Chapter 718: Everyone Boards the Ship

When Jin Banhua saw them, they, of course, also spotted Jin Banhua.

Ying Wanli's expression froze.

Previously, when Jin Banhua had inquired about the case, he had been cautious and didn't reveal anything to her. Little did he expect that he would be discovered by Jin Banhua.

Jin Banhua had seen his and White Hunter's masks!

Although he was partially hidden by the conical hat, White Hunter was clearly exposed. Ying Wanli feared that Jin Banhua would immediately recognize them.

Jin Banhua didn't reveal their identities, but she stood to the side, smiling with a hint of hidden meaning, seemingly relishing their predicament.

Seeing that Miss Jin Lingzhi's temper was rising, and she had even shouted a high price of six thousand taels of silver, Ying Wanli had no desire to continue the act with Jin Lingzhi. Instead, he raised his voice and asked, "Miss, there's no need to be angry with me. I have other plans for Quick Net Zhang San."

Jin Lingzhi asked, "What plans?"

"Quick Net Zhang San is not only skilled in water combat, but his shipbuilding and sailing techniques are also unparalleled in Jiangnan. I want to buy him for his exceptional abilities." Ying Wanli explained.

As Ying Wanli spoke, he signaled White Hunter to bring out a box from the boat's canopy. When the box was opened, it revealed a chest full of gold ingots, "No matter what price you offer, I will not yield."

Upon seeing the dazzling golden light, Jin Lingzhi was also stunned.

Hearing Ying Wanli's words and seeing the chest of gold ingots, Ding Feng's eyes flickered, and he tentatively asked, "The sea is unpredictable, and the dangers of sailing are far greater than those on the rivers and lakes. If you don't have urgent matters, it's best to avoid going."

Ying Wanli glanced at Gou Zichang and then looked deeply at Ding Feng, "Thank you for your concern, but unfortunately, I must go this time."

Without waiting for Ding Feng's response, he seized the moment and asked, "I've heard that there's a Golden Sink Abyss on the sea. Have you heard of it?"

"What Golden Sink Abyss?" Ding Feng asked, his fist tightening involuntarily, wondering how everyone seemed to know about this information.

"This Golden Sink Abyss is located in the southeast sea, in a realm of illusion. Not only does it have rare herbs, immortal fruits, precious pearls, and white jade, but also endless beautiful scenery, endless fine wine, endless secrets, and endless benefits!" Ying Wanli replied.

Jin Banhua couldn't help but touch her forehead.

Having encountered many experts, Ying Wanli, despite his reputation as the White-Robed Divine Listener, had relatively mediocre martial arts skills. Speaking across a distance of over thirty meters, his supporting inner energy was already faltering.

However, a smile appeared on Ding Feng's face.

Bat Island was not engaged in any legitimate business. This person's martial arts were clearly not exceptional, yet he carried such a large amount of gold and silver. Wasn't he delivering the money to them?

Hu Tiehua chimed in, "If there's truly endless fine wine on that island, I'd like to take a look."

Ying Wanli shook his head, "Although this place exists in the mortal world, finding it is a thousand times more difficult. It's not recorded in any geographical books or sea charts. Without a guide, even after searching for ten years, you won't be able to find it."

Hu Tiehua blinked, first looking at Jin Banhua, then at Ding Feng, and chuckled, "I wonder who could guide us there?"

"Only the followers of the Golden Sink Master know the path to the Golden Sink Abyss." Ying Wanli said, "Unfortunately, the master of the Golden Sink Abyss is even more mysterious than the abyss itself, and no one has ever seen what he looks like."

Although Ying Wanli spoke of the mystery of the Golden Sink Abyss, he provided quite detailed information, even mentioning the need for an invitation.

Ding Feng took a deep breath, stopping Ying Wanli from continuing, "If you wish to go, I might have a way."

"Ying Wanli's eyes flashed, and he cupped his fists politely, saying, "Since that's the case, please guide me on a clear path, and I'll be forever grateful."

Ding Feng glanced around, having already revealed his intentions at the restaurant due to Jin Banhua's question. He saw no need to beat around the bush anymore and spoke frankly.

"There's no need for formalities. We also have someone heading there, and if you don't mind, please join us on the boat." Ding Feng answered with a fist to his chest.

Ying Wanli pretended to ponder, feigning reluctance.

Ding Feng's eyes flickered, but he wasn't in a hurry.

However, Hai Kuotian, as a subordinate of Bat Island, understood the urgency and spoke up, goading them, "Since this friend carries a huge sum of money, it's only natural that he'd be cautious about boarding a stranger's boat."

Xiang Tianfei and Hai Kuotian were in perfect harmony, "Moreover, this isn't just any stranger's boat; it's a pirate ship."

Ying Wanli couldn't help but laugh, "I don't have any reservations about you all, but I'm afraid you might have doubts about me."

"How is that possible?" Ding Feng laughed as well, "If someone like you, carrying such a large sum, is busy guarding against others, how could they possibly have the time to scheme against others?"

Ying Wanli nodded, "In that case, I'll follow your lead."

Hu Tiehua looked at Ying Wanli, then at Ding Feng and Jin Lingzhi, and let out a cold laugh, about to speak.

But Chu Liuxiang stopped him, smiling slightly, and asked Ding Feng, "May we be so fortunate as to witness it?"

Ding Feng smiled, "You're too kind. With your reputations, wherever you go, you'll be esteemed guests."

Jin Lingzhi also turned to Hu Tiehua, "You promised to drink with me, you can't leave!"

Zhang San was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "You all have places to go, leaving only me, a lonely soul. Just now, everyone was fighting to buy me, but now no one wants me."

Hu Tiehua wasn't about to let Zhang San off the hook, "Then I'll buy you."

Jin Lingzhi coldly laughed and pulled out a stack of silver notes, waving them in the air, "Six thousand taels! I always keep my word!"

Zhang San leaped from the small boat, grabbing all the silver notes in mid-air, and then lightly landed on the deck of the larger boat, "Thank you, Miss!"

Hu Tiehua glared, "You really sold yourself?"

Zhang San smiled, "If my friend dies, at least I'll have the money to collect his body."

Hu Tiehua was genuinely annoyed.

He was a straightforward person, and while joking was fine, but now that Zhang San had taken Jin Lingzhi's money and become her servant, he saw it as a non-negotiable deal.

Hu Tiehua scoffed, "I have all sorts of friends, but you're the first to be a servant's friend."

However, Zhang San didn't seem to care, "You don't understand. Being a servant to a wealthy person is better than being friends with a poor one. At least they won't be freeloading off you all the time."

Meanwhile, as Zhang San stepped onto the deck, Ying Wanli's small boat also drew closer to the larger vessel.

Bai Lie swung the long rope, connecting it to the big boat.

Ying Wanli carefully walked across the rope and managed to board the larger boat. He didn't put on a show; his martial arts skills were genuinely weak.

Although his martial arts were lacking, Bai Lie showed off his skills, not only displaying exceptional Light Body Skills with his slow and steady rope-walking but also using his immense strength to silence the foul-mouthed Xiang Tianfei.

Then, Ying Wanli introduced his and Bai Lie's fake names: Gongsun Jieyu and Bai Sajiu.
