Jiang Sheng suddenly raised his head to look at him, puzzled, "If Kirishima and the Temple are really mortal enemies, then that's perfect. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, haven't you heard the saying?"
Bing scoffed, "Tsk, you're playing with fire. You don't really think Kirishima is a good person, do you? You're actually helping Kirishima's people. The Kirishima Shrine is not a good thing."
"...Oh, tell me in detail, I don't know much about this."
"A hundred years ago, Kirishima was still in the Central Plains. Back then, it was called the Ancient Temple, and the Temple was called the Evil God. They were all pursuing immortality, but Kirishima wanted to be a little more respectable."
"The current temple spares no expense, treating human lives as if they were human. Both are essentially pursuing immortality. If they want to defy the will of heaven, they are not good people themselves."
Bing looked towards Wu Shuyan and whispered, "I heard that Kirishima Seiko was called this name. That guy is twenty years old. How could it be this little brat?"
Jiang Sheng raised his eyebrows: "You... suspect Yanyan?"
"I'm not doubting them. I just think that people who pursue immortality are a little bit mentally ill. It won't do you any harm if you stay away from them."
"Okay, I see. Thanks for the reminder."
"Oh, there's one more thing. Most people from Kirishima have the gift of bewitching. Their eyes can bewitch people, and those who are bewitched are as obedient as puppets. Afterwards, they don't even remember what happened."
When Bing talked about this, his brows furrowed.
Jiang Shengen murmured, his expression unchanged: "I understand. If he has no ill will towards me, I will have no ill will towards him either. But if he does... then just kill him."
"Well, it's good that you think so."
"Okay, when will this barbecue be ready? I'm hungry."
"immediately."
Inside the cabin, Lian Ji was eating slowly and asked softly, "Yan Yan, where is this ship going? Can we go directly back to Kirishima, or do we have to go to Central Plains first?"
Wu Shuyan's eyes flashed with confusion. Looking at his weak mother, he slowly made up his mind and whispered, "Don't worry, mother. This boat will go directly to Wu Island."
"You mean you want to control the boatman to change direction?"
"Well, Kirishima isn't too far from Central Plains. Why not go to Kirishima first? We'll provide their food and lodging, and we can leave whenever we want."
Lian Ji lowered her eyes and said nothing. She always felt that this was not right, but she really didn't have time. If she went to Central Plains and then to Kirishima, it would take at least half a month.
Time is running out, and she can only feel sorry for the people on the boat. She will treat them well when the time comes.
Wu Shuyan said softly, "Mom, please eat more. This is what big brother baked and it's delicious."
"Okay, you eat too."
"Um."
Jiang Shengbing was eating slowly when he saw the little guy coming over. He asked shyly, "Big brother, can I have some food?"
"Yes, sure. You can pick what you like, shrimp, crab, or fish. We also have porridge here. Your mother is not in good health, so porridge would be nice for her."
"Then I'll have some porridge. Thank you, big brother."
After Wu Shuyan poured two bowls of porridge and thanked him, he was about to turn around and leave when Jiang Sheng's voice came: "Yanyan, where is your home? If it's on your way to Zhongyuan, let's go together."
"...My home is in a very remote village. Even if I tell you, you might not know me. It's probably not on the way. Please don't worry about us, thank you."
After saying that, he nodded and turned away.
Bing took a deep look at the other person and whispered, "Be careful, beware of any tricks this guy might make."
Jiang Sheng said nothing and lowered his head to eat seafood.
It was getting dark, and everyone went into the cabin to rest. A small figure came out stealthily, touched the boatman's cabin, raised his hand and did something, and the door opened.
Looking at the sleeping figure on the bed, he looked down at the other person and raised his hand to knock the person unconscious.
The boatman opened his eyes and looked at him with a dull and empty look.
Wu Shuyan whispered, "Starting tomorrow, turn southeast and head towards Kirishima. If anyone asks, just tell them that both routes are acceptable."
Dai Dai said, "Okay, I understand. Starting tomorrow, we will turn around and head to Kirishima instead of going to...Central Plains."
"Yes, go to sleep and remember you haven't seen anyone."
"I haven't seen anyone!"
The boatman fell straight down, closed his eyes and fell asleep, and the sound of snoring slowly came out. Wu Shuyan made sure that he was asleep, turned around and tiptoed out to lock the door and restore everything to its original state.
After walking around the deck and about to return to the cabin, a familiar voice came from above my head.
"Yanyan, why are you out here so late at night?"
Wu Shuyan's whole body trembled, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. After adjusting his emotions, he raised his head and looked over. He met a pair of indifferent eyes and said innocently, "Big brother, why are you on the roof?"
Jiang Sheng said naturally: "Look at the stars. Don't you think it's a very interesting thing to watch the stars at sea? If you miss this opportunity, you won't have such a chance in the future."
"Can I go up and take a look too?"
"Well, I'll take you up."
Raising his hand, Wu Shuyan felt his body floating up, and the next moment he was standing on the roof. His foot slipped and he almost fell down.
A big hand grabbed his clothes from behind, lifted him up and sat him on the eaves, then slowly exhaled.
"Phew, I was so scared. I almost fell down just now."
Jiang Sheng ate some melon seeds and said slowly, "With me here, you won't fall. Come, look at the stars."
Wu Shuyan looked up and saw the sky full of stars. It was so beautiful that he couldn't help but stare at it, muttering, "It's really beautiful! I haven't seen stars in a long, long time."
"Oh, why?"
"After my mother disappeared, I haven't had the heart to look at the stars. But it will be better now. Now that my mother is home, our family can be reunited."
"When I was very young, my father would carry me up high up in the air and hold a lantern to watch the stars. It was so beautiful."
Jiang Sheng whispered, "Yeah, I miss home a little too. I wonder how my family is doing. I don't know if I'll see them again after this separation."
Wu Shuyan turned his head and looked over, blinking his eyes: "Yes, if we are destined to meet, we will definitely meet. Every time I am in danger, big brother will appear."
"This is fate!"
"...Are you sure this isn't my bad fate? Well, you're just a kid, whatever you say is fine."
"Big brother, thank you, and... I'm sorry. If I do something wrong in the future, can you forgive me?"
Jiang Sheng's lips curled slightly, and he said thoughtfully: "It depends on the severity of the situation. If it's not serious, I'll forgive you. If it's serious, I won't forgive you. Yanyan, are you lying to me about something?"
Wu Shuyan shook his head: "I didn't lie to you, but I'm hiding something from you. I'm sorry, but I can't tell you."
