<h4>Chapter 1815: Chapter 1808: The Misunderstanding Begins</h4>


    Listening to Sun Yaoyang’s words and observing Sun Yaoyang’s face filled with murderous intent, a trace of unease shed across Zhang Yue’s face: "But, there are quite a few social celebrities on that ship..."


    "So what."


    Sun Yaoyang said with a ferocious expression: "My Sun Family is already finished, and killing all of them doesn’t matter. Besides, with so many people to be buried with Lu Tianxing, he can walk the path to theherworld in peace."


    At this moment, Sun Yaoyang’s heart waspletely enveloped by murderous intent, no resentment, only endless killing intent. In order to kill Lu Tianxing, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill everyone on the Tianbao ship.


    As his words fell, Sun Yaoyang seemed to recall something and looked at Zhang Yue with a deep voice: "Yue’er, I estimate this time the odds are against me. After I leave, you must instantly follow what I told you today, leave Qin Ind, and never return for the rest of your life. Do you understand?"


    Zhang Yue’s expression changed abruptly upon hearing these words; Sun Yaoyang’s words clearly indicated that this departure meant he wouldn’t return.


    "Yaoyang, I..."


    Without waiting for Zhang Yue to finish speaking, Sun Yaoyang interrupted her coldly: "If you still consider yourself my woman, you will listen to me and leave Qin Ind forever and nevere back."


    Listening to Sun Yaoyang’s words and seeing Sun Yaoyang’s cold face, Zhang Yue’s body trembled slightly, but eventually, she did not refuse. Instead, she said, "I, Zhang Yue, will always be your woman. I will wait for your return."


    After hearing Zhang Yue’s words, Sun Yaoyang’s body quivered slightly, but he said nothing and turned his head to look at the dozens of people standing behind him. His eyes shed with a crimson light; this was the Sun Family’sst strength, the force to send Lu Tianxing on his way tonight.


    "Lu Tianxing, Lu Tianxing, just you wait, I will tear you to pieces, and I will make sure you die without a ce to be buried."


    Sun Yaoyang emitted a beast-like roar. As Chen Changwu had told him, he had the choice to either watch Lu Tianxinge over to the Sun Family and annihte them, or take a gamble, risk his life, and perish together with Lu Tianxing. Perhaps in doing so, the Sun Family could preserve a bit of their bloodline. Sun Yaoyang chose thetter, to gamble it all. Tonight, it’s either you die, or I do.


    ...


    It waste at night, a bright crescent moon hung in the sky. Silvery white light spilled down from the heavens as if draping the world in ayer of silver gauze.


    When the clock pointed to eight, apanied by the incessant sound of the ship’s whistle cutting through the air, the cruise began slowly moving forward, carrying the guests of the ball toward the sea.


    The guests who had been standing on the deck all returned to the cruise hall.


    At this moment, the entire hall was brilliantly illuminated; the melodious sound of the piano rang out in the hall, crisp and gentle, causing people’s moods to rx with the music.


    The surrounding guests gathered in twos and threes, whispering andughing softly.


    Although the cruise had already left the port, the ball had not yet started, Qiu Tianrui was stillughing and chatting with Lu Tianxing and others.


    However, at this moment, Lu Tianxing’s heart was filled with confusion. Sima Lingyun had clearly boarded the ship and mentioned he woulde after a stroll, yet now all the guests from the deck had returned, and he had just looked around but couldn’t find a trace of Sima Lingyun. Where had Sima Lingyun gone?


    Although a bit puzzled, Lu Tianxing’s expression did not change much. With Sima Lingyun’s current power, unless someone at the Late Stage of Mythical made a move, no one could harm him.


    Perhaps having found like-minded friends atst, Bai Zhiqing, Lin Qianru, and Qiu Yingrong chatted joyfully, asionally letting outughter; their smiles radiated like flowers, continuously attracting the surrounding attention.


    Meanwhile, Lu Tianxing was casually chatting with Qiu Tianrui and Jiang Tianbao.


    None of the three noticed Wei Xu in a corner of the hall, watching them with a gloomy face, eyes full of undisguisable hatred and greed.


    About half an hourter, the ship seemed to arrive at its intended position and finally came to a halt.


    Apanied by a long whistle sound, Jiang Tianbao stood up from his seat, apologetically saying to Lu Tianxing and others: "Sorry, the ball is about to start, and I need to make some preparations. Let’s ensure we won’t return tonight unless we’re thoroughly drunk."


    Lu Tianxing didn’t say much, simply waved his hand, motioning for Jiang Tianbao to go busy himself.


    The preparations Jiang Tianbao mentioned were actually nothing more than going up to the podium to announce the start of the ball, as he was the organizer of this event, the host of the evening.


    As Jiang Tianbao walked to the podium, everyone in the hall seemed to receive a signal, ceasing their conversations. The guests sitting on the sofas all rose simultaneously, casting their gazes on Jiang Tianbao.


    The piano melody flowing through the hall abruptly stopped at this moment.


    "First of all, wee everyone. Thank you for honoring me, Jiang Tianbao, by taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the ball I’m hosting."


    Even though everyone knew this was just rhetoric, no one showed impatience or murmured among themselves. After all, opening remarks are customary at banquets, and having attended many such events, they were used to it.


    Moreover, Jiang Tianbao’s status was exceptional. When someone of his stature speaks publicly, talking below would be disrespectful, as if pping his face, which among those with power is akin to directly stripping bare face rtions.


    "All of you are friends of mine, Jiang Tianbao. Tonight I’ve arranged this ball with no particr intention other than to gather everyone and express my gratitude for your support and favor..."


    Next moment, everyone began apuding.


    "I believe everyone has heard enough of the pleasantries, so I won’t say much more. I announce that the ball begins now, and I hope everyone has a wonderful time. If someone doesn’t enjoy the ball, I’ve prepared various entertainment facilities on the upper floors for everyone to enjoy."


    With Jiang Tianbao’s voice falling, everyone began slowly retreating to the sides. Some young handsome men started scanning around, frantically looking for their dance partners for the evening, asionally seeding and joining hands to enter the dance floor, swaying gently to the music.
