(TranslatedbyGravityTales妫e啯袨)
Yes,itispossible.AlthoughYunXihadonlyfoundthesefemaleswordsmenontheislandthroughhisseeds,butitwaspossiblethatotherpeopleontheship,WhiteLotus,alsodriftedtothisisland.
Afterall,WhiteLotuscarriedoverathousandofpeople.ExceptforthetwinwitchesandHuaHuo,whohehadconfirmedthatweren’tonthisisland,itwasverylikelythattherewereothersurvivorshere.
"XiaoCao,let’sgotosaveher!"Sincehehadalreadysavedthirty-sevenpeople,thentherewasnoreasonforhimnottosavemore.

Well,didshereallyneedhelp?
"That’sstrange..."XiaoCaomurmured.
Yes,thatwastoostrange.YunXiwassurethatthisgirlwasn’toneoftheSwordPalace’scandidates.

YunXididn’tthinkthatshewasanative.Inhisview,herheadwearshouldbeveryvaluable.Probablyitwouldn’tbecheaperthanWhiteLotus’sStarandMoon’sRing.
Besides,theicebluetraceonherchestwasalsosuspicious.Thiswasatropicalislandbutitwasstillfrozenhere.Itcouldn’tbesomethingordinary.
AlthoughYunXicouldn’tjudgeherpowerwithhisnakedeyes,however,hedidn’tthinkthattheseveralsquirrels,whoactuallycoulddonoharmtoherandseeminglyjustwantedtoplaywithher,wouldbeathreattoher.

"Whoooh!Theyarefinallygone!"Afterseeingthesquirrelsleaving,thesilver-hairedgirlfinallyhadthegutstoclimbdownthetree.
"Theyarejustsquirrels.Youdon’tneedtoafraidofthem."YunXicomfortedher,butstilldidn’trelaxhisvigilance,becausehedidn’tseeaspeckofdustonherbody.Noonewouldbestillspotlessafterfallingfromthesky.
