Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

As he said this, he leaned forward, then strode forward, running along the rock face until he was about to fall, then did a backflip, like a fish leaping out of the water and falling back in, disappearing into the rocks and quickly reaching the other side...

He leaned out from the rocks to observe the situation in the valley.

The only entrance and exit through which most of the Tang Clan's extraordinary individuals had been thrown into the valley were now being scrambled back in, covered in dust and dirt.

The Tang Clan leader dusted himself off and stood in front of a rock wall.

Directly opposite him was Xu Xin, who was in a more disheveled state.

In the center of the valley is a suspended spindle-shaped object.

It hovers two meters above the ground...

Because it fell at a high speed, even though it didn't hit the rocky ground, the shockwave that followed still shattered the rock, leaving a crater nearly a meter deep and several meters in diameter.

It's incredibly lucky that there were no accidental injuries...

Chapter 246 The New Guest

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the shuttle-shaped object suspended in the air suddenly trembled, and its side opened like a car door, from which several people jumped out one after another.

"How does it feel? Exciting enough?"

Fang Rui put his hands on his hips, turned his head to look at Xu San beside him, and asked for his thoughts.

"Huff...huff...it's a bit too stimulating!"

Xu San clutched his chest, breathing heavily, looking utterly terrified.

On the other side, Tang Wenlong, supporting Zhang Wang, the director of the political education department of Tangmen Martial Arts School, was covered in cold sweat and called out in a panic, "...Teacher! Are you alright?! Teacher? Teacher!"

"N-nothing...it's nothing!" Zhang Wang waved his hand weakly. For an elderly person, the previous speed of movement was quite stimulating, which frightened him so much that his heart stopped for a moment and he almost forgot to breathe.

"Junior brother?" Tang Miaoxing looked somewhat surprised. "How did you get out of... that magic artifact?"

His gaze fell on the rhombus-shaped object. After searching for a moment without finding a suitable adjective, he simply referred to it as a magical artifact, and then asked, "What is that?"

“A… magical artifact.” Zhang Wang gently stroked his chest, calming his pounding heart, and patted Tang Wenlong with his other hand, indicating that he would explain the rest.

Tang Wenlong released his hand, no longer supporting Zhang Wang. He met the principal and others' gazes for a moment, coughed twice, and began to explain: "Its name is Flying Ship. It is a magical artifact that can fly, and flies at an extremely fast speed. The interior space of the artifact is very spacious, about the size of the new campus, excluding the cockpit."

He paused for a moment, seemingly choosing his words, before continuing, "In the commodity classification of Biyou Village, it is a private car, and the price is somewhat... expensive."

"Is it expensive? I think the price is reasonable." Fang Rui, who was standing next to him, had a different opinion.

'Of course you think it's cheap, after all, you're the one who gets the money.'

Tang Wenlong seemed to want to roll his eyes, but considering that there were quite a few people watching him, especially several elders present, he restrained himself from doing so.

The Tang Clan members around were stunned for a moment after hearing Tang Wenlong's explanation. Then, remembering a piece of news that had been spreading rapidly in society recently, their expressions became quite interesting.

'It's really true?!'

Many members of the Tang Clan were shocked. Even those who believed in the existence of "flying ships" looked rather strange at this moment.

Real-world airships are quite different from the airships they imagine.

"It's really true?!"

Suddenly, a startled voice echoed through the valley, instantly snapping everyone out of their reverie. They all looked toward the source of the voice with strange expressions.

Let me see who's so honest as to blurt out their innermost thoughts~

As an assassin, knowing how to control one's emotions is also an essential skill.

Under everyone's gaze, a boy covered his mouth, seemingly regretting what he had blurted out.

In response, Fang Rui looked at the boy and gave an affirmative answer: "Of course it's true."

"Although there's a lot of fake news online, there's also a lot of real news, especially since it's unlikely that an ordinary person would fabricate such outrageous information..."

The crowd present: "…………" That makes a lot of sense.

"Furthermore... if you've been following the news about the 'airship,' you'll find that the 'company' is actually one of the organizations that spread the information."

Everyone present: "…………" Sorry, we really didn't notice!

Generally speaking, if a common message is found to be widely circulated on the internet, will anyone investigate where it came from?

No, generally speaking, you forget it as soon as you see it.

Some things that leave a deep impression will stay in your memory for a longer period of time.

Seeing the somewhat bewildered expressions on everyone's faces, Fang Rui felt a bit bored and suddenly lost the desire to continue speaking. He walked aside alone to observe the patterns on a certain rock wall.

Silence fell over the valley, and an awkward atmosphere spread. After a moment of looking at each other, Tang Miaoxing broke the silence.

He walked forward with steady steps, his calm voice echoing through the valley: "Although I would very much like to host a banquet to welcome you, I have other important matters to attend to and cannot entertain you. I hope you won't mind..."

As he said this, Tang Miaoxing adopted a somewhat humble attitude. Although one person was a super weapon refiner who could create "flying ships," the other person was an envoy from the company.

