By the time he was done slaving for his father, he left the captain's cabin with scrunched up brows. Just as he placed his hand on the door to his own cabin he heard a soft voice calling out to him.
From the voice alone he could tell who it was. He turned around with a blank expression and asked, "Xiaoyu, what are you doing up?"
This girl was the one he had swapped places with two years ago. She had grown up into a fine young lady with a face a smooth as jade. As to why she was still aboard Red Bane it was because her entire family was slaughtered when the traffickers raided her small fishing village.
Ji Wen had proposed for her to stay with his female acquaintance Lady Ching Sei, the overlord of the south sea. Her entire crew was comprised of women which would be better suited for Xiaoyu but she refused saying she needed to repay her debt with her life.
