Chapter 72 Old Tales of Yunshan
When the stars of the humanoid galaxy shone brightly: "Seriously, although I didn't help you level up back then, I could tell you were good as ever since you were a kid."
"Can I bring one more when we open a dungeon?"
This epic and outrageous move by the stars instantly turned the entire forum into a source of amusement.
Hidden Dragon in the Abyss: "Stars, based on my many years of experience on the internet, everything has a twist. You'd better not get too cocky in the future, or you'll suffer the consequences."
Run-Knife Rat: "I get it now, the 'Qian' in 'Qianlong' means 'underwater'."
As for Zhou Yi, after such an incident, he naturally had no interest in continuing to enjoy the forum's entertainment.
After giving a brief explanation, they rushed straight towards the back of the mountain.
Zhou Yi arrived at the cliff and searched carefully, quickly finding half a branch.
Upon closer inspection, sap was still oozing from the joint, indicating that it had been broken recently.
Zhou Yi's heart stirred, and he secretly memorized this place.
Jumping is impossible.
After all, he only has one life, so if he's going to try, he should let his junior players try first.
……
Inside a house in Lianyungang District.
With a smile, Li Fan took out a spirit stone from his pocket and handed it to Inspector Liu.
Inspector Liu accepted the spirit stones with a smile without any hesitation, and then said:
"Brother Li, let me tell you, things aren't very peaceful in Lianyunfang lately."
Upon hearing this, Li Fan asked in curiosity:
"Oh, what do you mean by that, Brother Liu?"
Inspector Liu lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"Brother Li, you have been living in your cave for a long time and rarely go out, so naturally you would not know about this kind of news."
"Recently, there have been a lot of rumors circulating about Baicaotang, which have greatly damaged its reputation. I heard from the higher-ups that their revenue has even decreased by 30% in the past few days."
Li Fan feigned confusion:
"May I ask, Brother Liu, what rumors have you spread that could cause such a large shop like Baicaotang to suffer such losses?"
Seeing Li Fan's state, Liu Xun's desire to share was greatly satisfied, so he naturally told Li Fan everything about the shopkeeper's embezzlement.
Upon hearing this, Li Fan's face showed a look of shock, and he even stopped breathing at just the right moment.
"Brother Liu is truly well-informed; I admire him greatly!"
"No, no."
Inspector Liu waved his hand modestly, but his smile grew even brighter.
He always liked to put on a humble act when others praised him, because it satisfied his inner sense of accomplishment.
Li Fan understood the matter clearly and didn't say much. After chatting with Inspector Liu for a few minutes, he got straight to the point.
"Brother Liu, since things have been rather unsettled in the market lately, and I also have an urgent matter at home, I'm planning to head back."
"It's only been a month, Brother Li, why are you leaving in such a hurry? I haven't even properly entertained you yet."
Upon hearing this, Inspector Liu's face showed a hint of regret.
He had rarely met someone like Li Fan, who shared his temperament, so he was quite reluctant to part with him.
Li Fan smiled:
"Brother Liu, there's no need for that. I'm just going back for a short trip. I'll probably be back in less than a month."
Upon hearing that Li Fan would be returning, Inspector Liu became extremely excited and patted Li Fan on the shoulder twice.
"Very well, very well, I will personally host a welcome dinner for you then."
After seeing Inspector Liu off, Li Fan's expression returned to calm.
The sect leader's mission is complete; it's time to prepare to leave.
But before he left, there was one more thing he needed to do.
Dawn is approaching.
Li Fan quietly slipped into the familiar alley and found the simple courtyard.
He took out his key, opened the courtyard gate, and walked into the house.
At this moment, a man was fast asleep on the bed. He was none other than Zhao Liu, the culprit who spread the rumors.
Li Fan sneered and then took out the Soul Banner from his storage bag.
The Myriad Souls Banner swayed slightly, with demonic light flowing within it, and soon it quietly devoured Zhao Liu's soul.
Immediately afterwards, Li Fan spat at Si Zhi on the bed and took out bone-dissolving powder to sprinkle on his body.
"This way of dying is too lenient for you."
After saying that, Li Fan waved his sleeve.
He concealed all traces of himself and then turned and left the room.
In Li Fan's eyes, those who could use the lives of mortals to achieve their desired birth were not worth dying for.
Three poles in the sun.
In Lianyungang City, the eastern entertainment district is busiest at this time of day.
