Before long, the steaming hot dishes were served, and everyone sat down around the table. Ou Ye was holding a plate of chicken legs in his right hand, grabbing two with his left hand, and had another one in his mouth as he walked over. The sight made Ding Dang and others stare in shock. The renowned divine doctor Ou Ye, who was said to be able to cure any illness, was acting like a starving ghost, treating the chicken legs as if they were his lifeblood? Thinking this, they couldn't help but look at him with strange eyes. Ou Ye walked up to them, put down the plate, and took the chicken leg out of his mouth, excitedly saying: "It smells so good! Why are you all staring at me?" Seeing Ding Dang and others looking at him with unusual gazes, Ou Ye asked in confusion.
Dada couldn't help but rub his temples, looking at Tiao with a speechless expression, as if saying: With so many people around, can't you just behave a little better? Tiao laughed and said, "Sorry about that, he's always like this, let everyone see the joke." Tingdang heard this and couldn't help but burst out laughing, hastily saying, "No need to apologize, I didn't expect the great doctor to be... one of a kind." Tiao used his elbow to push Tiao away, saying, "Go go go, you're just as bad, eat your rice!" After that, he turned to Tingdang and the others and said, "No need to be so polite, just call me Tiao.
Han Tian's eyes were tinged with a layer of smile, these seven heroes were much easier to get along with than he had imagined, completely without that serious and arrogant look, really... approachable.
The meal was enjoyed with great relish, and the faces of Hong Mao and Lan Tu were filled with smiles from start to finish. Ding Dang and Han Tian felt that this was probably the happiest smile they had ever seen on their friends since they met them. It made them feel the deep friendship between the seven heroes. That night, Jumping and others gathered around Hong Mao and Lan Tu, asking them about their journey. The seven heroes sat together, chatting and laughing, and the candlelight in that room burned until dawn. Hong Mao and Lan Tu told many stories, including Xiao Hei becoming the divine beast of Feng Huang Island, learning martial arts at the Wu Guan, Lan Tu being swept away by a tsunami, Hong Mao and Ding Dang picking Long Jing tea together, and... the story of Chang Hong Jian. However, Hong Mao only briefly mentioned it, as he didn't want his brothers to go looking for trouble with Xiong Jian Qiang again, even though Xiong had insulted Chang Hong Jian. He didn't want to take revenge on him because of past events. This was perhaps the broad-mindedness of being the leader of the seven heroes.
Han Tian and Ding Dang also quietly listened, among them, there were things they knew and didn't know, with countless emotions in their hearts. Unbeknownst to them, they had already experienced so much, while time seemed to have returned to when they first met at the Phoenix Martial Arts Hall, in an instant, like flowing water, hastily passing by...
The next morning, everyone in the house looked tired but was very excited, with a hint of red glow. Hong Mao and others first went to the Three Towers Pavilion to bid farewell to the pavilion master, and then asked the pavilion master for the painting that Lan Tu had done during the competition. This was a memory of their seven heroes and also taught them how to grow up. Under the reluctant gaze of the pavilion master, they took back the painting and returned to the inn.
After settling the bill and checking out, they headed to the dock. The boat owner was a greedy person, and upon seeing the bulging packages in front of him, he had an ulterior motive. He didn't know that the person in front of him was the winner of the San Tai Ge Da Bi, and with a difficult expression said: "I'm really sorry, sir, all my boats have been rented out, I only have one boat that has been passed down from my ancestors, but I never rent it out, you see..." As he spoke, his hands unconsciously rubbed together. Everyone exchanged a glance, understanding in their hearts, and Xiao Xian slowly said: "Hehe, boat owner, when did your guts become so big that you dare to have ideas about the winner of the San Tai Ge Da Bi?"
The boat owner's face turned white when he heard the words "San Tai Ge Da Bi Huo Sheng Zhe", and he forced a smile, saying: "Where, where, how dare I? You guys have been working hard all the way, this money I won't collect, please...please get on the boat." Tingdang glanced at the boat owner with disdain, threw out a silver coin, and walked straight onto the boat. She didn't want to take advantage of someone else's kindness. The boat owner caught the silver coin, looked delighted, and nodded his head in thanks. Everyone got on the boat one after another, and set off towards Feng Huang Island in the morning sun. As for Xiong Jianqiang and others, they had been having diarrhea nonstop since last night, and had gone to the toilet many times, shouting that the chicken legs they bought must have been overnighted. However, when they heard that Tingdang would be going to Feng Huang Island today, he couldn't care about his weak body, and stumbled to the dock to rent a boat and set off early, of course, he was ruthlessly ripped off.
The boat sailed for nearly seven days, with occasional small winds and waves along the way, but finally arrived at Phoenix Island. As soon as they entered Phoenix Island, the cheers from the islanders were continuous: "Phoenix Five are great, you're amazing!" Everyone got off the boat, and the elder came up excitedly, saying: "Turtle Master, you've taught a good group of disciples!" Turtle Nine smiled and said: "Where, where, Elder is overpraising!" The elder turned to everyone with satisfaction and said: "I declare that from now on, the Phoenix Five will be our island's strongest five-man team! I hope everyone will respect and love them, and bring glory to our Phoenix Island!" The cheers erupted again, and everyone returned to the inn with joy.
"Let me go! Let me go! Why can't women practice martial arts? Blue Rabbit and Dangdang can do it, why can't I?" A disheveled woman ran out...
Come, two family attendants were chasing after her, saying: "You can't even pass the test and you still want to learn martial arts. Since you've already broken the island rules, don't blame us!" Dingdang recognized the woman at a glance, it was her childhood playmate Wanyu. Seeing how the two attendants were treating her, Dingdang shouted: "Stop!" The three of them were stunned, and when they looked up, they saw ten people standing in front of them, with Shuilianlilian and the elder following closely behind. The elder's face was displeased, and he waved his sleeve, saying: "Take her away quickly, disable her martial arts first, and when the time comes, expel her from Phoenix Island!" Suddenly, a woman rushed out of the crowd, grabbing the elder's sleeve and crying: "Elder, please spare my Shu'er! She was just acting on impulse. You can disable her martial arts if you want, but please don't expel her from Phoenix Island!"
As they spoke, two men had already dragged the woman away. Shu'er shouted loudly: "Mother! Dangdang quickly save us!" As soon as Dangdang saw this, she rushed up and slapped a family guard with her palm, then flipped over and pressed the guard's acupoint, rescuing Shu'er. Sally had already rushed out, turned her left hand, flipped over, and easily freed the woman from her restraints. "Sally, wait!" Blue Rabbit had just spoken to stop her, but it was too late. At this time, someone in the crowd said: "Another woman is practicing martial arts!"
"Yes, expel Fenghuang Island, expel Fenghuang Island!" The elder's face turned unpleasant and asked: "Turtle Master, what is going on?" "This..." Turtle Nine didn't know how to respond. Earlier, the elder was too excited and didn't carefully notice the other five heroes, teasing them was fine, but Sally... The elder said seriously: "Although this girl is not from Fenghuang Island, since she came to Fenghuang Island without permission and broke the island rules, she should be punished according to the island rules! According to the island rules, women are not allowed to practice martial arts. We should expel these two from Fenghuang Island. Since this girl is not from Fenghuang Island, we won't abolish her martial arts skills. Execute immediately!" "Wait!"
