Xiao Bai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, leaped from the seabed and charged straight at Tang Mo, who was idling about.
She Long reacted a beat too late. Seeing Xiao Bai carry Tang Mo away, he was about to intercept her, but stopped when he caught sight of Qian Renxue without her disguise. He plunged his Snake Lance Martial Soul, disguised as an ordinary spear, into the seawater and stirred, once again forming a spherical seawater barrier around Qian Renxue to conceal her true appearance.
Meanwhile, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, who could have used his spatial power to strike swiftly and rescue Tang Mo from Xiao Bai, made no clear attempt to save him. He merely made a show of taking half a step, pretending he had failed to react in time and could only watch helplessly as Tang Mo was abducted.
Ultimately, relations between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Spirit Hall were not particularly good, and he had no need to expend effort protecting a genius from Spirit Hall.
Even if Ning Fengzhi thought highly of Tang Mo and Ning Rongrong was quite fond of him, as long as Tang Mo had neither joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect nor formed any substantive relationship with Ning Rongrong, he remained a complete outsider to Gu Rong.
Gui Mei and Yue Guan were about to pursue Xiao Bai when, to their astonishment, they saw two characters formed from seawater floating above the little boat where Tang Mo had stood: "Don't worry."
This was clearly a message Tang Mo had left before being carried away, which meant he probably was not in danger.
At the sight, most of Yue Guan's and Gui Mei's worries dissipated. They exchanged a glance, and Gui Mei took a few steps forward
