Chapter 636: Chapter 636: Unable to Defend Against a Hundred Accusations

Gu Fan continued, "You locked me in the cabin before because this ship was destined to sink to the seabed, nearing that island. You didn’t want me to know."

The two women in ancient eastern attire sighed, "But you escaped and discovered the secret. Someone had warned Lisa about trusting you, but unexpectedly, men cannot be relied upon."

With a helpless look on his face, Gu Fan retorted, "You can’t blame me for this. You locked the door so casually that a few pushes opened it, revealing what I wanted to see, and what you didn’t want me to see."

Seeing Gu Fan’s attitude, both women seemed vexed and started accusing him, "Lisa has been so good to you, she never treated anyone else as well. She trusted you after you promised to help her. She even provided you with room and companionship after your proposal, and yet you cruelly betrayed us."

"I was forced into this situation, I wanted to return to the outside world too," Gu Fan explained. Seeing Lin Xi’s harsh gaze and suspicious tone he added, "What do you mean by ’Lisa provided you with a room and woman’? Who is this woman and what did you do with her?"

Gu Fan hastily explained, "I swear, I did nothing that would betray you. I merely used deception to gain Lisa’s trust."

Lin Xi frowned, critically observing Gu Fan’s expressions, trying to discern if he was lying.

Noticing Lin Xi’s confrontation with Gu Fan and his flustered status, the two women likely deduced their relationship and began to instigate, "You shouldn’t believe men’s lies, second elder sister. We heard the sound of a woman from the room those days, so how could he have not done anything?".

"That was playacting, even if nothing happened those kinds of sounds can still be made," Gu Fan quickly explained but the two women gave him a dismissive look, "Playacting, who are you trying to deceive? It sounded so realistic, it didn’t sound like acting."

Gu Fan was so frustrated, he felt as though he could never clear his name. Seeing Lin Xi looking almost furious, he knew that if he didn’t think of something soon, internal strife was inevitable.

Gu Fan paused and then counter-questioned, "How can you be sure it wasn’t acting? Have any of you been involved in such a situation or heard that kind of sound? As far as I remember, the Shennv Xuanhui has a rule forbidding men. You all were part of that tradition before becoming Wandering Sea Ghosts."

"We..." Both women fell silent, caught off guard. They had no experience in these matters.

"Lin Xi, I swear I have not done anything to betray you. Don’t you trust me? Don’t you know the kind of person I am?" Gu Fan had had enough but faced Lin Xi earnestly.

Lin Xi felt it was wrong to question Gu Fan baselessly. She swiftly changed the subject, "Alright, let’s focus. I want to know what that island is all about."

The two women in eastern gear sighed, "Alright, we’ll tell you, second elder sister. But it’s pointless. Yes, the island is indeed the home of the Wandering Sea Ghosts including Lisa. With just this factor, even if you find it, a fierce battle would be inevitable. And secondly, the island is submerged deep in the ocean. How do you plan to handle that?"

"As long as Qian Qing can find it and acquire the Destiny Stone from the island, there must be a way." Gu Fan confidently answered.

Lin Xi agreed, recalling the scene left by Qian Qing’s use of the final supernatural power, which indeed revealed a strange island slowly moving away. Lin Xi speculated, "If my guess is correct, under certain circumstances, the island can surface."

Listening to this, the two women appeared shocked, seemingly surprised by the depth Lin Xi’s knowledge.

"Indeed, the island submerged under the water does surface now and then, but the timing and location are difficult to determine," the women conceded. Gu Fan looked puzzled, "Isn’t it in the surrounding sea area?"

In response, the women shook their heads, "If only it was that easy. Just go underwater now and see if the island is still there."

"What do you mean, is the island mobile?" Gu Fan sensed a bad feeling, confirmed through the women’s nods, together they replied, "Exactly, the island is mobile under the sea, and predicting when and where it surfaces is very difficult. Qian Qing was just lucky."

"An island that moves underwater?" Gu Fan felt his heart pound, despite having experienced many inexplicable things, this incident still stumped him.

Lin Xi frowned, "Is that all, is there anything else you haven’t mentioned?"

"No more, we didn’t know much as we were mere assistants to Qian Qing," the women revealed all they knew. Lin Xi didn’t want to bother them further, so she issued a friendly warning, "Eldest sister is likely to reach the Triangle Sea area soon. It’s safer if you both hide and avoid running into her, I hope I don’t need to remind you of the potential consequences."

"Thank you, second elder sister. We are grateful for the unreasonable rule you established which still haunts us even after becoming Wandering Sea Ghosts," the women complained, making Lin Xi awkwardly smile, "I was wrong before, but I’ll make it up to you. You were serving the Shennv Xuanhui when you came here and were forced to become the Wandering Sea Ghosts, it wasn’t voluntary, and your situation is different from my planned escape."

"Yes, the circumstances are different. We shouldn’t be placed in the same category as you. You are so vile, you threatened us," The women were angry, with hands on their hips, clearly stating their superiority over Lin Xi.

"I’m sorry to disrupt you, we’ll act as if we never saw each other," Lin Xi, knowing she was in the wrong, quickly escaped from the scene holding Gu Fan’s hand.

Lin Xi gently stepped forward, appearing to ascend through the sky, while Gu Fan also experienced the sensation of lifting from the ground with Qi. But Gu Fan was more focused on his crew’s ship which was under attack.
