With the blessing of the golden leaves.

The innkeeper personally went to the kitchen to give the order, ignoring the groans of the other diners, and soon Xiao Bieli's table was filled with a table full of delicacies.

Many people curiously glanced at Xiao Bieli.

After all, Xiao Bieli was too young, and he was traveling the world alone with a weapon.

Especially in the vast deserts of Yanzhou, bandits roamed freely.

It's not a good place to hone your skills in the martial arts world.

However, no one said anything.

After all, someone who dares to travel the world alone must have their own confidence.

Although the food in the desert was rustic, it had a unique flavor. Moreover, Xiao Bieli already possessed several perfected external martial arts techniques, so his appetite was far beyond that of ordinary martial artists. Xiao Bieli ignored the gazes of others and ate heartily.

Just at this time,

An elderly man wearing a faded white robe walked in through the main entrance of the restaurant and went straight up to the second floor.

"Oh, Old Chen's here again today?"

"Have you spent all the tips you earned from storytelling these days?"

"Come, come, we haven't finished telling you the story of the Three Heroes of Tianyun Manor that you mentioned last time!"

"..."

After the old man went upstairs, the atmosphere on the second floor became lively.

From the conversations of those around him, Xiao Bieli figured out the identity of the old man in front of him: a storyteller.

However, Xiao Bieli shook his head.

Where would a top-tier fifth-rank expert come to a tavern to tell stories because he's short of money?

A fifth-rank expert has too many ways to turn money into silver.

Old Chen smiled and sat down in one of the two empty seats. The waiter brought him a pot of cheap wine and two side dishes, but didn't ask him to leave.

Old Chen's stories were all quite novel, and they were all strange tales from the outlying states, which attracted many guests to come and listen.

Old Chen poured himself a glass of wine, not minding its poor quality, and drank it all in one gulp. After savoring it carefully, he smiled and said after a moment:

"Let's not talk about Tianyun Manor today, let's talk about what's happening in the Southern Barbarian State."

"Oh?" someone asked upon hearing this.

"As far as I know, Manzhou is nothing more than a remote place full of miasma, and there are no noteworthy figures in the martial arts world of Manzhou. Could it be that something major has happened in Manzhou recently?"

Before Old Chen could speak, someone else said:

"You wouldn't believe it, but a lot of big things have happened in Manzhou recently."

"Not only did a prodigy on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking emerge, but even a fourth-grade Grandmaster died!"

Wow——!

Upon hearing this, the restaurant erupted in an uproar!

Even though the martial arts world of Yanzhou is more powerful than that of Manzhou, even under the command of 'Camel Bell Venerable' there are only four Grandmasters. Including the experts from other forces, the total number of Grandmasters will not exceed twenty.

The death of a grandmaster is considered a major event in their desert.

Not long ago, Shen Zong, the lord of Fengying Manor, died, which affected the Oasis Market. The Oasis Market used to be a force under Fengying Manor, but now it has changed hands.

"Could it be that the grandmaster died at the hands of that prodigy on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking?" someone asked.

Old Chen smiled, poured himself another glass of wine, and said:

"Although that grandmaster was old, he should not have died at the hands of Xiao Bieli, the prodigy on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking. He should have died at the hands of the assassins from the Blood Robe Tower."

"Xiao Bieli comes from a small family in Manzhou. Half a year ago, he suddenly rose to prominence and became famous in Manzhou!"

"One man and one sword, and the experts of the two prefectures were unable to raise their heads... no... it can be said that almost all the experts of the two prefectures of Manzhou died at his hands!"

hiss!

A collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the restaurant.

Two masters from different prefectures almost died at the hands of one person?

Was this done by someone on the Dragon and Tiger List?

Even those prodigies of the demonic path aren't this bloodthirsty, are they?

Old Chen continued:

"However, as far as I know, the reason why Xiao Bieli killed so many people was because of a love triangle."

A love triangle?

Hearing this, the people in the restaurant became even more interested.

