Chapter 411: Chapter 31 Meeting Yi Si

"I’ve been trapped here for so long and no one has come; these ropes are impossible to break free from. I’m so scared! Are we going to die here?" Sharon’s face was filled with despair, having lived in deep fear these days.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxi, at first, she felt a glimmer of hope. But upon realizing that Gu Xiaoxi was also bound to the tree, she fell back into utter hopelessness.

Though Gu Xiaoxi felt a bit scared of such unbelievable things, she had no intention of giving in.

With a thought, seven daggers immediately appeared beside her.

As her Golden Crow Mysterious Iron Dagger was unsheathed, a killing aura stirred in the air; with the sounds of "swoosh swoosh swoosh" filling it, the dagger effortlessly cut through the ropes binding her.

Gu Xiaoxi rejoiced inwardly, she hadn’t expected the dagger to be not only indestructible but also fearless against this evil power.

After she cut the ropes, she floated gently to the ground and looked up at Sharon, "Don’t be afraid, I will get you down."

Sharon only saw a flash before the ropes binding her broke. The next second, she was free.

In just a short while, Gu Xiaoxi had freed the others as well.

Apart from Sharon, the rest seemed to be commoners from the Ancient Egyptian Sect, speaking words Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t understand at all.

Though the ropes were gone, neither she nor Sharon could return.

This frustrated her immensely. Wasn’t it said that Ai Xiang could handle it herself? Now, she had still been calculated by the witchcraft.

"Miss Ai Zhen, what should we do now?" Sharon timidly followed behind Gu Xiaoxi, clinging to her arm as if afraid she would run off and leave her alone.

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at her and patted her shoulder in reassurance, "Calm down! Let me have a look at this tree!"

Thinking of her majestic and splendid life that was yet unfinished, how could she possibly perish like this.

Resolute, Gu Xiaoxi approached the withered tree.

She grabbed her dagger and hacked at the tree. Immediately, the previously withered branches gleamed, lighting up a string of runes.

After a moment, Gu Xiaoxi felt a burning pain all over her body.

She was almost certain that this was witchcraft, used for collecting souls.

At the tip of the withered branches, there would be a sprout, each sprout binding a soul.

The withered tree was the malignant source binding souls, and the Jade Watermelon was the medium it used to harm people.

Gu Xiaoxi gripped her dagger tightly; the burning sensation lasted for a full minute before it faded away with the runes.

"It hurts so much. Miss Ai Zhen, have you discovered anything new?" Sharon chased after Gu Xiaoxi, urgently asking. Her breath had clearly grown weaker.

**

Outside, Ai Xiang was scared out of her wits.

She hadn’t expected to fail to rescue Sharon, and now Gu Xiaoxi had been dragged into it too.

Without thinking, he quickly placed Gu Xiaoxi next to Sharon and began acupuncture, hoping that the Five Elements Acupuncture Technique could save them.

At first, Gu Xiaoxi felt restless; but after a moment, she inexplicably calmed down and her thoughts became rational all at once.

How to break the rune?

Gu Xiaoxi circled the withered tree and touched her chin, when suddenly a spark of brilliance flashed in her eyes.

Dismantle the rune.

By dismantling the key element of the rune, the power of the witchcraft would naturally disappear.

"Sharon, take them and step back a bit," Gu Xiaoxi ordered.

In the dark space, Sharon didn’t know what Gu Xiaoxi was planning to do, but the burning sensation she had just experienced made her want to cry. Now, as Gu Xiaoxi asked her to move away, she quickly left.

Just like before, Gu Xiaoxi provoked the runes on the withered tree. The golden letters were complicated, and despite the searing pain, she stared at the characters on the runes.

Suddenly, she leapt up, swinging three daggers at once, directly chopping at a golden line in the rune.

"Clang!" All they heard was a crisp sound, and in an instant, darkness enveloped everyone’s sight. The next second, they could already feel the sound of their heartbeats.

Gu Xiaoxi suddenly sat up from Sharon’s bed, sweat on her forehead and silver needles still inserted at the top of her head. When she saw Ai Xiang, who was anxiously beside her, she couldn’t help but gasp, "What did you insert into my head? It hurts!"

As soon as Ai Xiang saw her wake up, she hurried forward with joy in her eyebrows, "You scared me to death. You’re finally awake!"

With that, she immediately helped Gu Xiaoxi remove the Golden Needles from her body.

Gu Xiaoxi didn’t have time to say much to her and waited until the Golden Needle on her head was gone. She turned her head to look at Sharon, who was lying beside her.

By then, Sharon was awake too, staring at Gu Xiaoxi and Ai Xiang with her big watery eyes.

