Eternal Sword

Chapter 334 Getting closer

This cargo ship is quite large, with five floors of cabins alone.

Chen Tang walked around it, looking here and there, occasionally stopping to listen.

After a long time, he came from the top floor to the bottom floor of the cabin. It was dark and damp, loaded with all kinds of sundries and goods, and various wooden boxes were placed there.

Chen Tang looked around below but didn't see a single person.

He thought for a moment, and suddenly said to the air around him: "Thank you for your help before. I brought you some food."

There was silence all around, and no one responded.

Chen Tang put the packed food aside and said, "Eat it. I'm leaving first."

After saying that, he turned and left.

After Chen Tang left, half an hour passed and there was no movement here.

After a long time, a figure slowly emerged from the dark corner of the cabin ceiling, like a ghost, and came to the place where Chen Tang had just stood, looking at the wrapped food, as if thinking about something.

This figure is extremely thin, with ordinary looks, and eyes that are pitch black like a pool of stagnant water. He is none other than the top of the Dark List - Guiyin!
How could he find me?
Guiyin tilted his head slightly, feeling a little confused.

She shook her wrist, and a gray dagger slipped into her palm.

She stretched out her dagger, gently lifted the outer oil paper, and saw the food inside.

She took out a silver needle and tried them one by one.

Not poisonous.

Guiyin thought about it and realized that he was indeed hungry, so he picked up the dry food and started eating.

While eating, I thought: "This guy brought me food again, what does he want to do?"

We clearly agreed that day that after today, I wouldn't hold back when we meet again. Now that he's running here, isn't he afraid that I'll kill him?

In the darkness, Guiyin was alone, eating quietly, chewing slowly, without making any sound.

She still ate very little, and stopped when she was about three-quarters full.
-
Chen Tang returned to his guest room, thinking about what had just happened.

In fact, he didn't find the ghost.

But according to Shen Yu's description, there should be someone who killed all the hermits who had boarded the ship before.

Moreover, the whole process was so silent that even Shen Yu and his group didn’t know what had happened!
The bodies of these hermits sank to the bottom of the sea, so the sea surface was dyed red with blood.

In Hermit Island, he only knows a few people, and only three of them have this ability.

As the owner of Shadow Tower, Yun Niang must have strong cultivation level, but precisely because of this identity, it is impossible for her to help him.

The blind fortune teller came and went without a trace. The two times he helped him before were both because he had given money to the blind fortune teller.

In his words, it means taking money from people and helping them get rid of their misfortunes.

There is another person, Guiyin.

Guiyin came forward to help him, perhaps because of a meal on New Year's Day.

This action was considered as returning a favor to him, and the two of them no longer owed each other anything.

If Guiyin stayed on the boat, he might not have given up on assassinating him!

Therefore, Chen Tang decided to look around to see if he could find any trace of the ghost.

He searched in vain.

But after arriving at the cabin on the bottom floor and seeing the surrounding environment, based on his understanding of hermits over the past few days, this was indeed the most suitable place to hide his tracks.

Moreover, after he entered the state of divine illumination, he vaguely sensed something unusual here.

If nothing unexpected happens, the ghost is hiding here!
Chen Tang’s idea was very simple. He left the food there. As long as Guiyin ate it, it would be difficult to assassinate him next time.

The existence of Guiyin still brings him considerable pressure, which is even not weaker than that of the third-grade upper Yin!

It would be best if we could get close to Guiyin and make her give up the assassination.

Even if he can't, delay it for a while. Once he breaks through to the fourth level, Guiyin will not be a big threat anymore.

Next, Chen Tang's daily routine was to practice his own skills, give some pointers to Shen Yu on his practice, chat with Ye Yushi casually, exchange martial arts experiences, and then pack some food and put it in the cargo hold on the bottom floor.

Every time he came here, Chen Tang would say a few words to himself.

"You have a good appetite. There was not a single drop of the food I brought you last time."

"How is your arm injury? I'll get you some external medicine next time."

"The last time you were injured, it wasn't because you were weak, it was because I had the upper hand. If there's a chance, let's have a good fight with each other using the Dragon Capturing Skill."

"You eat so much, how come you're not fat at all?"

"Do you want me to bring you more food next time?" Guiyin had gotten used to listening to Chen Tang's mumbling every day.

However, every time she heard Chen Tang say that she ate a lot, she still felt a little unhappy and couldn't help but refute.

She obviously eats very little!
It was just that the leftovers, if left in the cargo ship, would easily arouse suspicion, so she secretly threw the remaining food into the sea.

tenth day.

"You're such a big eater, you're almost catching up with me. I brought you a lot of delicious food today..."

Listening to Chen Tang's muttering, Guiyin finally couldn't bear it anymore, walked out from the shadows, came to Chen Tang with an expressionless face, and looked at him coldly.

"Oh, you're out?"

Chen Tang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Just right, it's still warm."

Guiyin clenched his fist.

She is not a glutton, so who would think about food all day long?

She eats just to maintain her strength. She doesn't care whether the food is delicious or not, cold or hot!
Chen Tang pushed all the food he had packed in front of Guiyin and said, "Eat quickly. Look how hungry the child is. He even ran out today."

Guiyin really wanted to kill the man in front of him with a knife to make him shut up.

But she can't.

Under Chen Tang's gaze, Guiyin silently picked up the dry food and started eating, without touching even a bite of meat or vegetables.

After eating just a small amount, Guiyin stopped.

"I'm watching here, are you embarrassed?"

Chen Tang said: "How about I leave and you can eat as much as you want."

Guiyin did not answer, but packed up the remaining food and threw it all into the sea in front of Chen Tang.

Chen Tang: “…”

Such a waste.

"No wonder you're so thin."

Chen Tang was stunned for a long while, then started to mutter again, "You need to eat more. Your face is pale and your hair is split. If you don't know, you might think you've been abused."

"Let me tell you, I have a little sister. She used to be as miserable as you, but after following me for a short time, she became plump and white..."

Thinking of Zhiwei, Chen Tang couldn't help but sigh.

When parting with these old friends, the one he missed the most was Zhiwei.

After all, she is still young and alone, learning skills from the Xuantian Sect. She doesn't know if she will have the chance to see him again.

"what's your name?"

Chen Tang turned around and asked.

Guiyin glanced at Chen Tang indifferently and ignored him.

"I know you are Guiyin."

Chen Tang said: "But Guiyin is just your nickname. You must have a real name."

Guiyin was silent for a moment, then raised his finger and pointed at his mouth.

"Mute girl?"

Chen Tang asked tentatively.

He had heard Yunniang mention it once.

Guiyin nodded slightly.

"Not good, not good."

Chen Tang shook his head and said, "This name doesn't sound nice. Besides, it's not really a name. How much do you remember about your childhood? Your nickname, your childhood name, etc. Do you have any impression?"

The ghost hid himself and bowed his head without saying a word.

After a while, she used some water to write a word on the wooden box: "Leave."

"Leave?"

Chen Tang asked: "Ali?"

Guiyin didn't answer, as if agreeing.

　Many thanks to Xian Siyu for the 48,000 book coins reward, which made me the fifth leader. Sorry, I'm a bit stuck, so there's only one update tonight. Everyone go to bed early, and I'll update more after I sort it out.
