Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Sai Feifei touched his nose, wondering if he had done something wrong. He had only brought the little girl along because he felt sorry for her. However, he did not expect that Hua Yan would be the niece of this Xia Dynasty.
At this moment, Sai Feifei spotted Xiao Baishu passing by not far away. He left the place where the atmosphere was not right, under the pretext of greeting an old friend.
"Hey! Xiao Baishu!" Sai Feifei ran over and put his hand on Xiao Baishu's shoulder. He casually asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you eat enough for lunch? Now you've taken two more steamed buns..."
"I... before the big battle, of course I need to take good care of my health." Xiao Baishu answered somewhat reluctantly. He didn't bother to reminisce with Sai Feifei, but instead pushed Sai Feifei's hand away and walked directly from the deck into the cabin, and then into his own room.
Sai Feifei touched her chin, probably sensing that something was wrong with Xiao Baishu.
After about two days, the ship finally docked.
In the middle of the sea, there is a verdant island. When the sea mist rises, the island seems to be shrouded in fairy mist. Pavilions and towers stand on the island, the vegetation is lush and green, and birds sing and flowers are fragrant. People who step on it are momentarily in a daze and feel as if they have entered a fairyland. This is how the island got its name, Guanxian Island.
It is said that Guanxian Island has a vast collection of martial arts manuals, and even an ordinary servant on the island possesses unparalleled martial arts skills. However, Guanxian Island never engages in worldly affairs, nor does it get involved in the conflicts between the righteous and the evil. Only once every fifty years will the island's lord step out to act as the arbiter of the war.
The person who came to greet the people from both the righteous and the evil paths was the manager of Guanxian Island. The manager led everyone to a grand hall called Tingyu Tower, where wine and drinks had been prepared to welcome them.
Although Hua Yan was sitting next to Xia Chao, she couldn't take her eyes off Ling Jiusheng when he appeared.
Naturally, Ling Jiusheng paused slightly upon seeing Hua Yan here. He hadn't expected Hua Yan to be here as well. And just as Feng Guang had predicted, Hua Yan had indeed interacted with Ling Jiusheng during the time she was away from the Hidden Military Bureau.
Ling Jiusheng withdrew his gaze, picked up his wine glass, took a sip of wine, but it was impossible to tell what he really thought of Hua Yan.
Hua Yan lowered her head in disappointment.
The drinks were finished, but the island lord of Guanxian Island still hadn't appeared. One of the underworld figures was the first to ask, "Where's the island lord? Why hasn't he come out yet?"
"We've been waiting for almost an hour, hoping the war to stop soon so we can go home!" someone shouted. "What does it mean that your island lord hasn't come out yet?"
"Please be patient, everyone." The old man in charge smiled kindly. "The island lord is delayed by some business and will probably be a little late. In the meantime, if you're not going, please come and see the treasures collected by our Guanxian Island."
treasure?
These two words silenced a group of people. As everyone knows, Guanxian Island is not a sect, but its mystery and legends have been circulating in the martial arts world. There are many peerless martial arts manuals and rare treasures.
The old steward smiled, clapped his hands, and immediately servants brought out several items, while a maid replaced the incense burner.
"Please take a look, everyone." The old steward walked up to something, a white jade stone about the size of an egg, sparkling like a star. "This is a white jade luminous pearl. White jade luminous pearls are rare outside, but I dare say that the largest white jade luminous pearl is only found on our Guanxian Island."
