"Indeed."
After listening to Lan Xiaoyan and the others, Zhao Chen finally understood how the enmity between the two sides had begun.
Simply put, that Star Sea Flying Boat had been prey targeted by the Ren Family.
And to prevent others from interfering, the Ren Family had symbolically posted an adventure mission at the Adventurers' Guild, hiring a few adventurers to escort it.
At this Adventurers' Guild in Chaotic Ancient City, the other adventure teams all had fairly large numbers.
Once they joined the escort, the risks would be considerable.
Thus, through a twist of fate, the five-person adventure team of Lan Xiaoyan, Dongfang Jian, and the others became the escorts of that Star Sea Flying Boat.
The result was...
The Star Sea Flying Boat successfully reached its destination, while every Ren Family pirate who had attempted to attack it was slain.
And the leader of those Ren Family pirates had been none other than the Ren Family's Young Master, Ren Qitao.
That was also why he had relentlessly pursued Dongfang Jian and the others, determined to kill them.
"If we hadn't killed Tu Ren Gu and Ren Qitao, we probably never would have learned about this!"
Even someone as even-tempered as Dongfang Jian was burning with rage.
He wished he could tear those two enemies' corpses to pieces and grind their bones to ashes!
Just moments ago, he had felt that killing them might have been somewhat inappropriate.
But now, he realized it was not!
Otherwise, they would truly have remained in the dark all along.
That escort mission had been extremely dangerous.
They had nearly died there.
Old grudges and new hatred left everyone utterly furious!
Yet Zhao Chen had no mind to dwell on any of this.
He was fiddling with the human-skin mask in his hand.
