Chapter 1628: Chapter 1628: How to Manage? You’re Managing?
For the sake of the lord, they must fight with all they’ve got. Thankfully, the strong among the secret guards he had entrusted were almost here; as long as they arrived, everything would be fine and even if they encountered Sea Demonic Beasts, they would be able to fight.
He put away the Sea Area Map, and left with the guards.
“Qian Jiyun, An Jiuyue, are you really confident?” Zhan Beiye asked the two with some concern.
He had no objections to fighting and dying with them, but dying needlessly to the fangs of demonic beasts didn’t seem right. He felt that they needed to be more cautious.
“Rest a.s.sured, just wait for the battle,” Qian Jiyun rea.s.sured him, patting his shoulder with a grave voice.
Zhan Beiye: “!!!”
One moment he’s told to rest easy, the next to wait for battle—what does that even mean? Why not just say they would encounter Sea Demonic Beasts?
He glared at Qian Jiyun, shook off his hand, and walked away.
“I’m going to rest, to refresh, energize, and sharpen my mind!
“Heh.”
An Jiuyue watched his retreating figure and couldn’t help but laugh.
“I’ll take you back to rest. What would you like to eat? I’ll make it for you,” Qian Jiyun said as he picked her up, asking softly as they walked.
“I’ve got some chestnuts over there, boil them for me,” An Jiuyue suggested after some thought, knowing she had quite a lot in her s.p.a.ce.
“How about I make you chestnut and cured pork rice, with a clam and egg soup?” Qian Jiyun offered.
“Okay,” An Jiuyue immediately nodded in agreement.
Brother Zhen and the others listened to their conversation and closed their eyes.
They truly felt that Gu Qingyu was courting death. With the way this man doted on his wife, even if she was a G.o.ddess, there was no way to intervene—and yet she boasted shamelessly all by herself.
He finally understood that Qian Jiyun didn’t suspend her from the stern of the ship just because Gu Qingyu had crossed his bottom line.
He did it because he didn’t want the other woman to misunderstand and used such a method to clear up any misconceptions decisively, proving he had no interest in other women whatsoever.
It showed that this man held absolutely no affection for the companions who had traveled with them on this journey.
Forget it, they were only traveling with Qian Jiyun’s group to reach the Zhedu Sea Area. They were not of the same ilk to begin with, and there was no need for any sentimental bonds.
“Brother Zhen, are we really just going to ignore Junior Sister Qingyu?” one junior brother asked in a low voice.
“What can we do about it? Will you take care of it?” Brother Zhen turned his head and looked at him with a questioning gaze.
“Uh.”
The junior brother was momentarily speechless.
“Or should we argue with them on principle? Do we have the capability? That man alone killed so many from the Liushang Sect, how many rounds could we last against him?” Brother Zhen put the question to him again.
If it were them, why bother saying much to those they had no ties with? If they found someone disagreeable, they simply ignored them. If they provoked them, they’d just beat them up—a perfectly normal course of action.
“But Junior Sister Qingyu…”
“Don’t talk to me about her.”
Thrown into the sea twice, yet she still didn’t learn her lesson and expected others to treat her with reverence like an ancestor?
“She can only strut around within the Sect. Outside of it, she’s nothing.”
Gu Qingyu’s grandfather was the Great Elder of their Sect, which is why they, her seniors and juniors, looked after her to some extent. Otherwise, who would care who she was?
