His five senses and understanding of everything were far better than others, so it's not surprising that Wu Suowei could foresee this.

"Why would I scare you? You'll find out soon enough whether my words are true or not. Just wait and see."

Wu Suowei reminded Tang Rao to stay safe on the remaining journey, and if there was danger, to stay with Wu Suowei. Wu Suowei was far more familiar with the ship than Tang Rao, and key moments might call for operating the ship to save their lives.

"Master, I trust you this time."

Tang Rao looked at Wu Suowei with eyes filled with admiration.

"You're right to trust me. Does a master deceive his disciple?"

Wu Suowei and Tang Rao were fine for about the time it takes an incense stick to burn — yes, that's exactly how long — when the small boat suddenly started to shake violently.

This sturdy and durable little boat was shaking so fiercely that even Tang Rao, unprepared, suddenly fell over.

For Tang Rao, who had rarely suffered losses, this was undoubtedly a massive blow.

"Master, has it started?"

Thanks to Wu Suowei's earlier warning, Tang Rao quickly got up after the fall, and they saw waves spiraling around the boat while the sea elsewhere remained calm. Only around their boat was tumultuous.

"It started, no surprise to me."

Wu Suowei quickly recovered and used his Divine Sense to cover the area, only to discover it couldn't extend out at all, nearly driving him to panic.

"I thought it was just a minor issue; it seems we've encountered a big problem."

In such situations, Wu Suowei felt helpless too.

There are many experts in this world; if you're formidable, others can outdo you, with big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating shrimp — an eternal truth.

If you're weak, you can only blame yourself for being targeted and bullied by the strong.

"Who goes there?"

Before Wu Suowei could speak, Tang Rao asked.

If they were friendly, they would talk; if they meant trouble, they'd show force before revealing themselves.

From Tang Rao's experience, it was certainly a show of force.

"Oh my, I thought some big shot was showing off their Divine Skills with Magic Artifacts, turns out it's just a lackey lording over the ship."

The newcomer appeared young, but from the voice and tone, it didn't match the appearance at all.

"Stop looking, this person is wearing a Human Skin Mask. If you want to see what's under it, you'd have to kill them."

Wu Suowei clarified for Tang Rao.

"Wearing a Human Skin Mask? Really, have you no shame?"

Is it because you're too ugly to face people, or what? Why wear a mask then?

"Good people naturally don't need masks. It's because they've done too many evil deeds and made too many enemies, using a false face and voice to show themselves. While this person's strength exceeds ours, their character is lowly."

Wu Suowei, being much older, had seen more of the world. His explanation cleared Tang Rao's muddled mind.

"Alright, it seems they aren't a good person, so it's fine to fight them, huh?"

Tang Rao must have hearing issues. Wu Suowei just said this person was stronger, yet he dared provoke them.

"Sure, go ahead and fight them if you think you're going to live longer, feel free to try."

They could still chat leisurely, relying on the small boat's powerful Array. Even someone stronger needs effort to break this Array.

"Forget it, I give up, I give up."

Tang Rao waved his hands repeatedly. It's wise not to fight with an Evil; can't beat them, might as well outrun them, right?

After observing Wu Suowei's maneuvering, Tang Rao got the hang of controlling the ship and instinctively thought of hiding in the Beast Sea when the Evil came at them.

How long can you last above the Beast Sea, a day, two, three?

Surely you can't wait up there forever?

No matter how strong you are, you still need to eat, drink, and rest, right?

Even if you overcome these challenges, if the Sea Beasts get hungry and see something flying overhead, could they resist?

In summary, if staying in the sea indefinitely is possible, he would never surface. If the villain wants to wait, let them wait.

But, Tang Rao considered everything except one thing: what if the figure above wanted to force Tang Rao out from below?

Just like the turbulent waters earlier, dragging Tang Rao out would mean the end for him.

Be absolutely miserable.

Thinking of this, tears nearly welled in Tang Rao's eyes.

It seemed Wu Suowei had the same thought. They exchanged a glance and pushed the small boat in one direction with all their strength.

"Quickly, that idiot is truly a Madman. With so much power, why chase us? What do we have that he could possibly want?"

As they fled, Tang Rao cursed, angst-ridden from the hectic journey and now the chase, ruining his mood.

"What would he want? What did you flaunt in front of the big ship earlier? Aren't you aware?"

Wu Suowei's eyes dulled, not expecting his often duped disciple would turn tables and make him realize his mistake.

"I'm not aware? You mean, he's after this ship?"

Could this be any worse? Tang Rao was merely showing off a bit; he didn't really mean to flaunt. If he was targeted because of it, his heart wouldn't sit well with it.

"If not, do you have anything else valuable enough to catch his eye and be worth something? Seems like nothing else, right?"

Indeed, besides the ship, what could someone of such stature possibly care about?

"Even if what you say is right, what should we do now? This ship surely has escape functions. Just show something and we can be saved! Why keep it hidden at such a time?"

Tang Rao had high hopes for Wu Suowei, but Wu Suowei clearly lacked confidence in himself.

"Good disciple, honestly, there's something I always wanted to tell you."

Wu Suowei kept his head low as he fled, explaining to Tang Rao powerlessly.

"In truth, I've already shown you all the functions. At that time, I thought this ship was the most powerful in All Divine Realm, never considering a need to escape one day."

With his mysterious confidence finally shown, Tang Rao witnessed Wu Suowei's logic today.

"If you now tell me you were joking, maybe I could forgive you, my dear master."
