Chapter 5687: Hypocrisy

The owner of Xuanqiu Island did not expect that the seemingly tough-minded Huang family could not withstand the pressure in the end.

This was 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 compromised, there would have been no need for him to do anything extra.

"Well, I'm very satisfied with the congratulatory gift from the Huang family."

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

The owner of Xuanqiu Island said with a solemn expression, as if he was never the one targeting the Huang family.

"Thank you, island owner!"

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

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

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

"Island Master, please wait a moment. In fact, I have a senior accompanying me here and I have some things I want to talk to you about."

Seeing the Xuanqiu Island Master leaving, Huang Tianhua gritted his teeth and called out to stop him.

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

Now that things have been settled, keeping quiet is the best option.

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

"Um?"

The owner of Xuanqiu Island frowned slightly, turned around and took a deep look at Huang Tianhua.

Just as he thought, the owner of Xuanqiu Island felt slightly dissatisfied with Huang Tianhua who made additional demands.

Now the Huang family has something to ask of him, and they dare to make any demands and ask him to meet some so-called senior.

Could it be that this kid thinks he is very idle?

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

"Island Master, this senior is my savior."

"When I was delivering congratulatory gifts previously, I was besieged by dozens of sea beasts. If it hadn't been for this senior's intervention, I would have lost both my people and the ship in the vast ocean."

Huang Tianhua naturally felt the unkindness in the eyes of the owner of Xuanqiu Island, but he still said it bravely.

"oh?"

The owner of Xuanqiu Island shrank when he heard this. Those dozens of sea beasts were sent by him, and he knew this best.

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

Now it seems that it was the man he said took action and killed all the sea beasts he sent out.

"It doesn't matter, where is this person? Is there anything he wants to tell me?"

The owner of Xuanqiu Island calmed down the unkind look in his eyes. Since he came to see him, he might want to join Xuanqiu and work for him.

Just one person can take down dozens of sea beasts, and this kind of strength qualifies him to join his command.

"Senior Zhang, please."

Huang Tianhua was relieved when he saw this and hurriedly invited Zhang Yifeng out.

"I've met the owner of Xuanqiu Island, I'm Zhang Yifeng."

Zhang Yifeng by the window came back to his senses and said calmly to the island owner of Xuanqiu Island.

"Is that you? I didn't pay attention just now..."

The owner of Xuanqiu Island raised his eyes and spoke casually.

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

The words I originally wanted to say were swallowed in my stomach in an instant.

"you……"

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

"Young Master Huang, I have something that I need to talk to Mr. Zhang alone."

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

"Huh? Okay, okay."

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

When the owner of Xuanqiu Island saw this, his eyes fell on Xuanyuan Li and the other two people behind Zhang Yifeng.

"Island owner doesn't need to care about them. These two are my confidants. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Zhang Yifeng understood what he meant and waved his hand directly.

"Wu Gang, the guard of the Immortal Emperor's treasure house, has met the inheritor."

Upon hearing this, Wu Gang, the owner of Xuanqiu Island, immediately knelt on the ground, lowered his head and respectfully said to Zhang Yifeng.

"Master Wu, please get up quickly. I'm just one of the candidates for the inheritance, so I don't deserve such a great gift."

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

"Sir, what are you talking about? The mark on your hand has proven your identity."

"Next, you only need to enter the inheritance place to obtain Master Taiwu's legacy. You will be my master, Wu Gang!"

Wu Gang said with a solemn expression and sincere words.

"Ignoring these for now, I would like to ask Island Master Wu if he has ever met any other inheritors besides me?"

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

"I've never seen it before. Your Excellency is the first inheritor with an engraving that I've ever seen."

Wu Gang replied seriously.

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

Zhang Yifeng groaned and did not ask further about the matter.

"Of course, my duty is to guide the path for all inheritors who come to Xuanqiu."

"But it's getting late today, and the road to the inheritance place is temporarily inaccessible. Please wait until tomorrow before setting off."

Wu Gang said solemnly.

"Okay, that's troublesome."

Zhang Yifeng nodded slightly and responded calmly.

"Sir, it would be a bit condescending to stay here in your capacity. Why don't you follow me back to the island owner's mansion to wait?"

Wu Gang lowered his head and asked respectfully.

"No need, Island Master Wu will come to see me tomorrow."

Zhang Yifeng shook his head, and Wu Gang no longer insisted. He bowed and left the room.

"You all should serve the distinguished guests in this room well, and don't let me know that you are neglecting them!"

Outside the door, Wu Gang could be heard scolding the waiter of the restaurant.

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 master?"

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

The personality of the Xuanqiu Island Master is well known. He is completely moody and has never had such a good face to anyone or a family.

"Hehe, maybe he is guilty."

Zhang Yifeng chuckled and was not moved by any performance of Wu Gang at all.

"Do, do you have a guilty conscience?"

"Senior, what do you mean by that?"

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

"Before answering Huang Daoyou'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 hear what we are talking about."

Zhang Yifeng spoke in a deep voice, turned his head and looked at Steward Wang who was frozen in place.

He saw a struggling look on Steward Wang's face full of ravines.