The waiter also hurriedly carried a tray around the restaurant, collecting tips for Old Chen.

All the martial arts practitioners took out small pieces of silver and threw them onto the tray.

Xiao Bieli smiled and tossed a gold leaf onto the tray.

Even the waiter couldn't help but glance at Xiao Bieli again. This gentleman always had a gold leaf in his hand. Did his family own a money exchange?

Even Old Chen was taken aback when he saw the gold leaf.

He had been in this oasis market for almost twenty years. Although he would occasionally encounter young masters who would give him a few taels of silver, this was the first time he had ever met someone who would give him a gold leaf.

Xiao Bieli tore off a chicken leg and gestured for Old Chen to continue.

He wanted to see how his story would be interpreted when it reached the desert.

"Cough cough!"

Old Chen cleared his throat and continued:

"Xiao Bieli's fiancée is Lin Qingyuan, a true disciple of the Cangyuan Sword Sect. Zhuo Qingyun, the 'Four Directions Sword' who ranks seventh on the Cangyuan Sword Sect's Dragon and Tiger Ranking, has an ambiguous relationship with her. Since the two want to get together, Xiao Bieli naturally becomes an obstacle in their way."

"..."

"The forces of the two prefectures of Manzhou wanted to curry favor with the Cangyuan Sword Sect, so they attacked Xiao Bieli. However, they did not expect Xiao Bieli's martial arts to be so high. Not only were the experts of the two prefectures of Manzhou almost all killed or wounded."

"Even Xue Zhou, another prodigy on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking of the Cangyuan Sword Sect, died at the hands of Xiao Bieli."

"Speaking of the battle between Xiao Bieli and Xue Zhou..."

Old Chen spoke vividly, but Xiao Bieli suddenly raised his eyes and looked towards the restaurant not far away.

A group of eight people were riding towards the restaurant.

The three people walking at the very front were none other than three grandmasters.

With Xiao Bieli's current perspective, he could see it at a glance.

The one carrying an ancient longsword should be Feng Lu, the "Soul-Severing Sword" of the Cangyuan Sword Sect.

Of these three fourth-rank grandmasters, only Feng Lun could be considered worthy of attention, as he carried a sharp sword intent.

The other two, although also Grandmasters, had dim ancestral apertures between their brows. Although they possessed spiritual power, they could only bully those who had not yet reached the fourth-grade Grandmaster realm. Compared to when he first entered the fourth-grade Grandmaster realm, they were far inferior.

"...Xue Zhou was beheaded by Xiao Bieli with a single blow..."

As Feng Lu and his group went up to the second floor, Old Chen was just talking about the ending of the great battle between Xiao Bieli and Xue Zhou in his mind.

It was described vividly.

But Feng Lu's gaze turned gloomy as he came up from downstairs.

Snapped!

A fifth-rank expert following behind Feng Lu slammed his hand on the stair railing, sending a section of the railing flying through the air and hurtling towards Old Chen with a burst of energy.

Old Chen rolled over and narrowly avoided the attack.

But the table in front of him was unlucky; it shattered into pieces in an instant.

Old Chen's face was grim. He cupped his hands in greeting to the group and said:

"Gentlemen, I wonder where I have offended you?"

"You're going to try and kill me right away?"

A seventh-rank martial artist in the restaurant also shouted:

"Exactly, you don't look like people from the desert. You've just arrived at the Oasis Market and you're already so arrogant. Aren't you afraid of offending..."

snort!

The Cangyuan Sword Sect expert who had just made his move snorted coldly and raised his hand, unleashing a burst of sword energy.

Seeing this, Old Chen gritted his teeth and also struck out with his palm.

boom!

The sword energy and the palm force collided.

The earthquake shattered four or five tables and chairs around it into pieces!

The shopkeeper quickly stepped forward and repeatedly bowed to the experts from the Cangyuan Sword Sect:

"Gentlemen, our shop has paid 'Camel Bell Venerable' his full monthly salary every month. Please be lenient!"
