At this time, Lu Yu took the initiative to take responsibility, "It's not his fault, I'm the main one. Didn't we sign a contract to pick spiritual herbs? That's why we wanted to make some preparations. So we went to the streets to buy some tools and materials, but Steward Kang didn't follow the rule of first come first served and wanted to rob our things. That's why we got into so much trouble … "
The man didn't seem to be very interested in the cause of the incident. He waved his hand impatiently, "I'm here to inform you to gather at the port in the southwest of Yunlan Island early tomorrow morning. Remember, you must arrive before seven in the morning, otherwise, you'll be in breach of contract. This is the last notice. "
"Tomorrow? So soon? "Lu Yu was subconsciously surprised.
"Why? What's the problem tomorrow? What does the contract say? After the contract is signed, we can set off any day! "The man said indifferently.
"Tomorrow it is. Anyway, it's a month. The time limit hasn't changed, has it? The number of spiritual herbs stipulated in the contract hasn't changed, has it? "Qin Yi took the initiative to ask.
"Of course, we signed the contract, so we'll naturally do it according to the content." The man sneered.
"Good, we'll definitely arrive on time before seven in the morning tomorrow." Qin Yi didn't want to talk nonsense, so he readily agreed.
He was also afraid that Lu Yu would say too much and let the man see through some flaws.
After all, Lu Yu wasn't particularly good at concealing things. If the other party were to see through a flaw, then it would be hard to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Although they knew that picking spiritual herbs was just an excuse, the main purpose of the contract was to make them become inexplicable practice targets.
It was fine to know in their hearts, but there was no need to alarm the man. Otherwise, they might encounter trouble, and there was a possibility that Sister Yun Gu would be implicated.
Fortunately, the man was only carrying out his duties and didn't think too much. After the notice was given, he left with a cold face.
Qin Yi and Lu Yu looked at each other, ignoring the complicated gazes of the onlookers, and walked back to the inn.
They didn't have time to settle the bill, and the steward from before was a little embarrassed. They drove Qin Yi away because they didn't want the Kang family to bear a grudge against them.
Now, he discovered that the origins of these two people seemed to be even more terrifying than the Kang Clan. Even the domineering Great Butler Kang had suffered such a great loss.
The most frightening thing was that even the Fierce Tiger Army, who represented the authority of law enforcement on Cloudy Wave Island, didn't dare to provoke them. From this, it could be seen that the backing of these two people was absolutely terrifying.
Under such circumstances, even if they were afraid of getting into trouble, they definitely wouldn't dare to refuse their accommodation.
Qin Yi was an experienced man, so he didn't mention the previous unpleasantness, and the people in the inn naturally acquiesced to the fact that they continued to stay here.
Lu Yu heaved a sigh of relief after returning to the inn.
"Brother Qin, did you know that the superpowers of the Cloud Sea Empire would send people to keep an eye on us when you walked out so valiantly earlier? Will he come to our rescue at the critical moment? "
Qin Yi smiled bitterly. "I don't have the ability to predict the future. How could I have predicted it?"
"Since you didn't expect it, where did your confidence come from?" Lu Yu asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Now that things have come to this, since I can't avoid it, I can only brace myself and face it. If I hide in the inn, wouldn't I be looked down upon? In the end, it won't help. "
Qin Yi's answer left Lu Yu speechless.
"Brother Lu, don't worry about such trivial matters. We'll set off tomorrow morning, and there's a high chance that we'll be separated when we reach there. Both of us should be mentally prepared. "
Lu Yu sighed and said, "I'm already mentally prepared for this tribulation no matter what. Oh right, I'll leave this Dark Mist Grass with you. As for the remaining two spiritual herbs, it'll be even better if we can find them on Devil Spirit Island. "Lu Yu sighed.
Qin Yi said, "Brother Lu, if the heavens have eyes, seeing your deep feelings, I'm sure you'll get what you want."
"Hehe, Brother Qin, I'll be counting on your auspicious words. However, my previous request is still in effect. If I'm really unlucky and die on Devil Spirit Island, I'll leave the matter of the Rejuvenating Pill to you. "
Qin Yi patted Lu Yu's shoulder. "Don't worry, I have a feeling that neither of us will die on Devil Spirit Island. We'll definitely return safely."
Lu Yu nodded. His eyes were filled with self-encouragement.
Qin Yi continued, "We've only arrived today, but we'll set off tomorrow. It looks like the Cloud Sea Empire's organization is very strict this time. Even the trial disciples aren't allowed to have any room for favoritism. Not to mention the practice targets. We really need to be prepared for a tough battle on this trip. "
"Perhaps the practice targets will set off tomorrow. After all, there are three to five thousand practice targets. It'll take a lot of time to place them separately, right?" Lu Yu guessed.
Qin Yi nodded. "The practice targets will be placed on Devil Spirit Island first. The trial disciples will definitely arrive later. However, it'll only be a day or two at most. Therefore, in these two days, we must use the communication method that Big Sister Yun Gu taught us and strive to meet up earlier. "
As the two of them were talking, Yun Gu hurriedly rushed over.
The news she brought was exactly what they'd just learned.
"Brother Qin, it looks like you already know the situation. The level of this trial has been raised again. It's said that it's the highest level trial in the Cloud Sea Empire. According to the latest news, several top geniuses of the Cloud Sea Empire will be participating in this trial! "
Yun Gu's tone was solemn, and her expression was somewhat ugly.
She had always thought that the participants were geniuses who hadn't broken through to the Dao Embryo Realm or were at the edge of the Dao Embryo Realm.
However, the latest news left her dumbfounded. Some of the top geniuses of the Cloud Sea Empire were also interested in this trial, and some of them were participating.
Although not all of the top geniuses were participating, a few of them had already raised the level of the trial to another level.
If that was the case, her younger brother would have even less of an advantage.
This made Yun Gu, who hoped that her younger brother would become a dragon, even more anxious and uneasy. This kind of life and death trial followed the law of the jungle, where the strong preyed on the weak.
For those who were strong, even if it wasn't because of a conflict of interest, they would still kill you if they didn't like you. In the depths of Devil Spirit Island, no one would know anything. Even if they were killed, they would most likely die without knowing why.
