Chapter 1111: Slipped Away

His words piqued the man’s interest. He touched his chin with his free hand.

“Why don’t you tell me more?

“Well… My idea doesn’t fall from a tree. How about…” The person’s intention was clear.

The man understood. The boat owner was after the 100 broken demonic crystals he had.

However, if he could go to Demon Heart Island, he would be willing to spend 100 broken demonic crystals. He could obtain so much more than 100 lousy demonic crystals there.

“How much do you want?” he asked, letting go of the person’s collar.

This was indeed not the time to calculate how many broken demonic crystals he had. Moreover…

He looked at the person in front of him meaningfully. How could someone like him plot against his possessions? When could anyone plot against his possessions easily?

He would make this person spit up what he had eaten in the same manner.

“Hehe, not much, not much.”

The person smiled when he heard that. He pressed his palms together and rubbed them in front of him.

“I’m not that confident either. Young Master, you can just give me 50 broken demonic crystals. I’m really not asking for much.”

Upon hearing that, the man almost slapped him.

He wanted 50 broken demonic crystals in exchange for an idea? Did he think his broken demonic crystals came from nowhere? He had worked hard to earn them. He never once looked at other people who offered him ideas in the past. “50 demonic crystals? Let’s see what great idea you’ll tell me.”

He took a deep breath and threw a money bag into the person’s arms. The person took the bag and looked at the contents. He smiled.

“Young Master, listen to me. If you head that way, there are merchant boats there too. They are different from the rental boats here; they are for sale. You can buy a boat there, then go to North Commercial Street to buy a few peasants to be your boatmen.

“Although those peasants have low status, they have more experience with the sea than us. They’ll definitely be able to bring you to Demon Heart Island.” With that, he slipped away quickly, not giving the man a chance to react.

“Damn it!”

The man did not react in time. Otherwise, he would have caught this cunning person and recovered the broken demonic crystals.

Those few words cost him 50 broken demonic crystals!

“Huff!” He put his hands on his hips and took a deep breath. “Forget it. Going to Demon Heart Island is more important.”

Since the people from Jun Lin Hall would definitely chase after them, he did not dare to stay here for too long. He quickly followed that person’s instructions and went to buy a boat.

As for this person who dared to scheme against him, he would settle the score with him once he returned from Demon Heart Island!

After some trouble, the man and Zhao Xi finally boarded the boat and headed for Demon Heart Island. Qian Jiyun and the others soon arrived at the docks.

They took even less time than Zhao Xi and the man.

The boat owners did not say much to the people from Jun Lin Hall. Although they recoiled in fear, no one dared to offend the Demon Heart.

Several boat owners were willing to rent out their boats.

In the end, Qian Jiyun went with a boat owner who seemed more honest. He operated the boat personally and chased after Zhao Xi’s boat.

“Brother, is Sister-in-Law still reading?”

An Jiuyue was still reading in the cabin. Even she wondered if she had read so many books that she could eat them for meals, let alone Qian Jiyun..
