Shen Ci looked at Sheng He's back and finally reacted. He pointed at Sheng He's back and shouted, "Were you scolding me just now?"

"Come back here! If you have the guts, curse me again in front of me!"

Everyone was afraid that they would fight on the boat, so they quickly stopped Shen Ci who was about to rush forward.

Sheng He scratched his ears, stopped, turned around, and looked at Shen Ci with confusion.

"My fellow Taoist, what are you talking about? Did I scold you just now? Why don't I remember it?"

"you!"

Sheng He looked at Shen Ci with a smile: "But I can fulfill your wish just now."

"Fellow Taoists, bear witness. I did not mean that. This fellow Taoist said it himself. He wanted me to scold him in order to promote friendly relations between the two sects."

Sheng He said word by word: "Stupid! Lack!"

“You! You!”

"You are the idiot!"

Shen Ci pointed at Sheng He, his fingers shaking with anger, but this was on the Jiang family's boat after all, and there were people trying to stop them. Shen Ci watched Sheng He shrug his shoulders and walk into the cabin with an indifferent look on his face.

"Sheng He! You are the idiot! Your whole family is idiots! You rely on the favor of the sect leader to act lawlessly. Once we get to the island, I... I..."

Sheng He had already entered the cabin, but when he heard this he stuck his head out again.

"You what? Are you going to kill me?"

Sheng He covered his chest in fear and looked at everyone present for help: "Dear fellow Taoists, you have heard it all. This fellow Taoist said he wanted to kill me. If anything happens to me after I get to the island, please go to Qingyun Sect and take charge of it for me!"

"you!"

Shen Ci pointed at Sheng He and was so angry that he took a few steps back and leaned against the side of the boat. His chest heaved violently and he couldn't utter a word.

Everyone looked at Shen Ci, who was so angry that he fell backwards, and then looked at Sheng He.

"Well, I haven't practiced yet today, so I'll take my leave now."

"Hey, why do I feel a little cold? Is it because the wind is too strong at sea? I'll go in and put on some more clothes first."

"Yes, yes. I feel a little cold too. Come on, lend me a piece of clothing and we can go together."

"Hey, wait for me."

"I'll go too, I'll go too."

In just a moment, everyone on the deck had left.

Sheng He raised his eyebrows at Shen Ci, turned around and entered the cabin.

For a moment, Shen Ci and Zhao Yanran were the only ones left on the empty deck.

Zhao Yanran was about to say something but stopped herself. She bit her lip and walked forward to gently help Shen Ci up.

"Brother, why do you have to confront Senior Sister Sheng? Senior Sister Sheng...she has always been like this."

Shen Ci panted heavily: "Is it always like this? She dared to talk to me like this today, and I don't know how she bullies you on weekdays!"

"Don't worry, Junior Sister Yanran. Once we get to the island, I will teach her a lesson so that she will never dare to be so arrogant again!"

"But she just said it in front of everyone..."

"What are you afraid of!" Shen Ci's eyes flashed with viciousness. "At most, I can spare her life. My Wuji Sect is not something that can be bullied by anyone! Even if I hand her over to the Sect Master, I am not afraid!"

Zhao Yanran lowered her eyelashes, a dark color flashed in her eyes, and the next moment, she wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes and said gratefully:

"Thank you, Senior Brother Shen. It's great to have you."

…

Thinking of Shen Ci's humiliated look, Sheng He's mood inexplicably improved a lot.

The ship was very large, with three floors of rest cabins alone. Sheng He didn't want to run into those disciples, so he walked around the cabin and came out again.

There was no one on the deck, and except for the occasional sound of the wind, no other sound could be heard on the calm sea.

Sheng He lay on the deck, watching the sun setting in the distance, while his mind was constantly sorting out the memories of his past life.

She remembered that there seemed to be no mermaids and Dragon Island in her previous life. Zhao Yanran relied on suppressing her to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Later, seeing that she successfully formed a pill and obtained the gold stone that could refine the golden spiritual root, Zhao Yanran might be dissatisfied and instigated her fellow disciples to kill her on the Xiaoxiang Terrace.

In her previous life, she had even less interaction with Jiang Xuanli. She only heard that the young master of Wanbao Auction House was a powerful figure who single-handedly supported the entire Jiang family. Unfortunately, he had a short life and died suddenly before he was 200 years old, leaving behind only an only son who was only in his teens and a huge fortune.

He died suddenly before he was 200 years old...

Sheng He murmured softly, and suddenly sat up from the deck.

Isn't that... this year?

Why is Jiang Xuanli hanging out with Zhao Yanran?

Why did Dragon Island suddenly appear at this time?

Why did Jiang Xuanli die suddenly, and why did Zhao Yanran come to the Eastern Sea?

Also, who is the cultivator that A Yuan mentioned who was hunting down the mermaid clan?

Sheng He looked at the sea level in the distance, and suddenly felt uneasy. She had a vague feeling that Jiang Xuanli invited these disciples to Dragon Island not for the treasure on Dragon Island, but there must be a huge conspiracy behind it.

What about Zhao Yanran? Is she also part of this plan?

still……

“Help!”

A very faint cry for help came from the cockpit, interrupting Sheng He's thoughts. Sheng He frowned. The voice did not seem to come from the monks on the ship. When she wanted to carefully identify the direction from which the voice came, the voice suddenly disappeared.

There was a sound of footsteps, and two helmsmen came out of the cockpit, walked around the deck, and went back muttering.

"I told you there was no one there, but you insisted on coming up. There are barriers in the cabins, and these monks can't hear the sounds outside."

"I know, I know. Isn't this just for peace of mind? Go back quickly and don't let anyone see you. The master is still hungry!"

"Yes, let's go!"

The voices of the two gradually disappeared, and Sheng He flipped over the side of the boat. She thought for a moment, took out the concealment bead from the storage ring, and followed quietly.

Jiang Xuanli had said when he first boarded the ship that the two upper cabins were for disciples to rest. Because there were so many people on board and the Jiang family brought many servants, the lowest cabin was a place for the helmsman and the Jiang family's servants to rest.

Sheng He followed the two servants to the cabin on the lowest level. It was very quiet here. The doors of each cabin were closed. After passing through a long and narrow corridor, there was an unlocked room at the end.

The two servants walked straight in. There was nothing in the room except the four walls. One of the servants lightly stepped on the wooden board at the corner, and a door immediately appeared on the wall.

The door opened, revealing a long staircase leading directly to the cockpit. The sound of knife sharpening and screams could be faintly heard.

"Hey, hurry up!"

The two servants pushed each other down the stairs. The spiritual energy fluctuations of the barrier came from inside the door. Sheng He did not dare to rush in rashly, so he had to wait quietly outside the door.
