In the early morning, gentle sunlight poured warmly over Yun Xue Mountain, draping this white world in a layer of golden gauze. Lin Ning slowly opened his eyes, the intense light reflecting off the snow blanketing the ground striking directly onto his melancholic face. In his eyes lay an unshakeable sense of loneliness and confusion, as if this pristine snowy landscape could not dispel it. Gazing at the distant undulating snow-capped mountains, Lin Ning felt a tumult of emotions. Once, this place held countless beautiful memories shared with Hu Xueyan, but now those moments had become mere echoes of the past. He took a deep breath of the crisp air; the biting chill seeped into his lungs but did nothing to cool the fervor and turmoil within him.
Eventually, Lin Ning turned and stepped forward with determination, leaving Yun Xue Mountain behind as he headed toward the eastern shore. Along the way, he ignored the scenery around him, his mind flooded with unforgettable images. Each step on the ground felt like a tread upon his heart. As he drew closer to the seaside, the air carried a hint of saltiness. The sea breeze gently tousled his hair. Standing on the beach, Lin Ning looked out at the boundless ocean, where waves surged repeatedly against the shore as if trying to wash away his melancholy. In that moment, he stood quietly, waiting for the sea to grant him the strength to embark anew and to find his own direction in this vast world.
By the seaside stood a stone engraved with the words "Falling Sunset And Solitary Wild Goose Fly Together, Autumn Water Joins The Long Sky In One Color." Time had left its mottled marks on it, yet did not diminish the vigor of its inscription. The waves tirelessly battered against it, whispering tales of yore. The salty sea breeze carried with it past vows made amidst eternal love and longing, softly echoing in his ears. Back then, they stood side by side here, facing the endless ocean and pledging eternal promises, their eyes filled with hope and determination for the future. Yet time was merciless; now that person was far away in Japan. Left alone to confront this vast sea, Lin Ning's heart was heavy with wistfulness. He recalled that day of parting when sunlight danced upon the sea surface, shimmering like jewels; yet she had wounded herself with a sword and left with a resolute back that vanished at the horizon.
At this moment, looking at the inscription on the stone, he seemed to see again that magnificent scene they once admired together—the sunset like brocade, solitary wild geese soaring high, autumn waters merging seamlessly with the sky. Yet now, while the scenery remained unchanged, those who shared it were far away in foreign lands. Perhaps far away Xue Yin's sister also thought of this sea on some tranquil night—remembering this stone inscribed with tender verses and that time which could never be revisited. But mountains and seas apart meant those memories could only be sealed deep within his heart, rising and falling like waves.
Lin Ning stood by the sea, where the wind howled and tugged at his clothes. Facing the majestic ocean with reddened eyes filled with gratitude and reverence, he shouted with all his might: " Xue Yin's sister! I know you are Guanyin! You saved our lives!" The surging waves seemed to respond to his call. Recalling their desperate encounter with Japan Pirates felt like yesterday; those haunting memories were vividly alive in his mind. At this moment, Lin Ning gazed out at the vast ocean with hope that Xue Yin's sister would appear again. He silently wished that if he could see her once more, he would dedicate his life to protecting her. The sea breeze continued to blow; calm returned to the ocean's surface—but Lin Ning knew this was merely a wish; he might never see his beloved Xue Yin's sister again in this lifetime.
He was lost in thoughts of Hu Xueyan when suddenly he felt someone gently patting his shoulder. Startled back to reality, he turned to find Hu Chuanmao and Cheng Yun standing behind him—he had been completely unaware of their presence. Lin Ning's eyes brightened instantly as a radiant smile spread across his face: "Father! Aunt Yun! I've missed you so much!" Hu Chuanmao looked gaunt and worn compared to how he appeared before Hu Xueyan went to Japan; it was as if he were a different person altogether. Seeing Hu Chuanmao's condition shocked Lin Ning; he quickly asked: "Father, what happened to you?" Hu Chuanmao forced a smile and waved dismissively: "It's nothing—just some worries." Cheng Yun sighed softly beside them: "Ever since Xueying went to Japan, your father has been anxious and unable to eat or sleep." Hearing this filled Lin Ning’s heart with sorrow and guilt; he grasped Hu Chuanmao's hand tightly and said with reddened eyes: "Father, it's my fault—I couldn't keep Xue Yin's sister..." Hu Chuanmao patted Lin Ning's hand reassuringly: "Child, I understand your feelings for Xueying. But given our current situation is complex, we can only wait patiently." The three stood by the sea gazing out at its vastness while silently praying for a miracle—that Hu Xueyan would return safely and reunite with her family soon. The sea breeze continued to blow; waves surged endlessly while their faith remained steadfast and profound like the ocean itself.
