Divine King of Honour-Chapter 620: Initial Conflict

At last, Xu Nian boarded the ship together with Shadow.

Soon after, two young-looking men arrived.

Both of these young men appeared to be around twenty-three or twenty-four years old.

Their cultivation was not too high, both being at the Battle Sect Level.

These two young men were clearly wealthy scions, wanting to travel to Penglai to seek mentorship.

So, as soon as they boarded the ship, their gazes landed on the five Penglai people.

The two exchanged glances, sparks of ambition flashing in their eyes.

They hurried toward the unoccupied area.

As for Xu Nian, he was directly ignored by them.

"I am Zhang Peng, and I am Li Tao. Greetings Upper Immortal and fellow senior brothers and sisters," the two men said as they knelt in front of the five people from Penglai.

However, the elder did not even glance at them.

He stroked his beard, smiling slightly, and turned his head toward the sea.

The two young men and the woman also chose to ignore them.

It was the Fifth-star Battle Saint who disdainfully said, "Who are your senior brothers and sisters? Get out of the way. If you want to join us in Penglai, you'll have to pass the test first."

"Yes, yes!"

Chastened, the two young men did not dare to utter any complaints.

They quickly retreated to one side and ceased speaking.

Seeing this scene, Xu Nian could not help but shake his head helplessly.

The people from Penglai were even more arrogant than he had imagined.

"Upper Immortal?"

The elder actually accepted such a title willingly?

With just the term "immortal," there was so much weight.

"Master seems to have no interest in the Upper Immortal from Penglai, do you not intend to go forward and pay your respects?" Shadow noticed that Xu Nian remained indifferent, standing here, which was rather odd.

Normally, those who wish to join Penglai would seize the opportunity to meet strong individuals from Penglai.

If they could truly win the favor of an Upper Immortal from Penglai and be accepted as a disciple,

that would be an enormously fortunate event.

But from earlier till now, there wasn't a trace of respect in Xu Nian's eyes when he looked at these strong individuals from Penglai.

This puzzled Shadow.

"What good is there in paying respects? Do you think they would care about me or develop a fondness if I were to fawn over them?" Xu Nian asked with a laugh.

He was speaking the truth.

Since these Penglai people inherently looked down on them, no amount of groveling would help.

It would only make them look down on him even more.

Besides, Xu Nian was here to seek medicine, not to truly become a disciple.

He naturally would not try to ingratiate himself with them.

"It seems so," Shadow felt that Xu Nian's words made sense.

Yet, it also felt unreasonable.

If they didn't even make an effort to greet them, wouldn't it make the powerful individuals from Penglai dislike him even more?

"Whoosh!"

As Shadow was still puzzled,

two figures flew from afar.

They landed steadily on the deck.

One of them was none other than the manager elder from the East Sea Commerce.

The other was a man built like an Iron Tower.

This man wore black iron armor, his skin was dark, and his bones seemed as though forged from iron.

He exuded an immensely powerful aura.

Indeed, his cultivation was not low; it had already reached the Nine-star Body Saint Peak.

"This is Captain An Long, also my great-uncle," Shadow whispered to Xu Nian.

Captain An Long and the elder appeared and walked up to the five Penglai experts, bowing and saying, "Greetings to the seniors!"

The elder merely grunted in response and paid no further attention.

Captain An Long and the elder did not show the slightest anger, but instead felt it was natural.

However, Captain An Long stepped towards Xu Nian.

More precisely, he was moving toward Shadow, who stood beside Xu Nian.

"What's the meaning of this ruckus? What are you doing here? Get off immediately," An Long barked at Shadow.

"Uncle, since I am the daughter of the chairman of the East Sea Commerce, soon to take over the helm, I should familiarize myself with every department. I have already acquainted myself with the other departments, and the only one left is this Black Dragon Ship, so I wanted to try," Shadow explained.

"No, absolutely not this time," An Long responded sternly.

Hearing An Long's words, Xu Nian immediately understood An Long's intention.

It was clear that Captain An Long knew the nature of the Fifth-star Battle Saint and that was why he was insisting Shadow get off the ship.

"Shadow, perhaps you should…" Xu Nian urgently tried to persuade.

However, he was interrupted before he could finish.

"Captain An Long, since the lady wishes to stay, let her stay. I happen to need a maid; why not let her serve me?" said a man with a Fifth-star Battle Saint's strength, walking towards them with a smile on his face.

"But…" Captain An Long frowned immediately.

Shadow's expression also changed.

Even she could see that the Fifth-star Battle Saint had ulterior motives.

If she really became the maid of this Fifth-star Battle Saint, her prospects were likely grim.

"I'm sorry, but this lady is my servant. Captain, you must have more than one maid on board, right? Captain An Long has already arranged it, isn't that right, Captain?" Xu Nian retorted with a smile, stepping forward to naturally shield Shadow.

"Yes, yes, yes, Young Master Mo. We indeed have maids specially assigned to each passenger. I will call her for you shortly," Captain An Long hurriedly responded with a smile.

Even though he was at the Peak of the Body Saint, he still had to be extremely polite to this Fifth-star Battle Saint youth.

Because offending him would be tantamount to offending the entirety of Penglai.

And the East Sea Commerce could hardly compare to Penglai.

"Hmph, who does he think he is? I want his maid to be my maid today," the youth known as Young Master Mo said dissatisfiedly.

Both An Long and Shadow's eyebrows furrowed even more deeply.

Xu Nian's eyes also hardened.

Unexpectedly, a conflict had arisen even before the ship had set sail.

The descendants of Penglai were indeed proud to this extent.

"Mo Tian, stop this nonsense. Have you forgotten our sect rules?" At that moment, a cold voice sounded.

The speaker was the beautiful woman among the five.

She was very attractive, with a perfect figure.

Even in a loose white robe, her graceful figure was undeniable.

She exuded a misty, almost celestial quality.

Undoubtedly, she was a rare beauty.

This was evident from the admiring look in the eyes of the two young men behind her.

Hearing the woman speak, the youth known as Mo Tian restrained himself.

He glared fiercely at Xu Nian before leaving with a sweep of his sleeves.

Seeing this, An Long and Shadow both sighed in relief.

However, their gaze towards Xu Nian was now filled with sympathy and guilt.

Clearly, they felt that Xu Nian, having offended a person from Penglai, was bound for a dreadful fate.

Thus, they felt guilty towards Xu Nian.

For his part, Xu Nian was indifferent.

Had that Mo Tian truly dared to make a move,

Xu Nian would not have hesitated to slay him.

Yet, Xu Nian was somewhat surprised.

The woman had suddenly spoken up.

Could it be that she was trying to help them out?

However, when Xu Nian looked towards the woman, he found that she hadn't even glanced at him.

Xu Nian gave a bitter smile, realizing he had overthought the situation.

This woman was not trying to help them at all.

She was merely stopping Mo Tian from acting impulsively.
