Night fell, and a thick fog rolled over the river's surface.
Once out of sight of the Cyan Wood Sword Sect, Su Yu and Qian Qinghong returned to the Giant Whale Gang's treasure ship. Although the magnificent vessel was now deserted, plenty of supplies remained in the hold and secret chambers. The two of them swept through the ship like a plague of locusts, scouring it inside and out before finally resting.
「The next morning.」
A red sun leaped from the river's surface, its myriad golden rays tearing through the morning mist and dyeing the sparkling water the color of shattered gold.
After they washed up, Su Yu inspected the treasure ship's Array. Once he confirmed everything was in order, he let the behemoth drift north with the current.
On the deck, before a large green sandalwood table.
"Qinghong, it's time to sort through the spoils. Crime pays, as they say. I'm sure we won't be disappointed."
