Duozi remained silent; she could not disobey the young master's orders.
“Multifaceted?” Zhao Shu’s face was ashen.
"Princess, I'm sorry, I can't." Duozi knelt down with a thud, bowing her head, showing her decision through her actions.
Zhao Shu felt powerless. Over the years, she had tried her best, but in the end, she was still so vulnerable. In front of ordinary people, she was arrogant and domineering, but in front of the truly strong, she was just a pushover!
Hidden among the reeds, Huo Baichuan watched her slender figure standing in the wind, her long hair fluttering, as if she could drift away at any moment, or be blown away at any moment.
Having known her for so long, this is the first time I've seen her so vulnerable.

After saying this, before Zhao Shu could angrily reply, he raised his voice and gave the order, "Set sail!"
At a command, small boats emerged from the reeds. The people on board were not visible, but their speed was astounding. In the blink of an eye, they had reached the opposite island.
