook his head and replied casually, "Stop talking nonsense, she’s practicing real yoga."
"I wasn’t talking nonsense," the Little Celestial Master replied calmly, with a relaxed expression, "She’s about to establish her sect, it’s time to exert some control over her, right, boss?"
Feng Jun couldn’t tell if she was serious or joking, so he replied nonchalantly, "Do you think it’s ancient times? I’m always against arranged alliances... Alright, let’s drop this topic."
He didn’t want to mention it, but the problem was... it seemed Sofia also had this misunderstanding.
An hour later, after explaining everything, Sofia returned to her small courtyard, "Rest for the night and leave, or go now?"
"Let’s go now," Feng Jun calculated the time, "It should still be dawn in Gaul, just right to head over."
The purpose of his visit was the Foggy City in Britain, but before that, having never been to Britain, he planned to go via Gaul, conveniently using the long-missing warship.
The appearance of the warship, of course, was also to draw some attention away from Huaxia. Over the next two days, the warship frequently appeared over various European countries. Although it always operated at night, several nations still spotted it.
Thus, reports of the "mysterious ghost flying machine" surfaced again in newspapers, being reported by multiple nations. Some even captured blurry photos, claiming it was the mysterious aircraft that had appeared a few times two years ago.
Someone even tagged Ivan’s country on Twitter, saying, "An insider claims this is Ivan’s country’s latest developed aircraft, what do you think?"
The administrator managing Twitter for Ivan’s country humorously replied, "What do we think? We see it on Twitter!"
Unlike the last appearance of the warship, this time it appeared multiple times over two nights and didn’t hide its trajectory, showcasing its excellent performance. Teutonic, Gaul, and Britain even obtained considerable data related to it.
What’s particularly crucial is that it disappears into the sea each time, indicating its ability to both fly and dive. Before, many European countries considered this a rumor, but now it’s confirmed.
Hearing this, the people of Mai Nation were also anxious. They quickly sought related information from European nations, considering it an ally’s duty, forgetting that when they had the information before, they withheld it from their allies.
Subsequently, someone in Britain analyzed that this kind of aircraft is likely manufactured by Ivan’s country — Huaxia shouldn’t have the capability, and Ivan’s country might be doing so to gather information while Mai Nation is in trouble.
However, quickly, Ivan and Mai Nation communicated on the matter, each issuing statements suggesting that whoever possesses this kind of flying machine technology should share it for humankind’s common benefit.
This implies that both sides denied owning such technology.
But this kind of statement... is to be taken lightly, evidenced by the lack of a joint statement, indicating limited mutual trust.
Regardless, despite the tension between Mai Nation and Ivan over the unresolved submarine incident, effective communication channels still exist in addressing significant issues.
With this statement, the impact of the mysterious aircraft was slightly diminished, but obviously, many are still focusing on the matter, though media coverage is sparse.
Three days later, the financial forum finally opened in the Foggy City.
