Ding! You have discovered a new map, Purple Smoke Island, and gained 100 experience points!
...
After Ye Weiming's group landed on the island, the boatman immediately begged them to row away, apparently, as a commoner, he didn't want to get involved in the martial world's strife.
The three NPCs on the boat were kind-hearted people. Seeing his plight and realizing they couldn't leave the island due to their martial arts practice, they simply paid him and let him row away first.
Even as Streamsmeet wanted to stop them, Ye Weiming interrupted him, "According to the plot development, there will be a lot of activity on Purple Smoke Island in the next while. After we complete the mission, we won't worry about leaving. If the boatman wants to leave, let him. It's more important to maintain a good impression in front of the sect's NPC."
The latter nodded and let the matter drop.
