Chapter 420: Chapter 422 Devotion_1

The cabin was quite warm, further amplified by the burning charcoal the butler set up before Longsan after he arrived. The temperature inside rose, causing Nan Feng’s face to be flushed red. She took off her cloak and bundled it up in front of her.

However, Longsan’s face remained just as pale, as though no amount of heat could warm him.

The butler later served a pot of hot tea, along with two cups. Longsan poured a cup for Nan Feng, then pushed it towards her as he said, "I enjoyed our last conversation, Lady Nan. I initially thought we wouldn’t have another chance like this. I feel honored now to be able to chat with you while enjoying the river view on a boat."

Although they were actually in the cabin and couldn’t see the river, Nan Feng had a fear of the ship deck and didn’t dare to go up once the boat started.

Nan Feng smiled, picking up her tea and sipping as she spoke, "I didn’t mean to trouble you, Longsan, but you’ve stepped in to save me twice already. Our meeting should be seen as my honor, and your..."

Nan Feng, failing to find the right words, could only squeeze out: "Your...minor disaster."

"Hahaha..." Longsan laughed heartily, his pale face gaining some life. "You’re right, it seems every time I come across you, it’s when you’re in trouble. But..."

After a brief pause, Longsan looked at Nan Feng’s rosy face, took another sip of tea, and said, "Feel free to look for me whenever you’re in trouble. I’m at your service."

Nan Feng nodded, "Thank you, Longsan. I have nothing to repay..."

Suddenly, a line from a TV show flashed in her mind, "I have nothing to offer in return but my body," and she hastily corrected, "I... will have nothing elseto return."

That sent Longsan into another fit of laughter. After his laughter subsided, he coughed a few times. Instantly, the butler rushed over, "Master, the upper cabin is too cold, let’s move to the lower quarters."

Longsan nodded; the butler helped him up, but he kept his gaze on Nan Feng, "I don’t need repayment. Just treat me as a friend. I have a Jade Card here. If you ever need a boat, look for one from the Longya gang. Show them this Jade Card, and you’ll get help anytime."

Nan Feng took the Jade Card and watched Longsan leave, unable to help but smile.

Jianghu folks value friendship and loyalty; when they consider you a friend, they’ll go all out for you. Nan Feng felt she had been too cautious.

She can deal with Longsan openly in the future. There’s no need to worry too much.

...

Nan Feng didn’t see Longsan when they reached Wanjin Wharf, probably because his body was too weak for the butler to let him off the ship.

She wondered about the illness plaguing him—what was it, exactly, and when would it get better?

After unloading the cargo, Nan Feng rented a few flatbed horse carts from the wharf. As she was about to transport the goods to her branch store, she felt a tap on her shoulder.

Turning around, she saw a man wearing a straw hat and a rain cloak. He was thin and small with his pant legs rolled up, sporting a small mustache and a somewhat dirty face.

As she was about to ask what he wanted, she suddenly felt something amiss.

Those eyes!

A look that was somewhat resentful and lazy. Looking at the fair skin on her hand, who else could it be but Xue Ling?

This disguise was leagues behind Ye Ge’s transformation technique.

Nan Feng didn’t expose her just yet. Instead, she pretended to scold, "Where did this little beggar come from? Go away!"
