Wu Lanxi glanced at Tang Huan, then let him help her onto the boat. They then boarded a small boat and made their way closer to the large boat in the center of the lake.
Once on board, Tang Huan felt even more strongly about the ship's extravagance, fearing it must have cost a considerable amount of silver to build.
There were already many people on the ship, busy waiting. As soon as Wu Lanxi boarded the ship, someone prepared a late-night snack on the top deck.
