Chapter 4962: 5.0714 Plans

"Qiao Qiao, there's no need to rush," Duan Yue quickly advised. "Wait a couple more days. Let me call in more people to search."

"No, we're sticking to this." Qiao Mu dropped that statement and stomped away. Her little stoic face was puffed up with anger, and she couldn't bring herself to speak for a long time.

Duan Yue felt helpless. He understood Qiao Qiao's thoughts, of course—the little one didn't want to make things difficult for him. After all, with his current status, abandoning state affairs to wander around Wangchuan was truly too reckless these past few days.

"Qiao Qiao," Duan Yue hurried to catch up. "Then let's go back to Cangzhou together in a while. If you don't agree, I won't leave."

He certainly wouldn't feel at ease leaving her alone on this vast sea again. Besides, she was pregnant now and needed proper rest and care even more. The little one had truly suffered too much these past few days; her small face had visibly thinned! He definitely needed to take her back and properly nourish her; a couple of days probably wouldn't be enough to restore her. It was truly pitiful.

"Don't worry, we'll leave more people here. As soon as there's news of that rascal, we'll be notified immediately."

Qiao Mu pursed her lips without speaking. In truth, she was still planning to let Duan Yue go back to handle his affairs while she stayed behind to continue waiting for her Mo Lian. However, she also knew that Duan Yue would never approve of her plan...

"He's not in the Abyssal Sea now, and who knows where he fought with that holy beast. Not receiving his communication, just sitting and waiting for him isn't a solution either."

Duan Yue continued to persuade her, "Listen to me, stop staying out on the sea exposed to the wind and sun. Let's go back to the city first. When we receive definite news, you can use a teleportation array. Isn't that a matter of minutes?"

Qiao Mu couldn't help but pout. She turned back to look at Duan Yue, who was following her, muttering incessantly, and couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Why are you acting like a little monk possessed?"

"It's not that simple; directional teleportation arrays also have distance limitations."

However, as long as they had a general direction, they could just teleport multiple times to reach their destination. Thinking this way, what Duan Yue said seemed quite reasonable.

"Hey, quick, look! What's that floating over there on the sea?"

Duan Yue and Qiao Mu had just emerged from the Abyssal Sea, one after the other, when they heard a dark guard exclaim.

Both of them looked out at the sea and saw a person caught in the water, struggling to extend an arm and strenuously thrashing at the surface.

Qiao Mu glanced at it and then withdrew her gaze, showing little reaction on her face.

Duan Yue, however, raised his eyebrows slightly and stood with Qiao Qiao at the entrance of the Abyssal Sea, looking towards that area from a good distance away.

They watched as the unidentified person floated up and down, carried by the current, drifting towards them. As they got closer, the two of them could clearly see it was a middle-aged man who appeared to be close to fifty.

Qiao Mu sniffed her little nose. "The aura of talisman power flowing."

"Oh? Is this person a Great Talisman Master?"

"He must have used something like a teleportation talisman array." He probably got caught by a non-directional teleportation array and unexpectedly landed in Wangchuan, falling directly into the sea.

Duan Yue, that rascal, nodded and said, "Let's apprehend him first."

Qiao Mu: ...Are you serious about that?

"We don't know who he is. Let's interrogate him thoroughly first."

Is there anything else I can translate or help you with from this story?
