"Mr. Ye, that's where you'll be resting." On the deck at the stern of the battleship, the ninja pointed at a small boat not far from the battleship.
The two ships were about a hundred feet apart and were connected by a thick iron chain. One end was tied to the stern of the battleship, and the other end was tied to the bow of the small boat.
Ye Fan frowned. He didn't expect Matsumoto Takeyoshi to arrange a second ship for him.
"Mr. Ye, come with me." The ninja flew up and jumped directly onto the iron chain. He jumped along the chain and jumped onto the small boat in the blink of an eye.
"Mr. Ye!" After the ninja jumped onto the small boat, he waved at Ye Fan and shouted.
Whoosh! Ye Fan disappeared from where he was. Then he appeared on the small boat with a whoosh.
"Ye … Mr. Ye, this is where you … you'll be resting," the ninja stammered. Ninja stammered. Ever since he was born, he had never seen such a fast movement technique.
Ye Fan stood where he was and carefully looked at the ship.
The ship wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. Although it was much smaller than Matsumoto Takeyoshi's battleship, it was enough for one person.
Ye Fan looked at the huge hole at the stern of Matsumoto Takeyoshi's battleship, then looked at the shape of the ship under his feet. He immediately understood.
The shape of the small boat was exactly the same as the hole at the stern of the battleship. This was a mothership! When the battleship was in danger, the people on the ship could directly take this ship and leave safely!
In other words, this ship was an escape ship!
"Mr. Ye, please take a rest here first." The ninja bent over and said to Ye Fan, "Someone will deliver your three meals a day. If you have any orders, feel free to knock on this iron chain. Someone will come over when the time comes."
"What's your name?" Ye Fan asked the ninja.
"This …" The ninja hesitated. Not revealing one's real name was one of the basic rules of a ninja.
"How should I address you?" Ye Fan asked.
"You … you can call me Ishii." The ninja lowered his head and answered.
"Alright, Ishii," Ye Fan said to the ninja. "In the future, you'll be in charge of delivering food to me. I don't want to see unfamiliar faces. Do you hear me?"
"Yes, Mr. Ye," Ninja answered with his head lowered.
"Alright, go ahead." Ye Fan waved his hand.
"Yes." The ninja nodded at Ye Fan. With a leap, he followed the iron chain back to the ship.
This ninja spoke Chinese very fluently and understood Han Chinese etiquette very well, so Ye Fan said what he had just said to him. He didn't like strangers, especially strangers from Japan.
With that in mind, Ye Fan opened the hatch and entered the main cabin.
The main cabin was divided into upper, middle, and lower levels. It was very spacious and tidy. It had everything, but it was also very simple. The upper level was extremely empty. Other than a futon and a coffee table, there were almost no decorations. It was obvious that this was where Matsumoto Takeyoshi lived.
The middle level had a lot of decorations. There was a dining room, an activity room, and a sleeping cabin.
The lower level was filled with all kinds of supplies, fresh water, grains, dehydrated vegetables, fruits, jerky, and so on. It had everything.
After Ye Fan walked around, he returned to the upper level.
"Xiao Zhao." Ye Fan turned his head and patted Baihu's head on his shoulder. "I'm afraid we'll have to live here for a long time in the future."
Zeng! Baihu jumped down from Ye Fan's shoulder. This was its first time on a ship. Everything here was new to it.
"It's getting late. Let's sleep." Ye Fan carried Baihu and placed it on a futon. He sat cross-legged on another futon.
Baihu stood up, picked up the futon with its mouth, and dragged it to Ye Fan's side. Then, it lay down next to Ye Fan.
It could only sleep soundly when it was next to Ye Fan.
However, at this time, Ye Fan was not in the mood to sleep.
Because in his opinion, everything could be described with the word 'inconceivable'.
A few hours ago, he was still fighting with Matsumoto Takeyoshi's subordinates. He even injured Matsumoto Takeyoshi's right-hand man — — the man in green.
A few hours later, he had become Matsumoto Takeyoshi's guest. He drank tea personally poured by Matsumoto Takeyoshi. Matsumoto Takeyoshi's personal lifeboat. Matsumoto Takeyoshi's ninjas nodded and bowed to him, carefully serving him.
All of this seemed like a dream.
However, Ye Fan knew that if he wanted to save his wife, this was the only way. Just like what Qing Chenzi told him, he had to take advantage of the situation.
To save his wife, there were only two methods. The first method was to help Matsumoto Takeyoshi find the nine cauldrons. Then, let Matsumoto Takeyoshi open the Soul Gathering Evil Cauldron and give him his wife's three souls.
The second method was to find the nine cauldrons, obtain the patterns on the nine cauldrons, and comprehend the ancient soul returning technique. Then, he would summon his wife's three souls from the Soul Gathering Evil Cauldron and return them to her body.
Both methods required him to do the same thing: find the nine cauldrons.
But the world was big and he was alone, where would he find the nine cauldrons?
Right now, there was only one person with the most hope and power to find the nine cauldrons, Matsumoto Takeyoshi!
This person controlled the power of the imperial court, had a large number of experts, and had the support of the Evil God Xie Tian. In the future, finding the nine cauldrons was not impossible.
Now, the plan was to take advantage of Matsumoto Takeyoshi using his wife's soul to threaten him. Then, he would use Matsumoto Takeyoshi's power to find the nine cauldrons. This way, not only would he have the chance to gather the patterns of the nine cauldrons and study the secret technique, he could also openly monitor Matsumoto Takeyoshi's every move. He would get the news of the nine cauldrons as soon as possible and complete the responsibility of protecting the inscriptions on the nine cauldrons! Only in this way could he truly eliminate all future troubles, accumulate great merit, and completely change his and his wife's bitter fate!
The reason why he frowned in front of Matsumoto Takeyoshi was to make Matsumoto Takeyoshi think that he was forced to help him find the cauldrons.
"Chiko, bless me." Ye Fan silently prayed in his heart, "Bless me to find the nine cauldrons as soon as possible, save you from your suffering, and reunite as husband and wife."
