Chen Ren drove the Adventure on the sea of clouds, and could already see the outline of an island in the distance, which was their destination [Fengyun Island].
But at this time, he did not feel happy that he was about to arrive home. Instead, he frowned and looked wary, turning back and looking around from time to time, as if he was looking for something.
"What's wrong?" Yiyi noticed her junior brother's abnormal behavior and stepped forward to ask with concern.
"I always feel like something is staring at me, but as soon as I turn my head, the feeling of being watched disappears."
"It probably started on that freighter. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but the closer I got home, the more obvious it became." He leaned next to his senior sister and whispered.
"How does it feel to be watched?" Yiyi was a little confused, but the serious look on his junior brother's face didn't seem to be fake.
My perception is sharper than that of my junior brother, but I didn't notice the feeling of being watched. She lowered her head and meditated secretly, and her long white fingers couldn't help but rub it. This was her habitual action when thinking.
"This time I will be the one to drive the boat. You observe the surroundings."
"Yes." Chen Ren nodded in response. After handing over the driving rights to his senior sister, he retreated to the shadows and observed his surroundings vigilantly.
Yiyi took over the rudder, and soon a feeling of being watched came from behind. Sure enough, the other party was watching the ship and the helmsman.
"Here we come." She gestured to Chen Ren behind her.
Chen Ren was already very irritated by that sight. After seeing Yiyi's gesture, he did not look back directly behind him, but looked at the sea to the right and rear respectively.
The white mist-like sea surface was calm and waveless, nothing unusual was seen, not even ripples.
If it's not in the sea, it's in the sky
He suddenly raised his head and stared at the sky. Fortunately, they were backlit and could observe carefully.
Sure enough, there was a black spot in the sky behind them, and that was it.
Chen Ren returned to the rudder and told his senior sister about the black spots he observed.
"Let's go back to Fenyun Island. It's too high and we can't kill it. Go back to the martial arts hall and ask Dad for help." Yiyi turned around and didn't see the black spot. Apparently it was only sensitive to the sight of the helmsman. She couldn't help but let out a cry.
sigh.
Helpless, he had obviously found the pursuer but couldn't hit him. He could only nod in agreement with a sullen face. This feeling of powerlessness was uncomfortable.
One hand reached out to his head and rubbed it hard.
"What do you mean by that... You are still in the developmental stage, don't be discouraged." Senior sister's gentle tone slightly relieved his inner anxiety.
He raised a bright smile to his senior sister and said, "I will work hard to grow."
…
[Fenyun Island] arrived, merchant ships were constantly coming and going on the pier, shouting and shouting could be heard among the crowds of people, and workers in short jackets kept going back and forth between the merchant ships and the pier. It was a lively scene.
Chen Ren and Yi Yi boarded the pier, and the feeling of being watched disappeared. The two looked at each other, returned to the boat, and held the rudder. The feeling of being watched did not come, and there was no black shadow in the sky.
"disappeared"
"What's the purpose of following us?"
"It started following us from the freighter."
Thoughts kept popping up in his mind.
"Sister Yiyi, the ones spying on us are not the cloud thieves who robbed the freighter, right?" He couldn't help but blurt out.
"If it's cloud thieves, why would they rely on this method to hunt? It's unreasonable." Yiyi shook her head to deny her junior brother's conjecture.
"Let's go back to the martial arts school first." After saying that, she flicked her slender arm, and the gilt treasure box half a person's height rose into the air, and then landed firmly on her palm. She held the box and walked towards the town.
Chen Ren quickly followed.
After passing through the crowded people and the noisy market, the two finally saw the martial arts hall. The high vermilion gate faced the street, with walls made of gray and white boulders extending out on both sides. Two mighty cloud beasts were located at both ends of the high gate.
There is a plaque with yellow characters on a black background and the words "Fun Yun" written on it.
The noisy sound of training kept coming from the martial arts hall.
After the two of them entered the martial arts hall, there was a pause of the sound of training, and then there was a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
"Senior Sister is back."
"How many cloud pirates have you hunted down, Senior Sister?"
"How much has Senior Brother Chen gained this time?"
After Chen Ren waved to his junior brothers, he followed Yiyi straight to the back hall.
As soon as I entered the back hall, I saw an old man lying in the shade of a tree drinking tea. He was wearing a large black training suit that covered his body tightly.
Hearing the movement in the martial arts arena, a pair of calm eyes happened to see the two people who had just entered the door.
"I'm back, what's the result?" The old man's voice was rich and loud, and there was no trace of the sound that an octogenarian should make.
"Dad, junior brother, he passed."
"Master, I will get the blue bird back."
The two of them responded at the same time.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Ivan sat up suddenly with a pair of swords and his eyes widened. His calm expression was quickly replaced by surprise.
"good"
"Okay, as expected, it was my daughter who brought it out."
"Come on, tell me your experiences in the past two days in detail." Ivan pulled Chen Ren with excitement on his face. He looked at Chen Ren as if it was the last straw.
"That day, I made a sneak attack first..." He told the master the story of the test, and also told the story of the pursuit he encountered when he came back.
Yiyi sat on the box and stared blankly at the old man and the young man, her eyes turning a little red.
"A monitor flying high in the sky? Only watching the ship and the helmsman?" Ivan looked a little confused, tapping the recliner regularly with his hands, thinking carefully in his mind.
"It sounds like a messenger crow, but how could such a thing appear in the East China Sea?" He murmured softly while frowning in thought.
"Master, what is a letter crow?" Chen Ren, who was squatting aside, heard his mumbling and couldn't help but ask.
"Xin Crow is one of the few tyrannical cloud thieves in Beihai. All you see is a dark shadow, and he's not very smart. It's probably just a test for newcomers organized by Xin Crow. If he dares to attack him, just chop him with a knife."
Ivan explained to his apprentice. His tone was full of heroism, which was in huge contrast to his usual dull personality, and all this was because his apprentice gave him hope of revenge.
"Okay, let's not talk about them anymore. This time you are truly a disciple. Follow me into the martial arts pavilion. It's time to give you the black plum." He smiled and pulled up Chen Ren, who was squatting aside, and walked inside together.
Deep in the hall.
Watching the two of them walk into the inner hall, Yiyi raised the treasure box and disappeared into the inner hall.
A three-eyed crow is flying across the sea of clouds at an extremely fast speed to deliver news of the prey to the hunter.
"Yeah, yeah."
The shrill crow of crows attracted the attention of the ships below.
A touch of blood red suddenly appeared on the deck, and a white and slender arm was raised to become the crow's foothold.
She stretched out her finger and tapped the crow's middle eye, and an island appeared in her mind.
The bright red lips curled up, finding prey again.
