The ocean before was calm with endless waves. There wasn’t any mist or fog and it was clear.

But, a day ago, thick fog slowly drifted over the ocean, covering the entire surface. Even their divine sense couldn’t penetrate it.

The thick fog was strange, and even more strange was the sound of paddles coming from the thick fog.

There was nothing just then, then the sound of oars suddenly appeared.

Consequently, a small ship emerged. The ship slowly came out of the thick fog. Several people used a few oars to drive the ship.

As it approached the shore and dropped anchor, a group of people got off the boat. They observed Sima You Yue’s group and left without saying anything.

After the people on deck departed, a man wearing sleeveless linen waistcoat appeared on the deck with a bandana wrapped on his head.

He frowned when he saw Sima You Yue and them. “How come there is only this many. Forget it, do you want to cross the ocean?”

“Is this the ship leading to the Lost Place?” Huang Ying Ying asked.

The man drew a smoky pipe from his waist and knocked it on the deck. He glanced at her indifferently and said in a contemptuous tone, “You waited here, wasn’t it for my boat?Are you going to board or not? I will leave if you don’t.”

His words indicated that they were going to the Lost Place.

Seeing that they were going to board, the man added, “By the way, each person needs a hundred thousand top grade crystal, no bargaining!”

Everyone pursed their lips when they heard this. The boat fee of a hundred thousand top grade crystal was too expensive!

Fortunately, Sima family was not short of money, especially Sima You Yue. The ancient saint herb that she auctioned made her a fortune.

When she got on the boat, she gave him eight hundred thousand top grade crystals. The man’s attitude improved a lot. He smiled at Sima You Yue, “Little girl, you’re very easygoing!”

In the past, those people regardless if they had money like to complain to him that the ferry fare was too expensive, or they were upset that he gave preferential treatment to some.

“Uncle wants to keep us safe and build such a ship; the energy and financial resources used are not small. Therefore, such ship fares should be collected.” Sima You Yue smiled.

“Hahaha, little girl is quite smart.” The man laughed.

“May I ask how should I address Uncle?” Sima You Yue saw that he was in a good mood, so she took the opportunity to get close.

“You can call me Helmsman Tuo.” Helmsman Tuo rarely took a liking to young girls and he was even willing to talk to her.

“Can I call you Uncle Tuo?”

“Whatever you want.” It was just an address. He didn’t care. He waved to Feng Zhi Xing and them and said, “You men, go row.”

“Us?” Feng Zhi Xing and Sima Liu Xuan looked at each other, believing they heard wrong.

“Yes, just you guys.” Helmsman Tuo knocked on the side of the boat with his pipe when he saw they weren’t moving. “Why are you standing there ? If you don’t paddle, how do we move the boat? I am not in a hurry, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to.”
