Chapter 5687 Hypocrisy

The master of Xuanqiu Island did not expect that the Huang family, which seemed to be a tough family, would eventually fail to withstand the pressure.

This is also the reason why he had previously sent sea beasts to attack the Huang family’s merchant ships.

If he had known that the Huang family had already compromised, there would have been no need for him to do this.

"Well, I am very satisfied with the gift sent by the Huang family."

"From today on, the Huang family's trade routes in the four seas will be protected by Xuanqiu Island. If anyone attacks the Huang family at sea, I will do my best to encircle and suppress them!"

The Lord of Xuanqiu Island spoke with a stern look, as if he had never been the one targeting the Huang family.

"Thank you, island owner!"

Huang Tianhua stood up excitedly upon hearing this and bowed respectfully to the owner of Xuanqiu Island.

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

The Lord of Xuanqiu Island waved his hand casually, stood up and prepared to leave to meet guests from other families.

"Please wait a moment, island master. Actually, I have a senior accompanying me here who wants to discuss something with you."

Seeing that the leader of Xuanqiu Island was about to leave, Huang Tianhua gritted his teeth and called out to stop him.

He could also see the contempt the owner of Xuanqiu Island had for the Huang family.

Now that the deal has been made, keeping quiet is the best option.

But Huang Tianhua's character made it impossible for him to remain quiet. Senior Zhang saved his life, and now was the time for him to repay him.

"Ok?"

The Lord of Xuanqiu Island frowned slightly, turned around and looked at Huang Tianhua deeply.

Just as he thought, the Lord of Xuanqiu Island felt a little dissatisfied with Huang Tianhua who made additional requests.

Now the Huang family needs his help, yet they dare to make demands and even ask him to meet the so-called senior.

Could it be that this guy thinks he has a lot of free time?

Thinking of this, the owner of Xuanqiu Island looked at Huang Tianhua with a bit more hostility in his eyes.

"Island Master, this senior is my savior."

"When I was delivering the gifts, I was besieged by dozens of sea beasts. If it weren't for this senior's help, I'm afraid I would have been buried in the vast ocean with my boat."

Huang Tianhua naturally sensed the hostility in the eyes of the master of Xuanqiu Island, but he still spoke with gritted teeth.

"Oh?"

The pupils of the master of Xuanqiu Island shrank when he heard this. He was the one who sent those dozens of sea beasts, and he knew this matter best.

It just so happened that he had been wondering how Huang Tianhua dealt with these sea beasts.

Now it seems that it was this man he mentioned who took action and eliminated all the sea beasts he sent out.

"Well, where is this person? What do you want to tell me?"

The Lord of Xuanqiu Island concealed the unfriendly look in his eyes. Since he came to find him, perhaps he wanted to join Xuanqiu and work for him.

Being able to deal with dozens of sea beasts by himself, such strength makes him qualified to join his team.

"Senior Zhang, please."

Huang Tianhua breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this and quickly invited Zhang Yifeng out.

"Meet the master of Xuanqiu Island. I am Zhang Yifeng."

Zhang Yifeng, who was standing by the window, came back to his senses and bowed to the master of Xuanqiu Island in a calm tone.

"Is it you? I didn't notice it just now..."

The owner of Xuanqiu Island looked up and spoke casually.

While speaking, he was also looking at Zhang Yifeng carefully, until he saw the faintly glowing mark on the back of Zhang Yifeng's hand, his pupils suddenly shrank.

The words that I wanted to say were swallowed back in an instant.

"you……"

His mind trembled slightly, and the master of Xuanqiu Island tried his best to calm himself down.

"Master Huang, I have something I need to discuss with Mr. Zhang alone."

The Lord of Xuanqiu Island turned his head and spoke to Huang Tianhua in a deep voice.

"Huh? Good, good."

Huang Tianhua was stunned for a moment, but immediately agreed and quickly led people out of the room.

Upon seeing this, the Lord of Xuanqiu Island cast his gaze on Xuanyuan Li and the other person behind Zhang Yifeng.

"Island Master, don't worry about them. These two are my trusted followers. Just speak directly if you have anything to say."

Zhang Yifeng understood what he meant and waved his hand.

"Wu Gang, the guard of the Immortal Emperor's Treasury, greets the inheritor."

Upon hearing this, Wu Gang, the master of Xuanqiu Island, half-knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and spoke respectfully to Zhang Yifeng.

"Master Wu, please stand up quickly. I am just one of the candidates for succession and do not deserve such a great gift."

Zhang Yifeng walked forward with a smile and helped Wu Gang up.

"Your Excellency, what are you talking about? The seal on your hand has already proved your identity."

"Next, you just need to enter the inheritance land to obtain the relics of Master Taiwu, and you will be my Wu Gang's master!"

Wu Gang spoke solemnly and earnestly.

"Let's put these aside for now. May I ask Island Master Wu, have you ever seen any other inheritors besides me?"

Zhang Yifeng smiled and shook his head, staring at Wu Gang and asked.

"I have never seen him before. You are the first inheritor I have ever seen who came with a mark."

Wu Gang replied seriously.

"Well... I wonder if Island Master Wu can take me to this place of inheritance?"

Zhang Yifeng groaned for a moment and did not ask any further questions.

"Of course, my duty is to guide the way for all the inheritors who come to Hanging Hill."

"However, it is already late today, and the road leading to the inheritance land is temporarily inaccessible. Please wait until tomorrow to set off again."

Wu Gang said this with a solemn expression.

"Okay, that's troublesome."

Zhang Yifeng nodded slightly and responded calmly.

"Sir, it would be a bit condescending for you to stay here. Why don't you follow me back to the island owner's residence and wait?"

Wu Gang lowered his head and asked respectfully.

"No need, Island Master Wu, just come find me tomorrow."

Zhang Yifeng shook his head. Wu Gang no longer insisted and left the room after saying a respectful word.

"You all must serve the distinguished guests in this room well, and never let me know that you are being negligent!"

Outside the door, one could hear Wu Gang scolding the restaurant waiter.

Not long after, Huang Tianhua, who had left earlier, returned to the room with his men and looked at Zhang Yifeng in disbelief.

"Senior, what is your relationship with the island owner?"

"Why did the island owner ask the waiter at the restaurant to entertain us well after he left?"

Everyone knows the character of the owner of Xuanqiu Island. He is extremely moody and has never been kind to anyone or any family.

"Oh, maybe he is just guilty."

Zhang Yifeng chuckled and was not moved by Wu Gang's performance at all.

"Do, do you feel guilty as a thief?"

"Senior, what do you mean by that?"

Huang Tianhua was stunned on the spot, not understanding the true meaning of Zhang Yifeng's words.

"Before answering Fellow Daoist Huang's question, please tell me the truth, Steward Wang, what exactly is the birthday gift that your Huang family sent to Wu Gang?"

"Don't worry, I have set up a formation in this room. Unless I want, no one will ever be able to hear what we are talking about."

Zhang Yifeng spoke in a deep voice and turned to look at Butler Wang who was standing frozen in place.

Butler Wang's wrinkled face showed a look of struggle.
