"Okay, let's all return to their respective posts, be sure to learn to drive the star boat in the shortest possible time" Xiao Qi's eyes looked around, and no matter who he was, he saw a touch of determination in his eyes.

After a few days of getting along, these young men who were selected to cultivate were already able to guess from Xiao Qi's expression that something big must have happened. Otherwise, they won't be allowed to return to their respective boat posts.

Since that day, they have been selected from dozens of boat guards to be the objects of special training, and they have not moved back to the inner cabin. At this time, Xiao Qi's expression made their faces solemn, and they hurriedly changed into boat guard clothes and walked back towards the inner cabin.

Looking at these young and weak bodies that should still be snuggled under the wings of their parents, but they can't complete the arduous mission even if they have to bear the adulthood, Xiao Qi is definitely a little ashamed of them. However, this is the cruel reality, since the moment they left the Little Heaven Realm and crossed the cultivation realm, their fate has been sealed, they have no way back, because they can only die if they retreat.

Then the only way to survive is to keep arming yourself until you have the ability to change your fate. This is the profound understanding that Xiao Qi has come to after this period of time in the cultivation realm.

Xiao Qi is not much older than them, but he has to manage them as an elder. This shows that behind the majesty, who knows that it is full of sadness and bitterness. The problems encountered by each of them are summarized here in Xiao Qi, and they are enough to crush people's responsibility.

Maturity and growth, not only them, but also themselves!

Since Xiao Qi experienced the last battle of the Star Boat, his whole personality has also undergone subtle changes.

This change was not even noticed by himself, but such a change was clearly written in his eyes.

In those dark and bright starry eyes, in addition to the previous smart wisdom, there was a trace of indifference.

Especially when facing opponents and enemies, the coldness is heavier.

At this time, Yi San was standing opposite Xiao Qi, feeling uneasy in his heart, he was a person who was extremely sensitive to danger.

When he stared at Xiao Qi's dark and scary eyes, he already understood that the seemingly mediocre young man in front of him had changed.

He already has the momentum of a superior who is not angry and arrogant, and if this kid is given a period of time to sharpen himself, he will not be better than the old shipowner's management. However, Yi San and dozens of hired slaves couldn't wait, they desperately wanted more benefits and enough power to speak.

As the leader of these people, Yi San naturally wants to take their wishes as the main target.

Maybe.... Yi San sighed secretly, and he still didn't have the courage to say the words when they came to his lips.

"Yi San, are you entering the Demon War Zone now?" Yi San didn't take the initiative to be honest, and Xiao Qi wouldn't take the initiative to break this layer of window paper.

"Master Qiqi, now that the star boat has entered the demon war zone, according to the instructions of the star map, we still have seven days to arrive from the mining area" Yi San also returned to his previous heavy and calm at this time, and his words did not leak.

"Very good, seven days, as long as these days pass, we will make this transaction, and then I will make up the coins owed to everyone, and also add a bonus" Xiao Qi knows very well that Yi San knows everything about Xingzhou's financial expenditures, and he does not hide it, and he is open and honest.

"The master doesn't need to worry, the little one has already said hello to the hired slaves, and they all agreed to transfer the wages of this cycle to the next cycle, with this mining transportation route, they are not worried about the wages" Yi San said very plainly, but Xiao Qi still saw a trace of strangeness from his occasional flickering eyes.

Could it be that they really want to do it? Xiao Qi had actually received a secret report a few days ago, so that he knew what Yi San and the hired slaves were secretly planning to do.

The source of all this information turned out to be the apprentice who followed the old ghost, the little gray man. His whereabouts are secretive, and he can mix in the hired slaves, and Xiao Qiyi doesn't doubt it at all.

When Xiao Qi knew these things, he immediately made a layout, but because no one was available, he had no choice but to ask the old ghost for help.

After paying the price of another tribute corpse, the old ghost finally agreed to help Xiao Qi survive this crisis.

Xiao Qi stared at Yi San, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Yi San, are you familiar with the Demon War Zone?"

Hearing this, Yi San stared at the cascading clouds outside the window of the ship and said, "The little one has entered the Demon War Zone more than a dozen times, although it is not considered to be comprehensive, but it can be regarded as an old horse who knows the way."

Obviously, Yi San is still quite confident in his own boating business.

"Very good, then whether we can successfully bypass the immortal demon soldiers that are being carried out in the next seven days will be completely dependent on you" Xiao Qi heard this, with a hint of joy on his face, and reached out to pat Yi San on the shoulder.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, a child stretches out his hand to pat an adult, which is a bit nondescript, but Yi San has no sense of disobedience, but is ecstatic, excited that he can be appreciated by the little master.

For Yi San, his heart is also very conflicted, on the one hand, he wants to fight for the interests of the hired slave, but on the other hand, he has a good impression of the little master in front of him. With his decades of experience following his employer, although the little master in front of him is not very old, he is very shrewd and has a lot of good fortune, otherwise he would not replace the old shipowner by mistake.

Such a young master will become an excellent shipowner as long as he is given some time to grow.

Yi San thinks that he still has the ability to recognize people.

It's a pity that Xingzhou's financial situation is too bad, and a battle of Xingzhou a few days ago has consumed a lot of materials and finances, which has made Xingzhou's income and expenditure seriously unbalanced, and also indirectly stimulated the deepest resentment hidden in the hearts of those hired slaves.

The rebellion of hired slaves is imminent, and if this kid wants to survive this turmoil, I am afraid it will be difficult, and it can even be said that there is no possibility of survival.

This is also the reason why Yi San is so emotional.

"Yi San, what are you thinking" Xiao Qi saw that Yi San hadn't responded to him for a long time, and looked at him curiously.

"Little Lord, I'm fine.... It's just that I stayed up late with my brothers last night eating and drinking, and I was a little sleepy," Yi San hurriedly said in embarrassment.

Although it was far-fetched for a cultivator here, Xiao Qi did not delve into it.

"In that case, you can go back and rest" Xiao Qi waved his hand at Yi San, and then said: "Remember, Yi San, I have always believed in you."

Yi Sandu had already walked to the top of the stairs, and turned around sharply, staring at Xiao Qi's dark eyes.

For some reason, he was a little uneasy at this time, and he didn't even dare to look at him.

Yi San lowered his gaze in embarrassment, then bent down and saluted, and walked towards the cabin.

Looking at Yi San's distant back, Xiao Qi's eyes turned back, and a black shadow flashed beside him at this time.

The thin black face, which had been buried in the bilge all day, now looked a little white and oozing.

He is the old ghost apprentice, the main executor of the rebellion against hired slaves this time.

The old ghost has already handed over all the ghost soldiers to him to command, but Xiao Qi doesn't want him to dominate the situation, that will only be full of corpses and rivers of blood.
