Chapter 94

Seeing Uncle Bu Er's suddenly serious expression, Bu Fan was somewhat surprised. He then carefully examined himself, finding nothing unusual, but he couldn't understand why Uncle Bu Er's expression had suddenly changed.

At this moment, Uncle Bu Er's expression suddenly returned to normal. He gave Bu Fan a meaningful look and then said softly, "Kid, the Lord of the Manor wants to see you. Follow me!"

"The Lord wants to see me?" Bu Fan looked at Uncle Bu Er with a puzzled expression, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

To be honest, Bu Fan had never met the Lord of Bu Family Manor before!

However, he had seen the Lord's martial arts. When Duan Wentian came to challenge, the Fire麟Sword was mighty, but in the end, it was easily defeated by a sword shadow in the air, and the enemy was defeated with ease!

"Come on, follow me. The Lord asked me to take you to the back courtyard to see him!" Uncle Bu Er didn't pay attention to Bu Fan's thoughts. He just said softly and then walked forward.

Bu Fan subconsciously followed Uncle Bu Er, heading towards the so-called back courtyard.

To be honest, Bu Fan had never been to the back courtyard of Bu Family Manor before, as it was where the Lord's closest relatives lived. Apart from Uncle Bu Er, the steward Fu, and a few other trusted people, the other servants and guards of Bu Family Manor all lived in the front courtyard.

The back courtyard was very large, really very large. After Bu Fan arrived, he realized that Bu Family Manor was actually so vast.

However, unlike the pavilions and gardens he had imagined, the back courtyard, though large, was quite open.

Some exquisite courtyards were scattered throughout, but they were quite far apart. Each courtyard had a large training ground, clearly for the convenience of martial arts practice.

After advancing several hundred meters, a small lake finally appeared before Bu Fan's eyes.

This place seemed to have already left the scope of the back courtyard. Although it was called a small lake, it actually looked quite large to Bu Fan.

In the center of the lake was a small island, about the size of a football field. A painted corridor led straight to the shore!

"Sword Cottage"

These two large characters were written on the signboard at the entrance of the painted corridor. Bu Fan looked up, and his heart inexplicably trembled!

"Go along this painted corridor to the island. In the center of the island, there is a thatched cottage. The Lord of the Manor is waiting for you there!" Uncle Bu Er brought Bu Fan to the entrance of the painted corridor, stopped, and said softly to him.

Bu Fan nodded solemnly and then slowly walked along the painted corridor.

Just as he stepped onto the painted corridor, Bu Fan felt an inexplicable heavy pressure in his heart, and a cold sweat involuntarily broke out on his forehead.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something very terrifying in the lake water beneath his feet. A mysterious and ominous aura unconsciously invaded his heart, making him feel as if he had thorns in his back!

But once he calmed down and carefully examined, he found that the calm lake water showed no signs of disturbance, and everything seemed to be his imagination!

Sigh!

Bu Fan took a deep breath, dispelled the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and stepped towards the end of the painted corridor.

Despite the inexplicable pressure in his heart that still appeared from time to time, Bu Fan was not affected.

He had a vague guess about the source of this ominous pressure!

When Bu Fan walked through the painted corridor and stepped onto the island, the inexplicable pressure that had enveloped his heart instantly dissipated.

Instead, a sense of inexplicable ease and joy filled his heart. Sunlight penetrated the forest and fell on the island, leaving spots of light.

From time to time, the forest echoed with the chirping of birds, as if they were expressing their joy.

A path of blue stone bricks connected to the painted corridor, leading deep into the forest.

Bu Fan followed the blue stone brick path into the depths of the forest! Walking in the quiet forest, two ancient poems suddenly came to his mind.

The cicadas' noise makes the forest even quieter, the birds' chirping makes the mountain even more secluded!

However, there was no time for too much reflection, as a simple thatched cottage had already appeared at the end of the blue stone brick path!

It was a clearing in the forest, with sunlight streaming down from the sky, forming a beam of light that harmonized with the surrounding mountains and forests, exuding the aura of a hermit sage.

"Bu Fan, come in!"

Just as Bu Fan reached the thatched cottage, before he could speak, a calm and gentle voice came from inside the cottage, and the door opened automatically.

Bu Fan walked in somewhat nervously and was surprised to find that the interior of the thatched cottage was very simple!

The thatched cottage was divided into three rooms. In the middle was an incense altar, and on the altar hung an ancient and simple portrait!

The person in the portrait held a strangely shaped long sword, wearing a fiery red cloak, exuding an aura of looking down on the world!

Bu Fan immediately recognized the person in the portrait. It wasn't because of the clothing or the shape of the sword, but because the image in the portrait was almost identical to the image of Bu Jingyun from the "Feng Yun" TV series he had watched in his previous life.

Or, this was the image of Bu Jingyun dressed by a certain celebrity!

"Do you recognize the person in the portrait?" At this moment, a gentle voice came from the adjacent room, breaking Bu Fan's surprise and criticism.

Bu Fan turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in coarse linen clothes coming out of the left bedroom.

The man looked to be in his forties, with a refined appearance, more like a learned scholar than the head of a martial arts family.

"Meeting the Lord!" Bu Fan quickly bowed and respectfully said to him.

"It's fine, no need to be so formal. Speaking of which, I am your elder, so you should call me Uncle! Sit down. Today, Uncle just wants to chat with you and see what our martial arts prodigy is like!" The man said gently to Bu Fan. There was not a hint of arrogance about him, but rather a very approachable feeling.

"The Lord flatters me, I am far from being a martial arts prodigy!" Bu Fan gently shook his head and said softly.

"Ha ha, the person who could unravel the secrets of the Tai Xuan stone wall for a hundred years is no ordinary person! Your story has been told to me by the two brothers Long and Mu from侠客岛. It's a great comfort to me that you refused the invitation from侠客岛and returned to our Bu Family Manor with all your heart!" The man said gently to Bu Fan again.

Bu Fan understood. No wonder he was summoned as soon as he returned; it turned out that侠客岛had already sent a letter!

I woke up in the morning to find a power outage, and the power didn't come back until 6 PM. I missed a chapter at noon, and I will make it up soon!
