ta ta ta … *
The sound of footsteps could be heard.
Then, the door opened and a woman walked in.
The first reaction Chen Yu had when he saw this woman was weakness.
That's right, she was weak.
Although this woman had a graceful figure and was dressed elegantly, her pale complexion completely lost all of her beauty.
"Awake?!" the woman asked softly.
"Yes." Chen Yu nodded slightly.
"I'll get Elder Huang to bring the boat to the shore and send you off." The woman said indifferently.
"Where is this place?!" Chen Yu asked.
"Qing Shui River." The woman replied.
"Qing Shui River?" Chen Yu was startled for a moment, "Then are you guys going to Qing Bo Lake?!"
"Yes!" The lady looked at Chen Yu curiously, "You want to go to the Clear Wave Lake too?!"
Hearing the woman's reply, Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Is it convenient for you to bring an idle person?!"
"You are a martial artist?!" The woman did not answer directly, but asked a strange question.
"Yes sir!" Chen Yu nodded.
"How strong is he?!" The woman asked again.
"Very strong!" Chen Yu replied.
"I express my doubt …" The woman shook her head, "However, you can stay, but if we meet bandits on the way, you have to help us!"
"No problem." Chen Yu nodded in agreement.
After they reached an agreement, Chen Yu chatted with the woman for a while.
After chatting for a while, Chen Yu found out that the pale-faced, slightly weak woman in front of him was called He Miaomiao, and her father was an elder of a refining sect, the Heavenly Arts Sect.
Although the Celestial Artisan Sect wasn't very strong, they were still considered a prestigious sect due to their dependence on the Royal Sky Sect.
The reason why He Miaomiao asked about Chen Yu's strength was because of the recent news that came from the Qing Bo Lake, that a secret realm had appeared, and that it had attracted countless of warriors to come.
Amongst these martial practitioners, there were all sorts of people. The fish and the dragons mixed together, naturally making the surroundings of the Qing Bo Lake chaotic.
Some practitioners even started to conceal their identities, pretending to be bandits to rob the passing merchants.
Asking Chen Yu how strong he was was was one of He Miaomiao's precautions.
Of course, she was just casually asking, as Chen Yu's appearance was simply too young.
Furthermore, when he saved Chen Yu and was on the boat, He Miaomiao also saw the wounds on Chen Yu's body, if he was truly as strong as he said, how could he have been nearly beaten to death?!
Of course, the other reason He Miaomiao was not worried was because of the other old man on the boat, Old Huang.
This person was a guest official of the He Clan. His strength was already at the peak of the Martial Saint Realm.
The next three days passed.
These three days passed by in a tranquil manner, without any mishaps.
Through their three days of contact, Chen Yu had a rough idea of why He Miaomiao had such a haggard expression.
It turned out that every day, besides the three meals time, he would come out to get some fresh air, and the rest of the time, He Miaomiao would lock himself up in his cabin, doing nothing.
Chen Yu had scouted He Miaomiao's body condition before, so this girl should not have trained in any martial skills, and with her Innate physique and long period of fatigue, she was able to turn pale white. Although it was not a serious illness, but this type of exhaustion was still the hardest to treat.
Chen Yu would occasionally try to persuade him, but He Miaomiao only laughed it off, and at the same time expressed his strong doubts about Chen Yu's words.
As for Elder Huang, Chen Yu had a nagging feeling that this person was always sinister. Looking at his eyes, it felt like he was guarding against thieves, that kind of feeling as if his own family's cabbage had been pounced on by a pig.
The night was clear and the new moon curved.
On the surface of the river, there was still a faint sense of coldness.
Chen Yu came to the bow of the ship alone, preparing to take a breath of fresh air.
"Elder Huang, are you awake?" Chen Yu greeted lightly.
"I'm going to bed, are you looking at the boat?!" Elder Huang replied bluntly.
"There aren't many boats on the surface of the river. Furthermore, we are going with the flow, so we should be able to see the direction of the boats. Are you trying to trick me …" Chen Yu said as his mouth twitched.
"What if we meet a water bandit?" Elder Huang said with a snort.
"We're almost at the area of the Qing Bo Lake. You must know that it's the territory of the Xu family and the Royal Heaven Sect. That water thief is so blind, how dare he cause trouble here?!" Is he courting death?! "
Elder Huang did not reply to Chen Yu. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the kitchen cabin: "Go, bring the Yellow Fish Soup in the kitchen to Miss."
"Yellow Fish Soup, what a great tonic." Chen Yu laughed sinisterly: "I see that Miss He's body is unable to bear the pain anymore, why don't you give it to me?"
"Scram!" Elder Huang said as he stared at Chen Yu.
"I'm not lying to you. Miss He's body, after years of hard work, her foundation is already weak. Even if she were to reverse the day and night, her body would still turn into mud. This kind of virtual illness can only be cured, not mended. If it is mended heavily, it will only have the opposite effect …"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Elder Huang felt that Chen Yu's words were a little reasonable, so he casually asked.
"First of all, I have to make her change her habits. Even if I can't do anything about it, it's useless giving her an elixir." Chen Yu shook his head.
Elder Huang pondered for a long time before looking at the brightly lit study room, "Go and talk to the young lady."
"This... In the dead of night, it's not suitable for a man to be alone with a woman, right? " Chen Yu muttered to himself.
"This old man is not blind. After getting along with you for the past few days, this old man has finally seen through you. You are not an ungrateful person!" Elder Huang said with a faint smile.
Hearing Elder Huang's evaluation of him, the unhappiness in Chen Yu's heart these days, gradually disappeared.
He could feel that although Elder Huang and He Miaomiao weren't related by blood, but Elder Huang truly treated He Miaomiao as his own grandson.
As an old man who was unfamiliar with him, Elder Huang naturally had to be on his guard.
Lightly opening the study room's door, Chen Yu saw He Miaomiao sitting in front of the desk, frowning at the drawing in front of him.
After a long while, she realised that Chen Yu was standing behind her.
"Chen Yu, why did you come in?!" He Miaomiao asked curiously.2
"A long night without sleep. Seeing that the lights are still on here, I wanted to come in and chat with you …"
With that said, Chen Yu sat down in front of He Miaomiao, blocking her gaze from looking at the blueprint.
He Miaomiao had a pure heart, how could he not know what Chen Yu was here for? He shook his head and laughed: "Your injuries have just started to heal, it's better if you rest early, I'm almost done here …"
Saying that, He Miaomiao once again looked at the map in front of him.
