"How could this be?!"
Elder Kui of the Sea Charm Tribe cried out in shock.
Going by the day the clan leader had set off for Sea God Island, she could only have arrived yesterday at the earliest, yet today someone was already telling her this from a place hundreds, even thousands of miles away from Sea God Island.
It was already settled!
This coincidence, this speed, this absurdity.
Could he be a swindler?
Surely not? A swindler could not possibly be this handsome, nor could he have this kind of bearing.
Bearing was not something one could fake.
A strange look appeared on Elder Kui's face. This situation was truly hard to imagine.
"What did you talk about?" Tang Chen was certain this fellow was Sea God Island's Young God, and did not have as many thoughts as Elder Kui.
"Nonsense!"
Instead, Saintess Bei'er could not hold back her temper. She looked at Su Mutian and said haughtily, "Tie him up and take him back to the clan grounds. Interrogate him properly, and he'll confess everything!"
That made sense!
Elder Kui looked at her great-granddaughter with relief, feeling that she had finally grown a little.
At the very least, she had not lost her mind to beauty.
Only Su Mutian's expression was complicated.
Tie him up and take him back?!
Interrogate him!
Confess everything?!
Prison temptation!
What the hell do you want to do?!
It really was not Su Mutian's imagination running wild.
Rather, through her sly gaze, he saw a trace of desire that was difficult to put into words.
She had improper designs on him!
"The problem is, I'm very strong too, so why should I be afraid of them?"
Su Mutian tilted his head and thought.
"Grandmother Kui, since Sea God Island's Young God has also intervened in this matter, why don't we talk? About Luo'er, she..."
Tang Chen asked tentatively.
"Who is your grandmother?"
Elder Kui snorted. "Although he does have some of the bearing of the Young God, this old woman is no fool.
"With the Young God's secluded nature, indifferent to fame and fortune and unmoved by the mundane world, how could he appear in a place like the Trade Islands?"
Elder Kui's gaze turned cold. "Naturally, even if he is not the Young God but an outsider, we Sea Charm Tribe are unwilling to get too involved.
"But you, I will make you pay. Even if I have to peel off a layer of my old rotten skin, I'll slap it all over your face!"
"Great-grandmother, mind your image."
Seeing her great-grandmother act so contrary to her usual kind and benevolent image, Bei'er could not help but remind her in a low voice.
Meanwhile, Su Mutian was in Sea God Hall, drinking iced coconut milk and enjoying the natural breeze.
Oh my, those words felt good to hear!
She was so right!
His opinion of Elder Kui suddenly changed.
Originally, Su Mutian had sensed that things were going wrong and had even been secretly copying the martial arts novels, preparing to use Soul Power to open up his Ren and Du meridians and slip away.
He had not expected the Sea Charm Tribe to be so principled.
It truly was a case of: either I ignore you, or when I do pay attention to you, it isn't because I've yielded—it's because you're in trouble.
Su Mutian nodded. "You're right. Originally, I shouldn't have interfered in this matter, but since both sides sought out Sea God Island, I'm helpless too.
"However, since Elder Kui Mei has said as much, that works out perfectly."
Su Mutian waved his little hand, indicating to Tang Chen that there was nothing he could do either.
Wait!
Both sides had sought out Sea God Island!
Elder Kui looked at Su Mutian's calm and effortless demeanor. He did not seem to be joking.
The crucial point was, how did this youth know that the Sea Charm Tribe had sought out Sea God Island?
This was currently a clan secret. Aside from those at elder level and above, very few people knew.
Could he really be the Young God?
And he had flown from Sea God Island to the Sea Exchange overnight!
Even High Priest Bo Saixi could not reach such a realm.
Perhaps this was what it meant to be the existence closest to a god.
A thousand miles shortened to a single step!
"Young God Poseinan?" Elder Kui asked again in confusion.
"?" Su Mutian did not understand. Had she not refused to believe his identity?
What was this about?
"Young God, this old woman was blind and offended the Young God. I ask the Young God for forgiveness."
