Of course, I wouldn't reveal anything about bringing people onto the ship.
Feng Lin shot a cold glance at Han Qing. "Don't get too smug. Even if you manage to board the ship, what difference does it make? With your talents, can you really secure the top position?"
Han Qing scoffed, "Oh please, as if you're any better." He then clapped Qin Feng on the shoulder. "Do you know who this is? Jie Yuan from Qingshan Mansion. I think his talents surpass yours."
"What? Jie Yuan?" Feng Lin was taken aback. Upon seeing how young Qin Feng was, jealousy flared up in his eyes.
He shot a strange look at Qin Feng before turning away and directly leaving the ship. It seemed he had no intention of attending the Dragon Palace Banquet anymore.
"Hey, why did he leave?" Han Qing asked in surprise.
Qin Feng watched Feng Lin's retreating figure, narrowing his eyes. He had just sensed a strong wave of malice directed at him. A glint of coldness flashed in his eyes; it seemed he was preparing to make a move against him.
"Qin Feng," Nie Rong said solemnly, "you need to be careful. The way he looked at you was off."
Nie Rong was no ordinary person; he was an old fox in the political arena and immediately recognized something was amiss with Feng Lin.
Han Qing's expression changed, and he looked at Qin Feng with guilt. "I'm sorry, Brother Qin. It seems I've caused you some trouble."
Qin Feng waved his hand dismissively. "It's fine. I actually hope he comes looking for trouble."
"Ah?" Han Qing stared at Qin Feng in shock, momentarily speechless.
Nie Rong sighed and gave Qin Feng a complex look but said nothing more.
Nie Xiaoqian and Qin Wan'er seemed to understand the situation as they each took hold of Qin Feng's hand.
Qin Feng smiled at them. "It's alright; don't you believe in my abilities?"
Han Qing blinked in confusion. "What's going on? Is this some kind of show of affection?"
Just then, someone shouted as the boat began to set sail.
They were still in a daze when they realized that the ship had sunk beneath the water. Strangely, a faint layer of Azure Light appeared around the large vessel, isolating it from the outside world.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Nie Xiaoqian exclaimed as she watched the fish swimming around the ship in awe.
Qin Wan'er and Zhu Ling also widened their eyes; the scene before them was too astonishing to comprehend.
Zhu Fang showed an excited expression, while Nie Rong gazed curiously at the underwater world.
Qin Feng, however, remained relatively calm. He had been in the sea before, so this didn’t seem like such a big deal to him. His gaze shifted toward a specific direction—the Dragon Palace.
His snake-like pupils flickered with surprise as he felt an overwhelming surge of Destiny Energy above the Dragon Palace. It had formed a vast sea of azure clouds, representing the collective Destiny Energy of a powerful force. This indicated that the Dongting Lake Dragon Lord's influence was indeed formidable.
Black Mountain also possessed some Destiny Energy, but it was pitifully small—only about the size of a water jug and colored orange. The Black Python had also absorbed a bit of Destiny Energy, but it was hardly significant; consuming that small amount only slightly increased its strength. Better than nothing, though.
A greedy look flashed in his eyes as he thought about how beneficial it would be if all that Destiny Energy could be consumed by the Black Python. It might even transform into a True Dragon. Of course, that was just a fleeting thought; the Black Python could only absorb Destiny Energy that belonged to Qin Feng himself.
He let out a slow breath, feeling an intensified desire to establish his own power. Black Mountain was a great place, connected to Difu. If he could fully control Difu, how much Destiny Energy would he gain?
At this moment, Qin Feng's ambition began to grow as he fixated on the Destiny Energy hovering above the Dragon Palace.
Suddenly, the ship shook violently and came to a halt—the Dragon Palace had arrived.
