withered prosperity

Until the end of that day, Pei Buyi still couldn't convince Xue Zhangdu that the fish's two front paws were connected.

The reason for Xue's length is very simple. If the front paws are really connected, how should the two hind paws be explained?

Either they are all connected, or they are all grown out. How can there be such absurd things as two claws connected and two identical ones grow out.

"What happened later?" Yan Hai asked.

"None of us can convince anyone, but Mr. Pei seems to be quite angry." Xue Changshou inserted the last needle into the acupuncture point and said with a smile: "The old man is really a little scared."

"What about Governor Xue's opinion?" Yan Hai lay on the couch with most of his shoulders exposed. He turned his head and looked at Xue Changduan: "What do you think about that fish?"

"All things are born with their own wonders and differences." Xue Changduan wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Maybe it's just a joke made by God."

Yan Hai followed him with a smile and didn't say anything else.

After a while, Xue Changduan pulled out the needle and put it away, then said goodbye and left.

The weather was hot, and Yan Hai was sweating all over, so someone sent some water in to wash it off.

He had just taken off his clothes and sat in the tub behind the screen when suddenly someone rushed in rashly.

"Yan Hai!" The man said excitedly after entering, "I have figured out a way!"

"Oh?" Yan Hai recognized whose voice it was, so he didn't panic, and asked while sitting in the tub, "Mr. Pei?"

"I thought..." Pei Buyi didn't think too much, and walked over directly after identifying where he was.

The two faced each other head-on.

"What did you think of?" Yan Hai lay on the edge of the large bathtub, and asked him indifferently: "But why does that fish have legs?"

Pei Buyi's face quickly flushed red.

"Xue, Xue Changduan said, you, you are..." He stammered: "In..."

"Take a bath in the room." Seeing his funny appearance, Yan Hai wanted to tease him: "So Mr. Pei wants to come in and have a look, doesn't he?"

In fact, he has changed back to the usual appearance in Chaomu Pavilion, but just soaked in the wooden barrel like this, his texture becomes more and more delicate, and his flesh and bones are more and more vivid.

Pei Buyi covered his lips and nose with his hand, turned and ran out without saying a word.

Yan Hai laughed, and slowly soaked until the water was slightly cool before getting out of the tub.

He straightened his clothes and walked out of the screen, and was stunned when he raised his head.

It was already dark, and the lights in the house hadn't been lit yet.

There was a man in black sitting on a chair in the room, looking at him intently.

"It's you?" Yan Hai walked aside and lit the lamp on the table.

The light brightened up, outlining the beautiful outline of Yue Liuyi.

"I'm working hard outside, but you can sit and enjoy it comfortably." She squinted at Yan Hai, who was blushing, "The things in this world are really unfair."

"How long have you been here?" Yan Hai walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water.

"Just when that miracle doctor with a nosebleed ran out." Yue Liuyi raised the corners of his mouth, "I never thought you would be so capable, and you could fascinate others even after being like this."

"What are you doing here?" Yan Hai sipped water, "Is everything done?"

"I thought about it after I went back that day, and I always felt that I was tricked by you." Yue Liuyi stood up: "You pushed all the problems to me all at once, not to mention the other people. But Yue Linghan has been missing for so many years, and there are so many people, where do you want me to look for?"

"If you're really that desperate to get back to the island, there's always a way."

"That's it." Yue Liuyi walked in front of him and told her real purpose of coming here: "To be honest, I did find some clues, but it might take me a lot of effort to trace them down, why don't you put them away first?" Give me the picture of the sea, so that my heart will be at ease."

"Okay." To her surprise, Yan Hai readily agreed.

Yan Hai walked to the desk and rolled up his sleeves: "I know you can't trust me, so I'll draw half of it for you first, and as long as you can find Yue Linghan, I'll finish it for you."

"That would be the best." When he said this, Yue Liuyi naturally wished for it: "Not to mention anything else, we are childhood sweethearts, and it is only natural for everyone to be honest. Come, let me help you sharpen your ink!"

But after a while, when she saw the "sea chart" drawn by Yan Hai, she couldn't laugh anymore.

If she had been more courageous, she would definitely have turned over the table and beaten this shameless person so far that he would not be able to recognize him.

But she dare not...

"This... what is this..." She trembled her hands, and asked in a calm tone as much as possible: "I remember that chart, it's not like this..."

On the piece of paper she was holding, there were curves representing water waves, other than that... nothing!

"After painting the sea, it's more than half done, isn't it?" Yan Hai put down his sleeves and walked over to refill a glass of water.

It's just that it doesn't matter whether it's hot or cold after taking a shower, but now he feels that the water temperature is too cold, so he put it down as soon as he touched his lips.

