After leaving Immortal Spirit Island, Qiu Miaozhen took out a lotus leaf artifact and rode the night wind towards Mingyun Island.

Judging from this direction, Mingyun Island should not be very far from Linghuang Island.

Moreover, this time when Qiu Miaozhen left Fairy Spirit Island, she encountered that Golden Scale Fish King again.

Just like last time, although the Golden Scale Fish King caused some trouble for Qiu Miaozhen and Ye Feng, it did not harm them.

"That damned stinky fish, when I become an elder, I'll definitely stew it!" Qiu Miaozhen said angrily.

"Senior sister, don't be angry. Don't let such a trivial matter bother you," Ye Feng said with a smile.

Ye Feng and Qiu Miaozhen set off from Xianling Island in the morning, and it wasn't until the afternoon that they finally arrived at Mingyun Island.

As soon as Ye Feng entered Mingyun City, he felt a strong festive atmosphere.

All the streets and alleys of Mingyun City were decorated with various kinds of ornaments, and the streets and alleys were bustling with people and pedestrians.

The night breeze also reveals children running around in the streets and alleys, shouting and laughing.

"What festival is this?" Night Wind asked.

"Silver Tide Festival".

Qiu Miaozhen replied.

Ye Feng, of course, did not know what the Silver Tide Festival was, so Qiu Miaozhen added: "Every year at this time, silver barracudas in the sea begin to reproduce and lay eggs, but the eggs laid by silver barracudas must be in warm seawater to hatch successfully, so silver barracudas will follow the warm ocean currents and swim to warm places."

"However, although the area is suitable for spawning, it is not suitable for adult silver barracuda to live in. Therefore, after spawning, they will return along the same route."

“Mingyun Island is located right in the middle of a warm ocean current, so every year at this time, a large number of female silver barracudas pass through here to spawn, and then return via this route.”

"When the silver barracudas go to spawn, the fishermen on Mingyun Island will not catch them. However, once the female silver barracudas pass through here after spawning, the fishermen on Mingyun Island will not be so polite. At this time, there are many silver barracudas, and the schools of fish are very dense. One net can catch hundreds of silver barracudas."

"There are even so many silver barracudas that, from a distance, it looks like a silver wave—that's why Mingyun Island is named the Silver Tide Festival."

Hearing this, Ye Feng finally understood the significance of the Silver Tide Festival to Mingyun Island.

The Silver Tide Festival is actually a harvest festival.

The islanders rely on the sea for their livelihood, and their main food source is various kinds of sea fish. Every year at this time, silver barracuda brings a sufficient food guarantee to Mingyun Island, so it is normal for the people of Mingyun Island to celebrate.

"Look over there, the fishing boats are returning laden with silver mullet... See that big ship at the very front? That's the fishing boat of the Beichen family, the most powerful family on Mingyun Island. That ship carries at least 100,000 jin of silver mullet!"

Ye Feng glanced in the direction Qiu Miaozhen was pointing and immediately saw a particularly large seagoing vessel.

The ship was covered with silver barracuda, piled up like mountains, shimmering silver in the sunlight, looking dazzling.

"Alright, let's go. My parents should be waiting for us already," Qiu Miaozhen said with a smile.

Then Qiu Miaozhen rode the lotus leaf towards the mansion of the Beichen family in Mingyun City.

Just as Qiu Miaozhen put the lotus leaf down, a group of servants from the Beichen family rushed over, shouting and yelling all the way.

"Miss Qiu is back!"

"Go quickly and inform the young master! Go now!"

"Miss Qiu, you're finally back! Young Master has been waiting for you for so long!"

"Young Master has been unable to eat or drink these past few days, eagerly awaiting your return. Miss Qiu, you're back far too late, four or five days later than usual!"

The servants surrounded her, chattering amongst themselves, which made Qiu Miaozhen frown.

Qiu Miaozhen said calmly, "Where are my parents?"

"Manager Qiu went out to sea on a ship, and now the ship has returned to port. He should be back soon. As for Madam Qiu, she is currently in the south wing," a servant said respectfully.

Qiu Miaozhen then prepared to take Ye Feng to the south wing.

However, just as he took a step, a young man in brocade robes strode towards them, surrounded by a large group of servants.

"Miaozhen, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Needless to say, this young man is Bei Chen Xifeng, the eldest son of the Bei Chen family.

At this moment, Beichen Xifeng had already strode up to Qiu Miaozhen and even tried to grab Qiu Miaozhen's delicate hand.

However, Qiu Miaozhen immediately and subtly raised her hand to introduce Ye Feng, thus avoiding Bei Chen Xifeng's groping hand.

"Young Master Beichen, let me introduce you. This is Ye Feng, an inner disciple of our Ling Shui Sect, and also the chief alchemist of our Ling Shui Sect's alchemy workshop," Qiu Miaozhen said.

"Hello, Young Master Beichen," Ye Feng said with a smile.

As he spoke, Ye Feng stepped out to the side and stood in front of Qiu Miaozhen, separating her from Bei Chen Xifeng.

Bei Chen Xifeng immediately became somewhat displeased, frowning as he asked, "You're Miao Zhen's junior brother? What's your cultivation level now?"

"Does it matter what level I'm at?" Night Wind retorted.

Bei Chen Xifeng said unhappily, "Answer whatever I ask, and don't forget that this is the territory of our Bei Chen family!"

"The Beichen family truly lives up to its reputation as the most powerful family on Mingyun Island; they don't even put our Lingshui Sect in their eyes," Ye Feng said casually.

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Bei Chen Xi Feng was instantly enraged, but he didn't know how to refute them.

The Beichen family would naturally not dare to oppose the Lingshui Sect. If they angered the Lingshui Sect, the Beichen family would cease to exist in just one or two hours.

But how could Beichen Xifeng willingly bow down to Yefeng now?

But just then, a burst of laughter came from the inner courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man wearing a long coat walked out with his head held high.

“Our Beichen family naturally wouldn’t dare to take the Lingshui Sect seriously. However, Mr. Ye, you are merely an inner disciple of the Lingshui Sect and cannot represent the sect, can you?”

"And although my son's words were somewhat inappropriate, it didn't warrant such a fuss."

The middle-aged man said with a smile, his smile appearing somewhat honest and simple.

“Junior brother, this is Bei Chen Wenxiong, the head of the Bei Chen family,” Qiu Miaozhen immediately introduced.

Night Breeze nodded and cast a nonchalant glance at Kitashiro Fumio.

“My son just spoke rudely, and as his father, I apologize on his behalf. Please don’t take it to heart, Mr. Ye,” Bei Chen Wenxiong said, bowing.

"It's nothing, I didn't take it to heart," Ye Feng said calmly.
