Yin Yin didn't know when Zhuo Sikong and the other person left, but seeing Hongyao's signal to Xuan Nu after she came in, and Ji Guang's offer to send Xuan Nu's group out to sea, she knew that the conversation had gone well.

With the boat in hand, Xuan Nu didn't linger. She simply told everyone to rest at the inn for a day to wash away the dust and fatigue of the journey.

The next morning, the girls of the Xuan Nu Sect changed into clean new clothes and were once again dashing and heroic heroines.

This time, although the Xuan Nu Sect members still wore veils, they no longer covered themselves with light gauze. However, others did not dare to look at them too closely. After all, their attire and appearance made them look like martial arts practitioners, and they were all carrying swords. Anyone would know that they were not to be trifled with.

When the group arrived at the seaside, Ji Guang stepped out of the boat: "Your Excellency, ladies, shall we depart now?"

“Of course,” Hongyao replied, “Thank you for coming to see me off, Boss Ji.”

Ji Guang smiled and said, "It is my honor to be able to steer the ship for Your Majesty."

Seeing that Xuan Nu did not intend to speak, Ji Guang wisely did not linger.

Hongyao and the others went into the cabin. They originally wanted to bring the Yin Yin sisters along, but Yin Yin saw that Xuan Nu was still outside, so she wanted to go with her master.

Lin Jingjing originally wanted to go with them and enjoy the sea view. However, she wasn't used to it after the boat started moving and soon showed signs of seasickness, so she went into the cabin as well.

Yinyin noticed that Xuan Nu's gaze was fixed in one direction, but after looking for a while, she couldn't find anything wrong, so she asked, "Master, what are you looking at?"

“Look at where we’re going,” Xuan Nu looked down at her. “You’re quite adaptable, not seasick at all.”

Yinyin tilted her head: "Did Master get seasick before?"

“I don’t get seasick,” Xuan Nu said. “I’ve been traveling by boat since I was a child, and I’m used to it.”

“Actually, my sister doesn’t usually get seasick,” Yin Yin defended her sister. “We often take small boats on the lake.”

Xuan Nu ruffled her hair: "Small boats and big ships are not the same, and big ships at sea are even more different. So you may not get seasick while boating on a lake, but you may not get seasick at sea."

"When sailing at sea, the weather is fine and the sea is calm, just like today, it seems particularly gentle. But once the weather changes, the waves can be higher than the small building you live in, crashing onto the shore with tremendous force."

"At times like this, let alone sailing, one cannot even go out."

Hearing this, Yin Yin shifted her gaze to the seemingly boundless sea: "Then we can only hope that the sea will be calm and peaceful when we sail, and that it won't change course."

"It's unlikely to happen today," Xuan Nu comforted her, then looked back into the distance.

Although she still had no expression, Yin Yin seemed to sense the unease in her heart, so she didn't say anything and just stood quietly next to her.

After about two hours of sailing, the boat arrived at a small island. The island was sparsely populated. When Ji Guang put them down, he was a little curious, but he wisely said nothing and told the boat to leave immediately.

After their ship left, Hongyao took out the note from her bosom and blew on a conch shell.

Not long after, a pair of seabirds flew over, circled above everyone's heads for a moment, grabbed the invitation that the goddess had thrown up, and left.

"Master," Lin Jingjing exclaimed in amazement, "this bird is truly intelligent!"

Yinyin nodded in agreement: "It even knows what it wants, grabs it and leaves without delay."

The Mystic Maiden looked at her two disciples and said, "If you like, we'll find you two eagles to raise when you return to the sect. But you'll have to work on how to make the eagles obey you."

The two sisters were surprised by this unexpected turn of events. They exchanged a glance and quickly assured each other that they would successfully train the eagle.

Just a few words later, another ship sailed over from a distance.

As the boat drew near, a group of young girls disembarked: "Welcome, Martial Aunt Xuan Nu."

Yinyin looked up at them. Judging from their demeanor, it seemed that her master held a rather high position in this place.

Yinyin didn't try to hide her gaze, so she was quickly noticed. The girl in the lead looked up slightly, met her eyes, and smiled brightly.

In fact, Yin Yin, along with her older sister Lin Jingjing, stood out quite a bit among Xuan Nu's group. After all, they were good-looking, young, and unfamiliar faces.

Xuan Nu nodded and accurately called out the other person's name: "Qing Luan, were you assigned to guard this year?"

“Yes,” Qingluan led the people aside to let Xuan Nu go first, “Master specially had your old courtyard cleaned, just waiting for your return.”

"Master also instructed that when you return, you must tell her as soon as possible that she has prepared good wine and is only willing to open the jar when you return."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Nu's entire demeanor softened considerably.

The group boarded the ship again, raised the sails, and sailed for dozens of nautical miles before reaching another small island.

Compared to the island we just visited, this one is much larger. Judging from the houses that are faintly visible, there must be quite a few people living on the island.

However, compared to her sister, Yin Yin was more concerned about the formation on the island.

Because Yin Yin doesn't get seasick, she stayed close to Xuan Nu and saw the previously empty sea suddenly appear before her after the ship's serpentine course.

Yin Yin can only attribute the method of creating an island out of thin air to an array for now, but she also suspects that the inheritance on this island may have a more transcendent power.

After everyone disembarked, Yin Yin immediately spotted the stone tablet on the shore. The tablet was inscribed with characters that the Mystic Maiden had taught them.

Pengshan.

Before Yinyin could take her attention away from the stone tablet, she heard a spirited female voice.

"After being away for so many years, you're finally back."

Yinyin looked up and saw a radiant beauty wearing a fiery red pomegranate-red dress.

She greeted Xuan Nu first, then looked at Yin Yin and her sister: "These are your two disciples?"

As soon as Xuan Nu nodded, she swiftly grabbed the wrists of Yin Yin and her sister.

Yinyin instinctively tried to break free, but failed.

“Zhuque,” ​​Xuan Nu gently tapped Zhuque’s wrists twice, forcing Zhuque to release her grip.

Forced to release the two sisters, Zhuque was not angry. Instead, she said to Xuan Nu, "Your two disciples are quite talented. If you put in the effort to teach them well in the future, they will be better than mine."

Qingluan feigned dissatisfaction: "Master, when you were looking at the disciples of my senior uncles Qinglong, Baihu, and Xuanwu, you said the same thing. Am I really that unworthy?"

“Nonsense,” Zhuque retorted, “I didn’t praise Qinglong’s disciple.”

This is quite a lot of information. At least from the conversation between the master and disciple, Yin Yin learned that there were at least three other people of the same generation as the Vermilion Bird Goddess, and each of these three had disciples.

The White Tiger and Black Tortoise are currently unknown, but the Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon may have some rivalry or disagreements.

However, the situation should not be serious, otherwise Qingluan would not have called out so naturally.

Moreover, apart from Xuan Nu, the other four were all named after the four divine beasts of the four directions, which Yin Yin did not think was a coincidence.
