Chang Geng closed his eyes, forcing himself to hold back from almost rubbing his head against the other's hand.

He removed Gu Yun's hand and wrote: "Meeting this kind of situation the first time following yifu, I was a bit anxious and scared."

The most fearful thing was that brief second when the Dong Ying man's dart was about to hit Gu Yun.

Gu Yun seemed to have just remembered something and suddenly smiled.

Chang Geng: "Why are you laughing?"

"I pampered you too much." Gu Yun wrote in his palm. "Back then, if I dare say the word 'scared' in front of my father, I would have definitely got beaten with a stick."

Chang Geng silently thought: "Then why won't you ever beat me with a stick?"

Not only did Gu Yun not beat him, but he had rarely ever gotten seriously mad at him; his anger never lasted for longer than three sentences.

The first time he faced the sword training puppet, he was consumed with fright and unable to adapt to it, yet Gu Yun had never shown disappointment or impatience. As Chang Geng recalled it again after more than a year had passed, he felt that Gu Yun was not like a rigorous elder who was teaching the younger generation, but more like an adult watching a little child playing clumsily with a smile.

Gu Yun wrote: "These Dong Ying people are very troublesome to deal with. They have many tricks up their sleeves, but not many can be considered true first-class fighters. The man's dart might have appeared terrifying, but in actuality, its flying track was curved. He simply wanted to test if I really am blind.

"The Dong Ying people on this ship are not of concern. What I'm worried about is their destination."

Merchant ships left inland from the passage between the sea and the canal, aiming towards the East, sending the products back to Dong Ying.

On their way, to be able to pass by several inspection stations, there must be a fragrant expert boarded on their ships currently carrying the scented balms. The tested samples must be handed out at each of the inspection stations. Hence, no matter what the real purpose of these merchant ships was, there must always be a fragrant expert to pull the wool over other people's eyes.

After ten days of travel, Ge Pang Xiao snuck into Gu Yun's room: "Mar... Master Zhang, big brother Chang Geng."

After that, as he saw the blindfold on Gu Yun's face, he muttered: "Forgot that he was supposed to be deaf right now."

After greeting them, he started to bring out several objects, first was two compasses, next was a box that continuously let out white steam. This plump little boy was quite amazing; his belly seemed to be retractable, able to store many things when sucked in, and even after taking things out... it did not seem to get any thinner.
