Chapter 4: Sword Qi

The merchant ship sailed smoothly with the wind, the waves slapped against the bow, raising heaps of white foam, making a splashing sound.

At the rear of the fleet, the azure sea was dragged into nine long, rolling silver ribbons.

"Young Master Lu, here is your lunch for today," the old man called out.
