When Bai Jin Six Eyes, Qian Renxue was buying two boat tickets at the Dock.

The ticket seller looked at the itinerary she quoted, then glanced down at their meager luggage, and reminded her that the ship sailed along the coast, not out to sea, and wouldn't speed things up for passengers along the way.

"I'll take this one." Qian Renxue paid the fare.

Bai Jin stood beside her, picked up his luggage, and waited for the waiter to hand him the tickets. The man glanced at him again, seemingly thinking that this blindfolded person might not be able to walk steadily, and kindly pointed to the location of the plank.

"Slow down, that rope on the right is a tripping hazard."

Thank you.

Bai Jin untangled the rope and led Qian Renxue onto the boat.

Three months had passed since their marriage. The imperial army retreated to the border, the Spirit Hall Branch resumed the awakening process for the children, the wounded soldiers returned home one after another, and merchant ships from both countries once again entered the coastal ports.

After Qian Renxue had arranged the political affairs that could be handed over and left a route for returning in case of emergency, she went out with Bai Jin.

They could have gone faster, but they chose the ordinary people's boat.

As the boat departed from the shore, Bai Jin sat on the railing, watching several children wave to their relatives on the shore. A little boy next to him stared at the strip of cloth on his forehead for a long time, and finally couldn't help but lean over and ask him why he didn't take it off.

I don't want to look any longer.

"If you can't see, you'll fall."

"Someone is holding his hand."

Bai Jin pointed to the side, where Qian Renxue was putting the boat tickets into her bag. Upon hearing this, she reached out and pressed down on his shoulder, moving him a little further inside.

The little boy glanced at the two of them, gave them a knowing smile, and then turned and ran to find his companion.

"You're just lying to children like this?" Qian Renxue said.

Which statement is a lie?

Bai Jin opened his hand to her, and she placed her hand in it. The ship sailed past the stone embankment outside the harbor, and the market along the shore gradually fell behind. Six Eyes could still make out the new flag of the military camp in the distance, but all he could hear was the laughter and chatter on the ship.

Before this trip, they had also visited the Worship Hall.

Qian Renxue placed flowers at her grandfather's grave and told him about the ordinary things that happened after their marriage. Bai Jin stood beside her, waiting for her to finish speaking, and then they went together to see the young Soul Master who were recovering from their training. No one regarded the Godhood Inheritance as a door that could be opened repeatedly.

The Reversal of the Bai Jin never brought back a life that had already burned out.

Tang San personally returned to the spot on Sea God Island where Bo Saixi had left her to offer sacrifices. Sea God Island resumed its normal life, and letters from the mainland still had to travel a long distance by sea, and when they could reach the island, they were delivered by the people guarding the shore.

Xiao Wu returned with her companion and was finally able to walk through the forest she once knew so well with Tang San.

She released flowers for her mother and also looked at the newly grown Soul Beast by the river. Tang San didn't urge her to leave; the two stayed there for a while before going to find their companions who had returned to their respective places.

The last letter Bai Jin received was forwarded by Ning Rongrong.

Letters from the Golden Trio, were also left in the courtyard.

Hu Liena told him that the new team of Soul Master on the Northern Front was already able to take turns on duty independently, and Yan finally got to use those few days off, but because he forgot to book a room in advance, he spent half a day looking for one in town. Xie Yue wrote this down on the appendix and specifically asked Qian Renxue not to remind him next time.

Bai Jin drew a simple roof on the blank space of the letter and sent someone to deliver the reply.

The medicine that Dugu Bo sent was also left at home, the bottle placed on the original medicine shelf. He used a few doses of it, and the mental fatigue left by the God War gradually disappeared with rest, and his Level 99 Soul Power finally stabilized.

Now he doesn't need to keep an eye on every boundary at the same time; he can still keep the Six Eyes where they are needed. Before leaving, Qian Renxue asked him if he would still be injured if he encountered that kind of power again.

"The blow you're meant to take, if you don't dodge it, it'll hurt."

After Bai Jin finished speaking, he picked up her luggage and walked towards the door. Qian Renxue didn't ask any more questions, but changed the route they took from the military road to the towns and streets along the river.

