Chapter 153: Isle of Xiao
Zheng Qian and the various disabled disciples obtained the limb regeneration pills they desperately needed, and they were all tremendously thankful to Xiao Nanfeng.
"Go treat your injuries, juniors," Xiao Nanfeng instructed.
"Yes, Senior Brother!" The junior disciples immediately departed.
"Zheng Qian, I'm about to pay a visit to my master. Please accompany me."
"Elder Ku isn't at the Taiqing sect presently, or the cultivators in purple wouldn't have dared to target me," Zheng Qian replied, smiling bitterly.
"Oh?"
"A month ago, Elder Ku told me that he had reached a threshold with his cultivation and would have to leave Taiqing Island for the time being as he searched for a place to break through."
"He's right. Elder Ku did leave Taiqing Island a month ago," one of Ye Dafu's lackeys confirmed.
"In that case, Zheng Qian, you've already met my master?" Xiao Nanfeng asked curiously.
"That's right. Elder Ku even served as guarantor in your name to allow me to borrow two million taels of gold from the Taiqing sect."
"Two million taels of gold in my name?" Xiao Nanfeng was astounded.
"I heard that Zheng Qian's been using this money to buy slaves and children from all around this last half year. The Isle of Xiao has almost been filled to its brim!" one of Ye Dafu's lackeys added.
"Trading in slaves and children?" Xiao Nanfeng frowned.
Zheng Qian glanced at Ye Dafu and the others, hesitant to speak with them around.
"Ye Dafu, please keep an eye on the cultivators in purple with your group. Zheng Qian and I will be around the harbor, so come find us again later," Xiao Nanfeng instructed.
"Got it!" Ye Dafu nodded and left with his lackeys in tow.
Xiao Nanfeng and Zheng Qian walked toward a remote location by the harbor.
"I suppose I should address you as Young Master Xiao, Benefactor," Zheng Qian began.
"Since my master isn't here at present, there's no reason for me to stay. Accompany me to buy a few things. Then, we'll head back to the Isle of Xiao together," Xiao Nanfeng suggested.
"Of course!" Zheng Qian nodded.
After half a year, Zheng Qian felt that Xiao Nanfeng had changed tremendously. His strength, presence of mind, and aura had all improved. Zheng Qian found him far harder to predict and analyze than before.
Xiao Nanfeng and Zheng Qian headed to the apothecary, a weapons store, a relic store, and a miscellaneous goods store in a big loop around the island.
The news that the apothecary's shopkeep had been summarily deposed by Xiao Nanfeng quickly spread throughout the harbor. By the time Xiao Nanfeng reached the shops on his itinerary, the shopkeepers treated him with the utmost politeness. The reason he brought Zheng Qian along with him was so that they would recognize him and associate him with Xiao Nanfeng, so no one would dare to make things difficult for Zheng Qian in the future.
Xiao Nanfeng bought quite a few items from each store. Zheng Qian noted the shopkeepers' sudden deference.
Ye Dafu and his lackeys returned shortly after.
"Senior Brother, we've finished our investigation! Those cultivators in purple headed deep into the mountains to meet someone unknown to us, but their ship is currently in the harbor. I overheard that they would be heading to the Isle of Nalan," Ye Dafu whispered.
"The Isle of Nalan?"
"The Isle of Nalan is the island that the sect ceded to Emperor Tianshu. Emperor Tianshu doesn't live there, of course, and Nalan Feng is its current custodian. The cultivators in purple will likely report to him this evening."
Following Ye Dafu's finger, Xiao Nanfeng could see an island in the distance, one not too far away from his Isle of Xiao.
"Senior Brother, Nalan Feng is known to be very difficult to deal with. Please be careful!" Ye Dafu warned.
Xiao Nanfeng frowned for a moment before looking toward Ye Dafu. "Ye Dafu, you've always said that I could ask you for help with anything. I do have a request—do you dare accept it?"
"Anything you command, Senior Brother!" Ye Dafu pledged.
"I'd like you to kidnap those cultivators in purple and bring them over to me," Xiao Nanfeng whispered.
"What? Kidnap Nalan Feng's guards?!" Ye Dafu cried out.
"That's right. I had a conflict with them today, so it'd be suspicious if I were to do it myself. I need to make sure that I have an alibi while it takes place, so you'll have to do it on my behalf. Will you do so despite the risks? If not, I'll think of something else."
"Naturally, Senior Brother! I brought back a batch of sea serpents as pets for fun, and it looks like they'll come in handy. Senior Brother, I'll make my move tonight after they sail off."
Xiao Nanfeng glanced at Ye Dafu in surprise, not expecting such an immediate response.
"I'll count on you, then." Xiao Nanfeng nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother!" Ye Dafu patted his chest.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
