Ye Chen's plan was nodded through by Nangong Yao.
Nangong Yao conveyed the idea to Shao Hengjiang, who immediately agreed. The plan was as follows: Shao Hengjiang and Wan Liyun would first lie in ambush on Freedom Island.
Following that, Nangong Yao, according to what Ye Chen had said, was to lend him the Sacred Spirit Stone to aid the Phoenix Monster's healing, which was of course fake; it was only to make the mole believe that the Sacred Spirit Stone was in his possession.
Then, it was time for him to head to Freedom Island to replenish supplies, and importantly, they would rest there for one night with only their sole ship.
Everything proceeded as initially agreed upon.
Nangong Yan was shocked; she was still trying to figure out whose idea this was. Her father's? He wasn't that clever. Ouyang Yue's? Even less likely, since she lacked that kind of experience.
Tonight, they could land on the island first.
