Chapter: 1778
Then he heard Yul Ayeon�s voice.
�We�re falling behind. We need to speed up.�
�Yes!�
Tae Musang quickly snapped out of his reverie and replied.
Now was not the time to wallow in self-pity.
He had an important job of keeping up with the departing boat.
Tae Musang made fine adjustments to the sails to increase the speed of their boat. It didn�t take long for their boat to narrow the distance and chase after the boat Jin Yoo-gun boarded.
The boat carrying the three of them sailed out into the open sea.
Everything around them was dark.
The darkness of the sea created an indescribable sense of terror. No one knew what dangers lurked in the depths of such darkness. Because of this, even seasoned fishermen feared venturing out to sea at night.
Tae Musang, himself also had limited experience sailing at open sea at night. He even had less less experience sailing the ship himself. That�s why he felt more tense.
Squinting his eyes, Tae Musang chased after the boat Jin Yoo-gun was on. Luckily, the boat the three of them was chasing had a torch lit at their deck, aiding their navigation. That made the pursuit relatively easier.
Pyo-wol stood on the deck, staring at the boat Jin Yoo-gun was on.
The boat Jin Yoo-gun was on continued sailing on a straight path without changing direction. They were heading straight towards its destination. This was evidence that they hadn�t yet realized they were being pursued by Pyo-wol�s boat.
Yul Ayeon stared at one side of Pyo-wol�s face without speaking.
�What an interesting person.�
Yul Ayeon had made a rational judgment that Jin Yoo-gun and his men might return to the harbor. After all, the only place they could escape to was the harbor.
Pyo-wol, on the other hand, had gone as far as the Sea Dragon Sect in pursuit of them. He wouldn�t have had the luxury to think otherwise.
Although Tarha, her maternal grandfather, couldn�t come due to being held back by Jin Yoo-gun�s men, Pyo-wol naturally boarded the boat as if he knew she would be waiting.
This behavior struck Yul Ayeon as peculiar, yet fascinating.
At least among the people she knew so far, there was no one like Pyo-wol.
As if sensing Yul Ayeon�s gaze, Pyo-wol turned his head to look at her.
�What is it?�
�It�s nothing.�
Yul shook her head slightly.
It was then.
�Oh, the ship they�re on is slowing down. It seems like they�ve reached their destination.�
Tae Musang spoke in a loud voice.
Pyo-wol and Yul Ayeon hurriedly turned their gazes towards the boat Jin Yoo-gun was on. Just as Tae Musang had said, the speed of the boat Jin Yoo-gun was on was noticeably decreasing.
A small island could be seen where the boat carrying Jin Yoo-gun was headed. The island that had been shrouded in darkness finally faintly revealed its shape. JrNovels.com
