    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions


    It wasn’t that Meng Yushu wasn’t agile enough... however, when the huge yacht came crashing into his boat, there was no way he could maintain his bnce.


    Because...


    His craft was simply too small.


    The yacht crashed into his craft and split it in two. His craft was instantly swallowed by the water, almost like a watermelon smashed by a punch.


    All of thedies and talents watching in admiration were stunned. They simply couldn’t react in time to Meng Yushu crashing into the water.


    "He capsized?"


    "Oh, no, it was a crash!"


    Even Meng Yushu couldn’t react in time to this. Was this some act of piracy?!


    Meng Yushu wanted to tell the perpetrators to stop.


    After all, his boat was rather valuable despite its size. He wasn’t going to let them go without gettingpensated. Then, a faint voice rang out.


    "Meng Yushu? This name is familiar... where have I heard it before?"


    Then...


    There was nothing else...


    The yacht showed no signs of stopping as it continued to steam ahead, almost as if the people on board didn’t see Meng Yushu nor the boat they just crashed into.


    However, Meng Yushu knew that...


    He knew for a fact that they must have seen him! Else, they would not have found his name familiar.


    Hang on!


    That sounded like a male voice!


    There’s a man on the yacht?


    "Stop right there! I am the eldest son of the Meng Family! How dare you crash into me and try to run! You can forget about leaving Huai An County!" Meng Yushu hollered. He could tolerate being rammed by ady, but definitely not by a man.


    Furthermore, he had been embarrassed in front of a group of people.


    During this time, Meng Yushu’s abilities had improved greatly.


    When he participated in the Dao Examinations, he was merely in the Divine Seal State. But now, he was already in the Star Conglomerate State.


    Furthermore, he had topped the Huai An Countybat examinations.


    He could not walk on water, but he could manipte the wind to surf the waves.


    The yacht was quick, but it was not quicker than Meng Yushu.


    He jumped...


    Using a piece of his shattered boat as a tform, he leapt into the air. Then, he took a step in the air and grabbed onto the tail end of the yacht.


    Even though he didn’t manage to jump onto the deck, simply being able to grab the end of the yacht was enough to elicit cheers and screams from thedies.


    "Wa, Young Master Meng is powerful!"


    "No wonder he topped the Huai An Countybat examinations!"


    "Is this the power of the Star Conglomerate State?"


    The screams of admiration from thedies were apanied by the jealousy of the candidates. However, none of them had the abilities or money that Meng Yushu had.


    At the stern...


    Meng Yushu held onto a nk of wood and grit his teeth.


    He was not in a good position. Even though he had managed to get a hold on a nk of wood, the yacht was travelling too fast. He ended up dangling in the air.


    However, he wanted to give the people on this boat a piece of his mind.


    He wasn’t prepared to take this lying down. No matter how hard it would be, he would board this craft! If he fell into the water now, his reputation would be ruined!


    He bit his lip.


    "Up!" Meng Yushu bellowed as he pushed himself onto the deck with all the power he had in his arms.


    Everyone on the shore cheered.


    Meng Yushu was happy about this.


    However, his expression froze almost immediately after. He saw a sword... a sword which radiated an icy aura...


    The sword was lowered at his throat.


    Silent and deadly...


    He felt a chill down his spine.


    He knew for a fact that there was no sword at his throat even before he had boarded the ship.


    The only exnation was that at the moment he flipped onto the deck, the sword had been lowered at his throat. The uracy of his attacker was impable.


    As for the person wielding the sword...


    Meng Yushu didn’t recognize that person, nor could he see the appearance of that person.


    That person wore a ck cloak and a ck veil. The veil extended to the person’s neck.


    A veiled sword bearer?


    A female veiled sword bearer?


    Meng Yushu couldn’t see his opponent clearly, but he could tell that this was ady by her ck dress. Thisdy had a pretty good figure too.


    "I am the eldest son of the Meng..." Meng Yushu was about to announce his identity when he felt pain at his throat. He shut up instantly.


    He could feel the sharp tip of the sword and the trickle of blood flowing down his neck.


    Was he going to be killed?


    This was Huai An County! There were countless witnesses. Who had the audacity to kill with so many eyes on them?


    Were these pirates?


    But this was a river! Why would there be pirates on a river?? That didn’t make sense!


    "Do we have a problem?" Thedy’s voice was bone-chilling.


    "No... no problem at all..." Meng Yushu wanted them topensate him. But right now, all he cared about was staying alive.


    This was not the time to talk about money.


    Naturally, he would say that there wasn’t a problem.


    "Get off!" Thedy’s voice rang out.


    "Ah? Off... okay, I’ll go down now!" Meng Yushu was stunned, but he recovered quickly and leapt off the ship.


    Was it embarrassing?


    Definitely!


    However, it was a small price to pay in exchange for his life.


    Meng Yushu looked at the shore.


    Countless eyes were staring at him. They had all seen the confrontation on the boat.


    Everyone was stunned.


    However, they did understand the situation that Meng Yushu was in.


    Meng Yushu looked away from the shore and into the sky. He was looking forward to a fun day! He wanted to enjoy himself and bask in the atmosphere of spring.


    Yet...


