Chapter 372 Big Shot
When Hei Xiu heard this, his temper immediately flared up. He rushed forward and punched the captain in the face!
The heavy punch made the captain retreat several steps, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he covered his cheek and shouted angrily: "Damn witch! I will call the coast guard to arrest you and make you spend the rest of your life in prison!!"
Hei Xiu laughed angrily: "My boss was kind enough to save everyone on your ship, but you turned your kindness into revenge and threw her into the sea alone?"
"Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
The captain sneered, "Rescue? Those sea ghosts were clearly controlled by her, otherwise how do you explain that you were sent up by the sea ghosts just now?"
"It's obvious that she was the one who had bad intentions and used sea ghosts to threaten the lives of everyone on the ship. Now she's saying it so righteously. Does she have any shame?"
"Aren't you just trying to blackmail a lot of rich people on the ship?"
"I warn you not to mess around. There are important people on this ship. If you two irritate them, you will end up in a terrible situation."
Hearing his threat, Hei Xiu became interested instead, "Which big shot?"
"You still don't know what I'm talking about. While the old man doesn't know yet, I advise you to leave this ship on your own initiative." The captain wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his expression full of sarcasm, "Anyway, you can control the sea ghost, so it doesn't matter whether there is a ship or not."
Hei Xiu sneered, "You really want us to leave?"
"Once we leave, the thousands of people on this ship will suffer."
"Captain! Captain, something's wrong!" The crew came rushing over. "The instruments on board are out of order. Our ship doesn't show up on the map at all."
The captain's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Jiang Ci in disbelief, "Please let all the people on this ship go! They are all innocent!"
Jiang Ci said calmly: "It has nothing to do with me."
"How can it be okay? Didn't you control the sea ghost? It was also you who stopped the ship." The captain insisted that it was all her fault.
Hei Xiu looked at him like an idiot: "You are so stupid, the real murderer is still on your ship, in cabin 444. If you don't believe me, just send someone to check it out!"
"If it weren't for my Jiang Jiang to save you, we would have left long ago. Why would we come back?"
"You take my kindness for granted! Ugh!"
When the crew heard about Room 444, their expressions changed. "I have some impression of the guest in this room. He is an old man wearing strange clothes and smelling bad."
"He was pulling a big suitcase when he boarded the ship. I offered to help him, but he didn't appreciate it and was very alert."
"Captain, how about sending someone over to take a look?"
The captain was hesitating, and Hei Xiu couldn't bear to watch it anymore, "Come on, I'll go with you to take a look."
He pulled the crew over.
Seeing this, the captain had no choice but to stamp his feet and turn around to find the big shot.
Jiang Ci looked around and found that the entire sea was pitch black and he couldn't tell where the sea was and where the sky was.
This hollow darkness seemed to swallow up everything.
Soon, the captain came over with a few people, pointed at Jiang Ci and said angrily: "Miss Murong, it's her!"
"She was the one who summoned the sea ghosts when the ship almost had an accident earlier. Now the ship has been stopped again. All these weird things are caused by her."
Murong Jinran looked towards Jiang Ci with a cold gaze.
While she was looking at Jiang Ci, Jiang Ci was also observing her.
Jiang Ci could tell at a glance that there was a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy on Miss Murong's body.
Either he is carrying a rare treasure or he is a monk.
Murong Jinran was not in a hurry to find Jiang Ci to question him. He just gave his eyes to signal his men to investigate.
The men scattered and quickly checked for any abnormalities.
"Miss Jinran, something has indeed happened to the ship. It seems to have been sucked in by a magic circle."
Murong Jinran frowned: "When can it be repaired?"
The subordinate shook his head: "I have never seen this kind of magic array before. It will take some time to repair it."
Murong Jinran's face turned cold: "Grandpa's condition can't wait that long."
She paused, looked at Jiang Ci intriguingly, and said, "My fellow Taoist, I wonder why you set up a magic circle to trap everyone?"
"Just state your conditions. I will try my best to satisfy them. Please spare this ship."
Jiang Ci said indifferently: "It's not me."
Murong Jinran was stunned and looked at the captain in surprise.
The captain hurriedly explained: "It was her! She was the one who showed me those sea ghosts. I also saw her manipulating many sea ghosts to send her and her accomplices back to the ship."
"Ms. Murong, please believe me, this girl is definitely not a good person!"
Murong Jinran pursed her lips and said nothing.
The subordinate lowered his voice and whispered a few words in her ear.
Jiang Ci heard it and realized that they just wanted to test her background.
Murong Jinran stared at Jiang Ci for a while, then shook his head and waved his hands to stop his subordinates' proposal.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, may I ask how you subdued those sea ghosts?"
"From what I know, the sea ghosts have great resentment and there are many of them. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to solve them alone, right?"
Not only did she solve it, she also made the sea ghost work for her.
Jiang Ci smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes at all, "Are you interrogating the prisoner here?"
"No, Brother Jiang has misunderstood." Murong Jinran explained calmly, "It's just that you and the sea ghost appeared together, and anyone would be suspicious."
Jiang Ci said calmly: "Since you don't trust me, then I'll leave. I'll leave the people on this ship to you."
She turned and was about to leave.
Murong Jinran suddenly became anxious, "Fellow Daoist, please stay! That's not what I meant!"
"The ship is stuck now, and I was just wondering if I could help you. If I have offended you, I am willing to apologize."
Looking at the young lady who tried to persuade him to stay, the subordinates felt a little uncomfortable.
The daughter of the Murong family in the Middle Thousand World was being so humble to a stinky girl from an ordinary world, and the stinky girl didn't appreciate it. They really wanted to slap Jiang Ci in the face a few times and let her open her eyes and take a good look.
If it weren't for coming to the small world to find the old patriarch, Jiang Ci would have spent all his luck in his entire life without ever meeting Miss Jinran.
Now that Miss Jinran was apologizing to her, she should have kneeled down on the spot if she had any sense.
Perhaps sensing the resentment among the people around him, Murong Jinran glared at them and signaled them to leave.
"Ms. Jinran, we can solve the magic circle. It just takes a little time. We will definitely be able to solve it in three hours at most. Why bother asking this kind of person for help?"
"Yes, Miss Jinran, leave it to us."
Jiang Ci smiled coldly: "Three hours? Your souls can report to Yama Palace now."
The subordinate refused to give in and said, "Who do you think you are? You can only command a few sea ghosts. Why are you so arrogant?"
"That's right, in front of our Murong family, he is not even worthy of carrying shoes."
"Low-grade garbage."
