Instead, a few days after the elders of the Ying family were murdered, he noticed something amiss when he passed by the area and saw that the boats on the shore were going out too often. He then gradually traced the clues to this place.
Feng Yi appeared as a savior, rescuing the Ying siblings. He claimed to have executed all the thieves, but no one witnessed the process.
Feng Yi is a prince, a descendant of the imperial family. The treasures on the island were originally unclaimed, so it was only natural for him to take over them.
Ying Yi's older sister also fell in love with him because of the hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress storyline, but she never returned after leaving the island with Feng Yi ten years ago.
Feng Yi said she died from illness due to the change in environment, but Ying Yi didn't believe her. He couldn't leave the island easily, so he had nowhere to investigate.
He discovered another anomaly earlier than he investigated this matter.
He discovered the same tattoo on one of the bodyguards that belonged to the person who killed his parents. That's why he asked to stay and learn martial arts, and join Feng Yi's bodyguards, citing having nowhere else to go and also to repay the life-saving grace.
Xiao Yunying listened to the whole story and felt that Ying Yi was a little clever, but he was too young and didn't think things through, which is why he is like this now, constantly suppressed by Feng Yi.
Even if he doesn't join the secret guards, Feng Yi probably won't let him leave.
They didn't kill them because they were still eyeing the treasures elsewhere, and they weren't short of money for the time being, so they hadn't revealed their true colors yet.
She didn't listen to much of what Ying Yi said after that, and started imagining how large the treasure trove Ying Yi had mentioned would be, and what rare and precious items it would contain.
"Miss Xiao, Miss Xiao?"
Xiao Yunying sat up straight: "What's wrong? Have you two brothers finished talking?"
Ying Yi hummed in agreement, while Ying Zhao lowered his head and remained silent, clearly still processing the information.
Xiao Yunying was too lazy to deal with that brat. It wasn't something that could be done quickly after one's values were shattered and then rebuilt. She thought it would be better to discuss serious matters with Ying Yi.
She said directly, "Tomorrow I will use the excuse of wanting to eat snow-white red bean paste to get you to go off the island to find some for me. If Feng Yi asks you for details, just say that you accompanied me to buy some pastries on the way here, but you didn't look carefully at what we bought. Once we get to the city, go to all the pastry shops, teahouses, restaurants, and other places that sell pastries and ask them first."
This was something she had jokingly said to Luo Sheng before, saying that if she were ever kidnapped again, she would find a way to have someone spread the name of the dessert "Snowy Red Bean Paste" as a code to tell her approximate location.
Anyway, apart from him, who had been following him the whole way, the other guards had been stationed at the door and hadn't come in. They couldn't possibly know what he had bought, so this reason was somewhat plausible.
"Then what?"
"Then just play it by ear. Anyway, the snow-white bean paste is the code. If someone contacts you, try to pass on the message. If no one pays attention, just buy a few of the snacks I bought on the way. I don't really want to eat these things, and I won't really punish you for not being able to buy them."
“I don’t think Feng Yi will let the two of us brothers go out together now, nor will he let me leave the island alone. There will definitely be a lot of people following us…”
"I know, that's why I'm telling you to be flexible." Xiao Yunying thought to herself that this person had stopped calling her "master" after making things clear: "Don't think about running away yet. First, see if Luo Sheng's men have arrived. Let this kid stay on the island for now. He'll be fine as long as you don't run away."
