The sound of waves woke Gu Yunxi from her deep sleep.

The bed curtain was exquisite, and the faint sunlight fell on the purple silk. The dappled light and shadow highlighted the figures of a few carved hibiscus flowers on the window frames faintly.

Gu Yunxi got out of bed in doubt, looked around, and found that the furnishings in the small room were luxurious.

Where was she? What happened before?

The girl closed her eyes, furrowed her brows, and hit her groggy head with her fists, searching every memory segment in her brain quickly.

The door opened. Someone walked in in dark black clothes, followed by a damp and fresh cool breeze flowing into the small room.

Gu Yunxi was stunned, staring blankly at the facial features of the visitor.

"...Master?"

When she exclaimed in surprise, she suddenly remembered all the past.

Didn't the man in front of her have already been ordered to battle in Southern Jiang? And after she had changed into her true appearance, she followed Cheng Wanli and some other colleagues in the Eastern Depot to take the eastward ferry to Kunhuang Island.

So how could she meet the Master at this time? Where were they at this time?

"Master... Is the war in Southern Jiang over?"

Gu Yunxi tilted her head and asked suspiciously.

The man was not in a hurry to reply but fixed his eyes on her deeply and quietly, sweeping over every inch of her pretty facial features without any obvious surprise. His eyes were so cold without any temperature.

Gu Yunxi didn't notice anything strange. Stared at by the person who got along with her day and night, she just looked down shyly, feeling delighted secretly. The Master must be attracted by her true appearance beside himself.

After a while, he still kept silent. The girl was a little bit aggrieved and dissatisfied, saying to herself,

"Master, no matter how happy you are, how can you not say a word to me after we have been apart for so long?"

"Why, why do you keep staring at me?"

Looking up, she saw that he still gazed at her shy face deeply. She pouted, complaining slightly.

"Why do you always stare at me? The medical sage and Imperial Doctor Jiang just helped me change back to my previous appearance. Don't you recognize me?"

The man frowned with his hands crossed behind.

Strong internal strength drew Gu Yunxi in front of the man. Her exquisite body fell into his arms heavily.

"Master?"

She leaned against his chest and raised her head slowly, looking at his handsome eyes and brows in surprise. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her flustered face looked extremely charming and adorable.

She knew well that his internal strength had reached the point of perfection, but she also knew that he never abused it, let alone to abuse her.

He watched her aggrieved eyes silently and moved his lips coldly then,

"How about you? Do you recognize me?"

He asked suddenly in a hoarse and dull voice that was different from his low and attractive voice before.

The girl blinked and looked concerned,

"Master, what's wrong with your voice?"

Her fingertips touched the back of the man's hand, and then her whole body shuddered. She withdrew her hand suddenly.

The Master's palm was as cold as ice, which made her suspicious secretly.

"What are you watching? Don't you recognize me?"

The man smiled slightly, his expression showing a hint of indifference.

Gu Yunxi examined the man’s facial features carefully and replied,

"You... You are the Master. Master, are you okay? Why are your hands so cold?"

He coughed, raised his eyebrows indifferently, and said,

"Not a big deal. I was poisoned in Southern Jiang by miasma, and I just recovered not long ago."

"I see..."

She watched the changes in his expression closely with her eyes and answered softly, but she was still suspicious in her heart.

"Didn't you go to Southern Jiang? Where are we now? How did we meet each other?"

"The war in Southern Jiang is over. I met your fleet when I took a boat back along the original way..."

"What? It's impossible!"

Gu Yunxi was astonished. Before the man finished his words, she exclaimed,

"The Eastern Depot was ordered to go to Kunhuang Island first. How could we sail on your channel?"

The man smiled indifferently,

"You encountered a storm at sea. The main ship caught fire and deviated from the course. When I found you, you were in a coma because you inhaled too much smoke. It is understandable that you cannot remember what happened before."

Gu Yunxi's face turned pale when she heard it, and she asked anxiously,

"Are the captains and Chiliarch Cheng okay now?"

