Chapter 139 Lotus Tower 13

One day three years later, the weather was clear and sunny.

In a teahouse, a storyteller was standing on the stage telling a story. Suddenly, a crisp sound was heard, and then a book fell on the storyteller's head.

"Snapped!"

"Ouch!" The storyteller cried out in pain, rubbed his head and looked at the audience, and found that the person who threw the book was a young and handsome man.

"Boy, what's wrong with you? How dare you hit me!" the storyteller said angrily.

"Sorry, my hand slipped." The man smiled apologetically, then took out a silver ingot from his pocket and placed it on the table. "I apologize."

The storyteller was delighted by the sight of the money. He immediately smiled and took the silver and looked at it again and again. After confirming that it was real, he smiled and said to the man, "Sir, what story do you want to hear?"

The man smiled slightly and said, "Let's talk about the fastest sword in the world."

The storyteller cleared his throat and began to tell the story.

"Whose sword is the fastest in the martial arts world? Of course it's the sword of Li Xiangyi, the leader of the Si Gu Sect!"

"Master Li was a brilliant young man, achieving fame at a young age. At the age of fifteen, he had already defeated the Blood Domain Heavenly Demon and become the world's number one martial artist. At seventeen, he founded the Four-Gu Sect, and at eighteen, he became the leader of the martial arts world, ending years of chaos. Some saw him as the hope of the Central Plains martial arts world, but many others set their sights on defeating him, the most famous of whom was Di Feisheng, leader of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance of the Demon Cult."

Hearing this, the audience nodded in agreement.

"Then Di Feisheng is definitely not as powerful as Sect Leader Li, right?" asked an audience member.

"Of course, Master Li is the best master in the world!" another audience member echoed.

At this time, a listener asked curiously: "What was Li Xiangyi doing when he was sixteen?"

The storyteller chuckled and said with a mysterious expression, "You've asked the right person. When Master Li was sixteen, he was looking for someone."

"Find someone?"

“Who are you looking for?”

The audience in the teahouse were immediately surprised and asked questions one after another.

"Yes, who is Sect Master Li looking for?"

“His lover?”

"Isn't his lover Qiao Wanwan, the most beautiful woman in the world?"

"How is that possible? Sect Master Li hasn't announced anything yet. This is just a rumor spread by people."

"I think Miss Qiao must be in love with Sect Master Li, and she's even staying in the Si Gu Sect and working with him!"

"If we don't talk about this, could it be his enemy?"

Everyone was talking about it, their curiosity was completely aroused.

"Don't be impatient. Listen to me slowly." The storyteller took a sip of tea and continued, "The person that Master Li is looking for is no ordinary person. He has been searching for a whole year, but he still hasn't found him."

"Ah? Can't find it?" The audience was even more surprised.

"Who is it?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"Well..." the storyteller paused, as if to keep the secret, and then said mysteriously, "I can't tell you."

"Why?"

"Because I don't know either!" The storyteller shrugged helplessly.

"Tsk~" The audience booed to express their dissatisfaction.

"However, I can tell you that the person that Master Li is looking for is very important to him," the storyteller added quickly.

"Isn't this nonsense? If it's not important, why bother looking for it for another year?"

"Yes"

The teahouse was abuzz with conversation, and the storyteller, seeing this, thought he would get beaten if he didn't leave. So he quickly slipped away, taking a deep breath and wiping away a sweat that didn't even exist.

In fact, he really didn't know who Li Xiangyi was looking for. However, today he finally got something, so he could go for a drink. The storyteller weighed the silver in his hand and laughed happily.

The handsome and charming man, Lin Jiu, who was disguised as a man, walked out of the teahouse and heard the discussions of the people behind him. He was secretly delighted.

She ate the candied haws in her hand, smiled contentedly, and looked towards Sigumen not far away, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

It is dark under the lamp, that's exactly what it is.

Indeed, she had traveled to many places over the past three years, but ultimately chose to stay near Sigumen. Unexpectedly, this decision kept her from being discovered for nearly a year.

You know, she always left some clues in other places before, which were noticed by the people in Si Gumen and then found by Li Xiangyi. Fortunately, she was very smart and could always find out one step ahead and escape quickly.

"This is a perfect hiding place! I'm such a smart and clever little kid!" Lin Jiu secretly boasted in his heart.

In fact, three years had passed, and Lin Jiu had long since gotten over her anger towards Li Xiangyi, but it was he who had made her angry and then left for a year. So, Lin Jiu wanted to tease him a little more, see how anxious he was, and then suddenly appear to give him a surprise. Besides, she had a big surprise for him.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiu couldn't help but laugh out loud. She couldn't wait to see Li Xiangyi's surprised and happy face.

But now is not the time yet. She needs to wait a little longer, until she has had enough fun before going back. By then, Li Xiangyi will definitely be very happy. (Li Xiangyi, who is busy looking for Lin Jiu, says: I am blessed to have you.)
