I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

Guangling City is well connected and is located in the heart of Jiangnan, making it extremely convenient to travel to surrounding cities.

If not for this, the Shen family would not have built a city here.

Lin Fan rode his horse on the pipeline, enjoying the surrounding scenery.

"Everyone says that Jiangnan is beautiful. The scenery here is indeed pleasant." Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh.

"My Lord, it seems that you have the leisure time. In my opinion, the forest here is just denser, and the rest doesn't seem to compare with the area near the capital." Chu Hu shook his big head. He was not interested in the surrounding scenery at all.

Xiang Long smiled and said jokingly: "What can you put in your black head? But when you get there, you can go to a brothel. I heard that the girls in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River are much more beautiful than the girls in Liangdi."

Zhang Guangzhi took the opportunity to answer and teased Chu Hu: "In my opinion, this black guy may have thought so a long time ago. If the master was here, he might have gone to the brothel alone to have fun."

Chu Hu smiled and said proudly: "Zhang Guangzhi, you should be envious. At least I can get in. Unlike you, I'm afraid you don't have the ability anymore, right? Hahaha!"

Listening to the vulgar language of several people, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but blush, and said to Lin Fan: "I didn't expect that you look gentle, but in fact you are just like this."

In response, Lin Fan just smiled and said, "So what? Lust is the root of all evil. If we judge by deeds, not by heart, there is no saint. What? Miss Shen, don't you even understand this? Why don't you go ask those saints what they think in their hearts?"

Shen Qingqing was refuted by Lin Fan. Although she knew that what Lin Fan said was right, she wanted to refute it subconsciously, but she didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

"Then, you, the prince of Daliang, are you a saint or a layman, or maybe, an evil person?"

“So what if I’m an ordinary person? So what if I’m a saint? After a hundred years, I’ll be nothing but a handful of soil.” Lin Fan sighed.

Shen Qingqing saw that Lin Fan spoke so thoroughly and so sophisticatedly, but these did not seem to match Lin Fan's age. She could not help but be curious about Lin Fan's true thoughts, so she tried to test him:

"In that case, do you want to be a bad guy?"

Lin Fan looked at the clouds in the sky and said, "If I were to choose, I would like to be any of these three people."

Shen Qingqing didn't quite understand what Lin Fan said. No matter whether they were ordinary people, saints, or evil people, the gap between them seemed quite large. How could they coexist?

"A saint is a saint in the eyes of the people. The evil ones are naturally the noble families who exploit the people. As for the common people, it is the current one." Lin Fan said calmly.

At this time, a small inn appeared in front of them. Lin Fan felt a little hungry, so he kicked the horse's belly with his foot and ran towards the inn.

Looking at his back, Shen Qingqing once again felt that she could not understand Lin Fan. Her previous understanding of Lin Fan seemed to be right, but also wrong. It was as if she had never really known Lin Fan.

"Gentlemen, what would you like to eat?" The shopkeeper saw that Lin Fan and his companions were well-dressed and riding horses, so he knew that a big business had come, so he entertained them warmly.

"Are there any crabs?" Lin Fan asked.

"Yes, we have the best fresh crabs. How many would you like?" asked the shopkeeper.

"Just go ahead, don't be afraid of spending money." Chu Hu was already hungry and immediately urged.

The shopkeeper looked at Lin Fan and asked for his opinion.

The shopkeeper was no fool, and he could naturally see that this young man was the leader of this group of people.

"Send over ten or so over there first." Lin Fan said.

"Okay, gentlemen, please wait a moment."

The shopkeeper poured tea for Lin Fan and his friends, then went to notify the kitchen.

Chunfang stood aside, silently adding tea and water.

At this time, Shen Qingqing had also tied up her horse and walked over, but she glanced at Lin Fan from time to time, which made Lin Fan puzzled.

Soon, the crabs were served.

The few people were used to getting along with Lin Fan, so after some politeness, they started eating.

Probably because there were no other guests in the inn and the innkeeper was bored, he started chatting with Lin Fan and others.

"Gentlemen, are you from other places?" asked the shopkeeper.

Lin Fan smiled and asked, "Oh? Why do you think so?"

"I see that except for me and this girl, the rest of the gentlemen don't seem to be very skilled in eating crabs, so I guess they are not from Jiangnan." said the shopkeeper.

"Yes, this is indeed our first time in Jiangnan." Lin Fan said.

"That's what I told you. Gentlemen, don't underestimate crabs. There are many details to it, and there's even a story behind it," said the shopkeeper happily.

"Story? Is there something special about it?" Chun Fang asked.

"Of course. If you are interested, I will tell you about it," asked the shopkeeper.

"Then tell me about it." Lin Fan said.

"As for this story, I don't know when it gradually began to be passed down, and the legend has it..."

The shopkeeper talked incessantly for a long time, and Chunfang and others listened with great interest.

But Lin Fan felt something was different.

Because the story the shopkeeper told was actually about the Legend of the White Snake.

However, it is totally different from the story that Lin Fan is familiar with. This version of Bai Suzhen is a monster that harms people.

"This white snake is so cruel that it dares to come to the human world to harm people. If I meet it, I will chop it to death with an axe." Chu Hu said indignantly.

"Just you? I'm afraid you're not enough for the White Snake to eat." Xiang Long joked.

Shen Qingqing seemed a little sad, she just lowered her head and said nothing.

"I know another theory." Lin Fan said with a smile.

"Oh? Has this gentleman heard of it too?" the shopkeeper asked curiously.

"Yes, but it is very different from the story you told, shopkeeper."

Afterwards, Lin Fan roughly recounted the story of the White Snake as he knew it, and everyone around him was attracted by the content of the story.

"Oh my god, this story is so exciting. I'll tell you, how could the white snake be an evil monster?" Chu Hu said carelessly.

Lin Fan broke open a crab shell and pointed at the lines inside and said, "Fahai finally hid in the crab shell. Look, does it look like a monk meditating?"

"If the Marquis hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have noticed. He really does look like a monk."

Everyone followed Lin Fan's example and opened the crab shell to take a look. They were amazed to find that the pattern inside really looked like a monk.

"Sir, your story is much more interesting than mine. If you don't mind, I will tell this story to the guests who come here in the future." said the shopkeeper.

"It's okay, just go ahead and talk." Lin Fan said nonchalantly.

Lin Fan suddenly thought that if he moved all the four great masterpieces here later, he might be able to leave behind a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages.

"Since there really is an image of a monk meditating, could this story be true?" Chunfang asked curiously.
