Yanyou took great effort to sit up from the bed, leaning on the pillow behind him, and looked seriously at the man standing in front of the cell.

Just now he felt that this person looked very familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen him. It was not until he heard what this person said that he suddenly realized that the memories that had been sealed for many years were finally opened at this moment. The incident that happened in his childhood unfolded before his eyes bit by bit, and the appearance of the young man back then slowly overlapped with the person in front of him.

"So it's you, but how could it be...you?" His face was filled with shock and disbelief. He stared at Xia Chen for a long time with his eyes wide open before he stammered, "You...you haven't..."

"It's me. How come you almost forgot about me? After all, we were briefly allies back then, right?" Xia Chen chuckled, looked at Yan You with wide eyes, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Why are you so surprised? Do you think I'm going to die?"

"No, I just didn't expect it, I."

"Looking at you, are you sure that I will die if I leave your place, or do you think that our lives should be lost on the island?"

"I" Yanyou shook his head gently, "I can't say for sure but he did say that he would not let you live."

"He did?"

Xia Chen thought about it, pulled out the painting he had drawn from his wide sleeves, waved to Merlin, and the two of them unfolded the portrait together.

"This is."

"Is the he you are talking about this person?"

Seeing the painting in Xia Chen's hand, Yan You was shocked again and asked, "How do you know? How do you have his portrait?"

"It seems that our previous guess should be correct." Xia Chen turned around and nodded to Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian. He handed the painting in his hand to Merlin to put away. He leaned against the bars of the cell and smiled at Yan You, who had grown up. "When did he tell you? Was it before or after you and your men sneaked onto my ship?"

Yanyou looked at Xia Chen, then looked at the people who were still sitting on the chairs with indifferent expressions, and sighed softly.

"after."

"After that?" Xia Chen looked at him, "I didn't expect that you hold such a high position in his heart. He wants to kill me. Is he trying to vent his anger for you?"

"No, to him, there is only a difference between us being useful and useless, nothing else." Yanyou sighed again, "He wants to kill you because you ruined his plan and made him lose face, so he wants to kill you to silence you."

"Plan? What plan? A plan to hijack the ship?" "Yeah!" Yanyou nodded, looked at the tea on the table, took a sip, and continued, "He knew that some people and ships broke into the island because of that accident, so he gave an order that the ship and the things on the ship could be left behind, but the people on the ship had to..." He wiped his neck, "But he didn't know what was going on on the ship, so he let us sneak on board. Unexpectedly, an ambush was set on the ship and we were caught. Not only that, the young master also sent us to Tao Zhangling to expose everything. Tao Zhangling can only make a big deal out of a small matter, and he also knows that you are in a dangerous place and will not pursue this, so he can only turn a blind eye. I returned to my adoptive father and told him all this. He said that he would definitely leave your bodies behind and told me not to worry. It's just that..." He looked at Xia Chen, "I don't know why you are still alive."

"Little brother, just like I said back then, there are still many things you don't know, and many things beyond your imagination. Similarly, I also told you that those who seem to be good to you may not really be good to you, and those who seem to be strict with you and don't want to do anything to you may not really want to harm you. Unfortunately, now it seems that you haven't remembered a single word of what I said back then!"

Yanyou looked at Xia Chen who was leaning against the fence, looked at his face which he hadn't seen for a long time but was still young, and sighed softly.

"Why are you sighing? Was I wrong?"

"What you said is all right, sir. Those are wise sayings, but they are not suitable for us." Yanyou looked at Xia Chen, smiled bitterly, and said, "We were raised by our adoptive father. We don't have the right to choose. We can only rely on him, listen to him, take his words as the guiding principle, and implement them meticulously. We don't know who is sincere and who is fake, and it is not very important to us."

"How can it be unimportant?" Xia Chen frowned slightly, "You are human!"

"Death warriors don't need emotions or sincerity, they just need to follow orders." Jin Miaomiao sighed softly, "Although he is an adopted son, he is no different from a death warrior, just with a different name."

"Is such that?"

"Master Jin is right." Yanyou nodded and smiled at Jin Miaomiao, "He gave us our lives and raised us. He taught us all the skills we have, so it is natural for us to work for him." He looked at Xia Chen, "Master, you haven't told me yet, how did you escape?"

"He didn't kill me. On the contrary, we met several times and had quite a good chat." Xia Chen smiled, "He personally ordered us to be sent out."

"So that's how it is." Yanyou sighed, "However, it is a blessing to be able to meet you, sir." He glanced at Xia Chen, then at the people in the row behind him, and said, "I am very grateful that you came to see me, sir."

"I heard that my brothers and sisters wanted you to help, but you never agreed, so I thought of coming over to see what my old friend has become. If possible, I also wanted to give you some advice. After all, one more way out means one more way out. But now it seems that I can no longer do anything." Xia Chen looked at Yan You, "After all, you have already agreed, so I don't need to say anything. I could have not come out to recognize you, but since we are here, it's better for us to meet each other, right?"

"Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is the happiest thing in life." Yanyou looked at him, sighed softly, and said, "I did listen to what you said back then, but I can't do anything about it. I have my own difficulties and my own hardships."

"Yes, I know." Xia Chen nodded, "Maybe I didn't understand it very well before, but now I understand it a little bit." He smiled, "But, when you go back, maybe you will have the right to choose."

"Thank you for your good words, I hope so!"
