The second update, seeking subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~~...
"Let's go..."
Qin Fang stood on the ship, merely glancing at the three people in the water before instructing Chen Liang.
"Yes, Uncle..."
Seeing that Qin Fang had no intention of saving them, Chen Liang quickly replied, then hurriedly rowed out to sea with Ling Fei and Fang Lin. The location of the ship was not necessarily easy to find, and they didn't want to waste time.
As for Song Zhiwei and the others' fate, he couldn't care less now.
These three were up to no good, so naturally, they had to be punished... Whether they could survive depended on their luck.
If not for Qin Fang's lack of intention to kill them, Chen Liang and the others might have even wanted to finish them off... At such a perilous time, they didn't think of sticking together, but of sectarian prejudice and mutual killing. They deserved to die!
With a boat, the four of them found things much easier. Although finding the ship took a bit of time, luckily, no accidents happened. In over an hour, they finally boarded the ship.
"Uncle, everyone... is dead!"
But when the four of them boarded the ship, they found all the crew had been killed, not a single survivor left. "Damned bastards, it must be those Japanese..."
"What do we do now?"
"All the crew are dead, even with the ship, we can't go back..."
Having finally found hope, it was now shattered, almost driving Chen Liang and the others insane, running and shouting around the ship, as if they truly had no way out.
"Right, the radio... We can use the ship's radio to contact the island and have them send people to rescue us!"
Chen Liang quickly thought of a solution and immediately rushed to the captain's cabin, intending to contact the island for rescue.
"Signal is jammed; can't send anything out... Quickly find the signal jamming device, quick!"
But soon he discovered, to his dismay, that the signal was jammed. Originally meant to prevent information leaks, the signal couldn't be sent out for rescue.
The ship was equipped with a signal jamming device, but only the captain knew its location... Now that the captain was dead, no one knew where it was, and they had to find it themselves.
Thus, Chen Liang, Ling Fei, and Fang Lin divided up to search for the signal jamming device...
As for Qin Fang, they dared not give orders to him, so they left him alone as if he had become invisible... Perhaps in their minds, though Qin Fang's strength was formidable, even the strongest martial skills couldn't save them at sea.
"What is this?"
Since boarding the ship, Qin Fang stood there, watching Chen Liang and the others talk and act on their own, not even bothering to ask him, leaving Qin Fang unable to help but smile bitterly.
"Forget it, I won't bother with you..."
However, seeing Chen Liang and the others so hurried, Qin Fang shook his head, not bothering with them but heading towards the cockpit.
Click click click click~~~
Before long came the sound of the anchor lifting.
"Hey, what's that sound?"
Busy with their tasks, Chen Liang and the others stopped in unison to listen, each displaying a very odd expression, clearly not expecting such a change.
"Sounds like the anchor lifting..."
Though they're not crew, listening carefully a few times, they understood the sound's source.
"The ship... it's moving!"
To their immense shock, the ship began to move.
"What's going on?"
The three were dumbfounded, staring blankly for a long time before rushing towards the cockpit, abandoning the search for the signal jamming device... They wanted to see what was going on.
"Uncle?"
"Uncle?"
"Granduncle?"
But upon reaching the cockpit, they saw Qin Fang at the helm, their eyes widened nearly out of their sockets... The scene before them was utterly unexpected.
"You've arrived! Did you find the signal jamming device?"
Qin Fang appeared relaxed, steering the wheel while casually asking.
"Uh..."
The result was... the three people's faces instantly turned bright red, even the base of their ears felt hot.
"Um... Uncle, can you sail a boat?"
After a long while, Chen Liang finally asked awkwardly, looking at Qin Fang's relaxed demeanor. He seemed unlikely to be messing around.
"Yeah, I can..."
Qin Fang replied simply.
Undeniably, this was Qin Fang's first time sailing a boat, especially an ocean cruise... but not having sailed before didn't mean he couldn't sail. Reality had already proven that he did know how to sail, and appeared to be a seasoned sailor.
"Why didn't you tell us earlier..."
Chen Liang and the others exchanged looks, each feeling frustrated, and couldn't help but mumble quietly.
"You never asked..."
Qin Fang disdainfully glanced at them.
These three guys, the moment they got on the boat, were chattering away... from beginning to end, they never asked Qin Fang.
And when Qin Fang was about to tell them he could sail, these three were busy searching for the signal-blocking device to send a radio signal for rescue, never giving Qin Fang a chance to speak.
Since he didn't have the chance to say it, he had to do it himself...
Don't forget, Qin Fang had a frequently-used yet often overlooked skill... Riding Skill.
It was because of this special skill that Qin Fang could easily control various mounts. The types of mounts here were many, including horses, donkeys, tigers, leopards, and other beasts, as well as bicycles, cars, ships, planes, and these modes of transportation.
However, with the different complexities of these modes of transportation, different levels of Riding Skills are required...
The cruise in front of him wasn't too simple to control, more troublesome than bicycles and cars, but Qin Fang's Riding Skill was at Grandmaster Level... as he estimated himself, unless it was a particularly complex mode of transportation, it wouldn't be difficult for him.
Reality proved this point too, as the cruise sailed smoothly under Qin Fang's control, voyaging back toward the main island, and Qin Fang could easily and proficiently use all kinds of maritime equipment and instruments aboard, seamlessly like a seasoned old sailor.
"Phew~~~"
Hearing Qin Fang's answer, Chen Liang and the others felt relieved yet didn't know what to say. It all ended in a bitter smile, but they breathed a long sigh of relief, at least Qin Fang could sail, ensuring their safe return to land.
"By the way, what are your plans?"
Sailing wasn't particularly busy; once the route was set, autopilot could take over, requiring no one to watch closely. Qin Fang relaxed and started chatting with Chen Liang and the others.
"Plans? What plans?"
Chen Liang and the others were puzzled by Qin Fang's question, unsure of his meaning.
"You don't think this is the end, do you?"
Seeing their expressions, Qin Fang truly wanted to slap the foolishness out of them, "With the Japanese involved, it's basically destined that the secret of this Little Island cannot remain hidden..."
"Yeah, it surely can't stay hidden... but what does that have to do with us?"
Chen Liang still didn't quite understand, seemingly thinking it wasn't a big deal. After all, they'd already grabbed some good stuff. With Tian Nan Sect's power, they likely couldn't delve deep into the island; the subsequent events had nothing to do with them.
"We might be the only ones alive who walked out from that Little Island..."
Qin Fang just gave him a calm look and said slowly, "And I personally am about to settle my issues here and will soon leave the island, making it basically difficult for them to find me..."
"Hiss~~~"
Upon hearing Qin Fang's words, Chen Liang and the others realized the seriousness of the matter.
Qin Fang was going to leave, others basically couldn't find him, even if they did, Qin Fang had enough strength to protect himself... Conversely, the three of them were completely different.
No one else walked out alive, only the few of them came out alive, so what exactly is on the island? What treasures did they get? And why did everyone else die... all these questions will become a huge problem.
With their strength and Tian Nan Sect's overall power... it would be difficult to ensure their survival. Even the Tian Nan Sect itself might not withstand such tremendous pressure.
The Japanese certainly wouldn't speak up; they killed so many people, and if exposed, all Martial Sects on the Little Island would become trouble for them. The Ando family might not be afraid but wouldn't dare be too arrogant.
"Uncle, what should we do?"
Understanding this, Chen Liang and the others looked at Qin Fang with wry smiles, seeking his advice.
"I have a way to help you, but... everything about this Little Island must be buried inside you!"
Qin Fang smiled at this point.(To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
