"Qin Yi, it's great that you're alright."
Seeing Qin Yi's appearance, everyone's faces finally revealed a relaxed smile.
"I'm sorry, there was an accident on the way and we were delayed."
Qin Yi bowed deeply to the crowd. "I'm sorry for making everyone worry."
"It's nothing."
Chu Zhenghao said indifferently, "As long as you're safe, we're all relieved."
"That's right. To be honest, the past two days have been quite torturous for us. "
Yun Die 'er's voice carried a hint of resentment. "If it wasn't for Master stopping us, we would have rushed back already. You haven't changed at all. You always like to put yourself in danger alone. "
Qin Yi smiled. He didn't explain too much. He just stood there and let everyone talk.
In Leng Xingwen's eyes, this scene was extremely warm.
He had been in the army for many years and had climbed step by step to where he was today. Although he had achieved a lot, the comrades he had fought with were long gone.
Some had died on the battlefield, while others had become competitors or even enemies as their status rose.
Marshal Lu was one of them. The brothers who had been as close as brothers on the battlefield had unknowingly lost their original hearts. They had become rivals and enemies. For their own benefit, they had disregarded their friendship and tried to kill him!
To be honest, Leng Xingwen was quite lonely now. Because of this, he treasured Qin Yi so much that he was willing to go against the army for him.
Leng Xingwen had met all of Qin Yi's friends before. However, he had never felt so warm before.
Perhaps it was because he had just climbed out of the bottom.
"Hm?"
At this moment, Chu Zhenghao noticed Leng Xingwen standing next to Qin Yi. He said, "Isn't this Marshal Leng? What, you're here too? "
Although Qin Yi had said that he was going out, he didn't tell everyone where he was going. That was why Chu Zhenghao was so surprised to see Leng Xingwen.
Moreover, it could be heard from his tone that he was still a little guarded against Leng Xingwen.
To be honest, he did not have a good impression of Leng Xingwen.
After all, in the military, Leng Xingwen could be said to be a person who had completely abandoned his emotions and would do anything to achieve his goals.
In his eyes, the national interest was always above everything else.
However, it was obvious that everyone was disappointed in the country. Therefore, when everyone saw Leng Xingwen, they more or less felt some fear in their hearts.
Of course, Leng Xingwen could tell that Chu Zhenghao was wary of him. However, he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he laughed and said: "Brother Chu, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to call me Marshal Leng now. I'm no longer a member of the military. I'm just a homeless dog that has fallen into the water. "
Hearing his reply, Chu Zhenghao narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't say anything, the suspicion in his eyes was clear.
"Master, it's like this …"
Qin Yi also noticed this, so he hurriedly explained what had happened to the crowd.
After listening to the entire story, the crowd's gazes finally eased up.
"Hmph! I didn't expect the generals and marshals that I've always admired to be so evil! "
Liu Rong snorted coldly and shook her head in disappointment.
Liu Fu also chimed in, "Although father has always mentioned the emperor's incompetence, I didn't expect the higher-ups of the military to have such a side to them. As expected, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked! "
…
As they spoke, the crowd's attitude toward Leng Xingwen slowly changed. Evidently, they were beginning to accept the once-mighty marshal.
"Brother Leng …"
Chu Zhenghao walked over and patted Leng Xingwen's shoulder. "Since you have nowhere else to go, why don't you stay on Chi Tong Island with me? We can look after each other! It just so happens that you can also give some pointers to these two disciples of mine. "
When Leng Xingwen heard this, he hurriedly said, "Since Brother Chu has put it that way, I shall shamelessly stay here."
Seeing that Leng Xingwen had finally been accepted by the crowd, Qin Yi felt a little gratified.
With this, the last thing he needed to do in Jade Willow Country was finally done. Qin Yi could finally leave without any regrets.
"I reckon that everyone hasn't had a good rest over the past few days. Let's stay on Chi Tong Island for one more day to conserve our energy. We'll leave tomorrow morning."
"Alright!"
Hearing this, the crowd excitedly agreed. It was obvious that they had been looking forward to leaving for a long time.
Immediately, the group returned to the village from the beach. They each chose a place to stay and prepared to rest.
However, Qin Yi did not immediately rest. After sending everyone back, he returned to the beach alone.
"Is this place really safe?"
Evidently, the existence of Chi Tong Island was no longer a secret to many people. It was just that no one knew its exact location.
If someone really wanted to find it, it was unlikely that they would be able to hide it.
"Why don't we make some changes to this place before we leave?"
It was true that Qin Yi had helped to set up a formation on Chi Tong Island. However, these formations could at most defend against low-level enemies like the Wild Wave Sect.
If someone were to come knocking on his door, it would not be someone of that level. Furthermore, this formation would be even more useless.
"All the materials in the storage ring are complete. Let's start setting them up now."
Qin Yi did not hesitate at all and immediately called out the Illusionary Cloud Divine Hound from the scroll space. It had a certain level of attainment in the field of formations, so it could be of great help.
Although there wasn't much time, with the two of them around, they managed to set up a rather high-level defensive formation.
Qin Yi was very confident that with this formation, it would be impossible for experts below the Half-Step Heavenly Stage to break in. With the help of such a formation, Chu Zhenghao and the others could live in seclusion without any worries.
