None of these people knew who Feng Guoguo was, nor would they inquire.

Because, they were not qualified.

But if Ye Guichen were here, he would definitely be shocked.

Big Saber Feng Guoguo.

Back in Qinghe, Ye Guichen had once crossed swords with Feng Guoguo.

As a Martial Arts Master from the Luo Family, one of the four major families in Qinghe, Feng Guoguo was an elite even in the vast Qinghe Prefecture.

However, he was still defeated by Ye Guichen in one move.

Feng Guoguo did not continue to pester Ye Guichen but swore to go into seclusion to train and come back to defeat Ye Guichen.

He has been gone for several months now.

Ye Guichen surely wouldn't have thought that in just a few months, Big Saber Feng Guoguo would become the Thirteenth Grand Protector, soon to earn the title revered by the world: Thirteen.

The sea was calm and tranquil.

The morning sun spread its golden rays across the sea surface, glittering like gold, as if the violent storm from last night had never happened.

This time, everyone had learned their lesson.

Eight ships in total, all following Gongsun Fengying's large ship at a moderate distance.

Even someone as proud as Lu Bu and Su Wu dared not act independently anymore.

Last night's storm had made them realize the terror of nature; if it happened again, they might not be so lucky.

Moreover, there was another reason: to find Atlantis, one ship alone wasn't enough; they needed enough oil.

However, only Ye Guichen had that oil, and Ye Guichen had moved all of it onto Gongsun Fengying's ship.

This frustrated them, but they had to negotiate various terms with Ye Guichen.

In just half a day, Ye Guichen had exchanged quite a bit of wealth and the heads of those angels from Atlantis.

This made Jiang Long and others grin from ear to ear.

Even Murong stopped quarreling with Ye Guichen.

After all, they had obtained ten angel heads even before they started the mission, ensuring that even if they couldn't kill Caesar, their results wouldn't be too bad.

"Hmph, look at that brat showing off, I could just punch him." Someone next to Lu Bu stared at Ye Guichen sitting on the big ship with his legs crossed, munching on snacks, seething with anger.

Lu Bu also clenched his fist but reassured, "Calm down, there's still time. It's only the second day out of seven; who knows who will come out on top."

Not only did Lu Bu's group dislike Ye Guichen, but even Su Wu's group felt like beating him up.

Because Ye Guichen was just too smug.

Ever since boarding the ship, Ye Guichen had laid out all sorts of food on the deck, chatting and eating with his teammates.

The feeling was entirely opposite to completing some mission or competing; it felt more like a vacation.

Even the girls Wang Ying and Murong snacked on sunflower seeds and laughed now and then.

Jiang Long followed Ye Guichen around, occasionally massaging his shoulders and back, flattering him intensely.

"Hehe, boss, look at how those people are glaring at us. You've stirred up a lot of hatred. It won't be good if they target us later."

Jiang Long and others naturally noticed the murderous looks and couldn't help but remind.

"Really?" Ye Guichen nonchalantly popped a sunflower seed into his mouth and glanced at Gongsun Fengying standing at the bow: "What's there to worry about? This vast sea is indeed boring, we're just finding some enjoyment. Since you call me captain, I won't let you suffer. Relax, in this competition, I can't promise to bring you Caesar's head, but I'll definitely get us into the top three. It's that simple."

A mysterious confidence lit up his face.

Gongsun Fengying abruptly turned around: "Ye Guichen, do you really think I don't dare to rob you? Let me tell you, we're on the vast sea; if you provoke everyone, you won't reach your destination before being stripped and thrown into the sea. Believe it or not?"

"How dare you!" Murong jumped up, spitting out a sunflower seed shell: "Gongsun Fengying, I know you're powerful, but this competition has rules. We can't fight each other. If you act recklessly, I'll make sure to report you when we get back!"

"Haha, Lady Murong, do you really think you're still on land?" Gongsun Fengying laughed, taking a few steps forward, eyes radiating killing intent: "On this vast sea, those rules become meaningless! This trial is indirectly teaching us how to handle real battlefields! On the battlefield, killing the enemy is all that matters, regardless of the method. Victory is the only goal. No one criticizes the winner's tactics."

She glanced meaningfully at Ye Guichen: "Of course, to deal with you, I don't need any despicable means!"

"You're threatening us!" Murong's face turned red with anger, ready to act, but Wang Ying held her back.

Seeing Murong's hesitation, Gongsun Fengying laughed wildly and scornfully commanded: "Holding food and oil doesn't give you the right to do as you please. On my ship, those supplies are mine."

"You, this is outright robbery!" Murong's eyes widened in anger. Though she had suspected Gongsun Fengying's intentions, hearing it spoken so blatantly still infuriated her.

Gongsun Fengying retorted: "Even if I am robbing, what can you do? If you disagree, believe it or not, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish!"

"You..." Murong was speechless with fury.

This Gongsun Fengying was too arrogant.

Completely trampling on the rules.

"Fetch the food; we're eating too!" Gongsun Fengying ignored Murong and the others' angry stares and directly ordered.

Though not eating or drinking wouldn't affect these Martial Arts Masters much, given the rigorous training they've endured.

Still, seeing a pile of food while Ye Guichen's group feasted energetically would make anyone restless, even if they weren't hungry.

The Vermilion Bird Tower members had long wanted to grab the food. With Gongsun Fengying's order, they rushed into the cabin, each carrying heaps of food back, gleefully flaunting it before Ye Guichen's group.

Jiang Long grabbed his brass hammer: "Gongsun Fengying, do you want to fight?"

"Heh, with you?" Gongsun Fengying sneered: "With one hand, I can make you crawl. Believe it or not?"

Jiang Long, humiliated, looked pleadingly at Ye Guichen: "Boss, are you just going to watch them rob us?"

Ye Guichen looked up, puzzled: "Jiang Long, what do you mean? We're all friends; there's no need to talk about robbing."

"Huh?" Jiang Long was stunned.

Ye Guichen didn't seem like someone who would be so soft.

Murong was also taken aback, quickly feeling disappointed: "Hmph, turns out he's a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong."
