"Is it the Fifth Prince of Sheng Dynasty, Beiming Yi?"

Shui Yixuan observed from afar: "No, that was before. Just a month ago, he was conferred as Prince Yi."

"Is he also on this ship? Could it be that he’s heading to Lanyue?" Although asking, the truth was clear in his heart; they were bound to cross paths.

"Let’s go. If we don’t leave today, the next ship won’t be for another three days. It’s unnecessary. Since he’s pretending not to see us, we shall pretend not to notice them either."

Due to the tight schedule, horses and horse carriages were taken by the people from the villa’s branch office. Each of them carried part of the luggage, boarding the ship in grand fashion. Only upon reaching the cabin did they realize that all fifteen of them were assigned to the same floor as Beiming Yi’s group, and their numbers were quite similar.

"Brother, do you know what he looks like?" The description in the original work differed somewhat from reality; she only knew he was handsome but not what kind of handsome. Curious, she couldn’t help but ask Shui Yixuan.

It turns out our Young Master Runyu didn’t know either. "Actually, I’ve not had much contact with Beiming Yi. I only know that due to poisoning, he can’t stand. For this poison, he hasn’t stopped visiting Wind Valley all these years. Whatever the reason it can’t be cured, grandpa advised not to meddle. I reckon there’s definitely a great secret hidden there. Speaking of which, his personal experiences are quite admirable, deserving to be called a young talent. After being framed at eighteen, no one has seen him again nor has he appeared in public."

"Rumors about him exist in various versions among the people; one says he often wears a golden mask. Despite having a leg disability, he hasn’t forgotten to assist the poor, earning quite a reputable name, which is deserved. I can testify to this, as during the Earth Dragon’s upheaval, I collaborated with him for a period."

"This person hides deeply. With my Holy Water Manor’s abilities, what we could investigate and find valuable was very minimal!"

...

Before boarding, Jiang Xue hadn’t thought much. After boarding, she vomited until her world spun. Left with no choice, she emerged from the cabin to the deck because the ship was swaying heavily after departing. She couldn’t control her body, stumbling all over.

Meanwhile, Shui Yixuan was having a meeting with Shier Mu in the cabin, and Zi Su was preparing anti-nausea medicine for her. She was alone on the deck. Although the sea view was nice, the feeling of stomach acids churning was exceedingly unpleasant. After finally vomiting it all out, her mouth grew dry and parched from the chill sea breeze. She wanted to retreat into the space to feel grounded again.

Who would have thought that when she turned around, she’d catch sight of Beiming Yi’s wheelchair ascending to the deck, drawing her frequent attention to the face behind the golden mask until the two guards beside him sensed her gaze. She reluctantly withdrew her gaze, rubbed her ears, stomped her feet, and descended into the cabin, only for a big wave to strike, causing the ship to sway violently. Poor Jiang Xue rolled from above to below, staggered, dizzy, and even saw stars, finding herself in a bizarre posture calling out in pain in the cabin.

It was Zi Su who heard her cries and came out, and seeing her mistress in such a pitiful, sprawling state, she couldn’t help but laugh, but her professional composure forced her to hold it back.

Jiang Xue sustained a fracture. Terrified by her fragility, she wondered, could she fracture from just a fall? Luckily, everyone knew medicine. When Shui Yixuan learned about it, he carried her back to the cabin in a princess carry. Amid her screams, the dislocated bone was set back in place; the fractured bone, however, wasn’t so fortunate—it was wrapped, meaning within the month of traveling to Lanyue, she might be unable to move.

Due to an ankle fracture, she couldn’t get out of bed to walk, which greatly annoyed Jiang Xue. Initially seasick, her head seemed even dizzier after the fall. Though life in the cabin was warm, being unable to go on deck to breathe fresh air, her inability to restrain her youthful tantrums was unleashed.

Shui Yixuan watched Jiang Xue’s tantrum with surprise, momentarily doubting whether he was seeing a false appearance. For the past six months of interaction, he came to realize her extraordinary self-control, maturity, and self-discipline, to the point where he admired her greatly. And now, with a single fracture, it seemed to squeeze out her youthful stubbornness?

Seeing her refuse to eat due to lack of appetite, they patiently coaxed her, only for her to erupt in anger unexpectedly; truthfully, they were all stunned.
