Chapter 109: The Storyteller

"Speaking of which, that Young Master Tianji exposed the little thoughts of Zhao Qiansun and Master Zhiguang. It turns out that these two were not sincerely repenting, but wanted to use Qiao Feng's sense of chivalry to escape accountability."

"Originally, Gang Leader Qiao had already softened his heart and didn't want to take action against Zhiguang, who had lost all his martial arts. But Young Master Tianji saw through everything, how could he not know Zhiguang's fake benevolence and righteousness? So he ordered his maid to cut off Zhiguang's dog head with one sword!"

An old man with white hair, holding a dry pipe and wearing ragged clothes, was vividly describing the events that happened at Almond Forest on the second floor.

Beside him was a young girl, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with two big braids, a pair of big black and bright eyes, and when her eyes turned, it was as if she could hook a man's soul.

"Good!" Many guests on the second floor clapped and cheered.

Lin Fan walked up to the second floor and happened to encounter the storyteller talking about his own deeds.

Case solved, his reputation was spreading everywhere, and it turned out this storyteller had contributed to it.

Could this storyteller be galloping on a fast horse, telling stories everywhere to help him promote his reputation?

"Grandfather, Grandfather, look quickly!"

The braided girl discovered Lin Fan's group walking up to the second floor. She looked at them with her big eyes and secretly pulled the storyteller's sleeve.

The white-haired old man frowned, turned to look, and after a careful look, a surprised expression appeared on his face, clearly having recognized who had come.

"Old Man Sun, keep talking, what happened next!"

The guests were still immersed in the Almond Forest incident, and when the storyteller stopped, they were somewhat dissatisfied.

"If you want to know what happened next, listen to the next installment!"

The white-haired old man waved his hand, signaling that today's storytelling was over.

"Sigh, what a disappointment. I still want to know what happened to Gang Leader Qiao in the end, and the mastermind behind the scenes is still unknown!"

"He is naturally fine. I heard his father is also not dead and is hiding in the Shaolin Temple's Library Pavilion. The leader is Abbot Xuanci of the Great Song Shaolin, and the mastermind is the Xianbei descendant Murong Bo. Let me tell you..."

There were also well-informed Jianghu heroes who already knew about this and began to talk to the people next to them, taking over the storyteller's job.

"This old man and young lady, if you don't mind, how about sitting at the same table with us?"

Lin Fan found three tables in the corner with the women and invited the white-haired old man and the braided girl.

"Okay, okay!"

The braided girl excitedly pulled the white-haired old man over.

The storyteller, who wanted to refuse, was pulled by his granddaughter to Lin Fan.

"Old man, young lady, please sit!"

Lin Fan signaled for the two to sit down, and Lv He poured tea for them.

"I'm not called 'young lady,' I'm called Sun Xiaohong, and this is my grandfather Sun Baifa. You can just call me Xiaohong!"

The braided girl sat down openly and impatiently introduced herself and her grandfather to Lin Fan, her voice crisp like a yellow oriole coming out of a valley.

Sun Baifa shook his head and smiled bitterly. This granddaughter, people hadn't even asked yet, and she had revealed everything. After walking in the Jianghu with him for so many years, she hadn't learned any of his caution.

After Sun Xiaohong introduced herself and her grandfather, she stared at Lin Fan, her moving big eyes filled with various emotions, not knowing if it was surprise, joy, admiration, or longing.

"Miss Sun..."

"I don't have the surname 'Miss,' nor am I called 'young lady.' Why do you always call me 'young lady'?"

Lin Fan just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Sun Xiaohong again.

"Xiaohong, what are you doing? How could you tell people everything, and be so unreserved!"

Sun Baifa scolded Sun Xiaohong in a low voice, his words full of "hating that iron cannot become steel."

"Even if I said it, I only said it to him, he... he is not someone else!"

Azi looked at Sun Xiaohong playfully when she heard this, and then looked at Lin Fan. Not bad, Brother-in-law, when did you go out to flirt behind our backs?

"Cough, cough, hello Miss Xiaohong and Old Man Sun. I am Lin Fan, this is Rong'er, Lv He, Azhu, Abi, Yuyan, Mo Chou, Wushuang, Lingbo!"

Lin Fan felt Azi's playful gaze, coughed awkwardly, and introduced the women to Sun Xiaohong and Sun Baifa.

"Brother-in-law, there's also me. My name is Azi, I'm Azhu's sister!"

Seeing Lin Fan didn't introduce her, Azi immediately jumped out to introduce herself.

"I guessed it was you long ago. Except for you, there wouldn't be anyone else..."

Sun Xiaohong ignored Azi and began to speak excitedly. While speaking, she looked at Lin Fan with soul-hooking big eyes, which made Lin Fan somewhat unable to bear it. Fortunately, she was interrupted by Sun Baifa.

"The name of Young Master Tianji, Lin Fan, is like thunder to the ears. It is a great joy in life to see you today!"

"Old man, don't mock me. How dare I call myself 'Young Master Tianji' in front of Old Man Tianji? It's really showing off in front of an expert!"

Lin Fan was grateful to Sun Baifa for helping him out, after all, Sun Xiaohong's gaze made him somewhat unable to bear it.

But this name "Young Master Tianji," in front of Old Man Tianji, it was better not to take it out and embarrass himself.

"This old man has been drifting in the Jianghu under an assumed name, telling stories for many years. You were able to recognize me at a glance. How dare you say you don't understand the 'Heavenly Secret'?"

Sun Baifa looked at Lin Fan in surprise. He didn't expect Lin Fan to see through who he was at a glance.

This, it couldn't be explained. Lin Fan felt like Chang Wei now: I really don't know martial arts, ah no, I really don't know how to calculate the "Heavenly Secret"!

"Young man, to know is to know, not to know is not to know. The waves of the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and each wave is stronger than the last. At my age, I have seen through everything. I won't mind you using this name 'Young Master Tianji,' otherwise I wouldn't have been telling stories everywhere to promote your reputation!"

Sun Baifa thought Lin Fan was being modest to take care of his feelings, so he educated him.

I can't explain this clearly. Fine, fine, "Young Master Tianji" it is.

"Old man, you are promoting my reputation, aren't you trying to lead the disaster to the east?"

Since he had accepted it calmly, Lin Fan began to joke with Sun Baifa.

"There is a part of that reason. This old man is getting older, and my energy is fading. Carrying such a big name is no longer an honor, but a burden. Bai Xiaosheng's 'Weapon Spectrum' ranking me first is truly bringing disaster to me. It just so happens that Young Master Tianji has emerged, so this old man thought he should add more burden to the young people."

"Is there another reason?"

"The other reason is my granddaughter who doesn't live up to expectations. She hopes that I will spread your deeds to all corners of the world, to make a name for you, and make you famous in the Jianghu!"

As he spoke, Sun Baifa looked at his granddaughter again, "hating that iron cannot become steel," but found that Sun Xiaohong only had Lin Fan in her eyes and didn't even look at him.

"Old man, aren't you afraid that my name 'Young Master Tianji' has too much water in it, and instead I'll lose my life?"

"Young man, having a loud name is certainly glorious, but what comes with it is responsibility and consequences. Your name wasn't spread by this old man; without this old man, it would still spread throughout the entire Jianghu. When the time comes, the result will be the same. You must know that in the Jianghu, one is not the master of one's own fate. You are like this, this old man is like this, and everyone in this Jianghu is like this. No one can avoid it!" ===== CHAPTER 111 =====
