Chapter 61: Reversal

  Thanks for Su's vote!

  Inside the dining hall of Nanhai, Zhou Lun had just finished his meal. He was about to stand up when he heard a commotion outside the door accompanied by rapid footsteps.

  "What's going on? What happened outside?" Zhou Lun sternly asked.

  "It's probably Zhao Yao or Wang Lao San who have returned!" a close follower said casually.

  "Hmm, go out and take a look at what's going on?" Zhou Lun said. He was a more cautious person.

  He walked to the door and asked loudly: "What's going on outside? What's happening?"

  At this time, a sailor said: "Zhao Erge and others have captured the Fourth Master, and asked us to bring him over first. They also said that they will go to capture that little thief from the Yue family."

  "That's great! Bring in Yang Yue quickly... no, bring in the Fourth Master!"

  He immediately walked back to the dining hall with a smile and said to Zhou Lun: "Third master, great! Yang Yue has been caught!"

  Did he catch Yang Yue? Zhou Lun's heart suddenly felt a thrill of excitement. He immediately got up and walked towards the door.

  At this time, a pirate with a mask and tall stature pushed Yang Yue in, her hands were tied behind her back.

  Zhou Lun's stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he burst out laughing: "Fourth sister, you've finally admitted defeat, right? Going against heaven is not possible! The only way out is to surrender to the Great Jin Dynasty..."

  Yang Yue saw him, but her face suddenly turned cold, and she said angrily: "Zhou Lun! When we came out of Dongting together, we all said that we would share honor and shame, live and die together. But when the Golden Country gave you a little sweetness, you actually dared to lay hands on your own sworn brother. Do you still have any conscience and righteousness? What did you do to Second Brother?"

  "Second brother? Are you referring to Huang Cheng? I was still hoping to persuade him to surrender to the Jin Dynasty! Zhou Lun sneered and said: "As a result, he didn't know how to appreciate kindness, like a stone in a latrine, both smelly and hard. He even said that if my big brother and I wanted to be stubborn, he would leave the Four Seas Gang... Hmph, our gang can't tolerate traitors, how could we let him go so easily? So, I had no choice but to execute family law and get rid of him!"

  Yang Yue had actually already guessed that her second brother, Huang Cheng, might have met with misfortune, but when she heard Zhou Lun say so with her own ears, she couldn't help but feel extreme sorrow and almost fainted. The one-eyed pirate behind her quickly pinched her slender waist from behind, which made her come to her senses again.

  At this moment, Zhou Lun had already walked to the front of Yang Yue, and just as he was about to say something else, he suddenly discovered that Yang Yue was staring at him with a gaze that seemed to see right through him.

  He felt a sudden chill in his heart, knowing that something was amiss. Just as he was about to retreat, Yang Yue suddenly moved. Her slender hands, which had been behind her back, suddenly shot out towards his temples, each grasping a sharp dagger.

  He's been had, he's fallen into a trap! This was Zhou Lian's final thought.

  In fact, with his agility, even if he encountered Yang Yue's sudden attack, he could have dodged it. However, the one-eyed pirate beside Yang Yue suddenly pounced forward and grabbed his arms, making it impossible for him to avoid.

  After a heart-wrenching scream, Zhou Lun fell to the ground with great reluctance. The vitality in his eyes gradually disappeared as the dagger pierced him, and two blood holes appeared on his temples. Fresh blood mixed with white brain matter flowed onto the wooden deck of the ship.

  The trusted followers of Zhou Lun in the cabin were all stunned. They had never thought that, at this moment, their master would become a corpse.

  After a moment, a trusted follower shouted: "Everyone, get up! Chop this cheap person to avenge Third Master!"

  At this time, several others suddenly woke up and picked up their weapons to pounce on Yang Yue.

  Yang Yue let out a cold laugh and with a swift swing of her dagger, she immediately charged forward.

  And the one-eyed pirate next to her also tore off his eye patch... It turned out that he was actually Yue Yun in disguise.

  Yue Yun also raised the strange knife in his hand, slanting and stabbing forward at a close attendant who was about to bow his head. The attendant only felt a chill on his neck, then saw Yang Yue's knife shadow flash before him. A turbid stream of blood spurted out with his life force, he knelt down with both legs, powerless, and fell to one side...

