Han Sea City, Inner City, Quan Family.
"You're back so quickly, did something happen?"
Quan Yue asked, puzzled.
Su Ling'er told Quan Yue everything that had just happened.
Quan Yue fell into thought after listening.
"Things are developing in an unexpected direction. What should we do next?" Su Ling'er asked.
Quan Yue sighed softly, "I thought it was an internal struggle, but I didn't expect external forces to be involved. Ling Er, can you give me a detailed account of the stranger's information?"
Su Ling'er replied, "What's certain is that the other party is a five-ring Soul King, a Sea Soul Master who uses water-attribute Soul Power, and possesses a special Soul Skill that can change the scenery and isolate the inside from the outside.
"Oh right, that Su Li also called him Lord Xu, so his surname should be Xu."
Although that hidden Soul Master's Soul Skill was quite special, his strength was weaker than expected.
After thinking, Quan Yue replied, "We don't have enough information yet, so let's wait and see. The shipyard will definitely help us investigate."
...
A week later.
Quan Yue also sent people to investigate the outside world, but the attack on Director Sun did not cause much commotion.
It seemed to have been deliberately suppressed.
However, Quan Yue was not too anxious, nor did he conduct an in-depth investigation.
Because he knew that he would know the situation soon.
Sure enough, a week later, Sun Miao brought Jiang Jun to them.
Inside the Study.
"Thank you, Lord Quan and Lady Su, for saving my life. I've come specially today to express my gratitude."
Sun Miao, an old man in his eighties, bowed solemnly to Quan Yue to express his thanks.
Quan Yue quickly helped Sun Miao up and said gently, "It was just a small effort, and besides, we actually had our own selfish motives for helping you."
Seeing Quan Yue's frankness, Sun Miao's inner vigilance was greatly reduced.
After the three of them sat down, Sun Miao went straight to the point, "I've also brought some gifts this time, and I hope Lord Quan will accept them."
Quan Yue didn't want to accept them at first, but seeing Sun Miao's serious expression, he didn't refuse and accepted them readily.
"As the saying goes, 'When an elder bestows, one dares not decline.' Then I, Quan, will accept them."
Accepting this gift actually meant that the life-saving grace was offset, but Quan Yue didn't care.
Sun Miao took out a thick stack of papers from his arms and placed them in front of Quan Yue.
Quan Yue curiously picked them up and looked at the words on them, but after reading the first page, Quan Yue couldn't hide his excitement and stood up.
"This, this," Quan Yue hurriedly flipped through the following pages, incredulously saying, "This is too precious, we can't accept it all."
Quan Yue hurriedly pushed the papers in his hand back to Sun Miao.
But Sun Miao pushed them back to Quan Yue, saying affirmatively, "Compared to the grace of saving my life, these humble gifts are not worth mentioning."
"But, these are contract documents for dozens of sea ships, with a total value of hundreds of thousands of Gold Soul Coins. We are ashamed to accept them, ashamed to accept them."
Quan Yue didn't expect Sun Miao to be so generous, taking out dozens of sea ships and giving them away without batting an eye.
Sun Miao said magnanimously, "I've been building ships all my life, and I have some meager savings. I can still take out thirty sea ships.
"Moreover, these are my personal collection, and they are given to the Quan Family in my personal name. It has nothing to do with the shipyard, so Lord Quan can rest assured to accept them."
What was the concept of thirty sea ships?
A small sea ship could carry about thirty or forty people.
Thirty ships could carry more than a thousand people.
Moreover, Quan Yue had just flipped through them, and small sea ships only accounted for about half of them. The remaining half included one large sea ship, and the rest were medium-sized sea ships.
Medium-sized sea ships were already the mainstay of navigation, not only capable of carrying nearly a hundred people, but also capable of crossing the sea and sailing into the deep sea areas.
However, the value of numerous medium-sized and small sea ships is still less than that of a large sea ship.
A large sea ship capable of carrying a thousand people is already a true behemoth. If the Quan Family wanted to build one themselves, it would take several years just for research, and with the actual shipbuilding, it would be impossible to build one in less than a dozen years.
But now, Sun Miao actually directly equipped them with a set of sea ships. As long as the personnel are complete, they can directly pull up a fleet.
Sun Miao's generosity directly made up for the Quan Family's early embarrassment of lacking ships.
Faced with such a huge temptation, Quan Yue also took a few seconds to break free.
"Our Quan Family is new here, and we really need these sea ships, so we will accept them without ceremony."
After this incident, the atmosphere between Quan Yue and Sun Miao eased.
Sun Miao continued: "Besides the sea ships, in fact, I have one more thing I want to discuss with Lord Quan."
Quan Yue replied: "Is it about Su Li and that Sea Soul Master of unknown origin?"
Sun Miao shook his head and said, "We can put this matter aside for now. What I want to talk about is Jiang Jun."
"Jiang Jun!" Quan Yue looked at Jiang Jun in confusion.
Jiang Jun smiled and nodded at Quan Yue, then took Sun Miao's words and continued: "I once made an oath to Lord Quan before. Today, I am here to fulfill my oath.
If Lord Quan still has the intention to build a shipyard, I am willing to join the Quan Family and serve as the director of the Quan Family's shipyard."
Surprise after surprise.
The addition of a shipbuilder is even more surprising to Quan Yue than directly gifting ships.
With shipbuilders, they can be considered to have true independent research and development capabilities.
Shipbuilding technology is the foundation for their Quan Family to gain a foothold in Han Sea City.
Quan Yue hesitated for a moment, then asked Sun Miao: "Director Sun really doesn't mind handing over his beloved disciple to us? Will this have any impact on the Han Sea Shipyard?"
Sun Miao smiled and said, "I have already resigned from the position of director. What happens after that is no longer my business."
"What!"
Quan Yue was shocked and said, "Judging from your condition, it won't be long before you can return to normal.
After recovery, with your cultivation, you can lead for at least another ten years, why did you suddenly resign?"
Sun Miao's expression was slightly lonely and said: "It's not because of physical reasons. I just feel that I have been busy with work these years and have neglected many things, and after being busy for decades, it's time to rest."
Sun Miao had an important change in his heart after experiencing Su Li's betrayal.
Therefore, he directly handed over the position of director to another disciple.
As the saying goes, being free from worries makes one feel relaxed. After Sun Miao stepped down from his position, he focused his attention on more things that he had not noticed before.
"Although Jiang Jun is young, he has gained my true inheritance and will definitely not disappoint you."
Jiang Jun also looked at Quan Yue with a hopeful expression.
Seeing this situation, Quan Yue was overjoyed, stood up, stretched out his hand to Jiang Jun, and said, "On behalf of the Quan Family, I welcome Grandmaster Jiang to join us."
