You Learned Arithmetic from Ma Liang, Didn't You?

The Canglang River originates in the north of the Blazing Sun Continent, flows through more than a dozen countries, and finally empties into the sea.

The Canglang River is also one of the dividing lines between the Great Liang Kingdom and the Great Chang Kingdom. In the past, the Canglang River was one of the main routes for countless merchants to transport goods.

Due to years of war between the Great Liang Kingdom and the Great Chang Kingdom, many of the wharves on the Canglang River Withering, and most merchants from both countries have stopped transporting goods...

There was nothing that could be done about it; the navies of the two countries would fight every few days on the Canglang River.

However, the naval battle between the two countries was not the main reason affecting merchants transporting goods; the main reason was that both countries' navies were utterly ruthless...

Previously, the navy of the Great Liang Kingdom would impersonate the navy of the Great Chang Kingdom to rob on the Canglang River... and later the navy of the Great Chang Kingdom also impersonated the navy of the Great Liang Kingdom to rob.

Even the navy is engaging in robbery; one can imagine how much more arrogant the river bandits on the Canglang River have become without the navy's suppression.

Therefore, on the Canglang River today, apart from the top-tier merchant ships that still transport goods normally, the other smaller merchant ships have basically stopped. Even if they do transport goods, they do so secretly using small boats, and they dare not travel in groups like they used to.

What the heck? Do you think the navies of both countries will attack those major merchant guilds?

What? Are the two countries no longer on each other's side?

Those large merchant guilds, like the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce... the Martial Emperor Chamber of Commerce... the Demon Demon Water Transport... are these similar water transport companies... have both countries gone mad?

At this moment, on a merchant ship on the Canglang River that did not display any merchant guild flags, Chu Xinghe and his two companions had already boarded the ship!

The three of them were to travel north on this small boat called the Great River Merchant Association, heading towards the capital of the Great Liang Kingdom.

The reason the three chose the small merchant guild's boat was out of necessity...

First of all, the merchant ships of the top-tier chambers of commerce don't carry passengers at all... after all, the merchant ships of the major chambers of commerce don't care about the meager income from carrying passengers.

Demon Demon Water Transport carry passengers, but while its prices are only slightly higher elsewhere, given the current situation on the Canglang River, Demon Demon Water Transport Demon Demon Water Transport only carries passengers, it also overcharges them!

That price is ridiculously high... Yue Ling used to be rich, but now Yue Ling's really broke... and can't even afford the spirit stones to ride the Demon Demon Water Transport Ship!

While on the shore, Yue Ling also considered whether she should grit her teeth and take the Demon Demon Water Transport boat!

In response, Chu Xinghe said, "Big sister... if you're going to grit your teeth, fine, but why are you looking at me like that? I only have five spirit stones..."

You don't want to go back, do you?

Why does your "gritting your teeth" sound like you want me Chu Xinghe, to grit my teeth?

I only have five spirit stones... This Demon Demon Water Transport ship charges thirty spirit stones per person, even if I take them all out, it won't be enough!

In response, Yue Ling said, "How could you Chu Xinghe, do this...?"

Don't you understand the meaning of "helping in an emergency"? Although I only gave you five spirit stones, didn't you have any savings of your own?

You give me ninety spirit stones, we'll take a boat first, and when we get there I'll return eighty-seven spirit stones to you, that's all... It's no big deal!

Hearing Yue Ling's words, Chu Xinghe was so angry he almost peed his pants... Let's not even talk about whether Chu Xinghe has any savings or not...

Let's say you borrowed ninety, why did you return eighty-seven when you got there?

Did you learn your math from Ma Liang?

So... you still think hiring me for five spirit stones is too expensive, is that it?

I, Chu Xinghe! I was hired by you for five spirit stones, and I've been with you through thick and thin... and now you want three back!

And you're not even asking for three pieces back, you're even trying to get me to hand over these ninety spirit stones first...

I'm just saying, isn't this a bit too outrageous?

Ma Liang took 295 spirit stones from you... Wouldn't it be easy to get him to hand over 90 now?

What's the meaning of you looking at me like that?

In the end, Yue Ling still didn't ask Ma Liang to pay her...

In the end, Yue Ling pawned a jade pendant she had on her person, exchanged it for some spirit stones, and chose to board the small merchant guild's ship.

There's no way around it... the ships from Demon Demon Water Transport are just too expensive...

And it's not just about the price; Yue Ling said the main issue is with Demon Demon Express. Yue Ling 'd always heard people talk about how safe this and that are...

It now seems that the rumors were completely unreliable...

Look at the whole way here, Demon Demon Express has been completely wiped out by various ambushes...

The mortality rate at Demon Demon Express is just too high!

So if the mortality rate at Demon Demon Express is this high, then Demon Demon Water Transport must be just as safe, right?

So instead of going on an adventure with Demon Demon Water Transport, why don't we find a small merchant ship? Sometimes, an inconspicuous little merchant ship is actually safer, isn't it!

Chu Xinghe remained silent in response to Yue Ling's statement... Chu Xinghe thought to himself, "Don't you know why this Demon Demon Express is dangerous?"

The three successfully boarded the merchant ship of the Great River Merchant Association, but ever since boarding, Yue Ling seemed preoccupied. Even when Ma Liang asked her a few questions, Yue Ling didn't answer... We have no idea what Yue Ling was thinking!

Shortly after the three left by boat, a group of people appeared near the dock where they had boarded the boat!

"Have you seen a woman with a guy who looks a lot like a donkey... Ma Liang, and a guy who doesn't look like Chu Xinghe at all?"

"Reporting to you, sir... I saw them... It seems they set sail on a ship belonging to the Great River Merchant Association!"

"Great River Merchant Association? You're not seeing things!"

"Absolutely right..."

