Seeing that the atmosphere was a little off, Wang Hai subconsciously said, "Immortal Qiu, this Immortal Ye is …"
Before he could finish speaking, he was sent flying. The sinister-looking young man said, "Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here? "
"You …" Wang Mei stepped forward and glared at Wang Hai and his wife furiously.
"Enough!"
Jiang Cheng interrupted everyone and said coldly, "Second Senior Brother, I got to know this Senior Ye outside. Thinking that the Southern Islands are facing a crisis now, I want to introduce him to master."
The sinister-looking man and the rest were stunned at first, then they laughed out loud.
"Senior Ye?"
The freckled woman looked like she had heard a funny joke. She pointed at Ye Chen and said while sneering, "Fifth Junior Brother, did I hear you correctly? You actually said that this brat who hasn't even grown his hair is a senior? "
"Hahaha, this brat doesn't have any aura on him at all, and his physique is so weak. He's actually a senior?"
"Fifth Junior Brother is getting more and more muddle-headed. He's actually being fooled so easily …"
"…"
The rest of the people burst into laughter.
"Fifth Junior Brother …"
The sinister-looking man took two steps forward and patted Jiang Cheng's shoulder lightly. He sighed softly and said, "I know you're eager to make contributions and want to please master, but you should at least have some brains …"
Jiang Cheng's face was flushed red.
The sinister-looking man said again, "Alright, I won't disturb your intimate time with this Senior Ye …"
With that, he left with the people behind him. Jiang Cheng could hear their mocking laughter from afar.
As soon as they left, Wang Mei could not help but question Ye Chen, "Senior, why didn't you help Senior Brother earlier?" “
"Why should I help him out?" Ye Chen said with a faint smile while carrying his daughter.
Wang Mei was furious, "Senior Brother was mocked by Second Senior Brother and the rest because of you …"
"Alright, Junior Sister."
Jiang Cheng interrupted her and bowed to Ye Chen, "Thank you for not attacking earlier, senior. Otherwise, my life would be even more difficult in the future."
He knew very well that his senior brothers and sisters had been targeting him and treating him as a thorn in their side. If Ye Chen had attacked earlier, he would have intimidated them on the surface.
However, Ye Chen could not stay on Golden Shark Island forever. There would be a day when he would leave. Once Ye Chen left, her situation would become even more difficult.
"Senior Brother, you're too weak."
Wang Mei was somewhat disappointed.
On the other hand, Ye Chen secretly nodded.
Jiang Cheng was young, but he knew how to endure. This kind of person was usually the most promising. On the contrary, his senior brothers and sisters would one day suffer the consequences of their own actions.
"Senior, this junior will bring you to see my master now."
Jiang Cheng led Ye Chen onto the island respectfully and walked toward the largest pavilion on the island.
Ye Chen looked around as he walked. He realized that although this was a place where pirates lived, it was well managed.
What surprised him the most was the faint aura of three Martial Monarchs on the island. It seemed that one of them was Jiang Chengzhe's master, Old Man Golden Shark.
Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Cheng stopped in front of a huge pavilion. This was the palace where Old Man Golden Shark lived. It was known as Golden Shark Palace!
Jiang Cheng stepped forward and said to the old man guarding the door, "Uncle Gong, please inform master for me."
The old man called Uncle Gong took a few glances at them. His gaze lingered on Ye Chen for a few seconds before he walked in expressionlessly.
…
Inside Golden Shark Palace.
Three old figures sat on the ground with three cups of fragrant tea in front of them. However, even when the tea was completely warm, no one took a sip.
The three of them were an old man in a golden robe, an old man with a face as red as wax, and an old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion.
If there were outsiders present, they would be shocked to discover that these three were the three most powerful people in the entire Southern Islands. Old Man Golden Shark, Old Man Huogong, and Old Man Wood Spirit.
The red-faced Old Man Huogong frowned deeply. "Brother Golden Shark, may I ask when your eldest disciple will return?"
"With Xia 'er's cultivation base as a grade-4 Mystic Master, it'll take her at least five days to get back."
Old Man Golden Shark had a worried expression as he sighed softly, "However, the Crimson Afterglow Sect that Xia 'er is from is a subsidiary force of the King Mu Fort after all. If she's escorted by the sect's elders, she'll be able to arrive in two days …"
"Two days?"
The ruddy Old Man Wood Spirit smiled bitterly, "That mysterious force only gave me three days to wait. One day has passed today. I'm afraid your eldest disciple won't be able to return in time."
At this point, he shook his head slightly and said, "Moreover, I heard that the King Mu Fort is participating in the high sect competition. There's a lot of external pressure. As a subsidiary force, the Crimson Afterglow Sect will definitely send out all their powerhouses.
"Now, we can only leave it to fate."
Old Man Golden Shark sighed faintly. Then, he looked at Old Man Huogong and said, "Brother Huogong, are the Northern and Eastern Islands unwilling to help us?" “
"Don't mention it. I've lost all my face, but they're still indifferent. They're even happy to see it happen."
Old Man Huogong's expression was extremely grim, "These old sly fools. In the past, when they saw that the Southern Islands Alliance was a force of the King Mu Fort, they were all enthusiastic. Now that the King Mu Fort is in danger, they're watching coldly from the sidelines."
"That's how people are."
Old Man Wood Spirit did not mind at all. Then, he said to Old Man Golden Shark, "Brother Golden Shark, have you really fought with that mysterious force?"
"That's right!"
Old Man Golden Shark said with a solemn expression, "That night, I was in closed-door cultivation when I felt a very powerful aura charging over. I chased after it and fought it. After five rounds, I was injured by it with a single palm strike!"
There was a hint of fear in his eyes, "If it wasn't for my beast pet, the Golden Shark King, who saved me, I'm afraid I would've died by now."
"This person must be a Martial Ancestor Realm powerhouse!"
Old Man Huogong and Old Man Wood Spirit looked at each other and said in unison, "Even if he's not, he's not far from the Martial Ancestor Realm …"
"In that case, doesn't that mean that even if the powerhouses from the Crimson Afterglow Sect come, it'll be useless?" Old Man Golden Shark's heart sank completely.
At this moment, a respectful voice sounded from outside, "Master, Jiang Cheng is back, and he brought an outsider to see you."
"An outsider?"
Old Man Golden Shark's expression darkened slightly, and he said with some displeasure, "Didn't I set a rule that outsiders are not allowed on the island?"
On the sea, territorial awareness was even stronger than on land. The entire Southern Islands was extremely exclusive, and no one had ever dared to violate the rule.
"I'm not sure."
Uncle Gong said again, "But I heard Jiang Cheng address that young man as senior, and his tone was extremely respectful …"
"Senior? Young man? "
Old Man Golden Shark and the other two looked at each other, and there was a hint of displeasure between their brows.
