"Dad, the uncle in the east room is out." When Ye Bao came back from the sea, he heard his youngest son running out, hugging his legs and yelling loudly.
Ouch, little ancestor, can you please stop speaking so loudly? ! Ye Bao panicked and held the little guy down, preventing him from opening his small mouth and continuing to leak words.
If someone nearby listens to the good deeds, it will be fine if they meet a heartless person. But if they meet a shady and insidious villain, and people guess what is going on, their whole family will have to be involved.
Ye Bao's family has been living a good life recently because of the support from important people. Although the old and the weak in the family were ordered not to discuss related matters or even show any abnormality, people's spirit cannot be concealed.
Most of the people who hang around in the periphery and are not allowed to enter the city are the descendants of monks who have fallen into disarray. Some are forced to come out to make a living because their families are too poor to make a living in the inner city, or they are driven out because their family is poor and have poor qualifications. There are also some who remain anonymous for unknown reasons... In short, the inner city The outer circle is very complex, with everyone included.
But no matter which one it is, most days are unsatisfactory. They live frugally and have to worry about exchanging spiritual stones and other basic resources for monks. With such a meager income, their lives are no different from those of ordinary people.
Ye Bao was originally one of them. Because his father was ill and died young, his family arranged a marriage for him early and gave birth to a son early, and his life was even more embarrassing. Because from now on he not only has to live for himself, but also has to save enough capital for his younger son so that he can leave here and enter the inner city as soon as possible.
They all live nearby, and each knows how to count. Who doesn’t know that the Ye family is so poor that they barely have enough money for their pants? But something doesn't look right lately. Although the clothes are shabby, the faces of the female family members are more rosy than the last, and the fatigue in the past is washed away.
This quickly sparked speculation among some. Although he didn't run in a too outrageous direction for the time being, he still attracted unnecessary attention.
Ye Bao was just an ordinary person. He had illegally taken in foreign monks. Naturally, he was as frightened as a frightened bird and could not sleep peacefully.
But he is sensible and knows how to repay kindness. Although he saved the other party at first, the other party later gave them enough to give their family a new lease of life. After the other party leaves and works hard for two more years, they might be able to leave here and move to the inner city.
The lord has given them enough. Could it be that he couldn't bear to be worried and scared for a while?
That adult is also a worry-free person. He never goes out and just borrows an empty room as he said. They probably used some magic to hide their whereabouts, but the colleagues who visited that day didn't notice it and completely ignored that room.
Therefore, Ye Bao felt somewhat relieved despite his worries. I hope this big shot will get better soon, so that everyone can end such a "fearful" life. Although he got a lot of benefits, he was really an ordinary person and couldn't stand such stimulation.
After comforting his youngest son, Ye Bao took time to think about the meaning of his child's words.
Out?
This was the first time since the other party came to his house. The other party had never let them see him when he went out before, and he had never met his family. This was the first time. Could it be that there is something wrong with the other party?
Ye Bao was stunned for a moment, then picked up his youngest son and walked into the yard.
Entering the courtyard, as expected, I saw that tall and straight figure standing in the small courtyard. The corners of the bamboo green robe were incompatible with the gray ground.

Ning Xia was surprised to find that the cultivators below were not surprised when they heard this, but they actually had a look of resignation that said, "Sure enough, it is so."
This confirmed her previous suspicion that these people were in a semi-confinement situation for some unknown reason, and Master Zheng and his group were temporarily "looking after" them. And according to what they said, they would continue this kind of trial work. Before that, they would go to Cloud Island and wait.
The imprisoned people, restricted freedom, gathering together to carry out certain work related to Wanfang Sea Area... these all gave Ningxia a strange feeling in his heart.
And...the Alliance. This is the third time Ningxia has heard this word. From what I heard, I knew it was a group. Could it be that the organization she was in now was called an alliance.
It's strange. This is the first time Ningxia has heard of it. He has never heard of such a name in real life or in the original book. I guess it's another well-hidden "secret organization".
After a round of analysis, they were all vague and specious clues. Ningxia's brain was mixed into a ball of mush and she couldn't help but have a headache. If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Ningxia is not an obsessed person.
Moreover, she always felt that these messy things that made her tangled up were gradually appearing in front of her in a way of unraveling the cocoons.
————————————————
In the end, Ning Xia and others were "packed" away by Yifei Zhou, which made Ning Xia a little disappointed. She also thought that the other party would take some more special way to get to Yundao. The result was another airship voyage.
The last time the airship sailed, not long ago, it was also in this sea area, and it encountered an unprecedented disaster that could not even be called nameless. Standing on the flying boat again, Ning Xia still subconsciously felt a few traces of panic that she was not even aware of.
Fortunately, it is said that the desert island station where they gathered is not far from Yun Island. If they pass directly, it only takes half a day to reach them.
They were now walking through a special passage dedicated to the alliance, and the stability and safety were guaranteed to a certain extent. In the end, everything went smoothly, and the group arrived at the nearest Rain Island, head to tail.
Yes, they went to the nearby Rain Island first instead of going directly to Cloud Island.
It's not impossible in theory, but it can't be done.
Even the Twelve Islands are divided into upper three islands, five major islands and four connected islands. Each island has a different structure and governance method.
Yun Dao is one of the three upper islands, and it is also the most high-profile family among the three upper islands. Cloud Island is a dictatorship of one family, and the fifth family rules this land. They have absolute autonomy over this small island. The remaining two islands on the upper three islands, Thunder Island and Kirishima, rarely communicate with the outside world. Their situation and strength are unknown.
The five major islands are also governed by families like the three islands above, but unlike Yun Island, they are jointly governed by several families, with the forces of all parties competing, and there will not be a situation where one family dominates. But most of them are also conservative. They live in their own little land and don't like to interact with outsiders.
The Silian Island is the most open force among the Twelve Islands, consisting of four interconnected islands. Unlike the Upper Three Islands and the Five Major Islands, they are autonomous by local residents. Although there are also powerful families, these families tend to guard this place and generally do not check the internal affairs of the island.
