The Flying Dragon Trading Company's treasured ship slowly approached the pier. When the treasured ship stopped, all the people on board disembarked happily.
Cheng Yu and the others weren't people who liked bustle. Right now, they had to keep a low profile. Therefore, they waited until everyone had disembarked before disembarking slowly.
However, after they disembarked, a group of people suddenly appeared at the pier. These people were actually the City Lord Mansion's guards. They stopped everyone who had disembarked and started to inspect them one by one. Furthermore, they were holding onto paintings. From the looks of it, they were looking for someone!
Looking at this scene, Cheng Yu and the others complexion turned ugly.
"Could they be looking for us?" Xin Luo enquired worriedly.
"These people are really persistent. It's already been half a year and they are still looking for us. Seems like this time, we won't be able to hide from them!" Xin Hai's face was filled with anger. He had yet to find trouble with Tianhai City and these people were actually looking for trouble with them first.
"Let's quickly return to the ship!" Cheng Yu spoke coldly.
As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry. Regardless of whether they were looking for them or not, they should still be on guard against them. Just like what they had discussed before, it was best for them not to get into a conflict with the City Lord Mansion's people. A moment of happiness wouldn't be able to solve the problem and would instead bring about more troubles.
Wanting to kill these guards was indeed too easy for them. However, wanting to clean up after them cleanly wasn't an easy task.
However, although they were the last to disembark, they had only just disembarked and now suddenly returned to the ship. This was very easy to attract the attention of the guards.
"Captain, those people are suspicious. They have returned to the ship!" A guard pointed at Cheng Yu and the others.
The guard captain also saw Cheng Yu and the others' back. Looking at the paintings in his hands, it was a group of men and women. Immediately, his complexion changed as he shouted at the back of Cheng Yu and the others, "Halt!"
However, why would Cheng Yu and the others listen to their words? They directly entered the cabin.
How could the guard captain let them off? He no longer cared about the others who had disembarked as he chased after the treasured ship.
Generally speaking, those who had disembarked would not be able to get back on the ship. If it was others, it would be impossible for them to get back on the ship after disembarking.
However, Cheng Yu was different. He was someone who possessed the elder token of the Flying Dragon Trading Company. If he wanted to board the ship, who would dare to stop him?
However, even though Cheng Yu and the others didn't obstruct them, it was impossible for these guards to board the ship. Immediately, they were obstructed by the Flying Dragon Business Firm's crew.
"We're from the City Lord's Mansion of Skysea City. Who dares to stop us?" When the guard captain saw that the crew members had actually blocked their way, and the people had already disappeared into the cabin, he immediately roared in anger.
I'm sorry, sir. You can board the ship, but you have to take out your ticket first or pay 10 high-grade spirit stones per person The crew member had just received an order from Cheng Yu to stop these people.
They were just a small crew. Seeing so many fierce-looking City Lord Mansion guards, it would be a lie to say that they weren't nervous. However, Cheng Yu was an elder of their Flying Dragon Business Firm. How could they not follow his instructions?
However, they couldn't think of any good excuse to stop them, so they could only take out their tickets.
"What? How dare you ask us for spirit stones? Does your Flying Dragon Business Firm still want to stay in Skysea City? "The guard captain raged.
"Whether or not our Flying Dragon Business Firm can stay in Skysea City is not up to you to decide!" It was at this moment, a voice came from the ship.
"Who?" When the guard captain saw that someone from the Flying Dragon Business Firm actually dared to talk back to him, he immediately shouted.
"I'm an elder of the Flying Dragon Business Firm, surnamed Xiao!" An old man appeared in front of this group of people, looking at these guards indifferently.
Although the City Lord's Mansion of Skysea City was very powerful, their Flying Dragon Business Firm would still pay a large amount of spirit stones to the City Lord's Mansion every year. Therefore, their Flying Dragon Business Firm could be said to be a very important business firm to the City Lord's Mansion. Even the City Lord of Skysea City wouldn't easily offend them.
The reason was very simple. The Flying Dragon Business Firm had been developing very well in Skysea City. A large number of businesses in the city were purchased by the Flying Dragon Business Firm. If they were to fall out with the Flying Dragon Business Firm, the City Lord's Mansion would be the one to suffer losses in the end.
"Elder Xiao, we just saw a few wanted criminals of Skysea City on your ship. Elder Xiao, please do us a favor." When the guard heard that the other party was actually an elder of the Flying Dragon Business Firm, his heart immediately tightened, and his attitude became much more polite.
Not to mention the relationship between the City Lord's Mansion and the Flying Dragon Business Firm, just the identity of the other party's elder was enough to show his strength. Those who could become members of the Flying Dragon Business Firm were at least in the late Great Ascension Stage.
Among this group of people, he was the strongest, but he was only at the early Body Integration Stage. He was completely not on the same level as the other party. He didn't really want to offend the other party.
Otherwise, if the other party killed him, it would be useless even if the matter was brought to the City Lord's Mansion. Moreover, he was very clear that the City Lord would not fall out with the Flying Dragon Business Firm because of him.
"Just now, they already said that if you want to board the ship, you can pay a boarding fee of 10 high-grade spirit stones each. In that case, I will naturally allow you to board the ship," said Elder Xiao.
Every time the treasured ship of the Flying Dragon Business Firm went out to sea, there would be one or two elder-level experts on the ship. This was because both Skysea City and Great Pool City were very chaotic. Without such people on the ship, it would be very unsafe.
Furthermore, even if it was in the middle of the sea, they might encounter pirates and the like. Similarly, they would also need someone to take care of them.
And this time, before he went out to sea, the president had personally instructed him to take good care of Cheng Yu and the others. There must not be any mishaps. He must try his best to satisfy all of Cheng Yu's requests.
He didn't know about the cooperation between the Flying Dragon Business Firm and Cheng Yu. Originally, he was also very curious as to why Cheng Yu possessed the elder token of the Flying Dragon Business Firm and why even the president valued Cheng Yu so much.
Because he had always been following the treasured ship back and forth between Skysea City and Great Pool City, he wasn't very clear about what had happened in Great Pool City. Like Elder Shi and Elder Qi, they would only act as the overseer of the treasured ship occasionally. Usually, they wouldn't follow the ship.
Only until some of the crew told him about what had happened in Great Pool City did he know that such a young man was actually able to resist more than 30 Great Ascension Stage experts from the Crimson Blood Union. It was truly too inconceivable.
Furthermore, what made him even more surprised was that it was said that this young man had an ancient divine beast by his side. This made him understand why the president valued Cheng Yu so much.
However, regardless of Cheng Yu's true strength, he still had to protect Cheng Yu.
