Chapter 953: The Secret About the Past

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhou Jin slept for three days. When he woke up, the ship had already left the deserted island and was heading to its next destination.

Although Zhou Yuyan was a spoiled young lady, she was not bad at all towards her junior brother. She wanted to bring Zhou Jin to take care of him personally. Or perhaps it was because she had experienced a life and death disaster on a deserted island, but after returning to the ship, her personality had restrained a little. At least, she no longer had an attitude for Yu Wan.

Yu Wan was reading in her room. Yan Jiuchao was resting beside her. Shadow Thirteen walked in and looked at the resting Young Master. He lowered his voice and said, “Young Madam, Mu Qing’s junior brother is awake.”

“Oh? Is that so?” Yu Wan put down the medical book in her hand and looked at Yan Jiuchao. The weather at sea was stuffy and hot. The window was open, and a sea breeze slowly blew over, but she was still sweating slightly. Yu Wan unbuttoned Yan Jiuchao’s collar and nodded at Shadow Thirteen.

Shadow Thirteen understood and turned to leave the room.

Yu Wan and Shadow Thirteen went to Zhou Yuyan’s room. Old Cui had already been fished over by Shadow Six. He took Zhou Jin’s pulse with a bad expression.

“He’s fine! He’s fine! The Gu poison is also cleared.”

“But he’s been unconscious for so long…” Shadow Six muttered.

“It’s because he inhaled too much numbing powder. Who was so heavy-handed? A child of eight or nine years old…” Old Cui cursed as he put away the box.

“Don’t you need to prescribe some medicine?” Zhou Yuyan asked worriedly. “My junior brother’s complexion is so bad.”

“The child will be fine after a few days of recuperation!” Old Cui yawned. Little Six had woken him up halfway through his sleep. He was so sleepy! Old Cui threw the medicine box into Shadow Six’s arms and rolled his eyes.

“Alright, it’s me again.” Shadow Six carried the medicine box and planned to send it back to Old Cui’s room. When he walked out of the room, he happened to meet Yu Wan and Shadow Thirteen, who had come to visit Zhou Jin.

“Young Madam, you’re here.” Shadow Six smiled and greeted her.

“Yes, I’m here to see Zhou Jin,” Yu Wan said.

“Oh, I’ll send the box to Old Cui first!” With that, Shadow Six carried the box and left.

Shadow Thirteen frowned slightly and chased after him. He took the heavy box from him and helped him send it to Old Cui’s room.

Zhou Jin’s condition was quite good. Other than being a little sore and weak, everything else was normal. Yu Wan asked the kitchen to make a bowl of millet porridge for him. He was not picky and obediently finished it. “Much more obedient than you,” Yu Wan said to Zhou Yuyan.

Zhou Yuyan snorted and turned her face away!

Zhou Jin was the youngest among them, but he was also the calmest. When he woke up, he realized that he had come to an unfamiliar place. He did not show any panic, nor was he in a hurry to ask what had happened and where he was.

He had been hungry for so many days and was already famished. However, he was not in a hurry to be rough when he ate. He had a nobility and elegance that seemed to come from his bones.

Yu Wan sat down on the chair opposite him. “You’re Zhou Jin?”

“Yes,” he said calmly.

Yu Wan sized up his appearance. Was it because he was the descendant of the Sorcerer King? Not only was his actions and bearing extraordinary, but even his appearance was more outstanding than children his age. Moreover, he was not arrogant or rash and was as steady as Mount Tai. He really had the

potential co cal-Ke on a Dig responsiD111ty.

She liked this child! Yu Wan’s hand gently bulged on her stomach as she asked him, “How old are you?”

“I’ll be nine next month,” Zhou Jin said.

“Do you know your current situation?” Yu Wan asked.

Zhou Jin paused.

Zhou Yuyan said, “I haven’t had the chance to tell him yet!”

“Your master has passed away,” Yu Wan said bluntly.

“Hey! You!” Zhou Yuyan stomped her feet anxiously. “How can you tell my junior brother such a thing? He’s still a child!”

Zhou Jin lowered his head slightly and did not say anything. His thin body seemed a little lonely in the room. He was sad. However, he did not want anyone to see his sadness.

This was a child who would not be easily swayed by emotions. In terms of temperament, he had defeated his senior brothers and sisters too much.

“I’m fine, Senior Sister,” he said to Zhou Yuyan. With that, he looked at Yu Wan, his clear eyes as if there were stars. “Thank you for telling me.”

“Junior Brother…” Zhou Yuyan choked.

Zhou Jin said sadly, “Master treats me like his own. I’m very regretful that I couldn’t send him off.”

There was also a melancholic temperament on this child.

Yu Wan patted the folding fan in her hand. “My condolences. The dead are gone. The living still have to continue living. I believe that your master in heaven definitely doesn’t want to see you wallow in your pain. Alright, let’s not be polite. I’ll tell you the details of your situation later. Now that we’re going to the Sorcerer Clan, you have to go with us. Do you have anything to say about the Sorcerer Clan?”

