Chapter 223

"However, Master Shang Xiufang, you don't know martial arts, yet you know my reputation, which makes me a bit flattered."

Lin Fan looked at the peerless beauty in front of him with emotion.

"Heavenly Secret Young Master's reputation is illustrious. Although I perform everywhere, no matter where I go, I can hear your deeds. It would be difficult not to know you!"

Shang Shang Xiufang's words were naturally half-true and half-false. She performed everywhere, so how could she have time to inquire about Lin Fan's affairs? She only occasionally heard guests mention him, and her main understanding of Lin Fan came from the diary copy.

"So my reputation has spread so widely. That's quite surprising."

Lin Fan was a bit stunned, but then he felt relieved. Shang Shang Xiufang's explanation was also quite reasonable.

She performed everywhere, so naturally, many people in the Jianghu watched, and it was not surprising that they mentioned him when talking about things in the Wu Lin.

"Who are you? How did you get up here?"

Just when Lin Fan and Shang Shang Xiufang were talking happily, a woman dressed as a maid walked up to the third floor and questioned Lin Fan.

"Xiao Cui, don't be rude. This is my friend, Heavenly Secret Young Master Lin Fan!"

Shang Shang Xiufang immediately stopped the maid's questioning.

"But Miss, your performance is about to start, and the people below are almost turning the place upside down. You'd better hurry up and prepare for the performance!"

Xiao Cui said anxiously when she heard this.

"Young Master Lin, please excuse me, I have to go prepare for the performance!"

Hearing this, Shang Shang Xiufang looked at Lin Fan with a difficult expression.

"Master Shang Xiufang, please feel free. I will go down and wait!"

Lin Fan had no objections and walked downstairs with a calm demeanor.

"Miss, I was guarding the second floor and didn't see anyone come up. How did he get here? Could he have been hiding in the Yaxian Pavilion for a long time? Then wouldn't your bath just now have been peeked at by him?"

Xiao Cui saw Lin Fan go downstairs and quickly asked Shang Shang Xiufang.

"Stop talking nonsense. Young Master Lin is not that kind of person. Help me prepare. I'm going to start the performance. I have a premonition that this might be my last performance!"

Shang Shang Xiufang suddenly smiled, her beautiful face charming all living things, and even Xiao Cui, the maid, was captivated.

"What? Miss, you said this is your last performance? What exactly is going on?"

Xiao Cui quickly pursued the question.

Unfortunately, Shang Shang Xiufang didn't intend to explain to her and prepared herself.

When Lin Fan walked down from the second floor, he attracted the attention of everyone on the first floor.

"Who is that person? How did he get up there? Did he secretly meet Master Shang Xiufang?"

People were discussing, and some had gloomy faces and cold light in their eyes. They had long regarded Shang Shang Xiufang as their own forbidden fruit. Lin Fan had such intimate contact with Shang Shang Xiufang, so in their eyes, he was already a dead man.

However, Shang Shang Xiufang hated fighting and killing, so they didn't want to cause her disgust by doing it here. But after leaving this place, they would take Lin Fan's life.

Lin Fan didn't care about the surprised, probing, or murderous gazes of the people below. They were just a group of ants; how dare they offend the divine dragon in the sky.

Lin Fan swept his gaze over everyone present, and everyone instantly felt the hair on their backs stand up, with a sense of impending disaster.

They swallowed hard, then looked in horror at the source of the danger, which was Lin Fan, and then lowered their heads, not daring to look again. The scene was silent for a while.

However, as Shang Shang Xiufang's footsteps sounded downstairs, Lin Fan restrained his pressure, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend. A big shot, definitely a top master.

Shang Shang Xiufang didn't exchange pleasantries and started singing. Of course, she didn't need to exchange pleasantries, because her name as Master Shang Xiufang had already spread throughout the Wu Lin.

When the musicians on the second floor started playing, she sang: "Tears fall like rain, wetting the silk clothes; the young master is ungrateful. Sisters clearly said in the beginning, don't give your heart to him. Think carefully, is it good to know him so lightly?"

"The bridal chamber is deep, empty and quiet; I hold my body and mind in loneliness. When he comes, I must pray, don't fall in love with the wild flowers of youth."

"Lightly apply makeup, circle around little; just for the Wuling to be so vast. The snow on the chest, let the gentleman bite, fearing to commit a thousand gold to buy a smile."

Her voice was lazy and quiet, and her vocal technique was flawless. It was as if she was singing, and as if she was sighing. It was like lovers whispering in each other's ears, fascinating.

Lin Fan stared fixedly at Shang Shang Xiufang, who was singing melodiously above. When he heard the content of her singing, Lin Fan revealed a faint smile.

After Shang Shang Xiufang finished a song, after a while, the people who had come back to their senses applauded and cheered.

Lin Fan just listened silently, neither applauding nor cheering. His gaze met Shang Shang Xiufang's above, and both revealed a faint smile.

The interested people present naturally saw this scene. Even though they had just been forced by Lin Fan's pressure, they still couldn't help but feel murderous toward Lin Fan.

Lin Fan didn't care. It wasn't until Shang Shang Xiufang sang a few more small tunes and the performance ended that he leaped up and flew to the second floor.

"Shang Xiufang, I want to invite you to travel the world together, walk to the ends of the earth, snow-capped mountains and grasslands, see the morning glow and evening glow, rainbows and auroras. I don't know if you are willing?"

Lin Fan said to Shang Shang Xiufang affectionately.

"Young Master Lin, is it so sudden? I haven't prepared yet. Aren't you afraid of scaring me?"

Although she said so, Shang Shang Xiufang smiled at the corners of her mouth, clearly not scared, but in a very good mood.

"I am inviting Shang Xiufang to travel together, not to imprison you. Why should you be panicked? If you have any dissatisfaction during the journey, you can leave!"

Lin Fan said with a beaming smile.

"I'm just afraid that once I get on the pirate ship, I won't be able to get off!"

"Wouldn't that be just right?"

Lin Fan revealed an expression that was exactly what he wanted.

"In that case, everyone, this trip to Jinling will be my last performance. From now on, there will be no Master Shang Xiufang in the Jianghu!"

Shang Shang Xiufang first smiled beautifully, then walked gracefully to the railing on the second floor and announced her retirement to the guests on the first floor.

"Don't! Master Shang Xiufang, you must not be fooled by this kid's flowery words. If you want to travel the world, I can also accompany you!"

"That's right, Master Shang Xiufang, how can I live without your singing voice!"

"Master Shang Xiufang, absolutely not! The music world cannot be without you!"

The guests exploded when they heard this and began to persuade Shang Shang Xiufang. Master Shang Xiufang belonged to everyone; how could one person enjoy her alone?

"They are a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven. How is it your turn to oppose?"

Some who wanted to hug Lin Fan's thigh began to angrily rebuke those who opposed.

"I don't care, I just don't accept it!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I don't accept it either. Master Shang Xiufang belongs to all of us!"

Some people were quietly leading the rhythm below, and some brainless people followed suit without knowing why.

"Noisy!"

Lin Fan operated the Dragon Divine Art, and the thick dragon prestige almost scared everyone into peeing themselves, and they didn't dare to speak again.

Lin Fan picked up Shang Shang Xiufang, soared into the sky, landed on the Night-Shining Jade Lion outside, and then turned his horse and left.
