217 Chapter 217

It turned out that the pirates had only lasted so long due to the Chang Family's support and were not as powerful as people had feared; with the Yan Family's precious map in hand, Feng Zhiwei's new navy easily destroyed the pirate scourge.

By Mid-December, Feng Zhiwei had triumphantly returned to Shang Ye to wait for Ning Yi's return and their trip back to Dijing.

Hua Qiong had long since arrived in anticipation of Feng Zhiwei's arrival, sharing a knowing smile at the docks as her ship anchored, 

One smile was wide and somewhat sad as the young woman thought of the home she was leaving behind, perhaps forever. That little boy she had met so many years ago by the nunnery gates would never again cry into her arms.

The other smile was deep and longing; over the past few months, Ning Yi's eyes must have largely recovered. They had been gone from Dijing for too long and they could finally return, together.
