The Ship-Raiding Bandits!

"You mean you didn't steal anything?" Ye Jing asked, raising an eyebrow as he held the girl in his arms.

"Waaah... Mmm..."

The girl nodded frantically.

"Dressed like that, you're not a thief?"

Ye Jing was somewhat bewildered; he was dressed entirely in a black thief's suit, with only his eyes showing.

She's also very fast and petite.

It perfectly meets all the requirements for being a thief.

And now you're telling me it's not true?

"Waaah... Waaah..." That was all the girl could make.

Helpless, Ye Jing had no choice but to put the girl down for the time being.

The girl seemed relieved, and appeared to be gesturing something with her hands.

Ye Jing watched the girl gesturing wildly in the air, somewhat bewildered.

He doesn't understand sign language either.

He didn't even know about his past life.

Not to mention the sign language that follows.

"You've already Heaven and Earth God Realm, why don't you use telepathy?" Ye Jing frowned and asked.

The girl paused, as if she understood something, and stopped gesturing wildly.

He then closed his eyes, and a thought flashed through his mind.

A pleasant, melodious voice echoed in Ye Jing's mind, "Senior, spare me! I really didn't steal that; it's mine!"

The girl stared longingly at the purse in Ye Jing's hand.

"Huh? Your own? But you were clearly there just now, and you even tried to attack me." Ye Jing frowned and asked.

"I only heard that someone was stealing, so I came out to see if I could take advantage of the chaos and find something cheap, but before I could even start, I ran into you, senior!"

The girl calmed down a bit, but there was a hint of resentment in her eyes. Although she had explained herself, the feeling of being carried was still unpleasant.

"So you mean you noticed some commotion on the ship and wanted to try and find some bargains?"

"Although your profession may still be that of a clown, you haven't caused any damage, right? Because I caught you right from the start?"

Ye Jing understood and summarized it briefly before speaking.

The girl nodded somewhat reluctantly in front of Ye Jing.

As a thief, she failed miserably.

"Very well, then I'll still hand you over to the ferry!" Ye Jing showed no mercy; even an attempted crime must be punished.

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."

The girl's expression froze, and she began shaking her head frantically.

But it didn't work, and Ye Jing soon handed her over to the ferry staff.

He didn't know what kind of punishment the girl would receive.

However, a lingering sense of crisis made him realize that the girl was not lying.

So where does the real danger come from?

Ye Jing continued to shuttle on the ferry.

There aren't many people loitering outside now, since the thief hasn't been caught yet.

In this chaotic world, only by surviving by hiding can one live longer.

Ye Jing slowly returned to the private room where the stolen items had been found.

He was a guest in a superior room.

His two Storage Bag, filled with Spirit Stone, which he had left in his room, were stolen.

Meanwhile, the guards on the ferry were gathering information and investigating clues.

"Master Cao, are you sure you locked the door when you left the room?"

"Of course, what do you mean by that? Even if I didn't lock the door properly, my things shouldn't have been stolen!" The portly middle-aged man was somewhat dissatisfied with the guard's tone, as if he was blaming him for not locking the door properly!

"No, Master Cao, I just wanted to confirm how the other party entered your room!" the guard hurriedly explained.

"Hmph, I see you're all incompetent at finding the thief. Once we get there, I'm going to complain to your boss!" The man who had been replaced by Master Cao was furious!

Ye Jing watched from afar. He didn't know how to investigate cases, but he had Secret Method to reconstruct what happened.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and figures began to move about in Master Cao's room.

However, apart from the pot-bellied man and his concubine, no one else entered the room.

Ye Jing frowned; things had suddenly become complicated!

Master Cao is lying; his Spirit Stone was not actually stolen!

Why did Master Cao lie?

Is it to attract attention?

Ye Jing's figure vanished suddenly, and when he reappeared, he was already outside the ferry!

Ye Jing looked down over the entire ferry, hoping to find something strange.

Once the enemy has drawn the ship's guards away, they will inevitably take other actions.

But where is it?

The ferry was engraved with a formation to prevent Divine Soul probing, in order to protect the privacy of the guests, so Ye Jing could only see it with his naked eye.

After circling the ferry once and finding no problems, Ye Jing's unease intensified!

We must understand the situation of Master Cao.

Ye Jing knew that searching blindly would be difficult; the other party must have been planning this for a long time!

"Boom!"

But just as he was about to enter the ferry, an explosion was heard inside.

Ye Jing's pupils contracted; oh no!

His figure vanished abruptly, reappearing beside Qiuyue.

"Young Master!" Qiuyue also heard the explosion!

"Get off the ferry first!"

Without saying a word, Ye Jing grabbed Qiuyue's shoulder and disappeared into the private room.

And just as the two of them left the ferry...

An array lit up beneath the ferry, then enveloped the entire vessel, sealing it off!

Ye Jing Great Array his eyes. This was the ferry's protective formation, but someone had modified it, turning it into Imprisonment Formation.

Those outside can't get in, and those inside can't get out either.

"Young Master, what's going on?"

Qiuyue asked, somewhat bewildered.

"I suspect we might have been hijacked!" This was the only possibility Ye Jing could think of.

The only advantage of blocking the ferries is this!

"Listen up, all passengers! You are surrounded! Now, everyone, bring your money and valuables and get onto the deck!"

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Jing finished speaking, a voice rang out, echoing throughout the entire ferry.

Ye Jing understood that Master Cao deliberately mentioned thieves to lure away some of the guards, giving the hijackers time to prepare.

"Young Master, should we intervene?" Qiuyue asked, blinking her big eyes.

"Why!"

Ye Jing sighed.

"Let's observe first and assess their strength. If they're not strong, we'll offer assistance to the best of our ability. If they're too strong, our help won't be of any use!"

Ye Jing wasn't a hot-blooded youth; the reason he didn't leave immediately was because of his remaining conscience!

"Yes, young master!" Qiuyue nodded.

The two then hid in the clouds and observed the ferry.

Shortly after the sound rang out, a group of people appeared on the deck. They were all burly and had fierce expressions on their faces!

The leader was a bald, burly man with bare chest and exposed breasts, whose strength was actually at the Divine Realm Layer Five!

This relieved Ye Jing.

The opponent is strong, but I am even stronger!

However, Ye Jing did not act rashly. What if the other side had laid an ambush?
