1086 The fish have taken the bait (2)(Chapter preview)

Sima You Yue had just reached the top of the boat when she heard the shouts from below.

"You Yue! You Yue!"

She turned around and saw Kong Xiang Yi running over.

"Xiang Yi? What are you doing here?" Sima You Yue acted surprised as she smiled towards Kong Xiang Yi.

She just arrived in front of the group, and since nobody had seen them together, it didn't rouse anyone's suspicion now that they both of them had met.

"We just arrived as well." Kong Xiang Yi said, "You Yue, are you going to cross the waters?"

"Yes I am." Sima You Yue didn't hide it.

"Could you take us with you?"

Sima You Yue hesitated for a moment before nodding, "You saved my life the last time. It's a given that I'll take you across."

Kong Xiang Yi smiled, saying, "Then I'll have to thank you!"

"Xiang Yi." Elder Wu and Kong Xiang Qi came over and looked at her. Their meaning was clear.

Kong Xiang Yi was a smart person as well. She knew what he meant immediately.

"That…" She was in a difficult position as she looked at Sima You yue, "You Yue, will you be able to take the people from Yin Yang Palace across as well?"

Sima You Yue raised her brows, "Are you guys close?"

"I already promised Elder Wu earlier that I would take him with me if I were able to cross over. That… can you?"

"No way!" Ximen Feng walked over and rejected it immediately.

"Valley Master." Sima You Yue looked at Ximen Feng as if he were her senior.

"You Yue, we already have many people with us. We'll take Kong Valley with us because they have saved your life once before. We have no relationship with the Yin Yang Palace!" Ximen Feng said.

"But I once promised Xiang Yi that I would agree to her request. Anything she asked." Sima You Yue acted as if she were completely at a loss and didn't want to go back on her words.

"You Yue…"

"Valley Master, you won't make me into someone who can't keep his word, right?"

When Sima You Yue said this, Ximen Feng couldn't say anything more.

"That's right, that's right! You Yue promised me!" Kong Xian Yi looked pointedly at Elder Wu.

Elder Wu immediately came to his senses and cupped his fists, "This lowly one is the elder of Yin Yang Palace. If you can take us with you, we would be eternally grateful."

"Then do you have anything that you can offer us?" Little Seven opened her mouth to say.

"..." Elder Wu didn't think that they would ask him such a question under everyone's gaze. Was this not daylight robbery?!

However, he saw Ximen Feng's apathetic gaze and could only keep his temper in check as he said with a smile, "If you can take us with you, we will give you twenty percent of the treasure."

"Forty percent." Ximen Feng said.

Elder Wu pursed his lips, saying, "Thirty percent. This is the highest we will go!"

Ximen Feng thought it over for a bit, "You guys can only stay on the deck."

After speaking, he turned around and left the deck.

Sima You Yue saw that he had no further objections as she waved to Kong Xiang Yi, saying, "Xiang Yi, come on up!"

"Elder Wu, let's go!"

Kong Xiang Yi happily ran up and the people from Kong Valley and Yin Yang palace followed up as well. The people who were watching from the side were beyond themselves with jealousy.

If they had a good relationship with Sima You yue, they would be able to get a seat there as well.

The way they saw it, Sima You Yue was an idiot. How could they take someone else along at a time like this?! Who else besides an idiot would do something like this?

At the same time, they understood something else. Sima You Yue had a high position in Heartbreak Valley. Even the Valley Master gave her preferential treatment.

Once Kong Valley and Yin Yan Palace members had gone up the boat, Sima You Yue instructed them to set off. Little Seven piloted the ship in a carefree way.

The boat slowly left the shore and headed towards the island. Everyone appeared smaller until they finally disappeared completely. Those who were watching from shore were incredibly envious.

"Why are you still zoning out?! You should be constructing the boats quickly!"

"This seawater changes every five days, and two days have already gone by. They're only two days quicker than we are. That doesn't mean they'll get the treasure!" Some people consoled themselves.

"That's right. They won't necessarily get the treasure just because they arrived first." Someone agreed, "It's not like this treasure is first-come first-served. Only the predestined ones will get it!"

"You guys are just complaining that the grapes are sour because you can't have any. Once they obtain the treasure, we'll see if you guys can still sing the same tune!"

"Hmph, so what if they can get it?! You don't know whose hands it will finally land up in!"

Alright, those who said these words were definitely planning to steal it!

"You dare steal from Heartbreak Valley?" Someone sneered, "Don't forget their identity. Are you not afraid that the entire bird clan will come after you for revenge?"

"There are so many people from Blood Fiend City. Are you able to defeat them? Don't steal from them today only to get your clan exterminated tomorrow!"

"The Violet Water Dragon Clan is the leader of the ninth star sea. Do you dare to steal from their prince?"

"Eh…" The one who spoke those words earlier started to break out in sweat. It was as if he was terrified by what they said.

"I was just saying! I wouldn't really dare to steal from them! But the wonderland is huge and many people have entered. They wouldn't all be afraid of them, right?"

At the very least, those from the ghost clan and devil clan wouldn't be afraid!

"Who knows! Don't forget who his master is. One is Xu Jin, another is Old Man Devil and another is Feng Zhi Xing. Every single one of them is an influential figure in the inner regions!"

"Old Man Devil and Xun Jin have disappeared for many years. Who knows where they've gone! As for that Feng Zhi Xing, he's someone from the inner regions and is too far away to be of any threat!"

"Hehe, you can go ahead and try if you're not afraid."

"Eh, I'm not that gutsy! I was talking about others!"

"Sigh, instead of letting your mind wander, you might as well complete the construction of your boat!"

"Sigh, you're right."

"Why are you daydreaming about this? Hurry and fix the boat!"

"Yes, Young Sect Master!"

...

Those from the Yin Yang Palace and Kong Valley were on the deck. The disciples from Heartbreak Valley were standing on the deck as well. They folded their arms, glaring at them.

"Xiang Yi, you guys can find anywhere to take a seat. I'm going down to take a look." Sima You Yue smiled at Kong Xiang Yi.

"Do you want to go to the cabin? Can I come with you?" Kong Xiang Yi asked excitedly.

This was the first time that she had seen such a warship. She had only seen them while flying in the sky before, and was incredibly curious back then.

Sima You Yue hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright, but don't touch anything. If anything breaks, we might have to remain on the waters."

"Relax!" Kong Xiang Yi patted her chest as she promised.

"Come with me, then."

The others watched as Kong Xiang Yi followed Sima You Yue down, incredibly jealous.

They were curious as well and wanted to go down to take a look too!

It was a pity that they didn't have a good relationship with her and could ask her to take them too.

As Sima You Yue and Kong Xiang Yi went downstairs, Little Seven sat on the chair with both legs on the dash, leisurely biting on a radish.
