Divine Doctor's Harem

Seeing Shen Bing's curious and puzzled expression, Wang Chao sighed and said, "Actually, my relationship with Zhou Xinghe is very simple, not as complicated as you imagine."

Zhou Xinghe stepped forward and continued, "Three years ago, Wang Chao saved my life. He is my benefactor!"

"So, I will do everything he says."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

It's a matter of emotions!

No wonder Zhou Xinghe willingly played a supporting role and handed over Pei Buji to Wang Chao when Wang Chao took action earlier.

However, Scarlett and Silver Fox clearly didn't believe Zhou Xinghe's words.

They furrowed their brows and exchanged glances between Wang Chao and Zhou Xinghe.

Based on their intuition as women, they felt that the relationship between Zhou Xinghe and Wang Chao was not as simple as it seemed.

"This guy is becoming more and more of a liar," Silver Fox thought.

"Full of lies," Scarlett silently criticized.

Both of them had worked closely with Wang Chao for a while and knew his character very well.

They simply didn't believe Zhou Xinghe's words!

However, since they had a close relationship with Wang Chao, they didn't expose his lie.

"A benefactor?" Shura stood among the crowd with a solemn expression, clearly not believing Zhou Xinghe's words either.

Being able to save Zhou Xinghe indicated that Wang Chao's strength was even stronger.

But ordering Zhou Xinghe around meant everything!

After all, Zhou Xinghe was the vanguard of the Dark Night Mercenary Group and couldn't be commanded by just anyone!

Joseph, Gates, Liu Xiangqing, and other wealthy individuals looked at Wang Chao with different eyes.

Zhou Xinghe didn't explain much and instead said, "Everyone, we have received supplies from the Dark Night Mercenary Group. Now we have a compass, navigation equipment, and fuel. Let's set sail back to Fuzhou City."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression brightened.

Yes!

After going through so much, they could finally return to Fuzhou City and no longer drift in the vast sea.

Under Zhou Xinghe's arrangement, everyone stopped questioning Wang Chao and Zhou Xinghe's relationship and returned to their seats.

Shura took on the role of captain, maneuvering the ship and changing direction to head towards Fuzhou City.

Before they had sailed for long, the sun had already set.

The glow of the setting sun spilled over the sea, creating sparkling golden waves.

Colorful clouds adorned the horizon, turning it red.

Above the vast sky, a flock of seagulls flew by, emitting clear cries.

On the expansive sea, they could still see flying fish leaping out of the water.

The scene was as beautiful as a painting.

"It's so beautiful," Shen Bing stood on the highest deck, marveling at the scene before her.

Wang Chao also admired the picturesque view, nodding and saying, "As the evening glow and solitary ducks fly together, the autumn water merges with the boundless sky. I've only read about it in textbooks before, but I never imagined seeing it in reality."

"Although those are seagulls, not wild ducks, it's enough to make one linger and forget to leave."

"So, this is the breathtaking scenery Wang Bo saw back then. Truly awe-inspiring."

When he used to study, he couldn't comprehend the greatness of Wang Bo's "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion" and only found it difficult to memorize.

Now that he had grown up and gained life experiences, witnessing the vast scene of the sea, he finally understood Wang Bo's greatness.

The line "As the evening glow and solitary ducks fly together, the autumn water merges with the boundless sky" particularly shocked and amazed him.

"Yes, let's continue reading the 'Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion.' It truly purifies the soul," Shen Bing agreed, nodding her head. Suddenly, she asked, "How does the 'Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion' go again?"

As she spoke, she looked at Wang Chao with a puzzled expression.

"I went abroad before finishing high school. Do you think I would still remember?" Wang Chao replied.

"Let me give you a starting point then. 'The ancient county of Yuzhang, the new capital of Hongdu, stars forming wings cross the sky, and the land connects with Heng and Lu. Embracing the Three Rivers and encircling the Five Lakes, it controls the Barbarians of Jing and attracts the Ouyue. A place rich in natural treasures, where the dragon's light pierces the ox. What was that ox called?'" Shen Bing said.

