"Since you already know, is there a need for me to say more?" The middle-aged man kept the elder token as he spoke nonchalantly.
From the middle-aged man's expression and tone, it could be seen that he didn't give any face to the City Lord Manor's guard captain.
When the middle-aged man walked past him, the guard captain hesitated. However, the Flying Dragon Trading Company's elder token on the middle-aged man's hand was real.
In addition, according to the information he had, the people they needed to capture were basically in the Form Synthesis Realm. Among them, there were two women in the Great Ascension Realm.
As for the middle-aged man's cultivation realm, he couldn't see through him. However, to be able to become an elder of the Flying Dragon Trading Company, even if his strength wasn't in the Great Ascension Realm, he was probably not far from it.
"Elder Xiao, is this really an elder of your Flying Dragon Trading Company?" Looking at the middle-aged man's back, the guard captain didn't dare to obstruct him.
"Didn't you already see his Elder's Token? Could it be fake? "Elder Xiao spoke nonchalantly.
Originally, he was only guessing. However, when he saw the elder token on the middle-aged man's hand, he was completely sure of Cheng Yu's identity. This time, he was the only elder accompanying the ship. Now, another elder had appeared. If this person wasn't Cheng Yu, who else could it be?
"That's right. What are you guys trying to do by gathering here?" Just when the middle-aged man had walked less than 10 zhang away, he suddenly turned around and spoke to the guard captain.
"The people wanted by our City Lord Manor are on your Flying Dragon Trading Company's ship. We wish to board the ship to capture these wanted criminals. However, Elder Xiao didn't agree to it!" When the middle-aged man asked, the guard captain replied truthfully.
"Elder Xiao, since they are the City Lord's people, why don't you give the City Lord face and allow them to board the ship?" The middle-aged man spoke to Elder Xiao.
When the guard captain heard the middle-aged man's words, he immediately rejoiced. He looked at the middle-aged man with gratitude. At the same time, his impression of the middle-aged man had also increased.
"This …" Elder Xiao was somewhat puzzled. He could confirm that this middle-aged man was Cheng Yu.
However, now that he had come out, the remaining people should still be on the ship. If he were to allow these people to board the ship, wouldn't he be exposing his companions?
"Thank you, elder!" The guard captain cupped his fists.
"Don't thank me yet. You can board the ship. However, I have to remind you that I have been on the ship the whole time. Besides the crew of our Flying Dragon Trading Company, there is no one else on the ship." After saying that, the middle-aged man turned around and left again.
The middle-aged man's words stunned everyone, especially the guards. They had seen a group of people return to the ship with their own eyes. How could this guy say that there were no outsiders on the ship?
They didn't believe it at all. This guy must have said it on purpose, thinking that they wouldn't board the ship to catch him.
"Elder Xiao, I wonder if we can board the ship now?" The guard captain looked at Elder Xiao proudly.
"If that's the case, please!" Elder Xiao waved his hand and made way for them to board the ship.
He gradually understood that the middle-aged man's words were clearly directed at him. Other than the Flying Dragon Trading Company's crew, there was no one else. Therefore, Cheng Yu's companions were no longer on the ship.
He remembered that the crewman had told him that Cheng Yu had an ancient divine beast on him. Although the crewman didn't explain it clearly, with his experience, he could tell that it wasn't on Cheng Yu, but Cheng Yu had a spatial treasure.
Since it was a spatial treasure, it also meant that Cheng Yu could store living things in this spatial treasure. Therefore, Cheng Yu's companions must be the same as the ancient divine beast, being stored in the spatial treasure by Cheng Yu.
Therefore, there was no need for him to make things difficult for the City Lord Mansion's people. In any case, they wouldn't be able to find him.
At this moment, he admired Cheng Yu's means. Originally, when he saw how young Cheng Yu and his companions were, he had some doubts in his heart.
Now that he saw Cheng Yu had actually used a disguise to leave openly and resolve the conflict, it seemed like the president's eyesight was not wrong.
Since they didn't need to clash with the City Lord Mansion's people, this was also a good thing for their Flying Dragon Trading Company.
Although they might not be afraid of the City Lord Mansion, they didn't want to cause too much of a ruckus. After all, their Flying Dragon Trading Company was just a traveling merchant. Traveling merchants paid attention to harmony to make money.
If they were to really fall out with the City Lord Mansion, whether it was the City Lord Mansion or the Flying Dragon Trading Company, it would be a loss.
The City Lord Mansion's guards excitedly boarded the ship and searched. However, when they came out of the cabin again, the guard captain's face was black. When he followed them in, it was a completely different person.
"I wonder what the captain found?" When Elder Xiao saw the guard captain's expression, he knew that Cheng Yu was not lying. Other than the Flying Dragon Trading Company's crew, there was no one else on the ship.
Seeing the Flying Dragon Trading Company's gloating expression, the guard captain's mood became even more displeased.
"Elder Xiao, I suspect that your Flying Dragon Trading Company has hidden these people on purpose. I hope that Elder Xiao can cooperate with me and call out all the crew members on your ship. I need to check them one by one!" said the guard captain.
Captain, you can't speak carelessly like this. Our Flying Dragon Trading Company has always been an important business partner with the City Lord Mansion. The friendship between us also has a deep foundation. If your words were to reach the City Lord Mansion's ears and spoil the business between us, I wonder if you, as a guard captain, can bear the responsibility? Elder Xiao said righteously.
In any case, now that they were no longer on the ship, he was even more confident. He didn't need to worry anymore.
"I …" Hearing this, the guard captain's confidence immediately faltered.
However, our Flying Dragon Trading Company has always been abiding by the rules. Since captain doesn't believe us, in order to avoid suspicion, we will reluctantly agree to captain's request. Go, call out all the crew members on the ship. Let this captain inspect them Elder Xiao turned around and said with a faint smile.
A few crew members responded and quickly returned to the ship to inform all the crew members to come out.
Not long later, all the crew members were called to the deck. There was a total of 152 crew members standing neatly together.
When the guard captain saw Elder Xiao's calm and composed appearance, his heart thumped. He immediately felt that he had been fooled. However, he couldn't figure out how he had been fooled.
However, just from Elder Xiao's expression, he could already guess that there were no wanted criminals among the crew members.
However, even so, he had to confirm it again. Thus, he asked his subordinates to compare the portraits with the crew members one by one.
As expected, none of the one hundred and fifty-two crew members resembled the man in the portrait.
Captain, did you find the person you were looking for? Elder Xiao said with a faint smile.