  Immediately afterwards, Yue Yun sent the knife to the back, just stabbed into another person who attempted to sneak up from behind and stab him in the abdomen. Then, regardless of that person's miserable cry, he kicked him flying with one foot, raised his hands and held the knife with great force, just blocking a pirate's incoming knife on the side...

  After about a cup of tea, the five or six personal attendants around Zhou Lun had all been killed. The fake one-eyed dragon pirate who was stripped of his clothes and eye mask by Yue Yun trembled with fear as he led more than ten sailors into the dining hall. They were shocked at the sight of the corpses scattered all over the floor.

  Yang Yue saw them coming in, and her cold and beautiful face was tinged with a hint of sharpness as she said: "Lü Hao, Song Zhong! You two have also been with my second brother for many years. Although you can't be considered his trusted confidants, he has indeed treated you well. Now, the murderer Zhou Lun who killed my second brother and his accomplices have already been killed by me! I'll give you a chance to choose: are you going to follow me or follow Zhou Lun?"

  Lü Hao was the fake one-eyed dragon, while Song Zhong was a middle-aged fat man. The two of them held the positions of second mate and bosun on the ship.

  The two of them thought to themselves after hearing Yang Yue's words, is there even a choice? Who dares to say anything to Zhou Lun? Probably the moment they speak up, Yang Yue will definitely make them follow Zhou Lun to their graves.

  Then the two of them said in unison: "We will certainly follow the orders of the four masters..."

  "Alright! Since you're willing to listen to me, do as I say! Go send a signal for Wang Lao San to come back! As for what's next, I'll instruct you myself!" Yang Yue said coldly.

  "It's...". The two of them knew in their hearts that from this moment on, they could only be tied together with Yang Yue.

  Not long after, Wang Lao San, who was still searching in the waters about a mile away from the ship, heard the sailors on the boat calling for these eight people to return.

  He heard that and said to Zhao Yao dozens of feet away: "Yao brother, the boat is calling me back. I guess San Dangjia has made some discovery."

  Zhai Yao Yi listened and didn't think much of it, casually saying: "Alright then, by the way, ask Third Master when he's going to call us back for dinner, everyone's getting a bit hungry."

  Wang Lao San nodded and beckoned his seven subordinates to head towards the Nanhai No. 1 yacht.

  Zhao Yaofang withdrew his gaze and said to the pirates beside him, "Let's continue searching! Be careful and check that coral reef over there, see if they're hiding behind the rocks..."

  After another incense stick's worth of time, Zhao Yao heard the sailors on the Nanhai number calling him to return to the ship as well.

  Zhao Yao felt a slight sense of curiosity in his heart, wondering why Zhou Lun didn't let Wang Lao San replace himself to continue the search. Had he already found Yang Yue?

  "Let's go! We should also head back! It's time for us to fill our bellies too!" Zhao Yao said to the men beside him.

  Those pirates also showed joy on their faces and shouted that their bellies were about to stick to their backbones.

  They swam to the side of the ship and saw a few sailors throwing down several rope ladders for them to climb up.

  Zhao Yao had just climbed onto the deck when he felt that something was not quite right. He saw that his group of people were all surrounded in the middle, while all around them were sailors holding crossbows, with the cold glinting arrowheads pointing directly at them. It's just that because they were all crouching down, Zhao Yao and the others hadn't seen them when they were on the surface of the water.

  "Lü Hao, Song Zhong, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to rebel?" Zhao Yao's face turned red with rage as soon as he saw that the leaders were Lü Hao, the former second mate of the Nanhai, and Song Zhong, the leader of the sailors.

  "It's probably you who are rebelling! The second master, a hero for a lifetime, unexpectedly died at the hands of you villains!" A clear and sharp voice rang out.

  Zhao Yao looked carefully and saw two handsome young men and women walking out, who were Yang Yue and Yue Yun.

  "Ah! Fourth Master, is that you? You've actually returned to the ship and taken control of the situation?" Zhao Yao's face turned pale with shock. Just as he was about to draw out the dagger at his waist, he was immediately pinned down by Lü Hao, who held a strange knife to his neck.
