"Then let me wait here.

"If anyone lands on the island, regardless of whether they look like a fisherman or a common farmer, as long as they have an unfamiliar face, go and ask them.

"Maybe there's a chance to make a little money."

Xiao Ning laughed with a "hehe" at this point:

"If luck is good, and these important people notice me, I might get onboard as a servant.

"Maybe in the second half of my life, I can leave this damn island and really make something of myself."

When Su Mo heard this, he nodded:

"I see... Hey, little brother, since you know many people are coming to the island, it shows that the one they're interested in might not just be your little brother alone.

"Are there others who've caught their interest?"

"Brother, you have sharp eyes."

Xiao Ning nodded: "Gupiao Island is so small, the young brothers and servants mostly know each other. Even if they don't know each other, they recognize familiar faces. Although some people are tight-lipped and don't want others to know their secrets, upon closer inspection, trying to hide from others is naturally unlikely.

"From what I see, at least five or six young brothers here have already been picked by those guests who've landed on the island.

"They go back and forth on the island, mysteriously moving around, using this as an opportunity to make a fortune."

Just as expected.

Su Mo smiled and said, "Then do you know where these people are staying?"

"This..."

Xiao Ning felt something was wrong when he heard this and looked up at Su Mo:

"Brother, tell me the truth, why are you asking so much?

"Don't tell me you have a grudge against these guests?"

"Nonsense."

Su Mo chuckled: "Even if, hypothetically, I did have a grudge against someone, how could all of them be my enemies here at Nanhai? As soon as someone lands, they're my enemy, wouldn't that be absurd?"

"That's true..."

Xiao Ning nodded: "These people don't stay at the inn. Some stay with fishermen, others in deserted temples. Aunt Wang Er across from my house, just a couple of days ago, mysteriously said her Third Uncle came by.

"In their family generation, how could there be any relatives left?

"To tell such a blatant lie, it's like treating people like fools.

"That so-called Third Uncle looks younger than her by a dozen years, a dirty old man, always gnawing on an oily chicken leg, which does look quite appetizing."

At this point, Xiao Ning subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Su Mo smiled and said:

"When you finish this trade, you can buy one to satisfy your craving."

"No way."

Xiao Ning shook his head like a rattle-drum:

"I have to save up for my sister's dowry."

"Oh? Is your sister already of marrying age?"

"Not yet..."

When he got to this point, Xiao Ning gave Su Mo a wary glance, but after some thought, he realized it couldn't be, and said with a smile:

"My sister is still young, far from marriageable age.

"But isn't it better to be prepared?"

"What about your parents?"

"They went out to sea to fish. When Dragon King got angry, they were swallowed by the ocean.

"The people in the town say it's their fate; now they're in the Dragon Palace, eating and drinking well, serving the Dragon King, which is a blessing from several lifetimes."

At this point, he couldn't help but grin: "They don't even know how to comfort people, it's somewhat ridiculous."

Su Mo was momentarily speechless, gently patting Xiao Ning on the shoulder:

"Let's go, don't keep the esteemed guests waiting."

"Yes, yes, let's go."

Xiao Ning nodded immediately, speaking as he walked:

"Brother, you seem to get along well with them; they've been waiting so long and are willing to wait even more.

"Could you help me out and ask if they need more people on the boat?

"I don't have much else, just a lot of strength, not afraid of any dirty or tiring work."

"We'll talk about it later."

Su Mo, deep in thought, glanced at Xiao Ning and said with a smile:

"Show them what you've got, and maybe I'll speak up for you later."

"Really!?"

Xiao Ning looked at Su Mo in surprise:

"Brother, if this works out, I won't even take this commission fee, it'll all be for you."

"Then it's a deal."

Su Mo smiled ambiguously, while Xiao Ning nodded vigorously.

As they spoke, the two returned to the group.

Yang Xiaoyun looked at Su Mo, and Su Mo nodded lightly to her.

Before coming here, Su Mo had actually discussed with the group on the boat.

It was clear that the issue of the Poison Dragon Pill Scripture involved not just the Bohai Association, and there was more than one book.

But regardless of who got their hands on it, it's kept secret.

Some who deciphered the secrets within the Pill Scripture would likely come to this Gupiao Island.

It's bound to be right to be well-prepared at that time.

Can't be completely in the dark, knowing nothing...

He initially thought, upon landing, they would quietly gather some intel.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Ning delivered the information right to their doorstep.

His sudden appearance already tipped Su Mo off.

So young, without martial prowess, and his ability to judge people was mediocre. Su Mo hadn't hidden his identity, yet Xiao Ning thought the Master was Fu Han Yuan.

In this line of work, naturally, one should know to observe signs of intent.

Being eloquent ranks lower when it comes to seeing things clearly.

This shows he's like a maiden on her first sedan ride.
