Since Zheng Dongsheng and Wu Miao said so, Zheng Dongjue, Nantian Aurora, and Tong Yangsuo had no objections. None of them had the right to reason with Okuda, so Zheng Dongsheng was the only one who could.
Zheng Dongsheng went to the Island Lord Pavilion with Wu Miao. He went straight to Hall One and found Okuda.
"May I know why you're here, Master Zheng?" Okuda gestured for them to take a seat. If it was his original identity, he wouldn't have to be so polite to a seventh-grade pill refiner. He would have been more like a black-grade pill refiner, but he was the acting island lord now, so he couldn't mistreat his guests.
"Island Lord Okuda, I know quite a bit about what happened at Tiandan Pavilion. I heard that you believe that the seventh-grade pills at Tiandan Pavilion came from legal sources?" Zheng Dongsheng went straight to the point.
"That's right. That's true." Okuda glanced at Wu Miao and nodded calmly.
"Island Lord Okuda, do you have any evidence?" asked Zheng Dongsheng.
"Evidence?" Okuda suddenly smiled. He asked instead of answering the question, "Master Zheng, are you trying to say that the pills at Tiandan Pavilion came from the East Continent? Do you have any evidence? I can only prove someone's guilt with evidence. On the other hand, if someone is innocent, I don't need an innocent person to prove his innocence. "
"I have tested the five seventh-grade Great Recovery Pills at Tiandan Pavilion. They are all supreme-grade pills, so it's very unlikely that they came from other heaven-grade islands. It can only come from the East Continent. Furthermore, the pills don't have any divine sense imprints on them. That's the best evidence. Even if it's not solid evidence, you can come to a conclusion based on common sense, right?"
Zheng Dongsheng said confidently. "You want to convict someone based on common sense? Master Zheng, do you think I'm that naive? My island has always been a gathering place for large chambers of commerce. If I'm the first to do something like this, won't all the other chambers of commerce have to close down? There are many things in this world that can't be explained with common sense. Master Zheng, you don't have to make a fuss about it, "retorted Okuda calmly.
"Make a fuss about it?" When Zheng Dongsheng heard this, his face suddenly became a little ugly. He looked straight at Okuda and said, "With such conclusive evidence, Island Master Okuda actually thinks that I'm making a fuss over nothing? Originally, I came to Middle Island from afar, and as a guest, I shouldn't meddle in this kind of business. However, the Tiandan Pavilion's Lin Yi claimed to be the Master of my Morning Star Academy's Chief Alchemist, Qing Danzi, so I can't stay out of this matter. I hope that Island Master Okuda can handle this matter impartially and not play favoritism. "
"Is Master Zheng threatening me?" Okuda didn't show any signs of anger, but after he said that, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn. The omnipresent dignified aura pressed down on Zheng Dongsheng and Wu Miao, and they suddenly couldn't sit still.
However, Zheng Dongsheng wasn't an ordinary person. Although he felt uncomfortable under the pressure, he forcefully endured it and said with an ugly expression, "Island Master Okuda, please don't misunderstand me. I'm just speaking out of fairness. I don't mean to threaten you at all. However, this matter concerns the reputation of my Morning Star Academy. If Island Master Okuda can't clarify this matter, I can only report it to the East Continent and ask the East Continent Academy to punish Middle Island."
Saying this, it was a complete threat, and it was a direct threat to the entire Middle Island!
The sanction that Zheng Dongsheng mentioned was not a joke. It was related to the disciple quota that the East Continent College allocated to Nakajima. Even if Okuda came from a super aristocratic family, they still had to send their disciples to the East Continent for further studies. Once they were really sanctioned by the East Continent, his family and Nakajima would suffer a huge loss. No one could afford this result, and Okuda was no exception.
If he hadn't met his third brother, Okuda Dam, Okuda might have hesitated when faced with Zheng Dongsheng's threat. However, now that he knew how powerful Lin Yi was, his words were like a joke to him.
"Who are you reporting to?" Okuda asked indifferently.
"The Morning Star Academy, of course. I'll report it to the East Continent's Golden Step Academy Alliance. If Middle Island doesn't do anything about this matter, which is obviously ruining the reputation of our academy, I believe that sanctions will be unavoidable. I hope Island Master Okuda won't make a mistake," Zheng Dongsheng said with a smug expression.
Originally, he didn't dare to say this, but since he had brought up the East Continent's name, he naturally felt superior to Middle Island. So what if Okuda was from the East Continent? He still had to act according to the East Continent Academy's wishes.
"Alright, you can go now." Okuda immediately raised his glass to send him off.
"Huh?!" Zheng Dongsheng was dumbfounded. For a moment, he thought he had misheard. It wasn't until he saw Wu Miao's expression that he confirmed that he hadn't misheard Okuda.
Did he take the wrong medicine? Why didn't Okuda listen to him? Zheng Dongsheng looked at Okuda in disbelief. Usually, he would use this to threaten the people of the Heaven-Stage Island, and it had always worked. How come this guy didn't seem to care at all? Could it be that the super aristocratic families were so powerful that they didn't even put the East Continent Academy in their eyes?
"What? Do the two of you want to stay for a cup of tea? "Okuda looked at them with an ambiguous smile.
Wu Miao's head was about to sink into her pants. If she had known that Zheng Dongsheng was so unreasonable, she wouldn't have dared to come with him. Now, not only did Okuda not listen to him, but he even blacklisted her. She wouldn't have a good time in the Island Lord Pavilion in the future.
"Master Okuda, I've already made myself very clear. We've never met before, and we have no grudges against each other. Why do you have to put yourself in this situation for an irrelevant person like Lin Yi? I'll say the ugly words first. Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! "Zheng Dongsheng was furious.
A high-ranking alchemist like him was very prideful. After all, this was the culture on Heaven Island. He wouldn't be used to people not supporting him. Now that Okuda had given him such a cold shoulder, it would be strange if he wasn't angry.
If it weren't for the fact that the acting island lord was concerned about Nakajima's image, Okuda would have slapped Zheng Dongsheng to death. He was just a seventh-grade alchemist. Did he really think he was someone important?
However, at Okuda's level, he had already cultivated his temperament to the point that it was almost impossible for him to be angered in public. He calmly waved his hand and said, "Do whatever you want."
"Fine. You said it." Zheng Dongsheng was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and stormed off.
Wu Miao apologized to Okuda awkwardly before she hurriedly chased after Zheng Dongsheng and accompanied him to the executive island lord's private room number two.
