"According to what you said, this Lin Yi is really unusual." Osamu took a deep breath. Although he didn't want Okuda to roam the sea all year round, he knew very well what Lin Yi's ability represented. Using the title of honorary vice-captain to rope in such a person was definitely a good deal.
"It's a shame that this brother of mine is just too much of a genius. He has too many different abilities, and he doesn't have the heart to travel in the ocean. How great would it be if he didn't know how to concoct pills and only knew how to sail? What a waste." Okuda sighed.
"Recklessly wasting natural resources?" Osamu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pointed at Osamu and scolded, "He, an early stage Profound Ascension cultivator, could easily deal with a peak late stage Profound Ascension cultivator, and he's also a Profound First Level Alchemist. If he went sailing with you, it would really be a waste!"
"The sea is where a man belongs, how is it a waste?" Osamu wasn't convinced.
"You, I haven't seen you for so many years and you're still like this. You've been like this since you were young. You're obviously more talented than me, but you've only liked to go on adventures since you were young. You've never been willing to cultivate properly. For this, you didn't even hesitate to fall out with your family, and in the end, you ran away from home …" Osamu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. "Our Okuda family is one of the few super families on Heaven-Stage Island, but in the end, we have a third young master who doesn't do proper work. I really don't know what to say."
"Second brother, why are you talking about this …" Osamu's face suddenly darkened. After running away from home, although he relied on his own strength to make a name for himself, he still couldn't get his father's approval. Other than his second brother, Osamu, everyone in the Okuda family always looked at him with a look of disdain. As time passed, he didn't want to have any contact with his family anymore.
"Third brother, I know you don't want to hear this, but as your second brother, I have to say it. Although father doesn't want to forgive you, he wants you to go back more than anyone else. You should know that your room is still in the ancestral home, and it's still the same as before you left. No matter who goes in and messes with it, father will be angry." Okuda sighed.
Hearing this, Okuda Ba fell silent. Sometimes, after drifting in the Endless Sea for a long time, he would occasionally have the urge to return to his family, but every time, he would quickly kill that urge.
One day, he would rely on his own strength to achieve great things that would make his father sit up and take notice of him. This was the belief he had set since the day he ran away from home, and it had never changed.
"No matter what, you're still the third young master of the Okuda family. Since you've come to Nakajima, go back and take a look," Okuda said expectantly.
"Second Brother, it's not like you don't know my ambition. Don't try to persuade me anymore. I'm going out to sea tomorrow. Let's get drunk tonight." Okuda Ba shook his head.
"But …" Okuda Zhou still wanted to persuade him.
Okuda Ba waved his hand and interrupted him, saying with a heroic smile, "Second Brother, do you know what I'm going to do now? Just a warship is not enough to satisfy my appetite. I want to become the commander of a fleet that can sweep through Heaven-Stage Island, not just a simple captain! "
"You want to build a fleet?" Okuda Zhou was startled by his crazy idea. Treasure ships were rare enough, and ancient warships were even rarer. Even with the Okuda family's foundation, they wouldn't dare to boast like this. Okuda Ba's goal was really ambitious.
"That's right. This is my goal. When I succeed, I will naturally return home." Okuda Ba nodded.
Seeing the unshakable determination in his eyes, Okuda Zhou hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he didn't try to persuade him anymore. He nodded and said, "I'll wait for the day you return home."
"Just you wait." Okuda Ba laughed and suddenly changed the topic, "Right, from what Second Brother said just now, did Brother Lin Yi run into some trouble?"
"En, you can say that, but it's just a small problem. Just say the word, and I will deal with it." Okuda Zhou nodded.
"Second Brother, I have to remind you that this kid is not a small matter. Even from the perspective of the family, he is worth befriending. Do not rashly become enemies with him." Okuda Ba said in a serious tone.
"Don't worry, I know what's important." Okuda Zhou nodded. No matter what, Okuda Ba was a descendant of the Okuda family. Moreover, he had roamed the seas for three hundred years, so his vision was naturally good. Since even he respected such a character, he naturally had to befriend him.
The two brothers reunited after a long time. They drank from dawn to dusk, and then from dusk to dawn. Only then did Okuda Ba send Okuda Zhou off in a drunken state. The wine they drank was a hundred-year old wine made from supreme-grade spiritual herbs, so the aftereffects were unimaginably strong. Fortunately, they cheated and dissolved most of the alcohol. Otherwise, even ten Okudas would have passed out.
In comparison, Okuda Zhou was more relaxed when he left. He was much stronger than Okuda Ba, so even if he did not cheat, he could easily dissolve the alcohol by circulating his essential qi in his body. He was the true definition of being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
Ever since Wu Miao came back from the Tiandan Pavilion yesterday, he had been guarding the Island Lord's Pavilion. He wished he could get someone to throw Lin Yi in jail and torture him. Unfortunately, he could only fantasize about it.
Putting aside the fact that he did not have the strength to do so, even if he found someone who could deal with Lin Yi, he did not dare to act rashly before Okuda Zhou came to a conclusion. After all, it was not a big deal to offend Lin Yi. However, if he offended Okuda Zhou, his days would come to an end.
Wu Miao paced back and forth in Hall Two, the executive vice island lord's personal residence. From time to time, he would send someone to Hall One to gather information. Okuda Zhou's attitude the day before made him feel uneasy. Although he did not think Okuda Zhou would offend him, an executive vice island lord, for an outsider like Lin Yi, what if he did?
Since Okuda hadn't returned all night, Wu Miao had been on tenterhooks the entire night. When her subordinate told her that Okuda was back in the morning, Wu Miao couldn't wait to go and ask him about it.
However, before he could leave Hall Two, Wu Miao turned back. If he went to Okuda Zhou and asked him about it, wouldn't it make it seem like he was eager to deal with Lin Yi?
Although Wu Miao did have this thought, he could not make it so obvious since he was the second-in-command. Otherwise, Okuda Zhou would definitely look down on him.
After thinking about it, Wu Miao sent one of his trusted subordinates to gather information. In the end, he came back in less than 15 minutes with a document from the island lord.
"How did it go?" asked Wu Miao hurriedly.
