Chapter 1419: Chapter 797: The So-Called Growth_2

"The crescent moon has already given us a severe punishment; we truly feel terrified, and if this continues—"

"We might just peel a layer off our skin. Thankfully, you came out in the nick of time, but why didn’t you choose to save us when you did?"

These words were directed at Qin Yuan, and of course, Qin Yuan understood.

Yet he still remained silent, not even blinking an eye.

It was hard to guess his emotions; his eyes were truly calm and undisturbed.

After a good while, Ling Yu couldn’t hold it in anymore.

"I’m not saying you’re indecisive; it’s just that your decisions aren’t swift enough. If only you’d been more decisive—"

"You could’ve dealt with the situation long ago. Or why not just kick the crescent moon aside and go save the girl?"

"You’ve said it yourself before, the difference in your strengths is substantial; there’s nothing you can’t do if you put your mind to it."

At this point, Ling Yu wasn’t afraid anymore and spoke very straightforwardly.

What if the crescent moon gets angry? So what?

There’s no need to worry about so much—just say what needs to be said.

As long as Yuanqing isn’t angry, that’s what matters.

After all, the most important thing here is Yuanqing.

If Yuanqing isn’t upset, what good is the crescent moon’s anger?

With this thought, Ling Yu slightly curved the corners of his mouth, looking forward to what was about to happen before him.

Then he looked triumphantly at the crescent moon and even subtly raised an eyebrow, showing off.

Although he had not yet heard Yuanqing speak, he had already anticipated the outcome.

Yuanqing, after all, was a clever person and should know which choice would lead to the best result.

So he couldn’t possibly be that stubborn.

At this moment, the black bear couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up, though that was all he did.

He didn’t say anything.

Although he was in a state of silence, his whole being stood with Ling Yu.

Who knows how much time passed, but the crescent moon continued to convulse, seeming pitiful still.

Yet, despite this, the crescent moon’s brow never smoothed out, the whole person appearing extremely gloomy.

Who wouldn’t want to be happy? But how could one find happiness in this situation?

Especially now that the matter had dragged his daughter into it, there’s no way to be happy regardless.

The most important thing is Yuanqing is still supporting the other side. If he weren’t supporting them—

That’d be a different story. But to help them now, what does it mean? Isn’t it just continual opposition against oneself?

There really was no need to take things this far; it’s essential to show some mercy.

But he has already said so much already, and Yuanqing simply didn’t listen.

It’s as if he’s deaf, but being deaf is fine—just don’t be so absolute about it.

Yet his deafness is matched by such definitive actions, which truly brings distress.

The crescent moon was already very displeased with Qin Yuan inside, but he was unable to change anything.

As time ticked on, Qin Yuan’s gaze gradually grew colder, and he slightly raised his eyebrows.

"Ling Yu, seems like you’re pretty good at making things happen, now giving me orders. Although you’re framing it as giving me reasons—"

"In my eyes, it’s the same as ordering me. Do you really think that after what you’ve said, I’ll just do as you tell me?"

"If that’s what you truly think, then I don’t know whether to say you’re brave or just thick-skinned. What do you think I should call you?"

Qin Yuan was now speaking with Ling Yu, his gaze growing colder by the moment.

His presence was still intimidating.

These words caused everyone around to feel afraid.

Their bodies trembled involuntarily; whispers spread among them.

Seeing this scene, Qin Yuan didn’t say anything. The reaction was exactly what he wanted.

And he saw that Ling Yu was somewhat afraid, even trembling.

Seeing this was enough; it was within his expectations.

Now to see how Ling Yu would react.

After a while, Ling Yu narrowed his eyes in an instant, then suppressed the fear within his heart.

No matter how scared he was, he had to appear calm; after all, nothing is terrifying as long as one stays calm.

But Ling Yu hadn’t spoken yet.

Yuanqing did not expect Qin Yuan to have such an attitude, originally thinking he would lash out at Yueya directly.

Now he’s fired up at Ling Yu, did he say something wrong in the rain? Or is he on Yueya’s side?

It’s unclear what he wants to do at the moment, just confusion remains.

But Yuanqing could only slowly think about it in his heart without truly voicing his thoughts.

He probably would not get any response even if he did ask.

So, it’s better not to ask. Asking again would be futile.

That much Yuanqing understood.

The bystanders were already whispering non-stop.

"How come it feels like things are getting more serious?"

"Did any of you see where the crew went?"

"Who knows? They might be watching the drama in secret."

"I just saw them standing over there, how come they’re gone all of a sudden?"

"Don’t know, let’s just watch the drama. Let’s not worry about so much."

Indeed, two of the crew members were standing not far away just a moment ago, but now they were gone.

The bystanders looked around once again.

Still, they couldn’t find them and decided not to think about it anymore, casting the thought out of their minds.

Qin Yuan still looked at Ling Yu with such coldness.

In fact, their heights didn’t differ much, but Qin Yuan was still a bit taller.

So, there was still a sense of intimidation that came from a sovereign.

Ling Yu took a deep breath and then spoke calmly.

"Actually, I’m not here to order you around, after all, I don’t think I have the power to command you. I’m just trying to be nice."

"Just offering a piece of advice. If you think my advice doesn’t work, then I won’t say anything, after all, it’s still up to what you think."

"After all, you’re the person involved in this matter, and even though I’m your junior, I can’t interfere with the boss’s decision."

Towards the end, Ling Yu’s tone seemed a bit distant, yet there was still a hint of ingratiating intent in his voice.

Qin Yuan immediately saw through it, a light smile clearly appeared on his face.

The hostility from before had lessened significantly.

He seemed less intimidating and much more approachable.

The next moment, the bald man slightly squinted his eyes.

Ling Yu really was different, he wasn’t like this in front of the Third Brother.

He has always been full of sweet talk, but unexpectedly, he was showing this side in front of this kid.

Truly shocking, this must be what they call behaving differently in front of different people.

After a while, the bald man chose not to expose Ling Yu.

If he were to confront him now, wouldn’t it just lead to an argument?

It would affect their relationship, and the Third Brother would surely be very angry.

They had just decided to acknowledge Yuanqing as the boss, after all.

No going back on that. They’d promised unity before.

They had to walk the talk and not renege on their word.

The bald man thought about this, so he didn’t speak up at this moment.

He knew what was serious and what wasn’t.

Initially, it was mere impulsiveness that angered Yueya; now, he understood the stakes and restraint—perhaps it was a form of growth.

Plus, he had been through a lot just now and almost got pushed into the sea to feed the sharks.

Thinking of this, the bald man glanced again at the abyss-like sea, and his whole body trembled slightly.
