Chapter 95

"Xiao Fan, you must be a possessed person, right?" At this moment, the manor lord sat down, picked up the teapot on the table, and gently poured a cup of tea, then said to Bu Fan with a casual air.

"Yes!"

Bu Fan was not too surprised. These original residents seemed to have a clear understanding of the identity of possessed people.

"Indeed. If my guess is correct, our second young miss is also possessed. And you should have appeared about a month ago, just a few days before that Du family boy came, right?" The manor lord nodded gently and asked again.

"Yes, Lord!" Bu Fan answered honestly.

"Don't be too formal, Xiao Fan. I said you can call me Uncle. I called you here this time to chat with you and the other possessed people. There's no need to be too nervous. Actually, I wanted to talk to that second girl, but she is too guarded against me and only wants to learn martial arts!" The man said calmly to Bu Fan.

"Did you enter this world to learn martial arts?" The man gently placed a full cup of tea in front of Bu Fan and said softly, as if it were just a casual chat.

"Yes, Uncle!" Bu Fan nodded, now understanding the meaning of what Qiao Yurou had said.

Don't treat the martial world as a game; it's a real world!

This didn't mean that the martial world was indeed a real world, but rather that the NPCs in the martial world, like the two island lords Long and Mu, the manor lord of Bu Family Manor, Bu Yanran, and the Hangzhou Prefect Ji Xuan, had the same level of thinking as real humans.

So, if he treated them with the same mindset as he would an NPC, Bu Fan knew the outcome would be tragic.

Just like the second young miss of Bu Family Manor, who was also a player, but her presence in the manor was really very low.

People like Uncle Bu Er never discussed this second young miss, as if she were invisible.

At first, Bu Fan thought she was diligently practicing martial arts, but now it seemed the root of the problem was here.

"I see. You came to this world to learn martial arts, which is also the will of heaven! No wonder even the old monsters in the imperial city have paved the way for you!" The manor lord sighed.

"Did you refuse the invitation from侠客岛 (Isle of Heroes) and want to return to Bu Family Manor just to learn the martial arts here?" The manor lord suddenly stared intently at Bu Fan and asked.

At that moment, Bu Fan suddenly felt an inexplicable thought invade his mind, and a huge pressure like a mountain pressed on his heart, making his spirit momentarily dazed.

"Half and half! I do indeed hope to learn the martial arts of Bu Family Manor, but on the other hand, this place is also my home, where my family is. I don't want to abandon this place!" Bu Fan subconsciously answered according to his thoughts.

The moment he finished speaking, the mountain-like pressure instantly dissipated, and the manor lord in front of him still had the appearance of an old farmer.

"Sorry, Xiao Fan, I just wanted to hear your honest answer!" The manor lord picked up the teacup, sipped a mouthful of hot tea, and said gently to Bu Fan.

That calm demeanor made Bu Fan's dissatisfaction vanish instantly.

Some people have a strong charisma that can influence those around them.

"From what you say, you seem to know a lot about the martial arts in the manor, but the second girl knows nothing about them. Could it be that there are differences among possessed people?"

"Yes, just like in the martial world, some people are eloquent and well-versed in ancient and modern knowledge, while others are simple-minded and illiterate. Even among possessed people, there are differences!" Bu Fan nodded and answered.

The manor lord nodded, suddenly looked up at the painting hanging in the center, and said, "Right, Xiao Fan, you haven't answered my question yet. I saw you staring at the painting. Do you know the person in the painting?"

Hearing the manor lord's question, Bu Fan fell silent, unsure whether to answer. The manor lord did not press him, but leisurely continued his tea ceremony.

"Bu Jingyun!" Bu Fan slowly uttered three words!

The manor lord's arm, which was brewing tea, paused involuntarily upon hearing Bu Fan's words, hovering in mid-air for a moment before resuming its normal movement.

"Very good! Indeed, you have keen eyes. So, you must know about the deeds of Jingyun's ancestors?" The manor lord asked Bu Fan in a deep voice.

"I know a little!" Bu Fan answered briefly.

"Very good. Since that's the case, let me ask you, do you want to become my disciple?" The manor lord suddenly said.

This question was like a bomb, instantly shattering the calm state of mind Bu Fan had just achieved.

So easy to become a disciple?

Isn't this a hidden martial arts family?

Isn't this a family that has inherited supreme martial arts? Could they really take on disciples so casually?

At that moment, Bu Fan's heart was filled with a myriad of emotions. The opportunity to learn martial arts, which he thought would be fraught with difficulties, had now appeared so easily before him.

"What, you don't want to?" The manor lord looked at Bu Fan and asked softly.

"No, it's just that I don't know how to say it?" Bu Fan hurriedly shook his head.

"Is it because it's too simple, and the sense of anticipation is gone, leaving you without a sense of achievement?" The manor lord suddenly smiled and asked.

Bu Fan was momentarily speechless, but upon reflection, it was indeed the case. Because he knew too much, he had treated joining Bu Family Manor as a high-difficulty quest, but in the end, the process turned out to be so simple. The huge sense of anticipation was shattered, and this was his current state of mind.

"Actually, the path of martial arts is sometimes better when it's simple. Thinking too much can easily lead you astray. For example, the Tai Xuan Stone Wall. For hundreds of years, if martial artists hadn't thought it was too profound, the supreme martial arts on the Tai Xuan Stone Wall would have been broken long ago, wouldn't they?" The manor lord gently taught.

"Yes, Uncle, that's what the Buddhists call the obstacle of knowledge, right?" Bu Fan suddenly understood and said softly.

"Very good, you are teachable! It seems your talent is indeed high, which proves that I haven't chosen the wrong person!" The manor lord said softly.

However, at that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a pretty girl stormed into the room.
