Chapter 1837: Swindling
“Mentor, welcome!”
Beat it! Zhou Danjin glared at the little fatty before walking into the first floor cabin.
Right now, he wanted to bathe and eat. He would sort up these brats after that!
The little fatty stuck his tongue out behind Zhou Danjin. Afterwards, he exclaimed to Qiao Mu with lingering fear, “Qiaoqiao, looks like yesterday’s waves really were extremely huge!”
Even Mentor Zhou wasn’t able to last the night and had been smacked into the sea by the wind and rain. If it were them, they would’ve gotten ravaged in mere minutes.
Qiao Mu nodded at this. Afterwards, they returned to the dining hall and ate some fruit.
After was.h.i.+ng and tidying himself up, Mentor Zhou came out of his room and sized up everybody. He then asked suspiciously, “Where did you guys get this s.h.i.+p from?!”
Ma Ta promptly slapped his thigh dramatically when he heard this. “You might not believe it when I tell you, Mentor Zhou. This s.h.i.+p sailed over itself not too long after you left! When we called the s.h.i.+p for help but saw no one helping us, we decided to just board the s.h.i.+p.”
“That’s right, we only discovered after boarding the s.h.i.+p that it didn’t have an owner at all. It’s all controlled by golems!” The little master continued spinning the tale with a sincere expression. “We were simply overjoyed. Mentor, you don’t know, but we were thinking of you just now. We were worried something might have happened to you during the night. We were safe on this s.h.i.+p and were able to avoid the wind and rain. This s.h.i.+p was so steady!”
Zhou Danjin: …
F*ck, he felt like this group of brats wasn’t telling the truth!
How could there be such a coincidence? Oh! The s.h.i.+p just friggin’ sailed itself over minutes after he left? Wasn’t this ludicrous!
“No, this s.h.i.+p.” Mentor Zhou circled around the dining hall and examined the extravagant furnis.h.i.+ngs. He stared at one mural in particular and exclaimed in shock, “This is the legendary Scarlet Sky Breaker!”
Uh…
The “group of brats” who had underestimated Mentor Zhou’s cultural literacy exchanged glances. They simultaneously put on looks of confusion.
“Mentor Zhou, what are you talking about? What Scarlet Sky Breaker?”
“This is a legendary sacred weapon!” Zhou Danjin knitted his brows and explained while pointing at the mural, “Look, the mural is depicting the entire process of craftsmen meticulously constructing the s.h.i.+p. There is even a great master extracting the essence from forging materials using a cauldron! This process is rather time-consuming!”
Mentor Zhou continued to observe the mural.
Behind him, the students looked at each other and couldn’t help but roast: They had stayed here for a night but didn’t even notice that mural at all. Since they had merely pa.s.sed by it, how would they have scrutinized the contents of the mural…
As expected of a mentor! Even though he normally looked rather unreliable, the students had to acknowledge that they were not as knowledgeable as him.
“Where did you get this s.h.i.+p from?” Zhou Danjin sternly looked at Qiao Mu and the rest. “It is impossible for this s.h.i.+p to appear in the Middle Prefectures. Quickly tell the truth.”
Hopefully this group of brats didn’t provoke some powerful enemy for a sacred weapon, which was only a mere worldly possession.
“I told you, but you don’t believe it! I said it sailed through the wind and waves itself, so we just boarded it!” Ma Ta rolled his eyes and rea.s.sured, “Mentor, don’t worry. We absolutely did not s.n.a.t.c.h this s.h.i.+p.”