Elder Kui actually bent at the waist on the spot, her attitude extremely respectful.
"He really is Young God Poseinan?!" Bei'er cried out in shock.
It was over. He was far beyond her reach.
Just then.
A dreamlike voice came from the sky.
"Who dares cause trouble on Sea Exchange Island?"
Hearing this.
Everyone looked toward the direction the voice came from.
They saw a noble, elegant-looking young man with thick light-gray hair descending from the sky.
Su Mutian immediately wilted.
This person was Sea Illusion Douluo, one of Sea God Island's Seven Guardian Douluo!
He was also a Titled Douluo with both looks and strength.
However, the only pity was that in outsiders' eyes, he had no arms.
A handsome man without arms made Su Mutian think of Louis Koo's version of Yang Guo, which in turn made him think of the utterly ordinary little Ding Peng...
But with the demigod strength of Su Mutian's avatar, he could actually faintly see Sea Illusion Douluo's invisible arms.
Perhaps he had cultivated his martial soul to the extreme, causing it to extend into his body.
It could be treated as a trump card, and was also the result of his martial soul mutating.
As for why he wilted...
Tang Chen was an outsider. So what if he knew Su Mutian had gone out?
But Sea Illusion Douluo was one of Sea God Island's own people!
Once he returned to Sea God Island, if his mouth ran loose and he revealed to Bo Saixi that Su Mutian had snuck out to play again...
Oh-ho, he was doomed.
It felt just like having a tiny secret discovered by his wife.
Sigh... since he was already here, he might as well take things as they came...
"Lord Sea Illusion."
"Greetings, Lord Sea Illusion."
After he landed, everyone greeted Sea Illusion Douluo one after another.
He was the manager of the Trade Islands. Those who came often inevitably had to pass through his hands, so naturally they had to be somewhat respectful.
As for Su Mutian, some people had not even heard of the title Young God of Sea God Island.
"Lord Sea Illusion."
As he approached, Elder Kui of the Sea Charm Tribe said to Sea Illusion Douluo, "This old woman had no intention of causing trouble. I merely encountered a great enemy of our clan and startled Lord Sea Illusion. I hope you will forgive me."
"So it is the venerable elder of the Sea Charm Tribe."
Sea Illusion Douluo nodded. "The Sea Charm Tribe has always been unwilling to invite trouble. What scoundrel could have provoked you into causing such a commotion?"
Tang Chen instantly felt as if another knife had been driven into his heart.
"Just a beast!"
Elder Kui's words carried a hidden meaning. "The Young God has already agreed to help my tribe resolve this matter. From now on, my tribe will take Sea God Island's commands as our decree."
"Young God?"
Sea Illusion Douluo murmured, "The Young God has always resided within Sea God Hall and rarely goes out. Even I have only met him a few times. For your Sea Charm Tribe to obtain the Young God's agreement is truly good fortune.
"However, I just came from afar and vaguely saw a figure very much like the Young God. I was just about to come over and see what was going on. That person..."
Sea Illusion Douluo looked back, and his finger happened to point at the helpless Su Mutian...
"You... Young... Young Young Young God!"
Sea Illusion Douluo instantly stammered, unable to connect his words.
It really was Sea God Island's Young God. His appearance was so handsome, his strength extraordinary, and he was so low-key and refined.
This was practically an incognito inspection tour, showing concern for the people!
What made everyone's jaws drop even further was this.
Sea Illusion Douluo knelt on one knee, lowered his head, cupped his hands, and said, "The Young God has descended upon the Exchange Island, yet Sea Illusion failed to welcome you in time. Sea Illusion has committed a grave offense!"
The Young God's personality had always been reserved and elegant, so he probably would not make things difficult for him. What Sea Illusion truly feared was High Priest Bo Saixi punishing him afterward!
It was said that the last time the food prepared by Sea God Island's chef did not suit the Young God's taste, the chef was immediately expelled from Sea God Island. One could say his status had fallen straight to rock bottom!
