Chapter 937 - 887: Vast World! (Part 1)

Pretending to be crazy and foolish.

That’s right.

This is Qin Fan’s definition of the old man.

Having lived for over five hundred years, what kind of persons hasn’t he encountered?

Even though this fellow always displays a mischievous side.

Even though he’s a living embodiment of a nonchalant old rogue.

But who is Qin Fan?

How could he be led around by the nose by him?

Under the Eyes of Golden Flame, what he sees is not the old man’s mischievous side.

But rather an unfathomable power that is not insignificant!

From him emerging out of nowhere in the Four-nine City.

From Hua Xiaotian’s words about a person from the acquaintance’s sect.

From his ability to easily locate Qin Fan’s position.

All these things are extraordinarily unusual.

Just the fact that the old man does not show any hostile intent toward him.

Otherwise, Qin Fan would have already made him vanish without a trace.

But lacking hostility is one thing.

Allowing such a strange person to stay by his side is definitively not Qin Fan’s style.

"What’s wrong? Do you think I have ulterior motives?"

The old man’s nonchalant laughter pauses under Qin Fan’s words.

The old man chuckles and says,

"Do you think your acting is profound or that I’m stupid?" Qin Fan shakes his head noncommittally, looking at him with ridicule.

"If I say I’m just here to experience life, would you believe me?" Dropping the mischievous pretense, even under Qin Fan’s ridiculing stare, the old man still calmly and nonchalantly smiles.

"I’m not interested in whether you’re here to experience life or not. You should be glad I haven’t sensed any hostility from you; otherwise, that night in Four-nine City would have added another corpse! I now warn you one last time, don’t follow me anymore, don’t meddle with anyone related to me! Otherwise, I will kill you! This is your last warning! As for whether I have that capability, I believe you already know the answer! Do you understand?" Qin Fan looked at him indifferently and sneered.

"Yes, I believe you have that capability! But honestly, my intention was just to make friends with you! Nothing malicious, just that!" The old man pursed his lips and chuckled.

"But I’m not interested in making friends with you! How you pretend to be crazy and foolish is your own business, but don’t play those tricks in front of me anymore!" Qin Fan said.

"Aren’t you curious about my background? Don’t you want to know how I found you?"

Even though the old man tried to sound serious, he became anxious hearing Qin Fan’s decisive tone.

"I’m not interested in knowing your background. As for how you found me, it’s not surprising. You probably have a nose similar to a military dog! The difference is that your military dog nose has no distance limit!"

With Qin Fan’s words reaching this point,

The old man’s face showed shock.

But before he could regain his composure,

Qin Fan’s voice arose again, "So, in the end, to me, you either have no secrets or you have secrets that I have no interest in!"

After speaking,

Qin Fan shook his head in mockery.

Then he turned and started walking.

"Wait!" The old man’s voice resonated from behind.

Qin Fan halted his steps.

But he did not turn around.

Nor did he ask questions.

"You are the first person I’ve met in the outside world! I just wanted to hang out, is it really so troubling? Besides, you’re not curious about me, but I’m really curious about you. Curious how someone your age possesses such power! You should know, though I’ve lived over one hundred years, I’m practically invincible in the Martial Arts World. But I can tell, if you wanted to kill me, I wouldn’t last a single move! However, the world is about to fall into chaos; hidden disputes will stir a storm under this sky. Don’t you want someone who can help you in times of trouble?"

As the old man spoke, the seriousness on his face faded away.

Reverting to that nonchalant eccentric demeanor.

Hidden disputes?

Upon hearing this.

Qin Fan frowned.

He was well aware that he only knew a fraction of this world.

And he knew that behind Huaxia’s vast land, countless hidden forces surely existed.

Like the Bai Clan, like the Training Spirit Clan, even like Medicine Valley, these are just the tip of the iceberg!

Instantly, the mention of hidden disputes piqued Qin Fan’s interest.

Especially since the old man’s power surpassed God Realm levels.

For him to say these things, it must be with significant reason!

Slowly turning around,

Qin Fan asked, "Hidden disputes?"

"Brother, you’re interested now? Does this mean you accept me as your little brother?" The old man asked slyly.

"Speak plainly!" Qin Fan shouted sternly.

"Hey, don’t rush, don’t rush, let’s walk- let’s talk as we go slowly! You fought with Miss Jiang all night last evening, you should be hungry by now! Let’s find a place to grab some food! This time out, aside from missions, I just want to try various delicacies. Brother- how about we have some soy milk with fried bread sticks for breakfast, and maybe some pancakes or scallion pancakes?"

The serious discussion hadn’t even begun, and the old man had already shifted topics.

However, Qin Fan paid him no mind.

With a cold expression, he regarded him wordlessly.

Making the old man’s expression temporarily awkward.

He realized.

Pretending to be crazy and foolish wouldn’t work on Qin Fan anymore.

At this moment, he spoke awkwardly, "Listen, I’m actually from Kunlun. This is my first time venturing out in over a century! Following orders from the esteemed leader, I’m tasked to pass a message and recruit some pinnacle God Realm warriors into the Kunlun Secret Realm! That night, upon sensing your potent violent murderous aura, I initially wanted to enlist you as a Kunlun member, but after sensing your approximate power, I abandoned that thought! I know-"

Before the old man could finish,

Qin Fan interjected.

"Stop!"

Uh-

His words halted.

The old man was puzzled.

"I told you I’m not interested in these matters! I just want to know what the words hidden disputes represent?" Qin Fan said.

Upon hearing this,

The old man suddenly furrowed his brows and bowed his head.

As if contemplating something.

After a moment’s pause,

He raised his head to look at Qin Fan.

A peculiar glint surfaced in his eyes.

Then he said, "With your level of cultivation, you should know more than God Realm martial artists. Haven’t you heard of some legendary forces? One Kunlun, Two Penglai, Three Training Spirit, Four Tomb Raider! The Kunlun clan practices Body Refinement, the Penglai clan follows Reverse World Refinement, there’s a saying that the great path is fifty, heaven evolves forty-nine, and one escapes, Penglai people practice using that one that escaped! The Training Spirit clan practices Training Spirit, there’s a saying one who attains enlightenment lifts all their acquaintance with them, but the Training Spirit clan swaps these relations! The Tomb Raider clan practices Yin and Yang Dual Cultivation, for countless years—they’ve sought extremes of yin and yang in people, items, and places! These four hidden forces reside in planes often referred to by the Martial Arts World as the Vast World! Ironically, they often mention the Vast World without knowing what the true meaning behind these words is!"
