Chapter 228: You Must Trust Me
In the past few months, a vacant space in the center of the cabin has become a gathering place for big guys to discuss things, and at this time, Ji Zi'an asked Wan Qian Scarlet with a serious face: "Wan Qi Domain Lord, according to your statement, we will probably have two months to reach Linjie Island, right?"
"Well, if nothing else, it should be about the same. Is there any problem?" Wan Qian Scarlet Yi was a little puzzled, what was the big thing that had to call everyone over to ask such a question.
"What islands will we pass through on the rest of the trip, even if it's a desert island. Ji Zi'an asked in a deep voice.
"This ...... I really don't know, but I've only walked this road once, and Master took me to the edge of the Sea of Mists very quickly, so I'm not sure if there are islands on the way. Ji Gongzi asked what is this for?" Wan Qian Scarlet seemed to be a little embarrassed.
Ji Zi'an's face changed slightly, and then he shook his head and sighed: "There is not very good news that I have to tell everyone, when I crossed the Sea of Mist, that is, this ship experienced two huge shocks because of Kun, and the mechanism at the bottom of the ship was greatly affected. Originally, according to my plan, the ship would be able to sail at sea for at least five years without any repairs. But now it seems that we have to find a safe place to dock for a while, and let me fix the mechanism at the bottom of the ship before I can move on. ”
Hearing Ji Zi'an say this, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tighten. Except for Qingci, there was probably no one present who was not afraid of the unknown ocean. Not to mention the water nature, just the mana, with the current state of the six of them, they are not Qingci's opponents, and staying in the sea for a long time is indeed a bit fantastical for them.
"What should we do, if we can't find a place to land, wouldn't it be very dangerous for us?" An Ruyue asked worriedly.
Wan Qian scarlet muttered for a moment, and finally couldn't help but say, "Don't you want to tell the truth now? Who is the one who has Zhenhai's treasure on him, or has the magic power to control the waves and wind and rain?"
Ji Wuxin glanced at her and said coldly, "Isn't it the sea mirror you brought yourself?"
Hearing this, Wan Qian snorted coldly: "If the sea mirror has such power, do I need to ask more?"
"It's true that the sea mirror is not so powerful. Cang Wunian opened his mouth and said, after a pause, he looked at Wan Qian Scarlet with some doubts, "Do you want to know who of us has the treasure of Zhenhai or has such mana, and what does it have to do with Brother Ji's worries?"
Wan Qi's scarlet eyes condensed slightly, and then sighed: "I'm also doing this for everyone's good." With such a powerful treasure or mana, it is normal for people to be reluctant to expose it in front of others. But Ji Gongzi also said that the situation is urgent now, if we don't hurry up to find an island, we may all encounter danger. ”
"You mean, this man who has been able to protect us all the way through the seas has a way to find an island quickly?" asked Hua Chengcheng with some surprise.
"Not bad. Wan Qian scarlet nodded.
"If we can't find a place to dock, how long can this ship sail normally?" asked Qing Ci, who had not spoken for a long time, lightly.
"Seven days at most. Ji Zi'an replied with a serious face.
Eventually, the crowd dispersed with their own thoughts. In a sense, Ji Zi'an's discussion of bringing everyone together did not produce any results, but instead added a worry to the hearts of the other six people who were originally unaware.
This sea area was originally sealed in another space by mana, or in other words, it was originally part of a large-scale formation. Several people are in such a place, although the mana is not limited, but there is no heaven and earth aura to use here, and even a teleportation array cannot be arranged, so they can only use the most primitive method to sail all the way. If the ship was broken, they would have lasted longer than ordinary mortals.
It was night, the sea was calm, the night sky was full of stars, and the people on the ship had already returned to their rooms.
Qing Ci quietly used his mana to carefully probe the entire ship in his room, and after making sure that everyone was asleep, he flashed his figure and came to the bow of the ship.
There was almost no pause, and his body instantly brought a pale blue light, and he jumped into the sea. What is very amazing is that he plunged down like a pebble into the sea, only stirring up a slight splash, and almost did not make a sound.
Qing Ci's mana flowed, swimming in the water at an unimaginable speed. The reason why he swam so fast was because he knew that in this sea area that had been imprinted with mana, if the rest of the people on the ship were in danger except for him, the chances of surviving in the end were very low. So he had to find a place to land as soon as possible, as Ji Zi'an said, even if it was a desert island.
