Nan Chaoyu's voice drifted over to the big ship along with the night.
"An old acquaintance?" On the deck of the pirate ship, the black - clothed man surrounded by a group of people slowly opened his eyes, curled the corner of his mouth, and let out a low laugh.
"I didn't know there was anyone who dared to claim to be an old acquaintance of mine!"
A man in dark red clothes standing behind the black - clothed man stepped forward nervously, sweating profusely. "Your Majesty, the person coming seems to be the leader of the Four Dark Night Divisions and the Holy Light Grand Princess who made quite a stir in Dream Sea City - Nan Chaoyu.
"She had business dealings with me. Maybe she recognized my ship!"
"Is it her?" A glint of interest flashed in the black - clothed man's eyes. "I haven't even gone to look for her, yet she comes to me on her own. Go and take a look!"
After Nan Chaoyu shouted, there was no response from the pirate ship. She frowned and murmured, "I can't be wrong. This is Hai Shisan's ship. Could it be that the owner has changed?"
"Your Highness the Princess sure has old acquaintances all over the continent. I'm really opening my eyes!"
Someone on the side suddenly said something sour.
Nan Chaoyu felt a bit embarrassed and scratched her nose. She moved closer to Mu Qihan and said, "I traveled all over the continent in the past two years and often went back and forth on the Soul - Devouring Sea. It was inevitable that I'd deal with pirates."
She then pointed at the big ship. "This ship belongs to Hai Shisan, one of the four major pirates under the pirate leader River - Turning Dragon. I once had business dealings with Hai Shisan. Although he's a pirate, he's not a blood - thirsty man."
Mu Qihan's expression tightened slightly. He was sure that this Hai Shisan was after him.
He just couldn't figure out what on him could be coveted by the pirate leader.
Seeing that Mu Qihan didn't say a word, Nan Chaoyu wasn't sure if he was angry. So she softened her voice and moved closer to him.
"What I just said about old acquaintances was just to get Hai Shisan to come out and talk. That business deal back then also made him a lot of money. He won't make things difficult for us for the sake of the money."
After a pause, she added, "And you're the only real old acquaintance I have!"
When the black - clothed man walked to the side of the ship, this was the scene he saw.
The charming - faced girl was tilting her head slightly, looking at the person beside her with a hint of flattery in her eyes. The black - clothed man looked cold, but where the girl couldn't see, the corner of his mouth was slightly curled.
There was an indescribable tenderness in his eyes.
The attendants behind them all seemed used to this sight. They lowered their heads slightly and didn't look at the interaction between the two.
It looked like a peaceful scene, but it seemed rather harsh to the black - clothed man.
This kind of beauty made one want to tear it apart.
Nan Chaoyu was about to try even harder to gain some favor when she suddenly felt a very aggressive gaze on her.
She turned her head towards the pirate ship and just happened to meet the black - clothed man's gaze.
The smile on her face slowly faded, and her expression became solemn.
She didn't recognize this man!
Perhaps sensing the change in the person in front of him, Mu Qihan reached out and held her hand.
Nan Chaoyu didn't have time to be happy. Her gaze fell on a person behind the black - clothed man, and a bad premonition immediately came to her mind.
If she wasn't mistaken, the red - clothed man standing behind the black - clothed man was Hai Shisan.
And the person who could make Hai Shisan take a subordinate position on his own ship, his identity was obvious!
"Mu Qihan, it seems we've really run into a tough opponent this time!"
At this time, the black - clothed man turned to say something to Hai Shisan.
Then Hai Shisan stepped forward and shouted to Nan Chaoyu, "Your Highness the Princess, our King invites you to come aboard the ship for a chat!"
"It's really the River - Turning Dragon."
Mu Qihan suddenly let go of her hand and shielded her behind him. He seriously instructed, "They're after me. You take your people and leave quickly on the small boat!"
Nan Chaoyu widened her eyes. "Mu Qihan, you're trying to drive me away again!"
"This isn't the time to be stubborn. If you're afraid I'll leave, then go to Wuxiang City and wait for me. I'll definitely come to find you."
"Do you think I can leave now?"
At this time, Nan Chaoyu's tone calmed down. She poked her head out from behind Mu Qihan and shouted at the top of her voice, "Hai Shisan, are you trying to stop me?"
"Haha, Your Highness the Princess, don't misunderstand. Our King just has a business deal he wants to discuss with you."
"Discuss business? Hai Shisan, don't try to fool me."
"How dare I fool you?"
Hai Shisan stood upright by the ship, waiting for them to board. Behind him, the black - clothed River - Turning Dragon was eyeing them menacingly.
Nan Chaoyu squinted her eyes and murmured, "It seems we can't escape!"
"Girl, be careful. I sense danger!"
Long Yi, who hadn't popped up for a long time, suddenly said something. "I sense a very powerful soul ability. Take care of yourself. I'll hide first!"
With that, he果断 cut off the connection with Nan Chaoyu and seemed to disappear completely!
Nan Chaoyu looked down at the mark on her hand and seriously sized up the man who was said to make the four seas bow their heads and unite the pirates of the Soul - Devouring Sea.
Now that even Long Yi was so afraid of him, it seemed she had to re - evaluate his strength.
But Nan Chaoyu didn't keep them waiting long. She, along with Mu Qihan, Xiao Tian, and Ye Yun, boarded the big ship.
"Your Highness the Princess has great courage!"
Hai Shisan greeted Nan Chaoyu on the spot. When she came up, he bowed exaggeratedly.
Nan Chaoyu looked at him with a half - smile. "Hai Shisan, have you ever heard a saying?"
"What saying?"
"One who offers excessive courtesy for no reason is up to no good!"
"Cough, cough. Your Highness the Princess is joking." Hai Shisan almost choked on his own saliva.
He was sure that his King didn't invite this lady on board for this reason.
After joking for a while, Hai Shisan led them into the cabin.
During this process, no one checked their weapons, and no one stopped Xiao Tian and Ye Yun.
This gave Nan Chaoyu a new understanding of the River - Turning Dragon.
This man was very confident, even a bit arrogant.
In the cabin, the River - Turning Dragon only had one attendant and Hai Shisan with him.
When he saw Nan Chaoyu come in, his eyes swept over her, and he curled the corner of his mouth. "The leader of the Dark Night, the Holy Light Princess, Miss Nan. I've long heard of your great name!"
"Thirteen, get some seats!"
Hai Shisan quickly moved two chairs behind Nan Chaoyu and Mu Qihan and then quickly stepped back.
"..." Hearing this from the famous pirate leader, it somehow felt like he had bad intentions!
Nan Chaoyu coughed lightly and looked at the River - Turning Dragon. "Mr. Jiang, this line should be said by me."
"I've long heard of your great name!"
Nan Chaoyu pulled Mu Qihan to sit down and faced the River - Turning Dragon's gaze without flinching. "I visited Mr. Jiang's base camp a few days ago but didn't see you. It was really a pity. I didn't expect to meet you in such a situation. It's quite a surprise."
