To be able to find Phantom, Xu Yun and Lin Ge did not waste half a month of their time. Although Phantom did not bring Xu Yun any clues about Marty Frans Island, Xu Yun still felt very fortunate. Indeed, at least they still had Phantom.
After the battle between the Beluga Clan and the Sharks, although they did not completely wipe out the Sharks, they still shocked the world. Everyone knew who the Pirate King of the Pacific Ocean was. Whether they were convinced or not was one thing, but whether they dared to touch it was another. Wherever the Beluga Clan's flag went, the pirates there would obediently lie down. Even the Sharks were a tough nut to crack. Who else could not be bitten by Qiu Heng? Naturally, no one was willing to look for trouble.
Most of the time, people hoped that they could get more, and Qiu Heng was no exception. However, Qiu Heng was a sensible person. He knew how to control his greed. Although he had spent a lot of energy and money because of Xu Yun, and lost a dozen brothers because of helping Xu Yun save people, Qiu Heng still stopped recruiting Xu Yun.
In the battle between Xu Yun and Naka, Qiu Heng could see how terrifying Xu Yun's strength was. He was very sure that he was not Xu Yun's opponent. Moreover, he felt that even Dongfang Fan, the number one warrior under Headmaster Gu of the Hunter School, might not necessarily be Xu Yun's opponent.
The battle between Xu Yun and Naka also made Xu Yun famous. His value went from a bounty of 60 million to 75 million. Although Xu Yun's bounty of 75 million dollars was less than Qiu Heng's of 77 million dollars, Qiu Heng firmly believed that Xu Yun's strength was definitely higher than Dongfang Fan's who was worth 80 million dollars.
Of course, these were all things that Qiu Heng understood in his heart. For such a person, Qiu Heng understood that even if he wanted to recruit him, he would not have the strength to do so. Xu Yun even had a special temperament, the temperament of a leader. People like him were born to be leaders and would never be used by anyone.
Hence, Qiu Heng gave up on recruiting Xu Yun. He gave up on this person who could help him achieve dominance in the Pacific Ocean. So much so that he had once thought that if Xu Yun were to establish himself as king, he would even consider joining him and becoming his assistant … This kind of person was born with the temperament of a king.
After figuring everything out, Qiu Heng was suddenly enlightened. He had led the Beluga Whale Regiment in the Pacific Ocean for many years, but he had never been able to achieve absolute hegemony. This also made him realize a problem. Perhaps he could only achieve what he had today because he was not a man who could become a king.
Xu Yun was very grateful for everything that Qiu Heng had done for him, especially when he had asked to leave. Qiu Heng had sincerely sent him off as a friend. This was what Xu Yun was most grateful for. Although the two of them were not on the same path and did not share the same values, Xu Yun would still treat Qiu Heng as a friend.
Perhaps this was the feeling of friendship between gentlemen being as indifferent as water.
In fact, friends were not that difficult to understand. Different people had different definitions of friends. Xu Yun and Qiu Heng did not have much of a friendship, but to a certain extent, this kind of friendship was far more than many people who had known each other for many years.
Many young people thought that a group of buddies who secretly skipped class and took turns smoking in the toilet were friends. A group of people who carried bricks and machetes to fight together were friends. A group of people who went to bars in the middle of the night and drank until they had a hangover and then brought a girl with no self-respect to her to have sex were friends … Of course, these were friends, but they were not real friends. They were all doing bad things under the banner of "loyalty" that no one dared to do alone.
Only those who could stand up for you at a critical moment were friends. However, this was on the premise that they would stand up and do something that would help you. If someone shot you, those who dared to take the bullet for you were friends. However, those who held a gun for you were not friends. A real friend would not do anything that might be disadvantageous to you.
Everything that Qiu Heng did for Xu Yun, not only did he consider Xu Yun, but he also considered himself. Everything he did was for everyone to have a better outcome and answer, so he was definitely a qualified friend.
Lin Ge also thought highly of Qiu Heng. He felt that if Qiu Heng continued like this, with the accumulation of time, he would definitely become a white-haired old man in the Pacific Ocean. Qiu Heng really did not dare to accept Lin Ge's words. A white-haired old man was a mythical existence to the pirates of today and in the future.
After bidding farewell to Qiu Heng, Xu Yun and Lin Ge brought Phantom back to Hawaii. Phantom still did not like to meet people. After arriving at the hotel, Phantom did not speak much. She knew that Xu Yun and Lin Ge had spent a lot of effort to find her. She was very unhappy because she did not find anything after coming to the Pacific Ocean.
Even if she had just a little bit of information about Marty Francis Island, she would not be as unhappy as she was now.
Xu Yun did not leave Hawaii immediately. He wanted to return the Mahogany Order to E Yuan and thank him in person. He wanted E Yuan to pass a message back to thank Principal Gu for his help. Moreover, he wanted to talk to E Yuan about Qiu Heng's problem.
Bu Feifan did not come this time. After all, he was not on vacation at the Hunter Academy. He did not have the right to see his friends and family whenever he wanted. The extreme survival training had already begun. Bu Feifan had already left the hunting island with the rest of the team, following Lone Wolf Tang Yipeng.
However, what Xu Yun did not expect was that E Yuan was not the only one who came to see him. Even Principal Gu came personally.
When E Yuan saw Xu Yun, he brought him to Principal Gu's suite. Xu Yun was quite surprised. Gu Magpie Jie was much younger than he had imagined. After all, this person was from the same era as his godfather, Zhang Taisui. Even if he was younger, he could not be younger than eight or ten years.
Young, truly too young. This was Xu Yun's first impression of the Ancient Magpie World. The person standing next to Gu Magpie Jie had an extraordinary aura. After E Yuan's introduction, Xu Yun knew that he was the famous number one instructor of the Hunter Academy, Zhui Ming, Dongfang Fan.
Although Xu Yun couldn't say that he was flattered by their arrival, he really felt that he couldn't accept it.
"Principal Gu, Instructor Zhui Ming, Brother E Yuan, Xu Yun is truly grateful to have received so much help from all of you." As Xu Yun spoke, he took out the Mahogany Token and handed it over with both hands. "In the future, if there's anything you need me to do, as long as it's within my capabilities, I'll definitely be at your beck and call."
"We really didn't help you much." Gu Magpie Jie did not seem to be arrogant. He smiled and said, "With my relationship with Elder Taisui, there are too many things that I should help you with …"
"Principal Gu, please don't say that." Xu Yun was startled.
Gu Magpie Jie said that, but he did not feel guilty at all. "There's nothing that I can't say. I feel that with my identity and my relationship with Elder Taisui, I should help you, but my personality doesn't allow me to do so. The more it's like this, the more I can't help you. This is because I believe that Elder Taisui's godson has the ability to deal with these trivial matters. "
As expected of the principal of the Hunter Academy. Xu Yun smiled. "Principal Gu, I realize that your personality is very similar to Elder Taisui's."
"Otherwise, how can we be brothers?" Gu Magpie Jie laughed. "Hahaha, kid, your performance has far exceeded my expectations. You're much stronger than I thought. I think if Elder Taisui knows about this, he'll be laughing when he plays chess with the King of Hell. "
Xu Yun smiled and did not say anything. He was thinking about another problem. It was about Qiu Heng. He had not thought about how to bring this up to Gu Magpie Jie. After all, they were on opposing sides. If he wanted to speak up for Qiu Heng, it would be awkward.
Faced with Gu Magpie Jie, Xu Yun wanted to say something but hesitated.
