Song Yu said, "Coming from Moergawa, where are you headed?"
Ling Zhenfei replied, "I am going to Sydney."
Ling Zhenfei felt this person was not easy to deal with, as he radiated a sinister aura.
Song Yu asked, "What are you going to do in Sydney?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Moergawa is at war, so naturally, I'm heading to Sydney to lay low for a while. Who are you people, and why are you intercepting my ship? You've startled my crew with your cannon fire."
Song Yu chuckled and said, "Are you bothered by this?"
Ling Zhenfei quickly admitted defeat, saying, "No, not at all. I'm just curious."
Song Yu asked, "How many people are on your ship?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Four more, all working on the ship. The crew is paralyzed with fear from those cannon shots—they can't move."
