Bu Fan, who received the notification, walked out of his room and came to the deck, only to find that the deck was already crowded with people.
In the direction the ship's bow faced, not far from the sea surface, a huge island lay quietly, like an ancient sea beast.
On the deck, the dense crowd gathered in their own small circles, and some well-connected people, like Butler Fu, the old man, were greeting familiar faces everywhere.
Bu Fan just glanced lightly and then saw Bu Yanran standing by a railing at the bow. Beside her were several guards from Bu Family Manor.
At the same time, a handsome young man stood beside Bu Yanran, talking incessantly as if telling her something. Bu Yanran only nodded lightly in response, her face hidden behind a veil, making it impossible to see her expression.
"Miss!" Bu Fan walked to Bu Yanran's side, bowed his head respectfully, and then stood quietly among the guards.
"Hey, Xiao Fan, you're quite talented. You didn't step out of your room once since we boarded the ship. We thought you were lost, and Miss even sent Old Gao to call you!" As soon as Bu Fan stood steady, someone beside him patted his shoulder and said with a smile.
"What I'm more curious about is that this kid doesn't get seasick. He can stay in his room on such a bumpy ship!" Another guard joked.
Bu Fan just smiled lightly and didn't say anything, standing there quietly.
Beside Bu Yanran, the handsome young man seemed to be very talkative, chatting about various topics, but unfortunately, Bu Yanran didn't seem very interested in the conversation.
"Brother Wei, who is that?" Seeing the young man talking incessantly, Bu Fan couldn't help but pull on the sleeve of the guard beside him and asked curiously.
Hearing Bu Fan's question, the guard called Brother Wei glanced lightly at Yue Huanxing, who was still vividly describing the scenery of Central Plains, and a hint of disdain appeared on his lips. He said indifferently, "He is the young master of the Huashan Sect, the 87th-ranked young hero on the last Dragon List!"
"87th on the Dragon List?" Bu Fan's heart stirred slightly. It seemed that Uncle Bu had mentioned that the Dragon List and Phoenix List recorded the young male and female experts under thirty from various sects in the martial world. Each list had over a hundred people, and ranking 87th was quite an achievement for a young generation.
"By the way, Brother Wei, did our Miss make it to the list?" Bu Fan thought for a moment, looked at Bu Yanran, and then asked curiously.
Brother Wei glanced meaningfully at Yue Huanxing and said indifferently, "Our Miss was the 10th on the last Phoenix List. But that year, she was only fifteen. This time, I believe she won't fall out of the top three!"
"Hmph, Yue Huanxing, a toad dreaming of eating a swan. What a delusion!" Another guard said softly at this moment.
Bu Fan nodded subconsciously, then suddenly came to his senses, looked around, and thought with a mix of amusement and frustration, "It seems these were the lines the villain would say!"
Of course, he wouldn't actually say these words, only sighing inwardly.
"Brother, we're about to disembark. Third Uncle asked me to call you back!" At this moment, a young man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes slowly walked up to Yue Huanxing and Bu Yanran, speaking softly to Yue Huanxing, and then gave Bu Yanran a slightly apologetic smile.
"Alright, Linghu Yu, I understand!" Yue Huanxing's face showed a hint of displeasure when he saw the young man with sword-like eyebrows, and he waved his hand impatiently.
Seeing Yue Huanxing's displeased expression, the young man called Linghu Yu showed no fear but said calmly, "Brother, Third Uncle said I must bring you back. Otherwise, I will be severely punished. Please don't make it difficult for me, Linghu!"
Although he said this, his face showed no difficulty.
As soon as Linghu Yu finished speaking, Yue Huanxing's face darkened. As the young master of the Huashan Sect, he was being openly defied by a junior disciple, which was a blow to his dignity!
However, he ultimately maintained his basic composure, apologized to Bu Yanran, and left coldly.
"Heh, it seems the life of the sect leader's lineage in the Huashan Sect is not easy. The Guardian Sword Lineage will definitely overshadow the sect leader's lineage in the next few years!"
"There's no way around it. The sect's ultimate technique, the Nine Swords of Dugu, is in the hands of the Guardian Sword Lineage. Even though the sect leader's lineage has the Purple Mist Divine Skill, it's nothing compared to the Nine Swords of Dugu!"
Seeing Yue Huanxing leave angrily, the guards began to discuss in low voices, and Bu Fan looked curiously at Linghu Yu.
He had a strange intuition that Linghu Yu was also a player!
Unfortunately, the two of them would not have any interaction at this moment!
At this time, the ship slowly docked. Under the arrangement of the ship's attendants, the crowd slowly disembarked and stepped onto侠客岛.
Next, the various sects and factions were assigned rooms and other trivial matters. The Bu Family Manor received a separate courtyard with spacious rooms, so Bu Fan was fortunate enough to get a small single room.
While Bu Fan was considering his next move, he received a notification and went to Butler Fu's room.
"In the next few days, the侠客岛 will host the Laba Festival Porridge Gathering. During this time, I and Miss will be busy with the Laba Festival. Wei Xiao, you take care of them and don't cause any trouble on the island, understood?" Butler Fu said softly, looking at the dozen or so people who followed.
Although his voice was not loud, his words carried an unarguable tone.
Wei Xiao nodded, held his sword with both hands, and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Uncle Fu. I will take good care of the brothers!"
"Good, Bu Fan!" Butler Fu nodded and then turned to Bu Fan, calling him softly.
"Here, Grandpa Fu!" Bu Fan immediately answered respectfully. He dared not disobey the old butler's instructions.
"I know the intention of the Manor Lord in sending you to侠客岛. However, you cannot attend the Laba Festival Porridge Gathering. It concerns the reputation of our Bu Family Manor, and your strength is not enough. But don't worry, I will bring you a bowl of Laba porridge. In the next few days, don't cause any trouble on侠客岛. Remember, the island is now a mix of various forces, and speaking too much can lead to mistakes, understood?" Butler Fu instructed solemnly.
"You few, take good care of this young man and don't let him get into any trouble in this short time!" After speaking to Bu Fan, Butler Fu turned to Wei Xiao and the others.
"Don't worry, Uncle Fu. We will take care of Bu Fan!" Wei Xiao immediately bowed and said solemnly to Butler Fu.
Hearing this, Bu Fan felt a bit bitter. He didn't expect that after arriving at侠客岛, he would lose his freedom. Was this what they called "rejoicing too soon"?
