Chapter 990 Edward Newgate (14)

The two stopped by the river and sat side by side.

Yun Ci took off her sandals and soaked her feet and calves in the cold river water at night, and exclaimed with satisfaction: "It's really cool."

Edward Newgate said: "Don't soak too long, the water is too cold."

Yun Ci: “…”

Yunci, evolved into Yun·Yinyangqi·Ci:

"As expected of you, old man with white beard. You are now more exaggerated than my father is to control me."

Edward Newgate: "..."

He said helplessly: "Don't call me that, I don't want to be your father."

Although he is indeed 10 years older than Yun Ci, when the two of them are together, they are just treating each other as peers.

Yun Ci snorted meaninglessly, and her feet swung on the water, creating ripples.

Edward Newgate looked at Yun Ci's profile and said, "We will arrive at the Fairy Island tomorrow."

"Yeah, it's been more than a year since you went home, right? I really miss the delicious food of the Elf Island."

Before they went out to sea, although they replenished a lot of supplies on the Elf Island, and the people on the ship also deliberately left the products of the Elf Island for Yun Ci to eat, it was impossible for them to eat it for a year.

"So, do you want to stay on the Elf Island for a while longer?"

"decide as things go."

According to the news from Anna, she has now begun to let her little apprentice take charge of the affairs of the Elf Island and she assists.

I think it won't be long before she chooses to step down so I can accompany her.

and.

The principle that things smell good when they are far away also applies here.

Yunci can only stay at home for three days at most, and then her parents will dislike her.

It’s more comfortable on the sea.

Yun Ci kicked up a splash of water and said, "Captain Whitebeard, can we have one more person on board?"

Edward Newgate was even more helpless, but he still kindly asked Yun Ci not to call him that, and then said: "You mean Anna, I have no objection."

Anna had discussed this matter with Edward Newgate as early as when Yun Ci agreed to board the ship.

Even if they hadn't talked about it at the time, Edward Newgate would not have refused Anna to board the ship.

There are many reasons.

But the most important thing is that if he rejected Anna, Yun Ci would also leave - Edward Newgate was sure of it.

Edward Newgate took the initiative to ask: "After saying so much, you still haven't told me what you want to talk to me about?"

"Hmm?" Yun Ci looked at him in confusion, "Hasn't the conversation already ended?"

Edward Newgate thought of Yun Ci's first words and smiled helplessly.

So she's bothered by the fact that he always meddles in her affairs?

Of course, Yunci thought of it as "management", while Edward Newgate only thought that his actions were "care".

If Yun Ci hadn't mentioned the word "manage", he really wouldn't have thought about it.

He just felt that he had received a lot of help and care from Yun Ci, so he should give back, and... he wanted to take care of Yun Ci.

Edward Newgate thought that he was not young anymore, and now he was being called "Dad" by so many young men, which made him even more reluctant to express his thoughts.

Yunci is still young.

She is very young.

Even though I thought so.

But he did not stop his sons from calling her "Auntie Yun".

My thoughts are like a balance, swaying back and forth.

No matter how conflicted he was inside, Edward Newgate never showed it on his face. He held a wine jug and sat cross-legged next to Yun Ci who was playing in the water, quietly watching her bathing in the moonlight.

Edward Newgate finally said nothing.

When returning to the camp, Yun Ci sat on Edward Newgate's shoulders and couldn't help but pull his long golden hair.

Edward Newgate supported Yun Ci tolerantly and even leaned his head towards her.

Yun Ci said unhappily: "I always feel like you treat me like your daughter."

In terms of behavior, he treated her like a junior, but his eyes were——

"Gulalalala, I swear, this is just your illusion."

He clearly treated her as a woman.

The woman who made his heart beat.

A woman who made him rarely timid.

Yun Ci saw all of Edward Newgate's struggles.

She was in no hurry to make it clear, but instead had a bit of evil interest in wanting to see how long Edward Newgate could hold it in.

The firelight in the camp flickered.

Empty beer bottles were scattered around, as well as piles of bones that they had eaten clean.

Yun Ci wrapped herself in a blanket, snuggled up next to Edward Newgate, and closed her eyes peacefully.

The flames jumped from time to time, creating a few small sparks.

Everyone noticed that Dad started staring at Aunt Yun in a daze again.

Everyone looked at each other in tacit understanding and began to communicate with their eyes...

*

Elf Island.

Anna looked at the processed documents in front of her and nodded with satisfaction.

"You are born to be this material."

The eldest disciple smiled and rubbed the sweat on his palms caused by nervousness on his clothes.

Although she is talented and confident, she still feels nervous in this kind of assessment-like scenario.

"Okay, that's all for today. You should take a rest and make sure you combine work with rest."

"is teacher."

Anna looked at her eldest disciple's back as he left. The smile on her face disappeared and she sighed in disappointment.

"A good seedling, but unfortunately he is too young..."

She couldn't do that when she was eight.

Anna believes that her apprentice can do better, the only thing she lacks is time.

She slumped weakly onto the desk, her voice echoing in the room.

"How many years will it take before I can go find the king..."

"—I guess, now."

Hearing the familiar voice, Anna raised her head suddenly and walked towards the window happily: "King!"

Yun Ci smiled and waved at Anna, then rolled into the room: "Long time no see, Anna."

Anna followed Yun Ci familiarly: "Long time no see, Wang, how long will you stay this time? Are you planning to stay a few more days?"

"Well, stay a few more days, but the first three days will be the same as usual. I'm going to live with my parents."

Anna nodded in understanding. Every time Yun Ci came back, she would stay with Yun's father and mother for three days, exactly three days, and go back to her home in town on the fourth day.

"Let's talk business." Yun Ci brought the topic back, "Anna, don't set limits for yourself. Don't forget that when you called me king, I was younger than your apprentice."

Anna was startled, then said, “That’s different.”

indeed.

Yunci was only six years old when he officially became king.

But she is different.

Her strength is beyond the reach of Anna's little apprentice.

"But, isn't she able to handle everything?"

Anna mentioned it in her letter to Yunci.

Yun Ci patted Anna's shoulder and said, "If you feel she is capable, let her try. Don't let her age limit her. Of course, this is just my suggestion. You still have to make your own decision."

Yun Ci waved her hand, said "Come to my house for dinner tonight", and left through the window again.

Anna didn't have time to say anything. She quickly walked to the window, watched Yun Ci's figure gradually disappearing, and made a decision in her heart.

She wanted to manage the town built by the king and protect the island conquered by the king.

But she wanted to take good care of the king more.

Anna stood up, straightened her clothes, quickly opened the door, and walked to the apprentice's office next door.

'Boom thump—'

"Please come in--teacher?"

"Xun, get ready. I'm going to arrange a test for you in three days..."
