Ye Zhen did not let Hong Ying go to Uncle Man. They were still on the Shen family's ship, and every move must be cautious.
Ye Zhen did not go out until dawn, and no one came to disturb her. She didn't know how Murong Ke and Bai Ziqi made peace, but it had nothing to do with her anyway. She just needed to go ashore safely.
"Miss, that Bai Ziqi is gone." Hong Ying ran back a little out of breath and said, "This servant saw him leave in a boat."
"Left?" Ye Zhen was slightly stunned. It seemed that he had reached an agreement with Shen Yuexuan, but she didn't know the result.
Hong Ying whispered, "We will soon reach Canghai City. Those pirates dare not continue to follow, or they will be discovered by the navy."
Ye Zhen nodded gently, "I am Li Yuniang."
"No need to go, she is no longer on the ship." Murong Ke appeared outside the door, his bright eyes looking at Ye Zhen indifferently.
"What do you mean?" Ye Zhen frowned at him.
Murong Ke said indifferently, "Shen Yuexuan handed her over to Bai Ziqi."
"Bai Ziqi will not let her go. How can Shen Yuexuan hand her over to him?" Ye Zhen's tone was a little displeased. Although she didn't like Li Yuniang very much, she was inevitably angry when she heard that she was handed over like this.
Probably because she was almost thrown into the White Dragon River by Bai Ziqi yesterday, this was a kind of anger of the fox mourning the death of the rabbit.
Murong Ke looked at her deeply, "Only Shen Yuexuan knows how to treat his woman."
"Bai Ziqi will kill Li Yuniang." Ye Zhen said, "Shen Yuexuan knows this result."
"Little girl, before you want to fight for justice, you must be able to protect yourself." Murong Ke looked at her with a faint smile.
Ye Zhen knew that he was reminding her that if it weren't for him yesterday, her fate might not be much better than Li Yuniang's.
"Who are you?" Ye Zhen looked at him and asked.
Murong Ke's bright eyes were tinged with a smile. He leaned close to Ye Zhen's face, "Do you want to know me so much?"
Ye Zhen looked at him coldly, "Not at all."
"Little girl, how many times have I saved you?" Murong Ke's mellow and gentle voice sounded like a gurgling spring, and even his pair of eyes seemed even more handsome and lively because of his smile.
"I am very grateful that you didn't let Bai Ziqi throw me into the White Dragon River last night." said Ye Zhen seriously. She indeed owed him a favor.
Murong Ke's lips curled into a smile. "Yes, and then?"
"And then …" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows. What else was there between them? "I will naturally remember the favor of saving my life."
"Is that all?" Murong Ke looked at her, amused. "Aren't you being too cold to your savior?"
Ye Zhen glanced at him faintly, "I think this is the best."
Murong Ke chuckled. He felt that there must be something wrong with him. The more he looked at this little girl, the more he liked her, even though she had never been nice to him. "We're almost at Canghai City. I'll send you to the capital."
"I can go by myself." Ye Zhen frowned. She didn't want to have any intersection with him after she went ashore. It was best not to see him again for the rest of her life.
"Aren't you afraid that Bai Ziqi will have people waiting for you in Canghai City?" Murong Ke raised his eyebrows and asked, "I saved your life. I don't want you to be taken away by him in the blink of an eye."
Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment. "Didn't Bai Ziqi leave?"
Murong Ke said with a smile, "Bai Ziqi is a vengeful person. For the first time in his life, he suffered a loss at the hands of a woman. How could he let you go? He can't go ashore now, but it doesn't mean that there are no people in Canghai City."
"I can protect myself." Ye Zhen said.
"You can't protect yourself." Murong Ke said faintly, "Well, go back to your room. Don't come out until the ship docks, and don't care about the life and death of others. You can't even protect yourself, and you still want to help others?"
Ye Zhen heard the indifference in Murong Ke's voice. It seemed that other people's lives didn't matter to him at all. He seemed to be romantic and affectionate, but he was actually a very ruthless person.
"You're right. You shouldn't be nosy." Ye Zhen said lightly.
It seemed that no one knew that Li Yuniang gave her the map. She wondered if Li Yuniang gave Shen Yuexuan a fake map. Before they find out, she'd better avoid them.
Ye Zhen returned to her room and continued to wait. About an hour later, she finally saw the port not far away.
They had arrived at Canghai City.
"Miss, we're here." Hong Ying said happily.
"Mmm." Ye Zhen nodded. Finally, they arrived in Dongqing. Her father said that someone would pick her up after they went ashore.
Not long after, their ship slowed down and docked on the shore with the help of trackers.
After several days on the river, Ye Zhen felt her whole body shaking when she set foot on land.
"Little girl, don't rush to walk. Stand for a while before you go." Murong Ke's voice came from behind her. He had come to Ye Zhen's side and was looking at her with bright eyes.
This man is really like a shadow. Ye Zhen glared at him impatiently.
"My carriage is over there, follow me." Murong Ke said.
Ye Zhen said coldly, "I also have a carriage."
"Aren't you looking for your relatives? Who will pick you up? "Murong Ke raised his eyebrows, not believing her words at all.
"I can … rent a carriage." Ye Zhen pursed her lips. She couldn't tell Murong Ke that someone would pick her up. She was indeed an orphan.
Shen Yuexuan came up from behind with a gentle smile on his face. "Miss Lu, I haven't repaid your favor yet. It just so happens that we are also going to the capital. Why don't we go together?"
"Master Shen is polite. You don't owe me anything. After all, Li Yuniang didn't come back with you." Ye Zhen said faintly, her tone was very cold.
"Anyway, Yu Niang is also a person I used to love. I am very grateful that you saved her." Shen Yuexuan sighed.
What a shameless hypocrite!
Ye Zhen smiled indifferently. "You're welcome."
Murong Ke grabbed Ye Zhen's arm. "Don't talk nonsense. It's getting dark. If you don't go, you'll have to sleep on the street tonight."
"Let me go!" Ye Zhen cried angrily. "I can walk by myself."
"Let go of the girl." Hong Ying shouted and reached out to save Ye Zhen.
Murong Ke easily avoided Hong Ying's attack and glanced coldly at Xiao Qi, who was about to pounce on him and bite him. He whispered to Ye Zhen, "I'm doing this for your own good. I don't want Bai Ziqi's people to take you away. If you refuse to go, I don't mind carrying you to the carriage."
Ye Zhen took a deep breath. "Why do you do this? I don't want to go with you … "
"I saved your life, so I should have the final say." Murong Ke said in a low voice, with a faint smile in his eyes.
