Lang Xiaoyao himself didn't know where the Ocean Palace was, so he asked the guard who led the way: "Wang San, where is the Ocean Palace?"
Wang San said respectfully, "Master Xiaoyao, the Palace of the Sea is on the sea, built on a small island controlled by my Lang family, so we must go out to sea by boat."
Lang Xiaoyao said: "So we are on the sea, I always thought we were in the mountains.
That’s right, after all, it’s a fantasy…,… um…”
Lang Xiaoyao spoke too quickly and almost revealed the secret of the Palace of the Sea.
"Ye Li, it's thanks to you that I have the opportunity to visit the Sea Palace this time. I have always been curious about this place, but I have never had the chance to go there."
Lang Xiaoyao turned around and said to Ye Li with a smile.
Ye Li smiled and said, "Since it's all thanks to me, you have to treat me to another meal after I pass the test."
Lang Xiaoyao laughed, hooked his arm around Ye Li's shoulder and said, "If you pass, I'll treat you to ten meals."
After two days of getting along, the relationship between the two has become very good, and it is common to see them hugging each other.
As they chatted and laughed, they soon arrived on a ship of the Lang family.
After the two people got on board, the ship started quickly and sailed away from the port.
Ye Li inadvertently looked up at the sky and saw a black dot hovering above the clouds.
Most people would think that the black spot was just an ordinary goshawk, but Ye Li knew that the one hovering in the clouds was Xiao Qing.
Following the ship, Ye Li and his companions soon arrived at an island deep in the East China Sea. On the island stood a huge stone palace.
"Master Xiaoyao, Master Ye, we have arrived. This is the Palace of the Sea."
The guard next to them reminded the two of them, and then the boat docked near the sea. If they wanted to go ashore, they would need a small boat, after all, there was no dock here.
Sitting in a small boat, Ye Li and Lang Xiaoyao quickly arrived at the island. As soon as they landed, a guard appeared in front of them.
"Please show me your pass token!"
The guard did not become polite when he saw Lang Xiaoyao, but shouted at several people with a serious face.
Lang Xiaoyao and Ye Li naturally did not have a token, so the guard next to them hurriedly took out a token from his arms and handed it to them.
After checking the token, the other party returned it. He looked relaxed, nodded to the three people, and led them towards the stone hall.
Soon, they arrived in front of the stone hall. Ye Li then noticed that there was a small wooden house near the entrance in front of the stone hall.
The guards on the island brought a few people to the door of the cabin. Before they pushed the door open, an old man came out.
Lang Xiaoyao was startled when he saw the old man and said, "Grandpa Qi, it turns out you are here. I was wondering why I haven't seen you in so many years!"
The old man glanced at Lang Xiaoyao, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You are Xiaoyao, Yuesheng's son, you have grown up so fast.
When you were little, you always came to my place to make trouble. Hahaha, now when I think about it, it really seems like it was just yesterday."
Lang Xiaoyao's face suddenly showed an extremely friendly expression, and he went over to hug the old man and said, "Seventh Grandpa, I missed you very much.
I made trouble for you at that time, but every time you caught me you never scolded me. At most you said a few words and then took out some delicious food to coax me.
In fact, every time I go to your place, I deliberately make trouble for you just because I want to eat delicious food.
Then you suddenly disappeared from home. My father said you were helping the family complete a mission. When I hadn’t seen you for a few months, I thought you left because you were scared of my troubles. I even went to you to cry and apologize, but you haven’t come home until now.”
When the old man heard Lang Xiaoyao's words, a very kind look appeared on his face, and he said, "Xiaoyao, your seventh grandfather left to complete a family mission, but later encountered some other things and stayed outside.
In recent years, I have grown older and my cultivation has reached a bottleneck, so I wanted to find a quiet place to practice, so I volunteered to come here to guard the Sea Palace.
Anyway, I can only visit the Palace of the Sea a few times a year, so I have plenty of time to practice here, which is quite pleasant.
By the way, Xiaoyao, why did you follow me here? Who is the person who came to participate in the trial today? Why didn’t I see him? "
As the old man spoke, he looked behind them, but didn't see anyone.
Looking at the puzzled expression on the old man's face, Ye Li knew that the other party must have regarded him as a junior of the Lang family.
Lang Xiaoyao shook the old man's arm, then pointed at Ye Li and said, "Grandpa Qi, you must look carefully. The person who came to take the test today is my friend Ye Li."
The old man was stunned at first, then he looked at Ye Li carefully, his expression was shocked, and he said: "You... you actually have the cultivation level of the Condensation Stage, which family are you from!"
Hearing the old man's words, Ye Li hurriedly bowed and said respectfully: "Hello, senior. I am Ye Li, a disciple of Emperor City."
"Oh, no wonder... No!
Even if you are a disciple of the Imperial City, it is a bit too exaggerated to have reached the Condensation Stage at such a young age!!!"
The old man reacted immediately and exclaimed even louder.
Seeing the old man's reaction, Lang Xiaoyao laughed and said, "How are you, Grandpa Qi? Are you scared? My grandfather said that Ye Li is definitely the strongest among the younger generation.
He took the initiative to join our family with the goal of helping us win the Sea Shark Chase, and I hope he can obtain the status of a guest elder."
Lang Xiaoyao's words made the old man nod unconsciously and said, "Brother is right, this little guy is definitely the best among the younger generation, and it can be said that he is unprecedented.
I have never heard of anyone who can reach the Condensation Stage at his age. He is truly a genius."
Hearing Lang Xiaoyao and the old man praising him, Ye Li felt a little embarrassed. After all, he didn't think he was really a genius. It was Linglong's help that really brought him to this point.
"Well, since you are here to take the test, I won't waste any more time talking. Please follow me into the Sea Palace.
I will protect your life, and if you are unable to defeat your illusions, I will ensure that you are not attacked."
The old man said to the night.
Ye Li nodded and said, "Then I would like to thank you for your care, Senior."
The old man smiled and waved his hand, then took Ye Li into the Palace of the Sea.
Lang Xiaoyao wanted to follow in, but was stopped by the old man, who said, "Xiaoyao, according to the rules, I am the only one who can enter the Ocean Hall besides those who are taking the test. You definitely cannot enter."
