Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning - Chapter 1020 407: The Visit (Part 3)

“Empty words, hard to trust.”

Zhou Wenjing glanced at Duan Wenwu and gently shook her head.

From a normal perspective, what Duan Wenwu said wasn’t wrong.

But the situation on Longmu Island is far from simple.

“Miss Zhou, why are you shaking your head?”

Duan Wenwu saw Zhou Wenjing shake her head and asked:

“You, girl, are quite perceptive. Feel free to say what’s on your mind.

“We are all on the same boat now.

“No need to be so evasive.”

Zhou Wenjing, however, remained somewhat silent, glanced at Cheng Suying, and said in a low voice:

“In any case, we must find a way to connect with Su, the Chief of the Escort.”

“That’s right.”

Cheng Suying immediately nodded: “If Su, the Chief, knows, we might just be able to save Ren Jie.”

Duan Wenwu listened to their conversation and couldn’t help but frown:

“This Su, the Chief, you mentioned, is it that young man?

“What kind of abilities does he have to gain such admiration from you two?

“Why have I never heard of this person before?”

Zhou Wenjing and Cheng Suying both shook their heads:

“This Su, the Chief, has quite a background, but without his permission, we dare not spread his reputation. Please forgive us, Senior Duan.”

“Forget it.”

Duan Wenwu sighed, realizing the two had limited trust in him, but he didn’t press further, only saying:

“But right now, it’s not easy to contact this person.

“Within Longmu Island, the defenses are strict, and the City Lord Manor is even more perilous.

“If we go, we may be captured before we even find Su, the Chief.”

“Actually…”

Zhou Wenjing pondered for a moment: “There’s another way.”

At this point, she looked at Cheng Suying.

Cheng Suying suddenly realized: “There is indeed another way. Let’s go.”

“Will this bring trouble?”

Zhou Wenjing looked at Cheng Suying, as there was still this issue to consider, and wanted her opinion.

Cheng Suying paused in her step, her brow slightly furrowed:

“We must still proceed cautiously and not be careless.

“If there really are disciples from Longmu Island watching, we’ll turn around and find another way.”

“It has to be this way.”

Zhou Wenjing sighed and glanced at Duan Wenwu again.

Duan Wenwu found the look inexplicable.

Finally, Zhou Wenjing gently shook her head: “Senior Duan, will you come with us?”

“…Now, we’re all in the same boat; if you don’t take me, I’ll be at a loss.”

Duan Wenwu stood up: “Please, let’s go.”

The three of them said no more, stealthily moving toward a destination.

Moments later, they arrived beside a dense forest.

Duan Wenwu recognized the area: “Is this where we landed on the island?”

Zhou Wenjing and Cheng Suying nodded, carefully surveying the surroundings, noting there were indeed no disciples from Longmu Island around, and breathed a sigh of relief.

After a slight detour, they arrived at a cliff.

Looking down, the large ship from Ziyang Escort Agency was anchored there.

And nearby, no one was watching.

Duan Wenwu suddenly realized:

“Are there people still on the ship?”

“Yes, the other members of Ziyang Escort Agency are waiting on the ship.”

Zhou Wenjing nodded lightly.

Duan Wenwu was lost in thought as the two girls leapt onto the ship’s deck.

Not giving it much thought, he hurriedly followed.

But as soon as he stepped onto the deck, Duan Wenwu’s expression changed dramatically!

A strong sense of unease enveloped him.

He felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

In his mind, he vaguely saw a pair of eyes full of killing intent, glaring fiercely and casting an overpowering pressure.

This… this ship holds great danger!!

Duan Wenwu’s heart shrank fiercely, afraid to take another step forward.

Zhou Wenjing and Cheng Suying, who were walking ahead, turned to look at him, a bit surprised:

“Senior Duan, what’s wrong?”

Cold sweat beaded on Duan Wenwu’s forehead, his whole body trembling incessantly.

Seeing that the two girls were unfazed, he felt somewhat bewildered.

“You… You’re fine?”

After saying this, he realized the eyes seemed to have disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The dread of having fallen into an abyss vanished at once.

It felt as if everything just moments ago was merely an illusion.

But for someone like Duan Wenwu?

Experienced in the Jianghu for years, he was extremely sensitive to killing intent.

Just now, there must have been an expert who intimidated him with killing intent.

Moreover, this expert’s martial arts were exceedingly high, surpassing him to a great degree, hence the intimidation through killing intent.

His heart was uneasy, and he dared not act rashly.

Cheng Suying and Zhou Wenjing asked a couple of questions, to which Duan Wenwu remained silent, not pressing further.

Their arrival had also alerted the people on board.

The first to come out was Fu Han Yuan.

Seeing Zhou Wenjing and Cheng Suying, Fu Han Yuan was also taken aback:

“Why have you two returned at this time?”

“Escort Leader Fu.”

Cheng Suying and Zhou Wenjing cupped their fists, and Fu Han Yuan promptly returned the gesture.

Then, Song Yuanlong and others came out from the cabin. Upon seeing Zhou Wenjing and Cheng Suying, Song Yuanlong waved for the others to return to rest.

He was about to lead Zhou Cheng and Duan Wenwu into the cabin for a talk.

Suddenly, a figure darted onto the deck.

This person glanced around, casually playing with a Jade Flute in hand, and chuckled lightly:

“I didn’t expect a large ship to be hidden here.”

The voice was hard to distinguish between male and female, possibly altered by Inner Strength, or was there another mystery?

“Is it you?”

Zhou and Cheng’s expressions changed.

Although this person had helped fend off disciples from Longmu Island in the woods earlier.

Yet it was unclear whether they were friend or foe.

Now they boarded the ship, their intentions unsure?

The person clasped their fist in a salute:

“Greetings to everyone…”
