Chapter 238 My Teacher
As soon as Zhang Cheng's words reached Ming Shiyin's ears, Ming Shiyin felt a chill on his neck.
Just as Ming Shiyin was about to struggle, he felt a knife blade scratching his neck again, leaving a shallow wound on his neck.
A sharp pain quickly spread throughout Ming Shiyin's entire body, causing fear, anger, humiliation and other emotions to flash quickly through Ming Shiyin's heart.
After a long time, Ming Shiyin gradually came to his senses.
"If you kill me, I guarantee you won't be able to leave here alive today."
Zhang Cheng smiled at Ming Shiyin and said, "Do you think these pirates can really kill me? If I were so weak, how could I sneak up behind you and take you hostage?"
"Also, if you die at my hands, even if I am killed by other pirates, you won't know how I died. If you can't see how I was killed, won't you feel a little unwilling in your heart?"
Ming Shiyin would indeed feel unwilling to see Zhang Cheng being killed.
In addition, Ming Shiyin didn't want to die here, as he still had a lot of things to do.
So as soon as Zhang Cheng finished speaking, Ming Shiyin asked him, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"It's simple. This time you admit defeat and ask these pirates to make way for the Black Scallop to leave for now."
After listening to Zhang Cheng's words, Ming Shiyin was silent for a moment and said, "I only assisted these pirates in looting the Black Scallop. I cannot order these pirates to leave."
"Okay, stop showing off your wisdom in front of me. The cargo on the Black Scallop is not attractive to these pirates at all. So these pirates must have been hired by you. And based on my understanding of you, you will not give all the commissions to the pirates before the mission is completed."
"So, the pirates want to get all the commissions from you, and they will obey your orders without hesitation."
"Humph, you are indeed much smarter than I thought."
After Ming Shiyin finished speaking, he turned and looked at the one-eyed dragon.
At this moment, the one-eyed dragon had just recovered from his drowsiness, and his face was full of pain.
"Go and pass on my order. Tell the pirate ship to make way and let the Black Scallop leave temporarily."
The one-eyed dragon was stunned for a moment, then nodded at Ming Shiyin and quickly ran away.
After a while, Ming Shiyin's order was passed down.
A large number of pirate ships began to evade to both sides in an orderly manner, and after a while, a passage appeared.
The Black Scallop had been waiting for an opportunity. As soon as the passage was formed, the Black Scallop quickly moved forward along the passage and soon escaped from the pirates' encirclement.
Watching the Black Scallop going farther and farther away, Ming Shiyin couldn't help but smile and said to Zhang Cheng: "You saved the Black Scallop, but the Black Scallop left you. I'm curious, how are you going to get out of this."
"Don't expect me to give you a sampan. Even if I agree to give you a sampan, you won't be able to find your way in the foggy sea."
Hearing Ming Shiyin's words, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile and said, "I know you have a way to identify the direction in the sea of fog, so before I release you, you need to hand over the treasure for identifying the direction to me."
Zhang Cheng’s words instantly made Ming Shiyin frown.
"I don't know what you are talking about. I don't have any treasure to tell me the direction. Besides, can you be an honest person? I have already let the Black Scallop leave. You should let me go as agreed."
Zhang Cheng put his mouth close to Ming Shiyin's ear, smiled and said: "First of all, there is no need to be honest in front of you. Secondly, do you think I am easy to deceive?"
"Give me the things and I'll let you go. We can have a chance to compete again in the future. If you don't give me the things, I'll kill you right now."
"Ming Shiyin, have you forgotten why you joined Emperor Jun in the first place? Your beloved things are occupied by others. If you die in the sea of mist like this, can you be willing?"
Zhang Cheng’s words made Ming Shiyin frown.
After taking a deep breath, Ming Shiyin said, "I can give you the treasure, but you have to wait half an hour. In half an hour, the Black Scallop will have gone very far. Even if you get the treasure, you will never be able to leave the Misty Sea alive."
"Half an hour?"
Zhang Cheng frowned slightly.
The Sea of Fog is very large, and it is still a long distance away from the sea.
If Zhang Cheng, who is good at controlling water, loses the Black Scallop, he will not drown, but it will take more effort and waste more time to reach Haidu.
Seeing that Zhang Cheng didn't say anything, Ming Shiyin smiled complacently and said, "This is my biggest concession."
"Okay, let's spend half an hour like this. I also have something to talk to you about."
The Black Scallop had just passed through the passage when a large number of pirate ships disappeared into the blue mist.
Seeing this, Ji Xiaoman hurriedly shouted to the captain: "The Black Scallop is parked here, we must wait for Teacher Zhang to board the ship."
Hearing Ji Xiaoman's words, the captain whispered, "We are too close to the pirate ship. After Lord Zhang gets rid of the pirate ship, we will soon be caught up by the pirate ship. In this way, all Lord Zhang's efforts will be in vain."
"Besides, the sea water is flowing. Unless we drop the anchor, the Black Scallop will still move forward slowly even if we remove the sails."
It is impossible to drop the anchor as the pirate ship is not far behind us. Dropping the anchor at this time would undoubtedly be suicide.
"My teacher saved the Black Scallop. We can't just abandon him."
The captain was in a dilemma. Seeing this, Kuang Tie took two steps forward and said to Ji Xiaoman, "Lord Zhang chose to sacrifice himself to save others. His character is noble. We cannot let him sacrifice in vain."
"Ji Xiaoman, please recall carefully. When I first met Lord Zhang, I had a conflict with him. I hit Lord Zhang's head with my full strength, but it didn't have any effect on him. This is enough to show that Lord Zhang is stronger than us. He thinks he can get rid of the pirates' pursuit by himself."
"If we stop the ship here, the black scallops will only become a burden to Lord Zhang. I don't think Lord Zhang would want to see us stay here and wait for the pirates to surround us again after he finally helped us escape."
Ji Xiaoman wanted to say something, but saw Diao Chan came forward and put her arm around Ji Xiaoman's shoulders.
"Xiao Man, don't worry, your teacher will be fine."
"It better be this way."
Ji Xiaoman shook off Diao Chan's hand and continued, "If my teacher makes the slightest mistake, I will treat you as murderers!"
