Sakada Sotsuki looked preoccupied, picked up his short dagger, and returned to his room.
Su Yang looked up at the starry sky. It was late, and apart from the sound of waves crashing, there was no other noise around.
At the current speed, they would be able to land by evening tomorrow and reach the capital the day after.
Given the capabilities of the Shangguan family, they had likely already traced Su Yang's location.
The current peace was only temporary.
"Shangguan family, I'm really looking forward to clashing with you!"
Su Yang smiled slightly and turned to walk into the ship's cabin.
The main engine room of the Yangwei was controlled by intelligent robots.
Therefore, Su Yang had no worries about not meeting his planned schedule.
"Su Yang, come with me for a moment."
At this moment, Liu Shishi walked in, leaning against the wall.
Su Yang was surprised, "You want to come for a moment? Can your body handle it?"
"I meant for you to come to my room to talk, not that other thing. What are you thinking about?"
Liu Shishi blushed. She dared not really "come for a moment"; she would probably not be able to even crawl.
"Alright, whatever you want to talk about, say it here!"
Su Yang helped Liu Shishi to sit down and closed the door.
"Well, regarding Qingcheng, Pei Qi and I don't plan to go back. We're thinking of developing in Songhai. Can you arrange a place for us to stay first?"
"Shishi, aren't you closing the bar?"
"No, there aren't many people here. Relying solely on your people, our bar can't make money. So, we thought of developing in Songhai and continuing our old line of business."
"I thought it was something big. Of course, such a small matter is no problem."
Su Yang helped Liu Shishi lie down, "Anything else can be discussed later. Let's get some good rest first."
"Don't mess around..."
Liu Shishi tried to push Su Yang away, but her strength was no match for his. Unable to resist, she could only endure it.
The next evening, the setting sun was like blood.
The sea was both red and blue, appearing very eerie.
A sea breeze blew, and Su Yang smelled the scent of salt and blood in the wind.
He had been entangled with Liu Shishi last night, only resting at four in the morning.
After a good half-day of recuperation, Su Yang was now full of energy, ready to face the unknown crisis.
Behind him were Yuan Kui and the other four, as well as Sakada Sotsuki, who looked dejected.
"Notify them, prepare to dock!"
"Yes, boss!"
Under the control of the robots, the Yangwei slowly approached the dock and stopped.
The cannons on the front, back, left, and right of the Yangwei were ready, able to fire at any moment.
"Let's go, we'll find a hotel to stay for the night first!"
Su Yang waved his hand, and the six people behind him followed him off the ship.
There were many people at the dock. Seeing the Yangwei, they pointed and talked.
After all, the Yangwei was too large, and the texture of the steel plates was imposing, making it look very domineering.
Yuan Kui rubbed his stomach and looked at Shen Qiu, who was wrapped in white cloth. "After eating sea fish for three days and three nights, my stomach has no oil. Should we find a place to eat our fill first?"
"Why are you asking me? Just listen to the boss's arrangements."
Just as Su Yang was about to speak, he suddenly saw several cars speeding towards them.
All black Maybach business cars.
The cars stopped abruptly, and the men in suits and bodyguards got out.
Then, an old man with white hair walked down.
"Su Yang, this old man has finally waited for you."
Su Yang raised an eyebrow, "Are you Shangguan Zhongtang?"
The old man in front of him leaned on a cane, his eyes narrowed to slits, not at all like the legendary Shangguan Zhongtang.
The old man shook his head, "Would the Zhongtang Order personally come to see a young junior like you? You are not worthy of meeting him!"
The old man spoke, raising his head, his tone revealing no hidden arrogance.
"So, who are you? Why are you waiting for me here?"
"This old man is Shi Mo, the butler of the Shangguan family. I am waiting for you because of Young Master Yi."
Su Yang suddenly understood. He had long guessed that Shangguan Zhongtang had found out about his movements.
After all, they were a thousand-year-old family in the capital, and they could easily obtain information about any disturbance outside.
Not to mention, the Yangwei was such a large cruise ship, it was too conspicuous.
However, Su Yang was not flustered. The bigger the commotion he caused, the safer Chu Tianye would be.
"Actually, you don't need to wait here, because you will see your young master tomorrow."
Shi Mo narrowed his eyes, "Su Yang, let me advise you. Hand over our young master obediently, and then come back with me to see the master. Perhaps the master will show great mercy and let you and your people go. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise, what?"
Shi Mo waved his hand, and the bodyguards he brought out their guns from their waists.
"You and your people will all die here!"
Yuan Kui stood in front of Su Yang, his hands clenched, ready to fight.
The others also took out their weapons, preparing for a tough battle.
Su Yang pushed Yuan Kui aside, "It's foolish to start shooting each other. You guys retreat first."
"Boss, be careful!"
"Don't worry, they can't kill me!"
Su Yang was wearing a Heavenly Silkworm Divine Silk vest; these ordinary bullets couldn't break its defense.
Moreover, he was confident that he could capture Shi Mo within a second.
"Steward Shi, tell your men to put down their guns. Let's talk about something."
Shi Mo thought he was backing down and showed a disdainful smile. Then he waved to signal the bodyguards to put away their weapons.
"What? What do you want to talk about?"
"I ask you, where is Shi Wuzun now?"
Su Yang only wanted to know if Shi Wuzun was alive or dead, and paid no attention to Shi Mo's sarcastic remarks.
"Shi Wuzun? That old immortal has already been locked up by the master. Why are you looking for him?"
"Steward Shi, you are just a butler, to put it bluntly, you are an old and disabled watchdog. Shi Wuzun is the commander of the Zhenguo Army, one of the nine departments of Longguo, and has made infinite contributions to Longguo.
What right do you, an old man, have to look down on Shi Wuzun? 'Old immortal,' you're talking about yourself, aren't you?"
"You... presumptuous!"
Shi Mo pointed at Su Yang furiously, trembling with anger, his cane shaking.
Su Yang calling him an old and disabled watchdog had struck a nerve.
"Su Yang, this old man will not argue with you. I will only ask you, where is my young master?"
"Oh? The Shangguan family has also found their son?"
"Nonsense! You split into two groups, ordered someone to take a detour with Young Master Yi back to the capital, do you think we don't know?"
Su Yang sneered, "If you know, then go find him. Don't ask me!"
"Damn it, I see you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Go, kill him!"
Shi Mo was furious and waved to signal the bodyguards to attack.
Su Yang's figure flashed, and his hand formed a claw, gripping Shi Mo's throat.
"You... what kind of speed is this?"
Shi Mo's eyes widened, looking at Su Yang in disbelief.
He had only seen darkness before his eyes, and then his throat was grabbed.
"Tell me, where exactly is Shi Wuzun imprisoned?"
"Su Yang, this old man is the butler of the Shangguan family. Do you dare to touch me?"
Shi Mo said fearlessly. In Longguo, no matter who it was from any family, they would show him some respect.
After all, he was the butler of the Shangguan family, and relying on Shangguan Zhongtang's favor, who would dare to disrespect him?
