Regarding the 4 people Yao Yuan named… Both Zhang Heng and Yao Yuan had long since been ready. After catching up on some precious sleep, they had been waiting for Yao Yuan to call on them. Even Ren Tao predicted he would be called so he wasn’t at all shocked when the order arrived.
The only exception was the 17-year-old girl, Nian Kong. She stood timidly before Yao Yuan. Obviously uncomfortable in this unfamiliar situation, she was as scared as a spooked rabbit.
This threw Yao Yuan for a loop. Due to his military background, he was used to dealing and negotiating with men like Jay and Zhang Heng… but an anxious little girl?
Yao Yuan cleared his throat and spoke in his kindest tone possible, "Xi Kong, hi, my name is Yao Yuan and I’m the captain of this ship. Please don’t be afraid, you’re not here because you did something wrong, you’re here because I need you."
