The Azure Sea and Blue Sky stretched endlessly before him. In the vastness of the Cang Hai, anyone could deeply feel their own insignificance, just a mere speck in the grand scheme of things.
Unlike the great rivers, Chen Tao, as the instructor, had no assigned duties on this ship. He had plenty of time to spend leisurely. His reason for boarding was to personally experience sailing on the sea, which would better equip him to teach his students.
Before Chen Tao could ponder further, he suddenly heard someone shouting about pirates from above. He quickly looked up to see a lookout on the mast wildly waving flags, signaling that they were preparing for battle.
Pirates? Were they out of their minds? Chen Tao glanced around in disbelief; he was standing on the deck and could still see two Giant Ships nearby. Such enormous vessels looked like three wooden mountains floating on the sea from a distance! What kind of reckless pirates would dare to cause trouble for them?
Before Chen Tao could relay any thoughts, a messenger responsible for watching the flag signals quickly sought out Wu Qianchuan. As he ran to find him, he shouted warnings to prepare for an enemy encounter. All the sailors stood ready at their posts.
Upon receiving the messenger's news, Wu Qianchuan calmly walked to the bow of the ship. In the distance, more than a dozen small black dots were approaching them through the choppy waves.
At this moment, Chen Tao felt uncertain: "Brother Wu, is this part of His Highness's drill?" Unlike the other sailors who were fully alert, Chen Tao whimsically thought that these pirates were actually allies. Perhaps they had intentionally raised pirate flags to simulate a naval battle with the sailors.
Otherwise, how could a few small pirate ships dare to challenge three Giant Ships? Were they courting death? If they wanted to die, they could just jump into the sea instead of going through all this trouble to bring their ships over and give the sailors a chance to earn glory.
What kind of kind-hearted pirates existed in this world?
Wu Qianchuan, with a solemn expression, was momentarily taken aback by Chen Tao's question. His thoughts became disjointed, and he struggled to respond. Chen Tao didn’t think his idea was absurd; he continued sharing his thoughts: "Brother Wu, you know that His Highness has asked me to occasionally push them into the water when the sailors are unprepared."
This was meant to help them adapt to the panic of suddenly falling into the water, always reminding them to operate the Cang Hai Jue.
The prince had so many thoughts; perhaps arranging for fake pirates to come and practice was a possibility? Don’t worry, I won’t tell the other sailors.
Wu Qianchuan's face began to twitch as he looked at Chen Tao, as if he were gazing at some kind of unparalleled fool. The camera even zoomed in on Wu Qianchuan's expression, amusing many viewers who were following the drama.
"Hahaha! I can't hold it in anymore; that look, that expression of disbelief is killing me!"
"To be fair, Chen Tao's idea is indeed ridiculous."
"Wow, I thought the production team was going to shoot another cliché traditional martial arts story, but now the protagonist is being tricked onto the villain's ship. I was ready for a new era!"
Wu Qianchuan couldn't help but raise his hand, pressing his thumb and index finger against his cheeks to prevent excessive twitching: "Chen Jiaotou is overthinking it."
In the waters of Xia City, there were indeed pirates.
I grew up in Xia City; not only there, but most ships traveling along the coast had suffered from pirate raids.
Chen Tao felt quite embarrassed; according to Wu Qianchuan, pirates were not part of the practice at all—it was all just his own overthinking.
