"Where do you want him to study under his master?"

"I negotiated with Grandma Ping five years ago and wanted Mandrill to accept him as his apprentice."

Ouyang controlled the wheelchair and turned to look at Shen He, and continued to ask: "Do you have any ideas?"

"Your family already has a legacy, so why do you want him to become a disciple of someone else's?"

"The inheritance of your family is too particular about fate. Those things are still too early for him now. Besides, it's not a bad thing to learn more skills."

Ouyang told the truth, but he didn't tell the whole story.

It is true that the inheritance of your family is difficult to learn. Ouyang was able to memorize the complicated formations only with the help of the system. For Gui Chuanyu, he is still too young to learn these at all.

The unsaid part is to pave the way for Gui Chuanyu in the future. To put it simply, it is to win over more allies. It is not that he wants to plot against Mandrill, but that the child will gain a foothold in Liyue in the future, so it is right to make more friends with the immortals.

It's a casual move.

There's no harm in doing it anyway, so why not?

Thinking of this, Ouyang asked: "How about you teach that child some skills?"

"What I have learned is all from immortal spells, and some of the alchemist spells passed down from my family are not suitable for his current age."

Ouyang didn't care about being rejected and nodded: "Let's go and eat."

As night falls, leaving aside those who are busy with all kinds of news, the day just passes.

Early the next morning.

Sorensen, who arrived at Guyun Pavilion in advance, waited anxiously on this simple wharf, which was clearly built in a hurry.

He has not been doing well these past two days, and it is because he is not doing well mentally.

Anyone who risks everything to do business in Liyue Port will never be able to remain calm after encountering so many troubles.

Maybe someone can do it, but Sorenson doesn't think such a person really exists.

The note given to him by the General Affairs Department has been kept closely by him, but such a flimsy piece of paper has no real sense, and he has never been at ease in his heart.

He has a sense of trust in Liyue Qixing, but after all, it is related to his own interests. Before everything is implemented, his heart has been hanging in the air and unable to calm down.

This can't be blamed on him being cowardly, risking everything to do business in Liyue, but he encountered various twists and turns during the process, and his little heart was almost unable to support it.

Coupled with various rumors that have not stopped, Sorensen left Liyue Port yesterday and came to wait near Guyun Pavilion.

I wanted to stay out of sight and out of mind, but when I arrived at the address marked on the map yesterday, all I saw was a simple dock, which didn't look like it could function as a transfer station at all.

Although the staff here had a good temper, they didn't understand his questions.

All these things made him even more anxious in the end.

He really couldn't afford to lose this time.

After finally surviving the night on the boat, he came down and waited at dawn.

"This... sir? When can the goods I need be loaded on the ship?"

"Oh, you're welcome. I'm not an adult, I'm just the first mate of the Southern Cross Fleet. You can call me Chongzuo. As for the cargo, didn't your note say it would be loaded at eight o'clock? It's still early."

It's getting late, it's already 7:50!

Sorenson wanted to yell at the other party, but finally held back.

"There are a lot of people waiting here. Will it be too late for shipment at eight o'clock?"

"Don't worry, look, the cargo ship is coming."

Following the direction indicated by Chongzuo, Sorensen saw a huge fleet coming from the direction of Liyue Port.

It can be judged from the flag that it is the Southern Cross Fleet.

Great, we can finally start loading.

Sorensen, who was joyful in his heart, was about to say something when he heard Chongzuo next to him say: "Boss Sorensen, please get on the ship. We are about to start loading."

"Huh? Aren't you guys unloading here? I'll just wait here."

Sorensen looked at Chongzuo with some confusion. He didn't understand that although the Southern Cross fleet was here, didn't it still have to unload the cargo and then load the ore onto his own cargo ship?

Why is this man chasing me on board now?

But Chongzuo didn't explain much and continued to urge: "You will understand when you get on the ship. There are other foreign businessmen here. Now you are the first in line. Don't waste this opportunity."

"Oh fine."

After glancing at Chongzuo and then at the approaching Southern Cross fleet, Sorensen returned to his ship in confusion.

