Chapter 436

"Li Li Xiaoyao, where the hell did you go? Come out and greet the guests!"

The two chatted as they walked, and before they knew it, they had reached the entrance of the Cloud Comes Cloud Goes Inn. Li Li Furong let out a lion's roar toward the second floor of the inn.

"Coming, coming!"

Soon, a cynical voice came from the second floor, and after a while, a figure ran down.

It really is you, Hu Ge. This cheeky look is truly amusing.

"Guest, you came to our Cloud Comes Cloud Goes Inn; you came to the right place. Our inn is the most famous inn in the entire Yuhang Town. Every day, guests from all over come to our inn. What's that saying again?"

"Your tables and chairs are covered in dust, and there isn't a single guest. Is this what you call 'guests like clouds'?"

"Right, that's it. You don't understand; it's because there are so many people that I don't have time to clean up. As for not seeing anyone, that's because they're all sleeping on the second floor at this hour!"

"Stop talking, the cover is blown!"

Li Li Xiaoyao started to boast in a familiar way, and Li Li Furong interrupted him in embarrassment.

"Cover blown? No way? I think I performed very well!"

Li Li Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, then said in embarrassment.

"You must not know that cultivators have something called spiritual sense. I scanned with my spiritual sense, and apart from your aunt and you, there isn't even a mouse in your inn. Where would other guests come from!"

Lin Fan reached out and brushed his hand, and the dusty tables and chairs were immediately as clean as new. He sat down and asked with a smile.

"Cultivator? Expert! Hero, how about you be my master?"

Seeing this, Li Li Xiaoyao's eyes lit up. He had always had a dream of acting chivalrously, and he had finally met a legendary hero.

"Not interested. Why should I teach you!"

"I'll introduce my aunt to you. She's the flower of our Yuhang Town. If you marry her and then take me in, we'll be master and apprentice, and also family!"

In order to get Lin Fan to take him as an apprentice, Li Li Xiaoyao introduced Li Li Furong to Lin Fan without hesitation.

"You brat, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Li Li Furong couldn't help but slap Li Li Xiaoyao on the forehead.

"Back then, your aunt once used the alias Li Feng. Because she was as beautiful as a fairy and dazzled the Jianghu, and was famous for her 'Cloud-Piercing Palm,' she had the nickname 'Iron Palm Flying Phoenix.' Unfortunately, she married your third uncle, Li Sansheng, and then hid her name for you, living in seclusion with you in this Yuhang Town, struggling day after day for trivial matters and the few pieces of silver for firewood, rice, oil, and salt. That's why she became the middle-aged aunt she is now."

"One can only say that time is a butcher's knife, and every cut urges one to grow fat. Age is a ruthless sword, and every strike forces wrinkles to appear."

Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh. Even the Wine Sword Immortal had once admired Li Li Furong, which shows how beautiful she was back then. It's a pity that she has aged and lost her looks due to overwork. It's truly a pity.

"What! Aunt, you had such a past, and you were a great beauty?"

Li Li Xiaoyao leaned over to Li Li Furong and asked curiously.

"Young Master, who exactly are you? The things from back then shouldn't be things someone of your age would know!"

Li Li Furong pushed Li Li Xiaoyao away and stared at Lin Fan with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, I am neither a friend of your Li family nor an enemy. I just happen to know a little bit more about secret matters."

Lin Fan didn't care about Li Li Furong's guarded stance. Not to mention he had no malice, even if he did, it wasn't something Li Li Furong could stop.

Now that he had converted martial arts to immortality and reached the Shangqing realm, and as a former martial artist, his strength was definitely not something that could be measured by realm. Li Li Furong was not a match for him in a single move.

"Aunt, is our Li family that extraordinary? Why are you acting like you're facing a great enemy?"

Li Li Xiaoyao asked thoughtfully, looking at Li Li Furong's serious expression.

"Then, Young Master, what brings you to Yuhang?"

Seeing that Lin Fan's expression didn't seem fake, Li Li Furong relaxed and poured a cup of tea for Lin Fan.

"For a beauty!"

"A beauty?!! Oh my, Young Master, our age difference is too great, and I have aged and lost my looks; I'm no longer worthy of you. Please don't flirt with me!"

Li Li Furong acted shy and coquettish toward Lin Fan, leaving Li Li Xiaoyao, who was watching from the side, dumbfounded.

Is this still the Rakshasa Ghost Mother in his memory? How is she acting like a girl in love?

"Not for you."

"Cough, cough, cough, not... not for me? But Yuhang is only so big, and I've never heard of any girl who is a great beauty. Looking at your appearance and bearing, Young Master, you shouldn't be interested in ordinary, mediocre beauties, right?"

Li Li Furong was curious. Yuhang Town was only so big, and she had lived here for so many years, yet she had never heard of any beauty in any family.

"There is a legend of Immortal Spirit Island in this Yuhang Town..."

"So you came for the fairy on the island. But that's just a legend. I've never seen it either. I reckon it's fake!"

At this time, Li Li Xiaoyao said somewhat flippantly.

Hearing this, Lin Fan looked deeply at Li Li Xiaoyao. His bond with Ling'er had started ten years ago. How should he cut in?

Both childhood sweethearts and the debt of saving a life are relationships that are hard to poach. It just so happens that Ling'er was saved by him when she was young, leaving a deep impression in her heart. Unless he also traveled back ten years, it would be hard to cut in.

"Hero, why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I have amazing bones and want to take me as an apprentice?"

Li Li Xiaoyao noticed Lin Fan's gaze and immediately asked with a grin.

"Don't worry, someone will naturally teach you how to cultivate before long!"

"Really? Is it from Shushan or the Qingyun Sect? Or Changliu, or perhaps the Five Sects and Six Academies?"

Lin Fan comforted Li Li Xiaoyao, but he didn't expect to get important information. This world was indeed not just the simple Immortal Sword 1 world; it actually had Flower Thousand Bones, Zhu Xian, and other worlds.

It's just that he didn't know if Immortal Sword 3 would also be in this world. But if it really were, everything would be in chaos. Moreover, it would be hard to poach the partners of Zhao Ling'er from Immortal Sword 1, or Tang Xuejian, Xiyao, and Zixuan from Immortal Sword 3.

These couples either had past lives or debts of saving lives, making him very passive. It could be called a "heaven-collapsing" start.

However, as the saying goes, as long as the hoe is swung well, there's no corner that can't be dug. Lin Fan decided to do his best and leave the rest to fate; the corners still had to be dug.

It's just that these "Five Sects and Six Academies" seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them for a moment. However, he definitely had an impression. As long as he saw the people, he would definitely be able to remember.

"Don't be anxious. No matter which sect teaches you, just learn seriously. Li Li Xiaoyao, you are talented and have amazing bones, so you will advance by leaps and bounds in your cultivation. So, don't put your heart into romantic entanglements! Remember, no woman in your heart, the sword will naturally be divine. On the first page of the sword manual, forget your sweetheart!"