After making several inquiries, the team confirmed the whereabouts of the Yue Ling trio.

There's no way around it... this trio is just too eye-catching... it's hard not to notice them.

Meanwhile, as the group of scouts returned to the Canglang River, they saw a young man with a full head of white hair standing on the bow of the main ship atop three warships flying the Great Chang Kingdom.

Don't get me wrong, this person isn't one of the Burning Life trio!

His name was Li Weihong, and he was known as the Little White Dragon in the Waves... He was a general in the navy of the Great Chang Kingdom!

Not long ago, Li Weihong received orders from his superiors to ambush and kill three people on the Canglang River at all costs!

Upon receiving this news, Li Weihong initially intended to send one of his squads to carry out the operation.

But soon, his father, who was the commander-in-chief, personally found Li Weihong!

"Hong'er, lead your White Dragon Navy and take action personally!"

"Father? He killed three people in the Canglang River, and I still need to personally intervene?" Li Weihong was dumbfounded...

The White Dragon Navy under his command was the most elite force in the entire Great Chang Kingdom's navy, each of them capable of taking on ten opponents. Li Weihong had yet to encounter an adversary on the Canglang River.

Even when facing an opponent from the opposing Great Liang Kingdom who outnumbered him tenfold, Li Weihong was able to make them flee in terror.

To mobilize the entire White Dragon Navy just to ambush and kill three people? Isn't that a bit of an overreaction?

But soon, Li Weihong saw his father say solemnly, "The order comes from the highest-ranking official! This is a matter of utmost importance, and there can be absolutely no mishaps! You should know that official's temper. If anything goes wrong, not only you, but even I, your father, will surely die. So don't be careless!"

Li Weihong's face also turned serious after hearing this...

Li Weihong's White Dragon Navy was no joke; on the Canglang River, there was no one the White Dragon Navy n't find, and no place they dared not go.

Even within the territory of the Great Liang Kingdom, the White Dragon Navy could come and go as it pleased.

Li Weihong quickly obtained information about his target.

Upon hearing the report from his subordinates, Li Weihong was somewhat at a loss for words!

I thought it was some peerless master I needed to ambush and kill... but it turns out to be just a Third Rank girl, accompanied by an impersonator of Chu Xinghe and an impersonator of Ma Liang?

What the hell is this nonsense? I, Li Weihong, the commander of the White Dragon Navy of the Great Chang Kingdom, a top ten prodigy in the Great Chang Kingdom, who twice participated in the Vast Heaven Holy Land examination and even passed the second round before being eliminated in the third, am actually going to ambush and kill these three bastards?

What the hell? You're saying I, Li Weihong, have something to be proud of about being eliminated twice in a row?

My friend! That's the Vast Heaven Holy Land's assessment!

I passed the first round of auditions, and even the second round of assessments... before being eliminated. Isn't that good enough?

Do you know how many powerful sects even want to recruit me Li Weihong, as their disciple?

I, Li Weihong, am absolutely a genius among geniuses. The fact Li Weihong the Vast Heaven Holy Land did not recruit me is not Li Weihong fault, but rather because the Vast Heaven Holy Land is blind! They are simply not worthy of letting me Li Weihong, enter the Vast Heaven Holy Land!

Originally, Li Weihong planned to join another major sect, but just as Li Weihong was about to choose a sect, he encountered that great man, who gave Li Weihong a blood-red pill!

After taking that pill, Li Weihong's cultivation level instantly advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching a level he never dared to imagine before!

However, while the elixir enhanced Li Weihong's abilities, it also caused his Li Weihong to turn white overnight... Li Weihong knew that this was because the elixir had depleted almost half of his life force.

But Li Weihong didn't care. A real man born in chaotic times should enjoy the present. As for when he might suddenly die, Li Weihong said that those things were not even within his consideration.

With his own cultivation and some other pills given by that master, Li Weihong also cultivated this invincible White Dragon Navy in a short period of time. They were unmatched in the Canglang River, and the so-called elite navy of the Great Chang Kingdom was nothing but a formality in front of them!

Li Weihong also earned the nickname "Little White Dragon in the Waves" in a short period of time!

Although Li Weihong, the Little White Dragon in the Waves, was speechless at this strange order, Li Weihong knew that the person in question was not to be disobeyed. Therefore, Li Weihong immediately dispatched all his subordinates to quickly ascertain the other party's movements.

After all, with someone who looks a lot like Ma Liang and someone who looks completely different like Chu Xinghe by his side, it would be hard for such an odd combination not to be noticed.

Now it has been confirmed that the other party is on the merchant ship of the Great River Merchant Association.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Weihong, the Little White Dragon in the Waves, immediately issued the order.

"Full speed ahead! Catch up with the Great River Merchant Association's merchant ships... Kill everyone on board without mercy! Women and children alike, leave no survivors!"

"Yes!"

After receiving their orders, the warships set sail, heading north in pursuit of the merchant ships of the Great River Merchant Association!

Shortly after the warships set sail, three people with flowing silver-white hair arrived at the Canglang River!

Black Sha quickly pinpointed the target's location using the Tracking Spirit Orb. With the target's location confirmed...

A flash of blue light appeared in the master's hand, and the Blue-Patterned Jiao flew out of the water vapor and plunged into the Canglang River.

As the Blue-Patterned Jiao entered the water, it was like a dragon entering the sea... Its body grew wildly in the water, and in an instant, it transformed into a giant Blue-Patterned Jiao that was tens of feet long!

The three of them jumped onto the back of the Blue-Patterned Jiao! Then, their master gave the Blue-Patterned Jiao an order!

The Blue-Patterned Jiao charged forward at full speed, pursuing its target!

With the Blue-Patterned Jiao joining the fray, there's no way we can lose!
