Those who come to Guanxian Island are all discerning people. Without the old steward saying much, they naturally know how precious this white jade luminous pearl is.

Sai Feifei's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and said, "Old manager, can I touch them to broaden my horizons?"

Sai Feifei loves Bao, which is a well-known fact.

"I'm so sorry, this treasure can only be viewed from afar." The old steward said politely, "This white jade luminous pearl is a gift from our island lord to our island lord's wife, and it is extremely precious."

Ling Jiusheng paused in his cup-holding hand. He looked up, a hint of surprise in his otherwise calm tone, "The island lord is already married?"

"The island lord got married not long ago," the kind-faced old steward said.

Ling Jiusheng lowered his eyes again, "As far as I know, the island lord is a cold and aloof person who never has much contact with others, so why would he suddenly get married?"

"Even if you meet the right person and get married on the very day you meet, it's still impossible." The old steward asked Ling Jiusheng with a smile, "Master Ling seems to know our island lord?"

"We met once many years ago," Ling Jiusheng said simply, and then said no more.

Sai Feifei pondered and said, "That's not right. Aren't the people of Guanxian Island supposed to be detached from worldly affairs? How did this Demonic Sect leader meet the Island Lord?"

“Perhaps…” Hua Yan said, “Ling Jiusheng had visited Guanxian Island before?”

“That’s even more impossible.” Sai Feifei directly refuted Hua Yan’s words. “Guanxian Island can only allow outsiders to enter once every fifty years. Unless Ling Jiusheng is over fifty years old now, how could he possibly enter Guanxian Island?”

"I...how would I know why?" Hua Yan was also angry. She said, "If you want to know, then go ask Ling Jiusheng yourself."

Qi Chang'an, who had been silent for a while, suddenly laughed and said, "There's no need for that."

"Alliance Leader Qi?" Sai Feifei asked in confusion.

"Questions that need answers will eventually have answers." Qi Chang'an smiled, picked up a pastry from the plate, and said softly, "This is Feng Guang's favorite pastry, it's a pity she's not here..."

Sai Feifei muttered, "I didn't expect that Alliance Leader Qi is actually a family man."

At this moment, the old steward standing in the center of the hall introduced another treasure, "This is a calligraphy scroll of our former island lord. Hidden in these characters are the sword techniques left behind by the old island lord. To this day, the only one who can see the sword techniques in the characters is our current island lord, who is also the son of the old island lord."

"The calligraphy on this post is vigorous and powerful, yet it contains an elusive sword energy." Xiao Baishu was a cultured man, and with just one glance, he could tell that there was something different hidden in the calligraphy.

Then someone asked, "What about that knife? And what kind of treasure is it?"

"This knife?" The old steward took a few more steps forward, looking at the knife displayed on the shelf. "This is the least valuable thing among all these items."

Xia Chao's face darkened.

Qi Chang'an coughed.

The old steward added, "Of course, the craftsmanship of this knife is superb."

Xia Chao's expression softened slightly.

The old steward continued, "This knife is called the Azure Snow Blade. It is extremely sharp and can cut through iron like mud. The reason why this knife is said to be worthless is simply because its owner... was a martial arts figure named Left-Handed Knife."

"What did you say?" Xia Chao had forged so many weapons, but he only remembered that the Cangxue Blade was made by him. He had forgotten who he had given it to. Now that he thought about it, he was even more shocked. "When Zuo Shou Dao died, his blade also disappeared. So why was it on Guanxian Island?"

“Perhaps…” Qi Chang’an took an elegant bite of the pastry in his hand and said calmly, “Could the death of Zuo Shou Dao be related to Guanxian Island?”

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

The first to realize something was wrong was Ling Jiusheng. He frowned slightly because he noticed that as he tried to stand up, his strength was rapidly draining away.

"Alliance Leader... there's poison here..." Young Master Shen leaned on the table, his first reaction was to laboriously remind Qi Chang'an.

Qi Chang'an calmly put down the pastry he hadn't finished eating, and then elegantly and calmly wiped his hands with a handkerchief. His movements were so composed that watching him was a pleasure.

Inside the main hall, those with less skill had already collapsed weakly onto the tables. Only people like Ling Jiusheng and Xia Chao were still able to sit up, but their faces were all somewhat pale.

Only Qi Chang'an remained calm and composed, just as he always was. He said gently, "This osmanthus cake is too sweet."

"I had the kitchen staff add twice as much sugar," the old steward explained kindly.

“Very good.” Qi Chang’an smiled. “Have the kitchen staff make more; I’ll take some with me when I leave the island.”

The old steward, whose name was Xuyan, bowed and said, "Yes, Island Master."
