Han Yue Misses Master

Meanwhile, aboard the distant Zhenzhu Hao, Ye Han Yue sat cross-legged at the bow with her eyes half-closed, playing one beautiful melody after another.

Moonlight shone upon Ye Han Yue as her tranquil, peaceful music drifted like feathers through the windows of people's hearts, sending ripples across their souls. The keys trembled softly, carrying a wondrous melody that soothed the spirit and the gentleness of moonlight. Every note was wrapped in gauze-like moonlight as it lightly fell upon the crew members' hearts, soothing away all the unhappiness they had accumulated during this time and bringing them an aura of peace and serenity.

Many small sea soul beasts had gathered around the ship. They circled the Zhenzhu Hao without agitation or attacking it, simply listening to the calming and peaceful music.

These melodies made the crew within the cabins forget all the hardships they had suffered at sea these past days. They had been frightened and anxious, but the music soothed their panicked hearts and led them into sweet dreams.

The final piece carried an intense longing. Whether the crew members were already resting or still at work, an extremely important and dearly missed person appeared in their dreams and minds.

After the final note faded, Ye Han Yue opened her eyes and slowly gazed into the distance, her heart filled with longing for Master, whom she had not seen for several days.

"Master, I miss you so much."

"How have you been these past few days?"

"I'll reach that island tomorrow."

"Will you not be there?"

"You'll definitely be there. You promised me."

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Just as Ye Han Yue gazed into the distance and missed Master, applause came from behind her, followed by a doubtful yet somewhat certain voice. "Miss Ye Han Yue, your music is truly beautiful. And during that final piece... were you thinking about your master?"

Ye Han Yue turned around and saw that Zi Zhenzhu was standing behind her. She did not answer Zi Zhenzhu's question, merely turning back in silence to continue gazing at the bright moon over the sea.

Zi Zhenzhu did not care much about Ye Han Yue's attitude. She walked to the bow and sat beside her, asking with a gossipy expression, "Do you like your master?"

Ye Han Yue had excellent self-control. Even after her innermost thoughts had been exposed, her expression barely changed. She simply said coldly, "That's none of your business."

Seeing Ye Han Yue's indifferent appearance, Zi Zhenzhu became even more excited. She found the idea of a disciple liking her master very interesting. Besides, Ye Han Yue had worn that same cold expression these past few days. Other than eating and sleeping, she simply sat at the bow and played the piano. Zi Zhenzhu wanted to see what she looked like when her expression changed.

"Hmph, stop trying to fool me."

"These past few days, aside from when you played the piano and showed that longing expression, you haven't shown any other expression at all."

"And rather than an expression of longing, it looks more like the expression of a wife missing her husband, doesn't it?"

"You like your master. Stop denying it."

Listening to Zi Zhenzhu's reasoning, Ye Han Yue's expression finally changed slightly. She quickly regained her composure, but Zi Zhenzhu still noticed. With a giggle, Zi Zhenzhu leaned close to Ye Han Yue's ear and whispered a threat, "If you keep refusing to talk to me, then when I see your master tomorrow, I'll tell him that you like him—that you want to be a rebellious disciple who seduces her master."

Hearing Zi Zhenzhu's threat, Ye Han Yue's expression finally changed. Panicking, she grabbed Zi Zhenzhu's shoulders tightly, a flustered look appearing on her face as she said, "No. You can't."

Seeing Ye Han Yue's panicked expression and feeling the sharp pain in her shoulders, Zi Zhenzhu quickly dropped her gossipy look. "Let go, let go! You're hurting me!"

Ye Han Yue did not release Zi Zhenzhu. She merely insisted, "Promise me first that you won't tell Master. Promise me, and I'll let go."

Zi Zhenzhu felt Ye Han Yue's grip growing increasingly painful and could only say helplessly, "Alright, alright, alright! I promise you, I promise you! Let go already."

Hearing Zi Zhenzhu agree to her request, Ye Han Yue released her hand and once again looked into the distance.

Seeing this, Zi Zhenzhu looked at Ye Han Yue and asked excitedly, "Can you tell me the story between you and your master?"

Ye Han Yue turned to look at Zi Zhenzhu again. Seeing the eager look on her face, she knew that if she did not tell her, Zi Zhenzhu would never let it go. Helplessly, she began to tell the story of herself and Master.

"At that time, my younger brother, younger sister, and I were hunting for our second soul ring in Star Dou Forest. An accident suddenly happened. A soul beast appeared out of nowhere and severely injured the three of us. Then Master appeared and drove that soul beast away."

Hearing this, excitement appeared on Zi Zhenzhu's face. "Wow, a hero saving a beauty!" (✪ω✪)

Annoyed by Zi Zhenzhu's interruption, Ye Han Yue said impatiently, "Do you still want to hear it? If you do, stop interrupting me. Otherwise, I'm not telling you anymore."

Seeing Ye Han Yue's impatient expression, Zi Zhenzhu hurriedly said, "Go on, go on. I absolutely won't interrupt you again."

Seeing this, Ye Han Yue continued, "After that, Master took me alone as a registered disciple."

"Over the years, my feelings for Master did not lessen because of his disappearance. Instead, they only deepened day by day."

"Until a few days ago, Master finally came to see us."

"He saved us from the hands of a powerful enemy."

"When he left, I followed him here without Master's permission."

"When Master saw me, he could only helplessly bring me along."

At this point, Ye Han Yue stopped speaking and continued looking into the distance.

Zi Zhenzhu thought for a while before saying seriously, "If you keep secretly loving him like this, it won't lead to anything in the end."

Hearing Zi Zhenzhu's words, Ye Han Yue did not even turn her head. She continued gazing into the distance as she said, "So what? As long as I like Master, that's enough."

Zi Zhenzhu looked as though she could not bear to see her fail to live up to expectations and continued, "You can just boldly tell him directly."

Ye Han Yue pondered Zi Zhenzhu's words for a moment before saying unhurriedly, "I'm afraid Master will reject me. I'm afraid that if he rejects me, how will I face him afterward? Things are fine as they are now."

After listening to Ye Han Yue, Zi Zhenzhu considered it for a moment and said, "I think your master should be able to sense that you treat him differently. Maybe he sees those feelings as the affection between a master and disciple and has never considered them in terms of a man and a woman."

Hearing Zi Zhenzhu's words, a different light suddenly flashed in Ye Han Yue's eyes.

Seeing this, Zi Zhenzhu continued, "I have a way to solve your current problem. Do you want to hear it?"

Ye Han Yue said nothing, but her gaze had already given Zi Zhenzhu the answer.

Seeing this, Zi Zhenzhu stood up, leaned close to Ye Han Yue's ear, and whispered to her for a while before leaving.

As Zi Zhenzhu walked away, Ye Han Yue's entire face flushed red, her expression still tinged with conflict.

Even after returning to her cabin to rest, Ye Han Yue did not sleep a wink that night. Other than Ye Han Yue and Zi Zhenzhu, no one knew what Zi Zhenzhu had whispered in Ye Han Yue's ear.