There was no military intelligence in the letter. Oscar's shop opened, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing finished up the old business left outside the battlefield. Ma Hongjun still complained that the two of them were running too fast, and that he was always the last to arrive. At the end, he urged Bai Jin to come and have a meal when he had time.

Bai Jin handed the letter to Qian Renxue, who read it and then packed it into his luggage.

Their trip along the coast will happen to pass through two of these places.

As the boat passed through that narrow section of the river mouth in the afternoon, it suddenly rocked.

The sailor looked up ahead and saw that the thick rope on the cargo ship to his left was taut, and one end of the wooden beam hanging high above had come loose. The boatman shouted for them to get out of the way, but the beam fell toward the passenger ship before several children standing by the side of the ship could run away.

Bai Jin raised his hand, and a point of blue light appeared in front of his fingertips.

Cang pulled the wooden beam open into the air, and the other end of the loose rope swept across the deck before being blocked by Limitless in front of the children. Bai Jin gently and steadily placed the wooden beam onto the deserted water, and the sailors busied themselves with furling the sails, finally stabilizing the boat.

The shouting gradually subsided.

The little boy who had asked him the question stared wide-eyed at the wooden beam over the water, then at his still-covered eyes, before finally uttering a question after a long pause.

"You can see it?"

"I had to take a look just now."

The captain rushed over to express his gratitude, Bai Jin waved his hand, telling him to go check if anyone was hurt. The mother next to the little boy hugged her child and thanked him several times. Qian Renxue picked up her scattered luggage and put it back in the cabin.

When the two returned to the side of the ship and sat down, Bai Jin's eye patch had already been examined by the children three times.

"We lost money," he said.

Qian Renxue looked at him.

"How?"

"Those kids asked me to teach them how to catch fish, and they almost couldn't get away."

She laughed as she removed his blindfold and put it back in her luggage, no longer concealing her own golden eyes. The captain brought over a plate of freshly cut fruit and even refunded their ticket money. Bai Jin only took the fruit and put the money back into the other person's hand.

"Next time, use a thicker rope."

The captain agreed earnestly and turned to check the rope on the other side.

The little boy brought over a small fish he had just bought, saying he wanted to treat him to it. Bai Jin looked at the fish, which was barely bigger than his palm, but in the end, he accepted it and handed it to the boat's kitchen staff in exchange for a bowl of hot soup.

He and Qian Renxue together. The little boy watched from the side, and only when he saw that the two of them had actually drunk it did he happily run back to his mother's side.

Qian Renxue returned the empty bowl to the sailor, making room for Bai Jin near the side of the ship. The boat sailed away again from the narrow river mouth, the two of them leaning their shoulders together, without pulling their hands away.

As evening approached, the two disembarked.

The innkeeper in town didn't change the price because of the guests' Soul Power. When he saw them carrying luggage, he asked as usual how many days they would stay and whether they would have dinner together. Bai Jin looked up at the rooms upstairs, but Qian Renxue went to the counter first and chose the one with a view of the river mouth.

"Three days, dinner included."

"Please wait a moment, both of you."

Bai Jin carried his luggage upstairs, opened the window after entering, and saw the same boat from before moored on the river, with the sailors still changing the ropes. Qian Renxue leaned against the window and watched with him for a while, then spread the stamped leave slip on the table.

The dates listed above are enough for them to travel a long way.

"Where are we going tomorrow?" she asked.

Where do you want to go?

There's a lake outside the town. Some people say you can see white birds there in the morning.

"Let's go to the lake. We can still make it back in time for lunch."

Someone knocked on the door downstairs, bringing hot water and dinner. Bai Jin went to bring the food in, and Qian Renxue sat down at the table, first buttoning up their sleeves to prevent them from dripping into the bowls.

The jade clasp on his chest brushed against hers.

"Bai Jin."

"Um?"

"The food isn't cold this time."

Bai Jin sat down next to her, pushed the bowl of hot soup that had just been brought over towards her, and picked up his chopsticks with a smile.

"Eat it while it's hot, madam."

This concludes the book.
