Discovery of a Clue

Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue sat in lounge chairs on the back of the Sea Turtle, discussing the crises they might encounter at Medicine King Valley this time.

Unfortunately, after thinking for a long while, neither of them could figure out what force Medicine King Valley had encountered this time, or why they would be kidnapped and controlled.

The only things written in the letter they had received were the three Chinese characters for sea, danger, and control.

Back then, Jiang Liu had merely told Uncle Hai that if they needed help or were in danger, they should use Chinese to send a message.

Uncle Hai probably had not dared to write the situation too clearly, or perhaps he had been afraid the message would be intercepted and deciphered, causing an even greater crisis.

Thus, he had only given the messenger those three characters and had him pass them along.

It seemed that only by hurrying to Li Province and finding the messenger could they learn the details.

"Husband, don't worry! Since they were still able to send out a message, I believe the situation hasn't reached its worst yet." Seeing Jiang Liu's tightly furrowed brows, Gongsun Haoyue reached out and gently smoothed them, consoling him.

Jiang Liu took Gongsun Haoyue's small hand in his, nodded, and said, "It's fine. I understand."

Afterward, the two leaned against each other and watched the sunset. Watching the sun go down from the back of a moving Sea Turtle did have its own unique charm.

Since getting married, the two of them had not had many chances to spend time alone like this.

So no matter how anxious Jiang Liu felt inside, he did not want to spoil Gongsun Haoyue's enjoyment.

After the sun had completely set, Jiang Liu began preparing roasted meat.
