The moment this thought flashed through her mind, Qu Yan felt her eyes moisten.
After the good days were over, Qu Yan suddenly started to suffer. She really couldn't accept it.
She also couldn't understand what was wrong with this world.
What happened to me was clearly in the secret realm inside the Jitian Sect. Even if I was going to die, shouldn’t I die in the Jitian Sect?
How could I be on the endless ocean in the blink of an eye?
Could it be that... the secret realm's true location is on the ocean? Or is there some other way out?
Thinking of this, Qu Yan's eyes were full of regret. She stood up straight, simply judged the direction, and then rowed harder towards the distance.
She couldn't stop because she couldn't guarantee that the people on the previous boat hadn't discovered anything.
What if...what if those people are nosy and tell the villagers about the boat floating on the sea.
It won't be long before someone catches up.
Thinking of this, Qu Yan swung the oar faster.
The only sounds in my ears were the splashing of the sea and the sound of my oars paddling in the water.
After an unknown amount of time, Qu Yan saw something suddenly glowing not far away.
Looking up, I saw a beam of light coming from behind.
Looking back, I saw a lighted ship sailing on the sea in the distance.
Most importantly, this beam of light seems to be looking for something.
Without any doubt, Qu Yan was certain that they came for her.
My heart was beating fast, and the feeling of fear instantly filled my whole heart.
The urgency of racing against time and the fear of being caught up by the evil spirit made Qu Yan almost unable to breathe.
He paddled with all his strength and finally hit a reef protruding from the sea before being found by the beam of light.
I subconsciously wanted to climb up, but realized that the small boat here would expose my whereabouts.
Taking the risk of rowing the boat around the reef again and to the side and rear, making sure that this position would not be seen, Qu Yan tied the rope that secured the hull to the reef.
Gradually he leaned against the boat, trying to lower his body and breathe more lightly.
The sound of the ship was getting closer and closer, and the sea water around it rose and fell as the ship passed by.
Qu Yan knew that this was a sign that the ship was getting closer, so she blinked hard to calm herself down.
Trying hard to calm down, Chuimu wanted to hear something.
At first, all I could hear was my own thunderous heartbeat.
But gradually... gradually, the mosquito-like voices of conversation became clearer in Qu Yan's ears.
"Didn't you say you saw that little boat floating in this location?"
A young man's voice sounded.
"Yes, Master Lin, I'm definitely not mistaken. That boat belongs to an old bachelor in our village. He was just putting out a fire at my house. It definitely wasn't rowed by him.
Besides, that old man has a gloomy temperament, so it's impossible for anyone to borrow his boat. Master Lin, you have also searched the island with magic tools, and there is no trace of that woman. She must have gone out to sea..."
This voice is... Old Man Zhao!
It was actually him! He was just so unlucky!!! The boat he encountered while escaping was the one Old Man Zhao was bringing back to buy his own life.
But... this was not the most despairing thing for Qu Yan. What made her most unbearable was the magic weapon he mentioned that could search for people.
These people are monks? ! !
I have no cultivation at all now, how can I possibly resist a group of monks.
Moreover, the effect of the medicine in his body has not yet completely worn off, and it is impossible to defeat him relying solely on physical strength.
"Sir! There's movement over there!"
This exclamation made Qu Yan's heart rise to her throat.
When she saw a beam of light hitting the reef, Qu Yan realized that they might have discovered something.
He gritted his teeth and as they were talking and about to move closer, he gently slid into the water along the inside of the reef.
The barnacles on the reef scratched her back painfully, but she didn't care about that at the moment and gently loosened the rope that bound the boat.
Then he took a deep breath and sank down, holding on to the reef and waiting motionlessly for the verdict of fate.
"Sir! The boat is indeed here!"
"Where are the people?"
"No one, they should be around here."
"Yes, yes, Master Lin. When we came here just now, we saw no one on the boat. I'm afraid it fell in that place. How about we go back and look for it?"
Old man Zhao asked tentatively in a flattering voice, his eyes full of anxiety and resentment.
But if I were to ask how sad I am...I'm afraid not.
His resentment towards Qu Yan also stems from the fact that his son's life or death is currently unknown, but... he has raised a fool son into middle age, and Old Man Zhao had long lost hope in this son.
What's more, he has a son who is infertile and stupid... Only that old woman refused to accept this fact and kept...
Thinking of this, the old man's eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
The thought of his mistress on the island next door flashed through his mind... If he could successfully sell Qu Yan, he could marry that person. Her son was still young, and as long as he treated him sincerely, he would surely treat him well after changing his surname to Zhao.
Thinking of this, the already barely perceptible sadness in Old Man Zhao's eyes disappeared, leaving only anxiety.
The feeling of being eager to get the money promised by the Lin family.
Seeing what Old Man Zhao was thinking, the Lin family members on the boat looked at him with contempt.
Master Lin glanced at him and nodded to the servant beside him.
Qu Yan, who had quietly surfaced to breathe, heard the sound of a counter-attack.
But she was not in a hurry to breathe a sigh of relief, nor was she in a hurry to jump back onto the boat that had been exposed to those people.
He continued to maintain this posture, with only his head and half of his shoulder exposed, for a long, long time, until his body began to tremble and was about to slip into the sea.
Qu Yan slowly moved her hands and feet, carefully clinging to the reef, and turned around to see how far the big ship was away.
"Oh……"
The sound of a light laugh made Qu Yan's whole body tremble instantly.
I looked up suddenly and saw the moonlight just breaking through the clouds, casting a layer of light that finally came down that night.
With the help of this ray of moonlight, Qu Yan could clearly see a man wearing a sapphire blue robe, a gorgeous and exquisite belt around his waist, and a hair crown of the same style on his head.
"You are the most patient prey I have ever caught..."
Before she finished speaking, Qu Yan suddenly let go of her hand and let her body sink into the cold sea.
There was no hesitation in his movements, and no look that showed he was confused by his appearance, which made the man in blue robe pause.
Then he sneered, raised his hand, and the next second Qu Yan's body was pulled out of the sea.
