I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 1059 - 1060 Departure

Chapter 1059 -1060 Departure

Southern Continent, by the seacoast.

The ships continuously docked and departed.

The Icy Frost Sect’s cultivators decorated with lanterns and streamers, as gongs and drums resounded to the skies, reverently saw off the two young masters of the Han Family as they boarded the ship.

“Wishing the young masters a triumphant return, bringing prestige to our clan!”

“After today, the entire Central Origin Realm will probably know that two unparalleled geniuses have emerged from our Icy Frost Sect!”

“Being so young and already stepping into the ranks of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, becoming disciples favored by the heavens, it’s expected that they will achieve remarkable results in the competition arena, truly a blessing for the sect!”

The disciples looked at the two being honored like stars amidst the moon as they walked onto the ship, their gazes filled with envy.

“Thank you all our fellow sect brothers for your high regard. On this voyage, not only do my brother and I represent ourselves, but we also bear the dignity of our sect. I, Han Buxia, assure everyone that our trip to Ice Dragon Island will surely not fail our mission and will show the world a different side of the Icy Frost Sect!”

Han Buxia clasped his fists and smiled, speaking solemnly to the sect disciples.

“Does the younger brother have anything to say?”

Han Buxia turned to Han Dezhu beside him, asking with a smile on his face.

“There’s nothing more, big brother’s words are also my words.”

Han Dezhu said with a forced smile, lagging behind and allowing Han Buxia to steal the limelight.

“Dezhu and Buxia are both outstanding, which is very good. They’re young but possess such poise, not bringing disgrace to our clan.”

The Sect Leader and a group of elders followed from behind, very pleased with the performance of the two on the ship’s deck.

Neither servile nor overbearing, with graceful demeanor, they are truly worthy of being the young masters of the Icy Frost Sect.

“Board the ship!”

A middle-aged man called out boldly.

This was a middle-aged man with an aura of great authority, his eyes like stars and his brows like swords, exuding an extraordinary demeanor. Even from hundreds of meters away, one could feel the powerful presence emanating from his body.

Li Xiaobai squinted slightly as he sized up the other person; this was the Sect Leader of the Icy Frost Sect, and also the only Saint Realm expert within the sect.

Though he was facing a Saint Realm expert, he was very confident in his Human Skin Mask. The mask, bought with top-grade Immortal Stones, had undergone a transformation, and even a Saint Realm expert would be unable to recognize him without employing some special means.

“Li Xiaobai, it has already been decided that your two elder brothers will undertake the journey to Ice Dragon Island. Your cultivation level and temperament are both lacking, so there’s no need for you to go and potentially cause unnecessary misunderstandings.”

“I am relieved to see that you can associate with the cultivators from the Huo Family. This shows that you have truly grown up, knowing how to forge good relationships and share the sect’s concerns. However, there are some things that still need to comply with the arrangements of the sect. The competition arena on Ice Dragon Island is a battleground for heroes from all over the world, not a place for you to step onto.”

The middle-aged man turned his head and slowly said to Li Xiaobai and his group.

At that moment, Li Xiaobai and the group from the Huo Family were preparing to board another ship and stopped their steps as they heard these words.

“This trip to Ice Dragon Island only represents myself, not related to the sect, so there’s no need for the Sect Leader to worry about anything.”

Li Xiaobai clasped his fists and spoke slowly.

“The third young master really intends to go to Ice Dragon Island?”

“How audacious he is. Does he intend to disregard the sect’s decrees?”

“How can a child born from a concubine be compared to the two young masters from the principal wife’s lineage?”

“Han Dezhu and Han Buxia are truly gifted by nature, not only strong in cultivation talents but their connections are also extensive. On Ice Dragon Island, amongst the numerous talented individuals, who wouldn’t give a thumbs up when mentioning Young Master Buxia?”

“Although this Han Buzhu also has a cultivation at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, his strength falls far short, and he’s even less known. If he shows up, I’m afraid he might bring disgrace to the Icy Frost Sect!”

