Xiao Zhao trembled and jumped up. "Gongzi," she said, "You should forget me. Miss Yin has followed Mother [here the original word was 'mu qin', a formal term for 'mother', while before, she used the term 'Mama'] for many years, she is also passionately devoted to you; she will be a good match to you."
In a low voice Zhang Wuji said, "We'll break out and kill, capture one or two Bao Shu Wang, and force them to take us to the LingSheIsland."
Xiao Zhao sadly shook her head, "This time they are ready; at this very moment, there are Persians with unsheathed blades standing by Xie Daxia, Miss Yin and the others. As soon as we make our move, they will be killed immediately." While saying that she opened the cabin door. They saw Taj-kis was standing by the door, with two Persians wielding swords standing behind her. Those two Persians bowed toward Xiao Zhao, but their swords did not leave Taj-kis' back.
Fearlessly Xiao Zhao walked up the deck, with Zhang Wuji following behind her. They saw Xie Xun and the others, each one with Persian warrior by their side, wielding a naked blade.
"Gongzi," Xiao Zhao said, "Here is some Persian medicine, effective to treat wounds; please apply it to Miss Yin." She then spoke several sentences in Persian. Gongde Wang took a bottle of medicine and handed it over to Zhang Wuji.
"I have ordered some people to take you back to the Central Earth; we'll part here," Xiao Zhao continued, "Xiao Zhao's body will be in Persia, but every day my prayer is that Gongzi will have happiness, good health, and peace; and that everything you do will be successful." Speaking to this point she choked and started crying.
"You will be living among the tigers and the wolves," Zhang Wuji said, "Please be careful." Xiao Zhao nodded and ordered her people to prepare a ship.
Xie Xun, Yin Li, Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo boarded the ship one by one. Xiao Zhao returned the Tulong Saber and Yitian Sword to Zhang Wuji. With a bitter smile she raised her hand to bid them farewell.
Zhang Wuji did not know what to say; he stared blankly at her for a moment before finally he leaped into the ship. The big ship Xiao Zhao was riding sounded its horn. Both ships set sail at the same time, the distance between them gradually increased. Xiao Zhao was standing on the bow, her eyes fixed on Zhang Wuji's ship. Two people looked at each other while the sea between them got wider and wider. Finally, Xiao Zhao's ship was only a black dot on the dark blue sea. The strong wind from afar blew on the sail, faintly carrying the sound of soft crying.