"Need any help?" Xu San looked up and saw Ding Shian "embedded" in the rock, and immediately raised an eyebrow.

"Need not."

Tang Miaoxing did not accept Xu San's offer. On the one hand, this matter could not be handled with the help of outsiders. If he could not deal with the troublemakers himself, it would lower the prestige of the Tang Clan. On the other hand, Xu San's strength was not great, and accepting his help would not change the current situation.

"..." Xu San shrugged lightly, offering no advice, and retreated to Fang Rui's side. In his opinion, Fang Rui's side was the safest place.

Moreover, he can see the entire valley from here...

'Hmm? Where's the baby?'

When he took in the entire valley, he suddenly realized something: Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, and the others were not in the valley.

The panic was fleeting; he regained his composure and turned his gaze to the airship hovering in the air.

'If I remember correctly, after me…'

It seems no one else has come out.

Xu San gently pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, and white light emanated from the lenses.

'Could it be that……'

'Is someone seasick?'

'Speaking of which, is seasickness an appropriate description?'

While he was lost in thought, Ding Shian slowly rose from the rocks, then leaped forward, somersaulted, and landed.

She slowly straightened up and looked at Xu Xin: "Senior, could you please give me some pointers?"

Although he was somewhat surprised by the series of events that had occurred, he did not forget his goal for this trip.

"You..." Tang Miaoxing seemed to want to say something, but Xu Xin suddenly took action, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say, turning around to look at Xu Xin who was slowly walking towards him.

"Junior brother..."

Before Tang Miaoxing could finish speaking, Xu Xin raised his hand to stop him, reassuring him with "It's alright, senior brother," before taking slow steps forward and asking Ding Shian some questions.

"Young man, listen to them, they say you're the second best fighter in the world..."

As Xu Xin spoke, Zhang Chulan and the others emerged from the airship one after another. They happened to overhear his words and, as if by reflex, Zhang Chulan exclaimed in surprise, "Second in the world? So arrogant!"

The others around him also reacted to Xu Xin's words and turned to look at the person confronting Xu Xin.

"Oh, so it's Ding Shian! Calling him the second best fighter in the world is quite reasonable."

'Of course, this doesn't take into account the cases of certain people and certain demons...'

The newly added spectators thought to themselves, while simultaneously moving rapidly toward the edge of the valley under the silent gazes of the crowd.

With the arrival of Zhang Chulan and the others, the atmosphere created by Xu Xin and Ding Shian vanished completely, and an awkward atmosphere lingered between the two. Although it was not explicitly stated, everyone around could feel the awkwardness.

"What should we do? How can we ease this awkward atmosphere?" A member of the Tang Clan asked his companion in a low voice, filled with anxiety.

How about a few words of flattery to divert attention from the awkwardness?

"If there's no transfer, then... what if the awkwardness is doubled?"

"You refuted me so quickly, it seems you have a plan?"

"Hmph! No..."

"What are you talking about if you don't have anything to say!"

Although the students' voices were very soft, the terrain of the valley prevented them from dissipating; instead, they mingled together and echoed through the valley.

The atmosphere became even more awkward, and the students, who had meant well but had made a mistake, all shut up.

Once the valley had completely quieted down, Ding Shian looked at everyone and asked in a calm tone, "Is there anything else?"

After waiting quietly for a while and receiving no reply, he nodded in satisfaction: "Very good."

Then, he looked at Xu Xin: "Senior, you can continue~"

'As expected of him.'

Xu San muttered to himself, not taking the previous embarrassment to heart at all.

The expressions of the others also changed somewhat, but not uniformly.

Xu Xin hesitated, but finally sighed softly and continued to ask the question that had been bothering him: "Young man, I heard from them that you are a good person, yet you're hanging out with those wicked people from the Quanxing Sect..."

"Gathering a group of Quanxing demons to attack the Tang Sect, and being seen by so many people..." The rest of the sentence was left unsaid, but many people could guess that it was a word related to "embarrassment." Xu Xin paused for a moment, skipped the rest of the sentence, and jumped directly to the last question, asking softly, "What exactly... are you after?"

"Hmm..." Ding Shian tilted his head, closed his eyes, and put his hands on his hips as if he was deep in thought.

Others were equally curious and turned their attention to Ding Shian, waiting for his answer.

As the current number two in the world, his answer should be quite classy... right?

It's normal for someone from the Tang Clan to have such thoughts; people tend to speculate about things in a way that seems "high-end" or "grand."

However, Ding Shian's answer disappointed them; his answer was very straightforward.

“I just want a sense of security…” Ding Shian’s eyes were clear, and it was clear that he wasn’t lying.

"Oh?" Xu Xin's expression remained unchanged, but his tone rose slightly.

Hidden among the crowd, the unassuming Zhang Huaiyi nodded in agreement; a sense of security was indeed very important.

Seeing his expression, Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong twitched their lips slightly. They could guess Zhang Huaiyi's thoughts and were certain that his thoughts were different from Ding Shian's.

Ruan Feng touched his fleshy face, wondering what he would eat later.
