Chapter 120

After toying with Long Xiaoyun for half a day, Lin Fan didn't let Long Xiaoyun eat a single bite of food.

After eating, Lin Fan sealed Long Xiaoyun's mute point again, tied Long Xiaoyun to the top of the carriage, and continued on their way.

This journey was peaceful, and they didn't encounter any more mountain bandits; Lin Fan was quite satisfied, because although these mountain bandits were no threat to them, they were annoying, just like flies.

But Seeing Azi was very disappointed, because without mountain bandits, there was no internal energy for her to absorb.

When Sister Azhu drove the carriage from the forest path onto the main road, someone happened to be driving a carriage from behind, and they even overtook Sister Azhu; the burly man driving the carriage had a fierce figure, a face full of whiskers, and eyes as sharp as a hawk's; Seeing Azi curiously took a few more looks.

"There is an expert!"

Lin Fan, who had been closing his eyes and enjoying a lap pillow, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, where is the expert?" Seeing Azi, outside the carriage, heard what Lin Fan said and was extremely excited.

Brother-in-law said there was an expert, so wouldn't that be a Grandmaster martial artist? If she could absorb his internal energy, then even if she couldn't become a Grandmaster, she could become a peak Innate, right?

"Cough, cough, cough..."

A series of coughs came from the carriage in front, and the burly man driving the carriage slowed down and asked worriedly: "Young Master, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, it's just an old ailment, I won't die yet!" The person in the carriage replied freely.

"Brother-in-law, the expert you mentioned, wouldn't it be that coughing person in the carriage in front? Or that burly man driving the carriage?"

"To you, both are experts!" Lin Fan said lightly.

"Why are there experts everywhere in the Central Plains? When I was in the Starry Sea, only my master, the Starry Old Monster, was an expert!" Seeing Azi was a bit dejected upon hearing this.

"The Starry Sea is a bitter and cold place outside the territory; it's not bad to have one Ding Chunqiu. And what kind of expert is Ding Chunqiu? If you cast aside his poison arts, he is only at the strength of a peak Innate martial artist; he wouldn't even rank in the Central Plains."

"Brother-in-law, the carriage in front has stopped; are they trying to find trouble with us?" Seeing Azi suddenly said excitedly.

"Seeing Azi, don't be so surprised; they might have stopped for other reasons, you can't be afraid that the world won't be in chaos!" Sister Azhu, who was driving the carriage, could not help but scold Seeing Azi.

"I know, Sister!" Seeing Azi lowered her head and admitted her mistake.

However, unexpectedly, the other party actually blocked Lin Fan's carriage.

"Hey, Bearded Guest, why are you blocking the carriage in the middle of the road? Looking for trouble, right?"

Seeing Azi instantly became spirited; this time it was the other party who found trouble first, so it couldn't be blamed on her.

She rode her horse around the other party's carriage and then asked the burly man driving the carriage.

"This young lady, my Young Master is a bit curious as to why you would tie a small child to the top of the carriage, so he ordered me to inquire about it."

"Bearded Guest, your Young Master is meddling too much, right? Does it have anything to do with you?"

Seeing Azi was a bit speechless; people in the Jianghu emphasize that if it doesn't concern them, they should stay out of it; why does the other party like to meddle in other people's business?

"Cough, cough, cough, young lady, I am truly curious, but I see that the child is only eleven or twelve years old; tying him to the carriage is truly a bit excessive. I don't know what grudges you have, and I don't know if I can resolve them a little."

"Brother-in-law, it's the expert you mentioned; what should we do? Should we answer him?"

Seeing Azi rode her horse to the side of Lin Fan's carriage window and asked.

"Seeing Azi, are you afraid? Since when has the fearless Seeing Azi become afraid!" Huang Rong teased Seeing Azi.

"Seeing Azi is not afraid, I just don't want to ruin brother-in-law's business!" Seeing Azi hurriedly said.

Long Xiaoyun on the roof of the carriage saw someone meddling, and that person was the expert Lin Fan mentioned, so he was extremely excited.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't speak and was unable to act, he would have been jumping and asking for help long ago.

Lin Fan opened the carriage window and looked at the carriage opposite; coincidentally, the person in the opposite carriage also looked over.

The man in the carriage, although tall and handsome, looked very haggard, with a sickly look on his face, and he covered his mouth and coughed from time to time, as if he would fall at any moment, but also as if he would never fall.

The corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles, and every wrinkle was filled with the worries and misfortunes of his life; only his eyes were young.

These were a pair of strange eyes, actually appearing to be emerald green, like willow branches blown by the spring breeze, gentle and flexible, and also like the seawater under the summer sun, full of pleasant vitality.

It was these young and lively eyes that brought a silent charm to this down-and-out middle-aged man; I am afraid many women would fall into his gentle gaze and subsequently fall in love with him.

Their eyes met, and Lin Fan smiled; it really is true that life is full of coincidences, and he had actually encountered an acquaintance again; today, he had finally seen one of the "South Jiao, North Gu" of the later generations.

"Oh, you know me? That is truly a coincidence; I have lived outside the pass for a long time, and I didn't expect that the first piece of meddling I did after entering the pass would be with a friend who knows me!"

Lin Fan nodded slightly; this man was worthy of his respect.

Huang Rong and the other women, including Long Xiaoyun on the roof of the carriage, were all extremely surprised; they truly never dreamed that the down-and-out man they encountered on the road would be Li Xunhuan.

"Oh, you recognize me? That is indeed a coincidence; I have lived outside the pass for a long time, and I didn't expect that the first piece of meddling I did after entering the pass would be with a friend who knows me!"

"You say we are friends, even though you don't know my name yet?"

"Friends are friends; cherishing each other and being like-minded can make people friends. I see that you are pleasing to the eye, so I have already regarded you as a friend; as for names, they are just codes."

"Little Li Flying Dagger is truly willful, but becoming your friend is a fortunate thing. I am Lin Fan; meeting Brother Li today is very happy, but it's a pity there is no wine here, otherwise, I would drink a large bowl!"

Being friends with Li Xunhuan is not bad; after all, he is truly good to his friends.

"There is wine, there is wine; how can there be no wine to treat a friend when meeting one!"

Li Xunhuan grabbed the wine pouch at his waist, drank a few large mouthfuls, and then threw it to Lin Fan; Lin Fan caught it and immediately drank it all in one gulp.

"The wine has been drunk; now can Brother Lin tell me why you tied this child to the top of the carriage?"

Li Xunhuan caught the wine pouch Lin Fan threw back and then asked curiously.

"Brother Li doesn't look like someone who likes to meddle; why are you so concerned about this child?"

"It's a coincidence; I have never liked to meddle, but looking at this child, I always feel that I have a connection with him!"

Of course you have a connection with him; the child born of your cousin and your sworn elder brother, how could there be no connection?

"Brother Li might not know, but although this child is young, his personality is sinister, cunning, and ruthless; he is not like a child, but even more like an adult, and he has no sense of awe, so I am teaching him how to be a person."

"So that's it; although he is young, his thoughts are vicious; I think it is caused by his parents' doting. If such a personality develops, he will definitely become a Jianghu disaster in the future; Brother Lin's actions, I admire!"
