However, Zhou Jin still smiled jokingly.

"Old man Hai has committed many sins. The Zhou family wants to replace the Hai family and completely control Sheqiu Island." Zhou Jin then extended an olive branch: "If the princess is willing to lend a helping hand to the Zhou family, after the success, the Zhou family will be the princess's right-hand man."

Zhou Jin was frank and honest, and seemed to be full of sincerity.

However, Po was more suspicious.

Before this moment today, she knew nothing about Zhou Jin.

But in that year, the Zhou family committed the ugly act of rebelling against the Daqi Navy.

Who knew that Zhou Jin didn't dig a hole?

It is not in her style to rashly agree to join forces.

Suddenly, under the tea table, her hand was held by Xuanyuan Fengran again.

The black-robed uncle spoke in a low voice with a calm expression as he made the final decision.

"Of course it's good to join forces with the alliance."

"But empty words are useless, where is the sincerity?"

As he spoke, Xuanyuan Fengran stared at Zhou Jin, who was across the tea table, with his dark eyes deep.

Zhou Jin smiled wickedly, his thin lips sharp, "What kind of sincerity does King Feng Ran want?"

"The dock array diagram of Sheqiu Island." Xuanyuan Fengran hit the vital point directly.

Zhou Jin's carefree smile froze at the corner of his lips.

At the same time, several pairs of eyes in the dark of the ship were staring at the tea room on the fifth floor.

Zhou Jin's appearance set off an undercurrent in the ship.

Until the night was about to pass, the dawn was about to come, and the storm stopped.

Several pairs of eyes in the dark witnessed A Bao sending Zhou Jin away.

It's a new day. The sky is clear after the rain, the dark clouds have dispersed, the moonlight is hazy like a veil, and on the boundless silver sea floats a rainbow bridge connecting the sea and the sky, sparkling with golden light.

Before leaving, Zhou Jin suddenly reached out and snapped his fingers behind Abao's neck.

Suddenly, in front of Po, there was a bracelet hanging between the fingers of the young man.

It was a bone bead carefully polished from fish bones, engraved with complex and incomprehensible patterns. At first glance, it reminded A Bao of the spells in the ancient books of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Zhou Jin smiled softly, "My princess, this is a gift for our first meeting."

Abao has seen magic tricks from the Western Regions.

But Zhou Jin's move made her extremely embarrassed.

Overtly and covertly, several eyes fell on Abao.

A Bao took a half step back solemnly and refused with a smile: "No merit, no reward."

The speaker is intentional and the listener is intentional.

As Abao expected, rumors then arose.

The princess rejected Zhou Jin's deal.

However, at this time, the railing of the third floor deck of the ship.

From beginning to end, Pei Guichen watched silently, staring at Zhou Jin coldly.

Beside him, Xiao Yunzheng tightly grasped the handle of the wheelchair.

Pei Guichen said casually: "Things are getting more and more lively around Abao."

"King Feng Ran once said that the more people like her, the better." Xiao Yunzheng's eyes dimmed slightly, and he pretended to be nonchalant: "I think it makes sense."

Pei Guichen sneered coldly: "You are so magnanimous."

Xiao Yunzheng's mind became more and more gloomy, and he asked back: "Is she not worthy of love?"

"She's worth it." Pei Guichen stared at the rouge-colored girl on the deck thoughtfully. "But, Zhou Jin doesn't deserve to like her."

In his previous life, he had spent his entire life proving that she deserved the best love.

As if aware of something, A Bao raised his eyes and met Pei Guichen's eyes.

Under the silvery moonlight, the two stared at each other in silence.

The young man in white robe still had that cool and elegant appearance, gentle and harmless.

The wet sea breeze blew through her messy hair. A Bao sneered in her heart, silently withdrew her gaze, and looked at Zhou Jin, who had made up his mind and wanted to give her the bone bead bracelet.

"Since the age of sixteen, every year, the Zhou family members go out to sea alone, catch a golden mackerel, pry off its sharpest tooth bone, and grind it into a bone bead necklace." Zhou Jin smiled and said, "The bone bead bracelet is given to the most important person."

The most important person?

Ahahaha…not really, that’s not necessary.

A Bao stared at Zhou Jin awkwardly, as they had clearly agreed on a deal just now.

Why, are you pretending to do this again?

She was about to refuse, but the black-robed uncle behind her had a face darker than his robe.

“Since the bone chain is so important, as Abao’s uncle, I will keep it for her.” As he said that, the black-robed uncle accepted Zhou Jin’s bone bead necklace.

Seeing this, Zhou Jin almost couldn’t hold back his wicked smile.

Xuanyuan Fengran's face turned black: "I would like to thank you on behalf of Abao."

"...Ha." Zhou Jin tried his best to maintain a smile: "My pleasure."

The scene was suddenly extremely harmonious and warm.

Ah Bao, however, had goosebumps all over his body and silently tugged at the sleeve of his uncle's robe.

Otherwise, the emperor's uncle would make Mr. Jin angry and bring disaster to his life.

But Zhou Jin pursed his lips and smiled evilly, yet provocatively.

"In the final battle between July 15th and Hai Xi, I am looking forward to seeing whether King Feng Ran will lose miserably or win beautifully."

"Welcome to watch." Although his face was gloomy, Xuanyuan Fengran did not forget to be polite.

A Bao took advantage of the opportunity and made a gesture of invitation to the pirate ship behind Zhou Jin, "Master Jin, on July 15th, you are welcome to watch my uncle win beautifully."

Zhou Jin grinded his teeth and smiled, "See you on Ghost Festival."
