Chapter 744: Warship

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

Knowing that Yu Youyao had boarded the ship, Xie Jingliu quickly came out of the ship and saw the man and woman leaning against each other on the deck. He immediately narrowed his eyes and stared at “Zhou Linghuai”. His eyes almost spewed fire as he placed his hand on his cousin’s waist.

If he had only accidentally helped her up, how could he have hugged her for so long? His hand was on her waist, not to support her, but to hold her hand.

This dog, Zhou Linghuai, clearly had ill intentions towards his little cousin.

Xie Jingliu coughed hard, as if he was afraid that no one else could hear him.

Hearing the cough, Yu Youyao subconsciously took a step back, but this was her first time riding a ship. The ship swayed slightly, and her body couldn’t help but tilt. She was on the verge of collapse.

Yin Huaixi sighed softly and pulled her into his arms. “This is your first time on a boat. You’ll feel a little dizzy at first. Be careful.”

Seeing that he was so brazen, Xie Jingliu was furious. There was still a handsome and carefree smile on his face, and he kept reminding himself to stay calm in his heart!

He couldn’t be angry and scare her little cousin!

Only then did he barely maintain his smile.

“This is Cousin’s first time taking a boat, so she definitely won’t be used to it. The room has already been arranged. Why don’t you go back to your room and rest for a while?” Xie Jingliu’s expression paused for a moment. He looked at the arm around his little cousin’s waist, but he was still smiling. “There are too many people at the pier. Young Master Zhou, can you let go of my cousin first?”

When his great- grandfather was around, he was an obedient grandson and would always follow behind and bow respectfully.

Now that his great- grandfather was gone, he became dishonest.

He actually dared to have such thoughts about his cousin.

Beauty would be the death of him.

There were no examples such marriages in the Xie Residence and the Yu Residence. He could not marry his cousin unless he was not a member of the Zhou family.

Yin Huaixi knew that he couldn’t fool Xie Jingliu, nor did he plan to. It would take at least half a month to take a boat to Quanzhou. They were on the same boat and would see each other often. As time pa.s.sede everything would be exposed.

Was Yin Huaixi that kind of person who couldn’t see the light of day?

NO!

Yu Youyao blushed and came out of Yin Huaixi’s arms. She explained softly, “This is the first time I’m on a boat. I-I’m not used to it. After I got on the boat, I kept feeling that my feet isn’t on solid ground. My heart was feels very uneasy. Once the boat swayed slightly, I panicked.”

Yin Huaixi was worried that she would lose her balance and fall, so he was still holding her arm.

Xie Jingliu raised his voice and shouted, “Bi Zhu!”

A young maidservant, who was about eleven or twelve years old and was wearing a green jacket dress, quickly walked out of the ship and bowed to Xie Jingliu. “h.e.l.lo, Young Master!”

Xie Jingliu pointed at Bi Zhu and said, “Grandmother chose two maidservants for you. This is Bi Zhu, and the other one is called Cui Zhu. She should be cleaning up the room now.” As if he was worried that she would misunderstand, he explained, “Grandmother knows that you don’t lack anyone to serve you. It’s just that this is the first time you’ve taken a boat and will stay on the water for half a month. Bi Zhu and Cui Zhu are both fishing girls. They’ve followed Father to the sea since they were young. To them, the boat is no different from flat land.’

It was also the first time the people in front of her had taken a boat, so it was inevitable that they would feel uncomfortable. It was best to send two people who were used to sailing on the water to serve her.

Yu Youyao was very touched. “Grandmother is so thoughtful.”

Xie Jingliu smiled and instructed Bi Zhu, “Meet Young Miss. Then…” He narrowed his eyes and looked at the hand that was still holding his little cousin’s arm. He gritted his teeth. “Help Young Miss back to her room to rest.”

Bi Zhu agreed and respectfully stepped forward to bow to Yu Youyao before supporting her.

Yin Huaixi could only retract his arm.

Bi Zhu had the strength to steadily help Yu Youyao around the boat.

As soon as she left, Xie Jingliu sneered. He opened the fan in his hand with a whoosh, and a small blade popped out of the fan’s arc, rushing towards the other party’s face bluntly.

The fan attacked at lightning speed. Yin Huaixi turned around and raised his hand to block Xie Jingliu’s wrist.

Xie Jingliu’s wrist was agile as he avoided his grip.

The two of them exchanged blows. There was a tacit understanding between them. They did not use their fists and feet, only their martial arts.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten moves were exchanged.

The more Xie Jingliu fought, the more shocked he became. He had practiced this move since he was young, but how could a sickly young master like “Zhou Linghuai” have such powerful skills?

Dragon-entwining Hands was easy to learn but difficult to master. Anyone who could practice to this level had excellent foundation.

It was definitely not something that a weak scholar like Zhou Linghuai could learn.

At the thought of this, Xie Jingliu’s heart sank. He closed his fan and took a step back. “Let’s talk?”

Yin Huaixi nodded.

The two of them entered the ship one after another. Xie Jingliu led Yin Huaixi to the top floor. The cold wind howled angrily in the wind, and their clothes fluttered.

Xie Jingliu went straight to the point. “Three years ago, after I left the capital, I personally went to Youzhou. The young master of the Zhou family, who is in charge of Youzhou, is weak and lives in seclusion. His reputation isn’t revealed, but as long as you have the intention, it’s not impossible to find out about him. Niany people in the Zhou family know about him.”

Back then, when he saw that Zhou Linghuai was close to his cousin, he felt worried.

After the matter in the capital was over, he personally made a trip over.

At that time, he did not doubt “Zhou Linghuai’s” ident.i.ty. He suspected that “Zhou Linghuai” had entered the capital for a purpose and wanted to test his character.

The news he had heard was probably similar to Zhou Linghuai in person, so he did not suspect anything else.

At that time, if he had been more meticulous and drawn a portrait of “Zhou Linghuai”, he would have known if the person in front of him was a human or a ghost.

Xie Jingliu had taken the initiative with just one sentence, indicating that he knew a lot about “Zhou Linghuai.” Don’t even think about using “Zhou Linghuai” to fool him.

Yin Huaixi chuckled and took out the yellow jade ring from his pocket, throwing it to Xie Jingliu.

“So it’s you.” Xie Jingliu sneered. He reached out and grabbed the jade ring. Without even looking at it, he threw the jade ring back. “One person plays two roles. There aren’t as many characters on a stage as you.”

Yin Huaixi rubbed his nose.

Xie Jingliu’s voice was very cold. “Does my cousin know your ident.i.ty?” Yin Huaixi nodded. “l didn’t hide it from her. She knew about it three years ago.”

Thinking of the scene of his cousin leaning against Yin Huaixi’s chest on the deck just now, Xie Jingliu’s eyelids  He had a bad feeling in his heart, as if his cousin was about to fly away.

Xie Jingliu couldn’t smile anymore. He glanced at Yin Huaixi from the corner of his eye. “King Li of Zhou has already been rehabilitated. You’ve been conferred the t.i.tle of King of the North by Yue Fei. Instead of guarding the

North, why are you still staying in the capital?”

He gritted his teeth and said the last few words, making him panic.

The dignified King of the North, Yue Fei, did not stay in the North. Instead, he stayed in the Yu Residence and coaxed his cousin. Everyone knew his intentions..
