Number seven quickly understood what song qingxiao was trying to say. No matter how young a person was, they couldn’t be underestimated.
“You mean…”
No. 7 hesitated for a moment. On the second floor of the ship in the distance, Shirley was still looking in their direction.
She was on her guard, but she still kept a nonchalant expression on her face.
Mr. Zhou, you intend to take us to a remote island, and there are strange things nearby?”
Song qingxiao didn’t comment. From the current clues, Mr. Zhou’s intention was very obvious. He was ready to kill people to silence them. This trial might need everyone to work together. Therefore, when they got close to the island, she wanted to give number seven some advice.
However, because she had a grudge with young man number six, even if this trial needed everyone to cooperate to complete it, she would still kill young man number six after it was over, strangling the danger in its budding stage.
Therefore, it was best to only give half of the tip. It would be best if the young man number six could be injured in the trial, so it would be convenient for her to take action.
If these trial-takers who had formed an alliance did not believe her, then they would have to see if there was a second plan for the trial. If they had no other choice, they might have to follow Mr. Zhou’s wishes and keep this group of people on the island!
After number seven said this, he laughed again,”
“Maybe you’re thinking too much?”
Her voice was very soft, but the doubt in her words was obvious.
She was more suspicious of trial-takers like song qingxiao than Mr. Zhou and the others.
From No. 7’s point of view, no matter how powerful or rich Mr. Zhou and the others were in this trial scene, they were just characters set in the game and couldn’t cause any trouble.
On the other hand, song qingxiao, who was also a participant, had experienced several trials and exchanged for items in the trial space. The young man had fought with her before and probed her. Although they separated very quickly, song qingxiao had still left a wound on number six’s hand.
Although number six was very reluctant, he had revealed to the few people who had formed a temporary Alliance that song qingxiao was a threat. He did not know how strong she was in other aspects, but she was very strong in martial arts.
Number six might have exaggerated song qingxiao’s strength because of the conflict between him and her. But no matter what, number seven didn’t really trust song qingxiao. He was afraid that she would play some tricks.
“Maybe.”
After song Qing’s reminder, she refused to believe it, so she did not waste any more time.
Number seven had said that in the hope that she could explain herself, but who knew that she would nod and admit it after she revealed her suspicion? this feeling was like she had accumulated her strength to punch, but she hit soft cotton. It was an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
it’s not new for the boat to be very fast or for there to be no fish nearby.
Number seven couldn’t help but add. Young general song Qing turned his eyes to the fishing rod and ignored her.
When she didn’t get a response, number Seven’s face turned ugly. She stood at the side for a while, and when song qingxiao ignored her, she went back to the team resentfully.
The refined scholar glanced at her unhappy face and asked her a few questions in a low voice. Number seven said a few words and the few of them laughed.
When song qingxiao pulled the hook back, he found that half of the bait was still there. He changed the bait and repeated the previous action. Before he threw the bait in, he heard footsteps behind him.
Shirley, who had been staring at her from the second floor, came down and walked straight to her.
This woman was quite arrogant. Other than being respectful to Mr. Zhou, she was not polite to anyone else. Number Seven’s outstanding social skills at that time had also been defeated by her.
Ever since the trial-taker had boarded the ship, almost everyone who tried to strike up a conversation with her had failed.
She rarely went out of the cabin. To be precise, she rarely left Mr. Zhou’s side. This time, she rarely came out. Number seven and the others saw her walking towards song qingxiao, and they couldn’t help but have a strange expression on their faces.
“Any gains?”
When Shirley came over, she didn’t deliberately stop walking. Her long, straight hair was tied up behind her head, revealing her delicate face with makeup.
“No, I didn’t,”
Song Qing looked down at the bucket beside his feet. The water in the bucket was rippling due to the driving force generated by the ship’s movement. It had been more than three hours, but it was empty.
I wanted to have an extra meal at night, but perhaps because of my poor skills, no fish is willing to take the bait.
“Maybe there are no fish in the nearby waters.”
Compared to number seven, Xue Li was undoubtedly quite smart. She quickly understood the meaning behind song Qing’s words. She pursed her lips, wondering if song Qing had guessed what she had said that night.
“It’s possible.”
Song qingxiao smiled and stood up. She stretched and looked into the distance. The clouds in the distance were thick. Since noon, the sun had been blocked by a large number of thick dark clouds. The sea and the sky met in the distance, giving people a feeling that the sky was about to fall.
The wind on the side of the ship was very strong, and Xue Li’s dress fluttered in the wind. For no reason, Xue Li felt a little upset. She had received a response from song qingxiao, but this did not make her feel any more at ease.
“The wind is getting stronger. Since no fish took the bait, let’s harvest them earlier.”
She turned around and walked away. After a few steps, she stopped and said something. Song Qing’s small mouth curved up and replied,”
the wind is strong, so it might rain soon. Let’s wait a little longer. Maybe we’ll get something.
Xue Li had already walked toward the ship’s cabin. Number seven was hesitating to come over and ask her what she wanted to say, but song qingxiao did not give her the chance. She turned around and looked at the sea.
After Xue Li left, song qingxiao did not restrain herself. Instead, she became even more aggressive. She asked the people on the boat to send over a few more sets of fishing equipment, put on bait, and threw them down.
After more than two hours, song Qing noticed that the dark clouds around them were denser than before. Everyone had already noticed the impending storm.
Dinner was prepared earlier than usual on the ship. The people on the ship pushed the food out before it got dark.
She queued up to get her meal. The person scooping rice for her looked up at her and bent down to take out a box of carefully prepared seafood from the dining cart.
The people around noticed this scene and were stunned at first. The person who handed out the food smiled and said,”
“Miss Zhou has ordered an extra meal for you.”
The other people who heard this had different expressions. Some were envious, some were dissatisfied. The participants knew that the ‘miss Zhou’ that the person in charge of the food delivery was talking about was the woman beside Mr. Zhou, but they didn’t expect that this woman, who was always so cold to others, would treat song qingxiao so specially.
Song qingxiao only noticed how the man addressed Xue Li. Her surname was Zhou, which was the same as Mr. Zhou’s. Since they were not related by blood, she followed Mr. Zhou’s surname. This made song qingxiao recall that she had once said that she was sponsored by Mr. Zhou.
This surname was probably also a way to repay a debt of gratitude.
When the other people who were hired on the ship saw her take the box of exquisite food, someone complained jokingly,”
they’re both employed by Mr. Zhou. Why does she have it, but we don’t…
Song qingxiao didn’t pay any attention to these words. Before the people who were giving out food could explain, number seven suddenly shouted,”
“It’s moving!” Her excited voice interrupted everyone’s complaints. Everyone looked in the direction of her finger and indeed saw one of the fishing rods fixed on the side of the ship shake twice.
After song qingxiao told her that no fish had taken the bait, number seven had kept it in mind even though he had refuted her. He had been paying attention to the fishing rods with the bait. About one or two seconds ago, one of the fishing rods that had been quiet suddenly dropped as if it was hooked by something heavy. Song qingxiao turned around and saw the rod shaking. After several hours of not getting anything, a fish had finally taken the bait!
As soon as number seven finished speaking, the first fishing rod moved. Immediately after, the second and third fishing rods prepared by song qingxiao began to shake violently.
It was as if they had made an agreement. If they didn’t take the bait, none of them would take the bait. Once they took the bait, they would come in groups..
