"We'll reach shore tomorrow, and you'll be safe then. But there are many people aboard and all sorts of complications. You two had best stay in your room and not wander about," Steward Kong said.
"We won't cause you any trouble, Senior. Thank you so much for this. Once we return to the Central Plains, we'll be sure to tell our elders and properly thank you for saving our lives," Zhao Yunhui said hurriedly.
"You're too kind. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. There's no need to dwell on it. Get some rest." With that, Steward Kong left.
