The sky over the rivers and lakes is very clear

Chapter 307

On the fifteenth of August, when Zhu Huihui, Zhu Liuyue, and Zhu Huahua, the three "Zhus," arrived on the island, it was nearly noon. If the Chinese and Japanese pirates had started their battle early in the morning, they would have been fighting on the island for half a day by now!

Zhu Huihui didn't mean to be late. She arrived at the beach very early, but she could only stare blankly at the sea—she had no money in her pocket and no boat was willing to take them out to sea.

Damn! Now I know why those five idiots robbed for money! If she'd known she couldn't go to sea without money, she would have gone robbed with them!

However, fate occasionally showed her a kind hand. As she was cursing at the sea, a small boat flew by. The people on board clasped their hands in greeting and asked her if she was going to Huanglong Island.

After she answered "yes", the boatman immediately bowed and invited them onto the boat, rowing them to safety.

At first, Zhu Huihui thought it was because of her good character, but when she got on the boat, she learned that the boatman was actually the deputy head of a hall under Tianshui Island. He had met "Haoyue Liuxia" Liu Yue Gongzi before, so when he saw them standing on the beach looking worried, he immediately came to pick them up.

Zhu Huihui felt very bored after hearing this—after all that fuss, it turned out that the other party was only doing it because of Brother Liu Yue's reputation, and it had nothing to do with his own character or even half a copper coin.

She felt very hurt, so she pretended not to care and told the boatman that she knew Fang Jianwu, as well as Fang Andi, Xi Yeyan and Yan Shenhan, the young masters of the four great families, who were all her buddies!

The boatman was indeed greatly surprised. Although he didn't quite believe this little girl who was so dirty she looked like a ghost, he didn't dare to look down on her—after all, standing next to her was indeed Young Master Liu Yue, whose reputation was no less than that of the young masters of the four great families!

Seeing the boatman's gaze, Zhu Huihui felt extremely smug. These days, if you don't brag, people won't know how amazing you are!

As the boatman rowed, he spoke, saying that the Chinese martial arts world was fully prepared for the battle of Huanglong Island. The maritime defense line and supply line were arranged in an orderly manner, and there would be no repeat of the scene more than ten years ago when the heroes of Giant Whale Island were ambushed, their reinforcements were blocked, and they were almost assassinated by Japanese pirates!

Zhu Huihui listened with "Oh, oh, ah," completely clueless about matters of troop deployment and strategic planning!

After listening to the boatman's ramblings all the way, we finally arrived at our destination. There, in the blue waves, lay a solitary, scorched-yellow island. The island's two sides were steep cliffs, and the sky seemed to be cut into a narrow line, making it look extremely precipitous.

Between the two walls, a black, narrow mountain road winds its way into the depths of the canyon.

After Zhu Huihui disembarked, she thanked the boatman and immediately headed along the mountain path—the advantage of having only one path was that she never had to worry about getting lost.

Zhu Liuyue and Zhu Huahua followed behind, each carrying a bundle containing drinking water and food—of course, Zhu Huihui hadn't bothered to prepare these things; the boatman had provided them. Because there was no fresh water on the island, everyone had to bring their own.

After walking along the mountain road for about half an hour, the terrain suddenly opened up ahead. In the distance, Zhu Huihui could see a group of people on the mountainside platforms on both sides.

What first caught her eye were the Japanese people to the west. Mainly because their hair and clothing were so strange, it made the naive Zhu Huihui laugh.

Then, her gaze fell on the crowd on the east side, and she immediately spotted the handsome young man sitting cross-legged on the rock. His handsome face, his warm eyes, his snow-white clothes, his slender long sword... who else could it be but Feng Xuese?

Zhu Huihui's heart skipped a beat. She quickly looked around him and saw Xi Yeyan in fiery red, Fang Jianwu in flowing blue, and Yan Shenhan in ink-black, but she didn't see Chen Muwan. She felt both happy and disappointed.

She was somewhat puzzled, not knowing what she was so happy about, but she knew what was disappointing—the "antidote" wasn't there! She thought she was going to find a chance to take a few bites out of her!

Just as he thought of the "antidote," he turned around and found Mr. Chen and Mrs. Wan sitting gracefully behind the crowd, while the "antidote" he had been longing for was nestled shyly beside Mrs. Wan, looking frail and delicate.

The "antidote" and his wife are being so intimate, it's absolutely nauseating!

Zhu Huihui was incredibly jealous, and a sudden, inexplicable resentment weighed heavily on her heart, making her feel uncomfortable just now!

