Chapter 2413 Bring a Message 76.0
"No, no, no, to be precise, it was at the beginning when we were standing on our respective boats and talking." Xia Chen paused, thought for a moment, and said, "I must say that the people on this island don't know why, but at the beginning, they were very hostile to us. Their faces were full of caution, as if we were pirates."

"Isn't this natural? That's their territory, their home. A bunch of strangers like you suddenly showed up there. Shouldn't they be alert? They didn't resort to violence against you right away, or drive you out or tie you up. That's already calm enough. What else do you want from them?"

Before the people in the room had time to complain, they heard Xue Ruitian's teasing voice coming from the door. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shen Haolin, Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing walking in side by side.

"Tell me, everyone, am I right?"

"Exactly right."

Shen Cha gave Xue Ruitian a thumbs up, and stood up with Jin Miaomiao to give their seats to them.

Shen Haolin, Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing first greeted the Third Master and Madam Ning, then said hello to Xia Chen before walking to Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao.

Shen Haolin reached out and pressed Shen Cha to sit back in her original position, and he asked the servants of the Marquis' Mansion to move a stool and place it next to Shen Cha.

"That's good."

When Shen Haolin and the other two appeared, Merlin had already arranged for someone to make a new pot of tea and keep it warm on the small stove next to them, and also served them snacks and fruits.

"Brother, why are you here?" Shen Cha sat next to Shen Haolin, looked at him, then looked at Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing, "I remember you were supposed to watch everyone practice today."

"Indeed, it's over. Everyone has gone back to rest. The next one is after lunch, so we won't follow." Xue Ruitian yawned. "We've been busy for a long time. We finally have a chance to relax for a while. Let's take a break, right?"

"From what we've seen these past few days, they've performed pretty well, so let them relax a bit." Shen Haolin took a sip of tea and said, "It's better to come at the right time than to come early. Let's also listen to Lao Qi's legendary experience."

"Brother is right. We should take a break after working so hard these days." Shen Cha nodded and looked at Madam Ning and the Third Master. "I wanted to ask you something just now, but I didn't have time to ask you."

"You ask, what's wrong?"

"Why are Master Xiao, Xiao Chengzi, and Brother Xiao Qi missing? And where's Xiao Ye? Aren't their morning exercises finished yet?"

"From what you said, I know that you didn't hear what Xiaoye said to you yesterday." Jin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows slightly, "Didn't Xiaoye say yesterday that they were going out of the city today?"

"Outside the city? What to do outside the city?" Shen Cha recalled carefully, "She said? I don't remember."

"I know it!" Jin Miaomiao sighed and continued, "The pony that was born a few days ago will be taken out of the city today, separated from its mother, and run a few laps outside. Qi Bo said that if the pony has no fear and no accidents, and can complete this trial smoothly, it can become a capable and responsible horse." Jin Miaomiao covered her mouth and chuckled, "It is said that this is a very critical trial for the pony." She looked at Shen Cha, "Do you remember anything?"

"It seems like that happened. I vaguely remember a little bit. I was watching something at that time, so..." Shen Cha spread his hands helplessly and said, "Now they have all run out of the city?" "Yes!" Jin Miaomiao smiled, "Xiao Chengzi and Xiao Qi have never seen this before, but they insisted on going along to see it. They have a deep relationship with Xiao Ma, and they must be there and participate in such an important occasion."

"They spent a lot of time nagging us yesterday. I discussed with my elder brother and asked Master Xiao and Miss Hongye to accompany them and protect them, so that they wouldn't get excited and have any accidents. With these two watching, they can always remind them."

"That's true." Shen Cha nodded gently, "With Master Xiao and Xiao Ye here, there's no need to worry about safety."

"Yes, it is because of the two of them that we feel at ease."

Xia Chen took advantage of this opportunity to gulp down several sips of tea to moisten his dry throat.

After finishing his drink, he looked at everyone and said, "Are you done talking? No more questions? Can I continue?"

"Okay." Shen Cha made an invitation gesture. "What did you talk about when you were facing each other on your respective ships? The atmosphere was very tense?"

"It can't be said to be tense, but the atmosphere is not that relaxed." Xia Chen smiled and changed to a comfortable sitting position. "Just like Xiaotian said just now, I was staying at home and suddenly someone fell from the sky. It's impossible not to be alert. However, we didn't break in for no reason. It was because of the previous celestial phenomenon and the violent storms on the sea, so the people on the other ship are quite understanding."

"Is it because they encountered the same situation?" Jin Miaomiao yawned and leaned her head on Shen Cha's shoulder. "After all, it's the same sea area. It's impossible for you to be swept away by the waves while they are calm, right?"

"Miaomiao, you hit the nail on the head. In fact, both of us encountered this maritime crisis. Their ship was not originally where we appeared. They were further inland of the island group and were planning to patrol the outside. But unexpectedly, there was such a sudden storm and they were pushed directly outside and collided with us."

"I see. You were pushed into this island group from the outside, and they were pushed out from the inside, and they just happened to run into you."

"That's what I mean." Xia Chen nodded gently, "We talked for a while and found that our experiences seemed to be quite different."

"Not quite the same means"

"Not only did they have strong winds and waves, not only did they have heavy rain mixed with hail, but they also had severe earthquakes."

"An earthquake occurred at sea?" Shen Cha looked at Xia Chen, then at Old Madam Ning, "Is it possible?"

"Yes, and it's not rare, but it's not common either." Madam Ning saw that the children were all frowning, looking as if they didn't understand, and said, "It's not a good thing to encounter an earthquake at sea. It's very likely that you will die at sea."

"Yes!" Xia Chen added, "And it's not the violent winds and waves that cause the earthquake, but the violent winds and waves that are caused by the earthquake."
