Youth Song: Leijiabao Thunder Emperor

The next morning, the group arrived at the ferry and soon found the location where the waiter had mentioned the Mu family was recruiting.

Lei Dong glanced at everyone and smiled.

"Since none of us want to reveal our identities, it's inevitable that people will be suspicious of us if so many of us board the ship together."

Let's pretend we don't know each other for now. How we board the ship is up to us. By the time we realize we know each other after the ship has set sail, it will be too late.

"Okay, okay."

Lei Wujie immediately nodded upon hearing this. The thought of getting rid of these sycophants and acting alone sounded exciting.

"Who's afraid of who?"

Sikong Qianluo also turned her head. Clearly, she too had a competitive spirit.

"What should I do then? Do I have to apply for a job on the ship myself?"

Hua Jin immediately panicked at the thought of being tested on her fishing skills; she was still just a child.

"You and Ruoyi come with me. Nine people are too conspicuous, but three people will be fine."

The others nodded in agreement.

They were quickly divided into groups. Tang Lian, Lei Wujie, and Wuxin formed one team.

Xie Xuan, Sikong Qianluo, and Xiao Se formed a team.

After dividing into teams, the group immediately squeezed into the crowd. Only then did they realize that they were recruiting snake catchers.

"This is a golden thread snake."

Tang Lian, as expected of a member of the Tang Clan, possessed extensive knowledge of poisonous creatures. She immediately recognized the snake that the Mu family needed to capture for their test. She then began to explain the snake to everyone.

"The Golden Thread Snake is an extremely venomous snake, but its venom, if extracted, can cure all snake venoms in the world, making it very valuable in Beili. A small cup of its venom can sell for nearly a hundred taels of silver."

"It's so valuable, and it can even detoxify."

Upon hearing that the snake was so precious, Lei Wujie's eyes immediately lit up.

"Take it easy. You're a disciple of Lei Family Fortress, after all. Don't act like you've never seen the world before."

Be careful, your senior might clean house.

Xiao Se patted Lei Wujie, his face full of speechlessness.

Lei Wujie turned around and saw Lei Dong whispering with Hua Jin, not even glancing in his direction. Relieved, he then got excited and leaped onto the platform to play with the snake.

Despite his swift and powerful maneuvers, and despite possessing peak Earth Realm cultivation, he managed to let a few small snakes escape. In the end, Tang Lian ended the battle with a few steel needles.

Lei Dong was so angry he almost went over and kicked him.

Seeing Lei Dong's gaze, Lei Wujie became obedient this time.

However, the martial arts skills displayed by the two were enough to attract the attention of the Mu family.

Sure enough, the three were about to ask about the test results.

"Young heroes, please wait. My young master invites you in."

The three of them agreed.

Seeing that the steward was about to leave, Sikong Qianluo became anxious and quickly called them back.

"Wait a minute, we're here too. What they can do, I can do as well."

The butler was also startled when he saw the gun in Sikong Qianluo's hand.

Although he didn't recognize the Silver Moon Spear, he had seen many treasures and could tell at a glance that this spear was no ordinary item.

Upon seeing the three men dressed in royal attire, they immediately became polite.

"The three of you must be well-off; you should definitely apply for the snake-catching job."

"Of course, if they can do it, so can I."

As Sikong Qianluo spoke, she lightly swung her spear, the force of the spear tip causing the robes of those around her to rustle. Seeing this level of skill, the steward was about to agree.

But seeing that the three men didn't seem to be short of money, he worried that they might have ulterior motives.

Seeing that the old man was still hesitant, Xie Xuan immediately spoke up.

"Brother, don't overthink it. I brought them out to broaden their horizons."

I was just about to show them the vastness of the sea, and what a coincidence, I heard you're going to Three Snake Island.

I really want to see the end of this sea.

Don't worry, brother. You show them the vastness of the ocean, and we'll do our utmost to catch the snakes.

Xie Xuan is indeed eloquent; a few words dispelled most of the steward's doubts.