Li Fan walked down the bustling street, looking at the 10 spirit stones he had left, and decided to enjoy himself.
These days...
He not only had to hide himself from the people at Baicaotang, but also had to pretend to be Zhao Liu's superior and handle related matters.
I was completely exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Li Fan looked around and suddenly caught a glimpse of a bustling restaurant out of the corner of his eye.
A large number of beautiful women gathered in front of the restaurant, waving their colorful long sleeves and calling out to passersby.
Li Fan's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he walked towards the entrance of the restaurant with a smile.
Although the game rules forbid...
But his listening to music in brothels shouldn't be a big deal, right?
An hour later, the diners in the restaurant began to whisper among themselves.
"Tsk tsk tsk, do you know what? A strange person just came by."
"Fellow Daoist, who exactly is this extraordinary person? Tell me quickly."
"That young master was handsome; with a flick of his sleeve, ten spirit stones appeared!"
"What! 10 spirit stones? That's enough to hire five top courtesans from a tavern and have them serve you for a whole day and night!"
"Absolutely! But do you know what? He only ordered five street performers to perform for him in the VIP room! What a waste!"
"Hey, do you think it might be that he has a problem there?"
"Shh... what if that young master just happens to like that kind of thing?"
Inside the elegant room.
Li Fan lay leisurely on the soft couch, eating the grapes fed to him by the courtesan.
With just a slight tilt of his head, a delicate fragrance wafted from the tip of his nose.
This kind of life is truly enjoyable!
"By the way, why haven't those opera singers come over yet?"
Li Fan took a bite of grapes, then suddenly frowned and asked.
Upon hearing this, the courtesan gave a coquettish reproach:
"Young Master Li, please don't be in such a hurry. Let me serve you first."
After saying that, the courtesan reached out her small hand to Li Fan's waist and gently stroked it.
She pressed herself against Li Fan, making him feel something soft against his chest.
The courtesan looked at Li Fan with seductive eyes.
She believed that with her charm, no man could resist her.
But who would have thought that the once confident courtesan would be pushed to the ground by Li Fan in the next moment.
"No, you're using this to test your cadres?"
Li Fan frowned, his expression showing some displeasure.
This courtesan is quite charming; if he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have actually had his account banned.
Not long after.
Several young women, wearing veils and carrying musical instruments such as the pipa and guzheng, walked in.
The young girl at the head of the group was dressed in a blue robe, looking like a fairy descended from heaven.
She bowed slightly to Li Fan:
"Greetings, Young Master Li. The opera our ladies will be performing next is 'Tales of Yunshan'."
Li Fan nodded: "Don't be too reserved, let's get started."
To be honest, he was quite curious about the musical instruments and rhythms of this world.
Several women began to play continuously, their voices as smooth and melodious as silk strings.
Li Fan listened quietly, and before he knew it, the play had come to an end.
A bird's cry pulled him from his reverie, and he began to savor its subtle charm.
The plot of the story is also very simple.
The story roughly revolves around Wang Chen and Jiang Yue, two outstanding disciples of the Yunshan Sect, and unfolds gradually with their love, hate, and grudges as the main thread.
It's a typical story of a poor boy pursuing a rich girl. Although the plot is rather old-fashioned, the composer clearly used some fresh ideas.
The song truly provided an immersive experience for a young person like Li Fan who was used to the fast pace of modern life.
The play ended with the two being forcibly separated by the sect elders, and the heartbroken man, Wang Chen, choosing to leave.
As the music ended, Li Fan asked curiously:
"Do you know what happened to Wang Chen after he escaped?"
The woman in the lead shook her head and sighed:
"I am unaware that the 'Old Tales of Yunshan' was taken from the Yunshan Sect, which is now over a hundred years old. I'm afraid the person who wrote it has already passed away."
Li Fan nodded, said nothing more, and went out.
Seeing this, the woman in the green robe was somewhat surprised and subconsciously tried to persuade her to stay:
"Young master, are you in such a hurry because my daughter has failed to provide adequate hospitality?"
Normally, they should play for Li Fan for a full three hours, but they haven't even played for half the time yet.
Li Fan turned around and smiled faintly:
"It's alright, I just happened to hear this tune and have no interest in listening to anything else."
As Li Fan's figure receded into the distance, the woman in the green robe seemed lost in thought.
"The thoughts of immortals are indeed quite different from those of us mortals."
