Chapter 58

The moonlight was sparkling and everything was extremely quiet. The inn was shrouded in darkness, with only two lanterns at the door still emitting a faint light.

The window on the second floor opened a crack at some point, and a figure seemed to pass through the yard, and then merged into the darkness in an instant.

The appearance of the trees in the darkness no longer looked so ideal. The swaying branches seemed like demons taking off their disguises. Deep in the forest, the bonfire that was originally burning now had only a few sparks left.

Late at night, any sound would be infinitely amplified. Ying Qi, who was sitting by the campfire, quickly woke up. After seeing who the person was, the vigilance in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

"Sir."

Ying Qi knelt on one knee, and the other party's identity became clear instantly.

Yan Yu lowered his eyes and looked at Ying Qi for a while, "Wake up, how is the investigation going?"

Ying Qi didn't answer immediately after getting up. Seeing his entanglement, Yan Yu seemed to chuckle lightly, with indifference in his eyes.

Seeing Ying Qi like this, Yan Yu was more certain of his answer. He said coldly, "Your hand is so long, so just chop it off."

"yes."

Ying Qi responded without any hesitation. Anyone who dared to hurt the young master deserved to die. His hesitation just now was only because he was worried that the young master would know who that person was and would not be able to bear it. Now that the young master had spoken, he would not be merciful. Thinking of this, a trace of bloodthirsty murderous intent flashed in Ying Qi's eyes, which was very different from his usual appearance.

The surroundings were quiet, and the little spark that was left was about to go out. Seeing that the young master was about to leave, Ying Qi hesitated and finally said, "Young master, I have been out for a long time... You..."

"No need to say more about this matter. I have my own plans." Yan Yu guessed what Ying Qi was going to say. He interrupted him directly and without waiting for his response, he turned and walked into the woods, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

It was quiet all around. There were not many stars tonight, which made the night seem a little darker.

Yan Yu already had a guess in his mind about who had attacked him, but after getting a positive answer, he couldn't help but sigh that there really were such stupid people in this world. One must be extremely stupid to do business with those who practiced witchcraft.

He has invited a wolf into the house literally. I'm afraid his good brother is still feeling smug and not thinking about why that barbarian from the south is so "kind-hearted".

Those who collude with foreign races should be punished.

There was a faint smell of sea water in the air, and the smell became stronger as we went deeper.

"Wow! Shuangbei, look!" Ye Yunhao pointed at the crab in the wooden basin beside him in an exaggerated manner, "It's so big!"

It's no wonder he is like that. For people who don't make a living by the sea, everything here is very attractive.

The old man at the side smiled and enthusiastically promoted: "This is freshly caught this morning, still fresh."

Although Ye Yunhao was also very satisfied with the big crab, he had to hurry on his way, so he had to look at the crab with regret. This look made Shuang Bei and Mu Mengxi beside him smile a little.

Mu Mengxi's condition has improved a lot. From being absent-minded at the beginning to being able to make a few jokes now, it seems that everything is developing in the right direction. The young man's mind has become calm after being polished and carved, but the process is extremely painful.

The three of them walked through the market and saw a lot of new things along the way. Of course, Ye Xiaogou was particularly happy.

Under the leadership of Mu Mengxi, they soon arrived near a fishing boat on the coast.

The people beside the fishing boat were about to step forward when they saw the three people approaching, but after seeing them clearly, they immediately shouted excitedly: "Senior Brother Mu, you are finally back!" Then they threw themselves into Mu Mengxi's arms without caring about anything else.

The boy seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. He was not very tall, with fair skin and a bit of baby fat on his face. When he was casually acting coquettish with Mu Mengxi, his eyes were as lively as a deer, but now, these lively eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist.

Mu Mengxi finally managed to comfort the other person, and when she looked up, she met Shuang Bei's half-smile.

"This is my junior sister, Mu Ruoyan." Perhaps because of the teasing in Shuangbei's eyes, Mu Mengxi, who had been calm all the way, now had a little more spirit that a man of his age should have. He immediately introduced his junior sister to the two of them.

This Junior Sister Mu was also a straightforward person. After she had sorted out her emotions, before her Senior Brother could introduce them, she spoke: "I guess this is Young Hero Ye, and the one next to him is Young Hero Shuang. Ruoyan would like to thank you both for helping me."

"Junior Sister Mu, there's no need to be so polite. I wonder how you recognized the two of us." Ye Yunhao looked at Mu Ruoyan with curiosity.

Mu Ruoyan smiled without explaining, with a hint of cunning in her eyes, but Ye Yunhao didn't dwell on it. He was more curious about the fact that she was dressed in men's clothes. He didn't realize she was a woman at first.

Ye Yunhao couldn't keep the truth secret, so he just asked.

"Of course, I often sneaked out of the island when I was nine years old, so cross-dressing is no problem at all." With Ye Yunhao's support, Mu Ruoyan quickly told him everything.

Mu Mengxi shook her head helplessly and coughed twice.

At this moment, Mu Ruoyan also realized that she had talked too much, and looked at her senior brother with a bit of flattery.

Mu Mengxi curled his lips and looked at Shuangbei and the others. "You must have been traveling so hard. Please follow me to the island to recuperate and rest."

As the name suggests, the shape of the island is very similar to the Seven Stars of the North Star in the sky, hence the name.

The island is accessible by boat, and the protection of Chising Island protects the surrounding fishermen from pirates. This makes the nearby residents particularly awed by Chising Island, and they also hope that their talented children can go to Chising Island to learn skills.

Several people sat in a small boat and sailed into the sea. Ye Yunhao stretched his hand into the sea water, feeling the breath of the sea.
