I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

Shan Ling stopped and told Ruan Feifei about the danger she had just encountered. She also said that Ji Yanli was taken away by the monster and Gu Lan went to chase it.

Ruan Feifei frowned after listening to this, thinking to herself that it was really a case of adding insult to injury. There were problems on both sides. What should she do?

But Ruan Feifei remained calm. She already knew about this matter, and it was useless to be anxious. She had to find a way to share the information she had obtained with everyone.

"Junior brother went on patrol and seemed to have made some discoveries. He sent a message. Please take a look."

Ruan Feifei spread out her palms, and golden light emerged from them. Suddenly, several lines of golden characters flew out and formed a paragraph of text half an inch above her palms: Senior Sister, we have found an island ahead. There seems to be a cry for help on the island. We will go to check nearby first and return in half an incense stick.

The golden characters floated, and everyone scanned them quickly.

When Ruan Feifei saw that everyone had finished reading, she closed her palm and the golden words quickly shattered into starlight and disappeared in her palm.

After reading it, everyone knew that Ruan Feifei came for this matter, but they didn't know what had happened. Although they were worried about the safety of Gu Lan and Ji Yanli, they still waited patiently for Ruan Feifei to continue.

Ruan Feifei received the message and said, "I tried to contact my junior brother half an incense stick later but couldn't get in touch with him. He must have encountered something. I have to go check on him." Ruan Feifei expressed her opinion.

Just now, she saw several people flying in the air with swords in their hands from afar. Gu Lan and Ji Yanli were missing. She also saw blood floating on the sea surface and smelled a strong fishy smell. She knew that everyone must have encountered something. Now she told everyone the Feixin information and expressed her idea of ​​going to look for people.

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Too many things happened too quickly. On the one hand, they were just attacked by an unknown monster. On the other hand, several disciples of Feiyun Cave were missing. Ruan Feifei had to lead people to look for them. In addition, the fleet needed protection. Did the remaining disciples have to split into three groups?

But the problem is that there are too few people.

There were 12 of them in total. When they were out on patrol they encountered an isolated island. Three disciples went to look for people. Gu Lan and Ji Yanli also left the team, leaving only 7 people.

There are five fishing boats now. To ensure the safety of the remaining fishermen, we must keep some people. The key is how many to keep and who to keep.

They looked at each other, and as soon as their eyes made contact, they knew that the other person was thinking about the same question.

Time is running out, but everyone is frowning.

Shanling thought for a moment, seemed to have made a decision, and took a step forward.

"Senior Sister Ruan."

Shan Ling was the first to break the silence, facing Ruan Feifei.

Hearing this, Ruan Feifei looked up and looked at Shan Ling.

She was wearing a black suit, holding a huge sword under her feet, her hair was simply combed behind her head, her eyebrows were the sword-like eyebrows of a man, and her eyes were bright and lively. She was very different from the other female cultivators around her and had a heroic appearance.

Ruan Feifei praised secretly.

In fact, Ruan Feifei didn’t know Shan Ling. The two of them just nodded to each other when they got on the boat.

Before, she had only heard that a female cultivator and several male cultivators came to see Gu Lan, but at that time Feiyun Cave still had a lot of things to deal with, and she was too busy to take care of them. By the time she had made all the arrangements, it was time to go out to sea.

"Please say."

Ruan Feifei knew that she had something to say, so she took a step forward.

"There are seven people and five boats left. The disciples of Feiyun Cave must go to look for them, and the fishing boats must be protected. As for Ji Yanli and Gu Lan, although we don't know what the monster is, the immortal sword can hurt it, so it should not be a big deal. I think it's better to do this. If you trust us, why not take me to the island to have a look? Shao Yu will go to look for Gu Lan, and Xue Hao and the remaining three disciples of Feiyun Cave will guard the fishing boats. Is this okay?"

When this was said, Xue Hao disagreed at first. He wanted to go find his senior sister, but he was left on the fishing boat. How could this be possible?

"Sister Shanling, wouldn't it be better if I went to look for you on behalf of Brother Shaoyu?"

Shan Ling knew Xue Hao would definitely have an opinion, and she had already thought of a reply, "I know you are anxious, but Shao Yu is better than you. In terms of swordsmanship and magic, how do you think he compares to Ji Yanli and your senior sister?"

Xue Hao lowered his head and answered weakly, "Of course... not as good as."

Shan Ling nodded and continued to output.

"Since your sword skills and magic are not as good as theirs, if you go again, won't it distract them from protecting you? In this way, you are not rescuing them but a burden, do you understand?"

Xue Hao was completely speechless. He hated himself for not having enough skills and not having mastered the swordsmanship yet. Now that he was needed, he found himself to be nothing more than a burden. It was useless to be anxious, and he could only endure it.

Seeing that it worked, Shan Ling didn't want Xue Hao to feel bad about himself, so she added, "Shao Yu is from the Divine Seal Sect. Although his swordsmanship is mediocre, his formation tracking is first-rate. Letting him go can help us find Gu Lan and Ji Yanli quickly. Secondly, if we encounter something unforeseen, we can quickly use the formation to teleport them to a safe place."

Shao Yu knew some sword skills, but they were taught to him by Gu Lan and others in their spare time. The Shenyin Sect specialized in formations and did not have any talent for sword skills. Everyone did not teach him seriously and only taught him some self-defense sword skills and left it at that.

Shanling was more serious, but this guy was always absent-minded. You pointed east and he pointed west, and you pointed west and he hit east. It was completely like talking to a deaf person. In the end, she lost her patience and gave up.

As for Shao Yu, he had been despised for learning swordsmanship before, so he had long been avoiding swordsmanship as much as possible.

When it was Shanling's turn to teach him, he was with the female cultivator he liked, so how could he have the mind to study? He was so distracted and confused that he was eventually rejected by her.

Now, hearing Shan Ling praising him and being willing to rely on him for important matters, he was so happy that he would not hesitate even if it meant going through fire and water, let alone saving Gu Lan and Ji Yanli.

Shao Yu agreed with everything and said quickly, "This is a good arrangement. Let's act quickly."

Ruan Feifei also thought about it and decided that she was looking for them because she trusted them. Now that Shan Ling had made such an assignment, all three aspects were taken into consideration and the candidates were just right without any problems, so she naturally agreed.

In this way, they reached a consensus. They put the fishermen on other boats, briefly explained the whole story, and then quickly went their separate ways.

The octopus sprayed ink and ran away, refusing to fight. It moved as fast as the wind in the water. Gu Lan chased it for a long time but didn't get much closer, and he became more and more anxious.

At this rate, when will we be able to catch up?

Gu Lan took out a talisman from the mustard seed bag while flying, intending to use the talisman to block the octopus for a moment so that he could get closer quickly.

The talisman is protected by spiritual power and will not become a mess under water.

Gu Lan took out a few and threw them out.

After all, it is not as good underwater as on land. Because of the water flow, the talismans cast out may not fly to the designated location according to the predetermined trajectory. Gu Lan must also be careful not to throw the talismans too close to Ji Yanli to avoid accidentally injuring teammates.

In this way, most of the talismans hit the reefs. The octopus narrowed its big eyes, knowing that the monks behind it were playing tricks, and dodged left and right, moving left and right among the reefs. For a moment, it was even more like a fish in water.

Gu Lan was very depressed, so he had to put away the talisman and follow patiently.

But in a blink of an eye, the octopus slid towards a reef and disappeared.

Oops!

Gu Lan's heart skipped a beat and he rushed over.
