The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

"Old man, we are definitely not bad people. We have something important to discuss with Lord Zuo."

When Mu Yibai and his companions approached, they heard Chen Jianzhong explaining to a boatman.

They arrived too late, the boats were out of service, and the daily traffic between the island and shore personnel was regular.

Boats are only sent out to deliver goods or carry people, and strangers will not be allowed to the island easily.

"Then we won't be leaving today. Let's wait until tomorrow!"

The boatman was determined. He didn't know the origins of the person in front of him, so he had to report it first.

"Can we rent a boat from you? You can set the rent as you like, and we will return it on time."

Chen Jianzhong understood that they came in a hurry and the people here lived a comfortable life, so their rash arrival would inevitably arouse suspicion.

"It's not that I don't want to rent it. We have a rule here that we don't send out boats at night without reason. Even though it's still early, you won't be able to reach the island before dark. You might be in danger by then. I think you should rest on the shore for a night. I'll take you there tomorrow morning."

The boatman gave another reason, they usually didn't sail at night, and definitely not tonight.

He wanted to go to the island to report the news while they were resting, and he had no say on whether to allow anyone to go to the island or not.

"Old man, we have something urgent to discuss with Chief Baili. We will take care of the safety issues ourselves."

Fu Yunxi listened to their conversation and stepped forward decisively.

Didn't Mu Aiguo say that she was 90% similar to Baili Zixia? Maybe she succeeded with this face?

"Miss Zixia—are you Miss Zixia?"

Just as Fu Yunxi expected, the boatman was surprised when he saw her.

It seems that he and Baili Zixia look very similar, even Lord Zuojiang's people can't tell them apart!

"Old man, I am not Miss Baili Zixia. I think I am the daughter of the Miss Zixia you are talking about."

Fu Yunxi came here to find out the truth, there is no need to hide her identity.

"You—you are a saint!"

When the boatman heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak clearly. He put down his work and stepped forward to salute.

Everyone in Zuojiang knew that a hundred years had passed and that Baili Zixia was carrying the next generation of saint in her belly.

If Zuojiang had not suffered a disaster more than ten years ago, the Saint would have grown up in everyone's support and love!

"Uncle, I came here to find out the truth. I am not sure whether I am her daughter or not."

Fu Yunxi stopped the boatman who was about to bow, for she was afraid that this bow would shorten her life.

"You must be the Saint! You look exactly like Miss Zixia, there is no way I can be wrong!"

The boatman's hands were shaking constantly, which showed how excited he was. The Saint was an extremely sacred existence in Southern Xinjiang, and now in Zuo Xinjiang. Every generation of the Saint would rely on her own strength to help the people of Southern Xinjiang live a prosperous and happy life. They thought they would not see the Saint again, but unexpectedly, she came back on her own. It was really God's blessing on Southern Xinjiang!

"You are not the first person to say that we look alike, so I came to discuss this with Lord Zuo. Can you rent the boat to us? You don't have to worry about safety or money."

Fu Yunxi saw that people around her had noticed this place, so in order to avoid causing too much sensation and impact, she hurriedly talked about business. At this point, it would be too much torture for her to wait another night.

"Saint, there is no need to rent a boat. I will take you there. You don't know the way. Let's set off immediately."

The boatman's attitude changed very quickly. If Fu Yunxi was really a saint, then they would be about to usher in a new life.

"Thank you very much, old man."

Fu Yunxi and her group followed the boatman onto the boat, and people in the distance were able to see her face clearly. Some of them, like the boatman, recognized that she looked very similar to Baili Zixia, and shouted "Saint" loudly.

Some people still didn't understand, but they were very excited to hear that the Saint had returned. Fu Yunxi looked at their shouting figures gradually getting smaller on the shore, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart. It seemed that the Saint was really important to them, perhaps it was faith, perhaps it was guidance, in short, this made her suddenly feel an extra responsibility on her shoulders!

"I can see that they seem to like you very much."

Mu Yibai approached Fu Yunxi. He was worried that she was feeling homesick, so he wanted to talk to her.

"They like the Saint. Perhaps the Saint has indeed brought them a prosperous life."

Fu Yunxi found it difficult to describe her mood at the moment. The people were calling out to the Saint, and the strong emotions infected her.

"Xi'er, you have brought prosperity to the people. Have you forgotten Lianjiang County? In a year, Lianjiang County has undergone tremendous changes. Not only can the people have enough to eat, but their physical condition and living standards have also greatly improved. If you were a saint, I think you would have done what a saint should do."

Mu Yibai's deep and rich voice and a few light words calmed the last bit of hesitation in Fu Yunxi's heart. She had to admit that she was not yet ready to be a saint, because when she really saw these people, she realized the responsibility. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. The same goes for a saint. She must be worthy of the people's respect.

"Ah."

Fu Yunxi felt relieved. She closed her eyes and raised her head, letting the warm wind blow freely on her face. This feeling was like the first cup of milk tea in the cold winter, warming the heart and the whole body. What Yi Bai said was very true. When encountering things, one should look forward and there is no need to dodge. She can help the people of Lianjiang County to improve their lives, so naturally she has the power to help Zuojiang. Everything is destined, so why add to the trouble!

When Mu Yibai saw the smile on Fu Yunxi's lips, he knew that her worries had been resolved and he couldn't help but begin to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

At this moment, the night is hazy, and the scenery on both sides is breathtaking, but none of them can compare to her smile and frown.

"I have to say that the environment here is very suitable for living, and the air is also good. If you can enjoy the evening breeze by the lake and have a few drinks, wouldn't it be pleasant?"

Huo San is in love with the scenery here. He thinks the world is boring and it would be a wonderful thing if he could find a peaceful and quiet place to live.

"It's definitely not possible tonight. We still have important things to deal with. Once we finish our business, we can fulfill your wish."

After this trip to southern Xinjiang, Chen Jianzhong witnessed Huo San's many abilities and gradually stopped resisting him.

It's just that sometimes he would still habitually argue with him. When talking to him, Mu Yitian mentioned that Huo San was an orphan who did everything to fill his stomach when he was young. This made Chen Jianzhong, who grew up in a privileged environment, feel pity for him.

Maybe he is not as unreliable as he seems, maybe this is just his disguise.

"One night is just a way to have fun in a busy life. If we can really live like this, it will be the greatest happiness in the world."

Huo San looked at Chen Jianzhong, who rarely agreed with his words, and couldn't help but find it interesting. What could this kid understand?

"Hey! You still don't know when to advance or retreat. If you want to live this kind of life, you can stay. If Master's Wife is really a saint, she can still protect you!"

After Chen Jianzhong finished speaking, he ignored him. He really couldn't see through Huo San, so he might as well just enjoy the scenery.

The island is brightly lit, and in the center of the sparkling lake, it is truly like a beautiful painting that is fascinating.
