In the corridor, two figures walked hand in hand.

Under the gaze of the crowd, they gradually disappeared into the distance.

Many outside wanted to make a move, but in the end, they gave up.

At this moment, the middle-aged man beside Elder Li said, “Smiling San Sheng is injured and already on the verge of collapse. If someone makes a move, it will be a sure kill. The woman by his side is not a threat.’

“Yes. Smiling San Sheng is heavily injured. Anyone on the ship could kill him easily. But why is no one taking action?” Elder Li asked.

“Are they afraid? Does Smiling San Sheng have someone backing him?” the middle-aged man asked.

“No.” Elder Li shook his head. “Behind the people present, there are various forces. Not everyone despises Smiling San Sheng. Initially, most wanted Smiling San Sheng dead, and even if someone wanted to save him, it was difficult to defuse the situation. But now, the situation has changed. The strength Smiling San Sheng displayed far exceeded expectations. If someone makes a move, it means they are sure that Smiling San Sheng has no more strength left. That’s a risky bet. Others can bet that Smiling San Sheng still has strength and will stand up for him. If someone does that, then they will have to stand by it. It’s all very complicated. How can it be explained in just a few words?”

The middle-aged man nodded.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked curiously, “Elder Li, do you think Smiling San Sheng still has strength left?”

“No, but I also dare not make a move,” Elder Li said calmly. The middle-aged man was surprised.

“Let’s go. There’s no need to linger here.” Elder Li turned and left.

“Smiling San Sheng’s final strike was very powerful, but the aftermath will torment him for a long time. There are plenty of opportunities if you want to take action against him. There’s no need to do it at this moment.” The old man left the scene.

Meanwhile, Mi Lingyue, who was secretly watching Elder Li, sighed.

“If only this person had taken action.”

She had just given orders for the two maids to keep a close eye. If anyone made a move, they should intervene. This way, they could establish a good relationship with Smiling San Sheng. She had been wary of him from the beginning. Collaborating with someone this powerful could reap unexpected gains. Even if Smiling San Sheng really died in the end, she would suffer no losses.

As for being enemies with others…

When personal interests were common, there were no enemies.

“How did Smiling San Sheng win?” one of the maids asked in confusion.

“Anyway, he can afford to be arrogant. The strike just now was unbelievable, but he must have suffered a tremendous backlash. It’s hard to say if he can recover,” said another maid.

Mi Lingyue had also noticed it.

She could see that the previous move had almost drained Smiling San Sheng of all his strength as if everything was concentrated on that terrifying blade’s intent.

It would be difficult to recover, but she still felt that this person was extremely dangerous.

She must not make him an enemy at any cost.

At that time, there were many who expressed regret. Ran Hui had seen everything.

As an ordinary person, he could understand it as well. The scholar who helped him was indeed extraordinary.

When he descended to the deck, he stood with his hands behind his back. n.o.body had dared to utter a word.

He was truly incomparable.

Such a person was admirable, but he was just a commoner and dared not ask for too much.

He only wished for a peaceful life with his wife.

The entire ship was silent.

The silence lasted for seven days.

During this time, Smiling San Sheng did not appear again. Many people were restless. They wanted to know what was happening.

Some guessed secretly that Smiling San Sheng had already secretly left, and others thought that Smiling San Sheng was heavily injured and beyond recovery.

However, even if rumors were everywhere, no one dared to break open that wooden door and peek inside.

They could only wander around and keep a close watch.

As time pa.s.sed, the ship began to dock.

After stopping for a day, they set sail again.

Five days later, they would dock again, and it would be the last stop.

When the ship docked, the influence of Smiling San Sheng quietly dissipated.

However, that didn’t mean people weren’t curious.

Some were even planning to knock on the door and ask if he needed any help.

They wanted to know what was happening.

“Let’s try it. Now that the ship is docked, we can approach with good intentions. He won’t have any reason to act against us even if he has recovered.”

Three people were discussing it secretly.

“But what if he attacks us?” a worried woman asked.

“We can bring a gift. If anything seems off, we can offer the gift to save ourselves. It’s best to make it valuable,” said another person.

“What if we find out he’s not in a good condition?” the woman asked. “Don’t make a move. Sell the information to others,” said the other person.

“Okay.”

At that moment, a woman walked toward the room where Jiang Hao was. Since the bloodstains were quite obvious, there was no confusion about which room Jiang Hao was in.

Inside the room, Jiang Hao slowly opened his eyes.

Not only had he returned to his peak state, but his strength had also improved.

‘The No Regrets Technique is unexpectedly terrifying… truly beyond my expectations.’

He had underestimated the power of that technique. At the same time, his understanding of the backlash of the No Regrets Technique was insufficient.

In any case, he wouldn’t choose the No Regrets Technique.

If it weren’t for Hong Yuye, he might have been in danger.

Or perhaps it was because she was there that Smiling San Sheng could afford to be so reckless.

He didn’t know what he was thinking.

At that time, he didn’t have many thoughts. He was just thinking about applying what he had learned.

But it had made him appear foolish.

In the past, when Hong Yuye was present, he would not display his skill with the Heavenly Blade.

Now that he had used it, it would surely be noticed by her.

The Revival of Withered Wood ability manifested automatically to heal his severe injury.

However, the reason he was able to recover so quickly this time was that he had taken the Sea G.o.d Pill.

In just three days, he had mostly recovered.

The following steps were recuperation and absorbing the gains from this incident.

The No Regrets Technique made him understand more about the Seven Forms of Heavenly Blade, and he gained better control of the strength within his body.

Now, he was somewhat stronger than he was before when swinging the blade.

Of course, after unleashing that technique, he was only calm because the Revival of Withered Wood helped him.

The reason he had been able to walk back to his room was only because Hong Yuye had come out to meet him.

So, he sincerely thanked her.

Her outstretched hand had been like a glimmer of light in the darkness. After a moment of silence, Jiang Hao looked back at the No Regrets Technique once again.

At that moment, blade intent appeared around him, and a glint of blade light emanated from his eyes.

Suddenly, the knocking interrupted him.

“Who is it?” he asked instinctively. The blade intent surged around him.

In an instant, the person at the door seemed to feel the oppression, and their breathing halted.

They regretted coming here..
