He dragged the fat man’s corpse into the Tai Yan Boat, and after simply clearing the bloodstains from the ground, Li Fan returned to the room as if nothing had happened.

“What nonsense.” Li Fan commented.

This fat man obviously hadn’t figured out the situation. Depending on his little cleverness, he found that Li Fan might have entered under a false name and rushed over to threaten him, probably trying to gain some benefits from Li

Fan.

But didn’t he consider, that while Li Fan had infiltrated the Liuli Island, hadn’t they, this group of people, also obtained their household registration by posing as disaster victims?

What’s the fundamental difference between him and Li Fan?

Once they got the Liuli Island household registration, they really regard themselves as natives.

But Li Fan saw it very clearly. The Immortal Teacher who had covered his face and came to meet him before, as well as Sun Zhang’s Tianbao Building, was very cautious, afraid to be known by others.

It’s apparent that their status as exiled mortals is not to be exposed.

Because of this, Li Fan casually killed the fat man who threatened him rashly.

He didn’t believe that Tianbao Building and the group of people would investigate this seriously.

What’s more, even if they investigate and find that the fat man had come to Li Fan before disappearing, but now even the body is gone. As long as Li Fan insisted that he has never seen him, they can’t do anything to him.

After all, if the matter was escalated, it would do no good for both parties.

If Li Fan hesitated and didn’t act, leaving the fat man alive might cause various troubles.

So Li Fan decisively chose to nip the possible threats in the bud.

Just as Li Fan predicted, a few days had passed and apart from Su Changyu coming to ask a question, the fat man’s inexplicable disappearance had not attracted anyone else’s attention.

This incident was just a minor episode in Li Fan’s island life and was soon left behind by him.

These days Li Fan was inquiring about various matters on the island while planning how to reasonably use the treasures in the Tai Yan boat.

Gradually, Li Fan had a rough understanding of the Liuli Island where he is now.

This sea area is called the Misthaven Ocean.

The Misthaven Ocean is vast and contains tens of thousands of islands of varying sizes.

Liuli Island is located to the south of the middle sea area of Misthaven Ocean and is of medium size.

Named after the deliciously meaty Liuli Fish, which is abundant in the surrounding seas.

Therefore, Liuli Island has a resident Immortal who collects a certain number of Liuli Beads every year.

The Immortal generally keeps out of worldly affairs and is difficult to meet. The daily affairs of Liuli Island are generally governed by the Liuli Government set up by the Island Lord.

The island’s residents can get a job at the Liuli Government. The more dangerous the job, the higher the remuneration. Among these, fishing for Liuli Fish is the most popular.

It’s not risky, and the pay is good.

More importantly, of the caught Liuli Fish, only seventy percent needs to be handed in, and thirty percent can be kept for personal sale.

So, this fishing job is really sought after.

Unfortunately, fishing requires a big boat and the Liuli Fish school is unpredictable. Hunting it requires a spirit guide specially made by the island.

The Soul Guide is only issued by the Liuli Government when you go out to sea and is taken back upon your return.

So private fishing is impossible. And if caught, the penalty is death.

So this matter of fishing for Liuli Fish can only proceed with the permission of the Liuli Government.

And those who can go out to sea to fish are the objects of envy for the residents of the island.

A ship that went out to sea a few days ago not only returned with a good catch of Liuli fish but also encountered a sunken ship.

This ship is said to be a family who were fleeing from a storm with more than a dozen boxes of gold and silver treasures!

Now, all these fortunes were claimed by the ship’s crew.

About the items salvaged from the sunken ship, the rules on the island are the same as for the Liuli Fish, thirty percent can be kept!

Therefore, when this ship’s crew returned to the port, half of the island was stirred up.

Even the island’s Chief Treasurer, Manager Qian, personally came to check it out.

Seeing the crew members with smiles on their faces, many people on the island were green with envy.

They began to pull connections privately, trying to secure a spot for the next voyage.

In Li Fan’s view, he can similarly launder the countless treasures on the Tai Yan Boat slowly, with smaller risks.

The only difficulty lies in how to gain the qualification to sail out to sea alone.

The existence of the Tai Yan Boat absolutely cannot be revealed.

There are too many people on the island who want to join the ship’s crew, after a casual inquiry, Li Fan learned the key point.

Under the Lord of Liuli Island, three close subordinates: Manager Zhao in charge of personnel, Manager Qian in charge of finance, and Manager Zhou in charge of security.

The majority of the quota for the ship’s crew lies in Manager Qian’s hands. Manager Zhao and Manager Zhou have always wanted to get involved, but they have always been firmly controlled by Manager Qian. They only manage one or two ships.

Where there are people, there are struggles.

Li Fan thought of Manager Zhao’s reaction when he saw him on the day of the household registration, and thought it might be possible to meet this Manager Zhao.

But Manager Zhao is not someone that Li Fan can meet at will.

Li Fan planned to go through Sun Zhang of Tianbao Building.

Finding out the exact location, Li Fan came to the entrance of Tianbao

Building, wanting to meet Sun Zhang.

But he was rejected.

“Go away, our Elder Sun is of high status, not someone you can meet if you wish. Go!” A few black-clothed men at the door looked at Li Fan with ill intention, seemingly ready to act at any disagreement.

Seeing the situation, Li Fan had no choice but to leave first.

He found it strange, Tianbao Building is a business after all, where is the rule of not seeing anyone and driving people away?

Moreover, these black-clothed men made the decisions without consulting, as if they knew who Li Fan was…

“They must have been instructed to deliberately avoid me.” Coming to a conclusion, Li Fan guessed that there must have been some change in the Diaspora group, causing Sun Zhang to directly turn against him.

After some inquiries, Li Fan learned what happened.

It turned out that in order to quickly dispel the miasma in his body, Su Changyu had chosen to become a test subject for the Immortals.

Before leaving, Su Changyu had signed his name on the remaining Contract Scroll.

From then on, the three contracts were completed, and the Contract Scroll was completely dissipated.

The connection between the Diaspora and Tianbao Building was completely severed.

“No wonder he suddenly turned against us and deliberately avoided us. But I didn’t expect Su Changyu to be so decisive.” Li Fan sighed.

“Hey, we all advised him not to rush. But he wouldn’t listen!” The one who said this was someone Li Fan recognized, it was Xiao Heng who had claimed to be the son of King Zhen Nan in the melting cave of Tianbao Building.

Xiao Heng seemed to have a great relationship with Su Changyu, and was extremely depressed at the moment: “If it wasn’t to save his sister who is stricken with a terminal illness, Su Brother wouldn’t have been so desperate.”

After hearing this, Li Fan was thoughtful..
