Nangong Zhiyun opened her eyes and saw Bai Su leaning against the edge of the canopy boat with a smile playing at the corner of his mouth, shallow as plain silk, casually saying, "The old man flatters me. I know only the theory, not the reality. Even now, seeing the Hai Wu Zu, I wouldn't know if it's worth exploring beneath these waters."
The boatman felt appreciated by her respect, stroked his beard, and while looking into the water, said, "Whether the Hai Wu Zu are here to gather spirit or if there are treasures underwater actually depends on their numbers. Too few, and it might be because they're following the undercurrents of the Spiritual Tide. They are scattered, so what we see is sparse."
Yue Jinyunxue, curious, asked subconsciously, "What if there are too many? Wouldn't that mean they're attracted by a treasure?"
The boatman, "If there are too many, then... *cough cough*!"
Qin Yu, "If there are too many, it's for breeding."
