Lu Fei sat cross-legged on the Jiao's back and stared at the surface of the sea in front of him.
He was far away from the shore. If he were to appear in front of the people while riding on the Black Jiao, it would be too shocking. If the people knew that Lu Fei had such a Black Jiao as a pet, they might be jealous and try to steal it. His enemies might even try to get rid of Lu Fei's precious mount. Lu Fei understood the principle of "treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime" very well.
He headed south in the sea at full speed. In two days, he had already covered half of the distance. During that time, he deliberately avoided the king's ships so that they would not see him. One afternoon, he caught a fish and roasted it to eat. Suddenly, he saw countless people struggling to swim on the surface of the sea. He thought that it was strange. Why did these people come here to swim? Did something happen to them? He let the Black Jiao leave first while he jumped into the water and rushed toward those people. If these people found out that he was riding on the Black Jiao, it would definitely spread all over the world. After all, he was now considered a celebrity.
Lu Fei could swim quite fast in the water. With a push of his palm, he could swim more than ten meters away. Sometimes, he could even swim out of the surface of the sea with his great strength. His heart skipped a beat, and he stopped where he was. He channeled his power to his feet and began to tread on the water. If it were a normal person treading on the water, they could only keep their upper body above the surface of the sea. However, not only were Lu Fei's feet strong, he could also release his power. It was as if he was exerting force. Therefore, his body rose higher and higher. He could actually keep his waist above the surface of the sea and continue to move forward like that. It was as if he was walking on land.
Lu Fei had never had such an experience before. For a moment, he felt that it was very novel. He got closer and closer to the people who had fallen into the water. Someone saw Lu Fei and immediately shouted, "Help! Help!" The others looked at Lu Fei and saw that he could actually walk in the water. Moreover, he was not slow. They were all amazed.
Someone was the first to see Lu Fei's face clearly. He shouted, "It's Lu Fei, Young Master Lu."
A young man said with hatred, "Our ship was taken away by the Dusk Sect."
Lu Fei said in surprise, "Dusky Gray Sect is ruthless, but you guys actually managed to survive under their hands?"
At this moment, Cai Wenji swam over and said, "Even if they don't fear our father, they still have to consider the consequences of offending our master."
Lu Fei asked curiously, "Who is your master?"
Cai Wenji replied, "It's the current Assistant Minister, Huangfu Song."
Last time, Lu Fei saw the young man traveling with Cai Wenji and said, "Even if they don't fear Master, our Grand Preceptor Liu Xuan and the others can't afford to offend them."
Lu Fei suddenly said, "I see. Then why did Mo Weiting come to your mansion to seek revenge last time?"
Cai Wenji said, "That's because father has some conflicts with them. Mo Weiting just wanted to go there and make trouble. He doesn't dare to do anything to father. Otherwise, there will be no place for them in the world. The Emperor will definitely order the encirclement and annihilation of Mu Cang Sect."
Lu Fei knew that even though the Han Dynasty was nearing its end, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. The Dusk Faction did not dare to openly make an enemy out of the royal family. Cai Yong was an important official in the imperial court.
Lu Fei looked around and said, "It's hard to run into a ship here."
Everyone naturally knew what he meant. It was obviously unrealistic to swim back. Cai Wenji said, "We're not worried that there won't be a ship. It's just that some of us are injured. We're afraid that sharks will be drawn out from the sea."
Lu Fei knew that sharks were sensitive, especially to blood. If a group of sharks were attracted, it would be difficult to deal with them. He said, "Everyone is maintaining their strength in the sea. It's not realistic to swim back now. It's just a waste of energy."
Cai Wenji said anxiously, "But what should we do now?"
Another woman said, "That's right. Hero Lu, you must save us."
Lu Fei said, "Since this is the route of a ship, we'll run into a passing ship sooner or later. We just have to wait. As for the sharks … there's no need to worry." As he spoke, he looked into the distance. The black flood dragon was swimming there. Not to mention that sharks would not dare to come over. Even if they did, they would probably be eaten by the black flood dragon.
Cai Wenji heard him say it so easily. Although she knew that his skills were profound, she did not dare to believe that he could really defeat sharks.
Lu Fei asked, "Why did the Dusk Faction take your ship?"
Cai Wenji said, "I don't know. They have their own ship, but they took ours away. I think they need the ship to transport some goods."
Lu Fei pondered for a moment. Cai Wenji asked, "I wonder why Young Master Lu is here alone."
Lu Fei said vaguely, "I'm just practicing."
Although Cai Wenji wanted to know what kind of martial arts Lu Fei was practicing, she understood that once it involved martial arts, it was personal privacy. Therefore, she did not ask.
The crowd waited for a long time, but there was no ship coming. Although they were anxious, they could do nothing. Some of the women took the initiative to chat with Lu Fei. They asked about the past, and Lu Fei casually told them about it. Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, and there was still no ship coming, many people began to feel anxious. They thought that the longer they stayed here, the more dangerous it would be. The Eldest Senior Brother that Lu Fei saw earlier said, "Staying here is not a solution. Let's swim to the shore. We'll rest as we walk. We'll get there."
Lu Fei sneered in his heart. He thought that once they left here, they would deviate from the route. It would be even more difficult to meet a ship. This Eldest Senior Brother's skills were barely passable. He might be able to swim to the shore, but the others would definitely die of thirst in less than three days. Cai Wenji hesitated for a moment and said, "If we deviate from the route, we won't be able to meet another ship."
The Eldest Senior Brother said coldly, "That's still better than being eaten by sharks here." Last time, he suffered at the hands of Lu Fei. Now that he saw that Lu Fei's appearance had completely stolen his limelight, he was somewhat jealous. At this time, he wanted to refute Lu Fei's point of view.
Lu Fei said, "If you want to swim, that's up to you. However, you can't drink seawater. It's impossible to swim from here to the shore without ten days to half a month. It's up to you." He paused and said, "Your Eldest Senior Brother's skills are not bad. He should be able to make it." He mercilessly exposed the Eldest Senior Brother's intentions. The Eldest Senior Brother's expression changed. "What do you mean?"
Lu Fei smiled and did not answer. Hearing this, the crowd hesitated again. If they could not reach the shore in ten days to half a month, it was equivalent to death.