On the other side, on the Death Star.

Facing the wind, Beidou stood on the bow of the ship, looking at Guyun Pavilion getting closer and closer, and said to Xue Lian beside him: "Xue Lian, we have to wait a while before we go to sea this time. I promised Ningguang that we will go to sea in the future."

Stay here for two weeks."

"It's okay. Ouyang also told me before I came here, let me watch you and don't let you drink in the past two weeks."

"Why is he like this? I only agreed to Ningguang because of his face, but he actually did this kind of thing of repaying kindness with hatred. Xue Lian, you won't listen to him, right?"

Looking at Beidou with an angry look on his face, Xue Lian didn't take it seriously. She understood that the eldest sister and her master had a very good relationship, and everything in front of her was just a show for her.

She smiled and shook her head, her tone gentle but also firm in reply: "Of course I obey the master's orders, so, eldest sister, I have put away this wine."

"ha?!"

Beidou, who was still thinking about what to say, heard that Xue Lian actually "took the fire under the cauldron" and looked at Xue Lian in shock as if he was petrified.

"When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"

"Just yesterday, I got up in the evening and ordered people to put away all the wine."

"Good on you..."

Before he finished speaking, his fingers were waving in the air.

Beidou looked at Xue Lian who was unmoved, thought for a while, and decided to try changing his routine.

"Good sister, we have been sisters for so many years, don't you know how much I drink? It's okay to drink a little."

"My master said that this matter is related to the livelihood of Liyue Port, and it depends on our results. I heard what he said seriously, which means that the matter is really not a big deal, so, eldest sister, let us have this wine

How about you stop drinking recently?"

"Hey, isn't it just a matter of catching a few fish? What else can I not do? Let's discuss it and give me ten jars of wine every day, otherwise I will be passive and slow down my work!"

"Okay, but just one jar!"

"One altar? No, no, at least... at least nine altars!"

"There is only one jar."

Faced with Beidou's bargaining, Xue Lian refused to give in.

This is hard for Beidou. Without wine, half of the fun in life would be missing for her.

"Xue Lian, what's wrong with you? According to our tradition in Liyue, don't we ask for a high price and pay back the money on the spot? If you don't give in, we won't be able to negotiate this business."

"Sister, I have felt the difficulty of the master of the house at home these days. It is rare that he has arranged some things for me this time, so I will definitely do it well."

First she explained to Beidou, and then the expression on Xue Lian's face softened. She looked at Beidou and said seductively like coaxing a child.

"Sister, although I don't know what you and the head of the family are going to do, I know that if you finish it earlier, you can drink wine earlier!"

"Hmph, okay, okay, I'm afraid of you."

Beidou no longer worries about these things. She knows that Xue Lian did this because she wanted to help her family. The two have been friends for so many years and they will not make trouble on this matter.

There was no going back without making trouble, but the negotiated terms could not be wasted. She asked Xue Lian for today's jar of wine.

"Bring it here, my share today!"

"Sister, are you really not willing to wait for a moment? We are about to load the goods for them."

"What a big deal."

After muttering, Beidou shouted to his crew: "Attention, everyone! Follow the previous instructions, lower the anchor, and deliver goods to those gentlemen!"

"Okay, big sister!"

The sailors responded one after another.

On the other side, Sorensen, who was waiting on the ship, saw a huge ship docked beside his cargo ship. The shadow cast by the huge hull of the Death Omen completely enveloped his ship.

Gudu——

A huge sense of oppression came over, and Sorensen swallowed, feeling a little frightened.

I had always heard that the Southern Cross Fleet was very powerful, but I didn’t expect that all the ships in the fleet were such giant ships!

It is conceivable that the legendary Captain Beidou must also be a great man.

Before he could recover, he saw a rope lowered from the Death Omen, and a figure stepped onto the deck of Sorensen's cargo ship along the rope.

Xu Xiaoliu looked around and asked with some uncertainty: "Who is the captain?"

"I, I am! My name is Sorenson, and I am the captain here."
