No one expected that Mr. Zhong would be so determined for an unrelated person.
This also made the young people who were causing trouble feel helpless and at a loss as to what to do.
As one person in the crowd turned his gaze to Pan Mo, more and more people looked at him.
"Didn't you say that for the greater good, Mr. Zhong would definitely agree to our request? Why did things develop into this?"
"Yes, seeing how furious Mr. Zhong was, I really offended him. It will be impossible for me to invite him to go to sea again in the future."
"It's all your fault for coming up with such a bad idea. Even though that man was a bit eccentric, he didn't really hurt us. On the contrary, he saved the ship from the monster's claws. Morally and logically, we shouldn't have done that!"
Listening to the young people's scolding and shirking of responsibility, blaming all the mistakes on themselves, Pan Mo sneered inwardly: "Ugly human nature."
He knew in his heart that this group of people without ambition could not be relied upon, and that even if he continued to pressure them with the righteousness of the cause, Mr. Zhong would not compromise.
Now, I can only wait until I return to Jinlin City and find another way.
I can't really stay on this sea forever.
Not to mention that the temperature at sea will drop sharply. If we encounter a monster as powerful as the last time, without the help of immortals, we will be dead.
"Hmph!" Pan Mo snorted coldly, no longer paying attention to the crowd, nor caring about their reproaches and insults, he turned his head and walked away.
Pan Mo also understood that these people were blaming him now because their lives were threatened, but when they returned to Jinlin City, they would still think about driving Xue Kong away.
There is no need for me to keep pressing on this ship.
"It's clearly your fault, yet you're still not convinced. If you have the guts, go apologize to Mr. Zhong."
After Pan Mo walked away, a young man muttered something in a low voice.
The voice was not loud, as if he was afraid that the other party might hear it.
In the cabin.
Xue Kong, who was shivering with cold, was held in Ruyi's arms. Without paying any attention to the difference between men and women, she covered Xue Kong with a thick quilt and used her body temperature to make Xue Kong feel warm quickly.
Mr. Zhong, who was following closely behind, was originally furious, but when he saw this scene, most of the anger in his heart disappeared immediately.
He suddenly stopped being anxious.
Although he still had an ugly face, he was happy inside.
He walked forward, poured a cup of hot tea, and handed it to Ruyi: "Girl, give him a cup of tea to warm his body. He just caught a cold for a while. He will be fine after a rest."
"Dad, don't you find it strange?" Ruyi put Xue Kong down and suddenly asked.
Mr. Zhong was stunned.
Looking at Xue Kong's face with furrowed brows and lips purple from the cold, after a long moment, he nodded: "He is indeed strange. When he was still in Jinlin City, he was wearing thin clothes, but he was not afraid of the cold at all."
"I was wearing several layers of thick cotton-padded jacket, but I was frozen unconscious in a moment."
"If I hadn't found any injuries on him, I would have suspected that he had been injured by a monster and had some influence on his body."
Ruyi pondered, "I prefer to believe that it was a certain power that had been protecting him that disappeared in an instant. The sudden change caused him to fall into a coma."
"This kind of power is definitely not something that exists in the mortal world. I doubt it..."
Mr. Zhong's expression changed slightly: "Do you think... he is related to the immortal family?"
"That's the only possibility," Ruyi said truthfully. "His origins are mysterious, and you rescued him from the sea. Even though he claimed to have recovered his memory, he never told us about his past. Perhaps he's hiding something."
"But he's willing to stay. For the sake of everyone in Golden Scale City, we can't let him harbor resentment. Otherwise, if the immortals blame us, no one can bear the consequences."
After hearing this, Mr. Zhong nodded secretly and realized that this was the case.
Seeing Ruyi feeding Xue Kong some hot tea, Xue Kong's complexion looked a little better. When Mr. Zhong was about to leave the room, he paused.
"My dear, are you really thinking about the people of Golden Scale City, or are you thinking about him?"
Ruyi behind him fell silent and did not respond.
Mr. Zhong was not expecting Ruyi's answer. Perhaps, even Ruyi herself did not have the answer. Mr. Zhong thought he had already seen this.
Only Ruyi and the unconscious Xue Kong were left in the room.
Ruyi lowered her head, a strand of her black hair falling beside Xue Kong's ear. She looked at Xue Kong's face and murmured to herself, "I have found the feeling of home, but I don't understand what love is."
"I don't want to know about your past."
The young men on the fishing boat finally gave up. They did not apologize to Mr. Zhong, but they expressed their regret through their actions.
The fishing boat had been stationary for six days, and on the morning of the seventh day, when the frost froze the deck, it slowly set sail again.
Slowly driving towards the direction of Jinlin City.
The temperature at sea dropped suddenly, and thick fog gradually spread across the sky. In this fog, the young people had no experience in sailing, so they had to ask for help from Mr. Zhong. Mr. Zhong did not hold a grudge, and worked with the young people to determine the direction and return safely.
When the snowflakes and strong winds merged into one, the fishing boat finally returned safely to Jinlin City.
And Xue Kong also woke up a day ago.
"Sister Ruyi, are we going home?" Xue Kong wrapped himself in several more layers of clothes and wore a thick tall hat. He hugged his arms tightly and stood on the deck, looking at the coast of Jinlin City appearing in the fog.
This scene made him a little unbelievable, and he almost thought it was an illusion.
It wasn't until Ruyi nodded that he felt happy. "Great, let's get off the boat quickly. I don't want to stay out here for even a second in this terrible weather."
