The dock supervisor wasn't surprised by this line of thought. His absence that day had directly led to the National Master and the others renting a boat and setting out to sea. By the time he returned and learned of this, it was all too late. His only recourse was to report to Wu Li immediately. Wu Li instructed him to write to Mr. Wu at once, which he did. Yet, barely an hour later, a golden leaf from the royal court of Nanjiang appeared before him. This led the supervisor to assume that the person before him had been sent by Mr. Wu.
Princess Ata anxiously watched the dock supervisor.
"Hurry up! If we're any later, I won't be able to catch up with my friends."
Unexpectedly, Princess Ata wound up with the fastest small boat after the supervisor's careful selection.
