A simple solitary boat drifted on the sea outside the Hidden Spirit Island.
"Don't worry about it, let it drift with the wind, wherever it goes, it goes." Xu Fan laid on the solitary boat, speaking to Zhang Weiyun who was grilling meat for him.
"Do you prefer it this way, my lord?" Zhang Weiyun asked with a smile.
"Sometimes I feel like I can control everything, but sometimes you realize that everything you control may have been arranged in advance."
"Even the rules within the rules are rules, and the Dao within the Great Dao is still the Dao." Gazing at the undulating sea surface, Xu Fan indulged in his reflections.
"My lord's insights feel like the insights of someone standing at the peak of a small world, ready to ascend." Zhang Weiyun teased him while grilling.
"Haha, that's a very fitting description."
Xu Fan, with his eyes half-closed, observed the Bear Number 2 cloud in the sky, while sensing the route the small boat was taking, being driven by the wind and the waves.
