Luo Zexuan can usually persuade anyone he wants to. Unless that person is like a rock in a latrine, smelly, stubborn, and unwilling to listen to reason.
However, Lu Nanzhe was not a stubborn rock; he was a good young master who listened to advice and was persuaded in no time.
Before Luo Zexuan had even finished speaking, Lu Nanzhe was already more than willing, feeling like he had gotten a great deal.
"In short, it's only because you're our first customer and a friend that we were able to get such a cheap price. Otherwise, do you think anyone else could get it?"
"Okay, okay, stop talking, I agree, I agree. But apart from cultivation techniques, you have to give me priority to sell me anything else I want, including martial arts manuals."
"Of course, you will be our introducer and our living advertisement in the future, so you will definitely have priority in selection."
Lu Nanzhe was quite pleased to hear this, and immediately took out the crystal ball and started looking through the sea chart, wanting to see which gourmet islands he could trade.
But he still muttered, "It wasn't easy for the Lu family to accumulate these gourmet islands. It took my Lu family hundreds of years to hunt for and acquire them. I hope Grandpa's spirit in heaven won't blame me for squandering our wealth!"
"Think of it this way: once you acquire the cultivation technique, you will be able to train a large number of experts. You will soon be able to organize a powerful expedition team to find more and better gourmet islands for you."
Luo Zexuan's words struck a chord with him. Lu Nanzhe felt they made perfect sense, and the last bit of heartache he felt quickly disappeared.
"I'm reminding you that whichever you choose, the other one must be exchanged for a higher-level gourmet island, otherwise we will not agree to the deal."
Lin Qianqian gave a timely reminder.
"I understand. My Lu family has a gourmet island that is even more advanced than Jiansheng Island. Don't worry."
Yunze and Zhang Laodao remained silent, slowly sipping their tea. Chuzhou fiddled with something on his computer, not participating in the conversation.
Lu Nanzhe searched through the sea chart database for islands that could be traded, and soon locked onto his target.
He looked up and asked Lin Qianqian, "I've finalized the food islands for the transaction. When are you going to visit those islands? I want to complete the transaction as soon as possible; I want to start cultivating immortality soon."
He was quite anxious. He wanted to start cultivating as soon as possible and return to the Lu family. He still didn't know if his mother had been buried.
He wanted to go back for revenge, to make his father, his lover, and that illegitimate child pay the price.
"If you're in a hurry, I can give you a cultivation technique to help you draw energy into your body. Anyway, the transaction won't be canceled."
"Oh, can I learn the cultivation technique first? Really? Aren't you afraid I'll learn the technique and run away?"
"Run away? Have you not had a clear understanding of our capabilities these past few days? Do you think you can get away?"
"I can't run away, I can't run away. I was just saying that, I definitely won't run away."
How strong are these people? He has already witnessed it in the past two days. Dealing with high-level Qionglin creatures of level 70 or 80 is a piece of cake for them. And this is only a small part of their abilities.
He was determined to latch onto this powerful figure and cultivate a good relationship with them.
With their protection, avenging my mother and reclaiming the Lu family is a piece of cake.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. "So when will we start cultivating?"
“Anytime is fine…” Before Lin Qianqian could finish speaking, Yunze’s voice rang out.
"Someone's coming."
At this moment, Lin Qianqian also sensed it.
Two seconds later, everyone received a message on their phones from the ship's main computer, "Pioneer": an unidentified vessel is approaching the ship; please take precautions.
The ship was attacked?
Yunze and Lin Qianqian exchanged a glance, their cooperation seamless.
Yunze gathered the others, and Lin Qianqian closed the shop. Together they left Sword Life Island and flew towards the nearby ship.
Before long, they returned to the ship, where Wen Mingyue was checking the situation in the main control room.
The spacecraft is equipped with advanced detection equipment, and the surrounding situation is clearly displayed on the large screen in the main control room.
To their southeast, they saw a ship rapidly approaching.
I thought the two sides would meet soon, but the ship suddenly stopped.
It was a wooden boat, somewhat similar in shape to the ancient treasure ships of Blue Star, but not as big, only about twenty meters long.
Lu Nanzhe stared intently at the ship, gritting his teeth as he said, "That's my Lu family's ship. The men my father sent to hunt me down are on board."
He frowned in confusion again: "Why did they stop?"
"They must have realized how massive our spaceship was when they got close, so they dared not approach any further," Chu Zhou replied.
"They dare not approach but also do not leave; it seems they are certain you are here. They must have some way of pinpointing your location."
Upon hearing Chu Zhou's words, Lu Nanzhe thought carefully and shook his head. "I don't know."
Lin Qianqian said, "No need to think about it. We'll know once we have the mall guards arrest them."
As soon as the order was given, five puppets and five robots set off on two speedboats.
On one side of the spaceship, a door opened, and two speedboats sped out and rushed toward the wooden boat.
When the people on the wooden boat saw the boat coming, they hesitated at first, but then turned around and ran away.
But can they escape?
In less than fifteen minutes, two speedboats towing the wooden boat slowly approached the spaceship.
Robotic and puppet guards escorted more than a dozen people onto the spaceship.
The dozen or so people were unsteady on their feet, clearly all injured.
Upon getting closer, Lin Qianqian and her employees all took a few steps back and stood to the side.
Lin Qianqian shot out several strands of green light at them, and the dozen or so people instantly went limp, making it easier for Lu Nanzhe to question them.
At this moment, Lu Nanzhe stared at the person at the front of the group with eyes blazing with anger: "Long time no see! Captain Lu Zhi'en! Why are you the one who came? Why?"
The middle-aged man at the front, named Lu Zhi'en, just kept his head down, neither looking at him nor speaking.
Seeing him like this, Lu Nanzhe rushed over, grabbed him by the collar, and roared.
"When you were three years old and almost froze to death, my grandfather picked you up from the street, raised you, allowed you to cultivate, and gave you the surname Lu. He also made you my mother's personal guard. My mother trusted you so much, and I treated you as an elder. This is how you repay the Lu family!"
Seeing Lu Nanzhe's agitated state, Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze didn't interrupt. Instead, they took out a stool and sat down to watch him deal with his family affairs.
However, he still had Old Zhang stay by his side to protect him closely, just in case someone in the group made a desperate last stand and perished together with him.
"Speak up, tell us everything you know." But the group of people remained silent with their heads down.
Chu Zhou spoke up at the opportune moment, offering several methods in a friendly manner: "We have medicine and magic that can make them tell the truth. Which one do you want?"
Lu Nanzhe stared intently at the group of people sprawled on the ground for a long while before saying, "No need. There's really nothing to say. It's all the same anyway."
After saying that, he took out a dagger he had hidden close to his body and slit the throats of these people one by one.
Finally, Lu Zhi'en said, "Go down and repent to my mother, grandparents, and other relatives!"
Lu Zhien finally raised his head, his lips trembled, and he said a few words to Lu Nanzhe.
Lu Nanzhe did not let him off the hook because of those words, and with a swift movement, he slit his throat.
After searching these people and finding some items on them, Lu Nanzhe had the robot throw them all into the sea.
Looking at the boy's face, which was filled with both anger and sorrow, Lin Qianqian sighed, "The last bit of innocence and kindness in this boy is finally gone forever."
"No, he is kind by nature. Even if he has experienced dramatic changes and betrayal, he has not fallen into darkness before, and he will not fall into darkness afterward."
Seeing Lu Nanzhe approaching with a gloomy face, Lin Qianqian still asked, "How exactly did they find you?"
