I just want to repair a flute [Martial Arts]

Waves, endless waves.

A magnificent ship was sailing on the calm sea. On the ship were many polite servants and various guests, who were moving slowly between the cabin and the deck.

Inside the cabin, a handsome young man was sitting and playing the zither. The faint sound of the zither came out of the window and drifted far away with the sea breeze. A young girl in green stood outside the cabin door and listened for a while. Only when the song ended did she step into the cabin with a smile.

"You play the piano really well." She looked at the boy with eyes as bright as water. In this world, there were probably few people who could resist her gentle gaze, because she was indeed a very beautiful girl, with skin as white as snow, hair as black as ink, and delicate facial features that were all beautiful, and when combined together, they were even more exquisite, making people sigh that there was such an extraordinary appearance in the world.

However, the young man only smiled at her. His dark eyes were not stunning at all, but rather filled with an indescribable loneliness and desolation. "Miss, you are too kind. It is my honor that my piano music can reach your ears."

"I'm not being polite, I'm just being honest." Seeing that he was gentle and easy to talk to, the girl simply walked into the room and sat down on the stool next to him. "Oh, I haven't heard such normal music for a long time. I'm so moved! If you're still in the mood, can you play another song? I want to hear something more cheerful!"

"Of course." The young man agreed immediately, and he plucked the strings again and played a piece of highbrow music for her. During this time, the girl's eyes kept lingering on his eyes with interest until the end of the song, when she finally couldn't help asking: "How long did it take you to learn the piano? This is the first time I know that a blind person can play the piano so well!"

——It turns out that the boy is blind! That’s why he attracted the girl’s attention when she heard him playing music so smoothly!

Facing her impolite question, the young man still smiled and said, "It will take me several times as long as an ordinary person."

Hearing this, the girl burst out laughing: "No, no, no... I'm afraid that it takes a shorter time than it takes for ordinary people."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"Because normal people think they have a lot of time to learn slowly, but you are different. The piano skills are just a small matter to you. You can play the piano so well, so your martial arts skills must be good!" the girl said. "People should look at you more, so that they can understand that they have double eyes, but are not as good as a blind person! Haha! By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Yuan Suiyun." The young man bowed to her. "May I ask your name, young lady?"

"Me? My name is Yun Chuxiu."

The ship sailed on the sea for several days and finally arrived at the destination on a night with howling sea wind. Yun Chuxiu walked out of the cabin holding her skirt, thinking she could see a brothel full of gold and jade, singing and dancing, but when she looked up, there was no light outside the ship, and apart from the sound of waves hitting the rocks, she could not even hear the slightest human voice.

"What? Is this Bat Island?" She suddenly became unhappy. "Although it is a taboo to have nothing but appearance, how can it attract customers without even the appearance?"

But the rules of Bat Island go far beyond this. After a while, some servants in black appeared at the bow of the boat and tied a rope to the boat. The leader immediately shouted, "Please go aboard!"

——Relying on a thin rope swaying between the waves to reach the shore naturally requires excellent Qinggong. Yun Chuxiu became interested again and asked with a smile: "We have finally come here. If we can't use this rope to reach the island, do we have to go back home?"

The leader smiled and replied: "Don't worry, girl. If you can't get through, we will naturally arrange another way." Yun Chuxiu asked in return: "Since there are other ways, why do you want us to walk on this rope?"

The leader said calmly: "This is the rule of Bat Island. Since it is a rule, it must be followed. Why do you have to ask more questions, young lady? If you don't want to leave, please make way and wait on the side."

Yun Chuxiu chuckled and stepped aside, watching several masters easily pass the rope. Some people approached her and asked her ambiguously if she needed someone to take her to the island, but she refused without hesitation.

Yuan Suiyun also walked up to her and bowed to her: "Miss Yun, if you need anything, I can take you for a ride. If you are worried, I just need to hold your arm."

"No need." Who knew that Yun Chuxiu would smile at him. "I'm just waiting for you."

"...Why?"

"I want to see your Qinggong!" the girl said as a matter of course. "If I don't wait for you to go first, how can I watch? Come on, I'll follow you. If I accidentally fall into the sea, you have to pull me up!"

Hearing this, Yuan Suiyun couldn't help but laugh: "Miss, you want me to walk behind you, and I want you to save you in time. I'm afraid... I'm powerless and I've failed your trust."

"If it were someone else, this would be a matter of course, but for you... you shouldn't be so modest." Yun Chuxiu winked at him, and thinking that he couldn't see, he grabbed his hand and pulled him to the rope. "Mr. Yuan, please."

Hearing her say this, Yuan Suiyun smiled, and then said no more. He just stood up, spread his sleeves, and brought up a gust of wind. When the sound of the wind disappeared, he had disappeared into the darkness.

He didn't even use the ropes for leverage!

Yun Chuxiu looked at his crane-like back flashing by from afar. After a long while, he withdrew his gaze and exclaimed, "It's really a good martial arts." He couldn't help but think in his heart that although this place he came to was quite different from his home, in terms of martial arts, it seemed to be not inferior to his own world at all!
But now that she was here, it was impossible for her to just go back home. She thought about the chips in her hand, and then flew up, using the rope several times to gain leverage, and landed on the dark coast like a dragonfly skimming the water.

There were indeed no lights on the coast, nor any extra light. Yun Chuxiu was wondering what to do next, but an arm stretched out in front of her, and a woman's voice said in her ear: "Please put your hand on mine, girl."

Yun Chuxiu did as she was told immediately. She seemed to understand something vaguely. This dark island did not allow even a single ray of light to exist.

Was it to conceal the dark transactions taking place here? To prevent the guests from discovering each other's identities? Or... did the owner of this island have another purpose?
