From beginning to end, the man never looked back.
The man's gaffe was only looked at by some people who loved to watch the excitement, and he was quickly lost in more important matters without making any waves.
Gu Huai drifted back to his room like a ghost, forgetting all the things behind him and not thinking about them.
He had too many things to worry about, and a guy who didn't know what provocation was was not enough to arouse his attention.
He just felt...a little bored.
The enemy in hot pursuit, the long journey, the unfamiliar place and the companions who didn't know life or death, everything was like a heavy stone pressing on his chest, telling him not to move, and he didn't dare to move easily.
This was the most difficult moment Gu Huai had ever experienced since he was born. Even though he was seriously ill and unable to truly enter cultivation decades before his life, it never made him feel as weak or even tired as he does today.
He is too tired.
Gu Huai was originally just a young master, with excellent qualifications and high understanding. He belonged to a powerful family and was a direct descendant of the master's family. He was not supposed to have to endure these disasters, but he went through them all in just over a year.
He thought he had nothing to do with it. After all, people have come through this way. They will remember the pain when they are beaten, and they will learn lessons after encountering difficulties. Gu Huai thought that he would gradually accept and get used to this kind of thing.
But this kind of training was too painful and painful, and the overwhelming malice defeated him almost instantly. In order to cover him, the person next to him fell first. Without even giving him a chance to open his mouth, that person paid the price in blood for his willfulness.
He could no longer ignore his role in the matter. If he hadn't been trying to escape something that he knew he knew, and the other party had taken advantage of it, things wouldn't have developed like this, and Xiaozhou wouldn't have had to... Gu Huai covered his eyes, covering up the flash of tears. go.
But this is not the time for him to relax, and he shouldn't even mourn fearlessly here. If Xiaozhou sacrificed like this just to get a few crocodile tears from him, it would be too unworthy.
What the other party wants, what he hopes to see most, is that he can survive and return to his grandfather safely and alive.
Then he would pay those people himself, for the boat and for himself.
Covering his eyes, Gu Huai suppressed the murderous intent, coldness and deeply hidden sadness, and replaced them with eyes that were as bland as lifeless.

"It is said that an adult held a banquet and invited most of the passengers on this ship. It should be much cleaner today..." The slightly deep male voice seemed to be saying to someone.
The content of the words made the somewhat absent-minded young man turn his head and look.
The thin female cultivator was followed by a tall and powerful young cultivator... The other cultivator must have at least a golden elixir cultivation level, and he slowly walked towards the direction of the board.
The two of them are very close to each other, and they seem to have a good relationship, but there is a sense of hierarchical distance between them. It seems that there is a certain subordinate relationship and they are not equal.
Gu Huai's steps paused.
At this time, the whole ship seemed to shake due to hitting something. The girl seemed to be in some physical condition and accidentally stepped on the air. Fortunately, she was pulled by the person next to her and stood up.
"Be careful." The young man frowned, his tone slightly stagnant.
The girl looked a little embarrassed, shook her head, and spoke in a low voice. Then the two of them continued walking up.
When she was about to disappear into the lift, the girl looked back inadvertently, and unexpectedly met his eyes.
A trace of doubt suddenly flashed across the other party's eyes. He was stunned for a moment, nodded to him subconsciously, and disappeared into the lift shortly after.
The young man looked expressionlessly for a while, looked away, and then slowly continued walking towards the room.
"What's wrong?" Zhenjun Yuanheng asked a little strangely.
He didn't notice Ning Xia turning around just now, but when he got on the deck, he saw Ning Xia looking thoughtful, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. This... reminds me of something strange again?
Ningxia shook her head.
It's not a big deal, maybe it's just her misunderstanding. She always felt that the person she just passed by was inexplicably familiar. Can't tell you the specific reason?
However, given the vastness of the world of cultivation, it is not surprising to run into acquaintances whom we have met several times before.
In fact, the strange feeling at that moment was closer to a trivial feeling, and it did not bring any sense of crisis to Ningxia. Therefore, what happened just now did not leave any trace in Ningxia's heart, and he immediately started chatting with the disguised Zhenjun Yuanheng.
Speaking of whether Zhenjun Yuanheng did it intentionally or not, he must have punished her for her previous indiscretion, which completely exposed her fragile psychological quality, so now he took the opportunity to "match the code" with her when there were few people.
He used "code words" to make peace, regardless of whether she understood or not, and just started chatting with her.
Ah, hey, don’t think I didn’t hear that you were laughing at me for being stupid, openly or secretly!

With Gu Huai's current situation, naturally no one invited him to the banquet hosted by the so-called big shot.
As the saying goes, hierarchy is reflected everywhere. Even if they are all distinguished guests invited by the fifth family, they are still different.
A weak monk like Gu Huai who didn't know where he got such benefits was naturally no more important than the delicate young ladies from aristocratic families.
The servant of the fifth family who was accompanying him on this ship knew this kind of thing best. They will give the best position to the respectable adults, and they can only serve the best.
And a guy like Gu Huai, who appeared out of nowhere and was obviously weak in cultivation, was naturally not taken seriously and was placed in the most inconspicuous corner. So as not to bump into other "noble people".
In fact, Ningxia was also treated in this category originally. However, Zhenjun Yuanheng's aura was too strong. Even though he had provided a relatively tight cover, the people on the ship still came to the conclusion that this pair was not easy to mess with. So the two people in Ningxia still got a relatively medium-sized room.
Gu Huai was a little miserable. Perhaps the number of people invited this time exceeded the list, and the rooms were not arranged enough. Even the corner rooms, which have been out of use for many years, are used for entertaining.
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but this room was more like a servant's room than a room for entertaining guests. Looking at this location, it is really possible.
This may be the revenge of those servants of greedy forces on the man who never gave them half a reward.
If it were another person who was treated like this, they might have started a riot a long time ago. However, at this moment, Gu Huai had no time to take care of this matter.
This place has been a good resting place for him who has been exhausted all the time.
Anything else is false, not worth getting angry about, or even attracting unnecessary attention.
It's good to have an obscure place like this.
