The night was dark and distant. In the pitch-black environment, the old man’s white hair seemed to carry its own glow, making him instantly noticeable.
Yet his face remained unclear.
The sailors shook their heads, "We don’t know!"
With that appearance... In the whole world, with white hair and black clothes, Xiao Jinyan could only think of one person. The State Preceptor Yu Jizi?
Damn, the State Preceptor Yu Jizi?
If he was coming, it was certain that he was here for Jin Zijin.
He felt his cousin was in big trouble and hurriedly told the sailors, "Don’t dock yet, just wait."
After speaking, he rushed into the cabin to inform Jin Zijin of the situation.
Jin Zijin furrowed his brows deeply upon hearing the news and looked at Gu Youyou.
Gu Youyou turned pale. She had a bad feeling that the thing she had been worried about was about to happen.
Over the past few years, Yu Jizi had always been a looming threat, never laying a hand on them. But this time he had shown up in person. Since Yu Jizi was here, he wouldn’t be like the fool Huo Li who would just issue a warning or resort to dirty tricks. So they...
Her heart tightened, and she hurriedly ran up to the gangway. She looked in the direction of the dock but couldn’t see the Yu Jizi the others spoke of. The dock was empty.
At that moment, several sailors on the gangway were whispering to each other in confusion, "Where did that old man go? Hey, how did he disappear?"
"Yeah, he was still here just now. How could he suddenly vanish?"
They rubbed their eyes, finding it hard to believe that a living person could just disappear into thin air.
"Could it be that it’s too dark and we were seeing things?"
"How could that be? His white hair was almost as bright as the moon. I saw it clearly; he was just standing there."
Just now he was standing there, but now the place was empty.
Gu Youyou believed that they hadn’t been mistaken; there really had been someone there just moments ago, and that person must definitely be Yu Jizi.
Because she had witnessed Tian Jizi’s miraculous movements and profound Qinggong back at Qi Mountain.
If Tian Jizi could do it, then Yu Jizi surely could too.
At that time, when Tian Jizi left Gu Youyou’s house, she felt the same as they did now, as if she had been seeing things.
Jin Zijin stood beside Gu Youyou, looking at the deserted dock with a grave expression.
Xiao Jinyan, who had followed out with a knife in his hand, looked puzzled, "I saw him just now, too, how could he be gone?"
He asked the others, "Where did that old man on the dock go?"
Everyone shook their heads, having no idea where the old man had gone.
According to the size of the dock, there should have been at least twenty people stationed here, but now those twenty were nowhere to be found.
If anything had happened, not a single word of it had leaked out.
The presence of such a powerful entity inevitably made everyone extremely nervous.
Searcy and Gui Yunxi heard the commotion and came out of the cabin. Searcy was a bit seasick and pale-faced. Her facial wound from a few days ago had begun to fade with treatment, but even with her pallor, it still looked like she might be swept away by the sea breeze.
Gui Yunxi said, "With you looking like that, why come out to catch the wind? Better go back inside."
As he spoke, he noticed they were at the dock and voiced his surprise, "No need to go back in now, we’ll be getting off the ship soon."
Searcy gave him a glance and then turned to look at Gu Youyou.
She asked, "Has something happened? You all have such stern faces, and we’re not docking."