“No.” Zhou Jin shook his head.

Yu Wan nodded and said, “Do you remember anything about your background?”

Zhou Jin shook his head again.

Zhou Yuyan hugged Zhou Jin and said with heartache, “Don’t ask him. He doesn’t know anything. He was only three years old when he came to my house. What do you expect a three-year-old child to remember?”

Yu Wan said, “He knows that he’s not your father’s biological son. It’s obvious that your father has never hidden it from him, or never tried to.”

“I…” Zhou Yuyan was speechless.

Yu Wan looked at Zhou Jin and said, “You just woke up and your mind is still a little confused. When you remember, get someone to tell me. The more you

Imow, the more beneficial it is for this trip.” Yu Wan stood up and walked out of the room.

“Flowers,” Zhou Jin said.

Yu Wan nodded in confusion and turned around with her folding fan. “What flowers?”

“Purple flowers,” Zhou Jin muttered.

Yu Wan patted her palm with her folding fan. “There are purple flowers at the place you lived when you were young?”

“Yes.” Zhou Jin nodded.

Zhou Jin could not answer what kind of flower it was.

“Alright. At least I know that your house has flowers, and they’re purple flowers.” Yu Wan smiled, opened her folding fan, and tightened it again. Who didn’t have purple flowers?! This was like finding a needle in a haystack, okay?!

Yu Wan gritted her teeth and took a deep breath before leaving!

“Young Madam, are you worried that you won’t be able to find the Sorcerer King?” After Shadow Thirteen sent the box back to Old Cui’s room, he returned in time and happened to hear Yu Wan and Zhou Jin’s conversation.

“Among these many people on the ship, no one has been to the Sorcerer Clan. I wonder what the Sorcerer King looks like, what his habits are, and if it’s easy to see him. Also.” Yu Wan frowned and said, “I thought that with this child, we could successfully enter the Sorcerer Clan. From the looks of it, I’m afraid we have to hide him.”

“Because he’s from the Sorcerer Clan?” Shadow Thirteen asked.

Yu Wan shook her head. “It’s not because he’s a member of the Sorcerer Clan, but because he’s a member of the Sorcerer Clan who was sent out of the Sorcerer Clan. He’s the descendant of the Sorcerer King and has such powerful talent. Logically speaking, he should be a treasure of the Sorcerer Clan. However, he was secretly raised in a small place like the Jade Nation and his sorcery power was even sealed. In my opinion, he’s most likely a child who can’t see the light of day. However, he has the mark left behind by the Sorcerer King, which means that the Sorcerer King acknowledges this child.”

“So something must have happened to the Sorcerer Clan,” Shadow Thirteen said after a moment of silence. “No wonder Madam wanted to investigate his background. Only by knowing who he is can we better avoid the risks his background might bring.”

“Unfortunately, this child can’t remember anything.” Yu Wan shook her head regretfully. She thought of something and said, “By the way, is Old Cui’s dye ready?”

“It’s done,” Shadow Thirteen said.

Yu Wan sighed. “It hurts a little, but for his life, I can only let him feel pain.”

Shadow Thirteen said seriously, “I’ll do it now.” After a while, Shadow Thirteen came to Zhou Yuyan’s room with a bowl of black dye and a row of small silver needles.

Zhou Yuyan had long been informed. When she saw the tool in his hand, she understood what to do next. She guarded the door. “W-wait a moment.” Shadow Thirteen nodded.

Zhou Yuyan closed the door and walked to Zhou Jin’s side. She whispered to him, “Junior Brother, don’t go to the Sorcerer Clan! The Sorcerer Clan is dangerous! I’ll bring you away!”

No matter how stupid she was, she could guess that something was wrong. With her junior brother’s talent and background, he should be worshiped high. However, he hid in the Zhou family like a pearl covered in dust. It must be that the Sorcerer Clan could not tolerate her junior brother!

“Senior Sister, I’m not leaving,” Zhou Jin said.

“You’ll die!” Zhou Yuyan stomped her feet anxiously.

“My life should have been gone on the island long ago.” Zhou Jin pushed open the window, and a heatwave-like sea breeze blew over. “Now, it’s been picked up by someone.”

Shadow Thirteen spent an hour making a tattoo for Zhou Jin and covered his sorcerer king mark. The mark was extremely deep, and Shadow Thirteen had no choice but to stab it deeply.

Zhou Jin bit the wood and did not let himself cry out in pain. After the tattoo was done, even a man like Shadow Thirteen could not help but admire this child’s tenacity.

Shadow Thirteen packed his tools and let Zhou Jin rest well. Zhou Jin did not rest. Instead, he put on his clothes and went to the deck.

Today was Master’s 35th day since his death.

The thin figure stood against the wind. He looked up at the towering sky.

The calm sea suddenly surged with wind, clouds, and lightning. Not long after, dark clouds covered the sun and a heavy rain fell.

The thin figure stood in the rain, his aura like a rainbow.

He bowed his noble body in the direction of the Jade Nation and kowtowed
