At this point, someone came to them wanting to sign up for diving.

"Instructor, I'd like to sign up for a diving program. Could you lower the price a bit?" the man said.

Both coaches' faces darkened. "Are you deliberately blocking the way?"

"Sorry, we're off work."

After they finished speaking, they continued their escape.

However, the man blocked their way and said, "Off work? It's not time to leave yet, okay? It's not easy for me to come all this way, so why don't you teach me how to dive!"

"Really, we'll come back next time after get off work, okay?" The two coaches were panicking and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

However, their haste to leave attracted the attention of others.

"What's wrong with you two? Why are you suddenly leaving?" asked the two coaches' colleague.

"N-nothing...we just have something urgent to attend to," one of the coaches stammered.

"Urgent? What's the emergency? Do you need our help?" someone joked.

The two coaches' expressions changed, and they became even more flustered.

They knew that if their secret were discovered, the consequences would be dire.

"No need, thank you."

The two of them hurried away.

However, they were pulled back by their colleagues.

"Hey, don't go yet. Look! Someone is riding a whale across the sea."

"Exactly! This is a spectacle unlike anything we've ever seen before. It would be such a shame if you left. Come and take a look!"

The two coaches cursed their colleague a thousand times in their hearts, wanting to say, "What the hell are you watching? I just want to leave, okay?!"

However, despite saying that, they had no choice but to turn around and look at Li Yi and the others.

But they discovered that Li Yi and his group had already reached the shore.

Tourists gathered around, pointing and whispering among themselves.

"Look, it's them, riding back on orcas."

"It's amazing. This is the first time I've ever seen someone ride an orca."

"Were they orcas in their past lives? Otherwise, why would orcas listen to them?"

...

Li Yi turned around, picked up Liu Chunlei, and the two jumped to the diving shore.

Then, Li Yi patted the orca father's body and let out a low moan, signaling them to leave.

The orca father, orca mother, and calf all uttered low, guttural sounds as they bid farewell to Li Yi.

Then, they slowly turned around, gracefully swaying their massive bodies, and dived back into the azure ocean, gradually disappearing from everyone's sight.

A chorus of gasps rose and fell from the crowd; everyone was deeply moved by the scene.

"My God, both the orca and he are making sounds. Are they communicating in a language only they can understand?"

"Wow, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it. Someone can actually communicate with orcas."

"Being able to communicate is one thing, but the key is that the orca listens to him. Amazing, my brother!"

Li Yi and Liu Chunlei stepped out from under everyone's gaze, their faces beaming with ease and joy.

"That's incredible, Li Yi, you really did it."

Liu Chunlei looked at Li Yi with curiosity and admiration in her eyes. Even now, with her feet on the beach, she still found it hard to believe that they had actually ridden an orca back to the shore a few kilometers away.

Li Yi smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I have learned some animal languages, so I can communicate with them in a simple way. In addition, I saved them, so the orcas are very close to me, just like my old friends."

At this moment, many people gathered around, wanting to ask Li Yi and Liu Chunlei for details.

"Hello, are those orcas you're talking to? How do you communicate with them?"

Many people gathered around to ask questions.

However, Li Yi didn't have time to answer questions right now. He pointed in the direction of the two diving instructors and said, "They're trying to run away. Don't let them get away."

After saying that, Li Yi rushed out first.

Upon seeing this, the two coaches disregarded everything else and took off running.

Everyone was stunned.

"What's going on? Why did he chase after two diving instructors as soon as he came down?"

"I don't know! Come on, let's go see what's going on!"

At this moment, the two diving instructors were already pale with fright. They ran away as fast as they could, but they were no match for Li Yi's speed, and he caught up with them in no time.

"Where do you think you're going?" Li Yi snapped.

The two coaches felt a chill run down their spines; they knew that at this moment, there was no escaping it.

They faced Li Yi and Liu Chunlei with a heavy heart.

"Are you...are you alright?" one of the coaches stammered.

Li Yi looked at them, a cold glint in his eyes.

"Nothing wrong? You pulled our oxygen tanks and masks off the seabed and you're asking us if we're okay?"

One coach said, "Don't wrong an innocent person! We have professional ethics, how could we do such a thing?"

"That's right, if you dare to say anything more, we'll sue you!"

Liu Chunlei rebuked, "You forced us to buy your new masks, and when we refused, you removed our oxygen tanks and masks. And you still want to deny it?"

One of the coaches said, "Miss, you can't just say things like that. What evidence do you have?"

Another coach: "Exactly! If you can just spout off like that, then I'd say you stole a million from me last night. Give me back my money!"

Hearing this, the surrounding crowd began to whisper among themselves, curious and confused by this sudden dispute.

"Exactly, you shouldn't talk nonsense. You need evidence for everything you say!"

Liu Chunlei said, "We were diving at the time and didn't have our phones with us, so where would we get the evidence?"

Upon hearing this, the two coaches became even bolder.

"If you have no evidence, why are you slandering us?"

"You two are really up to no good. Are you the kind of people other lurkers envy? Everyone should compete fairly. Aren't you going too far by doing this?"

Liu Chunlei was getting anxious; it was like a scholar encountering a soldier—she couldn't reason with him.

They were almost killed by the coach underwater, and now they're just dismissed with a casual slander?

However, Liu Chunlei discovered that they really couldn't produce any evidence at all.

The two coaches exchanged a smile; now they didn't have to run anymore.

Li Yi frowned and said, "You're going to deny it to the death, aren't you?"

One coach said, "Admit it? We didn't do that, why should we admit it? You're trying to slander us, you have ulterior motives!"

Li Yi realized that these two coaches were repeat offenders, and without evidence, there was indeed nothing he could do about them.

However, if we let them leave, it will definitely be difficult to find them again.

Thinking of this, Li Yi stepped forward without saying a word, intending to control the two of them.

The two coaches witnessed Li Yi's resistance, but they soon realized that they were no match for him.

Li Yi easily subdued them, restraining their hands from behind, and then led them towards the seaside.
