Unsheathed

The louchuan slowly docked, and it was so majestic in size that Fan Yan, Yuan Yuan, Lü Caisang, and the others who were standing at the dock could only crane their necks to look up at it.

Over at the bow of the ship, Gu Can hopped down from the railing and Senior Sister Tian Hujun naturally walked over to help him gently pat his dark green official garb. Gu Can shot a glance at her and said, "You don't need to disembark today."

Tian Hujun's face was filled with worry as she said, "Apparently the assassins who are hiding in Pond Water City are sword cultivators from the Luminous Vermilion Empire, so we definitely can't underestimate them. With me present..."

Gu Can smiled and interjected, "You won't be of any use at all. Or perhaps Senior Sister is willing to die for me if I truly come across any life-threatening danger? Since you definitely won't, don't try to ingratiate yourself with me regarding these matters. Do you think I'm stupid? Take, for example, your action of flattening the creases in my official garb right now. You're acting willingly and within your abilities, and I also enjoy it a lot. How good is that?"

There was a hint of despondence in Tian Hujun's eyes as she relented to Gu Can.

Qin Jue and Chao Zhe exchanged a smile.

They definitely couldn't treat Junior Brother Gu Can as a little child.

Their master, River Severing True Lord Liu Zhimao, had once joked at a celebratory banquet that only Gu Can was most able to obtain his true inheritance.

Afterward, Liu Zhimao had looked around the banquet hall with an eerie expression and directly announced that only Gu Can could become the future island master of Cyan Gorge Island. No one else was allowed to compete with him. Otherwise, there would be no need for Gu Can to do anything, and he would directly clear out the challengers himself. Moreover, he definitely wouldn't waste the challenger's corpse.

Back then, Gu Can had been lazily sprawled across an extremely large and wide chair, with his feet resting on the back of the so-called catfish that had revealed its true body and become much more slender than before. He had laughed loudly upon hearing Liu Zhimao's words, and he had raised his cup of sweet fruit juice and exclaimed, "Master, let's continue to drink."

In the end, the only people who disembarked the louchuan were Gu Can, his senior brothers Qin Jue and Chao Zhe, as well as two open collar ladies wearing veiled hats to conceal their appearances. The open collar ladies were lithe and alluring.
