Chapter 727

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

The two of them chatted as they walked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the entrance of the Inn of Clouds Coming and Going. 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 in a short while, a figure ran down.

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

"Guest, you came to our Inn of Clouds Coming and Going; you came to the right place. Our inn is the most famous inn in the entire Yu Hang Town. Every day, guests from all over come to our inn. What's that phrase again?"

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

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

"Stop talking, the act is ruined!"

Li Xiaoyao began to sell his own melons in a familiar way, praising himself. Li Furong interrupted him somewhat awkwardly.

"The act is ruined? No way? I think I performed very well!"

Li Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, and only then said somewhat awkwardly.

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

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

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

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

"Not interested. Why should I teach you!"

"I'll introduce my aunt to you. She is the flower of our Yu Hang Town. If you marry her and then apprentice me, we will be master and disciple, and also relatives!"

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

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

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

"Back then, your aunt once used the alias Li Feng. Because she was as beautiful as a celestial being and famous in the Jianghu, and also famous for her Chuan Yun Palm, she had the nickname 'Iron Palm Flying Phoenix'. It's a pity she married your third uncle, Li Sansheng, and then hid her identity for your sake, living in seclusion here in Yu Hang Town, depending on each other for survival, working hard all day for trivial matters and the few taels of silver for firewood, rice, oil, and salt, which is why she turned into this middle-aged aunt look."

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

Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Even the Wine Sword Immortal had once admired Li Furong, which shows how beautiful she was back then. It's a pity that she is now old and faded due to overwork; it's truly a pity.

"What! Aunt, you actually had this past, and you were a peerless beauty?"

Li Xiaoyao leaned over to Li Furong and asked curiously.

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

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

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

Lin Fan didn't care about Li Furong's defensive stance. Even if he didn't have malicious intent, even if he really did, it wasn't something Li Furong could stop.

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

"Aunt, is our Li family that extraordinary? Why do you have such a look of facing a great enemy?"

Li Xiaoyao looked at Li Furong's solemn expression and asked thoughtfully.

"Then, Young Master, what brings you to Yu Hang?"

Seeing that Lin Fan's expression didn't seem fake, Li Furong set her mind at ease and poured a cup of tea for Lin Fan.

"For a beauty!"

"A beauty?!! Oh my, Young Master, the age difference between us is too big, and I am old and faded; I am no longer worthy of you. Please don't come to flirt with me!"

Li Furong acted coquettishly toward Lin Fan, leaving Li Xiaoyao, who was on the side, dumbfounded.

Is this still the Rakshasa Ghost Mother he remembers? How is she acting like a young girl in love?

"Not for you."

"Cough, cough, cough, not... not for me. But Yu Hang is only so big, and I have never heard of any girl who is a great beauty. Looking at Young Master's appearance and bearing, you probably wouldn't take a fancy to ordinary common beauties, right?"

Li Furong was curious. Yu Hang 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 Yu Hang Town..."

"So you came for the immortal on the island. But that's just a legend, and I haven't seen it either. I reckon it's fake!"

At this time, Li Xiaoyao said somewhat skittishly.

Hearing this, Lin Fan looked deeply at Li Xiaoyao. His connection with Zhao Linger had started ten years ago. How should he intercept this?

This childhood sweetheart and life-saving grace were relationships that were hard to dig into. It just so happened that Zhao Linger had been 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 intercept.

"Why is the hero looking at me like that? Is it because you think I have amazing bones, so you want to take me as an apprentice?"

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

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

"Really? Is it from Mount Shu or the Qingyun Sect? Or Changliu, or perhaps the Five Sects and Six Courtyards?"

Lin Fan comforted Li Xiaoyao, but he didn't expect to get important information. This world was indeed not just the world of Chinese Paladin 1; it actually had The Journey of Flower, Jade Dynasty, and other worlds.

It's just that he doesn't know if Chinese Paladin 3 is also in this world. But if it really is, then everything is in chaos. Moreover, it's hard to dig into the relationships of Zhao Zhao Linger from Chinese Paladin 1, or Tang Xuejian, Xiyao, and Zixuan from Chinese Paladin 3.

These couples either have past lives or life-saving grace, making him very passive; it can be called a disastrous start.

However, as the saying goes, as long as the hoe is danced well, there is no wall that cannot be dug. Lin Fan decided to do his best and listen to fate; if a wall needs to be dug, it must be dug.

It's just that this Five Sects and Six Courtyards seems familiar, but he can't remember where he saw it for a moment. However, he definitely has an impression of it. As long as he sees the people, he will definitely be able to remember.

"Don't be anxious. No matter which sect teaches you, you just need to learn seriously. Li Xiaoyao, you are talented and have amazing bones; you will advance by leaps and bounds when you cultivate. So, don't put your mind on romantic feelings! Remember, there are no women in your heart, and your sword will naturally be divine. On the first page of the sword manual, forget your sweetheart!"
