“Captain, where are you going? Wait for us.”
When the crew saw their captain board the boat, they quickly followed him. They wanted their captain to persuade Young Master Qian not to bring a woman with him.
However, the captain clearly did not want to listen to their suggestion and even told them to do it instead.
But how were they supposed to do it? The captain should be the one to say it. Young Master Qian would only listen to him.
“Captain, you should persuade Young Master Qian. He can’t bring a woman with him.”
The captain stopped in his tracks and turned to look at his crew. His expression terrified the crew, who nearly fell into the water.
They took a step back guiltily and asked softly, “Captain, why are you looking at me like that?”
“If any of you dare to leave your family members on the shores of Beiyuan Lake and accompany me out to the lake, I’ll go and talk to him. How about that?” The captain coldly proposed to them.
“Huh?!” The crew members were dumbfounded.
There were all kinds of people on the shore. How could they dare to leave their families here? Those with ill intentions would bully them.
“Don’t be angry, Captain. Just pretend we didn’t say anything.”
Some could read the situation and knew their captain was already very angry, so they quickly appeased him.
They simply would not discuss it anymore. They only asked the captain to try persuading him. It was not like they expected him to succeed, but he did not even want to give it a try!
“I don’t think you’re in the mood to set out for the lake. How about this? I won’t bring you all out this time. I’ll bring Old Feng and the others along. It’ll save me the trouble of explaining to your families if you encounter danger on the lake.” The captain spoke again.
“No, no, Captain. We—”
“It’s settled then.”
The captain did not have the time to listen to them anymore. He made the final decision and left.
“How can this happen?”
The crew members were dumbfounded.
They only wanted to leave the lake safely. Why were they the ones who could
not leave in the end? That did not seem right.
“Captain, are you really not going to let them go with you?”
The deputy captain emerged from the side with many porcelain bottles containing medicinal pills.
Although he also felt that those people were unreasonable, he worried that not allowing them to go out to the lake might backfire and make them even more disrespectful to the captain.
He decided to come out and dissuade the captain.
“Look at them. How are they behaving?” The captain sighed.
“Ah Sheng, why don’t you tell me? Every time we leave the lake, we take a significant risk. There have been numerous casualties. Isn’t everyone clear about this? If you want to survive on Beiyuan Lake, you have to be prepared to lose your life at any time.”
“That’s true, but everyone wants to be safer, right?” the deputy captain said. “It’s not just them. Even I don’t want to bring a woman out onto the lake. The risk would be too great. Their thoughts aren’t entirely unreasonable.”
“Not entirely unreasonable?” The captain snorted and shook his head.
“Is it because Young Master Qian is too powerful that they lose all their self-awareness? Are we all waiting for someone to come and protect us to head out to the lake?” he asked the deputy captain.
The deputy captain was stunned..
