Thirteenth Prince was disappointed that he did not see Zhu Wanqing this time. He had wanted to find an excuse to wander around the island for a while, but after arriving, he found that the island was heavily guarded and the management of personnel was very strict. Every step he took was watched by many eyes. In order not to alert the enemy, Thirteenth Prince had no choice but to reluctantly go down the mountain.
When they left, the woman in green was still responsible for escorting them. The Thirteenth Prince was still blindfolded. He wasn't even given a final chance. Helpless, the Thirteenth Prince could only try to slow down the journey and desperately rely on his sense of direction to remember the way.
"Why must I be blindfolded? This mountain path is so rugged, I could just walk on my own..." Thirteenth Master complained, his foot slipping as he pretended to fall. Unexpectedly, the woman beside him effortlessly grabbed him and snapped, "Just walk your own way, don't ask so many questions..."
Unexpectedly, the dignified Thirteenth Prince was being looked down upon by a woman. He was angry but dared not retaliate, and could only mutter, "Are you bandits and robbers? What's so shameful about you...?"
With a sharp hiss, the Thirteenth Prince felt a chill on his neck. The instantaneous sharp pain startled him, and he dared not move. Instinctively, he knew that a sharp sword was at his throat. He stammered, "No...no...no...I misspoke, I misspoke..."
The woman in green approached the Thirteenth Master and said thoughtfully, "Do you know what you're saying?"
Thirteenth Master was surrounded by darkness, relying only on his breathing to determine the direction of the woman in green. He pleaded, "I was just joking... Your master has already made a contract with you. You can't kill me now. It would be difficult to explain if you went back..."
The woman in green hesitated for a moment, then sneered and sheathed her sword: "Hmph...it won't kill you to keep quiet!"
Thirteenth Master let out a long sigh of relief, then was pushed from behind, staggering forward: "Alright, alright... I'll go, I'll go..."
Only after boarding the boat was the blindfold removed from Thirteen's head. Having witnessed what had just happened, Thirteen dared not ask a single question. He glanced at the expressions of the women, which were as cold as ice, and none of them uttered a word. They gave a few instructions to the fishermen using sign language and then pushed Thirteen onto the boat.
As she left, the woman in green leaned closer and warned, "I advise you to forget everything you saw today and obediently follow my master's orders. You'll be rewarded in the future. If you don't, this day next year will be your death anniversary..."
The Thirteenth Master was so frightened that he took a few steps back, swayed and fell into the boat, slowly leaving the island.
On the other side, the Seventeenth Master mobilized a large number of men to search for the Thirteenth Master's whereabouts. They finally found the shore where the Thirteenth Master had left by following the car tracks, only to find that there was no one there.
The Seventeenth Prince angrily swung his sword, knocking away the pebbles on the shore, startling the guards into trembling silence.
"They've been missing for so long, why haven't they come back yet? Could they be in danger?" Seventeen asked worriedly.
The accompanying guard said cautiously, "Seventeenth Master, Thirteenth Master is a famously intelligent master; he will surely act according to the circumstances..."
Seventeenth Master looked at the calm sea and said wistfully, "I should have told him not to go..."
Just then, a soldier rushed over, knelt down, and said, "Reporting to the Seventeenth Prince, we have spotted a small fishing boat slowly approaching the shore..."
