Chapter 652: Careful and prudent

Ye Liuyun and company chatted with Luo Yurou all along the road, and everyone also asked many questions about the outer realms.

Only then did Luo Yurou realize that these people were visiting the outer realms for the first time.

Upon arriving at Wolf Fang Island, as the flying boat drew near, everyone saw the island growing larger and larger.

"How should we land on this continent?" Ye Liuyun asked Luo Yurou.

They had been sent here directly by the Qing Lin, without personally experiencing leaving the outer realms or returning from the outer realms to the continent.

"Just follow the direction I told you and go straight over. At first there will be a stretch where you feel some resistance, but once you pass it, it'll be fine."

Luo Yurou now knew they had never experienced this before, so she directed them very patiently, constantly helping Ye Liuyun adjust the course.

Just as the flying boat approached the continent, it suddenly encountered a strong resistance, as if someone were pulling the flying boat.

But after gliding for a distance, that resistance disappeared again, and the flying boat began to rush toward the ground.

Everyone aboard the flying boat, due to inertia, leaned backward.

Fortunately, Luo Yurou had experience and helped keep the flying boat under control; otherwise it would have soon crashed to the ground.

Next, Luo Yurou slightly adjusted the direction and flew toward a nearby city.

Soon, the flying boat flew straight to the gate of a large manor and stopped there.

Luo Yurou led Ye Liuyun and the others off the flying boat and walked into the courtyard.

At that moment, the gatekeeper had already reported their arrival, and an old man came out trotting to greet them.

"Yurou, didn't you marry into the Shen Family? Why are you back? Who are these people?" the old man asked anxiously.

"Father, don't rush; I'll tell you what happened later. First let me settle these lifesavers! Young Master Ye, this is my father, Luo Tianyi."

Luo Yurou said this, then introduced Ye Liuyun and the others to her father, and arranged for someone to take them to rest first.

Afterward, she then temporarily left with Luo Tianyi and recounted the whole story.

She and her father naturally spoke truthfully.

After listening, Luo Tianyi pondered for a moment, then said to Luo Yurou: "That Ye Liuyun is truly not ordinary! Decisive in killing, brave and strategic."

Afterwards, he earnestly instructed Luo Yurou: "What he said is correct! From now on, remember that when you tell others about this incident, it was the bandits who first killed Shen Siyuan and company, and then Ye Liuyun and the others killed the bandits and saved you. Be sure to remember this!"

"All right, Father!" Luo Yurou replied obediently.

Luo Tianyi then added: "You should also help them leave as soon as possible! This kid is no ordinary person; don't bring any disaster upon us."

"Father, however you put it, they are my lifesavers. Moreover, along the way I've chatted with them and found them all to be decent people!" Luo Yurou argued.

"You're still young, you don't understand! People's hearts are treacherous. Hurry up and do as I say. They saved you, and I will naturally repay them. But their origins are unknown; we cannot keep them here for long." Luo Tianyi's father scolded her, stern-faced.

"Oh!" Luo Yurou replied, though in her heart she did not agree.

She immediately went out to make arrangements to receive Ye Liuyun and the others.

After seeing Luo Yurou, Ye Liuyun and the others immediately discussed with her resupply and hiring sailors and crew.

This place is, after all, the territory of the Three Yuan Sect; if the Three Yuan Sect learned he was here, they would quickly send people to hunt him down.

Especially after Xiao Mingyue returns, his whereabouts will be exposed right away.

Therefore, all actions must still be carried out as quickly as possible.

But seeing that Luo Yurou didn't seem eager to attend to business, he quietly divulged a bit of information to her.

"We are actually being hunted! The pursuers will likely catch up soon. So please, Miss Luo, hurry as much as you can."

Ye Liuyun did not say his opponent was the Three Yuan Sect. Since this is, after all, the Three Yuan Sect's jurisdiction, it's better for him not to reveal his information yet.

"Ah, is that so?" Upon hearing Ye Liuyun say that, Luo Yurou finally grew nervous.

"We have an experienced crewman here who has been to the Central Continent! He's the one-eyed old drunk that Elder Gao mentioned in front of Black Shark. If you can persuade him, then going to the Central Continent will be much safer for you. He's practically a living map of navigation!"

"Oh? How can we persuade him?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"I'm afraid it'll be difficult! He lost an eye because he was injured when he went to the Central Continent. It's said he once swore never to sail again. Even Black Shark has tried repeatedly to persuade him, to no avail." Luo Yurou explained, looking worried.

"No problem! Since he's a capable person, first take me to see him; I'll talk to him in person and then decide."

Ye Liuyun felt that such a person would certainly not be easily swayed by an ordinary individual. After understanding him, he could then prescribe the right approach.

Moreover, he also wanted to personally assess this person's character. Even out of courtesy, he ought to meet him in person first.

"All right then, I'll take you to find him." Luo Yurou immediately led Ye Liuyun and the others off to look for the one-eyed old drunk.

She had originally intended to take Ye Liuyun alone, so they could have some private time along the way.

Ye Liuyun is easygoing, considerate of others' feelings, strong in ability, and handsome in appearance—no woman could remain unmoved.

However, she only felt a slight fondness, with no other particular thoughts. After all, compared to the women around Ye Liuyun, she had no advantage.

Yet Ye Liuyun insisted on bringing everyone else, not leaving a single person behind, leaving her with no choice.

In fact, Ye Liuyun didn't want to leave others in an unfamiliar place, fearing they might meet with mishap. Whenever he goes out, he is meticulously cautious everywhere.

Luo Yurou is simple-minded, but that doesn't mean the Luo family or others won't have ulterior motives.

As soon as this group steps out, they attract much attention. Especially the few women, who are overly dazzling; even other women will glance at them repeatedly.

However, with Luo Yurou present, no one comes to cause trouble. After all, the Luo family's status on Wolf Fang Island is still not low.

On the way, Ye Liuyun asked Luo Yurou: "That one-eyed drunkard, why did he swear never to sail again?"

"It seems related to his daughter. The last time he sailed, he took his daughter along; when he returned, only he remained. The specific reason, he never mentioned. Others ask him, but he won't say!"

Luo Yurou also couldn't make clear the reason the one-eyed drunkard gave up sailing.

Seeing that Luo Yurou didn't know much either, Ye Liuyun stopped asking and instead began to survey the surroundings.
