Chapter 33: The Secret Covenant

The night rain was hazy, and Gan Ningyuan stood alone on the shore under the cliff, looking at the boat that had disappeared from sight.

He could have left with Fengxing Shitai and his party, but he didn't, because he still had to find out the whereabouts of Master Sun Boyao, and it would be much safer to leave Shuangji Island, but he was not ungrateful.

"It turns out that Brother Gan is still hiding such an amazing secret!" With the sound of rain, this sound made Gan Ningyuan's heart froze, and he turned around suddenly, showing some murderous intent in his eyes.

It was Xu Jinghai who spoke, he didn't know when he appeared here, judging from his words, he should have seen all the scenes of Gan Ningyuan saving people.

"Brother Gan doesn't have to be in a hurry to turn his face, everyone will have some secrets, don't worry, today's events, Wu will not mention a word. Xu Jinghai seemed to sense Gan Ningyuan's murderous intent, but he didn't care, but said.

"Will you help me?" asked Gan Ningyuan after a pause.

"Yes!"

"Why?" Gan Ningyuan continued to ask.

"These days, I have seen that the swordsmanship used by Brother Gan originated from the Jingyue Gate, and there is also a set of palm techniques, I think it is the martial arts of the Xuanyin Sect!"

On weekdays, Xu Jinghai seems to get along well with Gan Ningyuan, but he didn't expect that he had done so much homework behind his back.

"Xuanyin Sect's palm technique?" Gan Ningyuan was not very clear about his palm technique, but what the other party said at this time solved some doubts in his heart.

"It seems that I can't hide anything from you, what conditions do you have?" Gan Ningyuan asked simply, now that he has the handle in the other party's hands, there is no need to beat around the bush.

"What Brother Gan said, the two of us are now in the same group, if something happens to you, what good will it do me?" Xu Jinghai snorted, and then said with a smile.

"It's almost dawn, you better collect the long rope of the cliff first!" Xu Jinghai ignored Gan Ningyuan's doubts, reminded him and turned to leave.

Gan Ningyuan directly wrapped the long rope around a big stone and sank deep underwater, which can be regarded as destroying the evidence.

All the way back to the courtyard, changed into soaked clothes, and sat at the stone table, Gan Ningyuan frowned. He really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Xu Jinghai was selling in the gourd! You know, the other party never said a word threatening him from beginning to end, but since that was the case, why did Xu Jinghai show up? Wouldn't it be better to leave quietly?

A series of doubts made Gan Ningyuan feel uneasy, and he felt that this matter was far from this.

At this point, it was useless to think about it, and Gan Ningyuan's top priority was to try to find the whereabouts of his master.

After a sleepless night, Gan Ningyuan simply fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already afternoon, which was different from what he expected, the rescue of the people from Jingyue Gate by the Wind Walker did not cause a big fluctuation on Shuangji Island, and even the news did not come out, but Gan Ningyuan did not think that this matter could be stopped, although it was calm on the surface, it must be strictly investigated underneath.

......

Six days have passed in a flash, Gan Ningyuan was panicked at first, but now he is a lot more relieved, Xu Jinghai did not break his promise, indeed did not reveal a word, Gan Ningyuan practiced hard except for occasionally going out, especially the internal strength cultivation method given to him by Sun Boyao, which benefited him a lot, in addition, he also practiced bipolar gong in his spare time.

In this way, another half a year passed, during which there were several sneak attacks by masters on Shuangji Island, but they all ended in failure.

Gan Ning was far from deliberately inquiring about these news, but got some speculation from hearsay in the market, and those who attacked were likely to be people from the Xuanyin Sect.

In recent days, another news has come out, which has made Shuangji Island quite lively.

It turned out that Zhong Lingyan was going to marry Peng Feng, the only son of Peng Wenhong, the second hall master, and this Peng Feng Ganning also had a relationship, and it was the ugly young man who took them to the stone prison after being caught on the island that day.

