Chapter 194 The ship is coming
He understood that Ye Qing had made up his mind and no amount of words could change it.
So, Zhang Chulan nodded gently, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "Okay, Brother Qing, take care of yourself. We...see you later."
As Zhang Chulan finished speaking, an inexplicable feeling of separation filled the air.
The next morning, the sun shone through the sparse clouds, dappling onto the delicate beach, giving a golden glow to the land that was about to witness the farewell.
Ye Qing arrived as promised. He stood quietly aside, watching Zhang Chulan and his group.
Under Li Guang's guidance, they came to a relatively secluded beach. The sea breeze, with a slightly salty scent, gently brushed everyone's face.
Li Guang stopped, turned around and pointed into the distance, his tone filled with certainty: "This is it. If the intelligence is correct, your people should appear in this area."
After saying that, Li Guang seemed to be afraid of missing any possible signs. He flashed and quickly walked to the front of the beach, his eyes fixed on the sparkling sea, afraid of missing any possible ship.
Seeing this, the others did not rush to catch up, but slowed down their pace intentionally or unintentionally, keeping a distance that was neither too far nor too close.
Zhang Chulan's gaze stayed on Li Guang for a moment, and then he exchanged a subtle glance with his companion beside him.
Noticing the strangeness of the people behind him, Li Guang turned around involuntarily, a slightly self-deprecating smile appearing on his face.
"In the eyes of you outsiders, do the people on our island all look like...freaks?"
Zhang Chulan's mouth curled up, he shook his head, his tone sincere.
"We don't think about it that way. Everyone has their own story and uniqueness, and that's something to be respected. But it does make people a little curious if you're still wearing a mask outside."
Li Guang's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, but then he smiled in relief. He slowly took off the mask and explained, "Actually, I don't like wearing this thing all day. But my teacher once said that my abilities are progressing too slowly. Wearing this mask can regulate my breathing and speed up my cultivation. Over time, I got used to it."
As the mask fell off, a handsome face was revealed, especially the big red eyes, which were flashing with a strange light, making people look at them a few more times.
It turned out that Li Guang was actually a handsome boy with big red eyes, which was very different from his usual cold and mysterious image.
"Hey, you're so handsome, you usually hide yourself.
Zhang Chulan patted Li Guang on the shoulder, his tone was a bit teasing, but also couldn't hide some sincerity.
Li Guang scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile: "No, no."
Zhang Chulan looked at the waves gently lapping at the beach, his eyes full of thought. He turned to Li Guang and asked, "You, have you never been outside?"
Li Guang lowered his head and kicked the sand under his feet, with a hint of imperceptible loss in his voice.
"Well, I was born and raised on this island. My teacher told me that he found me on the beach. Later, he thought I was too much trouble, so he handed me over to Big G. Although I have never left this island, Big G has a lot of information about the outside world, and I have learned a lot from it. So, for me, it makes no difference whether I go out or not."
He looked up into the distance, his eyes filled with both longing and indifference.
"Another thing is that the people at the market don't really like the outside world. Take Evil Disease and Honey Badger, for example. Well, the outside world, while exciting, is also full of troubles. Unlike this island, it's simple and pure, without all the turmoil."
Ye Qing listened quietly at the side, a hint of resonance flashing in his eyes.
That's right. It's like being in Lingyin Temple. I grew up there, and everyone I'm close to is there. If it weren't for the system requiring me to interact with other aliens to gain karmic points, I wouldn't actually want to leave my master. That sense of belonging is irreplaceable anywhere else.
Mentioning E Bing, Li Guang suddenly changed the subject, "Come to think of it, did you know that after E Bing finished fighting with you, he left the market. He seemed to have enjoyed the fight very much."
Zhang Chulan raised his eyebrows slightly, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Oh? That guy is actually happy because of fighting? It's really rare."
Sister Baoer, standing by, was picking her teeth nonchalantly, muttering, "It's a fight, so of course you're happy when you win. That Evil Disease guy is probably a battle maniac, too."
Li Guang nodded and continued, "Yes, although I didn't see the fight in person, I heard from Big G that when Ebing died, he still had a smile on his face. He said that it had been a long time since he had found an opponent who could give him such a great experience."
Having said that, he paused, as if recalling something.
"In fact, although E Bing looks rough on the outside, he has his own persistence and principles in his heart. He doesn't like trouble, but once he encounters something that interests him, he will go all out. Just like he chose to stay in the market, perhaps it was because he felt that there was something he wanted here."
Lu Linglong stared at the sea in silence, a mixture of emotions welling up in her heart. She truly was powerless to speak any more about the sudden change. Her mind was now preoccupied with explaining everything to her family upon her return. A heavy weight of worry hung over her heart like a dark cloud.
Li Guang noticed Lu Linglong's silence and tactfully did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he brought the topic back to himself.
"As for me, I'm about to go out into the world, and to be honest, I'm a little nervous. I don't know if it's because the sea breeze is too cold, or because I'm afraid of the unknown world, but I'm shaking a little bit."
As he spoke, he actually shook his shoulders slightly, as if to verify his words.
The sea breeze was howling, bringing a bit of coolness.
At this moment, a black dot appeared faintly on the sea surface, gradually enlarging until it became a real ship.
Li Guang's eyes lit up, and he pointed at the ship excitedly, shouting to Ye Qing and the others, "Look! The ship mentioned in the intelligence has appeared! If the intelligence is correct, this ship should not be sent by Behemoth, but yours!"
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the ship, feeling nervous and expectant.
I saw a speedboat slowly lowered from the big ship, and two people in plain clothes drove the speedboat, rushing towards the shore like an arrow.
"It's them!" Li Guang confirmed excitedly.
The speedboat got closer and closer, and everyone finally saw the people on it clearly.
