Chapter 244: Chapter 149 Zhen Xiaoxiao_3

“Spit… they are all bad people.

“Only the Master is good, said he would deal with those people and then we could eat, and indeed there was food.”

She said this, looking towards Su Mo, with a big smile on her face.

Her eyes, although small in her chubby face, were pure and sparkling, shining like flawless gems.

While chatting along the way, Three Rivers Bay soon appeared before them.

At this time, it was almost dawn in the east, yet there were still people on the dock.

For them, if Jiaolong Association couldn’t reopen the river, it would be a disaster.

But last night, first, someone braved the waves by boat along the river.

And then a boat of monks also headed towards the Jiaolong Association.

The initial braver of the waves was hard to define, but they knew the origin of the monks that followed.

Everywhere along the river, the tale of the Hongyun Demon Monk filled ears!

Before, they treated it as a joke, but now they were eagerly looking forward to ZhuGe Changtian getting a harsh ritual shaving by the Hongyun Demon Monk, wishing his scalp could be shaved off.

So they all waited here, hoping for a definite confirmation.

But as they raised their heads, they saw Jiaolong Association’s boat arriving at Three Rivers Bay.

For a moment, everyone was staring in shock.

Not knowing who the unfortunate soul was, someone cried out:

“Jiaolong Association is coming ashore to loot!”

Stirring up a storm with a single stone, the people on the docks sprang into action.

Regrettably, it was the dead of winter, chilling to the bone along the river, people frozen overnight, their limbs stiff and unresponsive; several fell to the ground with a thud before they could escape.

Suddenly, there was a frantic shouting.

Someone on the boat then majestically projected his voice:

“Do not panic, we are not here to rob!”

The speaker was a minor leader of Jiaolong Association, with decent Inner Strength, his voice spreading far, actually managed to quell the turmoil.

When people turned around, they saw him standing at the ship head, declaring loudly:

“Everyone, please remain calm, we are here firstly to deliver someone.

“Secondly, by the order of the Master, concerning Jiaolong Association’s recent actions of blocking the river with boats, we must give everyone an explanation.

“This incident was due to internal strife within Jiaolong Association, coupled with an invasion by the Demon Sect, thus the chaos arose.

“The Master has been trapped and confined during this period.

“If not for…”

At this point, he turned to look back, expecting to see Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun among others, but to his surprise, Su Mo, Yang Xiaoyun, and the chubby man had all disappeared without a trace.

After a moment of contemplation, he continued: “If not for the rescue by a highly skilled person, the Demon Sect might have succeeded.

“Now, the Jiaolong Association has managed to restore order internally, and the Master deeply regrets the events, therefore, he has decided to open up the waters under our control for a month.

“Passing boats are free to go through without any charge!”

After these words, a long silence followed.

Soon after, someone spoke up: “Is that true?”

“Are you not deceiving us again?”

“That’s right, the Yunyang Trading Company was fooled by you, leading to a bloodbath onboard…”

“How can you prove what you’re saying is true?”

With one leading, immediately followed by another, the discussion became heated.

The water bandit from Jiaolong Association narrowed his eyes.

First, he muttered, ’Hmm?”, then sneered:

“Believe it or not, leave if you want!

“Those who spoke up just now, be careful with your heads.”

After saying this, he gestured: “Return to course!”

The large boat immediately turned back, leaving behind a group of astounded merchants on the dock.

Only then did they realize, the man who spoke to them was not someone reasonable…

Along the River, expecting confirmation from a thief was already generous enough, let alone asking for evidence?

Did they really think these profit-cycle transactions were for nothing?

Especially those who had just spoken up, they were particularly anxious, feeling as if their heads were already at risk.

By the riverside, on the riverbank.

Su Mo casually set down Zhen Xiaoxiao’s massive form on the ground, while still holding Yang Xiaoyun with his other hand.

Looking from afar at the bustling, panicked crowd, he couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.

“Does this count as shooting oneself in the foot?”

Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t help but laugh and cry: “For ZhuGe Changtian to explain to them is already admirable…”

Across from them, Chu Qiuyu and others were also helpless:

“People’s desires are hard to satisfy; they just forget who they are dealing with.

“When do the three of you plan to leave Three Rivers Bay?”

“Wait until there’s a boat brave enough to set out.”

Su Mo smiled and asked: “What about Heroine Chu and the others?”

“The same.”

Though not deeply acquainted, Su Mo had saved Chu Qiuyu and her fellow disciples several times, naturally making their relationship somewhat special.

Right away, Chu Qiuyu suggested they travel together for a stretch along the river, and Su Mo agreed.

In fact, these merchants were much braver than imagined, perhaps due to being pushed too hard, for continuing to stay in Three Rivers Bay would likely result in a tragedy of family and personal ruin.

Thus, the very first merchant ship daring to leave Three Rivers Bay soon set out.

The ship traveled a whole morning, and news soon returned to Three Rivers Bay that the waters controlled by Jiaolong Association were indeed open and unobstructed.

Moreover, from a distance, it seemed like there had been a fire at Jiaolong Association.

This made the words of that minor leader before even more credible.

Immediately many boats left Three Rivers Bay, Su Mo, Yang Xiaoyun, Zhen Xiaoxiao, along with the female heroes of Lengyue Palace, all boarded a merchant ship.

Sailing through fierce waves, they swiftly left Three Rivers Bay and officially entered the river route heading towards Dongcheng Territory.

On the deck, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun leaned against the railing to observe the scenery along the river.

Chu Qiuyu came to their side.

“Heroine Chu.”

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun greeted with a fist salute.

“Lord Su, Chief Yang.”

Chu Qiuyu returned the salute with a fist, not yet speaking, she first sighed:

“The reason it was so hurried that night, it’s really… ah, this matter is quite complicated, I didn’t want to burden Lord Su with it. However, after several life-saving actions, it’s indeed hard to keep it to myself.

“It’s not that we, the sisters, do not appreciate the lifesaving grace and set it aside; it’s just that there was a bit of an issue between Lengyue Palace and Ziyang Sect.”
