"How about I bet you a month's salary?" Luo Sitong said with a smile.

"Sure, no problem!"

The sailor agreed without hesitation.

This sailor was not an ordinary sailor, but the captain of the ship, named Wang Dongfeng. Among all the sailors, he had followed Luo Sitong the longest.

That's why he dared to chat and laugh with Luo Sitong.

Other sailors wouldn't dare to be so casual in front of Luo Sitong.

After all, Luo Sitong has been navigating the South China Sea for so many years, he has some skills to his name.

Inside the basement, Ye Feng, Sun Muqing, and Jiang Lingxuan continued this most primitive game.

Sun Muqing remained as shy as ever. She mostly passively accepted Ye Feng's advances and only occasionally responded to him.

Even when it's just a kiss, she's like a chick pecking at rice, completely unable to let go.

However, Sun Muqing's restraint in such matters had its own charm, so Ye Feng didn't mind at all; on the contrary, he quite liked it.

Compared to Sun Muqing, Jiang Lingxuan was much bolder.

Jiang Lingxuan had always been the one taking the initiative, and at this moment she was like a horse being whipped into action, riding on the back of the night wind.

Jiang Lingxuan's enthusiasm and Sun Muqing's shyness are two extremes.

The two of them brought extraordinary joy to the night breeze.

Before I knew it, the whole night had passed.

The next morning, Luo Sitong had just gotten up when he heard a series of urgent knocks on the door.

"Boss! Boss! Something terrible has happened! Master Huang has discovered that we've picked up other passengers!" Sailor Wang Dongfeng shouted from outside the door.

Luo Sitong's expression changed drastically. He quickly got out of bed, dressed, and left the room.

"What did you say?" Luo Sitong asked.

Wang Dongfeng said helplessly, "I don't know what happened either. Patriarch Huang found out that we picked up that man and two women, and he's very angry now... He's the one who sent me to find you, saying that we have to give him an explanation."

"Could it be that those three guys secretly left the hold and wandered onto the deck, only to be spotted by the Huang family's guards?" Luo Sitong frowned deeply.

"It shouldn't be. I was on watch all night last night and haven't slept a wink. Besides, I was on deck all night and didn't see those three guys at all," Wang Dongfeng said.

That's really strange.

Luo Sitong said, then paused and added, "Since we've been discovered, we can only admit it honestly... Never mind, you go back and rest. Leave this to me."

Knowing he couldn't be of much help, Wang Dongfeng obediently went back to rest.

Luo Sitong then went into the cabin and met Huang Minghai, the head of the Huang family.

Huang Minghai's expression was one of great dissatisfaction, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes flashed with a stern look.

"Boss Luo, this is so unfair! I spent a full 30,000 spirit stones to charter your entire ship, and you actually secretly transported other passengers behind my back? Is this acceptable?!" Huang Minghai questioned angrily.

Huang Yue tried to comfort him, saying, "Dad, don't be so angry. It's not a big deal anyway."

"How can I not be angry? Boss Luo's behavior is simply disregarding the safety of my daughter and me!" Huang Minghai was even more furious, and his expression became increasingly ugly.

Luo Sitong was covered in sweat, but his face was full of a bitter smile.

"Patriarch Huang, please calm down. I admit that I was wrong in this matter, but those three people would never do anything to harm you," Luo Sitong said quickly.

After a pause, Luo Sitong continued, "Moreover, their destination is the same as yours, Linghuang Island. They also seem to have some urgent business and are in a great hurry, which is why I reluctantly agreed to transport them. I absolutely did not do this for money; I was simply trying to help them out of a sense of justice."

"What a fine 'helping those in need' talk, Mr. Luo! You really know how to spout such righteous words!" Huang Minghai sneered repeatedly.

Perhaps sensing that Huang Minghai was truly enraged, the dozen or so Huang family guards who were waiting outside all strode in.

These Huang family guards were mostly martial artists at the Qi Movement Realm, and once they entered the cabin, they all glared menacingly at Luo Sitong.

Luo Sitong immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and his heart pounded wildly.

"Father, why don't we invite those people over for a meeting? Once we meet them, we'll know roughly where they come from. If they're easy to get along with, then let them stay on the ship. If they're not good people, then we can send them away later," Huang Yue advised.

After considering it for a while, Huang Minghai finally nodded. "Alright, we'll do it your way... Boss Luo, please come over now and bring me those people from the warehouse."

Luo Sitong nodded helplessly: "Alright, Patriarch Huang, I'll go and call them over now."

At this point, Luo Sitong couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

How exactly did Huang Minghai discover Ye Feng and his group?

Luo Sitong then asked, "Patriarch Huang, how did you know there were people in the warehouse?"

Huang Minghai said coldly, "The people you transported are not ordinary people, but martial artists. They set up restrictions in the hold and emitted true energy fluctuations. If I still can't sense them, then I've been cultivating for nothing! Stop talking nonsense and go call them now. I want to see what kind of people you secretly transported onto the ship behind my back."

Those people were indeed martial artists!

Moreover, Huang Minghai was able to detect them because they had set up restrictions in the basement, which emitted fluctuations of true energy!

Luo Sitong suddenly realized what was going on, and then smiled wryly as he headed towards the warehouse.

Huang Minghai gave the guards a look, and immediately four guards caught up with Luo Sitong and went with him to the warehouse.

Inside the cargo hold, Ye Feng, Sun Muqing, and Jiang Lingxuan had all woken up.

The madness last night didn't affect the night wind at all.

After all, Ye Feng is a martial arts master at the Transcendent Realm, so this physical exertion is nothing to him.

Not to mention fighting with Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan for a whole night, he could fight for several days and nights without any problem.

Nourished by the night breeze, Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing were radiant and glowing.

"Why hasn't breakfast been delivered yet? It's almost morning..." Jiang Lingxuan said with dissatisfaction.

Sun Muqing then said, "Last night they delivered sea crabs. I wonder what that bearded man will prepare for us today, lobster or..."
