Xia Tianqiu, this name sounds so familiar.
Chu Yao thought about it for a long time and suddenly realized, isn’t Tianqiu the name of Xiaoran’s daughter?
Xiaoran’s husband’s name is Xia Qing, and Tianqiu is the name of their daughter, nicknamed Qiuer.
This... this is really a great discovery.
Gong Xiaoran's beloved daughter was actually abducted to such a place by the Blood Alliance!
Chu Yao immediately handed the page with Xiao Qiu's name to Xiaoran, then packed up all the things and left Princess Ye.
She didn't plan to stay in Xindu for too long, and rescuing He Qiaosi was just a small episode.
When she rushed back to the base, Gong Xiaoran was indeed unable to sit still and was asking for ways to get to Yaxiu Sea.
God knows how long she has been waiting for this day!
As soon as Chu Yao appeared, Xiao Ran stepped forward and hugged her tightly, shaking her shoulders with his hands:
"Well done Chu Yao! We must head to Yaxiu Sea immediately!"
"Don't call me by my real name in front of so many people...Xiaoran, calm down."
"Calm down... Yes, calm down. You must calm down. Qiu'er is still waiting for me! We must be prepared!"
Chu Yao understood Xiaoran's excitement and patted her shoulder gently. "So, have you found a solution? As far as I know, there aren't many ports that are still navigable."
Nuclear weapons have created vast wastelands, but not all the seawater has been evaporated. The Yaxiu Sea, east of the Third Continent, is one of the vast expanses of sea that still exists, dotted with countless uninhabited islands.
"I've confirmed the location on the satellite map based on the longitude and latitude listed on the list. This island is roughly in the center of the Yaxiu Sea."
Gong Xiaoran brought the phone to Chu Yao and zoomed in and out on the map with his fingers.
"It's located in the southwest corner of the main island of Central Yaxiu. There aren't many details on the map. It looks like a deserted island with no buildings... but now it seems the Blood Alliance has used some means to conceal it."
"Yeah, yeah." Chu Yao nodded repeatedly.
"There are two ways: one is by plane, the other by boat. Ordinary flights can't reach directly. The terminal building on the main island of Yaxiu was destroyed during the insect infestation and has not been rebuilt yet. Also, due to the Steel Dome's policy, private aircraft must apply for permission to take off, which takes a lot of time. So the best way is to take a boat!"
"Is there any sea transportation connection between the Yaxiu Islands and the third continent? Do I need to pay for a ticket?" Chu Yao had stayed in the wasteland for too long and no longer paid much attention to news about the ocean.
"Yes, although very few. But we don't need to buy tickets."
"Why?"
"Remember the dozen or so fishing boats we seized from Zhou Cheng in Tianhai City?" Gong Xiaoran's eyes sparkled. "Three of them are now docked at Haixin Port on the north side of Unjust City!"
Chu Yao was stunned. So that's how it was. She almost forgot about this.
“So our fishing industry is still operating?”
"Of course it wasn't working in the first two years, but now the risk of an insect infestation is very low. We invested money to restart it at the beginning of this year, and the income is very considerable. You catch insects in the wasteland every day, so you naturally don't know these things."
"Well, I really don't know." Chu Yao spread her hands. "You really have arranged everything so clearly. When do we set off?"
"We?" Gong Xiaoran was stunned. "You want to go with me too?"
"Of course I'll go with you!" Chu Yao's expression turned serious. "You don't think we can bring your daughter back by sailing around the Yaxiu Islands, do you?"
She pulled Xiaoran to a secluded corner of the base and said, "Don't take the Blood Alliance lightly. I ran into two of their Jindan cultivators when I went to Xindu today. Since the existence of this island is a secret, how could there not be other Jindan cultivators guarding it?"
If this is true, Gong Xiaoran, a foundation-building cultivator, is seeking death by coming here.
"Two Jindan, what's going on? You haven't told me yet." Gong Xiaoran was shocked when he heard this.
So Chu Yao told her everything about chasing the murderer and fighting the enemy just now.
"I see... It seems we really need to be more cautious." Gong Xiaoran's face was filled with worry. "We could have set off tomorrow morning... I'm really worried about Qiu'er."
"I understand, but we must be prepared." Chu Yao patted Xiao Ran's shoulder again and said, "Let Xiao Huo thoroughly investigate that sea area. We'll investigate as much as we can."
"Okay." Gong Xiaoran nodded with difficulty. "Then I'll see if I can prepare some more weapons."
"Well, I have to go back to the cave first. There might be a fierce battle there."
Chu Yao quickly returned to the cave where she had been before and told her senior sister the whole story.
"Do you need my help?" Bai Yuejian became concerned when she heard that her junior sister had found the whereabouts of her friend's daughter.
She would occasionally go to the base and had a good relationship with everyone in the company.
"One of us has to stay behind to guard the house." Chu Yao chatted while occasionally drawing out a few ghosts and sending them into the ghost bag. "Since we're just going to rescue people, I think the fewer people the better. It would be best if we could bring Qiu'er back quietly. And..."
Chu Yao paused for a moment and said, "Whether we can find it or not is another matter."
There were some things she didn't tell Gong Xiaoran, and Chu Yao hadn't had time to tell her, such as the brutal selection-style training in the training camp.
In Xuedie's memory, she seemed to be only sixteen years old when she was selected for the final assessment, which seemed to be determined based on the level of training of each person.
Five years have passed since Xiaoran separated from her daughter. She had previously told her that Tianqiu was nine years old then, so she must be at least fourteen now.
Xia Qing and Xiaoran were both Nascent Soul cultivators, so their daughter naturally had spiritual roots. Chu Yao would not be surprised if she successfully passed the training and qualified for the final assessment at the age of fourteen.
A test of fratricide...only one out of a hundred will survive.
Even if we put this aside for now, there are other problems, such as the fact that the list does not include specific years.
If her memory served her correctly, Yaxiu Sea seemed to be one of the origins of the Lingyuan insect swarm. Amidst the insect plague, it was unknown whether there were still people living on this small island.
"It's unlike you to be so pessimistic." Bai Yuejian seemed a little surprised. "You have to go and see it first to know, right?"
"I don't want to either... Maybe it's because I'm more worried about Xiaoran than Qiu'er." Chu Yao sighed, "She has always regarded her daughter as her hope for survival. If the final outcome is not good, I really don't know what stupid things she will do."
"You'd better explain this to her. She'll have to face it anyway."
"I will." Chu Yao nodded and continued to "load ammunition" into the ghost-binding bag.
There was a moment of silence between the two.
Bai Yuejian pondered for a moment, then took out the demon eye that could amplify his spiritual awareness from his storage bag:
"This journey is dangerous. This thing is useless to me for the time being. You take it first."
"Okay." Chu Yao did not refuse.
"Besides this, I'm also refining a formation plate. If there's still time, you can take it as well. It'll at least provide more protection."
"Array plate?"
