As Dian Chi Ne passed by, Yu Qi subtly exchanged a brief glance with her. Noticing the signal, Dian Chi Ne offered a small, reassuring smile in response.
Dian Chi Ne and Dian Wan Ye finally stepped off the ferry ramp and began strolling casually down the long jetty toward the island's entrance.

They moved with practised ease, radiating an air of calm nonchalance that betrayed just how many times they had pulled off this exact type of wicked scheme. They did not appear nervous or suspicious in the slightest. To any casual bystander on the dock, they looked like nothing more than ordinary tourists arriving for a weekend getaway.
Executing the next phase of their plan, Yu Qi and the rest of the group dispersed in different directions, fanning out across the port to see if they could spot any other evil cultivators operating nearby.
