It was by the dock of Qiu that they parted ways.
Only LiangLin had come to say goodbye. It was too early in the morning for anyone else to accompany him.
Sheng Hai and Tu ShuYin had already departed on their ship before sunrise.
It was with difficulty that XueYa coaxed Sheng Hai into not accompanying him on his journey to retrieve Mang HuaZhen.
But Captain Sheng had insisted until XueYa couldn't take it any longer and had said,
"Are you using me as an excuse to run away from taking responsibility with ShuYin?"
"... Fucker, don't say it like I'm a coward." Sheng Hai's brows twitched as he glanced at his ship.
The supplies were being loaded to their ships as they spoke, all generously gifted by the Emperor himself.
Tu ShuYin was already on board with the rabbit god, YaYun's imperial physician. The old man knew his way back to the Tu Clan, the place he was born and raised before he stumbled into Qiu.
