She ordered Shadow to deal with him before returning to the large ship.
Master Wei locked himself in his cabin and didn't come out for a long time.
Xie Jianshu asked Lin Yiwan with some worry, "Mother, could it be that Master Wei has suffered a huge blow and will never recover? If he tries to kill himself, we might never be able to reach Immortal Island in our entire lives!"
Lin Yiwan shook her head: "No, he's just having trouble accepting reality right now. He'll pull himself together!"
Sure enough, Master Wei came out that evening with a resolute expression.
He said in a deep voice, "I'm hungry, get me some food!"
Xie Jianshu hurriedly ordered someone to bring him food, and watched as he ate two large bowls.
He instinctively stepped forward and asked, "Master Wei, are you alright?"
Wei Ziyuan calmly said, "I'm fine. That wicked disciple dared to poison me, which means he's afraid of me. My navigation skills are still the best; he'll never surpass me in this lifetime!"
Xie Jianshu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He sincerely praised, "Indeed, Master Wei's navigation skills are more superb. He brought us through such a huge storm safely. Finding Immortal Island is just around the corner!"
Master Wei reached out and patted him on the shoulder; "You've got a way with words, kid. Come on, I'll teach you some sail control tricks. It's always good to have more skills!"
He led Xie Jianshu towards the cabin, his steps light and easy.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Zhan Yan said, "It seems that Xie Jianshu has caught Master Wei's eye. If he is really willing to teach him, it might not be a bad thing!"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "Yes, I just hope we can find Mother and Minister Min as soon as possible. It seems they have really encountered a calamity. I'm very worried about them!"
Zhan Yan's heart sank as well; how could he not be worried?
That bastard Min De, once he gets back, I will not let him off easily!
At this moment, Min De, who was in the palace, learned that all his plans had failed, and he was somewhat flustered.
He frowned and pondered, "They're that powerful?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly walked over to a map.
He pointed to a black dot and said, "They're about to reach Immortal Island. If they're lucky, they'll definitely find that rarely seen waterway, and then they'll find the bodies of Prime Minister Min and his wife!"
An aide reassured him, "My lord, there's no need to worry. No one has ever truly seen that waterway. Even if they go in, who knows what they might encounter? So, perhaps they'll never come back? Like Prime Minister Min and the Holy Maiden?"
Min De shook his head: "I still feel uneasy. You should make arrangements immediately to gather all the assassins in that area. If they come out, kill them all. Do not leave any survivors!"
"Yes!" The aide quickly accepted the order and left.
At this moment, Min Yue came in from outside carrying a food box and said, "Godfather, I've made you your favorite ginseng soup!"
Min De frowned and looked her over: "How have you been feeling these past few days?"
Min Yue shook her head: "It's alright, it's just that the King of Wu refuses to see me. He asked my godfather to teach me what to do."
Min De scoffed coldly: "Ignore him. As long as all those people at sea are dead, he'll be nothing but a puppet. Then, he won't dare refuse whatever I ask him to do!"
Min Yue remained silent for a moment before saying, "Father, have you heard? The throne of our Li Kingdom will be inherited by the son of the Marquis of Zhanyi!"
Min De interrupted without hesitation: "With me here, it is absolutely impossible. Since the King of Wu cannot keep the throne, then let it be my son, Min De's son. Originally, our Min family should have held the imperial power. He is an incompetent man. If he wants to live, he must abdicate and give way to a worthy successor as soon as possible!"
Min Yue nodded and took the ginseng soup out of the food box.
Upon seeing her fair and slender wrists, Min De's eyes darkened.
He raised his hand and pinched her chin: "You feed me!"
Min Yue obediently replied, "Yue'er obeys!"
However, she did not pick up the spoon.
At this point, the large ship sailing in the sea had been unable to find its way for several days.
Wei Ziyuan spent every day with Xie Jianshu fiddling with the compass on the deck, but no matter how many times they turned around, they couldn't find any exit.
Everyone was getting anxious, even though they had brought enough food and fresh water.
Luna and her mother stayed in the cabin the whole time. They were both very self-aware and didn't want to cause Lin Yiwan any trouble.
Zhan Miao would sometimes come to play with Lu Na'er, and she said worriedly, "I don't know if we can still get to Fairy Island. Even Master Wei can't tell which way is which now. I hope we don't get stuck at sea and die."
Luna quickly reassured her, "Sister Miao'er, don't be afraid. Master Wei is the most skilled navigator in our country. He is very experienced, and we will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty!"
Zhan Miao couldn't help but chuckle. She reached out and ruffled Lu Na'er's hair. "You're so optimistic. If we really can't go back, will you regret coming on board with us?"
Lu Na'er answered earnestly, "I have no regrets. I am very happy and grateful that my sister was able to bring me to the sea. Even if I die, I will have no regrets!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Madam Lu, who was doing needlework beside her, hurriedly interjected, "Pah, pah, pah! What unlucky things to say! We'll all be fine, and this big ship will definitely make it to Fairy Island!"
Luna quickly apologized, "Sister Miao'er, I misspoke, I'm sorry!"
Zhan Miao sighed, "I don't blame you, but I do have regrets. I didn't get to see my grandmother, and I'm very unwilling to accept it!"
Luna tilted her head and asked, "You love your grandmother very much? Like I love my father?"
Zhan Miao answered earnestly, "Yes, I love her very much. Even though I've only met her a few times, in my memory she was a very beautiful, wise, and loving grandmother!"
Luna'er looked on with envy and said sadly, "It's a pity I don't have a grandmother. When I was born, I only had my parents!"
Mrs. Lu had no choice but to explain: "Your grandmother was a female diver (haenyeo), and she passed away before you were born!"
Luna pouted sadly, turned around and ran quickly to the window, calling out, "Grandmother, please bless Father and let me see him again!"
Mrs. Lu's eyes immediately welled up with tears; she didn't know if this wish could be fulfilled.
Night falls quickly at sea; one moment the sun is blazing red, the next it's pitch black.
Lin Yiwan and Zhan Yan sat in the cabin, watching Wei Ziyuan frown as he examined the map.
He said with a grave expression, "The terrain here is very strange. The compasses seem to be completely useless. We've been going around in circles in this sea area!"
Lin Yiwan asked in confusion, "Master Wei, have you been here before?"
Wei Ziyuan scratched his head: "No, I've only heard about it from others, I've never actually been inside!"
