"Qingfeng, what do you think of the South China Sea?"

Wu Hongsheng spent a few days traveling in the South China Sea and felt extremely refreshed. He had lived a long life and had been to many places, including the capital, but no place could give him the same feeling as the South China Sea.

"Sect Leader, I like the South China Sea."

Qingfeng, Wu Hongsheng's dwarf henchman, was speaking with a smile on his face.

"That's really rare. You've never given me such high praise before."

Qingfeng was found by Wu Hongsheng when he was traveling in his early years. Because of his birth deformity, Qingfeng was abandoned at a young age and did not know who his parents were. He lived a life of begging in a daze. However, because of his dwarfism, he was often discriminated against and bullied by others, which made him taste the dark side of the world at a young age.

It wasn't until he met Wu Hongsheng, who was traveling abroad, that he was able to escape his misery and live like a normal person.

However, the misfortunes of his early years made Qingfeng dislike speaking and acting, and he was unwilling to contact the outside world. This was the first time Wu Hongsheng had heard Qingfeng make such a comment about a place.

"Those two people over there are acting strangely."

Qingfeng suddenly said something that didn't make sense.

Wu Hongsheng followed Qingfeng's gaze and saw two foreigners, but they looked like ordinary tourists and there was nothing unusual about them.

However, Wu Hongsheng knew that Qingfeng had a magical sixth sense since childhood, which allowed him to see the evil in people's hearts. Wu Hongsheng had cultivated for most of his life but still couldn't explain this phenomenon.

Wu Hongsheng quietly followed behind the two, and because he was an old man and a young boy, he did not attract the attention of George and Robert.

. . . . . .

"Robert, we've been playing for days, isn't it time to get down to business?"

George swore these past few days had been the most comfortable days of his life, but so what? He was out here on the orders of the commander, and after completing the mission, he would still have to return to that cold seaside fortress.

"George has to say, you're going to be a spoilsport. Couldn't we talk about this tomorrow?"

Robert, like George, had been very happy these past few days, able to play freely without any burden or pressure. However, George's words quickly brought him back to reality; they had come with a mission.

"Killing Zhou Wu is a piece of cake."

"Shut up, how many times have I told you not to talk about this outside?"

Wu Hongsheng, who was behind them, heard their conversation clearly. They thought no one could understand English, but Wu Hongsheng could.

City Lord's Mansion.

Zhou Wu was about to have dinner when someone forced him to eat with them.

"Haha, the food for you officials is really good."

Wu Hongsheng, accompanied by Qingfeng, happened to arrive just as Zhou Wu was having dinner. Without being invited by the host, Qingfeng plopped down on the table, and Zhou Wu didn't dare to say anything, after all, the other party had the upper hand.

“I earned all this money myself; there was no corruption involved.”

Fearing the other party would use this as an excuse to punish him, Zhou Wu quickly explained.

"By the way, I'll stay at your place tonight."

"What! Are you kidding me? Didn't we already arrange a house for you?"

Zhou Wu absolutely refused to live with the old man. Although the old man had made it clear that he wasn't there for revenge, who knew if he might suddenly decide to do so?

"You have the nerve to say that? My house is full of mosquitoes, and they keep me up at night."

Wu Hongsheng looked disgusted.

Zhou Wu, of course, could not refuse, and could only instruct his servants to prepare two rooms.

. . . . . . .

Wu Hongsheng and Qingfeng had very regular schedules. After dinner, they went to their room to rest, which suited Zhou Wu's wishes and avoided any awkwardness.

"Sect Leader, why do you want to help Zhou Wu?"

Inside the room, Qingfeng looked puzzled. Just as Wu Hongsheng knew him very well, he also knew Wu Hongsheng very well.

Over the years, Wu Hongsheng has never liked to meddle in other people's business.

Take the incident where the three old women were killed by Zhou Wu, for example. Although Wu Hongsheng put it simply, they were at most people who cultivated together on the same mountain.

Outsiders may not know, but Qingfeng is not an outsider. The Tantric sect on the island does not have many rules, but Wu Hongsheng is still the sect leader. When he first came, Qingfeng knew very well that Wu Hongsheng came to kill Zhou Wu, but for some reason, after finding Zhou Wu, Wu Hongsheng changed his mind.

"I just feel that Zhou Wu seems to be a bit special."

In fact, Wu Hongsheng couldn't explain why he changed his mind after seeing Zhou Wu.

Perhaps it was because they heard people on the ship talking about all the good things about Zhou Wu along the way.

It's also possible that after arriving in the South China Sea, they saw that the South China Sea had undergone tremendous changes compared to a few years ago.

Wu Hongsheng embarked on the path of cultivation because his family was oppressed by the government and could no longer survive, so he became a monk in a Taoist temple. Later, the imperial court was replaced by the current Dalong, and Wu Hongsheng fled from the Taoist temple to an isolated island overseas.

Although decades have passed, in his heart, there has never been a good official. So when he first heard people talking about Zhou Wu's great achievements on the ship, he was just disdainful. But later, when he landed on Nanhai Island, he discovered the Nanhai City that had sprung up and the prosperous Nanhai Island.

He visited the South China Sea islands many years ago, when they were desolate and sparsely populated.

Zhou Wu transformed a deserted island into this state in just a few short years; Wu Hongsheng wouldn't believe he wasn't incredibly capable.

That's why he suddenly changed his mind after meeting Zhou Wu.

Over the next few days, he and Qingfeng wandered around the streets of Nanhai, sightseeing everywhere. But what they saw and heard undoubtedly proved that Zhou Wu was a good official.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Zhou Wu tried to sneak away before the old man got up, but to his surprise, the old man and Qingfeng were already waiting in the yard.

"Why are you taking so long? I've been waiting for you for ages."

The old man's words brought Zhou Wu back to reality.

"What are you waiting for me for?"

"Weren't you going out for breakfast? Come along."

"Actually, I'm not that hungry."

Wu Hongsheng completely ignored him and led the way.

"This place is pretty good."

After having breakfast at a random breakfast stall, Zhou Wu boarded a carriage to go out of the city for a patrol.

"You're coming with me on my business trip?"

"Since I've got nothing to do lately, I'll go see what you officials are thanking people for every day."

Zhou Wu felt that the old man had been acting very strangely these past two days, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

I originally wanted to bribe Qingfeng with candy, but I felt a little uncomfortable because of Qingfeng's disdainful look.

The carriage slowly left the city. Zhou Wu had only intended to make an excuse, but now that the old man had followed, he had no choice but to make the charade real and have the carriage go for a drive to the orchards in the suburbs.

However, the carriage stopped shortly after leaving Nanhai City.

"what happened?"
