Chapter 181: Riding Cranes Into the Sky

“Wow! Daddy, look, those white cranes are huge!”

Liu’er pointed at the five big white cranes and shouted at Jiang Ping in surprise!

The five white cranes were as big as two carriages. They had snow-white feathers, and their crowns and sharp beaks were bright red.

According to Lu Zhiheng, three to four people could ride a white crane.

The little girls were all shocked when they saw the big white cranes.

The young Taoist priest was afraid of strangers, but he hid behind his master and widened his eyes.

Jiang Ping smiled at the little girl and rubbed her head.

Stroking one of the big white cranes, Mayor Lu Zhiheng spoke.

“These five white cranes are the flying beasts that our Yellow Clouds City has been raising for many years.”

“They are specially used for traveling and can fly for a long time.”

“Brother Jiang, if you want to go to Xianlai Island, you only need to stop at Nanwu City once and rest for a night. Then, you can reach Xianlai Island directly.”

Jiang Ping smiled and cupped his fists to thank Lu Zhiheng.

“Thank you, Brother Lu. However, how will these white cranes return when we ride them to Xianlai Island?”

Lu Zhiheng patted the white crane’s wings and said proudly.

“The ones I have are all professionally trained.”

“When you get there, they will return the way they came.”

Jiang Ping was also interested in the white cranes. It seemed that he could try raising a few in the future in case he needed to go on a journey again.

In the end, Jiang Ping and the old Taoist priest asked for three white cranes in total.

Lu Zhiheng personally picked the three that flew the fastest and steadiest.

“Daddy, how are we going to sit?”

Wan’er asked Jiang Ping from the side.

Before Jiang Ping could answer, the other two little girls raised their hands and jumped up.

They shouted that they wanted to be with their daddy.

Jiang Ping said yes to them, and Yan’er and Liu’er finally settled down.

Then Wan’er tugged at the corner of Jiang Ping’s shirt awkwardly.

“Daddy, I want to ride with the young Taoist priest.”

Jiang Ping was stunned.

She hasn’t even gotten married, but her arm is already clinging to another person’s elbow?

As soon as Wan’er finished speaking, she ran directly to the young Taoist priest’s side.

At this time, the young Taoist priest was still hiding behind his master, being submissive.

Seeing Wan’er running over, the young Taoist priest was also a little curious.

“Young Taoist priest, I want to sit with you!”

He Xiangjiang looked at Wan’er, then raised his head to look at his master.

It meant that he didn’t have the final say, and he had to ask this old man.

Wan’er understood at a glance and also raised her head to look at the old Taoist priest.

Seeing the two little fellows looking at him, Zhao Tianqian raised his hand to stroke his beard and said with a smile.

“Why not!”

Wan’er smiled.

He Xiangjiang, who was hiding behind the old Taoist priest, also stood aside and came beside Wan’er.

Jiang Ping was speechless and complained in his heart.

Of course, he would say okay. That’s his daughter and his disciple. He would like to see if the old Taoist priest could remain calm if their roles were switched.

Liu’er grabbed Jiang Ping’s sleeve.

“Daddy, is Sister Wan’er not coming with us?”

Jiang Ping replied.

“It’s okay. Daddy will be fine with you.”

Yan’er didn’t say anything.

She was holding a book in her hand and reading it with great interest.

If it weren’t for Jiang Ping not paying attention to the book in Yan’er’s hand, Lei Jingyun would have been beaten up by Jiang Ping.

Because Yan’er was reading the novel that Lei Jingyun showed Wan’er!

Jiang Ping picked up Liu’er and said to Li Sushang.

“Sushang, it’s good that Wan’er went over. You can come with us.”

Li Sushang nodded without any objection.

Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi, the two brothers in trouble, could only ride on the same white crane.

The white crane rose into the air, and the little girls shouted in surprise.

Wan’er was the one who shouted the loudest.

“Young Taoist priest, look!”

“We’re taking off!”

However, He Xiangjiang, who was sitting at the back, kept his eyes closed, muttering to himself.

Wan’er turned around and saw the young Taoist priest muttering to himself. He didn’t even open his eyes, so she asked the old Taoist priest out of curiosity.

“Old Senior, what is He Xiangjiang doing?”

The old Taoist priest lowered his head to look at his disciple and said indifferently.

“He is afraid. He is chanting the mind-calming mantra.”

Wan’er slapped He Xiangjiang’s head in a bad mood.

“You have no backbone. What is there to be afraid of? Open your eyes.”

He Xiangjiang let out an “oh” and slowly opened his eyes.

He saw himself riding a white crane and shuttling through the clouds.

The Sun was so big that it seemed as if he could touch it.

The sky was so beautiful. Why didn’t he notice this vast sky before? It was actually so beautiful.

He Xiangjiang saw this unreal scene and didn’t speak for a long time.

While he was in a daze, there was a slap.

A piercing pain came from his head again.

“I’m asking you a question? Are you mute?”

Wan’er took back her hand that had just slapped the young Taoist priest’s head and said angrily.

He Xiangjiang was confused. He didn’t notice Wan’er talking to him just now.

“Huh? What did you ask me?”

Wan’er grabbed his ear and shouted loudly.

“I’m asking you, is this your first time flying into the sky!”

He Xiangjiang’s head suddenly shrank back.

He rubbed his ear.

“You don’t have to be so loud.”

He complained to Wan’er.

“Yeah, it’s my first time.”

Then, the young Taoist priest looked up at the clouds, and he reached out to touch them.

Wan’er pursed her lips.

“It’s not my first time. My daddy took me and flew in the sky for a long time.”

He Xiangjiang gave Wan’er a thumbs up.

“Then you’re really amazing.”

The little girl gave him another slap.

“You’re being perfunctory!”

He Xiangjiang held his head and didn’t understand how he was being perfunctory.

But he couldn’t beat her, so he could only admit defeat obediently.

The white crane that Jiang Ping rode was at the front.

Yan’er and Liu’er also widened their eyes along the way.

Especially Yan’er, who actually put away the book that she couldn’t put down.

She exclaimed along with Liu’er.

“Wow! Daddy, look at that cloud! It’s so big!”

“Daddy, look at that cloud! Doesn’t it look like a lion?”

“And that, big white rabbit, big horse!”

Jiang Ping looked in the direction where the two little girls were pointing, and he was completely overwhelmed.

He quickly said that he saw it.

The two little girls sat between Jiang Ping and Li Sushang, and Jiang Ping sat at the front, controlling the white cranes.

Before they set off, Lu Zhiheng had already taught them how to ride the white cranes.

It was very simple. These white cranes could understand humans, and they could communicate with them using spiritual energy.

Therefore, it was easy for Jiang Ping and the old Taoist priest to get used to it.

On the contrary, Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi’s side.

Their speed was much slower than the two teams before them.

They were almost left behind several times until they couldn’t even see their shadows.

“Old Lei, can you do it or not!”

“Why are master and the others so fast? You’re crawling like a turtle.”

Lei Jingyun retorted.

“If you can do it, you can take over!”

He had suspected that the white crane beneath him had rebelled. Otherwise, why would it be so disobedient when all of them were communicating with spiritual energy?

Or was it because his cultivation was not high enough to control it…
