Jiang Xue sighed helplessly, it seed that today’s tornt was inevitable. She shouted towards the two stunned people standing there.
"What are you standing there for? Get into the water!"
Jiang Xue took a deep breath and subrged. The others followed suit, and during this ti, they clearly saw their boat moving away uncontrollably, as if soone was steering it. Jiang Xue was anxious and instinctively wanted to swim out, but was held back by Shui Yixuan. When she looked carefully, she was shocked to see five or six black-clad figures standing on their boat, each as light as a swallow with extraordinary Qinggong.
It felt like an eternity before the surroundings cald down. Jiang Xue, at the limit of her breath, took a breath in the space, but couldn’t hold out any longer and was the first to erge, complaining loudly.
"Truly a mysterious island, full of tricks! Now they even took our boat. What do we do now? We haven’t even found the entrance to Xiran Island yet. Swimming back would be impossible!"
"Hmm? The little girl is not simple, knowing about Xiran Island. I’ve guarded this place for over a decade, and this is the first ti I’ve encountered soone who knows the island’s na before landing. Right, my dear?"
Before Shui Yixuan and Murong Han could respond to Jiang Xue, a soft voice echoed not far from them.
"Little girl, you have quite a familiar face. And this boy’s face, strangely familiar too. Who are you both?"
As soon as this resonant male middle voice fell, a man and a woman were brought before them. Strangely, they were stepping on a bamboo as thick as a bowl’s edge, flying over on it. How high must their martial arts be?
Suppressing her inner shock, Jiang Xue gazed intently at the two who seed to have descended from the sky. Due to the thick fog, it was understandable that she couldn’t discern their origin until they ca close, revealing their features.
The man, around forty, wore white clothing that made his figure appear increasingly imposing. His bronze skin, prominent and deep features, looked chiseled and handso. Standing there, he exuded an undeniable presence.
Conversely, the woman’s voice seed old, yet her appearance was young and beautiful, as though in her twenties, young enough to be the man’s daughter. But what they heard was... "old man"?
What kind of magical pairing was this?
The woman wore an elegant white silk dress, her hair simply styled in a bun with a wooden hairpin. Her loose hair danced with the wind, her face devoid of makeup yet still as beautiful as a fairy. Her smile, especially warm, easily engendered goodwill.
Jiang Xue was very curious about their identity, "Who are you?"
The woman giggled, "Little girl, shouldn’t we be asking who you are?"
The man glanced lightly at Shui Yixuan and Murong Han, his eyes lingering on the siblings’ faces, and asked pensively.
"You have already touched our island’s Array. If you don’t want to die, leave quickly!"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xue was not afraid after hearing this but instead asked excitedly, "Is this Xiran Island?"
"What if it is?" The man asked, raising his brow discontentedly.
"It’s nothing. We an no offense, just here to find soone, so forgive our intrusion!" Jiang Xue politely bowed.
"Looking for soone? You’re here on our island looking for soone? Isn’t that a mistake?" The woman scrutinized Jiang Xue with a slight hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Absolutely not a mistake, because I’ve been struck by the unique ’Heart Connection’ of Xiran Island! So do you think I could have co to the wrong place?"
Jiang Xue was straightforward, stating her intention plainly.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the two exchanged glances flashing with surprise. The woman quickly floated to Jiang Xue’s side. Shui Yixuan, seeing this, was about to intercept but was stopped by Murong Han: "It’s okay, she probably wants to see if we are telling the truth!"
The woman looked at Jiang Xue deeply, then lowered her head to carefully check her pulse, feeling the slight disorder, and got her answer.
"Recently relapsed?"
Jiang Xue raised her eyebrow at the words, "Yes, Auntie observes very carefully!"
"Auntie? I can’t bear this title!"
The woman pouted, quickly stepped away, and nodded to the man.
The man saw this and stroked his chin, "Who are you looking for?"