"Then the three of you will come with me to meet our young master."

The decision regarding the ship's affairs rests with him.

"Wait, wait. Can we take them with us?"

"You must also go out to sea."

Upon seeing Lei Dong with a sickly-looking girl, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old housekeeper immediately frowned.

"My sister is seriously ill and needs to go to the deep sea to find a medicinal ingredient."

I've heard your goal is Three Snake Island. Please do me a favor, sir.

I also know some martial arts. Catching snakes is no problem.

My senior sister also knows medicine; she can be of help.

Lei Dong spoke with such deep emotion that he was almost in tears.

Unfortunately, their acting skills were lacking. Even though they were telling the truth, Xiao Se and the others found it all too fake and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The butler's lips twitched as he watched. If Ye Ruoyi hadn't genuinely seemed to be faking it, he would have cursed her out.

Seeing the stunned expressions on everyone's faces, he also showed a rare hint of embarrassment.

He's practiced showing off a lot, but he's never really learned how to act cowardly.

"Get out of the way."

Seeing how useless Lei Dong was, Hua Jin pulled him over directly.

"I am Hua Jin, a disciple of Medicine King Valley. I am going out to sea to collect herbs."

I can ask him to pay for it, or I can help you get some snake-catching medicine.

Please inform your young master.

The steward's expression changed upon hearing Hua Jin identify himself as a disciple of Medicine King Valley. He sized Hua Jin up and down, then glanced at Lei Dong and Ye Ruoyi, looking somewhat troubled.

Medicine King Valley is renowned throughout the martial arts world for its superb medical skills; everyone has to give it face.

However, Hua Jin was too young, and given Lei Dong's previous remarks, he couldn't help but doubt the truthfulness of Hua Jin's words.

However, since Hua Jindu has said this, it wouldn't be good to ignore him regardless of whether it's true or not.

Then, thinking that Mu Chunfeng was a skilled doctor and should be able to distinguish between the real and the fake, he spoke up.

"Since you are from Medicine King Valley, then come with me to see the young master. He has always held Medicine King Valley in high esteem and will be very happy to know that the disciples of Medicine King Valley are boarding the ship."

Hua Jin smiled immediately upon hearing the butler's words.

He then glanced smugly at Lei Dong, and walked ahead with the butler, head held high and chest puffed out.

Lei Dong could only show a helpless expression.

Xiao Se and the others followed behind, amused. They were truly impressed by Lei Dong's ability to always pull off something different.

Who would have thought that Lei Dong, who had outmaneuvered the Dark River, would fall into the hands of the old steward? This is quite interesting.

After being ferried across a small boat, the group finally boarded the Mu family's cedar-lined longboat.

The butler led everyone into the cabin, where they saw a young man in a blue robe with a lively demeanor sitting at a table, flipping through a book.

As for why he's described as eccentric, it's because if you look closely, you'll notice that this kid's eyes are constantly glancing at the crowd.

It was clearly just an act. The others chuckled to themselves.

Without a doubt, it must be Mu Chunfeng, the young master of the Mu family.

After the butler stepped forward to announce the purpose of everyone's visit, Mu Chunfeng put down the book in her hand, stood up, and smiled at everyone. Finally, her gaze settled on Hua Jin.

"You are Hua Jin, a disciple of Medicine King Valley."

"That's right. What's wrong?"

"How do you prove it?"

Mu Chunfeng tilted his head back and asked somewhat arrogantly.

Believe it or not.

Hua Jin dares to argue with even a sword immortal, so why should we tolerate her? Besides, they're already on the ship, so why would we kick her off?

If he dares to drive me away, then I'll have Lei Dong smash his wrecked boat.

Just as Hua Jin was secretly plotting her revenge, Mu Chunfeng's action completely stunned her.

Mu Chunfeng suddenly bent his knees and knelt down, kowtowing to Hua Jin while shouting.

"Master, please accept my three bows."
