"I… well…"
Qiu Fanghui stammered, "The sea blockade is a rule. We shouldn't disturb your sect's activities."
He was worried that if they entered the blockaded area and encountered another patrol, they might not be able to bluff their way through.
"It's no problem. I'll personally escort you…"
The Right Protector had been about to say 'I'll personally escort you there,' but on second thought, that would mean lingering near Xiao Chen for several days.
So, he changed his tune. "I'll give you a Fu Bing Flag. As long as you fly this flag from the top of your mast, I guarantee you will have unrestricted passage."
With that said, Qiu Fanghui had no reason to refuse any longer.
So the Spirit Ship turned around and resumed its original course.
"Mr. Qiu, I really must get back to my patrol duties and can't leave. Take care!"
Before they departed, the Right Protector even waved goodbye, looking quite familiar with them.
