It was a long way to the Southern Ocean.
That was the case. Even with Feng Ruqing’s speed, she took almost half a month to get there.
There were still a few ships at the Southern Ocean at the moment. Feng Ruqing did not want anyone to know where she was going. Hence, she bought a bunch of boats and made the boatmen leave afterward.
That island was not very far away. It did not take long for Feng Ruqing to reach it.
She saw that there was already a group of people on the island as soon as she docked her boat.
The group was led by a cute and lovely girl who was about thirteen or fourteen years old. However, her dress was ragged and even torn in some parts.
The people around her were not any better. Their clothes were also torn.
“Don’t you think that the Divine Herbs Sect is crazy? What are they thinking? They took my storage bag and stole my Tian Shen Manor’s token. How will they allow us to go back now?” The little girl was crying. Her eyes were red.
“Grandmother has been ill recently. I haven’t been able to invite a physician. I have even lost my token. I can’t go back.”
The more she thought about it, the more she could not hold back her tears.
Some time ago, the people of the Divine Herbs Sect went crazy and attacked the people from Tian Shen Manor. The storage bag and token were snatched. Later, the manor master led a group of people to avenge them. The manor master had even gathered his people who were not currently in Tian Shen Manor to join in. He intended to bring the girl and his people back.
But she chose to stay because of her grandmother’s illness.
Only recently did she remember…
Even if she could not go back for a while, she could ask her subordinates to ask for a token from the manor master.
How she could go home now?
“My lady…” The elder next to her sighed. “What about we send a letter to the family and ask them to send someone to pick us up. As long as we can prove our identities, we can go back to Tian Shen Manor.”
The little girl bit her lip. “No, you can’t let Grandmother know that I’ve been attacked, or she would be so worried. Her health condition is already poor. She can’t be provoked.”
“So…” The elder carefully suggested. “What about we just say that we have lost the token?”
The little girl frowned. She stood up after a while. She suddenly saw Feng Ruqing passing behind her when she was about to say something.
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
This young lady had a sleek appearance. She might not have been attacked by the Divine Herbs Sect. She might have a token with her.
“Hey, little beauty…”
The little girl was breathing fast. She hurried toward Feng Ruqing and blocked her.
Her face was as red as an apple—cute and supple.
Feng Ruqing stopped and frowned. When she started to feel impatient, a fair face appeared in front of her.
She consciously softened her voice a little. She still did not let her guard down because she did not know the girl. She asked, “Are you okay?”
“Little beauty, we have lost our token…” The little girl was a little embarrassed. “If you have a token with you, can you take us for a ride? You can rest assured that we will solve the tactical formations along the way. You don’t need to worry about it.”
Although everyone at Tian Shen Manor knew how to break the formation, it still required a lot of energy. Therefore, it would be best if she did not have to do it.
