Chapter 710 (2/2)
…
“Judging by his appearance, I guess so.”
“I don’t know whether to call it bad luck or good fortune, but every time he goes out, something untoward always happens.”
“But every time, he also manages to escape from danger; if he’s not saved by someone, he pays a price himself and runs back.”
…
“Really, don’t mention it…”
“I reckon, it’s all thanks to Fortune Island.
They say Fortune Island always looks after every one of us.”
“In other places, he probably would have been long gone.”
…
“Mhm, mhm…”
“Right, ever since I came to Fortune Island, I’ve felt a lot luckier.”
“He’s so unlucky, probably only under the protection of Fortune Island can he turn misfortune into safety so many times.”
“Seems like, from now on, we’ll have to keep our distance from him; don’t want his bad luck to rub off on us.”
…
…
Hearing this whispered conversation, Lin Jing couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Changyun Yuanlei, then said:
“It seems you’ve become quite well-known around here.”
Changyun Yuanlei helplessly said:
“No way around it, what they’re saying is the truth.”
“I can’t very well beat them up over it.”
Lin Jing nodded, commenting:
“Well, you’ve got a good attitude.”
At this point, Changyun Yuanlei couldn’t help but chuckle:
“Heh, heh…”
“If beating them up could transfer my bad luck to them, maybe I would’ve really done it.”
“It’s just too bad that it won’t work, and on Fortune Island, there are rules.
If you start a fight without good reason, you’ll be fined plenty of Spirit Stones.”
“I don’t have that many Spirit Stones to give away as fines now.”
“Besides, the management of Fortune Island is actually pretty good.
Living here is a lot more reassuring than on other islands.”
“I certainly don’t want to be expelled from Fortune Island because I caused trouble.”
Hearing Changyun Yuanlei say this, Lin Jing looked around.
In this market, whether it be the Cultivators who set up stalls or the passersby coming and going, everyone appeared peaceful.
It seems that the manager of Fortune Island is indeed capable…
Perhaps noticing Lin Jing’s confusion, Changyun Yuanlei then explained to him:
“Although I haven’t been to many islands, I can affirm that the manager of Fortune Island must be the best.”
“On Fortune Island, you really don’t have to worry about personal safety.”
“Before, I stayed on Seaheart Island for a while.
And in less than ten years, the hundreds of thousands of Superior Grade Spirit Stones I had were swindled away.”
At this point, Changyun Yuanlei couldn’t help but wail:
“Those were hundreds of thousands of Superior Grade Spirit Stones…”
Lin Jing frowned slightly, looking at Changyun Yuanlei:
“Isn’t Seaheart Island supposed to be strictly regulated?”
Changyun Yuanlei curled his lip and said:
“The regulations are indeed strict, but they target the lower-level Cultivators.”
“Seaheart’s two Honored Lords seem to manage the whole island, but they rarely show themselves; the management responsibilities are all delegated to several Cultivators in the Solidifying Body Realm.”
“If it wasn’t for the few Spirit Stones I had to save my life, I probably wouldn’t have made it to Fortune Island at all.”
“Compared to Seaheart Island, Fortune Island is simply paradise.”
Hearing Changyun Yuanlei speak like this, it seems Seaheart Island is not at all what Lin Jing imagined.
Lin Jing felt he might need to stay on Fortune Island for a while to find out more about Seaheart Island first.
…
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
Changyun Yuanlei had been recuperating these past two days, while Lin Jing had been making rounds in the market.
He also took the opportunity to inquire about Seaheart Island.
From what Lin Jing found out, it seems Seaheart Island really is problematic, just as Changyun Yuanlei described.
Until this day.
Lin Jing planned to visit the only Immortal City on Fortune Island, Fortune Immortal City.
And Changyun Yuanlei happened to have fully recovered.
So.
Changyun Yuanlei volunteered enthusiastically to join Lin Jing on his trip to Fortune Immortal City…
