Xia Zixuan held up the singer's rapidly falling body with one hand at the waist, and then she fell gently onto the deck.

Yao Siyan and Ding Yurou stepped forward to observe the singer and tried to check her body, but they did not dare to send their spiritual power into her body to test it easily.

Qi Gui was puzzled: "What's wrong with this singer?"

Xia Zixuan was still thinking: "I just noticed from a closer look that this woman's eyes are not cold, but lacking spirit, and her expression is dull, which is very similar to a symptom I encountered during my previous training."

At this time, Ding Yurou and Yao Siyan finished the examination, and they stood up to exchange information with each other, and then told each other the results.

"We didn't find any obvious abnormalities after checking. But this woman must have taken the Disguise Pill, so her current appearance is not her original appearance. And she must be a cultivator, and she has a rare single-line wood spiritual root."

Xia Zixuan asserted for them: "So you suspect that she is related to the Medical Fairy Island? Or even that she is from the Medical Fairy Island?"

Ding Yurou and Yao Siyan nodded in unison.

Qi Gui pondered: "Disguise Pill? A Disguise Pill that can't be seen by us must be of a very high grade. After all, low-grade Disguise Pills can be easily seen through. And it makes sense that he is a medical practitioner from the Medical Immortal Island who has such a high-grade Disguise Pill."

Ding Yurou took out a pill from her storage bag, squatted down, pinched the singer's chin, skillfully opened her mouth a crack, stuffed the pill into her throat, then patted her chest hard, and the pill was swallowed into her stomach in an instant.

After waiting for a while, the look on her face changed and soon became something else.

This was a face that was more beautiful and elegant than that of a singing girl. Even with her eyes closed, she could make people feel pity for her. She didn't look very old either, and seemed to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, like Qi Gui.

The four of them finally remembered Cao Peng who had been forgotten aside, and turned their eyes to him.

Xia Zixuan asked: "Mr. Cao, could you please come over and see if you know the woman on the ground?"

Still feeling scared, Cao Peng moved closer to them step by step and looked at the woman on the ground. However, he cried out in surprise the first time he saw her clearly.

"Huh? Why is it her?"

"Master Cao knows him?"

This time, Cao Peng simply squatted down, looked at the other person's face carefully, then stood up and nodded affirmatively to everyone.

"I know her. She is the girl adopted by the island master of Medical Fairy Island. Her name is Shu Xiaoman. My father said that she is very talented and has superb medical skills at a young age. It seems that she is more likely to become the next island master of Medical Fairy Island than the island master's children."

"Shu Xiaoman?"

Xia Zixuan murmured the name and looked at Ding Yurou and Yao Siyan. Ding Yurou shook her head to indicate that she didn't know, but Yao Siyan nodded.

"I've heard of it. Shu Xiaoman was adopted by the island master ten years ago because he was attracted by her wood spiritual roots and her talent for medicine. She has never left the Medical Fairy Island in the past ten years, so the outside world doesn't have any information about her, but everyone on the island knows that the island master seems to have trained her to be the next island master."

Ding Yurou was puzzled: "But I heard from my master that the master of the Medical Fairy Island has always been a family inheritance. Even if the outsider is outstanding, the island master will only be surnamed Gongsun."

Yao Siyan was also puzzled: "This statement is indeed true, so I don't know why such rumors are spread on the island. I just think that it is an internal matter of the Gongsun family after all, and it is not convenient for us to ask more."

Based on their fragmentary words, Qi Gui made a guess.

"Shu Xiaoman is involved in the dispute over the position of island master, and is also involved in an arranged marriage with Gongsun Qiubai. This time, she disguised herself as someone else to assassinate Master Cao. In addition, with the recent news that the life of the island master of Medical Immortal Island is in danger, several forces are ready to make a move. I have to suspect that she may be the core and key to the whole thing."

Everyone else agreed with his summary, but Cao Peng grimaced, not knowing how to explain the complicated relationship to his father.

At this time, Xia Zixuan came up with an unexpected idea.

"Junior Sister Ding, Junior Sister Yao, I suspect she may have been hypnotized."

"Hypnosis?"

Ding Yurou and Yao Siyan looked at each other and confirmed that neither of them had heard of this disease. Seeing this, Xia Zixuan continued to explain.

"I met a casual cultivator before. He specialized in this evil method. The people controlled by his hypnosis would act according to his instructions, even against their own will. When the hypnotized people woke up, they often did not remember the hypnosis. This made this evil method almost unknown to many people."

Ding Yurou frowned slightly, "It sounds like this evil method is too unscrupulous. It's scary to think that a person would do something against his or her conscience without knowing it, and still be completely unaware of it after waking up."

Yao Siyan pressed on with a series of questions: "Is that casual cultivator your friend? How do you have such a friend? How is he now? Has he always been harming people?"

Xia Zixuan quickly explained for his friend: "That casual cultivator is my friend, but he did not practice this evil method voluntarily, but to avenge his deceased lover. His lover died in vain because of this evil method."

Yao Siyan understood and nodded in understanding: "I see. Sorry, I misunderstood your friend."

Xia Zixuan waved his hand indifferently.

Qi Gui asked: "If she was hypnotized, is there any way to wake her up from hypnosis?"

"The only way is to find the key point to remove the hypnosis, but this is so difficult. The key point may be a sentence, a word, or a certain behavior. It is really hard to guess."

"Is there no other way?"

"Yes! But it is extremely dangerous. You need to use your spiritual consciousness to enter the other person's sea of ​​consciousness. Finding the key point will directly remove the hypnosis. However, this method can only be used when the two people have 100% trust in each other. Otherwise, once the spiritual consciousness is attacked, the person will become stupid at best, or even disappear at worst."

Everyone had to give up the idea temporarily and wait for Shu Xiaoman to wake up before seeing the situation. After asking Cao Peng, they learned that the mayor had a place to detain criminals, so they decided to lock Shu Xiaoman in there first and then make plans.

The discussion was tentatively put on hold, and everyone's attention shifted to another cruise ship and a wupeng boat nearby.

Cao Peng ordered the cruise ship to take the unconscious Sun Yueru and others back to the shore, and then asked someone from the mansion to come and pick them up.

As for the other Wupeng boat——

Before Wang San could take the opportunity to escape, the bow of the ship was pushed down heavily. When he looked up, he was horrified to find that Qi Gui and Xia Zixuan were already standing on the bow deck.

This frightened him greatly, and his mind was filled with the scene of the two men killing without blinking an eye. His limbs went numb, and he slowly collapsed to the ground, without even the strength to move a finger. He couldn't help but regret that he hadn't abandoned the two girls and hadn't jumped into the water to escape immediately. Now he couldn't run away even if he wanted to.

Unexpectedly, the two men didn't even glance at him, and their attention was all on the two shadows that were looming in the darkness inside the black tent.

Xia Zixuan's voice was relatively gentle, but there was a threat in his words.

"The two of you in the tent, were you frightened by what you saw just now? Could you please come out and let us apologize?"

There was silence in the black tent, revealing an invisible sense of resistance.
