Chapter 1756 - 396: Bitter Is Bitter, Sweet Is Sweet
In an instant, a pair of ice-cold eyes shot straight at him, like frost descending a hundred miles during the coldest winter, making him feel as though he were in a world of ice and snow. His whole being suddenly snapped out of his daze, his foot slipped, and just as he was about to fall to the ground, that person’s figure suddenly moved.
Long legs kicked up a wooden stick from the ground, slanted and aimed at him, the stick blocked his waist, causing the young man’s body to tilt to the other side, where a segment of a long leg kicked horizontally to stop him from falling.
Across from him, Mingyue’s long eyebrows slightly raised, with a face as coldly aloof and noble as jade, in her eyes, besides endless darkness, there was only his reflection.
Swiftly retracting her leg, without support, he suddenly staggered backward, his back collided with the cabin board, and he managed to steady himself, taking a deep breath, he whispered: "Thank you."
The other person had already turned their back and left, a fleeting shadow passed through, and the next moment, they had already appeared on the deck ten zhang away.
She always seemed to love gazing blankly at the sea.
Thinking this, he slowly walked over, standing at a close distance beside her, silently gazing at the sea surface. When facing the vast ocean, the troubling things seemed to scatter with the sea breeze, a calm settled in his heart.
"Where are you going?" He finally couldn’t help asking.
As the words fell, he turned to look at the woman’s profile.
Mingyue faintly curved her lips, her expression was indistinguishable between joy and anger: "To the end of the sea."
"Is that so? The end of the sea is the South Pole, where there’s nothing but snow and ice, are you going on an adventure?"
"You talk too much," Mingyue coldly spoke.
Pressing his lips together, the young man’s eyelids slightly drooped, looking somewhat weak and pitiful.
"Are you a Hua person?" After a while, the young man plucked up the courage to ask again.
Mingyue gave a faint "Hmm."
The young man smiled from the heart, and that smile appeared so clean under the sunlight, "What a coincidence, I’m also a Hua person."
Mingyue didn’t respond to him any further.
The young man wasn’t discouraged either, and started speaking on his own: "When I was very young, I immigrated with my mother, but there, that’s where most of my memories are carried. Every night in my dreams... I dream of... those people; the greatest sorrow in life is not entrusting oneself to others, but dying in a foreign land. If I can still live, I must return...."
There was a deep attachment and nostalgia in the young man’s eyes, the smile on his lips was so clean.
Mingyue turned to glance at him, and for once, spoke: "You will return."
"Thank you." The young man curved his lips into a smile and softly said: "I’ve lived this long without friends, but there, there are my little buddies. It’s been so many years now, I wonder if they still remember me...." With a self-deprecating smile as he spoke, so many years have passed, everything has changed, who would still remember him?
The further south they sailed, the lower the temperature, especially at night, reaching sub-zero Celsius. An Yue wrapped himself in thick quilts yet his lips were purple with cold.
Unsure of what he was thinking, he suddenly opened the cabin door to take a look outside, only to see that tall figure standing motionless on the deck, skirts fluttering in the wild wind, like a towering mountain, steadfast and strong.
This person is made of iron or what? Not even afraid of the cold.
He shivered back inside the boat cabin, couldn’t go on, he was about to freeze.
"Ahead is the Marion Sea Area, where pirates often appear. Family Head, we must be careful," Helian Liusheng appeared behind him at some unknown time.
Mingyue coldly curled her lips, "Those not afraid to die, just come."
Although the Family Head possesses unparalleled skills, unmatched in the world, but those pirates are equipped with advanced weapons, how could the Family Head withstand them?
Lau Sheng couldn’t help but feel some worry in his heart.
However, the journey was smooth and uneventful, without even seeing the shadow of a pirate, the captain who had been worried finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Amitabha, thank Buddha for blessing us, fortunately there were no pirates this time, otherwise it would have been a disaster."
Yet Helian Liusheng did not relax his vigilance because of this.

"Miss Zhao, take a good rest, we’ll visit you again when we have time."
Yi Suchen and Yun Ya successively walked out of the ward, seeing Yi Peilan standing at the door of the ward, helplessly said: "You, what should I say about you, you’re already at the door of the ward, is it that hard to go in and apologize? Especially since you were in the wrong first."
"No, why should I apologize to her? I did nothing wrong." Yi Peilan held her head high, stubbornly said.
"Just a minor minister’s daughter dare bully me?" Yi Peilan muttered under her breath.
"Peilan, can’t you see the fierce flames under the splendid prosperity? If a person holds themselves too high, they can never see their own shortcomings, how is that different from a frog in a well? You should think about it, Yun Ya, let’s go." With those words, she flicked her sleeves and left.