Perhaps it was providence that Qing Ci didn't look for too long, and a small island appeared in front of him. Such a distance is roughly estimated by Qing Ci, and it may barely be able to reach it in seven days. If there is really an accident at that time, I am afraid that he will have to reveal his identity.
After finding the target, Qing Ci quickly turned around and returned the same way. But when he walked to the door of his room, soaked, he saw that there was already someone waiting for him.
"Ruyue, why are you here?" Qing Ci was shocked and asked subconsciously.
An Ruyue just pursed her lips and looked back and forth on his body with very complicated eyes, rubbing the corners of her clothes unconsciously with her hands, as if she wanted to ease her emotions in this way.
Qing Ci exhaled deeply, grabbed her hand, and dodged her into the room.
After carefully closing the door, Qing Ci whispered a little angrily, "What are you doing at the door of my room in the middle of the night?"
An Ruyue's eyes darkened slightly, as if she had struggled for a while before raising her head to look at him directly, with a slight tremor in her voice: "Qingci, who are you?
Qing Ci's face froze, then he raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek, and said softly: "In short, as long as you believe me, I will not harm you, nor will I harm the Pavilion Lord and Miss Allure." ”
"Do you have something unspeakable, or do you have any bitterness? Since you won't harm us, why are you unwilling to confess your identity to us?" An Ruyue's eyes were full of heartache and unconcealable suspicion, which made Qing Ci feel uncomfortable and very uncomfortable.
Qing Ci's heart tightened, originally his identity was not an ulterior matter, but what happened later subverted his original plan, and now he has to hide it. If you say it now, I'm afraid that An Ruyue will be cranky and will doubt him even more. If you miss a big thing because of this, it will really outweigh the loss.
"I have my reasons, Ruyue, don't force me, you can want to know anything, but this one can't. Someday you'll know, but not now, you have to trust me. Qing Ci stared at her misty eyes and said with a very resolute attitude.
"I have to believe you......" An Ruyue muttered, and then her expression was a little wooden and she put her head close to Qing Ci's arms, and in the blink of her eyes, tears fell, "Qing Ci, you must not let me down, otherwise I will never forgive you in my life." ”
Qing Ci's brows were tightly tangled together, and his arms subconsciously hugged An Ruyue, and at this moment he suddenly became a little uneasy. Although he never thought that he would be an inattentive man, even if he was single-minded, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would not hurt An Ruyue.
Before, he only had a little affection for her, but these days, he deliberately contacted her, let himself care about her, love her, he didn't expect that his feelings for her had some deep feelings unconsciously.
When he realized that he had gradually begun to fall in love with this woman, he regretted it a little - it turned out that there was a person in his heart, and he was unwilling to hurt her in the slightest no matter what, even if it was a last resort.
"Ruyue, I can't promise you much now, but I want you to remember that you are a very important person in my life, and a very special person. No matter what happens in the future, please believe me, if you don't believe me, I'm afraid no one in this world will understand me anymore. Qing Ci buried her head in her neck and shoulders, and her tone was full of attachment and reluctance. There was a faint bad premonition in his heart, maybe the future of him and An Ruyue would not be as complete as he imagined.
Early the next morning, when the other people found An Ruyue and Qing Ci coming out of the same room, they all tacitly cast meaningful glances at them.
"Elder Qingci is really a blessing, but I don't know if Scarlet Yi will be lucky enough to drink the happy wine of the two elders. Wan Qian Scarlet Yi is probably the one who is most interested in this matter in the scene, no matter what, these two are Cang Wunian's henchmen, befriending them, she can also get closer to Cang Wunian.
Ji Zi'an stared at the two of them with interest, and said leisurely: "I want to wait for us to survive this catastrophe safely, I'm afraid this happy wine won't be able to run away." ”
Cang Wunian frowned slightly, but did not speak. And Hua Chengcheng pulled An Ruyue aside and asked in a low voice, "Sister Ruyue, you and Qing Ci...... You shouldn't ......?"
It's only strange that the two of them came out of the same room early in the morning and caused a preconceived misguidance to the rest of the people, if they take a closer look, it is not difficult to see that An Ruyue's face has the slightest shyness and demeanor of experiencing the affairs of men and women for the first time, and her face is clearly only full of exhaustion and uneasiness.