She suddenly hated this "antidote" and immediately made up her mind: the "antidote" had better pray to Buddha for protection so that she wouldn't get a chance to bite it, otherwise what might have been a simple matter of biting a finger would turn into biting half an arm...

By the way, everyone else's parents are here, but where is my good-for-nothing mother?

Thinking of Yu Xiaoyao, she became worried again. She knew that her husband and wife were her biological parents, but in her heart, she always felt closer to Yu Xiaoyao. This wasn't just because Yu Xiaoyao had raised her, but also because her own mother was a pariah, extremely unpopular, and also suffered from illness.

My poor mother. In this world, besides myself and Brother Liuyue, I'm afraid there is no third person who will love her and miss her.

But the husband and wife had everything: healthy bodies, beautiful faces, the respect of the world, their not-so-bright but obedient daughter, Mu-guniang, and their clever but disobedient daughter, me…

Sigh! Why is the world so unfair?

Zhu Huihui complained as she walked forward. After turning a bend in the mountain, she saw two people fighting in an open space ahead. One was dressed as a Japanese and held a slightly curved steel sword, while the other was a Chinese hero who carried a pair of short guns.

The two men were exchanging blows in the open space, sometimes spinning around, sometimes standing still. She watched for a while, but since she couldn't understand them and didn't recognize either of them, she stopped paying attention.

Suddenly, a gruff voice called out from above: "Hey, girl, come up here!"

Everyone present was focused on watching the battle, but this shout drew all their attention to Zhu Huihui.

Zhu Huihui looked up and saw five large heads popping out from the rocky platform. It was Qi Yunwu. He thought to himself that money really makes things easier. It seemed that they had robbed him but not killed him, and they had arrived much earlier than him.

Feng Xuese looked down at Zhu Huihui and was taken aback: Why is this child here? Then she saw Zhu Liuyue following closely beside Huihui and her expression changed slightly.

Zhu Liuyue came too! He was actually with that confused child!

He rose up and floated down from the rock like a light cloud, reaching out to pull her: "Grey Grey, come here!"

Just as his fingers touched Zhu Huihui's wrist, he suddenly felt a glimpse of an apricot-colored sleeve pierce into a vital acupoint beneath his ribs. He was already on guard, and slightly shifted his body, allowing Zhu Liuyue's hand to pass through his side.

Feng Xuese flicked his five fingers, aiming at the acupoints on Zhu Liuyue's arm, while simultaneously concealing a powerful follow-up move. Unexpectedly, Liuyue did not retaliate. After forcing him away with a palm strike, she took a step back and returned to Zhu Huihui's side.

Feng Xue stared at him intently and said coldly, "Brother Liu Yue, in the last battle, the outcome was not yet decided, and you left. Now, shall we have another match?"

Speaking of this matter, even with his broad-mindedness, he felt extremely frustrated.

That night under the moon, after he revealed Zhu Liuyue's other identity, the two officially began their battle. To be fair, Zhu Liuyue was indeed a formidable opponent, not only proficient in Chinese martial arts but also well-versed in Japanese martial arts; these two styles were uniquely integrated into his own. Therefore, I was truly looking forward to this battle!

At the start of the duel, both fighters went all out, and although neither gained the upper hand, the fight was exhilarating and incredibly satisfying. However, after taking a blow from his own palm, Liu Yue gracefully retreated, laughing and saying that he had suddenly remembered an unfulfilled wish, so he would leave for now and return later to exchange blows. Then he turned and left. He chased after her with all his might, and the two pursued each other for hundreds of miles throughout the night. At dawn, they chased her into Qixing County, but in the end, she managed to blend into the crowd and escape.

It turns out that Liu Yue's so-called wish refers to Huihui!

Liu Yue seemed not to hear his words, standing beside Zhu Huihui with her eyes lowered, remaining silent.

Feng Xuese gave a cold laugh and said, "Brother Liu Yue's wish has now been fulfilled, so, may you keep your promise?"

He never told anyone about the fact that Liu Yue was Kazama Yoru, because he had promised to pursue Liu Yue until he found her—even though Liu Yue was just a pawn.

In truth, he had already guessed who was hiding behind Liu Yue. This person had an excellent reputation both in and out of the court, but unexpectedly harbored rebellious intentions. Although Liu Yue refused to admit it, she knew that the truth could not be hidden from Feng Xuese, which was why she insisted that everything be settled with him.
