The firewood on the flames was burning, and a drop of water fell from the cave, and a wisp of smoke rose with a hissing sound.

The man sat quietly by the fire, and after a moment of silence, he said lightly, "So easy."

smoothly……

Ying Baoyue was a little speechless when she looked at the pile of seaweed on the ground. She went into the sea twice in a row. Does he call this easy?

"Is it also called "save a person in the middle ceremony"?" she asked with her eyes closed.

"Why do you ask that?"

Li Ji did not look back and stared at the fire quietly, "If you were floating in the water and happened to see me sinking into the sea, wouldn't you pull me?"

If this could be called rescue, then does she know how many people she saved?

Ying Baoyue's expression was a little subtle when she heard this.

Practitioners should indeed be determined by saving lives and helping the wounded. Since they met Li Ji in the Former Qin Dynasty, they have helped each other many times, but this time it is different.

This is the battlefield of the mid-level ceremony, and they are the opponents who compete for the same goal.

"Is it half an hour later than the Xirong people?" Ying Baoyue looked at Fengyu outside the cave and glanced at the mask on Li Ji's face, "You are lying to me."

Li Ji held the wooden stick and roasted the fire and ate it.

"I've been asleep for more than half an hour, but it's almost an hour right?"

The man's back became stiff for a moment, then he looked at her side and nodded silently.

There was obviously no sun outside, and she could still notice the passage of time. If she hadn't seen her life and death look unknown, Li Ji would have suspected that she was pretending to be impatient just now.

"Why do you want to lie to me?" Ying Baoyue stared at his side face and asked softly.

"The sun is covered by dark clouds and I can't see the sun. My judgment of time is not so accurate," said Li Ji, "so I said it to the young master."

Of course, there are reasons why she doesn't want to make her feel guilty, but he won't do this next time.

It is more difficult and costly to hide it from her.

"Is that?" Ying Baoyue was silent for a moment, and she guessed why Li Ji said that. The longer the delay, the more nonsense his "easy" statement seemed.

"Then it's been an entire hour late, why don't you leave?" Ying Baoyue looked at Li Ji, who was still sitting beside the fire, and asked quietly, "How can you get the top spot like this?"

Even if he found her in the water and caught her, he could throw her here alone, and she would wake up. He really didn't have the need to guard her here.

Looking at the man sitting by the bonfire, Ying Baoyue couldn't say a word.

That's it.

Why are you so kind to me?

Li Ji is the one who knows that she will be in the near future, so she won’t think too much, but she is a little contradictory.

She took a deep breath, looked at him and asked calmly, "Aren't you going to seize Shao Siming's sword for your sweetheart?"

Li Ji was silent for a moment, and finally turned his head and looked into her eyes, "I said, since I said that you can live for a year, I will not watch you die within this year."

It was originally just a death prophecy, but it became a promise of his.

Ying Baoyue looked at him blankly and smiled helplessly, "I owe you a favor."

"I owe you favors first," Li Ji handed her a shell, which contained boiling hot rainwater. "I said in Nanchu that I owe you a life."

The price she paid for helping him reach the rank was even greater, and he didn't understand why she did this at that time.

"But you've paid it back a long time ago," Ying Baoyue frowned. Whether it was the last battle between Ji Mo in the early stage ceremony, or the Yunwu Forest, he accompanied her and Helian Yan in the Yunwu Forest, or even played an assassin in Jianzhang Palace three days ago, he would have accumulated a life long enough to repaid his favor.

"These are nothing," Li Ji said lightly.

Ying Baoyue wanted to say something, but looking into his eyes, she knew that none of them could convince anyone, but she had already secretly planned that if Li Ji learned about her true identity and wanted to avenge her, she would definitely let him cut three more times.

"You don't have to mind too much," Li Ji looked at Ying Baoyue and drank hot water. "Although it's an hour late, we won't fall much behind."

Ying Baoyue looked up at him.

"It's already evening now," Li Ji said lightly, "The tide has begun to fade around Xiaoyao Island."

Ying Baoyue was stunned, "You mean..."

"The tide will pull the practitioners into the sea," Li Ji said quietly, "Even if you swim to the shore at this time, it will not be easy to get ashore."

This person...

Ying Baoyue instantly understood what he meant.

He had already calculated the time. According to the tide force, it is indeed the time for the ebb. If the practitioners traveling eastward in the morning was a good wind, it would have completely turned into a headwind at this time, and going ashore would have resulted in half the effort with twice the effort.

The tidal force is mainly caused by the gravitational force of the moon. When the moon is in the middle of the sky, this force will weaken, and this is the best time to get ashore.

No wonder Li Ji is not in a hurry.

Looking at the man sitting by the fire, Ying Baoyue smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to know the sea so well."

People in this world still don’t know the existence of gravity. They want to understand that the tides must have rich experiences of life by the sea. Thinking of Li Ji’s skills when he swam to her in the waves, she asked curiously, “Did you… grew up by the sea?”

"No," Li Ji looked back at her, "I grew up in the forest."

Although it is only one year, he is free this year.

Although his life before that was indeed living in the seaside city, he always spent his life in imprisonment, which cannot be called growth.

"Then you know enough," Ying Baoyue praised sincerely, and his eyes froze when he remembered something the next moment.

"But this..." She looked at Li Ji with difficulty, "Didn't you tell Jiashu and the others?"

Speaking of this, did Ji Jiashu and the others leave early and hit the tide?

However, as opponents of Eastern Wu and Nan Chu, Li Ji did not tell Ji Jiashu about their obligations.

"No," However, Ying Baoyue didn't expect Li Ji to turn around the wooden sign in his hand, "If Chun Huajun's words, he should be able to get ashore smoothly."

"He has water-proof beads hanging around his neck," he said lightly, "that also has the effect of removing the tide."

Well……

Ying Baoyue found that she seemed to have accidentally opened a cheat for Ji Jiashu...

This is probably a bit unfair to others, but she doesn't regret doing so.

Li Ji glanced at her and knew what she was thinking, "You don't have to worry about fair things. When Yinglong God appeared, it decided that this showdown could not be fair."

If there were no water-retardation droplets, Ji Jiashu, who was targeted by Yinglong God like her, would have been buried at the bottom of the sea.

This also shows how lucky she is.

"Chun Huajun and others will go first, and they will definitely encounter and intercept the Xirong people on the island shore, and fight will break out first."

Li Ji looked at the girl sitting next to the stone with her knees in her arms. In the storm, Ji Jiashu chose to take the lead. It seemed as if she had given up looking for her, but in fact, it was probably to get ashore to solve the difficult enemy.

Take yourself as the pioneer and fight for a bloody path first.