A gleam of light flashed past the man's black eyes. He showed a cold smile,

"Don't worry. They are okay. They are nursing their health in another boat now."

"I see... It's great..."

Stared at by a pair of cold eyes, Gu Yunxi felt her back inexplicably tight. She raised her little hands to grasp the chest of her upper shirt unnaturally and shrank her white neck.

Meeting again after more than a hundred days, they should have been affectionate. But at this time, the two of them seemed to be separated by a layer of frost and snow, and the atmosphere was weird between them!

Although he was smiling, she still felt he was too cold to be approached.

Was it an illusion or was she too sensitive?

This person in front of her... Was he really the Master?

While she was trying to figure out her doubts, her body was pushed back violently by him.

Gu Yunxi didn't have time to resist and she stepped back until her lower back touched the hard edge of the table.

Her jaw ached, feeling piercing coldness.

The man clamped her chin with two fingers, and lifted her head abruptly.

"Master..."

Gu Yunxi's eyes turned red with pain. She called him aggrievedly, and grasped the corner of the table with her trembling fingers.

The man chuckled lightly and his eyes looked sharp. His facial features looked a bit ferocious in the backlight,

"How dare you get out of the capital after changing your appearance?"

It seemed that the Master was greatly annoyed by her unauthorized actions.

Gu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, laughing at her absurd idea just now secretly. She should have suspected that the handsome man in front of her was not the Master!

She opened her lips slightly which moved with difficulty under the restraint of his hard fingers,

"It was said that you would come to Wei Sea first when you came back from Southern Jiang. I just wanted to see you earlier..."

"Humph, you couldn't stand loneliness after I went to Southern Jiang, so you were so anxious to see me?"

He paused in the middle with a weird expression, as if he was suppressing some unspeakable emotion in his heart forcibly.

"Besides that, I also want to avenge Lanxin. The masked man in Mount Yin sneaked into the Eastern Depot and killed Lanxin. I have to avenge my good sister!"

"What are you talking about?"

The man let go of the girl slowly.

She leaned against the square table and rubbed her red chin, glancing at him sadly,

"Master, please don't be angry. The man sent me to the Palace to find the Kunhuang Island map but I failed. Now the Eastern Depot's carrying the real map and the secret key to cruise Kunhuang Island will inevitably attract the surviving rebellious supporters in Mount Yin. I want to kill him with my own hands to avenge Lanxin! "

At the end of the talk, she said in a trembling and sobbing tone.

The man rolled his eyes and asked sternly,

"Are you so sure that your sister was killed by that man?"

Gu Yunxi rubbed her eyes, saying angrily,

"Of course. Prince Chen was present at that time, and he told me that personally!"

"Prince Chen?"

The man was stunned, and then he laughed loudly. He turned cold again after a moment,

"Do you believe that fool?"

"I believe him!" Gu Yunxi nodded firmly, "He is a fool, but he never lies."

He turned silent suddenly, approached her, and raised his arms to hug her.

His cold eyes suddenly turned deep with scorching warmth in them,

"Are you sure that you are a match for him? Have you forgotten who taught you kungfu?"

The girl raised her head, saying determinedly,

"Of course. His opponent is me. Don't help me then!"

"Haha..."

The man showed a faint smile and picked up the girl suddenly with an ambiguous light in his eyes,

"You make me want to sleep with you right now. What should I do?"

The desire seemed to surge a bit suddenly.

Gu Yunxi didn't make any sound, allowing him to walk forward. She stared blankly at the bed which was closer and closer to them, her heartbeat speeding up like a drum.

She held the man's neck with her slender arms tightly, feeling so nervous. She stammered,

"Master, Master, didn't, didn't you say... Didn't you say you won’t do it until our wedding night..."

He stopped at the head of the bed, showing an evil smile with the outer corners of his eyes raising wilfully,

"You are on the pirate ship now. You can't escape."
