"This man named Asheng looks like an ordinary person with weak constitution, his white hair is a little more eye-catching."

Zang Tao calmly withdrew his gaze, picked up the wine jar in his hand and sipped it.

"He should be in a few years."

"He's going to die?"

Kang Qi immediately said in surprise.

"Didn't you notice the strong dead air emitted from him? I smelled this special smell that only dying people have from a distance."

Zang Tao said lightly.

"...You are right, he does have a scent of decay on his body."

When Kang Qi heard this, he couldn't help but look at the white-haired middle-aged man in the distance, and said thoughtfully.

"The girl next to him who looks like a boy is the best seedling in your mouth, right?"

Zang Tao inadvertently changed the topic.

"Yes, her name is Zhou Xiaoyu, why? Are you interested in calling her over to meet?"

Kang Qi smiled.

"No need, I have seen many good seedlings along the way, and there is no shortage of her."

Said.

Zang Tao stood up lazily and stretched his body, holding the wine jar head and said without looking back.

"I'll go back to the boat first, and leave the rest of the matter to you."

"Brother Zang walk slowly."

Kang Qi stood up at the same time and hugged Zang Tao's back, then walked towards the crowd gathered by the dock.

"Uncle Asheng, have you seen it? That's the giant wave we're going to ride later..."

Pier shore.

Zhou Xiaoyu pointed to the giant ship docking at the pier and said happily.

"Hmph! Fuss..."

Not far apart, a young-faced boy couldn't help but sneer at Zhou Xiaoyu's cry when he heard Zhou Xiaoyu's cheers.

"Gu Yong! What did you say?!"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaoyu, who had sharp ears, turned his head and stared at the boy with a smile.

"I said this ship is really big..."

The boy's face froze, and he turned his head and did not dare to look directly at Zhou Xiaoyu.

"Little Fish..."

The young man in gray hair patted Zhou Xiaoyu's shoulder lightly, and then smiled and nodded at a rich woman standing next to the boy.

The rich woman did not give the white-haired middle-aged man a good look, and pulled the boy up and walked towards the crowd on the other side.

There are many people gathering on the shore.

Most of these are relatives and friends who send children who have passed the selection to the pier to board the boat.

The South Twenty-Three Islands have a population of about 700,000.

However, there were only a few sixteen children who passed the Tianmen preliminary examination this time.

All islanders living under the rule of Tianmen know that once they pass the initial examination of Tianmen, they will embark on a path that changes their destiny.

Even though he failed to pass the third examination of Tianmen in the end, Tianmen still had the ability to make full use of his talents. Even if he was not as arrogant as an inner disciple, his outer disciple was afraid and respected in front of ordinary islanders.

For example, the current island owner Kang Qi.

Back then, he gradually became the lord of the island from an outer disciple.

"Xiaoyu, is your mother really not coming to give you it?"

Although the gray-haired middle-aged man and Zhou Xiaoyu were in the crowd, the people around him seemed to be alienating the two of them intentionally or unintentionally.

no way.

It’s really that Zhou Xiaoyu has “offended” too many people.

Basically, the children who passed the selection this time have been beaten up by Zhou Xiaoyu more than one time.

You should know that it is common to practice martial arts and practice, but they can't resist being beaten and injured every time. It would be their own children. If Zhou Xiaoyu was a boy, it would be fine, but she was a girl. A group of big boys could not even beat a girl. Where can I put her face?

So there is an indescribable embarrassment when we get along with each other, so we just want to turn a blind eye.

"Mom said that she would not come to see me off with Uncle Asheng. Anyway, she has said everything she should say, and only let me listen to uncle's words in the future and take good care of myself..."

Zhou Xiaoyu immediately felt depressed.

"Maybe your mother doesn't come to see you off, but she just doesn't want to add more sadness and sadness when parting."

The young voice in the gray hair comforted.

"Uncle Asheng, did you do this when you left home?"

Zhou Xiaoyu looked at the giant ship in the distance with confusion.

"It's almost the same. I remember when I was away from home and went to study for the first time, my uncle's parents came to see me off. I felt really uncomfortable at that time, and I almost couldn't help but shed tears. When my uncle left home a few years later, my uncle's parents said to be careful and then let my uncle leave alone..."

The young man sighed with gray hair.

"...It's probably because my uncle is a boy."

Zhou Xiaoyu said silently for a moment.

"But you are stronger and braver than many boys."

The middle-aged man said softly.

"quiet!"

At this time.

Kang Qi came to the crowd with his subordinates, and then a man with a loud voice shouted loudly.

soon.

The originally chaotic scenes suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were all focused on Kang Qi in front of him.

“Let’s click on the name to delist.”

Seeing this, Kang Qi glanced at the crowd with a smile on his face, and then nodded slightly to the man beside him.

The man who received the sign immediately took out a list from his arms and began to call out loud one by one.

“Taoda Stone.”

"Gu Yong."

"Brother Liu San."

"Lingshu... and Zhou Xiaoyu."

After the half-aged children reluctantly left their parents and left the list, Zhou Xiaoyu couldn't help but tighten the big hand with white haired middle-aged beside him nervously.

Until she calls her name.

Zhou Xiaoyu couldn't help but take a deep breath. She looked up at the white-haired middle-aged man, and slowly walked out of the crowd after getting the other party's peace of mind.

"Come with me."

Kang Qi looked at the half-grown children who were not missing in front of him, and without saying a word, he led them towards the giant ship docked at the dock.

"This... the island master... didn't you say during the selection and assessment before that you could be allowed to leave with your relatives?"

Zhou Xiaoyu followed Kang Qi in a daze and came to the wooden ladder extending down the giant ship on the wharf.

But before getting on the boat, she stopped and looked at Kang Qi nervously.

"Don't worry, my relatives will arrange to take another boat at that time. I remember mentioning this matter after the assessment. Why, have you forgotten?"

Kang Qi has a good impression of Zhou Xiaoyu, so his attitude seems quite gentle.

"So that's it..." Zhou Xiaoyu suddenly realized after hearing this, and then said a little embarrassedly. "Sorry, the island owner, I was careless and forgot about this matter."

"It's okay, hurry up and get on the boat."

Kang Qi waved his hand and smiled unconcernedly.

"Puff..."

After hearing the conversation between the two, someone suddenly laughed.

"Um?!"

The sensitive Zhou Xiaoyu immediately looked up at the boys on the wooden ladder with her eyebrows raised. Soon, her attention was focused on a familiar figure.

Gu Yong!

You will be dead later!

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xiaoyu walked up the wooden ladder. When she was about to board the boat, she subconsciously turned around and looked towards the shore of the pier.

It was not until she saw a conspicuous figure waved at her that she breathed a sigh of relief and jumped onto the board.

"Let's click on the relatives whose names are listed below."

shore.

The man with a loud voice spoke again.

Not long after.

The white-haired middle-aged man walked out of the crowd with a group of men and women. The man in charge of the name glanced casually, and nodded coldly without confirming it.
