"Outside the island is the area where we live. It's more like the outside world, with hotels, commercial areas, and industrial areas. Even people living here may not know enough about the people on the island and cannot get in touch with the core circle."
"Yeah. I noticed that, too." Qiao Nian agreed with this, looking up at him with bright eyes and saying, "When I checked into the hotel, I saw the reaction of the front desk staff. They were very respectful to Qu Si, but they weren't fearful in their bones... They didn't seem to know Qu Si's identity."
“And the people here are more like normal people.”
"Yes, more like an ordinary person." Ye Wangchuan's eyes gradually turned dark, and he said lightly with a hint of emotion.
The two of them looked at each other at the same time as if they had a tacit understanding, and they both saw caution in each other's eyes.
The island is the home of the Theron family.
There is actually another world hidden here, with a city or even more than one city standing in it, and the people in the city may not know much about the Theron family.
This shows how powerful the Theron family's methods of controlling people's hearts are. They are definitely not the people they have seen before.
"Since this area is divided into the inner and outer islands, the area of this island may be much larger than we previously estimated."
Ye Wangchuan rubbed his eyebrows and frowned slightly.
This is not good news for them.
This is no longer an island, it's closer to a continent!
"The island...maybe that's just their name. This is a continent, the sixth continent independent of the five continents."
Qiao Nian also realized what Ye Wangchuan said.
She placed her left hand on her knee, bent her legs, leaned forward, slightly supported her chin, squinted her eyes, and her brain was quickly thinking about the current situation.
If the island is actually the sixth continent in the world.
Then all the preparations they made before were too trivial.
They wanted to find Qin Si in such a vast place, which was like looking for a needle in a haystack. They could only rely on the other party to "return" Qin Si to them.
Otherwise, the chances of them finding someone on their own are slim.
It's too risky.
Qiao Nian raised her eyelids and looked at Ye Wangchuan: "But judging from the people we met tonight, your family doesn't seem to be planning to return the favor easily. They want to give you a heads-up and try to tame you."
Ye Wangchuan did not comment: "I didn't expect the family to reunite and hug each other. They are not that kind of people, so I am not surprised by what happened tonight."
Qiao Nian held up her chin and said, "Actually... if you two hold each other and cry bitterly, we can get Qin Si back a little bit. Otherwise... you go and be soft and act like a spoiled child?"
Ye Wangchuan glanced at her.
Qiao Nian immediately sat up straight, coughed lightly, and said righteously: "That's definitely not possible!"
"How can I make our Master Ye give in? As your loyal bodyguard, I swear to defend your dignity until my death! We won't give in. Whoever wants to give in can give in."
Ye Wangchuan was gorgeous and charming. He glanced at her with his eyelashes drooping, drawing shadows and light: "Hmm? Will you protect me till death?"
Qiao Nian heard a hint of settling accounts in his last tone, and raised her hand again: "…I remember what I promised you, don't worry, I won't go back on my word."
"You'd better remember." Ye Wangchuan emphasized his tone, not quite believing her.
Qiao Nian looked away, not meeting his gaze. She was also feeling guilty. She coughed dryly again, her eyes wandering around, but she didn't look at him. "Remember, I promised you that I would not act alone and would not take risks. I will do what I promised and I will not forget it."
