"This ship went on an overseas expedition, and it seems to have obtained something. At sea, internal strife broke out among the people on board, leading to a fierce battle, resulting in the sinking of the entire ship."
"Mr. Song, you're probably aware of these kinds of things quite a bit, aren't you?" Zhang Yanjun seemed to be implying something else.
Song Xiaodong knew that Zhang Yanjun was referring to the conflict on the ship, clearly implying the struggle between Dragon Gate and the Dark Night Sect. Perhaps Dragon Gate didn't want the Emperor to obtain such a pill recipe, so they engaged in a fierce battle with the Dark Night Sect at sea, ultimately choosing mutual destruction, sinking the ship in the process.
"Were people from both our sides on the ship?" Song Xiaodong asked tentatively.
"Exactly." Zhang Yanjun was also pleased with Song Xiaodong's astuteness.
