The girl was stunned, staring at him speechlessly: "What do I need them for?"

The bearded man thought he understood his beloved daughter's thoughts, but he was wrong. He asked in confusion, "You just said you liked them, but then you didn't want them. Is it because they all have wives and children?"

"Yes and no, and the 'like' I'm talking about isn't the 'like' that Father thinks I mean!"

The girl couldn't help but cry when she thought about how she had made a mistake in her first attempt at shipping a couple.

The bearded man immediately frowned deeply and asked with concern, "Then why are you crying?"

The girl exclaimed "Oh dear!" and stamped her foot, saying, "Father, don't ask anymore. The answer is that I didn't cry."

Okay, fine, I won't ask then.

The bearded man turned to walk back, but after taking two steps, he turned back to confirm, "You really don't want to marry them?"

"Father, didn't they get married? Do they want to get married again?" the girl asked in surprise, then suddenly lowered her head.

The bearded man thought to himself, "They can't go back to the way things were. Does that mean they won't find women to live with in the future?"

But I can't say these things to my daughter.

"You don't need to worry about that. I'll send someone to take them away this afternoon."

The bearded man waved to her and left.

The girl quickly chased after them: "Aren't they staying on the island?"

"If you don't want them, what's the point of keeping them on the island?" asked the bearded man.

"They're pleasing to the eye, Daddy. Don't you think they're very good-looking? Just looking at them makes me feel good, doesn't it?" It would be even better if the CP she was shipping was real, but even if it wasn't, it would be nice to see them often. Why send them away?

Men with full beards don't seem to notice.

However, seeing his daughter's expectant eyes, he nodded against his will.

"But we can't let them live in the house."

This was the old father's last insistence.

"But they encountered a shipwreck, lost all their luggage, and had no money for food..."

Before the girl could finish speaking, the bearded man interrupted her: "They have hands and feet, they're strong, why would they be afraid of not making money?"

"That's true."

"Alright, Father has other things to do. Go play by yourself, but you're not allowed to go out to sea again, understand?"

The bearded man gave her some instructions, and when she nodded, he strode towards the lobby.

That afternoon, Gu Yunzhen and Qin Yiheng were found wandering the streets.

"What do we do now?"

"Let's find out some information first."

Neither of them had any communication devices, so they walked together and did not separate.

Thanks to their striking good looks, they quickly learned that the lord of Dragon Keep was named Jonathan, and that he had a son named Parker and a daughter named Martha.

Martha is a girl they meet at sea.

Parker was the boy in the lobby.

There are twelve stewards in Tianlong Fort, who call themselves the Twelfth Rescue Team, specializing in rescuing people in distress at sea.

Gu Yunzhen had never heard her third brother mention any rescue teams at sea.

This island is strange and peculiar.

They could get information about Tianlong Fort, but they couldn't borrow mobile phones or other communication devices.

Furthermore, Martha mentioned that Uncle Li and another person wanted to kill her to silence her, clearly indicating that the position of the castle lord was not secure.

Gu Yunzhen and Qin Yiheng exchanged a glance, deciding to wait and see.

Where are you staying tonight?

"Make money first."

Qin Yiheng and Gu Yunzhen spoke at the same time.

If you don't have enough money, you can't even afford dinner, let alone stay in a hotel.

However, when they applied for jobs at three different companies, the companies rejected them outright when they learned that they had no ID card and no communication device.

They can understand that he doesn't have an ID card.

But is the lack of communication equipment a valid reason for refusal?

The two walked out of a building.

"Brother Heng, if I'm not mistaken, we've arrived at our destination by some twist of fate."

The destination refers to the Divine Messenger Organization.

However, this should not be the headquarters, since the lord of Tianlong Fort doesn't look like the leader of the Divine Envoy Organization.

Qin Yiheng hummed in agreement.

The two passed a music store, and Qin Yiheng suddenly stopped.

"I'll have to perform for money." Since finding a job was impossible, I had to earn money before nightfall to eat and sleep.

"..."

Gu Yunzhen suspected she was hallucinating.

"Don't worry, I won't say anything, no one will know what you did." Qin Yiheng patted his shoulder, using a feigned retreat to advance, "You can't let your brother-in-law go hungry and sleep on the streets, can you?"

Gu Yunzhen made a desperate attempt: "This shop may not have a suona."

"Why don't you go in and take a look?"

Qin Yiheng smiled and took the lead into the music store.

Gu Yunzhen frowned deeply. When Qin Yiheng turned around, he pursed his thin lips into a straight line and strode in with his long legs.

???

Three days ago, in the Imperial City.

Shangguan Wu woke up around eight o'clock and turned her head to look at the sky outside the window. She saw a beam of sunlight shining in through the gap in the curtains.

Does this mean the storm has passed and the sun is shining?

She watched for a while, then got up and went downstairs to have breakfast.

He looks the same as usual.

Gu Yilou saw her walk straight downstairs to the dining room and called out to her, "Sister-in-law."

Shangguan Wu looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gu Yilou in the living room. Her eyes were full of surprise: "Brother, good morning. Didn't you go to work today?"

Gu Yilou stood up and walked towards her: "I've been waiting for you."

"wait for me?"

Shangguan Wu looked confused, as if he had been waiting for her all morning.

Is something the matter?

"You eat first, I'll ask you a question and then go to the company."

"oh."

Shangguan Wu walked into the dining room and sat down at the table.

Soon a servant brought over breakfast.
