A clatter and clang, and Bai Suxiang and Liu Sandao were led to the entrance of a stone cave.
Through the gaps in the iron bars, they saw two girls lying on a wooden bed.
Their hair was messy, and they lay there, unconscious.
"Xiao Xia! Xiao Xia! Hurry and open the door!"
Bai Suxiang shouted inside, urging the person to unlock the door.
With a creak, the door opened.
Bai Suxiang eagerly rushed in.
"Xiao Xia! Xiao Xia!"
She quickly touched Fang Xiaoxia.
Liu Sandao remained still. He knew Fang Xiaoxia and Sasha were unharmed.
He hadn't told Bai Suxiang earlier, but he had already bestowed fortune fruits upon them.
Although their fortune fruits were not abundant, they were enough to endure the beating.
The reason he didn't tell Bai Suxiang was that he feared recounting the process would make her uncomfortable.
After leaving Bai Suxiang that day, his first thought was to check if anyone was causing trouble on the second small island.
But as luck would have it, he encountered the vibration of the Fortune Manual, only to discover that two people's fortune fruits needed to be bestowed.
Those two were Fang Xiaoxia and Sasha.
However, Sasha's real name was Shu Haisha.
When Liu Sandao arrived, the two were being beaten.
A naked man was whipping them with a leather belt. Many leather straps were bound to their bodies.
It seemed certain areas were specifically bound, which made Liu Sandao uncomfortable to witness.
He could only rely on his cultivation to see them as a different kind of creature.
After bestowing the fortune fruits, he quietly cast a spell to shorten the long duration of their ordeal.
When Bai Suxiang saw them, they were not as they were before.
The two had already gone through the most brutal stage. If no one came to rescue them, they might have died.
"Hurry and carry them out!"
Bai Suxiang shouted in anger.
She never expected that Fang Xiaoxia's words of "no chance" would end like this.
It seemed that on this seemingly beautiful island, many human evils were hidden.
Could all of this be related to Shu Dehou and Shu Desheng?
But they showed no signs of evil!
Simple thoughts flashed through Bai Suxiang's mind. She couldn't dwell on them for now.
The urgent task was to get them to Red Island.
With that yellow tag, it should be fine.
As the guards helped the two out, a commotion suddenly erupted outside.
"Report, boss! Someone is here to demand the girls!"
The person's voice carried through the stone cave, clearly audible to those inside.
"Who?"
Then, a cold, hoarse voice asked.
"It's... it's her. She has the yellow pass. It should be the young mistress!"
Someone stammered in reply.
"Hmph! How dare she impersonate the young mistress? Come, take me to see!"
The man with the hoarse voice said with some anger.
Those inside the cave heard it clearly.
It was understandable; the cave entrance was deep, with only one passage.
Hearing the boss's voice, the men carrying Fang Xiaoxia and Sasha slowed their pace.
They also began to doubt Bai Suxiang's identity.
If Bai Suxiang was an impostor, capturing her would earn them merit. If she wasn't, they wouldn't offend the boss.
"Put them down, all of you! Who told you to carry them!"
The man entered, appearing rather portly.
The rolls of fat on his face were enough to break his neck. What was most unsettling was his pockmarked face.
Sensing trouble, Liu Sandao immediately stood beside Bai Suxiang.
Bai Suxiang said,
"It's me! What, you don't recognize this token?"
She stretched out her arm, holding the yellow tag.
"Heh heh heh, a yellow tag?"
The man sneered, casually pushing Bai Suxiang's arm aside.
However, to Bai Suxiang's surprise, his hand moved to grab her wrist.
Bai Suxiang instinctively dodged backward, intending to kick him, but she saw Liu Sandao.
Liu Sandao had already seen his malicious intent and twisted his fingers with one hand.
*Crack!*
The sound of bones breaking could be heard.
"You! Ow! Let go, let go! It hurts... it hurts! Ow!"
Seeing the man who was just being arrogant now in such a pathetic state, Liu Sandao immediately let go.
They were no match for him.
If they dared to take advantage of Bai Suxiang, they'd probably have to wait until the next life.
The man, having suffered a loss, was not willing to give up. After retreating a couple of steps, he immediately shouted,
"What the hell young mistress, just an impostor! Everyone knows the young mistress died at the age of five! Someone, quickly capture them and hand them over to the boss for a reward!"
The guards, who were already unsure of Bai Suxiang's background, immediately moved to apprehend her upon their boss's command.
Fortunately, it was a stone cave, a narrow space where one person could hold off many. Others might not have a chance to fight.
Liu Sandao took the lead, blocking the path in the middle.
"Attack! Ow!"
The man shouted while enduring the pain.
As long as he could capture this impostor, he would surely be rewarded by the big boss.
Over the years, a few foolish people had impersonated others, only to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
This time would be no different.
Liu Sandao was not good with words. He directly adopted a fighting stance and used his martial arts against them.
However, there were two more people behind them, also watching menacingly.
Liu Sandao had initially planned to wait for them to make the first move and then find an opportunity to switch sides.
This way, the villains on the island would be on one side, and they would be on the other.
Then, he wouldn't be afraid even if someone challenged him. One person would be enough to protect Bai Suxiang's safety.
As for Fang Xiaoxia and Sasha, it seemed those people wouldn't pay much attention to the unconscious individuals for the time being.
*Slap! Slap!* "Ow!"
Before Liu Sandao could make a move, Bai Suxiang actually struck first.
And she managed to hit two people at once.
"Here!"
Bai Suxiang turned and said, gesturing for Liu Sandao to move into the cave.
Liu Sandao took a step forward, bypassing the two fallen individuals.
"Ow! Ow!"
The two moaned in unison, clearly in pain.
"Damn it, you useless fools! Someone, get the guns!"
Although the boss shouted fiercely, he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. Fortunately, he hadn't gotten greedy, or the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Liu Sandao smiled somewhat helplessly. If he had known Bai Suxiang was this strong, what was there to worry about?
But the matters ahead would be difficult to handle!
Being skilled in martial arts didn't guarantee immunity to bullets!
