"But I didn't expect that there is someone else besides Lingyu, and you are even more abnormal than Lingyu. With a physique of only 19 years old, you have already broken through to the Mahayana stage. Xiyue, are you a human or a monster?"
Thinking of the scene where Song Zhen beat his chest and cursed, Xi Yue curled up the corners of her mouth into a faint smile.
Ling Yu probably knew where Xi Yue heard her name from, and she also smiled.
The two of them approached slowly, and then asked almost in unison: "Why did you appear on Wenqing Island?"
The two of them were stunned for a moment, then they answered, once again in unison.
"Because there's something strange about Wenqing Island!"
The two looked at each other for a long time without speaking, and then they burst out laughing at the same time, looking indescribably casual and free-spirited.
These two people clearly met for the first time, but they always felt like they had known each other for a long time.
Perhaps it is because the two people have many similar free and easy, persistent and resolute qualities in their bones, so they are not strangers even when they meet for the first time.
This was the first time Xiyue had such a feeling, and there had never been anyone who made the word "confidant" naturally come to her mind.
All the people she was close to and trusted were accepted as friends only after a long period of time.
But the girl in front of her named Lingyu made her feel inexplicably familiar at the first sight.
This feeling is wonderful, but Xiyue does not reject it.
Ling Yu also had countless good things for this famous girl, such as the wood origin in her body, her superb medical skills, her courage to pass six levels of the Hall of Life and Death in one day; her bravery and heroism in the bloody battle in Tianyi Valley, all of which made her yearn for and admire her.
Now that she actually meets the person, even if it's just a simple conversation, she feels like she met him too late.
Therefore, Ling Yu naturally stopped using honorifics to distance the two people, and did not make more polite remarks. Instead, he got straight to the point. "One of my two junior sisters disappeared on Wenqing Island, and the other also disappeared on the way to leave the island. I felt that something was fishy, so I came back to investigate secretly."
"How did he disappear?"
Lingyu nodded, frowned slightly and recounted what happened a few days ago.
"We came to the Wuji Sea to look for a spiritual medicine. Flying on a sword consumes too much spiritual energy, and the accompanying doctor, Sister Lianyi, is not at a high enough level to bear the spiritual energy consumption of flying for a long time, so we used a flying boat to sail on the sea."
"We were attacked by a black dragon when we first entered the Far East Sea. The flying boat broke apart and we almost died in the sea. Fortunately, the black dragon was just playing a trick on us and didn't want to kill us, so we escaped. But the flying boat couldn't sail for a long time and encountered a storm, so we happened to land on Wenqing Island to rest."
"When I first landed on Wenqing Island, I felt like it was a paradise, with beautiful scenery, fresh air, and honest islanders. My fellow apprentices also thought this was a very beautiful place, and they were extremely relaxed both physically and mentally, and even forgot the most basic precautions."
When Ling Yu said this, he frowned slightly, looked in the direction of the town in the center of the island, and then slowly said: "Perhaps it is because the people on this island, whether they are civilians or guards, have too low cultivation. Even the high-level guards are only in the Jindan stage. In the eyes of us cultivators, warriors like them are completely harmless, so we slowly lower our vigilance." (To be continued)