    He was about to be sent into the water again...


    Meng Yushu was embarrassed. However, at that moment, a male voice rang out. It was not as calm as before. This voice seemed like he had just had a revtion.


    "I remember now, Meng Yushu! It’s him!"


    Was there light at the end of the tunnel?


    Was he about to be saved?


    Meng Yushu’s hopes were up!


    He froze as tears began to well up in his eyes! Did someone know him? The timing couldn’t be better!


    Thepensation for his boat was irrelevant!


    His reputation!


    His reputation was on the line.


    Hepletely tossed the issue with the money to the back of his mind. Anyone who could get such a ship was definitely someone powerful.


    If he could stay on deck, that would be the best! He wanted to find a less embarrassing way to escape.


    Meng Yushu turned around to look at the veileddy.


    The unspoken question was obvious.


    Do I still need to jump?


    The answer was equally simple.


    Thedy didn’t respond with any words. She didn’t lower her sword, but her attitude seemed much more amicable.


    Furthermore, she stepped aside and opened a path for Meng Yushu...


    "Hahaha, I see that it was all just a misunderstanding. May I know which friend this is?" Meng Yushu chuckled loudly, loud enough for everyone else to hear.


    "Young Master Meng, it’s been a long time." The male voice rang out once again as a figure walked out from the cabin. He wore a blue long-sleeved shirt.


    This man’s attitude seemed sincere.


    He smiled widely at Meng Yushu.


    However...


    Meng Yushu froze. He couldn’t believe his eyes. He feltpletely paralyzed at that moment.


    In fact...


    It was almost as if...


    He had seen a ghost!


    Meng Yushu had thought of many possibilities as to who this man might be. It could have been an official or a scion of a noble family. He even thought of people he barely knew.


    However, he never expected this man to show up.


    This wasn’t because hecked imagination... it was simply because this was thest person anyone would have expected to show up.


    In fact, this person shouldn’t even be here!


    To be more precise, this person should not be showing himself in Huai An County! Most definitely not in broad daylight!


    He should at least disguise himself!


    Wear a hat?


    Or even a veil?


    Meng Yushu could have understood it if he had bothered to disguise himself even a little. However, he didn’t do anything to hide! He was the most wanted person in the entire Great Xia!


    "Fang... Fang... Fang Zhengzhi?!" Meng Yushu felt like he had just been struck by lightning. He stared at the youth in front of him in confusion.


    This guy...


    Why would he appear here?


    Meng Yushu was not the only one who couldn’t understand what he was seeing.


    All of the other talents anddies couldn’t understand it either. Not all of them knew what Fang Zhengzhi looked like.


    However, when they heard Meng Yushu call his name, they all felt the same way.


    "Fang Zhengzhi?!"


    "That guy is Fang Zhengzhi?!"


    "He... he is in Huai An County! Ah!!! Fang Zhengzhi is in Huai An County!"


    "How is that possible? Fang Zhengzhi is a wanted man!"


    All of the talents were stunned to hear this. They all stared at the youth in the blue long-sleeved shirt.


    Just like Meng Yushu...


    None of them could figure it out.


    Where did Fang Zhengzhi find the courage to appear in broad daylight on the River of Trust?!


    They could not shake their suspicions.


    However...


    Their instincts kicked in.


    As citizens of the Great Xia, they had a responsibility and a right to alert others when they saw a criminal.


    "Get the authorities!"


    "Go, quickly!"


    "It’s Fang Zhengzhi! Fang Zhengzhi is in Huai An County!"


    "He is on that boat!"


    Their voices echoed through the air and figures began running to the city gates and the guards there.


    Meng Yushu heard these noises.


    His jaw dropped when he heard the shouts and soundsing from the shore. He felt a chill run down his spine.


    He realized that there was a problem.


    It was him!


    It was him who made Fang Zhengzhi walk out of the cabin!


    He was also the one who had recognized Fang Zhengzhi. Now, he was standing on the deck... there was no way he was going to live.


    "Oh, no, I... I was mistaken, hahaha... Fang... no, Young Master Li, hahaha... it’s been a long time." Meng Yushu chuckled.


    He knew that the candidates on the shore would not believe him. If he had a chance to rewind time, he would never choose to board this ship. He would also not have tried to ask them forpensation.


    Fang Zhengzhi!


    This was a man who was hunted by hundreds of thousands of demons in the Southern Region. He was the man who had dueled Canyang.


    Of course...


    That was not the most important point.


    This was a man who had vited the then Princess of the Southern Region, the current Queen of the Southern Region. He then killed Shan Ling and injured the Crown Prince.


    Even though he was rumored to have been crippled.


    It didn’t matter...


    Meng Yushu looked at the veileddy as well as the sword she had in his hand. He regretted his decisions...


    He shouldn’t have looked back.


    He should have jumped.


    Reputation?


    His reputation meant nothing!


    His life was the most important thing. Most importantly, he didn’t want to be embroiled in this...


    Even the entire Meng Family couldn’t afford to be embroiled in this!


    "Young Master Meng, you didn’t make a mistake. I am Fang Zhengzhi!" The youth smirked, almost as if he didn’t hear the noisesing from the shore.
