This was obvious. The reason why the four Seas escort agency had gone through so much trouble to pa.s.s this compet.i.tion was so that they could quickly pull apart the score difference.

Otherwise, if it was easy to get points, the other escort agencies would also get points easily. If the gap between the points was completely closed, all their ‘efforts’ would have been in vain. The four Seas escort agency would be the one who was really sick.

“I can’t say for the others, but brother Ling, since he said he has the confidence to deal with it, then he must have the confidence. He’s not the kind of person who likes to put on a brave front and pretend to be a hero.” Qi Wenhan shook his head.

“Aiya, why are you so stubborn? Ling Yi is not only our Savior, but also our most important ally. Even if he said he was confident, we can’t let him take the risk!” Qi Mingyuan was getting angry at his own son.

Lin Yi was talented and powerful, and he was the honorary Vice President of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. He also had a close relations.h.i.+p with the disciple of Donghai’s G.o.dly nun. With all these things added together, Lin Yi was definitely someone with unlimited potential in the future. Qi Mingyuan was able to lead the Qitian bodyguard agency to this day, and he naturally saw this clearly.

“Whatever brother Ling says, I’ll believe it. Dad, if you’re worried, you can go and convince him yourself. I don’t have the ability to do that.” Qi Wenhan said.

“I …” Qi Mingyuan was full of vulgarities, but he held it back because there were so many important people around him. He tapped Qi Wenhan’s head and paced back and forth anxiously. He was like an ant on a hot pan.

Qi Wenhan spread his hands and stood to the side like a dead pig that wasn’t afraid of boiling water. No matter how his father tried to persuade him, he wouldn’t give in. He knew that it was useless to give in. Once Lin Yi decided on something, no one could stop him. He would only be making things difficult for himself if he tried to persuade him.

After a long while, Qi Mingyuan was at his wit’s end and could only stare at Qi Wenhan. Qi Wenhan knew that he couldn’t persuade Lin Yi, so he couldn’t do anything about it.

As one of the five judges, Qi Mingyuan couldn’t leave the stage and leave the public’s sight unless there was a special situation. Otherwise, it would be seen as an underhanded operation. His relations.h.i.+p with Lin Yi was far from as close as his son, Qi Wenhan. There were many things that Qi Wenhan could say, but he couldn ‘t. Besides, even if he said it, it might not be of any use.

Qi Mingyuan had no choice but to report Ling Yi’s name, but he still pulled Qi Wenhan back to remind Lin Yi not to force himself into this compet.i.tion. If he realized that things were not going well, he should immediately turn back.

Returning midway would not give him any points. Although it was basically equivalent to forfeiting, it was not as serious as forfeiting before the match, and it would not make the South continent escort agency Alliance famous. He just had to pay the price of three hundred thousand spiritual jades.

Three hundred thousand spirit Jade wasn’t a small amount to any escort agency. If a normal escort dared to do this, they would definitely be beaten to death. However, if they could use three hundred thousand spirit Jade to exchange for Lin Yi’s safe return, neither Qi Mingyuan nor Qi Wenhan would feel that it was a loss at all. On the contrary, they would feel that they had made a huge profit.

Compared to the first round, the registration process for the second voyage was obviously much longer. Although they only needed one person, the list of partic.i.p.ants for each escort agency was like a difficult labor. It took a long time for them to hand in the list. It was only after an extra hour, under the urging of the staff, that the list of partic.i.p.ants for the thirty-two agencies was finally completed.

Under the organization of the staff of the conference, everyone collectively s.h.i.+fted their location and arrived at the moleng dock.

At this moment, the dock had long been cleared. The originally busy s.h.i.+ps had been blocked to the side. Only 32 sailboats were 20 meters apart from each other in a line on the dock. To ensure fairness, these 32 sailboats were the most common models in the various sea areas of the South continent. They were all new s.h.i.+ps of the same standard.

Under the gazes of Qi Wenhan and the rest of the people from Qitian escort agency, Lin Yi boarded sailboat five. The partic.i.p.ants from the other thirty-one escort agencies also boarded their respective sailboats according to their rankings in the last Grand meeting.

Lin Yi walked into the c.o.c.kpit and looked around. It was the same as the sailboat he used on the escort mission, so he didn’t have to worry about not knowing how to pilot it. At most, he wasn’t as familiar with it.

In the c.o.c.kpit, other than the compa.s.s, route map, and other necessary conventional items, there was only one thing that was added to this Convention. It was a small Jade plate array. The number marked on it was the same as the sailboat’s number, five.

He’d been on Sky Cla.s.s Island for over a year, from the North Island to the middle Island, and now to the South continent. He’d seen a lot, especially after making friends with Tian xingdao and Hong Zhong-he could guess a thing or two even if he hadn’t seen it.

The small Jade tablet with the number on it should be a mother-child formation. The one in front of him was a child formation, and the mother formation should be in the demon cold city. The numbers corresponded to each other.

If anything happened to sailboat No. 5, especially if the s.h.i.+p was destroyed and people were killed, the formation of the small Jade Plate No. 5 would be destroyed as well. The mother formation would receive the news immediately, and the people guarding the demon cold city would naturally know what had happened.

The high-pitched horn sounded, and the 32 sailboats of the moleng Pier set sail at the same time. They set off in the same direction and route.

“Nothing must happen!” Qi Wenhan looked at Lin Yi’s sailboat and prayed silently. Although he believed that Lin Yi wouldn’t do something he wasn’t confident in, he couldn’t help but be scared at this time. It was better to be safe than sorry. If something really happened to Lin Yi, then he would have to bear the blame.

Qi Wenhan was extremely nervous, but the people in charge of the other bodyguard agencies didn’t look worried at all. They had a completely indifferent att.i.tude because those who went into battle were all old, weak, sick, and disabled. Everyone knew that once they set off, they would basically not be able to come back, so they didn’t have much hope.

The only exception was the four Seas escort agency. They weren’t worried at all. Instead, they appeared to be very confident and determined to get the points in the second round. It was as if the points in the second round were already cooked ducks in their eyes that couldn’t escape even if they wanted to.

Not to mention the myriad of people waiting at the dock, after the thirty-two sailboats set off, because they were all new s.h.i.+ps of the same model, they still advanced side by side at the beginning of the regular sea route. Even if there was a slight gap, it was so small that it could be ignored. [A good event where meat pies fall from the sky.
