Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning - Chapter 1472 - 556: Look, Look!_3
Then he inclined his ear to listen.
After a moment, he thoughtfully glanced back at the middle-aged man:
“If we really can’t open it, what should we do then?”
“Don’t worry.”
The middle-aged man smiled: “If it can be opened, that’s certainly good, but if it can’t be opened… someone has already gone to invite the person who can open this door.”
“Oh?”
The burly man was taken aback: “I wonder which family’s master it is?”
“The Ximen Family’s.”
The middle-aged man smiled slightly: “Although he may not be able to deal with so many people, it’s not difficult to take one away from them.”
“I see…”
The burly man nodded and continued tapping on the door.
Meanwhile, at sea, beyond the horizon, three large ships were anchored in silent repose.
The sails had long been stowed, and the large characters ’Ziyang Escort Agency’ were not visible.
The people on the ship, having nothing to do, were chatting on the deck, looking at the sky, looking at the sea, or fishing.
Ximen Huai was huddled with Shangguan Jingjing, pointing at the sea from the side of the ship.
However, as Ximen Huai spoke enthusiastically, Shangguan Jingjing remained silent.
She seemed distracted, yet it was unclear what had caught her thoughts.
While Ximen Huai was speaking passionately, he also observed the expressions of those around him, and he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
The thrill of speaking provocative words left a mark that was difficult to mend.
He now deeply understood the principle of being persistent.
But winning back Shangguan Jingjing’s trust was not something that could be achieved overnight.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but sigh deeply in his heart.
Yet he forced himself to rally with spirit, pointing his finger to the sea:
“Jingjing, do you know how many fish swim in this sea?”
Shangguan Jingjing glanced at Ximen Huai, shaking her head perfunctorily.
“You can’t count them all.”
Ximen Huai pretended to be amazed.
Shangguan Jingjing said nothing, watching his performance.
Growing up by the sea, who doesn’t know these things?
Previously, she always thought anything Ximen Huai said was interesting.
Every word and action lingered in her heart.
Now watching him speak arrogantly, she didn’t feel disgust, but the incident in the Qi Family’s hall couldn’t be forgotten, although it hadn’t left much of a mark in her heart.
To be honest, she couldn’t care as much as she did in the past.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Jingjing felt a little fearful.
Someone she cared so deeply about suddenly becoming insignificant.
Was it because Ximen Huai hurt her too deeply?
Or was she inherently heartless?
As these thoughts crossed her mind, she heard Ximen Huai say:
“In this water, there’s a type of colorless fish, entirely like water, creating ripples when it moves, but the fish itself is invisible.”
“This kind of fish only reveals itself when its blood stops circulating after death.”
“When I was a child, accompanying my father on sea trips, I occasionally caught a glimpse of one and have never forgotten it.”
Shangguan Jingjing nodded:
“What you’re talking about… isn’t jellyfish, is it?”
“No, no.”
Ximen Huai quickly shook his head, wishing he could find a colorless fish right now to show Shangguan Jingjing.
At that moment, he really saw waves on the sea surface.
He was slightly startled and looked closely, but couldn’t see any fish in the water.
These kind of waves, if there were fish, were usually sharks or dolphins.
Now there’s nothing; isn’t that precisely a colorless fish?
Immediately he pulled Shangguan Jingjing:
“Look, look…”
As he spoke, there came a loud splash.
Shangguan Jingjing instinctively raised her hand to shield her face, blocking the water spray with her sleeve.
When she opened her eyes again, Ximen Huai was nowhere to be seen.
“Eh?”
Shangguan Jingjing exclaimed.
This immediately caught the attention of everyone on the ship.
They hurriedly asked what happened, and Shangguan Jingjing quickly replied:
“Ximen Huai fell into the water.”
In fact, this wasn’t such a big deal.
He just fell into the water.
On one hand, they’re all experts; on the other, Ximen Huai grew up in Nanhai, so he must be skilled in swimming.
They waited by the side, but no matter how long they waited, he didn’t appear.
Song Yuanlong promptly sent people into the water to check.
They found nothing but fish underneath the water, nothing else.
Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t help but ask:
“How did he… fall into the water?”
Shangguan Jingjing carefully recalled and stammered:
“He just said ’Look, look,’ and then… gone…”
“???
Yang Xiaoyun, Wei Ziyi, Little Situ, and including Zhen Xiaoxiao, everyone present was dumbfounded.
What was this?
A spell?
Say it, and then disappear?
Upon further inquiry, they learned that before Ximen Huai disappeared, there had been a burst of water spray.
Immediately Yang Xiaoyun’s expression turned solemn, and she exchanged a glance with Wei Ziyi, nodding slightly.
She then instructed Song Yuanlong to send people up to the lookout.
To monitor movements in all directions.
Su Mo had them stop here, quite cunningly.
At sea, everything was visible.
Today was without mist, and skies were clear.
Any movement could be seen clearly.
Su Mo’s idea was to wait here, if an enemy approached, escape quickly.
If someone arrived to take Ximen Huai, offer some resistance, then let him be taken… thereafter observe movements in all directions.
Ximen Huai’s identity was special; he played a crucial role in Cui Xin Temple.
It’s conceivable someone might attempt to abduct him.
If this happened, it indicated changes within Cui Xin Temple.
Stay vigilant to protect themselves first.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaoyun frowned tightly.
Was Ximen Huai abducted?
What changes were occurring at Cui Xin Temple?
Su Mo was skilled in deceptions, but what trick was this time?
She wished she could quickly journey to Cui Xin Temple.
But Su Mo wouldn’t allow it, so she could only stay here obediently.
Only hoping Su Mo would return safely.
Meanwhile…
On the shores of the island where Cui Xin Temple was located, the master of Dark Dragon Hall arrived just a bit too late.
He could only watch as the Li Clan’s ship sailed away.
Unable to help himself, he sighed:
“We fell for the enemy’s trap!”
As his words fell, a voice laughed:
“Those words are truly unpleasant.”
