Luo Tuimao leaped off the ship and disappeared into the crowd.
At this mont, within the crowd on the dock, there were a few pairs of resentful eyes fixed on Robb and his groups large ship.
Leading the group was a hall master from the Eighteen Divinations. He was the one who had demanded protection money from Robb and the others at sea and had been ramd by Robbs ship. Standing beside him were two individuals wearing straw hats and dressed as knights, with swords at their waists. All three of them were observing Robbs ship from a distance.
The hall master muttered softly, Its these ships, and that blond young man on the ship. I rember that cursed face of his.
One of the straw-hatted n beside him whispered, Should we have the enforcers take care of him now?
The hall master shook his head, Dont do sothing foolish. This is Boning Port, not a small county like Xiangshan Port. Killing soone in front of the officials here would lead to a thorough investigation. Although the authorities might not necessarily be able to touch our Eighteen Divinations, its best to avoid stirring up trouble with them.
Both straw-hatted n nodded in agreent. The governnt was a scoffed-at entity in the martial world, yet it was also an entity that shouldnt be entirely ignored. It would be a mistake to assu that the governnt lacked capable individuals. Theres an old saying, Acquiring literary and martial arts skills, one can serve emperors and kings. Many martial arts experts served the governnt, such as the renowned Four Great Rabbit Catchers. If the Eighteen Divinations were to commit a public murder and offend the governnt, the authorities might retaliate by sending experts to confront them, leading to significant trouble.
One of the straw-hatted n suggested, Should we quietly deal with that guy nad Luo Tuimao, that piece of trash?
The hall master snorted coldly, Enough, dont bother with such ignorant fools. If we engage in a conflict with such morons, it would tarnish the reputation of the Eighteen Divinations. After all, we are the largest faction in the Southeastern Sea region, and we must adhere to certain principles of the martial world.
Both straw-hatted n nodded in agreent.
After a few seconds passed, one of the straw-hatted n whispered, I do have a good idea. We could send a few water ghosts to sneak over, bore holes in their ship hulls, and let these three ships sink without a trace. It would be a way to vent our frustration. The water ghosts could approach underwater and act underwater, and the authorities wouldnt know who did it, so they wouldnt trouble us.
The hall master erupted, smacking his head, Damn idiot. Western sailing ships arent small boats like ours. These large ships have multiple watertight compartnts in their hulls. Even if you bore one hole, let alone completely riddle the hull with holes, the ship wouldnt sink.
The straw-hatted man who spoke earlier broke into a sweat, I see, so thats how it is. Were from a land-based faction, and were not familiar with ships.
Another straw-hatted man suggested, Lets try this approach. After it gets dark and the moon is hidden by clouds, when the officials are asleep, well send a group of water ghosts. Theyll quietly swim to the side of the big ship, climb aboard, and let Master Enforcer take care of that blond kid. The rest of our people will kill all those Western sailors. Then, well sail the three ships to our Zhoushan Port. No one will be aware, and the officials will probably think the Westerners left overnight on their own.
A brilliant plan, the hall master said, The only question now is whether Master Enforcer can handle that blond kid.
The two straw-hatted n couldnt help but smile, Master Enforcers cultivation is so high, how could he not handle a Westerner? Master, youre worrying too much.
The hall master responded, I hope so. But according to our brothers in Xiangshan Port, this guys agility is as fast as a ghosts. He knocks people on the head with precision every ti. Hes not easy to deal with.
The two straw-hatted n chuckled, So what if hes agile? He has no strength in his palms. None of our brothers hit by him in Xiangshan Port died; they were just startled. These Westerners dont understand the true power of our Daoist techniques. They lack inner power, so they cant harm us. Moreover, Master Enforcer excels in agility. Theres no way he would lose to a Westerner.
The hall master nodded, Alright, then go and ask Master Enforcer to take action. Tonight, when its dark and the winds are high, have the Western sailors on the three ships killed quietly without anyone noticing. Bring over these three Western sailing ships.
With their plan set, the two individuals disappeared stealthily into the crowd.
anwhile, Robb was disassembling his equipnt!
He took off his T-shirt, jeans, and appearance-changing attire. He replaced them with a scholars long robe that he had just bought near the dock. This clothing was from the real world, not appearance-changing attire, so it couldnt conceal his other equipnt. To wear it, he had to remove all his gear.
However, as long as the Black Dragon didnt attack, he could do without wearing his equipnt.
After donning the scholars robe, he also grabbed a folding fan, playfully flicking it open. Then he turned to the two young girls and said, Lets go! Its ti for us to go shopping.
By now, the two young girls had also changed into standard Big Tang attire, transforming into cute Hanfu-style young ladies. Regrettably, their facial features were distinctly Western, not the typical East Asian appearance with fair skin and black hair. This made their appearance in Hanfu attire sowhat awkward.
Robb was pondering this when he suddenly noticed that rabbits were everywhere on the street. He realized that even if the two Western girls wore Hanfu, it wasnt too bad. At least, it was much better than rabbit heads.
Lets go, lets go shopping, Robb said with a smile. We used to have those little snacks made by the Rabbit Masters back in Westwind City. You can find all of them here, and the snacks you get in a place like this are sure to be more authentic, hahaha.
Both young girls liked sweets, and upon hearing this, they beca quite excited. Sounds great, shopping!
The three of them disembarked, left the dock, and headed towards the city behind the harbor. The city walls, over six ters high, stood tall and imposing. Inside the city gate, there was a bustling scene with a multitude of people, and pedestrians flowed like a river. Along the way, many rabbit people pointed and whispered to each other about the three of them.
The sight of three Westerners wearing Hanfu while shopping was indeed quite peculiar.
Two scholars in the crowd brushed past Robb, making snide comnts with a strange tone, These three Western devils are really foolish, actually wearing our clothes.
The n look foolish, but the won are quite attractive.
How can you say these won, who look like devils, are attractive?
They chatted and giggled as they walked away. Suddenly, Robb turned to them with a smile and said, Speaking ill of others like this, arent you being a bit shaless? I understand the language of Big Tang.
This sentence startled the scholars, and their faces turned red. They hurriedly fled.
Robb couldnt help but burst into laughter. Cowards, only daring to gossip behind peoples backs? As soon as you heard I could understand your conversation, you imdiately ran away. Cant you have a little more backbone?
