550: Lu Xueqi (27)
Su Han’s expression remained unchanged.
He calmly scanned his surroundings, searching for a place that might sell ships.
Bi Yao, on the other hand, looked around curiously.
She seemed quite familiar with such chaotic places, even thriving in them.
Lu Xueqi frowned slightly, clearly disliking the murky atmosphere of the area, but she maintained her cool and aloof demeanor, staying close by Su Han’s side.
The trio’s combination, especially the stunning beauty of Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao, made them exceptionally conspicuous in this chaotic place.
Before long, some ill-mannered individuals approached them.
A burly man reeking of alcohol and with a scar across his Face staggered over, blocking their path.
“Yo, where did these little ladies come from? You’re truly stunning.
How about a drink with this old master?”
As he spoke, he reached out a dirty hand, attempting to touch Bi Yao’s Face.
A cold glint flashed in Bi Yao’s eyes, and she was about to make her move, but Su Han had already acted first.
He seemingly casually stepped forward, perfectly blocking Bi Yao.
Without him appearing to do anything, the burly man’s wrist was repelled by an invisible force, and he stumbled back several steps.
“Friend, please show some self-respect.”
Su Han’s voice was calm but carried an undeniable authority.
The burly man froze for a moment, sobering up considerably.
Having lived a life on the edge, he still had some discernment.
He immediately realized that this young man in front of him was not to be trifled with.
He sullenly spat, grumbling as he walked away.
However, the hostile gazes from the surroundings did not diminish; instead, they increased.
Clearly, they had become prime targets in the eyes of some.
“It seems it’s hard to keep a low profile,” Bi Yao pouted.
“Why don’t we just find a local bigwig and ask?”
Su Han shook his head slightly.
“Let’s observe the situation first.”
He noticed that in the depths of the port, there was a relatively orderly area.
There was a large wooden building with a banner hanging at its entrance, on which the characters “Shipyard” were faintly visible.
“Let’s go check that out.”
The trio walked towards the shipyard.
The further they went, the fewer people they encountered, but the stronger the aura became.
Clearly, those qualified to enter that area were not ordinary individuals.
Upon arriving at the shipyard’s main gate, two guards with formidable auras and bulging temples blocked their path.
“Stop.
What are you doing here?” the one-eyed guard on the left barked coldly, his gaze sweeping over Su Han and the two women, lingering particularly long on Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao, revealing a hint of lewdness.
“We heard that your establishment has boats for sale; we’ve come to take a look,” Su Han said calmly.
“Buying a boat?” The one-eyed guard scoffed.
“The boats here aren’t something you outsiders can afford.
Looking at your delicate appearances, are you perhaps a Young Master and Young Miss who ran away from some big Family?
This isn’t a place for playing games.”
The other guard, with a tattooed Face, chuckled, “You can go in if you want.
Leave these two little ladies to keep us brothers company, and we’ll let you in.”
Bi Yao’s pretty Face instantly turned cold, and Lu Xueqi’s eyes were as icy as frost.
Su Han frowned slightly.
He didn’t want to cause trouble, but the other party’s words insulted his companions, and he couldn’t remain silent.
Just as he was about to speak, a slightly effeminate voice came from the side.
“Heh heh, King Wang’s lackeys are becoming increasingly undisciplined.”
A young man dressed in brocade robes, with a pale complexion and holding a folding fan, walked over, surrounded by a group of guards.
The young man had sunken eyes and an unsteady gait, clearly indicating excessive indulgence, but his gaze held a venomous chill.
When the two guards saw this youth, their expressions immediately changed, and they quickly bowed in salute.
“Greetings, Young Master!”
The youth, referred to as the Young Master, didn’t even glance at them.
His gaze fell directly on Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao, and a strong sense of admiration and greed flashed in his eyes.
“Tsk tsk, truly peerless beauties.
I didn’t expect to encounter such stunning women in this Black Water Port.”
He fanned himself, striking what he considered a dashing pose, and said to Su Han, “Friend, you look unfamiliar.
Is this your first time in Black Water Port?
I am Situ Ming, the Young Master of the Black Water Gang.
This shipyard is my Family’s property.
If you want to buy a boat, why bother with these servants?
Just come in with me.”
As he spoke, he was about to step forward to lead the way, but his gaze never left the two women.
Su Han sneered inwardly.
Situ Ming seemed polite, but in reality, he didn’t put Su Han in his eyes at all.
His intention was obvious.
“No need for Young Master’s trouble; we can look around ourselves,” Su Han said indifferently.
Situ Ming’s Face darkened.
He hadn’t expected Su Han to be so disrespectful.
In this Black Water Port, who dared not give Situ Ming some Face?
“Friend, are you not giving me Face now?” Situ Ming’s tone turned cold.
“In this Black Water Port, there’s nothing that Situ Ming can’t accomplish, and no one I can’t invite.”
The guards behind him immediately surrounded them, each exuding a fierce aura, clearly all skilled fighters.
The atmosphere instantly became tense. (End of Chapter)
