Chapter 338 Dai Yun'er
The sky was a clear, cloudless expanse of azure stretching from one end of the sea to the other, as if the entire dome had been washed clean.
Below is the deep blue sea, its surface shimmering with golden light under the sun. Occasionally, a school of flying fish leaps out of the waves and then disappears back into the water.
The enormous cruise ship resembled a mobile steel fortress, its sturdy bow cleaving through the thick sea surface, sending up white, snow-like waves on either side.
Five days have passed since they left the port of Tianhai City. For the past five days, all they have seen is the sea, with not a single piece of land in sight. What awaits them now is a long voyage that will last for more than two months.
Fortunately, this giant ocean liner is extremely well-equipped with various places for spiritual practice and entertainment, so it doesn't feel boring or unbearable.
Tonight, a formal banquet is being prepared on the cruise ship, as an opportunity for the exchange groups from Douluo Continent and Star Luo Continent to get to know each other.
As evening approached and before it was completely dark, the cruise ship's staff quickly and efficiently completed the setup of the banquet hall.
Then, people from both countries began to enter the venue one after another. The men changed into sharp suits, while the women wore elegant evening gowns of various colors, and the originally empty hall gradually became lively.
The banquet was simple, without any lengthy speeches or special ceremonies; it was simply a venue for people from both countries to interact freely.
Huo Yuhao, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and Xu Xiaoyan sat at an inconspicuous round table in the corner of the banquet hall.
They deliberately chose this secluded and quiet spot, chatting casually while observing the lively scene of people clinking glasses around them.
The military and political leaders from both countries gathered in small groups, holding wine glasses and wearing polite smiles. They clinked glasses and chatted, appearing harmonious, as if they were old friends reuniting after many years.
But Huo Yuhao's mental strength was so sharp that he clearly sensed countless probing glances and impeccable diplomatic rhetoric behind those smiles.
He knew that these people were all smiles and laughter on the surface, but in reality they were just being polite and probing each other's intentions.
Hypocrisy in the adult world may have long become a skill that these politicians must master, as natural as breathing.
The teenagers from both countries' exchange groups sat separately at several tables on the other side of the hall, seemingly none of them intending to cross over and exchange ideas.
"Whoosh!"
A figure moved like a gust of wind through the small groups of people chatting in the banquet hall, and finally sat down steadily in the empty chair next to Tang Wulin. It was Xie Xie.
His face was filled with barely concealed excitement; he had just gone to gather information.
After sitting down, Xie Xie immediately leaned forward, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously to the group, "I just followed my teacher around and got a pretty good idea of the situation of both delegations."
"7
"The people from our Federation this time are no ordinary individuals. Look over there."
Everyone looked in the direction Xie Xie raised his chin slightly and saw several important figures sitting around the most conspicuous large round table in the center of the banquet hall, whose aura was obviously different from the others.
Xie Xie lowered his voice and introduced them as if they were old friends: "You should all know the middle-aged man in the middle wearing a dark blue suit and a silver-gray tie. He is Pan Wen, the current Secretary-General of the Federation."
"The one on the right in military uniform is Lieutenant General Koku of the Federal Army, from the Central Army Corps. I heard that his unit was in charge of security for this inspection team."
"The woman on the left is even more extraordinary; she's Tang Liyue, the fifteenth War God of the War God Temple—"
Xie Xie introduced the important figures from both countries one by one. As a disciple of the head of the Tang Clan's Min Hall, intelligence gathering was a skill he needed to learn.
After introducing the bigwigs in the political and military circles, Xie Xie turned his attention to the younger generation in the exchange group.
He first turned his head and pointed to a table to their left, where several boys and girls of similar age were sitting.
"In the past, for a delegation of this level of exchange between the two countries, the representative of the Federation's academy would naturally be Shrek."
At this point, Xie Xie's voice suddenly stopped, and the excitement that had been on his face vanished instantly.
Upon hearing the mention of the now-defunct Shrek Academy, the group's spirits immediately dampened, as they had all once been students of Shrek Academy.
However, half a year was enough time for them to learn to sort out their feelings. After a brief silence, Xie Xie took a deep breath and continued, "Shrek Academy is gone, so this time the Federation's academy representative has been changed to Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."
"The young man sitting over there is called Long Chen. He was also on the list of young geniuses. It is said that his martial soul is the Holy Dragon of Light, and his strength is quite remarkable."
"The other two are Xue Liushuang and Weng Daimin, who are also outstanding students of this year's class at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."
After introducing his own group, Xie Xie turned his gaze to an area further away in the banquet hall: "That's the Monster Academy group from the Star Luo delegation over there."
Before setting off, they had all done some research on the Star Luo Continent and naturally knew the name of this monster academy.
From its inception, this academy has been modeled after Shrek Academy, with the same principle of "only accepting monsters and not ordinary people." All the students who can enter Monster Academy are top geniuses selected from among the younger generation of the Star Luo Continent.
Xie Xie was getting into the swing of things when he lowered his voice and began to comment on the clothing, appearance, and demeanor of each of the Monster Academy students.
However, he suddenly stopped after saying only a few words.
Suddenly, a girl stood up at the table in the distance.
Her movements were unhurried, her skirt swaying gently behind her, her gaze passing through the small groups of people chatting in the banquet hall, and looking straight at their corner.
The girl looked to be about their age, with long, golden hair as bright as sunlight flowing smoothly over her shoulders, and a few strands falling beside her ears, making her delicate and bright face appear even whiter and more like porcelain.
What is most striking are her deep blue eyes, as clear and bright as the purest sapphires, with an innate nobility and confidence that is evident in her extraordinary background.
Xie Xie's eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, but the rest of his comment got stuck in his throat.
Watching the blonde girl walk towards them step by step, Xie Xie muttered to himself, "She—she seems to be coming this way. Is she coming for me?"
However, the girl stopped steadily in front of Huo Yuhao. Her azure eyes swept over Xie Xie, Tang Wulin, Xu Xiaoyan, and Gu Yue, and finally settled firmly on Huo Yuhao's face.
The girl's lips curled up slightly, revealing a bright and radiant smile.
She gently clasped her hands in front of her, gave a slight bow in a standard noble greeting, and said in a clear and melodious voice like a silver bell: "Hello, I am Dai Yun'er from the Star Luo Empire."
Seeing Dai Yun'er take the initiative to introduce herself, Tang Wulin and Xu Xiaoyan didn't think much of it, assuming that she was just a young genius from the Star Luo Empire coming over to say hello out of courtesy.
Xie Xie, flattered, straightened his back and put on what he considered to be the most teacherly smile.
However, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly; the other party's surname alone was enough to make him "wary".
In the Star Luo Empire, the surname Dai is the royal family's surname.
Leng Yaozhu had warned him before he left that the Xingluo royal family would approach him on their own initiative. How could they have arrived so quickly?
Dai Yun'er looked at Huo Yuhao, her deep blue eyes filled with undisguised curiosity and scrutiny.
The same bright and confident smile remained on her lips, as if she had done her homework beforehand, as she asked, "You must be Huo Yuhao, the number one Spirit Transformation Master on the Federation's list of young geniuses?"
