Bai Fang received the notification and walked out of his room onto the deck, only to find that it was already packed with people.
And in the direction directly opposite to the bow of the ship, not far away on the surface of the sea, a huge island was quietly lying there, like an ancient sea beast.
On the deck, a dense crowd gathered in their own small circles, and some people with extensive social connections, like old men such as Fu Guan Jia, were greeting familiar faces everywhere.
Bu Fan just glanced lightly, then saw Bu Yanran standing beside a railing at the bow of the ship, with several guards from the Bu family manor surrounding her.
At the same time, beside Bu Yanran, there was also a handsome young man with a refined face. At this moment, he was standing beside Bu Yanran, talking incessantly as if telling her something, while Bu Yanran merely nodded lightly in response. The veil covered her face, making it impossible to see her expression inside.
"Miss!" Bu Fan walked up to Bu Yanran's side, bowed his head respectfully and called out, then stood aside with the other guards.
"Hey, Xiao Fanzi, you're quite talented too! Since getting on the boat, you haven't stepped out of your room at all. We thought we'd lost you! The young lady even sent Old Gao to call for you!" Just as Bofan steadied himself, someone beside him slapped a palm onto his shoulder and chuckled softly.
"What's even more surprising is that this kid doesn't get seasick, and can still stay in his room on such a turbulent boat!" Another guard chimed in with a joke.
Bu Fan just smiled lightly and didn't say a word, quietly standing there.
By his side, the handsome young man seemed to have a talkative nature, pulling him from time to time to chat about something, unfortunately, Buxianran's talkativeness didn't seem to be very high.
"Hey, Wei brother, who is that?" Seeing the young man talking non-stop over there, Bu Fan couldn't help but pull on the sleeve of the guard brother next to him and ask curiously.
When Wei heard the question, the guard called Wei Da Ge glanced at Yue Huan Xing, who was still describing the scenery of Zhongyuan with a flourish, and smiled slightly, saying: "He's the young hero of Huashan School, ranked 87th on the previous Dragon List!"
"Ranking eighty-seventh on the Dragon List?" Bu Fan's heart slightly stirred, seemingly recalling what Bu Er Shu had said before - the Dragon and Phoenix Lists recorded the top young male and female experts under thirty from various sects in the Jianghu, with over a hundred people on each list. Being able to rank eighty-seventh was already considered a remarkable achievement among the younger generation.
"By the way, Wei Ge, has our little sister been arranged yet?" Bu Fan's mind moved slightly as he glanced at Bu Yanran and asked curiously.
Wei Ge gave a meaningful glance at Yue Huan Xing and said lightly, "Our big sister was tenth on the Phoenix List last time, but that year, big sister was only fifteen years old. This time, in my opinion, big sister will definitely not fall out of the top three!"
"Hmph, just Yue Huanxing, that toad still thinks it can eat swan meat, what a ridiculous fantasy!" Another guard whispered at this time.
Bo Fan subconsciously nodded slightly, then suddenly woke up with a start, looking around and thinking to himself in dismay: "It seems like those were the villain's lines just now!"
Of course, he wouldn't actually say this out loud, and could only secretly sigh in his heart!
"Big Brother, we're about to disembark. Third Master asked me to call you back!" Just then, a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes walked slowly to the side of Yue Huan Xing and Bu Yan Ran, softly speaking to Yue Huan Xing, and afterwards, showed a hint of an apologetic smile towards Bu Yan Ran.
"Alright, Linghu Yu, I know!" Yuer Xing saw the young man with a sword-shaped brow appear, and his face showed a hint of displeasure. He waved his hand impatiently and said.
Seeing the displeased expression on Yue Huan Xing's face, the young man known as Ling Hu Yu calmly said: "Elder brother, Third Uncle said that I must call you back, otherwise, I will definitely be severely punished. Please don't make things difficult for me, Ling Hu!"
It's just that looking at Ling Hu Yu's expression on his face, there wasn't a hint of difficulty either.
As soon as Ling Hu's words fell, Yue Huanxing's face turned somewhat gloomy. The young master of the Hua Shan sect was speaking here, but he was actually retorted by a junior disciple without being given any face, which made his face unbearable!
However, he still maintained his basic demeanor, and after shouting at Pei Yanran and apologizing, he coldly left.
"Haha, it seems that the days of the Huashan Sect's leader are not going well. The Huzong Sword Sect will definitely suppress the leader sect in the next few years!"
"No way, who let their town's ancestral teachings be monopolized by the Dugu Nine Swords of the Hu Zong Sword Sect? Even if the leader of the sect has the Purple Mist Divine Art, compared to the Dugu Nine Swords, what is the Purple Mist Divine Art worth?"
Seeing Yue Huan Xing leave in anger, the guards began to discuss in low voices again. Bu Fan looked at Ling Hu Yu with curiosity at this time.
He had an inexplicable intuition that Ling Hu Yu was also a player!
Unfortunately, at this time, the two of them will not have any intersection!
At this time, the boat also slowly approached the shore. Under the arrangement of the attendants on the boat, groups of people slowly walked down from the boat and set foot on Xiake Island.
Next, it was the trivial matter of arranging rooms for the various factions. The people from Bu Jia Zhuang also got a separate courtyard with spacious rooms, so Bu Fan was lucky enough to get a small single room again.
While pondering his next move, he received a notice and arrived at Fugou's residence.
"In the next few days, it's the Laba Congee Conference held by Xiake Island, so in these few days, I and the young lady will be busy with the conference. Wei Xiao, keep an eye on them and don't cause any more trouble on the island, got it?" Fu Guanjia said quietly to the dozen or so people who followed him.
Although the voice is not loud, there is an unmistakable tone between the words.
Wei Xiao nodded, holding his sword with both hands, and said in a serious tone: "Don't worry, Fu Bo, I'll take care of the brothers!"
"Ah, Bu Fan!" Fu Guanjia nodded and then turned his head towards Bu Fan, calling out softly.
"Present, Master Fu!" Bu Fan immediately replied respectfully, he didn't dare disobey the old steward's orders.
"Master Zhuang has asked you to come to Xiake Island, I also understand the meaning. However, this Laba porridge feast, you really can't attend, after all, it's related to the face of our Bu family manor, your strength is indeed not enough! But don't worry, Laba porridge, I will naturally bring a bowl back for you. In the next few days, don't stir up trouble on Xiake Island, be aware that the forces here are complex and mixed, speaking too much will lead to losses, do you understand?" Manager Fu cautioned seriously.
"You few, take good care of this little guy, don't let him make any mistakes in this short period of time!" Fu Guanjia said to Bu Fan, then turned his head and said to Wei Xiao and the others.
"Don't worry, Mr. Fu, we'll take care of Bu Fan!" Wei Xiao immediately cupped his hands and said to Fu's housekeeper, Zheng Se.
Bo Fan heard the words, but in his heart he was secretly bitter. He didn't expect that after arriving at Xiake Island, he would lose his freedom instead.
