Rebirth of the Peak Young Master-Chapter 409: Unbelievable

"Energy release, you’re actually... unbelievably strong!"

The man exclaimed in surprise and leaped back.

You know, before Alice acted, he hadn’t seen any depth in her. At most, he thought she had an extraordinary temperament.

Who would have thought that this kind of allure was actually an Innate Expert!

There was only one explanation. Alice was as strong as him, but far more powerful.

That’s why he couldn’t perceive her strength.

Miss Zou stood on the deck, frowning in astonishment. Clearly, she hadn’t expected that among the two men who boarded the ship with Yang Tian, one of them would be an Innate Expert.

Moreover, he had directly defeated her companion.

The only person whose expression remained unchanged from the beginning was Yang Tian.

First of all, battles at the Innate Level were far too insignificant for Yang Tian.

Most importantly, even though Alice appeared weak—perhaps even frail—in Yang Tian’s eyes, she was once a top-tier force in the Underworld. Alice was one of the four Guardians of the Devil Palace, a formidable figure at the pinnacle of the Innate Level.

This man had barely just entered the Innate Level. How could he possibly be a match for Alice?

"May my husband board this ship?"

It was unclear how much time passed before everyone’s thoughts were abruptly interrupted by Alice’s cold voice.

As soon as the man heard it, his eyes filled with fury, and he seemed ready to act again.

"Uncle Li, let it go!"

At that moment, Miss Zou finally spoke up.

Upon hearing her, the man’s eyes reflected brief hesitation. In the end, he gave up on his intentions to retaliate and stepped aside.

Alice immediately bent slightly in a courteous bow, waiting for Yang Tian. She followed him with grace, completely abandoning the imposing demeanor she’d shown the man earlier—it was as if she truly were just a maid. This sight made Miss Zou furrow her brows again on the deck. She couldn’t make sense of Yang Tian’s identity.

But no matter what, she understood that Yang Tian was anything but ordinary. Otherwise, how could someone from the Innate Kingdom willingly act as a maid?

Once Yang Tian boarded the ship, for the first time, the cruise liner didn’t set sail right away but waited for a while.

During that wait, three separate groups of people arrived.

Each group was led by a young figure, accompanied by practitioners acting as their guards. Unlike Yang Tian, however, they clearly knew Miss Zou.

After boarding, there wasn’t even a need for formal exchanges.

It wasn’t until they spotted Yang Tian—someone entirely unfamiliar to them—onboard that they were briefly taken aback. Then, they inquired with Miss Zou about Yang Tian’s identity.

When Miss Zou explained that Alice was an Innate Expert who had effortlessly defeated Uncle Li, one composed, middle-aged man remarked, "Even though Uncle Li achieved early-stage strength at birth, defeating him in a hundred duels wouldn’t be an easy task. It seems this woman’s power isn’t limited to being an Innate Expert. It’s likely she’s at a much later stage of cultivation."

"Such a master acting as merely a maid implies this young man’s identity is far from simple."

Not simple?

Hearing the middle-aged man’s comment, a younger man beside him immediately sneered. "Not simple? Who could possibly have a harder-to-fathom identity than Zou Xiaoqin’s? Xiaoqin is our Holy Fire!" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"Careful!"

Before the younger man could finish, Uncle Li grunted sharply, warning him. The middle-aged man who’d spoken earlier also glared at the younger man.

Zou Xiaoqin smiled and said, "It’s alright, but as Uncle Wu mentioned, that man’s identity is indeed not simple!"

"Do you want this old man to test him out? Perhaps we can leverage this situation!" suggested the middle-aged man, addressed as Uncle Wu.

Zou Xiaoqin slightly shook her head after hearing him and replied, "Uncle Li already tried once. It wouldn’t be wise to act rashly. Besides, there’s still a long way to go before we reach Qianyuan Island, so there’ll be plenty of opportunities!"

After that, Zou Xiaoqin returned to her cabin.

The younger men, Wu Shu and Li Shuhe, dropped the matter entirely.

However, they were unaware that at this moment, Yang Tian was sitting in another cabin. Slowly opening his eyes from his meditative state, he murmured faintly, "The so-called Holy Torch Sect? I don’t care who you are, but I hope you won’t disrupt my good mood."

After saying this, Yang Tian’s eyes closed again, and upon hearing his words, Alice sighed and shook her head.

Dare to provoke Yang Tian?

The fall of the Devil Palace had been a lesson of the past.

Soon after the crew completed their preparations, the cruise liner finally departed.

Everyone began settling into life aboard the ship.

After all, the vastness of the Pacific Ocean was boundless. Even with the ship heading directly toward its destination in the center, the journey would take five or six days. The voyage was calm during this time.

Thus, while onboard, this group of people occupied themselves with eating, drinking, and occasional amusements, blending their daily lives and leisure.

Yet, for reasons unbeknownst to Zou Xiaoqin and others, after Yang Tian boarded the ship that day, he disappeared entirely. Except for when Alice came out daily to bring him three meals, he didn’t show himself at all.

"Hmph! Is this some kind of attitude? Does he look down on us? Refuse to dine with us?"

After five continuous days and during the final evening meal, a younger man seated beside Zou Xiaoqin finally voiced his displeasure.

Another man with short hair at the table sneered, "A maid with Innate strength? Naturally, his status is different! He hasn’t appeared all this time—he’s probably so high and mighty that he thinks he’s above us all!"

Encouraged by these two, others chimed in with their own criticisms.

Yet, none of this seemed to affect Yang Tian.

After all, within their own territories, these individuals were accustomed to being treated as bigshots. Young and full of vigor, they were naturally unhappy with Yang Tian’s absence and indifference.

"Enough! Whether he shows himself or not has nothing to do with you. Why do you care so much?"

Seeing how riled up the group was becoming, Zou Xiaoqin stepped in to diffuse the tension.

In truth, she wasn’t particularly bothered by Yang Tian’s absence, but being prompted by others left her feeling uneasy.

At the end of the day, this ship had been privately reserved by her. Yang Tian and Alice, to her mind, were fortunate to even be allowed onboard.

If anything, they should be grateful to her for their place here.

What she hadn’t accounted for, though, was that Yang Tian didn’t view it the same way.

Moreover, when Yang Tian had first boarded, Uncle Li had tried to stop him. If not for Alice’s intervention, an ordinary person would’ve been crushed in the confrontation with Uncle Li.

In the past, considering Yang Tian’s temperament, he likely would’ve obliterated them all. But now, having reached the Nascent Soul Period, his state of mind had shifted greatly, and he refrained from such actions.

Yet, their paths remained separate.

Of course, Zou Xiaoqin was oblivious to these details. But during the ensuing conversations—a mix of drunkenness and irritation—one of the younger men suddenly stood up and disdainfully said, "Hah, fine then. Since he won’t show himself, why don’t we go see what he’s doing?"

With that, the young man made his way toward Yang Tian’s cabin downstairs.

Zou Xiaoqin hesitated when she noticed his intent, though others didn’t seem to mind.

The short-haired man even chuckled and said, "Don’t worry, Xiaoqin. He’s just curious about the guy’s background. No big deal!"

"Still, his maid is an Innate Expert. I think we should consult with Uncle Li first."

"Relax, it’s fine!" Before Zou Xiaoqin could finish, the short-haired man grinned and said, "Xiaoqin, don’t forget, this is our ship. If this guy is drunk and acting out, what’s the big deal? I assure you, nothing will happen!"

"Exactly! An Innate Expert? Xiaoqin, Uncle Zou is stronger than an Innate!"
