After listening to Huang Tianhua's explanation, Zhang Yifeng finally understood how important maritime trade is to the Huang family today.

No wonder he was so excited; all the hard work he had put in along the way was about to be rewarded.

Zhang Yifeng nodded slightly and looked at the scene inside the huge island.

Even though it is just a dock, there are at least hundreds of ships gathered here at this moment.

Some of the ships, like the Huang family’s, were flying the caravan flag.

The rest were some magnificently decorated ships, which were obviously sent by extremely prestigious families in Sihaizhou.

It has to be said that before Zhang Yifeng arrived, he had never thought that the situation here would be like this.

No matter it is the Sea Clan or the Lei Family, as the guardian clans of the Emperor's Treasury, they are all very low-key.

And looking at the many ships that had gathered here just to celebrate the birthday of the owner of Xuanqiu Island, he felt that this person might have a very flamboyant personality.

I also don’t understand why Emperor Taiwu chose this person to be the guardian of his heritage.

Zhang Yifeng shook his head slightly, but his expression remained unchanged. He just led his men to follow Huang Tianhua.

However, compared to Huang Tianhua, the butler Wang seemed to be more familiar with this giant island with hanging hills.

Led by Butler Wang, the group quickly crossed the dock and arrived at a restaurant on the island that specially accommodated foreign guests.

From what Zhang Yifeng saw along the way, this Hanging Hill Island was more like a sea city with a strong sense of fireworks than a place of inheritance.

The buildings on the island were no different from those in an ordinary city, and there were a large number of civilians and monks living there, hawking their wares along the streets.

Such sightings also made Zhang Yifeng frown slightly. He had no opinion about these people, but the scene here was far from what he had imagined.

The waiter who was in charge of welcoming guests at the restaurant entrance bowed hurriedly when he saw Zhang Yifeng and his companions arriving.

"Thank you for coming from afar, gentlemen. I wonder which family you are from?"

The waiter rubbed his hands, looked up at Zhang Yifeng and the others with hope in his eyes.

"I am Huang Tianhua from the Huang family. I am here to celebrate the birthday of the island owner."

Huang Tianhua bowed in reply.

"Huang family?"

When the waiter heard Huang Tianhua introduce himself, his eyes immediately changed and he looked at him strangely.

"So you are the distinguished guests of the Huang family. The island owner has prepared a room for you at Room 36 in the Herringbone Room."

The waiter finally curled his lips, changed his flattering attitude, and spoke casually.

"Thank you!"

Huang Tianhua was a rookie and had not yet realized what the waiter's change of expression meant, so he responded with a smile.

Then he led Zhang Yifeng and others into the restaurant.

"Senior, you probably don't have a place to rest on this island. If you don't mind, you can rest in this restaurant for a while."

Huang Tianhua walked in front and said with a smile.

Zhang Yifeng watched him washing excitedly, completely unaware of the reason for the waiter's change of expression, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Just as Zhang Yifeng and his men walked into the restaurant following Huang Tian's words, the waiter at the door spat to the side.

"Tsk, you're wasting my time, you poor bastards."

"Do you think that by bringing a few more people with you, you can make yourself look more impressive?"

The waiter muttered to himself, thinking no one could hear him.

But he didn't know that even Zhang Yifeng, who had already gone up to the second floor of the restaurant, could still hear his mumbling.

"Oh, this place is really interesting."

Zhang Yifeng chuckled, a dark light flashing in his eyes.

"Senior, what did you say?"

Huang Tianhua, who had just found a seat to sit down on the second floor, was stunned and asked.

"Nothing much, I just feel that this Hanging Hill Island is indeed extraordinary."

Zhang Yifeng replied casually, but he had other thoughts in his mind.

Huang Tianhua nodded as if he understood, but without thinking too much, he called the waiter to order food.

Soon, a table of delicious food was delivered to Zhang Yifeng and his companions.

The others also found a seat on the second floor.

The people at Zhang Yifeng's table mainly consisted of him, Huang Tianhua, Butler Wang, and Xuanyuan Li.

In addition, Su Zhirou and the others stayed on the flying boat.

It has to be said that the food and wine served to the foreign guests on Hanging Hill Island was indeed very rich, and one could sense a strong fairy-like aura.

Spiritual beasts and fairy wine must be used as a combination to entertain guests.

After three rounds of drinks, Butler Wang also explained to Zhang Yifeng many matters related to Xuanqiu Island.

For example, at the beginning, the Xuanqiu Island was indeed peaceful, but one day, the owner of Xuanqiu Island suddenly took the initiative to invite all the major families in Sihaizhou to come.

At that time, the owner of Xuanqiu Island said that he could help the major families open up trade routes on the sea.

All you have to pay is just one tenth of the profit from each business trip.

However, at first, all the major families were full of doubts about this unknown owner of Xuanqiu Island.

It was not until the first family that believed him successfully transported the goods to other cities by sea to complete the transaction that the major families believed what the owner of Hanging Hill Island said.

Since then, Hanging Hill Island has continued to develop to this day, no matter which family wants to join.

Even when common people came and wanted to live on the island, the owner of Xuanqiu Island never refused.

In the minds of many people, the Lord of Xuanqiu Island is the biggest contributor to the current peaceful scene in Sihaizhou.

Zhang Yifeng just smiled without commenting when he heard this. He has always been three-quarters sure about these rumors and seven-quarters skeptical.

Unless you see it with your own eyes, what others say is just a reference.

While several people were talking, Zhang Yifeng glanced and noticed a group of people in gorgeous clothes walking up to the bottom of the restaurant.

The leader was a young man with an arrogant look on his face, walking up to the second floor with his hands behind his back.

After arriving at the second floor, he scanned the area and locked onto the window on the second floor.

Zhang Yifeng looked up and saw that the captain of the Huang family's guard and several guards were sitting at the window.

Zhang Yifeng frowned slightly and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, the young man in fancy clothes quickly walked to the window, lowered his head and looked down at them coldly.

"Step aside."

A cold voice came out, and the young man in fancy clothes didn't even look at the captains of the Huang family's guards.

"What did you say, sir?"

The captain of the guard frowned and stood up, asking in a deep voice.

"Are you deaf, kid? This is where our Master sits every time he comes to Xuanqiu. It's not a place for bastards like you to sit."

The young man in fancy clothes didn't waste any more words with him, but the two people following him shouted loudly.

"Why are you humiliating us for no reason?"

The captain of the guard's pupils tightened suddenly, he stood up and shouted.

"Why? Because you are a bunch of trash!"

The two men beside the young man in fancy clothes looked down at the captain of the guard and shouted sternly.

Just when they were ready to take action, the young man in fancy clothes waved his hand, signaling them to be patient.

"Judging from your attire, you should be guards of the Huang Family Chamber of Commerce in Donghai City, right?"
