After uttering those harsh words, Shi Yushan turned and left.
"Lord Chang, I won't disturb your conversation with this young man any longer. See you tomorrow!"
He had achieved his goal. Looking at the cowardly and timid man in front of him, he didn't believe that the other party would dare to stay here and compete with him for the demon pearl.
After Shi Yushan left, Chang Yongxin came up.
"Young man, are you really confident in dealing with that unknown creature that appeared in the shallow waters?"
Chang Yongxin had some doubts. Although he could tell that Qiao Suinian was quite capable, it didn't mean that the other party was also very strong in the water.
Just like on land, Chang Yongxin could completely overpower Shi Yushan, but it's not necessarily the same at sea. Water-based mages have a natural advantage in the sea, which is their home ground.
The combat power of a water mage differs by at least 50% between the sea and the land.
"Not only can I deal with it, but I also have good news to tell Lord Chang: that mysterious creature can bring amazing benefits to Blue Sea City." Qiao Suinian smiled mysteriously, completely different from before.
"Oh? It brought astonishing profits to Blue Ocean City?" Chang Yongxin asked with curiosity. "I'd like to hear more details!"
"As for the specifics, Lord Chang will know tomorrow. After all, words are not enough. If I just say it without proof, Lord Chang will still have doubts. He will know the truth tomorrow!" Qiao Suinian kept everyone in suspense.
"Alright! I'll arrange a place for you to rest. See you tomorrow! May I ask your name, young man?" Chang Yongxin nodded without pressing for details.
"I will not change my name or surname, I am Ye Difeng!" Qiao Suinian cupped his hands in greeting.
"Ye Difeng? What a good name!"
Chang Yongxin nodded, then hesitated for a moment before offering a reminder.
"By the way, Brother Ye, that Shi Yushan is no pushover. If possible, you should try not to offend him, lest you get yourself into trouble!"
Qiao Suinian was taken aback upon hearing this: "You're quite kind, thank you for the reminder, Lord Chang."
However, Qiao Suinian knew very well that Shi Yushan was extremely petty, and if she showed up tomorrow, he would definitely try to retaliate against her.
After Qiao Suinian brought Beidaiku to the place arranged by Chang Yongxin, they ate a hearty meal and then went to sleep.
The next day arrived quickly. Chang Yongxin led his men to the coast early in the morning, where Shi Yushan stood quietly with his eyes closed, resting.
Qiao Suinian, however, has yet to appear.
Chang Yongxin frowned, somewhat puzzled. Qiao Suinian should have arrived by now, could it be that she overslept?
"Didn't I tell you to go and call people this morning? Why didn't you go?" Chang Yongxin asked his subordinates.
"Sir! We've gone! But that young master said he had something to attend to, so he left immediately!" a subordinate hurriedly replied.
"You've gone out?" Chang Yongxin's brows furrowed even deeper.
"Hehe, Lord Chang, no need to wait any longer. I suppose that kid was just a swindler. Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, he slunk away." Shi Yushan chuckled.
In his view, Qiao Suinian must have been so frightened by his threats that he fled in panic.
Chang Yongxin was somewhat displeased, but there was nothing he could say.
"In that case, we can only rely on Master Yushan today! Please do your best, Master Yushan!"
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Chang Yongxin, who was asking for a favor, could only force a smile.
"Sure, haha."
Shi Yushan was laughing happily when an untimely voice suddenly rang out from the side.
"I apologize, Lord Chang, I went to prepare some things, so I'm late."
Qiao Suinian appeared with Beidaiku, who was carrying dozens of hollow steel pipes on his back, the purpose of which was unknown.
"It's alright, it's good that you're here!" Chang Yongxin nodded, a joyful smile appearing on his face.
On the other hand, Shi Yushan's face was as black as if his own mother had just exploded.
"You actually dare to come here? Fine, very well!" Shi Yushan gritted his teeth. If Chang Yongxin hadn't been watching from the side, he would have definitely attacked Qiao Suinian directly.
"Master Yushan, what are you saying? Lord Chang invited me, of course I have to come." Qiao Suinian blinked innocently.
"Lord Chang, are you really going to trust such a greenhorn?" Shi Yushan threatened Chang Yongxin. "Don't blame me for not warning you, if this kid causes trouble and alerts the things below, you'll bear all the consequences!"
Chang Yongxin hesitated for a moment. Although he was annoyed by Shi Yushan's opportunistic behavior, Shi Yushan was still quite capable. If Qiao Suinian really messed things up, then he would indeed suffer a loss.
"Don't worry, let Master Yushan make the first move. If Master Yushan can't handle it, then I'll step in," Qiao Suinian said very reasonably.
"Are you kidding me? You think I can't handle this?" Shi Yushan jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his eyes looking like he wanted to devour someone.
“Master Yushan, please don’t get agitated. What Brother Ye said makes sense. If Master Yushan could solve this, then there wouldn’t be any follow-up issues, would there?”
Chang Yongxin also saw the murderous intent in Shi Yushan's eyes and quickly stepped in front of him.
But Shi Yushan clearly couldn't swallow this insult; he stared coldly at Qiao Suinian.
"Kid, since you're so arrogant, how about we make a bet?"
"Oh? What are we betting on?" Qiao Suinian asked with interest.
"I'll bet your life! If I can deal with this unknown creature in the sea, I'll take your life!" Shi Yushan said viciously.
What if you lose?
"Lose? I'll lose? Hahahaha! What a joke!" Shi Yushan burst into laughter.
“Yes, I think you will lose.” Qiao Suinian nodded, her expression very serious.
Shi Yushan's smile froze on his face as he stared intently at Qiao Suinian.
"I'll lose? Ha, that's hilarious! If I lose, I'll give you my life. Is that fair? I'm betting my life on your worthless life. You're really making a killing, kid!"
"Deal!" Qiao Suinian smiled brightly.
"Gentlemen, maybe we shouldn't go this far..." Chang Yongxin felt a chill run down his spine. Why were these two suddenly risking their lives?
"Lord Chang, this is a private matter between me and this kid, so you don't need to bother with it. If you're determined to protect this kid, then I'll leave!" Shi Yushan looked coldly at Chang Yongxin, his threat evident in his words.
"you!!"
Chang Yongxin was somewhat angry, but considering the people of Lanhai City, he ultimately did not act impulsively and swallowed his anger.
"Kid, you just wait, your life is mine now. I'll make you regret ever being born!"
Shi Yushan gave Qiao Suinian a sinister sneer, then turned and walked directly towards the sea.
