Wang Mengde steered his spirit skiff eastward.
He stood at the bow, his legs slightly apart, steady as a mountain.
He used the Spirit Eye Technique at full power, scanning his surroundings.

Only a few days had passed since his last trip out to sea.
If Qin Xiangbei had received word, he might have come after him.
Qin Xiangbei had reportedly been away from Rosy Cloud Island for a full six months. Wang Mengde was unsure whether he had reached seventh-level Qi Refinement.
