"Is that all you said?" Shen Cha exchanged glances with Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian, and then looked at the portrait held by Merlin. "It doesn't seem like Master Falian's style to let you go just because of these words!"

"That's right. It's completely different from the Master Falian we know. It's very different." Xue Ruitian nodded. He looked at Madam Ning, then at the Third Master. "It should be different from what you two know, right?"

"It's a bit unreasonable. Although we have met him once, we have heard a lot of rumors about him. The real leader of the Qinglian Sect is a powerful figure. He can make clouds and rain with a flip of his hand. His methods are extremely cruel." Madam Ning raised her chin towards the Third Master, "Isn't it?"

"Yeah!" The Third Master nodded, "People in Jiangnan say that there is nothing he can't get if he wants it. My senior brother also said that to achieve his goal, he will do whatever it takes. This is his style. Most importantly, he doesn't care about anyone or anything except himself." He looked at Xia Chen, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "The saying pluck feathers from a passing goose or a thief never leaves empty-handed is more appropriate. Since he wants to do something to you, he will definitely not let you go, unless you are in tune with his temper and suit his taste, but few people in the world will have this luck."

"Master uncle is right." Jin Miaomiao yawned and sat back in her seat. "So, it must be that when Seventh Brother was chatting, he accidentally revealed something that resonated with Master Falian, so he let you go and let you go back safely." She took a sip of tea and leaned lazily on the chair. "Seventh Brother, why don't you think about what you said."

"What did you say?" Xia Chen was tired of sitting, so he stood up and walked slowly around the house like Jin Miaomiao did. "To be honest, it was just a very ordinary, simple greeting. I saw him in the yard next to mine. He just came out of that yard. He seemed to be afraid of being seen. He sneaked out wearing a black cloak. When he saw me, he showed a little surprise. Before I could react, he dragged me into that yard."

"That yard?" Shen Cha looked at Xia Chen, "Is it the yard he just walked out of?"

"Yeah!" Xia Chen nodded. "There's a big pond in the middle of the yard. There are several koi fish in the pond, the red ones. They're plump and look very festive."

"It looks particularly festive?" Xue Ruitian couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile and said, "You look particularly craving for it, right?"

"If we hadn't already had dinner, we would have wanted to grill it and eat it. It's fat and should taste good." Xia Chen waved his hand, "That's not the point, don't interrupt. Speaking of that courtyard, the scenery is quite exquisite, with a small bridge, flowing water, and a pavilion. He pulled me to sit in the small pavilion by the pond, saying that it was rare to see an outsider and we should have a good chat."

"Is it rare to see outsiders?" Seeing Xia Chen nod, Jin Miaomiao said thoughtfully, "It is true that few outsiders enter their place. If you want to know what is happening outside, you have to rely on merchant ships going to various places to find out. But in that case, the news has already..." She thought for a while, looked at Shen Haolin, and then looked at Shen Cha, "It shouldn't be like what I said, right?"

"It's not very likely to rely solely on the merchant ships that leave their island. He has many channels to collect information, but he's not so well-informed. After all, it's too far from the inland. Even if it's at an expedited speed of 800 miles, it will be too late for him to react when he receives the news. Of course, he also has his own layout. As for how to pass on the news, there are naturally other ways." Shen Cha sighed softly, looked at Xia Chen, and said, "He finally met an outsider on the island, so he will naturally pull Seventh Brother to have a good chat. And Seventh Brother obviously doesn't reject him, nor is he afraid of him, so you should get along well."

"Indeed." Xia Chen nodded, "He said the people on the island were too boring, and they were all like wood, not fun at all. He knew it was my first time traveling far away, and asked me if I was scared, especially after encountering such a big storm, and if I would be scared after saving my life and never dare to go out again." "Seventh brother will definitely say that he will not be scared and will continue his travel according to his original plan, right?"

"Right!" Xia Chen snapped his fingers. "Xiao Cha really understands me. That's what I said." He chuckled. "Maybe it was because of what I said and my relatively firm attitude that he changed from being quite reserved at the beginning to being very talkative. We chatted for almost two hours and didn't leave the yard until it was almost dark."

"Then the key point should be this." Shen Cha thought for a while, "Seventh Brother's attitude is similar to Master Falian. He knows that the road ahead is very difficult and there is a great possibility that his life will be in danger, but he will not give up or turn back easily. This is what he likes very much. Although he was born into a noble family, this family did not bring him any benefits. It can be said that it is because of his family that his life has become so bumpy and so displaced. Therefore, he admires people who have the same experience as him, even if they are only a little bit similar."

"Xiaocha's explanation does make sense." The Third Master nodded, "But you are lucky to have survived his attack."

"Besides him, what other strange people and strange things did Brother Qi encounter on the island?"

"No." Xia Chen shook his head gently. "This person is already strange enough. We left the island group around noon the next day. I don't know if I was dazzled, but I actually saw this person standing on a small boat, far away from us, waving at us."

"He actually came to see you off. It seems that he really likes you."

"Forget it. I can't bear this kind of love." Xia Chen waved his hand, took a sip of tea, yawned, looked back at the sea chart, thought for a long time, and said, "Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of something else."

"what's up?"

"Besides Xiao Taozi, there were a few strangers who escorted us out. They were faces I had never seen in the past day and night. Not only that, although they wore the same clothes and had the same hairstyle as Xiao Taozi, I could still easily tell that they were different from Xiao Taozi. They were neither the remnants of the previous dynasty nor the common people of Great Xia. Instead, they were..."

"Japanese!"