Wang Chao had initially forgotten, but upon hearing her words, memories suddenly flooded back into his mind. He continued, "'The dragon's light pierces the ox in the arena. Talented people and blessed lands, Xu Ru descends to Chen Fan's couch. The majestic state emerges through the mist, and brilliance races through the stars...'"

The two of them took turns reciting, and soon they had recited the entire "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion."

Wang Chao looked at Shen Bing, his eyes filled with astonishment.

He hadn't expected Shen Bing to be able to recite the entire "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion."

It seemed that her claim of having a photographic memory was not empty talk.

Shen Bing continued to recite, "Wang Bo, a person with a short life of three feet, a humble scholar, without a path to volunteer, waited until he became an adult to join the military. With a heart filled with regrets, he followed the path of literary excellence, longing for the elegance of Zong Que."

"Forsaking the official hat and court dress at the age of one hundred, he served morning and evening from thousands of miles away. Not a precious tree of the Xie family, but a neighboring fragrance of the Meng family. In the future, I'll go to his court, accompanying the parents."

"Accompanying the parents, how wonderful."

"Unfortunately, in the end, he drowned and couldn't accompany his father for long."

"I'm in a similar situation. I'm alone now, unable to find my father or save my brother..."

"When will the day come when my brother and I can accompany our father and be together? 'Accompanying the carp.'"

With these thoughts, she became overwhelmed with sadness, her eyes turning red.

Wang Chao stood beside her and said calmly, "If you desire to cry, go ahead."

He considered himself fortunate. After eight years of fighting, he returned home to find his parents alive and his loved ones intact.

Shen Bing had no parents, and her brother was in a coma.

For all these years, she had no outlet for her inner struggles and the pressures she endured. She didn't know how to release them.

Shen Bing wiped away her tears and smiled, saying, "Never mind, crying won't solve anything. I was just expressing my emotions."

"Let it go, let's go back and rest."

After saying that, she went back to the cabin and rested.

That night passed quickly.

The next morning, the Swan Cruise encountered another cruise ship.

Old Master Zhao led the troops to provide support.

However, when he and Zhao Shenbing and the others made contact and learned of Zhou Xinghe's identity, they're astonished. Their eyes were even more amazed when they looked at Zhou Xinghe and Wang Chao.

"Old Master Zhao, my identity must be kept secret. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable," Zhou Xinghe said.

"Understood, we'll keep it confidential!" Old Master Zhao quickly replied.

"Alright, let's go back then. It's a pity those two attractive Swan Cruises were taken by the Blood Demon Mercenary Corps!" Zhou Xinghe sighed.

Old Master Zhao and Zhao Shenbing felt a sense of sorrow.

Those were luxury cruise ships worth billions. Losing them was indeed a pity.

"No problem, as long as everyone is safe," Old Master Zhao smiled.

In the eyes of these wealthy individuals, as long as people were alive, they could create more wealth.

After eight hours, the Swan Cruise docked.

Back on land, Shen Bing booked a plane ticket, preparing to leave Fuzhou City as soon as possible.

"Do not book for today, I'm going to meet someone tonight," Wang Chao said.

"You have a friend in Fuzhou City?" Shen Bing was taken aback.

"An old friend. We made plans before boarding, to have a drink tonight."

"Is't a man or a woman?"

"A woman!"

Shen Bing's expression changed at his words.

Was Wang Chao going to meet an old lover?

With that thought, she felt incredibly uncomfortable in her heart and glared at Wang Chao, saying, "Fine, go if you want. We'll go back tomorrow."

After speaking, she stepped into the hotel, leaving Wang Chao behind.

Wang Chao was puzzled, unable to understand: "What's wrong again? Why are women so fickle with their emotions? Could it be jealousy?"
