Gu Yunzhen and Qin Yiheng escaped the pirates, but Meng Wen was not so lucky. His team plunged into the pirates' den. Fortunately, Ji Kong and Yu Wan were there, otherwise they would have been wiped out.

Although they didn't die, they were all injured to varying degrees.

They now all live in Yu Wan's villa.

"Thank you for saving me, Miss Yu." Meng Wen's injuries took two days to heal before he limped out of the room.

"I'm no longer some young lady; I'm just a stray dog ​​that's been driven out."

Yu Wan said with self-deprecation, then looked coldly at Meng Wen: "No need to thank me, it was Ji Kong who wanted to save you."

Meng Wen looked at Ji Kong and clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for saving me, Brother Ji."

Ji Kong said, "Brother Meng, there's no need to be so polite. Our patriarch and the Fourth Young Master are brothers, and he's also a friend of your wife."

Meng Wen met his gaze: "Brother Ji, there's something else I'd like to ask for your help with."

He gestured with his eyes that he wanted to speak privately.

Ji Kong looked at Yu Wan and found that she was looking at him, so he said directly, "I know you want to leave this island as soon as possible, but not for the time being. The pirates will not be setting sail for the time being."

Meng Wen was slightly surprised to see that he did not avoid Yu Wan, and asked, "Can we buy a boat and leave?"

Before Ji Kong could answer, Yu Wan suddenly asked, "Did Shangguan Wu send you out? What did she send you out for?"

Meng Wen was taken aback.

Ji Kong frowned and reminded her, "Miss Yu, this is their secret."

Yu Wan pouted and said, "I was just asking. If he doesn't want to talk about it, he doesn't have to. I won't force him."

Meng Wen remained silent.

Ji Kong said to him, "Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, go back to your room and rest first."

"Sorry to bother you."

After saying this, Meng Wen got up and limped towards the room.

In the living room, Ji Kong asked in a low voice, "Miss Yu, is it possible to buy a boat from your uncle?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wan glared at her and said coldly, "You helped them once, and now you want to help them twice?"

“If we’re friends, I’ll help as many times as I can,” Ji Kong replied.

Yu Wan was taken aback at first, then sneered: "Yes, even you know that, but what did Shangguan Wu do? I've already saved her people, eleven lives. I've already repaid what I owed her. Why should I help her twice more?"

Yu Wan thought about how she went to Shangguan Wu's house to ask for help, only to be rejected. Later, when she met Shangguan Wu's mother, she asked her again, but was still rejected.

Why is it that only Shangguan Wu is allowed to refuse her, but she is not allowed to refuse Shangguan Wu?

Yu Wan's eyes suddenly reddened, and she glared at Ji Kong.

However, Ji Kong did not argue with her. He had said a lot these days. It was not that the Fourth Young Mistress did not want to help her, but that she could not help her, because her mother, Fu Lin, had violated the laws of Hua Kingdom. Whoever helped her would be an accomplice and would also be sentenced.

So, the fact that the fourth young mistress didn't help is actually a form of help for her.

Otherwise, Yu Wan would also become an accomplice and go to jail.

But clearly, Yu Wan had already made up her mind and wouldn't listen to any advice. He knew she needed to vent her emotions, and the Fourth Young Mistress became her target.

Ji Kong couldn't change her mind, so there was no need for her to stay.

Moreover, the fact that the pirates are not at sea now clearly indicates that the Divine Envoy Organization is making unusual moves, and he needs to go back to help the family head.

"I'm leaving now. If Miss Yu is unwilling to help, I won't force her, and I never intended to coerce you."

"Are you leaving?"

Yu Wan jumped up, her eyes wide with astonishment.

At first, she didn't think he would stay by her side forever. She thought he would definitely go back to Ji Mingjing, but after so many days, he hadn't said he wanted to go back, so she assumed he would stay with her...

So he still wanted to leave?

Ji Kong calmly said only one sentence: "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."

Yu Wan's expression changed drastically!

Suddenly, she raised her hand, wanting to slap him, but at the last moment her hand stopped.

Yu Wan pointed towards the door and yelled at him, "Get out! All of you, get out!"

Ji Kong gave her a deep look: "Goodbye."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Yu Wan stared at his retreating figure, growing angrier the more she thought about it. Suddenly, she shouted, "I said you all have to get out! Not just you, but all of Shangguan Wu's people too, get out of here!"

Ji Kong turned around abruptly, looking at her as if he didn't recognize her.

Yu Wan felt a pang of pain in her heart, but she haughtily raised her chin and said, "What's wrong? If you don't have anywhere to stay when you go out, you can stay, but you can't eat and drink for free here!"

Ji Kong frowned. Meng Wen and the others were still injured, and they had neither money nor medicine. They probably wouldn't survive if they went out.

Just as Ji Kong was about to ask her to make an exception for a few days, Meng Wen, who had already heard Yu Wan's words, spoke first: "Thank you for these past few days, Miss Yu. Our brotherhood will repay you for what we owe you. We won't bother you any longer. Farewell."

After he finished speaking, he went to the other rooms and woke everyone up.

They helped each other leave.

Seeing this, Ji Kong became increasingly indifferent to Yu Wan, and left the villa with Meng Wen without saying another word.

Yu Wan stood in the empty, huge villa, stomping her feet in anger.

The next second, she hurriedly ran to the rooftop.

Standing on the rooftop, Yu Wan saw Ji Kong's figure gradually disappearing into the distance. He was supporting one person with each hand, walking very steadily, and never looking back.

Something slipped down her cheek without her noticing.

The liquid dripped to her lips, and Yu Wan tasted it with the tip of her tongue. It was a little hot and a little salty.

It was as if they only realized it at this moment.

Oh, so it was tears.

Yu Wan didn't look away until she could no longer see Ji Kong's back. She looked up at the sky.

Did she do something wrong?

Her last friend also left her.

But perhaps, he is more than just a friend.

But what difference does it make? They're all gone. His last look at her was filled with such disdain.

"Heh, what a fine saying, 'Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together'..."

Yu Wan was both crying and laughing.

Did he think she wanted this?

She said she would rescue her mother. Others might not care whether her mother lived or died, but how could she not care?

Yu Wan kept telling herself: I did nothing wrong, I did nothing wrong...

At the same time, Ji Kong and Meng Wen encountered another problem.

It's raining!

They don't even have a place to live.

If they don't find a place soon, their injuries might worsen and they'll need more time to recover, which would definitely delay the task the young lady assigned them.

Meng Wen and the others were extremely anxious.

Ji Kong was quite familiar with the area and found a house before everyone else got soaked.

"Let's take shelter from the rain at this place first. The owner isn't home." After saying that, he climbed over the wall and opened a small door from the inside to let everyone in.

Meng Wen was the last to enter: "Is this okay?"

Ji Kong shook his head: "The owner of this house has a good personality. I secretly helped him solve a problem. Even if we come without notice, he will at most be angry with me, but he won't kick us out."

Meng Wen breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him, "Brother Ji, I am deeply grateful. Please don't hesitate to ask if you ever need my help in the future."
