The leader fell silent in urgency, contemplating while his subordinates waited.
Someone suggested, "Leader, why don't we go ashore and look around?"
After some thought, the leader nodded, "Whether we find anything or not, we must leave a message at the rendezvous point."
As Ye Shiqi listened to their discussion and their plans to search, she felt that this was the perfect moment to leave. Their boats were unattended, with no people or cargo aboard, and it was likely that not many were watching.
She also didn't want to ride a horse alone on land, as using her spatial abilities repeatedly would exhaust her.
Talking to these strangers surely required a token they recognized.
Ye Shiqi could only search the old housekeeper for something to use, and from a pocket in his cloak, she found a signet.
"The token bore a 'Ye' character."
Clutching the token, Ye Shiqi appeared inside the cabin.
At the time, she was still dressed as a man, a young master with the appearance of a teenager.