The sea breeze caressed them as waves crashed against rocky shores at Yunshan Island’s dock. Hu Chuanmao looked at Lin Ning quizzically and asked loudly: "What are your plans for Yunshan Island?" Lin Ning's gaze was resolute as he looked into the distance: "Father, I want to go see Diaoyu Island." Suddenly someone spoke up: "Senior Brother! You can't just leave without telling me—can I go with you to Diaoyu Island?" Lin Ning turned abruptly to find Yuan Yueming standing there! He was taken aback by her unexpected appearance and momentarily unsure how to respond. Yuan Yueming's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she fixed her gaze on him while Hu Chuanmao and Cheng Yun watched curiously.
"Yueming," Lin Ning began cautiously, "the journey to Diaoyu Island is long and fraught with danger—you're just a girl..." But Yuan Yueming stubbornly interrupted him: "Senior Brother! I'm not afraid! A little danger won't stop me—I just want to see it!" Hu Chuanmao stroked his chin thoughtfully: "Since Yueming is so determined, let her come along—it will be good for her to have someone looking out for her." Lin Ning reluctantly nodded: "Alright then—but you must follow my instructions." Yuan Yueming beamed brightly: "Okay! I'll definitely listen to you!"
The two set off in a small boat through choppy waters; Lin Ning gripped the oars tightly while gazing determinedly ahead. Though Yuan Yueming felt nervous at times, excitement shone in her eyes. Suddenly dark clouds gathered overhead; fierce winds whipped up as waves surged violently—the small boat rocked perilously atop towering swells. "Senior Brother! What do we do?" Yuan Yueming cried out in terror. "Don't be afraid! Hold onto the sides!" Lin Ning shouted back reassuringly as he strained against the oars trying desperately to stabilize their vessel. Just then a massive wave crashed down upon them—lifting their boat high before slamming it down hard again. As their small craft neared being engulfed by water, Lin Ning spotted a nearby rock formation; summoning all his strength he paddled furiously toward it. Finally managing to steady their boat beside it—they both gasped for breath relieved they had survived.
Once winds calmed slightly they resumed their journey toward Diaoyu Island. As its outline gradually came into view before them both exchanged smiles filled with anticipation—wondering what kind of adventures awaited them on this beautiful island.
After sailing for a day and night they finally arrived at Diaoyu Island! Lin Ning tied their boat securely to a rock before they both jumped onto solid ground! Stepping onto land they found lush vegetation everywhere adorned with exotic flowers and plants surrounding them as they cautiously moved forward when suddenly rustling sounds emerged from nearby bushes—a vividly colored tiger sprang forth its fierce gaze locked onto them as it bared its teeth letting out a low growl! Yuan Yueming gasped in fright instinctively hiding behind Lin Ning who quickly drew out his black-gold dagger keeping watchful eyes on their attacker.
As soon as it lunged towards them Lin Ning sidestepped swiftly slashing at its side leaving behind a deep gash causing it to roar in pain becoming even more ferocious in its assault! While defending himself he searched desperately for an opening when Yuan Yueming regained her composure picking up a rock hurling it directly at its eye striking true—the tiger howled in agony temporarily blinded by pain!
Seizing this opportunity Lin Ning charged forward plunging his dagger into its vital spot—the beast struggled briefly before collapsing lifelessly onto ground beneath them both exhaling deeply relieved they had triumphed over such danger continuing onward exploring deeper into island filled curiosity about what other surprises or secrets awaited them ahead.
