A few people accompanied Ling Zhenfei to the dock. Gu Feng and Mao Sharlu waved goodbye to him, and Ling Zhenfei hugged Mao Xuejing farewell.

The ship slowly set sail. Gu Feng informed Ling Zhenfei that Lin Yuluo had already been sent to Sydney ahead of time.

It was assumed that Lin Yuluo was currently with Xiao Yaqing, which made Ling Zhenfei feel somewhat reassured.

The ship that took Ling Zhenfei away was piloted by Zhang Bin. Also on board was He Kun. The three of them sat on the deck, brewing a pot of tea, slowly enjoying life at sea.

Zhang Bin said, "Brother Ling, oh no, I mean, Prince Ling."

Ling Zhenfei replied, "What prince or not, we're all brothers, no need for all the fuss."

Zhang Bin said, "Alright, you're the one who said it. Brother Ling, I'm very curious, why do you want to return to Huaxia? Isn't it nice to make something of yourself in Moergawa?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Indeed, Moergawa is a great place, but it's still relatively backward compared to other places. However, all of that will change.

I've already talked to Gu Feng. The ultimate goal is to make Moergawa a world tourism island, attracting people with its beautiful scenery. The first thing I want to do is develop the transportation, build an airport, so that people can enter Moergawa in the most comfortable way."

Zhang Bin said, "That's a good idea, but where will you get that much money for big constructions?"

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Gu Feng will find a way."

The calm and tranquil sea was indeed very rare, and chatting made time fly by for the three of them.

Zhang Bin was very open and cheerful, making everything sound interesting, and he even taught Ling Zhenfei how to fish at sea.

The experience of fishing on the ocean was truly exhilarating. Although he had just learned, Ling Zhenfei could see the schools of fish below the water, so he managed to catch two big fish.

The boat sailed through the night, and the next morning, Ling Zhenfei and Zhang Bin got up early to fish. Ling Zhenfei realized he had grown to enjoy this activity, reflecting on many things while battling the big fish.

Fish have great strength in water, but on land, they become utterly helpless, at the mercy of others. Trying to haul a big fish from the sea using sheer force simply won't work.

When contending with a fish, one must be very mindful of the timing. If you pull too hard, you risk breaking the rod. You need to give and take, release a little, reel in more, to slowly bring the fish closer.

This is much like how one should conduct themselves and handle matters: with moderation and restraint, enabling better adaptation to life in this world.

"Brother Ling, look, we are now in international waters, half a day more, and we'll reach Sydney's territory."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Is what we're doing to reach Sydney considered illegal immigration?"

Zhang Bin laughed and said, "What's wrong with illegal immigration? Weren't the earliest settlers to Sydney all illegal immigrants? These days, are there even any locals in Sydney?"

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "That's a pretty reasonable take."

At this time, He Kun shouted to Ling Zhenfei, "Look quickly, there's a ship not far away."

Ling Zhenfei and Zhang Bin hurriedly looked into the distance, and sure enough, they saw a big ship. This ship was much larger than theirs and even had defensive cannons on board.

Ling Zhenfei's vision was excellent, allowing him to see clearly, but Zhang Bin and He Kun had to use binoculars.

He Kun, after looking through the binoculars, exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no, that's Song Mingyi's ship."

Ling Zhenfei and Zhang Bin were both taken aback. Zhang Bin said, "That can't be, I drove Song Mingyi away; they weren't on this ship at that time."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Indeed, how can you be so sure it's Song Mingyi's ship?"

He Kun said, "Because Song Mingyi knew that rebellion was extremely dangerous, he kept a ship like this on international waters as an escape vessel in case of danger."

Zhang Bin curiously asked, "How do you know this?"

He Kun said, "I spent some time by Song Mingyi's side, of course, I would know."

Ling Zhenfei said, "This ship does belong to Song Mingyi, but now it's stationary on the sea. If we approach it, we'll definitely be discovered."

Zhang Bin asked, "What should we do, go around it or stop?"

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "That ship is armed with cannons that we can't defend against. I think we should go around."

Zhang Bin went over to instruct the helmsman to steer further away to avoid being spotted by the big ship.

But they realized it was too late; the large ship had already spotted them and suddenly fired a cannon at their vessel.

Instantly, the sea erupted with gunfire, and explosions caused countless sprays of water around their ship. Fortunately, they were still at a distance, so their aim wasn't precise.

Any accurately fired shells missed their mark due to the influence of Ling Zhenfei's Northern Spiritual Energy, landing beside the ship instead.

Zhang Bin worriedly said, "What shall we do? Even if our boat runs, it's not as fast as that big ship."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Let's keep moving and see if that ship continues to pursue us."

The small boat circled the big ship, but the big ship moved in a straight line toward the small boat, making it difficult for the smaller boat to escape due to the larger ship's speed and power.

Ling Zhenfei felt a bit anxious and told Zhang Bin and He Kun, "If we get caught, so be it. You two hide in the cabin; those onboard probably don't know me. Maybe if they see that they don't know me, they'll let me go."

Zhang Bin and He Kun had no choice but to comply. Ling Zhenfei remained outside the cabin, and He Kun stayed inside. The small boat slowed down and was quickly overtaken.

The larger ship drew nearer, and the people on it became very visible.

He Kun shouted from the cabin to Ling Zhenfei, "It's really Song Mingyi; look, the one in brown clothes is him."

Ling Zhenfei looked toward the ship and indeed saw a considerable number of people, one of them standing out in a brown outfit. This man was tall, with distinct features, clearly not an ordinary person.

Surrounded by many soldiers, all holding guns, they looked intimidating.

As they came alongside, a man appeared on the forward deck, gazing at Ling Zhenfei from afar.

He Kun said from the cabin to Ling Zhenfei, "This man is Song Yu, Song Mingyi's number one henchman. He's done a lot of bad things, with many ideas coming from him."

Ling Zhenfei noted this, figuring this must be akin to an adviser.

At that moment, the two ships nearly touched. From the higher vantage on the larger ship, Song Yu observed Ling Zhenfei and called out, "Where do you come from, my friend?"

Ling Zhenfei quickly responded, "I come from Moergawa."
