Chapter 911: Chapter 906: West Lake National Martial Arts Exchange

Shu Yi’s crisp and pleasant laughter spread from the small boat, rippling across the vast expanse of West Lake.

As dusk approached, the twilight flushed by the setting sun seemed to be drawn in by the enchanting laughter, sweeping across the sky.

The forlorn expression on Lin Tian’s face was disrupted. He glanced at the sky filled with the glow of the setting sun, and turned back with a wry smile, “Sister Shu Yi, what I said was true!”

“You guy, you can really spin a tale!”

Shu Yi glanced at Lin Tian reproachfully, shaking her head with a smile.

Then, she paddled the boat with both hands, her face filled with joy and satisfaction as she gazed at the picturesque West Lake. With a charming smile, she said, “These days, just having you by my side makes me happy. You don’t need to weave stories to amuse me!”

Weaving… weaving stories?

Lin Tian’s mouth dropped slightly, his face speechless.

“Sister Shu Yi, I’m not weaving stories! I’m just expressing my feelings while we’re alone together!”

Spreading his hands helplessly, Lin Tian said with a wry smile, “I’m telling the truth, but you don’t believe me, Sister Shu Yi!”

“Hehe… the truth! I think a silly pig would be the only one to believe that!”

Shu Yi let out a string of bell-like laughter.

Well, this kind of thing is so unbelievable that even Lin Tian himself found it hard to believe at first.

Now that Shu Yi didn’t believe, it was understandable.

He could only be helpless.

Seeing Lin Tian’s somewhat flustered expression, Shu Yi chuckled again. Finally, she rested her chin on her palms, blinking her beautiful eyes, and said to Lin Tian, “Alright, fine, I believe you! Then how about you tell me about the Nine Heavens Continent, Heavenly Dream Mountain and the Heavenly Dream Immortal Palace, and the War Song Ancient Realm, and lastly, tell me about your master!”

This time, Shu Yi was speaking in all seriousness.

But when Lin Tian turned his head, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Shu Yi’s pretty face turned red, her lips tightly pressed together, obviously stifling her laughter.

“Just laugh if you want to!”

Lin Tian pursed his lips and finally looked up slightly at the sky, speaking softly, “In my past life, I was an orphan, wandering alone from a very young age. Hmm… after I came to my senses, I lingered and slept around garbage dumps and street corners… until I was ten years old when my master DuanMuuu Yue took me to Heavenly Dream Mountain…”

As Lin Tian slowly recounted the past events of his previous life, Shu Yi became mesmerized, resting her head slightly on Lin Tian’s shoulder, her beautiful eyes filled with wonder and surprise, staring intently at Lin Tian’s profile.

But.

Suddenly.

Shu Yi’s heart was struck by an intense feeling.

She could see the melancholy on Lin Tian’s face, and the deep, unfathomable look in his eyes, exuding endless nostalgia!

It seemed.

Within that thick nostalgia, there were tales stretching over mountains and waters.

This was a man with stories, and Shu Yi’s bewildered eyes seemed even more lost.

Could what he said be true?

Shu Yi thought in amazement, unwillingly.

But she quickly dismissed it!

Where in the world is there such mystical, supernatural stuff?

However.

The man before her was her man, Shu Yi’s man, whether possessed by an immortal or born in a rural area, it didn’t matter!

Thinking of this, Shu Yi gave a sweet smile, saying, “Lin Tian, hmm… from now on I’ll call you Lin Bei, I like this name more! I believe you too!”

Believe, my foot!

She only believes in the name, doesn’t she!

Lin Tian shook his head with a bitter smile, saying, “Whatever you like! Actually, it’s all the same whatever I’m called!”

Is it really the same?

In his previous life, besides a poor-quality jade pendant hanging around his neck as a child, from which he got the surname Lin, Lin Tian knew nothing else.

Originally.

He didn’t even have a name.

The name Lin Tian was given by his master DuanMuuu Yue, it means having met by the will of the heavens and accepting him as a disciple.

