Listening to Huang Tianhua's explanation, Zhang Yifeng finally understood how important this maritime trade is to the Huang family today.
No wonder he was so excited. The hard work along the way was about to pay off.
Zhang Yifeng nodded slightly and raised his eyes to look at the scenery inside this giant island.
Even if it is just a dock, at least hundreds of ships have gathered at this moment.
Some of the ships, like the Huang family, were flying caravan flags.
The rest are some magnificently decorated boats, obviously sent by the most prestigious families in Sihai Continent.
It has to be said that Zhang Yifeng had not thought that this would be such a situation before arriving.
Whether it is the Hai Clan or the Lei Clan, as the guardian of the Imperial Treasury, they are very low-key.
And looking at the many ships 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 don’t understand why Immortal Emperor Taiwu chose this person to be the guardian of his heritage.
Zhang Yifeng shook his head slightly, but the expression on his face remained unchanged. He just led others to follow Huang Tianhua.
However, compared to Huang Tianhua, Butler Wang seemed to be more familiar with this giant island with a hanging hill.
Under the leadership of Butler Wang, everyone quickly crossed the pier and arrived in front of the restaurant on the island specially designed to accommodate foreign guests.
What Zhang Yifeng saw along the way was that the island on the hill looked more like a sea city with a pyrotechnic atmosphere than a place of inheritance.
The buildings on the island are no different from ordinary cities, and there are a large number of common people and monks living inside, selling goods along the street.
What he saw and heard made Zhang Yifeng frown slightly. He didn't have any objections to these people, but this place was really far from what he imagined.
The waiter who was in charge of welcoming guests at the door of the restaurant saw Zhang Yifeng and others arriving and hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Thank you for your hard work coming all the way, sir. I wonder whose distinguished guests you are?"
The waiter rubbed his hands and looked up at Zhang Yifeng and others with eyes full of hope.
"Your Majesty, Huang Tianhua of the Huang family, is here specifically to congratulate the island owner on his birthday."
Huang Tianhua cupped his hands and replied.
"Huang family?"
When Huang Tianhua announced his address, the waiter's eyes immediately changed and he looked at him strangely.
"It turns out that you are distinguished guests of the Huang family. The island owner has prepared a room for you at No. 36, Herringbone Room."
The waiter finally curled his lips, changed his flattering attitude, and said casually.
"Thank you!"
Huang Tianhua was new to the industry and had not 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 yet. If you don't mind, you might as well rest in this restaurant for a while."
Huang Tianhua walked in front and said with a smile.
Zhang Yifeng saw that he was so excited that he didn't notice the reason for the waiter's change of face at all, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Just after Zhang Yifeng and others walked into the restaurant following Huang Tian's words, the waiter at the door spat aside.
"Tsk, what a waste of my time, what a bunch of poor people."
"Do you think that if you bring more people with you, you can give yourself more glory?"
The waiter muttered, thinking that no one could hear him.
But he didn't know that even Zhang Yifeng, who was already on the second floor of the restaurant, could still hear the fragmentary thoughts in his mouth.
"Oh, this place is really interesting."
Zhang Yifeng chuckled lightly, a dark color flashed in his eyes.
"Senior, what did you say?"
Huang Tianhua, who had just found a seat on the second floor and sat down, asked in a daze.
"It's nothing, I just feel like this Xuanqiu Island is really unusual."
Zhang Yifeng replied casually, but he had something else in mind.
Huang Tianhua nodded in understanding, without thinking too much, and called the waiter to order.
Soon, a table of delicacies was delivered to the table of Zhang Yifeng and others.
Everyone else also found a seat on the second floor and sat down.
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.
I have to say that the wine and food served to entertain foreign guests on Xuanqiu Island are indeed very sumptuous, and you can feel a strong fairy spirit from them.
It must be paired with spiritual beasts and fairy wine to entertain guests.
After three rounds of drinking, Butler Wang also explained many matters related to Xuanqiu Island to Zhang Yifeng.
For example, Xuanqiu Island was indeed isolated from the world at first, but then one day, the owner of Xuanqiu Island suddenly took the initiative to invite all the major families in Sihai Continent to come.
At that time, the owner of Xuanqiu Island said that he could help the major families open trade routes on the sea.
What you have to pay is only one-tenth of the profit from doing business each time.
However, at first the major families were full of doubts about this unknown owner of Xuanqiu Island.
It wasn't until the first family that believed in him successfully transported the goods to other cities by sea to complete the transaction that the major families believed what the owner of Xuanqiu Island said.
Since then, Xuanqiu Island has continued to develop to this day, no matter which family wants to join.
Or maybe the people came and wanted to live on the island, but the owner of Xuanqiu Island never refused.
In the minds of many people, the owner of Xuanqiu Island is the biggest contributor to Sihaizhou's current peaceful scene.
Zhang Yifeng just smiled noncommittally when he heard this. He always believed in these rumors and doubted them.
Unless you see it with your own eyes, other people’s words are just reference after all.
While several people were talking, Zhang Yifeng took a glance and noticed a group of people in rich clothes walking up from the bottom of the restaurant.
The leader was a young man with arrogant features, walking up to the second floor with his hands behind his back.
After he arrived on the second floor, his eyes swept around and locked on the second floor window.
Zhang Yifeng raised his eyes and saw that sitting at the window was the Huang family's guard captain and several guards.
Suddenly Zhang Yifeng frowned slightly, already having a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, the young man in fine clothes quickly walked to the window, lowered his head and looked down at them with cold eyes.
"Get out of the way."
A cold voice blurted out, and the young man in fine clothes didn't even look at the Huang family's guard captains.
"What did your Excellency say?"
The guard captain frowned and stood up, asking in a deep voice.
"Are you deaf? This is where our young master sits every time he comes to Xuanqiu. This is no place for a bastard like you to sit."
The young man in fine clothes didn't talk nonsense to him anymore, but the two people following him shouted loudly.
"You guy, why are you humiliating us for no reason!"
The guard captain's eyes suddenly tightened, he stood up and shouted in a low voice.
"Why? Just because you are a bunch of trash!"
The two people beside the young man in fine clothes looked down at the guard captain and shouted sharply.
Just when they were ready to take action directly, they saw the young man in fine clothes waving his hand to signal them to calm down.
"Looking at your outfits, you should be the guards of the Huang Family Chamber of Commerce in Donghai City, right?"