Disciples buzzed with incessant discussions. They had heard about Li Xiaobai’s arrogant behavior today and never expected he would actually go to Ice Dragon Island, let alone with the other two young masters. His skin was indeed thick.

On the deck of the ship.

Han Buxia and Han Dezhu stared down at Li Xiaobai and his group, a cold smirk forming on their lips.

“This third brother is really too naive,” Han Buxia said with a trace of mockery in his eyes. “Does he actually think he can dazzle on the arena with his own abilities and win the favor of the cultivators from Ice Dragon Island?”

“Big brother, third brother has his own thoughts. We don’t need to hound him. By the way, I heard that big brother recently made a fortune, spending ten million top-grade Immortal Stones to buy those twelve medicinal herb shops from the third brother. Really sky-high spirit! If not for this, I would have never known big brother was so wealthy. It’s truly enviable!” Han Dezhu said cheerfully to Han Buxia, though a vicious light flickered deep in his eyes.

“Merely ten million, that’s not even considered money. How can you play around with that?”

“Dear brother, the world of cultivation is cruel. If you can’t even come up with ten million top-grade Immortal Stones, you might as well find a class to join.”

Han Buxia, too, spoke with a light smile, his words dripping with sarcasm, much to the irritation of Han Dezhu, whose face turned from green to purple.

“Big brother’s teachings, I’ll remember them well.”

Han Dezhu dropped the comment coldly and said no more.

Below.

The mid-aged man’s face clearly took on an ugly turn.

“Sect Leader?”

“Han Buzhu, today of all days, you’re not willing to even call me father?”

“It’s understandable for a young person to be rebellious, but if it’s just petulance, it’s unnecessary. The trip to Ice Dragon Island is a great opportunity for the Icy Frost Sect to build relations with many forces. It’s beneficial for the younger generation to get to know each other, and for the sect’s upper echelons to network. I hope you can prioritize and discern what’s important!”

A wave of anger surged in the man’s heart. He was inclined to erupt but still held back. Today was a great day for the two young masters to set off, and he didn’t want to spoil it because of Han Buzhu.

“Sect Leader, the person standing here today is merely a common Sect Disciple, not the blood relative of anyone. I go to Ice Dragon Island only to broaden my horizons and will not cause trouble. I hope the Sect Leader can grant this.”

“Besides, the three brothers traveling together can make a good story. Taking this opportunity to improve our brotherly relations can also be a pleasing tale.”

Li Xiaobai spoke earnestly.

“Father, the third brother is right. Why not bring him along? It’ll be good for him to gain some experience and see the world outside. If danger arises, big brother and I can handle it.”

“Isn’t that right, big brother?”

Han Dezhu suddenly interrupted, taking the initiative to invite Li Xiaobai aboard. He planned to do away with this third brother on the ship and then slowly take over Immovable Peak. Thus, if they were later blamed for not protecting well, both Han Buxia and he would shoulder the responsibility, and the punishment wouldn’t be too severe.

“Second brother is right. Third brother, come up. Since you want to broaden your horizons, I will take you on a trip to see those young elites!”

Han Buxia’s eyes flashed coldly, but his face bore a smiling expression.

“Fine, since both your brothers agree, as your father, I naturally can’t object. Han Buzhu, follow your two brothers closely, and don’t cause any trouble abroad,” the middle-aged man said leisurely.

He was well aware of the game of brotherly rivalry. These three brothers were like cultivating poisonous insects, fighting each other relentlessly, and only the one who survived could qualify to inherit the family business. He himself had come through it all in the same way.

“Thank you two brothers for making it possible!”

“Thank you, Sect Leader, for making it possible!”

Li Xiaobai boarded the large ship with Uncle Huo and his group, utterly unconcerned with the astonished looks from those around.

Han Buxia nodded slightly. “Set sail!”
