"Miss, let's be patient for now and get out of trouble first."

The two people protecting her whispered their suggestions.

But she slapped him twice, saying, "It's all your fault, you useless piece of trash."

At that moment, a signal arrow suddenly shot out from the painted boat ahead and exploded in the air.

The first young master in fine clothes to be pulled ashore was soaking wet. He stood at the bow of the boat, glaring fiercely at Yun Zhiyi.

"You just wait, none of you are leaving here today. If I don't skin you alive, I'm not a Mu!"

The girl immediately shouted, "Idiot, hurry up and get us up there!"

His harsh words were interrupted, and the elegantly dressed young man's expression froze.

However, he was clearly also wary of Luo Shuixian, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and wanted to send someone down to rescue her again.

But the young master stopped him, saying, "Wait, something strange is happening underwater."

The richly dressed young man brushed away his fan, saying, "Are you suggesting we leave them soaking in the water? Coward."

The boatman on Yun Zhiyi's side was in a panic.

"Miss, let's leave now. If the Mu family gang comes later, we won't be able to leave."

Fu Ziyu asked curiously, "Which family is the Mu Family Gang? Are they very powerful?"

The boatman immediately said, "The Mu family gang is the number one boat gang in Lufeng City. They have connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, and they are ruthless. Anyone who offends them ends up badly."

Fu Ziyu asked in confusion, "A ship guild?"

He turned to look at Uncle Yang, "What's his background?"

The little guy only had a little understanding of the imperial court, let alone the martial arts forces outside of it.

Uncle Yang frowned. "Some underworld forces that can't be brought to the table."

Fu Ziyu relaxed his brow. "Then there's nothing to worry about."

Yang Bo's brows did not relax at all. "These martial arts people are always crude and unreasonable. If they start fighting, they might hurt the young master."

His last words were clearly directed at Yun Zhiyi, "Miss Yun, perhaps we should leave first."

Yun Zhiyi looked at Fu Ziyu and asked, "Are you scared?"

Fu Ziyu immediately puffed out his chest, "I'm not afraid. What's there to be afraid of with some roughnecks?"

Yun Zhiyi chuckled and looked at Uncle Yang, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. In fact, if today's matter isn't resolved, there will be even more trouble later."

Meanwhile, people on another ship were also talking quietly about this.

Qiu Ling asked the burly man in a low voice, "Brother Zhou, do you recognize that woman?"

Zhou Hanshan glanced at Yun Zhiyi.

Seeing that she was talking to her brother and not paying attention to them, he leaned close to his ear and whispered something.

“I told you before that a woman single-handedly broke into the Tiger Head Gang and took over the gang in less than half a day. That was her.”

Qiu Ling was surprised and glanced at her again.

Zhou Hanshan quickly drew his attention back.

"Don't underestimate her, she's very perceptive. Back then, Yuan Shao and I were discovered even when we were hiding."

"It's the kind of expert whose martial arts style you're talking about that you can't figure out."

"That's right, you saw her make a move just now, did you see anything?"

"It's really strange that I can't see or feel any internal energy."

"Yes! That's the strange thing. We can't detect any internal energy when she attacks, yet she's incredibly powerful."

Yu Shaolian, who was standing nearby, saw the two whispering and wanted to overhear, but he was afraid of hearing some secret and being scolded.

After all, the martial arts world is chaotic, and if you accidentally get caught up in some conflict, it could lead to the massacre of your entire family.

The two were whispering to each other, unaware that their conversation had reached Yun Zhiyi's ears.

Her gaze shifted slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes.

It was really interesting, and quite a coincidence.

Because all the people she met today had some connection with King Qu.

What surprised her most was that Qu Wang Fu Yuchen had also been a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person who had been involved in the martial arts world).

No, I should say I'm still a member of the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world).

If it weren't for the information about him appearing on the character story card, I would never have guessed it.

The future emperor has surprisingly close ties with martial arts sects.

But what puzzled her even more was why a large group of martial arts practitioners had suddenly appeared.

Just by taking a boat trip on the lake, the probability and number of encounters are probably higher.

Especially since these people happen to have some connection with Fu Yuchen.

She couldn't help but glance at Fu Ziyu beside her. What a coincidence.

It feels like there's an invisible hand pushing things along, but what's its purpose?

She suddenly remembered the mission takers who had appeared beside Wen Wan.

Could the unpredictable changes be brewing in the martial arts world?

Is it the martial arts world versus the imperial court?

In general, according to the character story cards, these two groups of people are Fu Yuchen's friend and enemy.

The burly man who spoke was Zhou Hanshan, the closed-door disciple of the Grand Elder of the Overlord Blade Alliance, and a close friend of Fu Yuchen in the martial arts world.

The man with the jade fan is Qiu Ling, the chief disciple of Zhengyang Sect. In the secular world, he also has another identity: the twenty-first prince of Luo Yuan Kingdom, whose original name was Luo Yukun.

However, in his early years in Luo Yuan Kingdom, he was just an insignificant prince in the cold palace. After being enfeoffed as a king, he took his mother to his fiefdom and remained sickly and bedridden, rarely appearing in public.

No one expected that he would be the top disciple of the number one sect in the martial arts world, with superb martial arts skills.

According to the plot, he and Fu Yuchen will become close friends.

The two helped each other ascend to the throne.

However, the two countries will later become enemies for various reasons.

The character story cards have limited descriptions, so she can only know the general outline.

As for Yu Shaolian next to him, he is a member of the Yu family, the number one royal merchant family in the Great Dynasty. However, he is just an unfavored illegitimate son from a collateral branch who was exiled to Lufeng City to eat, drink, and have fun.

However, despite his seemingly carefree attitude, he is actually a business genius.

Fu Yuchen got to know the two of them because of Zhou Hanshan.

One became a friend, and the other became a capable subordinate.

He recognized Yu Shaolian's talent and helped him become the head of the Yu family, thus enriching the national treasury of the Great Dynasty.
