Su Mo sighed at this sight:

"I set a feast on the ship intending to get to know a few newly acquainted people from the sea.

"But I didn't expect that Lord Zeng would just leave without informing.

"Indeed, people's hearts have turned bad...

"Words like 'drinking and feasting together' just now turned out to be untrustworthy.

"Today, it's clear I'm not being shown any respect...

"In that case, then don't blame me, Su Mo, for forcibly keeping the guests!"

As his words fell, a gust of wind suddenly stirred up over the sea.

Several people on the Bohai Trading Company ship were stunned, feeling as if the fierce wind flashed past, rolling away.

Upon turning back, Su Mo's figure was already nowhere to be seen.

They couldn't help but look at Yang Xiaoyun and the others in surprise:

"This... Chief Su, he?"

Then they heard Yang Xiaoyun laughingly say:

"My husband rarely entertains guests; today he's suddenly in the mood. Naturally, he doesn't want the guests to leave.

"He went to keep the guests, of course, that's a polite way to say it."

Ding Luo and the others looked at each other in hesitation, after which Ning Tieqiu considered his words and spoke:

"Madam Su, Chief Su's martial arts are indeed impressive.

"But that Sea Snake Zeng Chou is by no means an ordinary person.

"With a dragon-patterned blade and a body of steel bones, he has some fame in the Nanhai.

"Under him, there are several experts; forgive me for saying, we ended up at a disadvantage fighting them.

"Now with Chief Su acting rashly, caution is advised... perhaps we should also..."

As he carefully chose his words, he felt the sound of the wind once again howling up.

Looking up, someone was already standing in front of them.

It was indeed Su Mo.

But Su Mo had someone in his grip.

This person looked menacing and evil, with a bare chest, a hairy chest, holding a dragon-patterned blade.

If he stood straight, he would certainly appear formidable.

Unfortunately, at this moment, he looked like a chick being held in someone's hand.

His face was full of anxious confusion.

Looking around, he realized he was no longer on his ship, but in another place.

This... this... this is outrageous!

What exactly is going on?

Su Mo's Qinggong was too fast; Zeng Chou really had no time to react.

He intended to leave quickly, but after feeling an evil wind, he found himself in the air.

Before he could understand the cloud scenery, when he focused again, he looked up and saw the sail with 'Ziyang Escort Agency' written on it.

For a moment, his heart kept trembling, sweat barely visible on his forehead.

He felt as if he had seen a ghost.

Zeng Chou felt he had seen a ghost, while Wang Chengying and the others felt they had encountered an Immortal.

What is this?

Taking a chief on the sea is like reaching into a bag and taking something out?

After two gusts of wind, no one's shadow was seen; as soon as the wind settled, Su Mo had the sea snake in hand?

What kind of martial arts is this?

Among them, Ding Luo's expression subtly changed, and a thought seemed to occur.

He glanced again at the 'Ziyang Escort Agency' sail above and nearly exclaimed, but stifled it.

When he looked at Su Mo again, his eyes were filled with astonishment.

Su Mo looked at Sea Snake Zeng Chou with a faint smile:

"Lord Zeng, I, Su, am quite thrifty, thus rarely entertain guests.

"Inviting you with such enthusiasm today, yet Lord Zeng completely disrespects it.

"Doesn't Lord Zeng owe me an explanation?"

Zeng Chou didn't dare utter a curse, looked back at his pirate ship, seemingly the crew hadn't noticed their chief being taken.

It's drifting farther away, soon to vanish from sight.

He sighed inwardly repeatedly, what should he do?

Turning back to Su Mo, he took a deep breath:

"...Ziyang Escort Agency, impressive skills.

"At such a young age, you possess such skill; today I, Zeng, admit defeat. May I ask for your esteemed name?"

"Lord Zeng is too kind."

Su Mo smiled and said, "I am Su Mo, honored to be Chief of the Ziyang Escort Agency. It's our first meeting today, please forgive my eagerness to keep the guests."

"..."

Zeng Chou was speechless.

It's one thing to keep guests, but why point the guests' acupoints while doing so?

He had already tried circulating his Inner Strength secretly, only to find he couldn't move it at all.

Knowing this time he was completely caught, unwillingly yet resigned to his fate.

He wanted to speak some unflattering words, but after hesitating, he dared not rashly open his mouth.

If he said, 'Kill me or let me be, it's up to you,' and Su Mo did just that, what then?

As the saying goes, I'm the fish on the chopping block, facing adversity submissively.

However, Su Mo did not make things difficult for him.

With a wave, he truly prepared a feast.

The ship plentiful with water and food, everything almost ready at hand.

Soon a table was laid.

The guests took their places, Wang Chengying and others expressed immense gratitude to Su Mo.

Meanwhile, they probed Su Mo's background a little.

Upon learning Su Mo came from Donghuang, everyone's expressions varied.

Ding Luo seemed to have a pre-calculation, his demeanor grew even more constrained.

The others found the explanation increasingly familiar yet somewhat elusive, unable to grasp fully.

Zeng Chou frowned deeply.

People of Jianghu from Donghuang coming to Nanhai aren't unheard of but rare.

Encountering one is rarely a master.

Yet unexpectedly, a Sea Crossing Divine Dragon appeared.

Su Mo paid no mind, casually inquiring about Bohai Trading Company's origins.

He learned it wasn't an ordinary family.

But one among Nanhai's Hundred Merchants Alliance.

Hundred Merchants is just a term, not really a hundred families.

The Wang family of Wang Chengying siblings founded Bohai Association since their ancestors.

Passed down till now, reached a considerable scale.

In this sea region, also quite reputable.

But upon discussing this, Wang Chengying inevitably furrowed his brow at Zeng Chou:

"This voyage shouldn't be difficult, what's onboard shouldn't even catch the eye of someone like Lord Zeng.

"How come, suddenly targeting our ship this time?"

"Hmm?"

Zeng Chou sneered at Wang Chengying:

"Do I need to point out what's really on your ship?"