As far as Gan Ningyuan knows, Zhong Lingyan has never agreed to his father Zhong Zheng, but he hasn't seen him for a few months, but I don't know if Zhong Lingyan agreed.

Gan Ningyuan didn't have any special feelings about Zhong Lingyan's marriage, but he felt a little pity, Peng Feng was the most vicious and vicious, and his appearance was ugly.

Although Zhong Lingyan has some eccentric personalities, she and Gan Ningyuan can be regarded as ordinary friends.

Seeing that the day was approaching, the islands of the third hall master Zhong Zheng and the hall master Peng Wenhong began to be opened, Gan Ningyuan and Xu Jinghai were only occasionally sent out to buy some daily necessities, and they were extremely happy for this kind of small errand.

However, Gan Ningyuan found that Xu Jinghai often went out alone these days, and he was gone for half a day.

"Looks like this guy has a ghost in his heart. Gan Ning was far from choosing to follow him, lest the two of them get into trouble.

On this day, after Gan Ningyuan finished practicing, it was already evening, and with a whoosh, a small dart broke through the window and was firmly nailed to the wood on the side of the bed.

Gan Ningyuan was startled at first, and then found that there was a ball of paper with words written on the little dart.

When I opened it, I saw that it was written: Sanguan, come to the shore of Fengyun Island and tell you the news you want.

Seeing this, Gan Ningyuan was so surprised that he couldn't speak, he wanted to inquire about Master Sun Boyao's affairs and did not disclose it to anyone.

"Could it be Xu Jinghai?"

Gan Ningyuan's first thought was him, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible, if it was Xu Jinghai, why should he ask him to meet him on Fengyun Island. After all, Fengyun Island is a small island in Pengfeng, and the area of the island is very small, so it is easy to be discovered.

Thinking about it and not getting a result, Gan Ningyuan began to hesitate in his heart, and he was in a dilemma at this time. If it is a trap, it will be self-defeating, but if that person really knows Sun Boyao's whereabouts, even if he takes some risks, it is acceptable.

In the end, Gan Ningyuan still decided to take a risk, after all, he didn't find out the whereabouts of Sun Boyao for several months.

Taking advantage of the night, Gan Ningyuan rowed alone to Fengyun Island, and at this time, the wind was strong, blowing his clothes with a bang.

When he got off the boat and went ashore, there was no one in sight, only the big house in the center of the island was lit up, which was where Peng Feng lived.

After waiting for nearly a pillar of incense, the third watch had passed, and Gan Ning still didn't see anyone coming, so he planned to turn around and leave.

Just as he was about to leave, a figure walked out from behind the big rock not far away, and when he looked closely, it was Zhong Lingyan.

Seeing that it was Zhong Lingyan, Gan Ningyuan's heart was slightly relieved, but his doubts did not decrease.

"How could it be you?" asked Gan Ningyuan.

"What? Who do you think it is?" Zhong Lingyan asked rhetorically, compared to a few months ago, Zhong Lingyan was much thinner, and her face was full of haggardness.

"Miss Zhong, I don't know what you're looking for me?" Gan Ningyuan asked again.

"Do you want to know the whereabouts of that old man?" Zhong Lingyan said in surprise, if it weren't for the hazy night, Gan Ningyuan's surprised look would have been seen by her.

"Old man?" Gan Ningyuan didn't dare to admit it directly, but asked rhetorically.

"It's the old man who lived with you in a bamboo hut by the lake a few months ago!" Zhong Lingyan reminded.

"Oh, Miss Zhong knows his whereabouts?" Gan Ningyuan tried to make his tone as relaxed as possible.

"Yes, I know where he is, but you have to do something for me before I can tell you!" Zhong Lingyan was also thoughtful, she concluded that Gan Ningyuan and Sun Boyao had an unusual relationship.

Gan Ning was far from answering, showing a thoughtful look.
