Chapter 1045 - 1045 1031 Nangong Yan Disappeared (15)

Chapter 1045: Chapter 1031: Nangong Yan Disappeared (15) Chapter 1045: Chapter 1031: Nangong Yan Disappeared (15) It had become light.

Nangong Yan had spent an anxious night waiting, because yesterday was the 21st, and she had sent Qi Xue out to gather information. Qi Xue told her that Si Nanyu had been blown up, but that Ouyang Yue had been rescued.

Yet, she hadn’t seen Ouyang Yue all night, which worried her greatly. She knew Ouyang Yue was very fond of Si Nanyu, and such an incident would have surely distressed her. At this moment, all she wanted was to see Ouyang Yue.

But having still not seen her, and also not having seen her father, she didn’t know if something unexpected had occurred, and she became increasingly agitated, jumping around in her urgency.

The fog was thick this morning, and after it became light, she could no longer sleep, pacing in the courtyard.

Qi Xue ran in and said, “Eldest Senior Brother has returned.”

Upon hearing the news, Nangong Yan flew out of the courtyard, only to see Eldest Senior Brother and a few disciples who often followed him, but there was no sign of her father or Ouyang Yue. She blurted out, “Eldest Senior Brother, where is my father? And Sister Ouyang Yue?”

Song Yi replied, “Don’t worry, your father is fine, and so is Sister Ouyang Yue.”

“Then where are they?”

Drawing closer, Song Yi said in a low voice, “Your father has taken Ouyang Yue to look for the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

Nangong Yan could hardly believe it and said, “What, they have both left Sacred Spirit Island?”

Song Yi explained, “Yes, Qiandu Xiang’s men are searching for us everywhere. To be on the safe side, they left Sacred Spirit Island at the fourth watch.”

“What about us?” Nangong Yan still wanted to see Ouyang Yue, but to her surprise, they had already left to search for the Sacred Spirit Stone.

“We’re leaving now, heading back to Immortal Medicine Island.” There were ships available today, all arranged by Nangong Yao, who also said, “Later, Peach Blossom Manor Master will escort us out, and we need to leave as soon as possible, just to be safe.”

“Back to Immortal Medicine Island?”

“Yes, even though Peach Blossom Manor is safe for now, it’s only temporary. Who can guarantee what Qiandu Xiang will do next? Of course, the sooner we leave Sacred Spirit Island, the safer we’ll be.” Song Yi urged Qi Xue to quickly prepare their things, worried that Qiandu Xiang might retaliate against the people of Immortal Medicine Sect.

Nangong Yan gave a cold laugh, unable to believe she was being left behind. She had only just managed to leave Immortal Medicine Island and felt extremely reluctant.

“Let’s go, we must hurry and leave this place. The ship could sail at any moment, and if Qiandu Xiang can’t find your father and Ouyang Yue, he’s likely to come here. If we haven’t left, even though he wouldn’t dare mess around, he might end up troubling Peach Blossom Manor Master directly because of us, and I’m sure you wouldn’t want to see Peach Blossom Manor embroiled in a conflict with Qiandu Xiang because of us.”

Convinced by her senior brother’s logic, Nangong Yan saw Qi Xue quickly joining them with baggage in tow.

Ying Luoxue approached with her entourage, saying, “Yan’er, are you ready?”

“Yes, I’m ready.” Though Nangong Yan felt very dejected, at that moment, she had no choice but to leave first; she didn’t want to cause trouble for Peach Blossom Manor.

Taking advantage of the fog, which had not yet lifted, they hurriedly left Peach Blossom Manor.

Nangong Yan complained, “How could they leave without taking me with them?”

Qi Xue heard and comforted her, “The journey is too dangerous.”

“Heh, had I known, I would’ve stayed with them all along.”

Qi Xue said, “You were nearly caught, and still, you’re not afraid.”

Ying Luoxue led Nangong Yan and the others out through a secret exit, avoiding the main gate for fear of being spotted by Qiandu Xiang’s men, who might have left people to watch.

Feeling it was safe, they continued on their way.

They quickened their pace, heading directly toward the docks.

Nangong Yan asked, “Eldest Senior Brother, the one who saved Ouyang Yue yesterday, was that young man I met the time before among them?”

Song Yi appeared surprised and said, “How did you know that young man would come out to save Ouyang Yue?”

Excited by his reaction, Nangong Yan said, “So he really showed up, didn’t he?”

Song Yi replied, “Yes, but he had his face covered. However, based on his martial arts, I guess one of them was him. At that time, Si Nanyu had been ambushed and the gunpowder he was holding didn’t get thrown, resulting in him getting blown up. We were surrounded at any moment, and just then, he suddenly emerged from behind Baili He.

His timing was perfect. Without his sudden attack, it’s likely we would have had a hard time breaking free. And he kept launching smoke, leading one person as a rear guard, which is how we managed to shake off Qiandu Xiang’s men and escape from the inside.”

