After Chu Sheng left the ship, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Why had he killed that man?
To silence him, of course!
He wasn't certain whether the man covered in fleshy scars had lied to him, but he didn't think so. The man had asked to die, after all. What reason could he still have to deceive him?
Unless he had a grudge against that young man and had lied for that reason.
If that was the case, Chu Sheng could live with it. Better to kill the wrong man than let a threat escape!
So that young man had to die!
Conveniently, he knew the Peace Pendant's price, which gave him a somewhat reasonable explanation.
It was a little forced, but wasn't that exactly the sort of person Captain Hui and the others thought he was?
"Chu Sheng! You're amazing!" Xingzi immediately came forward to praise him when she saw him return.
She was already on the verge of molding herself completely around him.
Chu Sheng merely gave her a sunny smile without saying anything.
Noon arrived.
Though the sun shone directly overhead, the mist obscured it, leaving their surroundings hazy.
Chu Sheng and the others were still at the Dock.
They found a small hut there that wasn't quite so dilapidated and gathered inside.
A table stood in the middle of the hut, with nine Supernatural Materials and four Sacrificial Items laid out on it.
They were the only ones at the Dock now. Captain Hui had told Cheng Xue to take all the fleet's survivors to the convoy.
Looking at the materials and Sacrificial Items on the table, Captain Hui addressed Chu Sheng, An Xi, and Zhu Qing. "We've already agreed on how to divide everything this time."
"But I'd still like to confirm it again."
