Chapter 1397: 651 Encounter_1 Chapter 1397: 651 Encounter_1 An overnight downpour washed away all impurities, refreshing the entire island.
Aubree Groove stood on the dock, watching the ships depart.
The wind blew her gown, she stood in the sea breeze, her silhouette ethereal yet lonely.
Leandro Alvarez left with forty-eight crew mbers, including the twenty guards he brought along.
Aubree asked him to take them all back.
The purpose of this trip has been fulfilled, and there’s no longer any need for those people to stay.
The Chinese dicines, food, and water they brought over, other than what they consud on their journey, all were left behind.
...
“You can still make it back now if you leave,” Nicholas Drake ca over, standing beside her, shoulder to shoulder.
Two seagulls hovered where the sea t the sky, a beautifully picturesque painting.
“The people here need more.” Aubree stood for a while, then turned to leave.
“Big sister, big sister,” a little girl excitedly ran over, then abruptly stopped in her tracks when she got close.
She bashfully hid her hands behind her back, afraid that they would soil Aubree’s skirt.
Aubree smiled, took the girl’s hidden hand.
Seemingly unbothered by the dirt on her hands, she took her to the edge of a pond and cleaned her hands with running water.
“Your hands have many germs.
If they accidentally enter your mouth, they will start battling the cells in your body.
If the cells in your body lose, then you’ll fall ill.
So you must wash your hands frequently, alright?”
The young lady’s gentle voice had the power to purify hearts.
The little girl stared at the face that was only inches away from hers, in the sunlight, that face looked like it was glowing.
“Big Sister, you’re very good.” She was now able to speak simple Chinese.
Big Sister praised her for being smart, saying she learned quickly.
The young lady just smiled, “We must continue learning today, no slacking off.
Confucius said: Study without thought is a waste, thought without study is dangerous.”
“Who is Confucius?”
“He is the great sagely figure from our country.”
“What’s a sagely figure?”
“One who understands the past and foresees the future, embodying moral and intellectual perfection, can be considered a sage.”
“So, Big Sister is also a sagely figure.”
Aubree shook her head with a smile: “You must not say such things again, it’s disrespectful to the sage and the worthy n of the past.”
Sumr Anderson stuck out her tongue.
“Co here, let Big Sister comb your hair for you.”
Sumr obediently sat down.
Her hair was incredibly thick and naturally curly.
It had probably never been cared for since her birth, which had resulted in countless tangles.
Anyone with a hot temperant would have simply cut it all off.
But Aubree, being extraordinarily patient, painstakingly untangled all knots, one at a ti.
When she was worried that Sumr might get bored, Aubree would tell her popular legends from Jinez.
Ti silently lapsed, the sunlight imparted a lazy warmth, and through the sea breeze, Aubree finally managed to untangle all of Sumr’s hair.
Then she cleaned it with fresh water.
After feeling her clean hair, Sumr suddenly felt much lighter, as if she had been reborn.
“How much longer are you going to watch?” Aubree suddenly spoke up.
In a corner, Delan Sparrow touched his nose and walked out, looking sowhat awkward.
“I feared that I would interrupt Ms.
Rinto’s mood, I hope Ms.
Rinto wouldn’t mind.”
This woman was a true mystery, like a calm sea surface, unfazed by any ripple.
“Sit,” Aubree pointed to the stone bench across her.
“Although you’ve committed many wrongs in the past, as the ancients say, acknowledging one’s mistake and nding it is the greatest virtue.

As long as you truly repent from now on, we can still be friends.”
“Friends?” Delan Sparrow seed sowhat flabbergasted, “Can soone like be friends with you?”
“Why not?”
“Of course not.” Delan Sparrow gave a bitter smile, “I thought ….”
He looked at Aubree and smiled, “Thank you.
From now on, I will no longer be a pirate.
You’re right, living a life where today I kill soone and tomorrow soone else kills , I’ve grown tired of it too.
Isn’t an ordinary life fragrant as well?”
Aubree nodded, “It’s best if you think that way.”
“What should we do next?
If the people on the other side discover us, none of us can escape.”
“Tell about Sahaism.”
Delan Sparrow was taken aback, he looked sharply at Aubree.
