"That's right," the girl nodded. "Not only can I not tell you, but you all... have to stay here."

"You can stay," Nangong Xianyue said to them calmly, "Our people will find this place soon, and then you will be exposed as well."

"Impossible!" the boy said firmly, "There's nothing here, it's just a desolate island. No one would come here."

"What about us?" Nangong Xianyue spread his hands.

"Uh...you, you...are the exception."

"Now, you have two choices. First, send us out. I will reward you handsomely when I return. Second, wait for our people to find us and completely expose this place."

The boy and girl looked at each other and said, "We can't make a decision, but we can take you to see the island owner."

"lead the way."

Nangong Xianyue casually put on the dried shirt and then took Qiao Yisha's hand.

Follow the man and woman in front.

Qiaoisha whispered, "Can you believe it? They're not going to take us to some messed up place and lock us up, are they?"

"No, they don't look very intelligent."

"Pfft..." Qiaoisha couldn't help laughing.

The two people in front looked back at the same time, and the girl whispered, "I wonder who they are, they are so beautiful. This is the first time I have seen such beautiful people in my life."

"I think the girl is pretty. The man is too feminine and his skin is so pale. He doesn't look manly at all."

"What's wrong with Bai? Didn't you see the muscles in his arms? He can knock you away with one punch. I think you are just jealous." The girl was not willing to be outdone.

"I'm not……"

They walked for about half an hour. The two people in front kept chattering. Qiao Yisha couldn't help but ask, "How much longer will it take?"

The boy immediately turned around and said, "We're halfway there, almost there."

Qiao Yisha's expression immediately drooped: "What...it takes so long..."

"Um...can I ask where you are from?" The girl looked a little shy.

"What's wrong?" Qiaoisha asked.

"Just asking. By the way, my name is Mi Ya and his name is Zong Yan."

"Hey!" Zong Yan glared at her, "Why did you tell her your name? The island owner said you can't tell anyone casually."

"When did the island owner say that? He clearly said there would be no one else here!"

"It's not the same."

Mi Ya: "I'm too lazy to argue with you."

The light outside was better than in the cave. Joysa looked at their faces carefully. They looked very young, about eighteen or nineteen years old.

"In exchange, you have to tell me your name." Zong Yan looked at Qiao Yisha.

Qiao Yisha: "Just call me Sha, his name is Yue."

Zong Yan: "Oh, why are you here?"

"I accidentally swam over here while swimming and I can't go back." Joysa answered seriously.

Zong Yan had an expression that said, "Do you think I believe it?"

"Forget it, let's wait for the island owner to ask you. You won't tell us anything we ask anyway."

Still quite self-aware.

Half an hour later, Zong Yan led them to a village.

It is called a village, but it is actually just a few simple wooden houses with a few clothes hanging at the door.

"You wait here." Zong Yan said, and ran into the middle room.

He came out in just a minute, followed by a man in his forties.

The man frowned slightly the moment he saw their faces.

"This is our island owner," Zong Yan introduced. "Owner, they said they came to this island by accident and want to know how to get out."

The island owner nodded and turned around, "Follow me in."

Several people followed him into the wooden house. The island owner took a few cups and poured water. "Sit down and talk slowly."

Nangong Xianyue and Qiao Yisha didn't move.

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous. I'm just an ordinary person. It won't do me any good to harm you."

After the island owner finished speaking, Zong Yan picked up the water and drank it all: "Are you relieved now? The island owner is not a bad person."

Nangong Xianyue picked up the water cup and looked at it for a moment, then put it under his nose to smell it, then raised his head to drink it, and then nodded to Qiao Yisha: "It's okay."

Qiao Yisha immediately picked up the water glass, drank the whole glass in big gulps, and then put the glass down, "Another glass."

They were thirsty for a whole day and night, their mouths were dry and one glass of water was not enough.

The island owner chuckled and filled their cups again.

After completely quenching her thirst, Qiao Yisha wiped her mouth and put down the cup. "Before we get down to business, can I trouble you for something?"

"Please say."

"Is there a place to take a shower here?"

The island owner nodded: "Of course, Mi Ya, Zong Yan, give them some clothes."

They quickly took out their clothes and Mi Ya took them to the bathroom.

A bathroom is essentially a room with a sink.

"The water here is flowing and very clean. Who of you wants to wash first?" Mi Ya asked.

"Let's go together. Please go out and wait." Nangong Xianyue made a 'please' gesture.

Mi Ya was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and ran out to close the wooden door.

The pool was very clear and the water was a little over one meter deep. Nangong Xianyue locked the door, and Qiao Yisha couldn't wait to jump in without even taking off her skirt.

"Finally, I can wash in clean water." Qiaoisha dived into the water, took off her clothes and threw them ashore, carefully washing the mud off her body.

After washing, the two put on Zong Yan and Mi Ya's clothes, which were a little small, after all, they were much taller than the two.

After going out, the island owner, Mi Ya and Zong Yan were still waiting at the original place.

Nangong Xianyue and Qiao Yisha sat down opposite them.

"You two, may I ask why you are on this island?" the island owner went straight to the point.

"I fell into the sea accidentally and swam here." Nangong Xianyue answered casually.

"I have heard from Zong Yan that you want to leave. But it's not that we don't want to help, it's that we have no other way." The island owner shook his head.

"You have never left here?" Qiaosha found it ridiculous. If they had never left, where would all the daily necessities, food and clothes come from?

"Yes." The island owner waved to Mi Ya and Zong Yan, signaling them to go out.

"Why do you want to stay in a place like this?"

"We didn't do this voluntarily." The island owner hesitated to speak, still feeling hesitant when facing these two people.

"You are here to seek refuge, or rather, to be imprisoned."

The island master looked at Nangong Xianyue fiercely when he heard her words. "Yes...it's not hard to guess, but what does it matter if you know it? We don't know how to get out, so you will have no choice but to stay here forever like us."

"You are wrong. Didn't Zong Yan tell you? My people will find this place soon. It's only a matter of time before we get out."

The island owner looked anxious and paced around the house.

"I understand your concerns, Island Master."

The island owner looked at him.

"You are afraid that this place will be exposed and everyone will be in danger. As long as you send us away from here, I will ensure your safety for the rest of your life." Nangong Xianyue's tone was calm, making people let down their guard unconsciously.

"You?" The island owner looked him over. "It's not that I don't trust you, sir. It's simply that the enemy is too powerful. No ordinary person can contend with them."
