I am a coroner, and I have some knowledge of martial arts!

Lijiang River.

Inside the Wupeng boat.

The boatman, looking melancholy, fiddled with the embers in the stove, glancing occasionally at Long Yujun sitting opposite him.

Difficult.

I've been in this business for hundreds of years, and this is the first time I've encountered such a troublesome situation.

Moreover, there was a stranger nearby.

"What are you two staring at each other for?"

Su Wuchen sat between the two, feeling a little awkward. "Grandpa, is there really no way to send her back?"

The boatman shook his head. "I've been in this business for hundreds of years, and I've seen countless people come and go, but this is the first time I've ever seen someone come and want to leave.

"Even if my grandfather were alive, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the ability to send her back."

"Aren't you the helmsman?"

Su Wuchen pointed to the small covered boat, "You're the helmsman now, so why don't you just take control of the boat and send her back?"

"Nonsense!"

The boatman glared at Su Wuchen and smiled, "Young boss, you're really joking. Do you even know what a helmsman is? You're just offering him up?"

Su Wuchen: "I don't know."

Boatman: "..."

Long Yujun slowly spoke, "If I can't go back, where should I go?"

The boatman glanced at her and shook his head. "Now that you're alive, you can go wherever you want."

Do you think she's Mundo?

Su Wuchen glanced at her sideways, "Wouldn't she be watched wherever she goes looking like this?"

The boatman shrugged: "Anyway, there's nothing I can do."

"Although there are signs of the River of Oblivion reviving now, the last time she forcibly escaped from it, she already washed away my tributary..."

"tributary?"

"After the boatman reaches a certain level of cultivation, he can use himself as the foundation to connect the River of Oblivion and form a tributary."

The boatman calmly explained, "I fought with her when she boarded the boat, and then my tributary was swept away by her."

"So that means we can no longer transport wandering spirits?"

"It just can't transport powerful wandering spirits anymore."

The boatman corrected him, "Ordinary wandering spirits are no problem, even seventh-grade wandering spirits are no problem, after all, I still have magic artifacts."

"But I can't send her away like this."

"Unless a True Lord of Salvation appears, or a boatman of the boat master level appears, he can sit on the boat and draw the River of Oblivion to send him back to the place of slumber."

"Otherwise, she would have no choice but to remain in the Abyss."

"But staying in the Abyss isn't so bad, at least you don't have to face those lifeless guys."

Su Wuchen glanced at Long Yujun and whispered, "What is Miss Long's cultivation level?"

Boatman: "I don't know, but he's definitely better than me."

Suddenly, the boatman looked at Su Wuchen with a smile: "As the saying goes, it takes a hundred years of cultivation to share a boat ride. You two have been companions on my Wangchuan boat, one in life and one in death. Why don't you let her come with you?"

Su Wuchen: "???"

she?

Follow me?

Is this appropriate?

"Stop fooling around."

Su Wuchen waved his hand, he dared not casually greet such a powerful figure.

It might not be good...

Once someone loses their temper, they're gone.

Suddenly, Long Yujun spoke up, "Then I'll follow you."

Su Wuchen: "???"

Boatman: "Hey, see? That solves the problem, doesn't it?"

Solve my ass!

Su Wuchen immediately glared at him. Is that how you solve problems? You're just dumping them on me!

The boatman did not back down.

If I can't handle Long Yujun, how can I not handle you?

Ok.

Su Wuchen conceded defeat, "If you could reassemble the branch of the River of Oblivion, or if you had a boatman more powerful than yourself, could you send her back?"

"That's natural."

The boatman nodded. "Even if she has reached the first rank, she is still not a living person. Even if she is a living person, a powerful being at the first rank is enough to send her to the place of slumber."

"The premise is that you can find such a skilled boatman."

"How should I address you, sir?"

"Water leaves no trace".

"Besides your grandfather, have you never apprenticed with any other boatmen, or even had any contact with them?"

"no."

The boatman, Shui Wuhen, shook his head with a smile and said, "Young boss, don't even think about it. The boatman isn't fixed. If there are other boatmen within a radius of hundreds of miles, there won't be a second one."

"Moreover, because the Land of Sleep is isolated from the Abyss, many boatmen have long lost their path to cultivation and have already switched to other cultivation methods."

"..."

Nima!

It can still be repaired!

Are you suggesting I change my major?

Su Wuchen rubbed his cheeks vigorously and turned to look at Long Yujun, who was silently watching him.

It seems there really is no way to send her back.

"In that case, you can take us back to Jiangcheng."

Su Wuchen sighed, but Shui Wuhen chuckled and said, "You don't need to act like that. For others, having a mid-level rank expert as a protector is just a dream, but you have one by your side now. Isn't that wonderful?"

Thank you so much.

Su Wuchen scoffed.

"By the way, what did you leave on me? Why am I the only one who could find you?"

"Boat pole".

"what?"

Su Wuchen's gaze unconsciously fell on the boat pole beside him.

What is this thing?

So long...

"While you were unconscious, I left you some boat poles to calm your soul."

The boatman, Shui Wuhen, chuckled and said, "Otherwise, how could you sleep peacefully under her influence, unaffected by her resentment?"

Su Wuchen nodded in realization.

Who would have thought that this seemingly inconspicuous boat pole would also be a tool for boatmen!

"Would you be interested in becoming my apprentice and a boatman?"

"To ferry people across?"

"You can also transfer people, you can also transfer souls."

"Forget it then, I'll just stick to being a coroner. I have plenty of free time, and I can even play games."

"..."

Shui Wuhen rolled her eyes. She had never seen anyone as unambitious as Su Wuchen.

Boatman.

Not everyone is capable of doing this.

It was rare to find that they got along so well, so they wanted to take him under their wing, but Su Wuchen actually refused.

Long Yujun: "He's very strong."

Su Wuchen scoffed, "Give me enough time, and I will become stronger than him."

"Ambitious."

Shui Wuhen nodded happily, "In that case, I won't take the boat pole left on you. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can find me on the banks of the Li River."

"What, are you letting me cut in line?"

"It's nothing."

"..."

The small, covered boat glided across the calm water, heading towards Jiangcheng.

The next day, in the afternoon.

The small boat with its awning successfully arrived at Jiangcheng Wharf.

With the boatman Shui Wuhen waving goodbye, Su Wuchen led Long Yujun ashore.

"Miss Long, Jiangcheng isn't a big city, and there aren't many strong individuals. Let's proceed with caution from now on, shall we?"

Long Yujun nodded.

"Um, is there anything you need to prepare?"

"unnecessary."

"Alright."

Su Wuchen smacked his lips. "If anyone asks, just say she's my cousin, but of course, it's just an act..."

"Then why not my cousin?"

"Alright."

Su Wuchen readily accepted the advice, "However, you need to change your clothes before you make your official appearance."
