Qin He followed Zhou Shan and the others to a window-side table. They had barely sat down when Zhao Xiaojia slapped the table and shouted, "Shopkeeper! Two jars of Azure Spirit Brew, three to five jin of sliced Sea Spirit Meat, and some dried fruit!"
Once the shopkeeper had brought the food and drink, they each sampled the spirit brew. Zhou Shan looked around at the group. "Folks, a man needs a brain, and a snake needs a head. The prospects of this trip are unclear, so we need to lay out the rules first. I have the highest cultivation among us on this trip to Ghost Ship Sea. When something happens, you listen to my command and don't act on your own. If we find treasure, we split it according to contribution. If it's a reward from the Dragon Clan, the five of us divide it equally. What do you think?"
Liu Yu nodded. "Big Brother Zhou's reputation precedes him. Naturally, you should lead us."
Zhao Xiaojia nodded as well. "Big Brother Zhou has taken the lead whenever we've worked together these past years. This time is no exception, of course. I have no objections."
Zhou Shan looked at Wu Gou, who cupped his hands. "Big Brother Zhou will decide."
Qin He lifted his cup and took a sip, nodding carelessly. "We'll listen to Brother Zhou."
His mind was entirely on Long Qingyun. He did not care about such trivial matters to begin with.
"Haha, good! I'm honored by your trust. Sister Liu and Xiaojia know me well, while Brother Wei and Brother Wu are working with me for the first time. Just watch how I conduct myself. I would never do something that harmed the public to enrich myself." Zhou Shan clasped his hands and thumped his chest.
