The steward of the ship quickly went up to him and persuaded, “Mister, it’s only a wooden hairpin. You can come to our company and pick one for free later.”
Chen Xu glanced at the steward. “Boss Blade has a sharper eye than you. No wonder he is the boss, and you are only a steward.”
The steward was confused by Chen Xu’s words, feeling weird when he looked at Chen Xu’s calm eyes.
Boss Blade looked at Chen Xu and said, “Bring it over, or I will kill you.”
Chen Xu said with interest, “It’s the first time someone has said this to me.”
The steward glanced at Chen Xu, who said in a light voice as if he was telling the truth instead of bragging.
Boss Blade sneered and said, “I think it will be the last time you hear it in your life.”
Chen Xu looked at Xiao Xiaodong and said helplessly, “The hairpin you gave me has caused trouble.”
Xiao Xiaodong glanced at Chen Xu and swung his sword at Boss Blade.
“You’re looking for…” ‘Death.’
Boss Blade saw Xiao Xiaodong make a move and knew that he had encountered a master. He felt indignant. He hated to meet masters disguised as ordinary cultivators. They pretended to be a coward, but when they got offended, they launched fierce attacks.
Xiao Xiaodong’s strength was far superior to that of the pirate. After a while, Boss Blade was seriously injured by Xiao Xiaodong. “Mister, it’s only a misunderstanding. Please spare me.”
“You talk too much,” Xiao Xiaodong said in a deep voice.
Xiao Xiaodong ignored Boss Blade’s pleading and killed him without hesitation.
Chen Xu touched the hairpin on his head and calmly stood on the side. When they were at Nebula, they were always hunted down by the enemies. Chen Xu had killed quite many cultivators and had been used to such bloody scenes. Therefore, he didn’t turn a hair when he saw Xiao Xiaodong kill the pirate.
The other pirates saw that their boss was killed and fled.
Chen Xu looked at the body of Boss Blade and shook his head. “He has a sharp eye for the treasures, but he is blind to cultivation levels.”
The steward of the ship looked at Chen Xu and shivered in terror. He had thought Chen Xu was looking for trouble a moment ago, but now he was freaked out.
“Senior, sorry for underestimating you before.” He looked at Xiao Xiaodong with awe.
Xiao Xiaodong glanced at him and said, “Everything should remain unchanged. Don’t disturb me.”
Hearing this, the steward nodded and said, “I know, I know.”
Xiao Xiaodong went back to the cabin with Chen Xu.
…
“Boss, I didn’t expect there is a powerful master onboard,” said a sailor in surprise.
The steward frowned and said, “Boss Blade is a medium Golden Core, and that mysterious cultivator should be an advanced Golden Core since he could easily kill Boss Blade.” The Golden Core cultivator on the ship was only a preliminary Golden Core, whose strength was much inferior to that of Boss Blade. Therefore, he didn’t dare to resist when the pirates took the ship.
After Xiao Xiaodong’s strength was exposed, the crew member who changed the cabin that Chen Xu booked was freaked out. The steward broke out in cold sweat when he knew that. He hurried to vacate the cabin for Chen Xu.
“Although the cultivator is ruthless, he is quite reasonable,” said the steward.
If Boss Blade had not taken a fancy to that hairpin, he would not have died. The mysterious cultivator didn’t complain about the change of the cabin, but the steward thought that he had left a bad impression on them.
“The hairpin looks ordinary, but Boss Blade died for it,” a crew member sighed.
“He has a sharp eye. That hairpin must be precious. Otherwise, he would not have stopped that cultivator.”
“Boss Blade has a sharp eye, but he died for it. Sometimes, it’s good to be stupid,” gloated another crew member.
The steward narrowed his eyes and said, “Poor guy!” A moment ago, Boss Blade was bullying everyone on the ship, but now he was dead.
“The cultivator who killed him is a real master. His move is deadly. Compared to him, the Golden Core we hired is much inferior,” said a crew member.
The Golden Core cultivator was a passenger, and the steward paid him a large sum of money, hoping he would help the ship out of trouble on the way. However, the cultivator behaved like a coward today.
The steward glared at the crew member and said, “What nonsense are you talking? How can you complain about a Golden Core? The cultivator who killed Boss Blade is not simple, nor is the one with the hairpin. He must be an advanced Golden Core as well.”
“The secret realm in Barbarian Continent has attracted so many cultivators. It seems unusual,” said the crew member.
The steward frowned and asked, “Are there really treasures in the secret realm?”
“Boss, who do you think the mysterious cultivator is? He shouldn’t be an obscure cultivator judging from his strength.”
The steward shook his head and said, “It is obvious that he doesn’t want to reveal his identity.”