Moreover, because Heavenly Dream Mountain is located north of the Nine Heavens Continent, the name Beiliu suggests Lin Tian could stay on Heavenly Dream Mountain for focused cultivation.

As a child, the senior brothers and sisters from his sect loved to tease him, always calling him Xiao Bei, Xiao Bei.

Calling him Lin Bei wasn’t wrong!

Additionally, the name Lin Bei had already spread in the Southwest, so Lin Tian was fine with using that name outside, not wanting the name Lin Tian to spread someday and worry his parents.

“Hmm, as long as it’s you, it doesn’t matter what you’re called!”

Shu Yi wrapped both hands around Lin Tian’s arm, resting her head on his shoulder, nodding gently.

The two sat quietly, letting the small boat drift leisurely across the shimmering West Lake.

As night fell and the lanterns around West Lake lit up, Lin Tian’s phone suddenly rang.

This time.

It was Zhou Li calling.

On the phone, Zhou Li mentioned something about Huang Juun. Lin Tian could only remain silent, unsure of how to respond.

Zhou Li even found out about the situation in the Southwest, that Lin Bei was actually Lin Tian.

Lastly, Zhou Li talked about the Martial Arts Conference, hoping Lin Tian could attend the ancient martial arts and cultivation sect competitions, as per the wishes of sects like the Thousand Mountain Danhua Sect.

Back at the Thousand Mountain Plain, Lin Tian had received invitations from Sect Master Gao Yuaan of the Danhua Sect and Sect Master Han Yuntian of the Wanyun Sect, and he had agreed.

Now with Zhou Li calling again, it was mostly out of concern that Lin Tian might forget or not show up.

Since he had already agreed, Lin Tian naturally agreed without hesitation.

This time, he also saw it as an opportunity to enjoy the event and witness this martial arts conference spectacle.

After hanging up the phone, the small boat carrying Lin Tian and Shu Yi had already drifted to the other side of West Lake.

“Lin Bei! Hehe, that’s what I’ll call you from now on. You mentioned earlier that your senior brothers and sisters in your past life loved calling you Xiao Bei! I’ll call you that too, haha…”

In front of Lin Tian, Shu Yi seemed entirely unfazed and let loose with hearty laughter as she dragged Lin Tian off the boat, laughing as she said, “Now the time is just right, I’ll take you to a fun event! If you hadn’t come today, I probably would have come with my besties to see it…”

“Oh, what event?”

Lin Tian let Shu Yi pull him along, turning his head to ask.

“West Lake National Martial Arts Exchange!”

Shu Yi gave a mysterious smile, blinking as she spoke.

“National Martial Arts Exchange?”

Lin Tian was slightly taken aback and then said, “What’s there to see in those little tricks?”

“Hmph, little tricks? You really don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!”

Following a shout of anger, a few young men walked over from a path along West Lake, unwillingly. The tall and elegant young man leading them came over with a stern face, scolding Lin Tian, “If those words were to reach someone like Grandmaster Yang’s ear, you’d understand what speaking rashly leads to!”

After saying this, the young man took a deep breath, immediately changing his expression with a casual smile as he looked at Shu Yi gently, “Xiao Yi, I wanted to have afternoon tea with you earlier and come to West Lake with you, but you said you had an important meeting. How did you come out so quickly? Is he your friend?”

“Miss Shu!”

The others who came with the young man politely greeted Shu Yi.

“Hello!”

Shu Yi nodded slightly and looked helplessly at the young man in the lead, saying, “Fang Hao, please call me Shu Yi!”

“Alright, it’s my slip of the tongue! Regardless, we’re friends, so let’s not dwell on it!”

Fang Hao casually smiled, not minding it, with an easygoing demeanor. Then he looked at Lin Tian again, “Aren’t you going to introduce him?”

“Lin… Lin Bei! He’s my little boyfriend!”

Shu Yi pulled Lin Tian, introducing him to Fang Hao, and then said to Lin Tian, “He’s called Fang Hao, the young master of the Fang Family in the East Continent! The Fang Family is one of the top families in the East Continent!”

Little boyfriend?

Fang Hao and the few young men who came with him were stunned, looking at each other in surprise.
