Chapter 61

The long sound of the bell echoed in my ears, the deep sound of the bell carried an imperceptible sense of fate, just like a river that will eventually flow into the sea, everything is the result of fate.

“Crunch.”

With the sound of the door opening, Shuang Bei ran into Ye Yunhao who also came out.

Ye Yunhao had never expected to meet Shuang Bei so suddenly. Before he could think of what to say, after looking into the other's eyes, he understood what Shuang Bei meant. So after a simple eye contact, he decided to find the source of the sound in two days.

The air on the island was filled with the scent of the sea. Shuang Bei and Ye Yunhao walked side by side on the cobblestone path, and they both talked about what happened last night in tacit understanding.

In fact, Ye Yunhao didn't even dare to look up at the other person. He didn't sleep well that night. Until dawn, he still couldn't believe that he had forced his way into the other person's room, closed the window like an old mother, and told the other person to rest. His movements were skillful, as if it was supposed to be like this.

In fact, he could regard his actions last night as a normal thing to do to care about a friend. He confided in her after drinking, taught her swordplay in the woods, and accompanied her along the way. They should be friends...

But the definition of friend is so broad that Ye Yunhao worried that his rash and self-assertive behavior yesterday would push the other party further away, just like he was not sure whether the coughing sound he no longer heard last night was because the other party lowered his voice and didn't want him to hear it again, or because his body was really relieved.

So after Ye Yunhao left Shuang Bei's room, he wanted to turn into a screaming chicken and punch himself twice, but he only disturbed the other party, so he had to dance at the air, completely unable to understand why he suddenly became so bold.

Shuang Bei had no idea that the person next to him was so busy. He was silent all the way and thought that Ye Yunhao was attracted by the sound of the bell. The air on the island was so fresh that he unconsciously took a few more breaths.

“Boom…”

Shuangbei stopped and heard the sound of the ancient bell on the stone platform echoing. His memory was still pretty good. The Seven Star Island disciples he saw yesterday had blue headbands on their heads, but now they had been changed to white. Looking at the sad faces of the Seven Star Island disciples, he understood everything.

A disciple on the stone platform was ringing a bell, and next to him was the head of the Seven Star Island whom the two had met yesterday. In addition, there were two men and one woman next to Headmaster Shen. Judging from their clothes and demeanor, they should be the three elders of the Seven Star Island that Mu Ruoyan mentioned.

As the last bell rang, a man slowly walked out from the crowd of disciples, holding something in his hand. He stepped onto the stone platform and stopped in front of the master.

That person was none other than Mu Mengxi. The sect leader took the item from his hand and, under the gaze of many disciples, placed it on the raft that had been prepared long ago. He then drew out his sword and cut the vines entangled on one side of the raft with one stroke.

The sword was very light, carrying with it the rustle of autumn. Some of the disciples could no longer stop crying as they watched the raft drift away with the waves.

"The raft is tied very loosely. It won't be long before everything sinks into the sea." Mu Ruoyan came to Shuang Bei and the others without knowing when. She looked at the sea with an incomprehensible look in her eyes. "When a whale falls, everything comes to life. Most of the disciples of Qixing Island were born by the sea and live by the sea, so they will choose to return to the sea after death."

Ye Yunhao didn't know what to say for a moment, while Shuangbei looked at the sea and slowly uttered two words, "My condolences."

The two people's comforting skills were not very good, but Mu Ruoyan smiled. Her eyes brightened a little when she looked at the sea. "The sea is spiritual. Even a small handful of soil will guide the senior sisters and brothers back home."

Shen Qiulin watched the raft drifting with the waves until it completely disappeared from his sight. At this moment, he held a sword in his hand and faced the many disciples below the stage. The waves suddenly grew larger and hit the rocks like a mournful cry.

Shen Qiulin had a stern expression, his clothes rustling in the sea breeze, and he shouted, "Seven Star Island Sect Leader Shen Qiulin, I swear by the sea that I will avenge this."

"Qixingdao elder Guo Zhe swears by the sea that he will avenge this."

"Mu Mengxi, a disciple of Qixing Island, swears by the sea that he will avenge this."

“........”

At this moment, all the disciples of Qixing Island responded loudly.

Mu Ruoyan was the same. Her eyes were red after she shouted. After calming down, she looked at Shuang Bei and Ye Yunhao. "I went to the guest room but didn't find you two. I guessed that you two had come here following the sound. The return ceremony is over. Please follow me. The head and the three elders still have something to discuss with you two young knights."

Listening to Mu Ruoyan's words, Ye Yunhao mustered up the courage to look at Shuang Bei. The other party's expression was indifferent, and he could not read anything from it. He only saw the other party nodded and said: "Okay, please lead the way, Miss Mu."

After Shuang Bei and Ye Yunhao entered the house, they saw Master Shen, three elders, and Mu Mengxi and the other four.

"Please take a seat, young knights." Shen Qiulin said, "I invited you two here today mainly to ask you to tell me what happened when you rescued Meng Xi that day."

Ye Yunhao glanced at Shuang Bei who was standing beside him, and seeing that the other party had no intention of speaking, he began to tell what happened that day.

"That day, Shuangbei and I......"
