Chapter - 41 Pale Shoulder As Though Adorned By Beautiful Plum Blossoms (6)

Young Leader Mai jumped up from his boat towards Chang JinPeng's. Chang JinPeng waited till he's right in the middle of his jump before sending out a watermelon with his left hand. While in midair, this young leader could not hope to dodge the oncoming weapon. He immediately blacked out upon impact and fell back to his own boat.

By now, there are already several holes in the Huge Whale Clan's boat, and its sailors could only try to hold on for dear life. Without needing any orders from Branch Leader Chang, the sailors on his boat retracted their anchors and resumed sailing.

Zhang CuiShan was thoroughly impressed by Chang JinPeng, thinking, "Had my teacher not taught me the intricacies of borrowing force to release force, His attack on my back would've certainly killed me. Not only is this person's kung fu amazing, he's also devious and clever. Must be a powerful person among the evil sects." He turned back and looked at Yin SuSu, only to see her expression calm and ordinary, as if she didn't really care about any of this.

Although these sailors knew how to swim, it's still impossible for them to swim all the way to the side of the river. Many of them cried out for help. Chang JinPeng and Yin SuSu's boats did not bother to stop for any of them.

Zhang CuiShan looked out the window at the broken-down boat. He felt sorry for these sailors, but knew that considering Chang JinPeng and Yin SuSu's merciless attitude, he could not persuade them to save those people.

Yin SuSu looked at his expression, smiled, and yelled out, "Branch Leader Chang. Our honored guest Fifth Hero Zhang wants to do a good deed. Why don't you save these people?" Zhang CuiShan could not believe that she would speak such words. Only to hear Chang JinPeng say, "I will carry out the request of our guest."

He then yelled, "Listen up people. Wu Dang's Fifth Hero Zhang wants to save your lives. If you value your life, swim towards our boats!" The Huge Whale Clan people immediately swam towards the boats, most of them made it.

Zhang CuiShan's heart warmed, and said happily, "Thank you!" Yin SuSu said coldly, "The Huge Whale Clan kill people like objects. None of them are compassionate people. Why did you want to save them?" Zhang CuiShan was taken aback. He knew that the Huge Whale Clan is one of the four most brutal water clans in the country. Yet for some reason, he actually tried to save them today. Only to hear Yin SuSu say, "Had I not saved them, I bet Fifth Hero Zhang would've scolded me, 'You are such a malicious young woman. I really regret having saved your life.'" Being told exactly what he had been thinking, Zhang CuiShan's face turned red. He said with a smile, "You're so cunning, how can I hope to argue over you? Saving those people will only help you atone for your bad deeds. It has nothing to do with me."

At this moment, the tide roared like thunder, shaking everyone's ears. Zhang CuiShan and Yin SuSu could hardly hear each other in this situation. Zhang CuiShan looked out the window, and realized that those people in the Huge Whale Clan who hasn't been saved are likely all dead.

Yin SuSu walked over to the back room, closed the door, and came back out a bit later, this time in woman's clothing. She then made a gesture for him to take off his robe. Zhang CuiShan didn't want to refuse her, and did as he's told. He thought Yin SuSu wanted to mend his robe; instead she actually wanted him to put the robe she just taken off. Afterwards, Yin SuSu took the torn robe into the back room.

With nothing else to wear, Zhang CuiShan could only put on the robe Yin SuSu handed him. This robe is quite big, and he had no problem fitting in it. A faint fragrance came from the robe. Zhang CuiShan's mind shivered, and looked away from her. He simply sat in the cabin pretending to look at the paintings on the all. But with the huge tide rocking the boat, plus so many worries in his mind, Zhang CuiShan could not enjoy anything at the moment. Yin SuSu did not speak with him either.

Suddenly the boat rocked hard again, even the candle was blown out. Zhang CuiShan thought, "It's bad image for Miss Yin if she and I continue to stay in a dark room like this together." So he opened the cabin door and sat outside, only to see the boatman desperately trying to hold the tiller, rowing the boat under these extreme conditions.

After about an hour, the tidal waves dissipated. A while later, they've arrived at WangPan Island.

The WangPan Island is located right at the mouth of river, where it flowed into the Eastern Sea. The island is filled with stone mountains, seemingly without residents. Two boats docked by the beach. Only to hear a horn blowing in the distance, to see two people waving flags on the beach. As the boat got closer, Zhang CuiShan saw that the two boats both have a large eagle on their flags.

An old man stood on the shore between the two boats. Only to hear him say, "Black Valiant Branch's Branch Leader Bai GuiShou welcomes Miss Yin." His words long but clear, although not too loud, managed to show his impressive inner power. When Yin SuSu's boat docked, he personally put up the plank. Yin SuSu asked Zhang CuiShan to go first, before she walked down to the shore to introduce them.

How nicely Yin SuSu treated Zhang CuiShan, who introduced him to be the fifth hero of Wu Dang, really startled Bai GuiShou. He said, "It really is a pleasure to meet one of the renowned heroes of Wu Dang." Zhang CuiShan returned with some courteous words.

Yin SuSu said with a chuckle, "Your words are so insincere. One's thinking, 'Darn, Wu Dang's also here. Yet another person who wants to steal the Dragon Saber.' The other's thinking, 'Man of an evil sect, I could care less about associating with the likes of you.' If you ask me, you really should just speak your minds."

Bai GuiShou laughed, while Zhang CuiShan said, "I did not mean any disrespect. Branch Leader Bai's kung fu is superb. I was amazed at your ability to stretch your sound across the water. I am only here with Miss Yin, not to take the Dragon Saber."

Yin SuSu's expression brightened considerably upon these words. Bai GuiShou knew of Yin SuSu's icy personality, and was quite shocked that she would warm up to Zhang CuiShan. So one could imagine just how important he is to her. That plus the fact that Zhang CuiShan complimented on his own kung fu lessened Bai GuiShou's enmity towards Zhang CuiShan. He said, "Miss Yin, Sea Sand Sect, Huge Whale Clan, and Divine Fist Sect's people are all here. Plus two Kun Lun swordsmen came. These two kids are extremely arrogant, nowhere near as courteous as Fifth Hero Zhang…"

As he said to here, they heard someone yell from behind, "And just how courteous is it to speak foul of others behind the back?" Two men in long, green robes appeared, with swords on their back. Both looked like they were in their late twenties, with an expression as if they want to cause some trouble.

Bai GuiShou said with a smile, "Well, look who's here. Come, let me introduce everyone."

Those two started to complain, but stopped when they were captivated by Yin SuSu's amazing beauty. One simply stared at her. The other turned away immediately after a glance, but kept her in the corner of his eyes.

Bai GuiShou pointed at the man staring at Yin SuSu and said, "This is Swordsman Gao ZeCheng." Then he pointed to the other man and said, "This is Swordsman Jiang Tao. Both are prestigious members of the Kun Lun Sect. As this is their first visit to the central plains, I'm sure they can show us their incredible swordsmanship."
