  "Wei Ge, I'm not a prisoner, you can't lock me up in the house!"

  "Brother Wei, don't you want to take a walk and have a look around Knight Island? This is a rare tropical scenery after all."

  "Wei Ge, I think I should go out and move around a bit, take in some fresh air. Otherwise, my legs are going to fall asleep!"

  "Brother Wei, I want to go out and use the restroom, just for a quick break, is that okay?"

  All day, Bu Fan was stuck in a stalemate with Wei Xiao, as if he was really afraid that Bu Fan would go out and cause trouble. Wei Xiao resolutely carried out the intentions of Fu's family, locking Bu Fan in the house and refusing to let him leave.

  Ruan Bu Fan's mouth was worn out, but Wei Xiao remained unmoved, blocking the door and preventing Ruan Bu Fan from leaving.

  "Alas!"

  Bu Fan finally sat back on the bed with a sigh, looking at the man sitting cross-legged at the door with a resolute expression, his face revealing a hint of sorrow.

  What is "to labor in vain due to one small mistake"?

  This is where all one's efforts come to naught!

  Bù fán shè xiǎng guò dào xiá kè dǎo zhī hòu wú shù de kě néng, bié rén de chuò nán, rǔ mà, shèn zhì shì chōng tū, huì chéng wèi tā xué xí tài xuán jīng de zǔ lì.

  But he never thought that after arriving at Xiake Island, the greatest resistance would come from within himself.

  A single sentence from Lao Guan Jia made Fan Yun become a bird in a cage and a prisoner at home on Xia Ke Island.

  "Damn it, this is outrageous!"

  "Hmph, isn't it just a bit of literary flair? What's the point of showing off? We're people of the martial world, we compare our martial arts skills, not our tongues!"

  "I see, this Xia Ke Island is simply making things difficult for us on purpose, they don't want us to get in!"

  "Find Wei Da Ge and have him go help us regain our reputation!"

  Just as Bu Fan and Wei Xiao were at a stalemate inside the house, the door was opened again. The remaining guards of the Bu family rushed in, their faces filled with anger and complaints.

  Bu Fan didn't say a word, but instead perked up his ears and listened carefully. Before long, he had figured out the ins and outs of what was going on.

  People who come to Xiake Island, of course, know that the most famous Tai Xuan Stone Wall on Xiake Island is said to hide a set of unparalleled martial arts skills that are widely spread in the Jianghu.

  The master of Xiake Island seems to understand the principle that a good man is not guilty, but a jade is guilty. Therefore, every ten years, on the occasion of the Laba porridge festival, the stone wall of Xiake Island will be opened, allowing martial artists from all over the world to visit and contemplate.

  Unfortunately, for hundreds of years, no one has grasped the secret on the stone wall. Even if someone accidentally gained insight into a few sets of martial arts from the stone wall, it's still far from being called an ultimate skill.

  Later, with the gradual rise of Xiake Island and the mixed powers in the martial arts world, the annual Laba porridge banquet, which was held once a decade, slowly transformed into a gathering for young talents. The stone wall of Xiake Island also became a place where young talents could enlighten themselves.

  The guards from the Bu family manor arrived, and naturally wanted to take a look at the famous Tai Xuan Stone Wall. However, just as they were about to enter the stone wall, they were stopped and then stumped by the questions raised by the Knight Island.

  "What's wrong with you guys? What's going on in Xiake Island?" Bufen asked curiously, looking at the few people who were panting.

  "Alas, if we're talking about other tests, they're quite simple. But there's one thing that makes us all feel powerless - the cultural assessment!" One of them sighed and said at this time.

  "Cultural assessment?"

  "Yes, you're talking about some proper martial arts schools, what's with the cultural assessment? We're not going to take the imperial examination!" Another person said discontentedly at this time.

  "What's more important is that these assessments are still only aimed at us accompanying people!"

  "Then none of you can go?" Bu Fan asked somewhat speechlessly. Among the dozen or so people, there should be a few who recognize characters!

  "Alas, it's a bit embarrassing to say, but we're all just a bunch of rough folks. We can recognize some characters, but when it comes to other aspects, we're completely helpless!"

  "Brother Wei, we brothers have come to ask for your help. You must help us brothers save face!"

  "Yes, Brother Wei, we brothers have come to Xiake Island, and we can't just go back without even seeing the shadow of this mysterious stone wall!"

  Others seem to know that Wei Xiao's writing skills are good, and they all opened their mouths to persuade him, wanting Wei Xiao to help them out.

  "But?" Wei Xiao looked embarrassed and glanced at Bu Fan, he still wanted to take good care of Bu Fan!

  "Hey Wei, you're overthinking this! Old Man Fu just asked you to keep an eye on me and prevent me from getting into trouble, but he didn't say anything about imprisoning me!"

  "Otherwise, I'll go with you guys, that way, with you all around me, I won't get into any trouble either, right?" Bù Fán said quickly, his eyes darting back and forth as he thought of a plan.

  "That's right, Wei Ge, we can't keep Stephon locked up all the time, otherwise when he gets back to the village, that little brat will definitely go tell Second Brother!"

  "Let him come with us and take a look around, with our brothers following, we can definitely keep an eye on this kid!"

  Others also advised at this time, and Wei Xiao's face also showed a moved expression. To be honest, he had long been yearning for the legendary Tai Xuan Stone Wall in the martial arts world. Since he had the opportunity to come to Xiake Island, he naturally wanted to take a look himself.

  "Alright then, let's go take a look together!" Wei Xiao finally nodded and said.

  Bu Fan heard this and tightly clenched his fist, secretly making a victory gesture.

  Then a crowd of people came to the entrance of Tai Xuan Stone Wall in Xia Ke Island, and indeed, at this moment, many people had already surrounded the place with three layers inside and three layers outside.

  "Hey, I'm saying that this Knight Island is not cheating people? If you don't want to let us brothers see it, just say so, why are you being so hypocritical and making people sick!"

  "It's true that hearing a hundred times is not as good as seeing once. I originally thought that Xiake Island was some kind of martial arts holy land, but now that I've seen it, it's nothing special!"

  "I think that from now on, Knight Island should invite the literati of the Tianwu Imperial Court instead of us. They are all men of letters and will surely meet the requirements of Knight Island!"

  In the crowd, the mocking voices rose one after another, all of whom were followers who came with the disciples of various sects, wanting to see the magic of Tai Xuan Stone Wall, but were blocked outside by the people of Xia Ke Island.

  "Gentlemen, please do not be impatient, listen to me for a moment! I am Zhang San, the guardian of the Taixuan Stone Wall on Knight Island. This time, setting up this checkpoint is not because I have any prejudice against you all, but indeed it is for your own good!"

  "Gentlemen, do not be impatient, and listen to me one by one! First of all, since our Xiake Island upholds the spirit of chivalry, you all naturally know what we stand for. Similarly, the martial arts of Xiake Island will never fall into the hands of petty people, causing trouble in the world!"

  "Secondly, the Tai Xuan Stone Wall is the foundation of our Xia Ke Island. The stone wall contains extraordinary martial arts, but it's closely related to literature. Only those with exceptional talent and literary flair can comprehend it. Without corresponding intelligence, one will find it difficult to understand after seeing the stone wall, and may even harm everyone!"

  "Thirdly, the stone wall and stone chamber are naturally formed, with limited space, and cannot accommodate a large number of martial artists. Therefore, the island master ordered us to set up an assessment to select those with exceptional talent to enter the stone cave!"

  Bo Fan heard the words, smiled slightly, no wonder the mystery of Tai Xuan Jing has not been solved for hundreds of years.