"Are you playing tricks on me?" Yue Liuyi impatiently threw the paper back on the table: "Yue Cuiwei, I don't want to waste time here with you."

"Then you should hurry up and find someone instead of playing tricks on me here. Or..." He looked at Yue Liuyi: "What situation have you encountered beyond your power? Or, what have you found that may affect I decided to go back to the island with you?"

"Sometimes I really feel that you are like a monster..." Yue Liuyi's face became a little ugly: "If, I mean if! If one of the seven people from that year can't go back with us, you... ...how will it be done?"

Yan Hai played with the cup in his hand, and remained silent for a while with a dignified expression. Yue Liuyi's heart was lifted into the air by his attitude.

"Actually, you have always misunderstood me." Yan Hai finally opened his mouth: "I insist on letting the seven of us return to the island together, not because of any strange conspiracy or other reasons, but because Without these seven people from the beginning, there is no way for us to return to the island."

"what?"

"Have you forgotten, what is the first obstacle after landing on the island?"

Yue Liuyi was taken aback for a moment, then his face turned pale.

"Wuli Xuesha..." she murmured.

"That's right, Wuli Xuesha." Yan Hai walked back to the desk, and pressed the paper full of curves back under the paperweight: "If you can't pass Wuli Xuesha, how can you talk about going to the island?"

"But what does this have to do with seven people?"

"Do you remember what I told you before breaking the Wuli Xuesha?"

"At that time, you told us that if we wanted to leave the island, we had to make a blood oath..." Yue Liuyi recalled the situation at that time: "We all agreed, and you let us one by one..."

Her eyes suddenly widened.

"Do you understand?" Yan Hai picked up the pen, added a few strokes in the corner, and drew a mountain: "At that time, I asked you to drip blood on that stone, not because I wanted you to take your oath I remember it unforgettable, but because the blood stone is the eye of the formation, only after absorbing the blood, Wuli Xuesha will not regard us as intruders, allowing us to pass through safely."

"But...why do you want the seven of us together..."

"The characteristics of Wuli Xuesha are like this. At that time, I used the blood of seven people to open the formation from the inside. If I want to open the passage from the outside, I must use the blood of the same seven people." Yan Hai sighed: "I I feel that there are many people is a good thing, in this way, the chance of being able to open Wuli Xuesha again is very small, who knows that it has become the biggest obstacle now."

Yue Liuyi's legs went limp, and she sat down on the chair.

"How could this be..." She seemed unable to accept this fact. "You must have lied to me."

"Is Yue Linghan dead, or is he not really dead?" The tip of the pen, full of ink, stopped in mid-air, and a drop of ink fell on the paper, blurring.

"There must be another way!" Yue Liuyi bit her lip, "Yue Cuiwei! You must have another way, right! Don't put on airs here, just say what you want!"

"If I had known that there would be today, none of you would have been brought out." Yan Hai put down his pen, "Okay, I'll tell you now, if you hadn't seriously injured me at the beginning, I would indeed have other ways to open the five doors." Li Xuesha, it's a pity that you didn't give me this chance!"

"That's all because..."

"Yes, it's all Yin Jiu's idea, you're just so stupid that he took advantage of you." Yan Hai raised the corners of his mouth, "That's right, Yin Jiu saw that you have a lot of fear and resentment towards me, so you have been instigating in many ways to make me You have murderous intentions towards me. But in the end, you are just pushing the boat along the way, so as to avoid future troubles, right?"

Yue Liuyi realized that she had nothing to say, so she could only smile wryly: "It's too late to say anything, it's useless for me to think I'm smart...I admit, I can't compare to you in my life."

"Okay, no need to talk nonsense, you haven't answered me yet, is it Yue Linghan or is he really dead?"

"I'm not sure yet, I just have this worry." Yue Liuyi showed a tired look: "I will inform you immediately when I have definite news."

"Wait." Yan Hai called to stop her. "You stop for me."

Yue Liuyi stopped with her back turned to him.

"Why do I feel...what's wrong?" Yan Hai stood on the spot, tilting his head slightly and thinking: "Since you can't be sure that Yue Linghan is dead or not, why did you look hopeless just now? Why... ...intentionally misleading me?"

"What did you say, how did I mislead you?" Yue Liuyi smiled dryly: "I'm just planning for the worst."

"No, that's not the case."

Yue Liuyi pushed open the window, and was about to come out the next moment, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What is that?"

Another voice broke in suddenly.

"That's just because you are Wei Heng's wife." He said, "Because the person you think 'can't' go back to the island is Wei Heng."
