Having secured the yacht, Lin Fan is now just waiting for the yacht seller to deliver his sea driving license. He doesn't care how the license came about, as long as it works.

"Mr. Lin, these are the five certificates." Not long after, Manager Wang arrived at the dock with a bag of files.

"Your yacht has been registered as a member, and we have also paid six months of management fees for you. If you don't need it, you can authorize us to rent it out. Of course, there will be a certain fee for this."

Manager Wang explained everything to Lin Fan in a very clear and detailed manner.

"Okay, no problem, thank you."

"Haha, don't mention it, it's what we should do." He had only met such a big client as Lin Fan in the past six months, and he was too busy trying to curry favor with him.

"By the way, if I may ask, are you preparing to go out to sea today?"

Lin Fan thought for a moment and nodded. "It'll be either today or tomorrow, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Wang's expression turned slightly serious. "It's like this, the typhoon next door has been quite fierce these past two days, and it seems to be moving in our direction. I suggest you don't go out to sea for the time being, and wait a couple of days before making a decision."

"Ah! Is that so? What a pity."

Lin Fan had originally planned to show off his skills by taking the three little princesses and Li Shimin and his wife on a sea voyage, but it seems that this plan will have to be postponed.

There wasn't time to think about it further. Lin Fan smiled and shook hands with Manager Wang. "Thank you for reminding me, otherwise I wouldn't have known about this."

"You're too kind. You are, after all, our customer, and of course we want you to have a good experience."

After saying goodbye to Manager Wang and Coach Xiao Qi, Lin Fan rushed back to the hotel with the files.

"Oh, does that mean those kids can't go out to play?"

The little princess eagerly awaited good news from Lin Fan, but unexpectedly received news of a delayed departure.

"Good girl, Sizi." Lin Fan held the little princess in his arms. "Even if we can't go out to sea these few days, we can still play around the area."

"What are you playing?"

Lin Fan's mind raced. He had eaten and played these past two days, but he really couldn't think of anything else to do.

"Got it!"

Lin Fan suddenly recalled the scene of the little princess catching small crabs on the beach the day before yesterday.

"Brother will take you beachcombing tomorrow!"

"What's this 'beachcombing' nonsense? Can the ocean be driven away?"

The little princess stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief. Even Chang Le and Cheng Yang, who were standing beside her, were thinking the same thing.

"No," Lin Fan said with a smile, shaking his head. "You'll find out tomorrow anyway. Let's go back to the Tang Dynasty first."

Lin Fan planned to inform Li Shimin and the others in advance about the delay in their sea voyage, otherwise Li Shimin might think that Lin Fan didn't want to take the couple on their trip.

Okay.

The little princess was about to leave, but Lin Fan quickly stopped her, saying, "Don't rush, wait a moment."

Lin Fan looked at the mountain of fruit piled up beside him and said, "Mingyue, find some bags and let's take this fruit to the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, we won't be able to finish it all if we leave it here."

"OK."

Before long, the three of them had packed up most of the fruit, leaving the rest for the three little princesses to enjoy. Even if the fruit ran out, Lin Fan could go downstairs to buy some more, since the South Sea Island was never short of fruit.

Mingyue and Qiuxia stayed at the hotel, while Lin Fan and the three little princesses carried their bags and returned to the Tang Dynasty.

Inside the Lizheng Hall, Li Shimin was chatting with Empress Zhangsun when he saw Lin Fan and the others arrive. He immediately stood up happily.

"Hahaha, kid, how's it going? Is your boat ready?"

Although Li Shimin was somewhat displeased by the war with Tuyuhun when he first returned, he was very pleased with Li Chengan's quick thinking throughout the process, which led to his current good mood.

"All ready." Lin Fan nodded with a smile, putting the fruit in his hand aside. "But it might be a few days before we can set sail."

"Oh, why is that? Could it be that something went wrong?" Li Shimin's expression instantly changed from happy to puzzled.

"That's right, there's been a typhoon over there these past few days..."

Lin Fan gave the two a simple explanation of the principles of typhoons.

"Is that so? Well then, safety should be the priority. Let's go in a few days."

Li Shimin knew the principle that "a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall." Hearing Lin Fan say it was so serious, he dared not joke about the lives of himself, his wife, and his three daughters.

"Fan'er, have some tea." Empress Zhangsun picked up the teapot and poured Lin Fan a bowl of tea.

"Thank you, Mother." After taking a couple of sips of tea, Lin Fan casually asked, "How are things? Has anything gone wrong in the Tang Dynasty these past two days?"

"Hahahaha!" Lin Fan's words seemed to have touched Li Shimin's sore spot, and the next second he suddenly burst into laughter.

"You have no idea, it's a good thing I came back early, otherwise I would have really missed a good show."

Seeing Li Shimin smiling so happily, Chang Le asked curiously, "What's wrong, Father? What's the show?"

"It's all because of your elder brother," Li Shimin said, stroking his beard.

"Brother? Your Highness, the Crown Prince?"

"Hmm." Li Shimin nodded. "Who else could it be but him?"

Although Li Shimin maintained a smile, Chang Le's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "Father, what's wrong with my elder brother, the Crown Prince?"

"He did something big this morning!" Li Shimin said, a hint of excitement rising on his face.

"What's going on? Has he rebelled?"

Just as Chang Le was wondering whether she should continue asking, Lin Fan, who was standing next to her, blurted out something without thinking.

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Li Shimin's excited expression froze for a moment, and he even choked on his own saliva the next second. Empress Zhangsun quickly patted Li Shimin's back gently.

Chang Le stood there dumbfounded, her gaze shifting back and forth between Lin Fan and Li Shimin. Lin Fan could only awkwardly lower his head.

Damn it, why bring up something I shouldn't have said? Judging from Li Shimin's expression, it seems he really guessed right.

Lin Fan was already considering whether he should take the little princess and run away first.

After a long while, Li Shimin finally looked up, his face flushed, and stared at Lin Fan. "Guanyinbi, look at this! Can't this kid just wish his brother some better luck?"

Empress Zhangsun shook her head with a helpless smile. Although Lin Fan's words were not very pleasant, it was impossible for her to reprimand him.

"Alright, Your Majesty, Fan'er's words were merely innocent childish talk."

Empress Zhangsun learned this word during her time in the afterlife. Although she knew it was inappropriate to use it in this context, she mainly wanted to liven up the atmosphere.

"Childish talk?" Li Shimin pointed at Lin Fan. "Is this kid still a child? When I was his age, the children were already... ugh!"

Before Li Shimin could finish speaking, a burning pain shot through his waist.
