Chapter 487: Isn’t This Just Courting Death?

Didn’t Nangong Pushi go for revenge? How did she end up here? Is her revenge finished?

And what the heck are those two people chasing her? They actually want to board the ship with Nangong Pushi?

Besides the boatmen below the hull, how could he allow strange men onto his ship? Thus, as the two approached the large ship, Yu Xian snapped his fingers, and an invisible burst of Qi shot out like a sharp blade, hitting the two precisely.

With two muffled ‘thuds,’ the two men were knocked backward and fell into the sea, splashing a wave of water.

At this moment, Nangong Pushi had already landed in Yu Xian’s embrace.

“Husband!” Nangong Pushi looked at Yu Xian with burning eyes.

However, hearing the sound of them falling into the water, she remembered that two others were traveling with her—friends she had made along the way.

“Husband, they are the Beiliang Heir and his attendant.” Nangong Pushi turned to look at the two people splashing in the water.

“Hmm? Xu Fengnian? Is the one next to him Jian Jiu Huang?” Yu Xian hadn’t expected those two to be them.

Judging by Xu Fengnian’s appearance, he must have just entered the Jianghu and didn’t possess much Martial Arts skill; Jian Jiu Huang was protecting him. It was Jian Jiu Huang who, in a moment of desperation, had grabbed Xu Fengnian and rushed toward Yu Xian’s large ship along with Nangong Pushi.

However, even though they fell into the sea, they were very close to the shore since the ship had only just set sail and hadn’t gone far.

“Husband, they mean no harm; they just followed along to see things for themselves.” Since they had traveled together for a stretch, and those two had come with her, Nangong Pushi pleaded for them.

“They are so close to shore, they won’t die. Continue departing!” Yu Xian said with a smile, then ordered the crew to continue setting sail.

Seeing that they were truly not in danger, Nangong Pushi obediently stopped talking.

Xu Fengnian choked on a few mouthfuls of salty seawater, barely managing to stabilize himself while being supported by Jian Jiu Huang. He looked up at the giant ship gradually sailing away, his face a mixture of shock and suspicion.

Jian Jiu Huang stared solemnly at the conspicuous ‘Yu’ character flag on the sail. Having roamed the Jianghu for many years, he had never encountered such an unfathomable figure.

That burst of Qi earlier seemed casual but contained an indescribably subtle force. He didn’t even have time to react; it was far beyond what ordinary Martial Forest Masters could achieve.

Yu Xian paid them no mind, instead looking at Nangong Pushi in his arms. “Why did you chase after me?”

Nangong Pushi’s eyes held a trace of sly amusement: “I heard you were going out to sea, how could I dare not come?”

“Is your business concluded?” Yu Xian asked. Nangong Pushi had many enemies; were they all settled?

Nangong Pushi shook her head. “When I arrived in Liyang, I heard the allied forces were surrounding Xue Luo Manor. I lost all interest in revenge and rushed back. But who knew, by the time I returned to Xue Luo Manor, the place was already deserted. I later learned you were setting sail, so I rushed here without stopping.”

Between her and Yu Xian, there was more of a transaction, but when she heard Xue Luo Manor was surrounded by heavy troops, the heart that had only beaten for vengeance began to worry uncontrollably.

Riding wildly day and night, from Liyang to Xue Luo Manor, and then to the Eastern Coast, enduring wind and dew, the image of Yu Xian’s calm and indifferent demeanor repeatedly flashed in her mind. She feared that if she arrived even a step later, she would be separated from him by the heavens forever.

Finally catching up now, looking at his face so close at hand, all the hardship and worry transformed into the starlight in her eyes. Hidden beneath the sly smile was a sense of relief and reliance that even she hadn’t realized.

“Then, after the matter in Dongying is settled, I will go help you take revenge.” Yu Xian affectionately stroked Nangong Pushi’s face, which, though dusty from travel, showed no sign of diminished beauty.

Hearing this, a flicker of hesitation and gratitude crossed Nangong Pushi’s eyes. But she didn’t answer immediately; however, she finally nodded. “Okay, thank you, Husband!”

“You are my person now, why be polite with me?” Yu Xian dotingly tapped Nangong Pushi’s forehead. “You look travel-worn; go rest first.”

“Okay!” Nangong Pushi nodded, then followed the sound to look for The Women.

Yu Xian stood on the deck, watching the shore recede, his mind pondering the matter of Xu Fengnian and Jian Jiu Huang.

Now that Nangong Pushi was already his person, could she still not escape the original plot? Otherwise, why would they encounter Xu Fengnian?

The plot of’Snow’ seemed like it was just beginning! After returning from Dongying, he really needed to make a trip to Liyang. Setting aside helping Nangong Pushi get revenge, there were also many places there where he could check in. But those were matters for later.

His most important task right now was Dongying!

The scene of Xu Fengnian and Jian Jiu Huang falling into the water was naturally seen by Xiao Se and the others as well.

When Lei Wujie saw the two splashing in the water, he couldn’t help but find it amusing. “Who are those two guys? They actually tried to board my brother-in-law’s ship? Isn’t that purely courting death? I haven’t even been on that ship.”

“Master’s ship is full of female dependents. If we went up, it would only be to report the situation on the deck. Those two actually tried to force their way on… Guards, send a message back to keep an eye on those two, investigate their identities, and deal with them when we return,” Xiao Se said with a grim face.

He hadn’t expected someone to be so tactless. If they hadn’t already set sail, he would have definitely had those two strung up and whipped.

“Yes!” The adjutant immediately went to make arrangements.

“I think that person looks a bit like the Beiliang Heir,” Ji Xue suddenly said from the side.

Bai Xiao Hall’s previous intelligence focused mainly on North Li, but ever since Yu Xian appeared and attracted so many Masters from various nations, she, as the Hall Master, had increased intelligence gathering efforts in all countries. She had seen a portrait of the Beiliang Heir.

“Beiliang?” Xiao Se was slightly surprised.

Beiliang belonged to Liyang. Did Liyang dare to make other moves? But judging by the situation, only two people came, an old man and a young man—it didn’t look like they were here to cause trouble?

“Hall Master Ji, send a letter to Bai Xiao Hall and have them pay close attention to the movements in Liyang. I have a feeling they are still not entirely peaceful. Lingchen, send a letter to General Ye Xiaoying and have him pay closer attention as well,” Xiao Se said, frowning slightly, to Ji Xue and Xiao Lingchen.

“Yes!” Both responded and immediately turned to carry out the orders.

“Xiao Se, perhaps it’s not that serious.” Lei Wujie saw Xiao Se frowning and felt Xiao Se might be making a mountain out of a molehill.

“Better safe than sorry. We are currently heading to Dongying; there cannot be any mistakes in our rear base. Moreover, those people might still be targeting Master. As his Disciple, I naturally cannot expect Master to solve every issue; otherwise, I would be too useless as a Disciple,” Xiao Se said, looking toward Yu Xian’s large ship ahead.

“Oh…” Lei Wujie was still a bit confused but didn’t say anything more, only letting out an ‘oh.’

Wu Xin patted Lei Wujie’s shoulder from behind and said with a smile, “You should focus on practicing your Martial Arts and raising your cultivation level. You don’t need to worry about other things.”

He left unsaid the second part: You wouldn’t be able to handle worrying about them anyway.
