Vol 7 Chapter 26 (2/2)

Zhang Zhao didn’t continue any further when she saw this, and turned around to head back to the deck.

“Lord Zhang Zhao, what are your plans after you return?” I don’t know why, but I stopped Zhang Zhao and blurted this.

Zhang Zhao seemed like she was on guard at first but she closed her eyes and relaxed, “Leaving aside everything else, just thinking about how I need to be on guard against Cao Cao is vexing enough. This is rather different from the carefree Imperial Uncle right?”

Wu… Yet another snide remark.

“Big brother, we should be reaching soon. Should we get the troops to pack up and get resdy to disembark?” Just then, Yun Chang came over and asked me. When she saw Zhang Zhao, she bowed and saluted.

“In any case, you should watch out for yourself, Imperial Uncle.” When she saw someone else come over, Zhang Zhao seemed like she didn’t want to say any further and shook her sleeves before heading back inside.

I looked at Zhang Zhao’s back, and for some reason, I couldn’t feel any ill will from her. Her words are always offensive but it feels like it wouldn’t be Zhang Zhao if they were’t.

“Big brother?”

“Un? Un un, let’s go with that then.” I only snapped out of it and remembered that Yun Chang was seeking instructions from me when she asked again, and hurriedly nodded.

“Un,” Yun Chang nodded, and waited for a moment, before she poke again with a difficult expression, “Big brother, Yi De hasn’t shown any sign of recovery.”

“Un, I know.”

From what I can remember, this is the first time Yun Chang is saying this to me ever since Yi De lost her memories. Before this, she has been working hard, trying to help Yi De regain her lose memories. But that hasn’t worked.

I know, Yun Chang is approaching her limit.

“I know.” I repeated once more, as I didn’t have any words to comfort Yun Chang with, and this was the truth after all.

“… Sorry.” She hurriedly apologised, perhaps because she felt bad from what she saw on my face.

“No…” I wanted to deny it, but Yun Chang had already left.

I felt the same way as Yun Chang did, but even if we understood how each other felt, it wouldn’t help alleviate the pain in the least.

By the way, Yun Chang is also from the north but she doesn’t seem to be having an issue with being at sea like me.
