Chapter 838: Chapter 837: All Talented People
Third Lady Xiao was very trustworthy. After accepting this deal, for some reason, she personally took a few people to escort Ah Jiu and his group out of the sea area.
Of course, during this time, no matter how much Yan Er and Wufu tried to get information, they couldnāt pry any navigation routes or markers out of them. This was to prevent Ah Jiu and his group from seeking revenge later. Everyone understood tacitly and stopped trying.
"Iām afraid my people arenāt as skilled as Ninth Masterās, please bear with us," Third Lady Xiao said with a smile, pointing at the food and wine on the table.
"To have a bite to eat is already receiving great favor from Xiao the Chief, how could Ah Jiu dare to complain?" Ah Jiu replied with a smile, cupping his hands.
Third Lady Xiao continued, "Others may not, but if Ninth Master or Young Master Jiu have complaints, I would have nothing to say."
Ah Jiuās eyes flickered, and he smiled without speaking.
Third Lady Xiao poured some wine and toasted to Ah Jiu and Yan Er, saying with a smile, "Meeting is fate, Third Lady offers a toast to you all."
"Please."
Yan Er drank heartily, "Good wine!"
Ah Jiu was just about to drink when the wine in his hand was snatched away by Wufu, who said, "You have an injury, itās best not to drink." Then, addressing Third Lady Xiao, she said, "Xiao the Chief, you donāt mind, do you?"
Third Lady Xiao looked at Wufu, then at Ah Jiu, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Since Ninth Master is injured, naturally we shouldnāt force it, please, miss."
Wufu then drank the wine.
"The young girl indeed has a good capacity for liquor," Third Lady Xiao praised with squinted eyes.
Wufu giggled, "Not as much as the Chief; youāre so young and already a leader, I truly admire you."
Third Lady Xiao laughed and said, "Iām just a gang leader, whatās there to admire? Do you truly highly regard a gang leader?"
"Thatās not how to say it. A gang leader is still a leader, leading a large organization. If there were no capability and talent, how could one convince others? Whatās more, Xiao the Chief is a woman whoās just as strong as any man, Iād like to see who would dare belittle us women!" Wufu said with a playful blink of her eyes.
Third Lady Xiao was amused and said, "You really know how to talk with that mouth." She paused and said, "Even so, a thief is still a thief, thereās nothing good about it."
"Hasnāt Xiao the Chief ever thought of changing careers?" Wufu asked.
"Change careers?"
"With your capabilities, turning to the right path, wouldnāt you be able to achieve great things? Then your descendants could stand upright in front of others without the worry of being eradicated one day," Wufu said with a smile.
Third Lady Xiao was stunned, glanced at Ah Jiu, and said, "Miss Wufu jests, pirates like us are hunted by everyone, who would dare use us?"
"Dare or not, that depends on how capable the Chief is. If you can lead this Skull Gang far, why worry about not meeting a wise leader?"
Third Lady Xiao was moved: "How far is āfarā?"
"For instance, sweeping across this sea area and becoming the true overlord of the sea," Wufu smiled and said, "If that happens, who would dare look down on the Skull Gang? If Xiao the Chief truly becomes the overlord of the sea, when Wufu passes through, you must make it convenient for me."
Yan Er frowned and looked at Wufu, then at Ah Jiu.
Ah Jiu just raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
"It seems, I misjudged again. Even a girl by Ninth Masterās side is a capable person," Third Lady Xiao smiled and looked at Ah Jiu.
Ah Jiu looked fondly at Wufu and said, "The Chief overpraises, not as much as Xiao the Chief."
Third Lady Xiao chuckled, took a sip from her cup, and looked at the girl with a blossoming smile, feeling her heart skip a beat, with a sense of gratitude forming.