Nangong Yan then asked, “Did he go with my father then?”

Song Yi, who had sent Nangong Yao and Ouyang Yue away at the fourth watch, had not seen that young man and said, “No, I didn’t see him; he didn’t go with your father.” In the sky, Song Yi had met that young man because of Nangong Yan and recognized the young man’s martial arts because of the Water Dragon.

“He didn’t go with my father and Ouyang Yue to seek Xiyue Island.”

“He’s not one of ours, why would he go with them?” Song Yi was very curious.

“So after that, you never saw the young man again,” Nangong Yan looked back and wondered if she would ever have the chance to see him again. The only memory she’d leave Sacred Spirit Island with was of him, yet she hadn’t even had the opportunity to say goodbye. It was quite disheartening.

There weren’t many people on the dock, mostly just those who were loading goods.

Suddenly, a ship caught Nangong Yan’s eye. To her surprise, the Wanderlust was still there. Shocked, she wondered if that guy might be on the Wanderlust. It was very likely. What to do?

Song Yi was in a hurry.

Ying Luoxue said, “Don’t worry, this ship is well-hidden. No one will know you’re inside, and we’ll be setting sail soon.”

Song Yi gratefully thanked them, saying, “I really don’t know how to thank you all enough.”

“Hey, don’t mention it. The most important thing is safety. Get aboard quickly,” Ying Luoxue said.

“Okay, when spring warms the flowers, I’ll drink with you again,” Song Yi said.

“Yes, spring will come,” Ying Luoxue turned away.

Song Yi, with the reluctant Nangong Yan, boarded the ship. It was a cargo ship that was still being loaded. Qi Xue asked Nangong Yan with a smile, “What’s up? Seen something interesting?”

“No, just not sure when I’ll come here again.”

Song Yi, leading Nangong Yan and Qi Xue, found their room, then said, “Stay here. I’ll go down to check things out. The ship will depart in half an hour,” and he took some people and left. He needed to find out what kind of people were on the ship and to greet the captain.

Yan’er and Qi Xue stood at the ship’s railing. There wasn’t much wind. Qi Xue, worried they might be seen by Qiandu Xiang’s people, hurriedly said, “Let’s go back inside the cabin.”

Just as she was about to turn around, something caught Nangong Yan’s eye. Wasn’t that Li Mo, who had been with Ye Chen, heading toward Wanderlust with food in hand? She froze in shock.

“What’s wrong?”

Li Mo was Ye Chen’s man, could it be that Ye Chen was still on the Wanderlust? It had to be: “Nothing.”

Nangong Yan was almost certain that Ye Chen must be with Li Mo.

“Come inside, what’s there to see here?”

Nangong Yan said, “Qi Xue, I’m a bit hungry. Could you get me something to eat?”

Qi Xue said, “Wait a moment, alright?”

“I’m really hungry, I didn’t eat anything just now.”

“Okay, wait here for me. I’ll get you something quickly and be right back.” Qi Xue then left.

Seeing Qi Xue walk away, Nangong Yan glanced around. With a determined heart, she wrote a note, went down from the ship, and thought this might be her last chance to see that guy. For some reason, he had captured her heart. She had to get to the Wanderlust, but first, she needed to change her clothes.

Qi Xue returned with food and was instantly dumbfounded. Finding the note left her in a panic, and she went to look for Song Yi.

She handed the note to Song Yi, which simply read: “Qi Xue, don’t worry about me, I’m with Ye Chen. Don’t look for me. We will go find father.”

Song Yi was stunned and asked, “Who is Ye Chen?” Although he had met the young man, he didn’t remember his name.

Qi Xue explained in a hurry, “It’s the young man we met on the Soaring Sky, the one you mentioned on the road just now.”

“Such a worry,” Song Yi said anxiously, “Didn’t I ask you to watch her?”

Qi Xue replied with a sad voice, “Yan’er said she was hungry and asked me to get her something. When I came back, she was gone.”

“Then she must be with that kid.”

“What should we do, should we stay and look for her?” The ship’s horn started to sound.

Song Yi still had the task of returning to Immortal Medicine Island to set up defenses.

Qi Xue said, “That young man’s martial arts skills are very high. He shouldn’t run into any trouble.”

Song Yi said, “This is really reckless,” with a throbbing headache.

Qi Xue said, “I’m going down to find her.”

“Little girl, she won’t learn her lesson without suffering a bit,” Song Yi called out, “Where would you even start looking now?” He was worried that making a big scene in their search might draw Qiandu Xiang’s attention, making things worse. He said, “Don’t look for her, let’s go back to Immortal Medicine Island.”

Qi Xue had already started crying in agitation.

“Stop crying. If she’s really with that young man, she must be safe.” He had sparred with the young man and witnessed his intervention the day before, both of which assured him the young man could protect Yan’er.
