Two days later.
Yun Qingluo and the others originally intended to take their leave, but Elder Xuan said, "You don't have a boat. Even if you get out of here, you won't be able to get out of this sea. Why don't you stay a little longer? I've already had them prepare a sea vessel. Once the boat is ready, you can leave. I won't stop you from staying."
Although Yun Qingluo still has a super luxury cruise ship in her system, she would never take it out.
That was redeemed with merit points, and she planned to use it after retirement; she couldn't bear to take it out now.
Besides, this is someone else's territory, so she has to be careful in everything she does. If her identity is exposed, it will be troublesome.
So even if they desperately want to leave, they can't, and can only wait patiently.
During the day, Elder Xuan would invite those in white robes and white skirts to play chess and go fishing.
She and Mo Beichen wandered around the island at their leisure.
Shadow, meanwhile, led his bodyguards to help build the ship.
It was a sunny afternoon.
"I wonder how Feng Tianxing and Yun Ying are doing." Yun Qingluo lay on the grass, feeling the warm sunshine on her body, and suddenly thought of Feng Tianxing and Yun Ying.
When I went to the Minjiang River, I brought the two of them with me.
Upon arriving in the disaster area, for safety reasons, Feng Tianxing and Yun Ying remained hidden in the shadows and did not show themselves.
After their accident, they left a secret signal for Feng Tianxing and Yun Ying, instructing them to go to the capital to ensure that the gifts from the Xumi Dynasty were delivered to the palace properly, and then agree to meet at Luochenxuan.
Mo Beichen sat next to Yun Qingluo, reaching out to shield her from the slightly glaring sunlight above her head, ensuring that Yun Qingluo could open her eyes.
Yun Qingluo looked at Mo Beichen, who was taking such good care of her, and pouted.
Everything about him is perfect, he's considerate in every way, but there's just no sign of him being affectionate. It's really difficult.
When will these bland and tasteless days end?
Mo Beichen replied to Yun Qingluo in a deep voice, "They should have arrived in the capital by now. There shouldn't be any problems with the wedding gifts. Don't worry. I've already secretly spoken to Xuan Ming. We might not be able to attend the wedding banquet on time. If there are any problems with the gifts from Xumi, we can make up for them when we get back."
Seeing that Mo Beichen had already made all the arrangements, Yun Qingluo chuckled and said, "Ah Chen is really capable."
Mo Beichen had gotten used to Yun Qingluo's occasional praise over the past few days, and he looked away without blushing or skipping a beat.
But a faint pink tinge on his ear gave him away.
Yun Qingluo didn't continue the topic and started discussing Elder Xuan.
“I can’t figure out his motives, but he seems to pay special attention to the shadow. He said he knows Xuan Ming, so it must be true. I just don’t know what his relationship with Xuan Ming is. When he mentioned Xuan Ming, his tone was very friendly. Could he be a relative of Xuan Ming?”
Mo Beichen shook his head. "I've never heard of it."
Yun Qingluo suddenly tilted her head and looked at Mo Beichen, asking, "Achen? If you were to face Elder Xuan, could you defeat him?"
Mo Beichen shook his head, his tone calm, "Even if I used all my strength, I probably wouldn't last ten moves against him."
Yun Qingluo was taken aback. "Could it be that he has already become an immortal?"
Mo Beichen chuckled softly, "It's just that there are always people more capable than you. Perhaps they, as island guardians, have their own unique cultivation techniques. We'll find out his true purpose in due time."
Yun Qingluo's heart sank. She had tried to contact Xiao Yi repeatedly during this time, but to no avail.
She looked up at the sky. This invisible barrier was actually severing the connection between her and Xiao Yi. It was truly bizarre.
About half a month later, Yun Qingluo and her group once again proposed to leave.
This time, Elder Xuan did not stop them, and even offered to personally escort them away.
The group was somewhat flattered.
"Ah, I've been very happy to have you all kept this old man company on this deserted island these past few days. Now that you're leaving, I'm just seeing you off. It's nothing."
He looked up at the sky, chuckled, and said, "Hmm, the timing is perfect, let's hurry up and go."
Bai Chang was a little puzzled. "Does Elder Xuan mean that the time we leave is just right? But the wind is a bit strong right now. Why don't we wait until the wind stops before we leave?"
Drifting at sea, they had truly suffered enough from the sea winds, so looking at the raging wind now, they felt a little scared.
But Elder Xuan said decisively, "It's just a little wind. We can take advantage of it to set sail. We can't delay any longer; we have to leave quickly."
After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone with a somewhat forceful expression.
Seeing this, Mo Beichen felt a hint of doubt, but he remained calm on the surface. "What Elder Xuan said makes a lot of sense. The wind is just right. Let's go quickly."
After saying that, he took Yun Qingluo's hand and walked outside first.
Seeing this, Baiyi and Baishang followed.
Yunying looked at Elder Xuan, hesitated, and ultimately said nothing, leading her guards back the way they came.
Old Master Xuan glanced at the shadow's back, then looked up at the sky, smiling broadly. "I never expected that heaven would be on my side. I will absolutely not miss this opportunity."
Elder Xuan gestured behind him, and the children disappeared into the flower bushes.
The group walked and stopped frequently, and it took them most of the day to reach the outer edge of the island.
At noon, the sea breeze was very strong.
Looking around, they saw a tall, sturdy ship docked at the shore.
Joy shone in everyone's eyes; with this ship, they could finally leave this sea.
The man in white turned to look at Elder Xuan, "I never expected Elder Xuan to build such a large and luxurious ship so quickly. I am truly grateful."
Elder Xuan waved his hand with a smile, "No need to be so polite. I've already told you that you are my benefactors, or rather, my distinguished guests, hahaha. I've been so happy these past few days that I've been a bit incoherent. Please forgive me."
The clouds fell silently.
She thought for a moment, then took out an oil paper package from her parcel, opened it, and presented it to Elder Xuan with both hands.
"These past few days on the island, I've enjoyed researching local snacks. Elder Xuan's favorite is this popcorn chicken. I made some this morning, but I was in a rush when I left, and I only just remembered to give it to Elder Xuan. Please eat it while it's still hot, so that it can fulfill one of my wishes. Elder Xuan, please eat it while it's hot, because you probably won't be able to eat it again in the future."
Since she had nothing better to do on the island these past few days, and couldn't access the system to refine medicine, she could only go into the kitchen to cook delicious food.
This popcorn chicken is indeed Master Xuan's favorite food, especially when dipped in ketchup.
Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan glanced at Yun Qingluo with some surprise. Seeing the sincerity shining in Yun Qingluo's eyes, his doubts dissipated somewhat.
His current physical condition meant that even if he ingested arsenic, he wouldn't die immediately from the poison, so he wasn't worried at all that Yun Qingluo would poison him.
