The owner agreed and pretended to go and make the arrangements. However, before long, he rushed over in a flurry, wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Sorry, miss. All the boats have been rented out. I've just made arrangements for half a day, and there's not a single one left. Right now, there is only one large ship, which perfectly meets the requirements of your family. Do you want to … " the boss asked.

"Nothing else?"

"There's really nothing else." The boss shook his head.

"Then let's rent again tomorrow." Xue Ruyun stood up and was about to leave.

"Miss, Miss, you didn't come tomorrow either. Business has been tight and all the boats have been rented out. If you want to rent a boat, I'm afraid you'll have to wait ten days to half a month. We can't rent a boat to you until last time." The boss caught up with him and was very confident in his words.

"Lao Yun, I'm afraid that I won't be able to wait for that long in these ten to half a month. If I delay my appointment, I'm afraid that the upper echelons will blame me for it." Xue Duan Sheng's hair was white and he was extremely worried.

"But this ship is too overbearing, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of the bandits." Xue Ruyun revealed his worries.

"Actually, the pirates haven't been as rampant as they were in the past two years. Besides, we're only travelling during the day and trying to find a safe place to park at night to avoid the pirates." Xue Duan Sheng couldn't care less about all this because he was in a hurry.

Xue Ruyun saw that Chen Changsheng had aged quite a bit, and his words seemed to be begging. He had no choice but to nod his head. "Then let's go on the ship."

"Alright." The owner was beaming with joy.

"Young mistress, I'll prepare it for you right now. This silver …." The boss smiled apologetically and stretched out his hand.

"Take it." Xue Ruyun glanced at him, then he took out the Night Pearl from his waist and handed it to the owner.

The boss received it with both hands and examined it from left to right. After confirming that it was a treasure, he was overjoyed.

"What, are these enough to rent a ship?" Seeing that the boss was too busy appraising treasures and didn't do anything, Xue Ruoyun reminded him.

"Enough is enough. Don't even mention renting it, this money is enough even if you buy all of my storefronts." The boss spoke honestly.

"Then hurry up and make the arrangements." Xue Ruyun drank a mouthful of tea and instructed.

"Alright, alright, alright. This lowly one will go now." The owner trotted off.

The few of them got on the boat and lay down on the bed. The boat was big and spacious with all the necessary facilities. They could finally have a good rest.

"I already said that I want this kind of large ship. It's big and comfortable, and it's not like I don't have money. Why would I want that old and broken boat? It's so inconvenient." Xue Lian even attributed all this to him.

Xue Ruyun was too lazy to bother with her, so she wasted her breath.

The boat had traveled for a few days, and they had made a safe journey. They hadn't encountered any danger, so Xue Luoyun gradually began to feel at ease.

It was a clear night, the moon was bright and clear, the moon was large and round and very bright. The jade plate of the moon reflected in the water was beautiful, making it hard to tell which one was real and which one was fake.

Such a beautiful night, such a beautiful scenery, yet there was not a single person to enjoy it together. Standing on the bow of the ship, Xue Ruoyun felt that it was a pity.

She raised her head to look at the moon and thought about how, on a night as bright as this, she could hear a melodious mournful sound from the roof. In this scene, if Mu Sheng could play a melodious and lonely melody, it would simply be an exquisite scene. Xue Ruoyun could only sigh in pity.

Under the same moonlight, Mu Ying was also looking up.

"I wonder what he is doing, and where he is." Mu Sheng's heart was filled with worry. In this period of time, even though he was separated from Xue Ruyun, his longing did not decrease because of her departure. Rather, it only increased with each passing day.

During the day, Mu Ying couldn't help but use his political affairs to busy himself, forcing him to forget about Xue Ruyun. Thus, he didn't feel that time passed so slowly.

However, when he was free, he couldn't help but recall that beautiful face in his mind. Without her around. Mu Sheng felt that his life had lost a lot of interest, becoming as light as water.

Mu Sheng bought the entire Xue Manor. At night, he would occasionally live alone in the small courtyard. He looked at the furnishings in the room and saw that they were exactly the same as when Xue Ruoyun was here. He stroked every single item in the room, imagining the scene when Xue Ruoyun used them.

After seeing all of this, Mu Sheng walked back into the courtyard. He looked at every blade of grass and every tree in the courtyard, and it seemed as if he could still see the shadow of Xue Ruyun. Only in this small courtyard would he feel that he was so close to Xue Muyun, and his heart surged with longing like a tide so that it would not be so turbulent.

He really hoped that time would pass faster so that he could finish what he was doing and quickly go over there to show off and see Xue Luoyun. He raised his head, took a sip of the liquor, and blew on it.

The boat slowly moved forward, completely silent. Xue Luoyun took a jug of wine, sat cross-legged on the bow, and drank alone.

While she drank, she quietly enjoyed the beautiful scenery and felt the feeling of the night breeze by her ear. After drinking for a while, Xue Luoyun felt a little tipsy. The night wind blew, and suddenly she wanted to dance, to release herself under the moon. She stood up, paused, spread her arms, and was about to dance.