"Miss Ai Zhen, thank you for saving me. I remember you!" Sharon said as she lay there, although her breath was weak. But fortunately, she was awake, and now all she needed was a good rest, and she would soon recover.

Gu Xiaoxi smiled warmly, standing at Sharon’s bedside, and said with a laugh, "I was entrusted by your father, so it was only right for me to save you. However, concerning the events that happened before, it’s best not to tell others. Such things happen once in a hundred years. If you tell people, no one would believe you."

"Mm! I know. Can we be friends?" Sharon asked tentatively.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Sure! That way I can eat and drink at your place for free!"

This comment amused Sharon; what kind of person was so direct? She was straightforward and amusing to boot.

After Sharon woke up, Gu Xiaoxi and Ai Xiang could report back as well.

Although the process was a bit perilous, fortunately, everyone was safe now.

After saving Sharon, Gu Xiaoxi and Ai Xiang received a grand reception from the Island Master, who also invited them to stay at his place, and reserved VIP seats for them at the black market auction.

In a large auction open to the entire world, those who can sit in VIP seats are all famous figures of great renown.

Gu Xiaoxi thought that they could sit there only because of Sharon’s influence.

At the dinner table, the Island Master looked at Gu Xiaoxi with gratitude and asked, "Miss Ai, you said before that you need my help with three things. Are you encountering any difficulties?"

"I do have some difficulties, and I won’t hide it from you. Gu Feng killed my master, and this Jade Watermelon was stolen from my master’s hands by him. My purpose here is to catch the murderer naturally. It’s difficult for me to meet him on my own, so I would like to ask the Island Master to arrange a meeting with him." Gu Xiaoxi was very serious. This was also the first matter.

"That’s easy to handle! He harmed my daughter, and I won’t let him get away with it either. Sharon likes you, so since you’re staying here, I’ll arrange a meeting." The Island Master said sternly.

"En, the second matter is this. I heard Yi Si has come to this island, do you know if this is true or not?" Gu Xiaoxi naturally wouldn’t ask him directly to take her to meet Yi Si. Wouldn’t that be exposing that she overheard their conversation last night? She wasn’t that foolish.

The Island Master fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then he lowered his head with a heavy tone, "The news is true. I won’t lie to you. Yi Si has arranged to meet with me today at noon. I have already prepared to send someone to negotiate."

"Just right, I have always been curious about Yi Si. Could you possibly have someone take me?" Gu Xiaoxi said bluntly.

However, the Island Master was taken aback, "Girl, did I hear you wrong? Usually, people avoid Yi Si like the plague. If you truly see his real face, it would be certain death." The Island Master kindly warned.

He didn’t want to see Gu Xiaoxi go and throw her life away for nothing.

"Is it really that dangerous?" Gu Xiaoxi didn’t believe it.

Ai Xiang also frowned, looking at Gu Xiaoxi, "Xiao Ai, don’t be reckless. Yi Si is not someone you can meet."

They came here to chase a murderer, and he didn’t want to bring Gu Xiaoxi into any accidents.

The terror of Yi Si was beyond everyone’s imagination.

"I’m serious, even if it’s just a glimpse from afar," Gu Xiaoxi said firmly.

The Island Master was now sizing up Gu Xiaoxi, even suspecting her identity. In this world, those who are desperate to know the true face of Yi Si are probably only the International Alliance and the militaries and police of various countries.

"Since I promised you three things, I naturally won’t refuse. It’s not impossible to take you to see him, but we can’t guarantee your safety," said the Island Master with a serious expression. Their Dream Island is just a small island. They make money from the whole world, regardless of good or bad people. They also don’t get involved with the affairs of heroes and villains.

All they have to ensure is the normal operation of the island, wealth for the islanders, order for the tourists, and they don’t get involved with murder or arson.

"Then it’s settled," Gu Xiaoxi agreed without heeding Ai Xiang’s warning, striking a deal on the spot.

Ai Xiang, on the side, frowned and glared at Gu Xiaoxi.

"What about the third matter?" the Island Master asked.

"Actually, allowing us to stay already ensures our safety. What reason do I have to make any more requests? These two things are enough," Gu Xiaoxi said with a smile.

The Island Master glanced at Gu Xiaoxi. She was a decent girl, not too greedy. However, she had risked her life to save his daughter, so even if she made more requests, he would be willing to help her.

After discussing with Ai Xiang, Gu Xiaoxi decided to go meet Yi Si by herself.

As for how to meet him, Gu Xiaoxi had already thought it through.

The place where Yi Si had arranged to meet the Island Master was a well-known hotel just outside the restricted area.
