Hearing her serious words, Xiao Yunting looked at her deeply. After a while, he raised his hand to push away the messed-up hair on her forehead and said in a low voice, "Very good."
In his more than 20 years of life, this was the first time someone understood him so well and always stood by him.
If the person he met back then was Ye Lan, he probably wouldn't have taken that path.
But fortunately, things are not bad now. At least he can protect the person he likes.
The sea breeze gradually subsided and became gentle, and the two of them snuggled together, quietly admiring the scenery ahead for a while.
A minute later, all the ships stopped in the middle of the sea.
"Ms. Ye, we have arrived at the location you gave me. What should we do next?" Shi Zhong led his men from the stern and asked.
Ye Lan stood up and looked back at Wu Xingjie, "Next, it's up to Island Master Wu."
Wu Xingjie already knew what had happened and felt immense regret for his youthful recklessness. Being singled out felt a touch of embarrassment, but he still stepped forward, took out a pill, placed it in his palm, and pointed it toward the direction of the medicinal power emanating from the air. "The trees throughout Peach Blossom Island possess a natural medicinal power that can block our senses. At a certain concentration, it can interfere with signals, causing them to vanish. Now, I just need to use a corresponding drug to dispel it."
He is a genius in alchemy. It may be difficult for others to refine such a pill that is strong enough to counteract the medicinal power of an entire island, but it is very simple for him.
Therefore, when the thumb-sized pills dissipated, everyone gradually saw the island in front of them clearly.
It is a beautiful island full of peach blossoms and the fragrance of flowers. There are small bridges and thatched houses on the shore, and various flowers are planted on the coast. Houses are scattered among the peach trees not far away, giving people a feeling of being in a paradise.
"It's so close..." Shi Zhong looked at the shore which was less than three meters away. There were petals from the island floating in the water around the boat.
Such a huge island was right before their eyes, but they could not see it at all.
The coast guards around were shocked by this scene. It took them a long time to understand the order and sail to the shore.
As the commander-in-chief of this mission, Xiao Yunting's first order upon landing on the island was, "Safety first. If you encounter stubborn resistance during the rescue process, you can kill them on the spot."
Such a bloody yet straightforward and decisive order made Shi Zhong shudder for no reason. He wanted to say that this was not in line with their usual humanitarian style. However, he thought of the particularity of this mission and the instructions of his younger brother Shi Feng.
"After arriving on the island, Big Brother must obey Miss Ye completely, even if there are doubts."
Although it sounds domineering and unreasonable, his brother has experienced too many dangers in the special department to get to where he is today, so he still chooses to believe the other party.
So when Ye Lan didn't express any opinion, Shi Zhong just responded silently, "Yes."
Then load the bullets and be ready to meet the enemy at any time.
Xiao Yunting ordered them to split into four groups to encircle the periphery, and then gradually move towards the center to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.
Wu Xingjie and Wu Heng served as the vanguard, each leading two teams, and they quickly dispersed and acted.
When Xiao Yunting and Ye Lan were the only ones left on the shore, they strolled into the flourishing peach forest in the middle.
"It's this month, and the peach blossoms are still blooming. The soil here is really special." Xiao Yunting reached out and brushed away the petals on his shoulders. Seeing a little fine powder on his clothes, a hint of displeasure flashed across his deep eyes.
Ye Lan couldn't help but chuckle when he heard that. He turned around and looked at him and said, "You must be doing very well in biology."
Otherwise, it would be impossible to see at a glance why Wu Xingjie chose this place as Peach Blossom Island.
"It's better than the others." Xiao Yunting followed her words and talked about the past, "but I didn't go to college."
Um?
Hearing the latter part, Ye Lan was quite surprised. She paused in pluck- ing the peach branch, her eyes falling on him as she said, "I thought you were at least a graduate of Seer Rose University."
At least.
Others might say this as a compliment, but Ye Lan meant it sincerely.
Therefore, Xiao Yunting's lips inevitably curled up, and he simply explained, "Something happened at that time."
At that time, he had no way to go to university to study properly, and later he was even more overwhelmed with work. Step by step to today, he has long forgotten the memory of growing up like an ordinary person.
"Hmm." Ye Lan didn't press further. Everyone has pasts they don't want to discuss. She believed Xiao Yunting wouldn't hide anything if she spoke up, but there was no need. So she broke off a peach branch and handed it over, saying, "That person was right. This is indeed the Penglai Fairy Island that Qin Shi Huang dreamed of. The soil here naturally possesses medicinal properties, and anything planted here will have its effects amplified hundreds of times."
That is why these peach blossoms bloom here all year round.
Xiao Yunting took the broken end and looked at it, and found that a layer of mucus was flowing out of it, with a faint fragrance. When he smelled it, he felt an inexplicable heat rising in his body.
He frowned slightly, mobilized the energy in his body, and used his internal strength to suppress the effect of the medicine. When he looked at the girl again, his expression was somewhat helpless, "You did it on purpose."
Ye Lan couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Friendly reminder, don't sniff anything easily in the pharmacist's territory. Each peach tree here uses a different potency as fertilizer, so the potency varies. Some are even highly toxic, but for ancient warriors, they are not very harmful."
As long as you mobilize your internal energy to relieve the discomfort the moment you notice something wrong with your body, you can suppress it.
