Chapter 139 Lin Fan, Walking in the Commercial Street

However, Zhang Wenyu was a seasoned man, and his emotional fluctuations were brief. He quickly regained his usual composure. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes closed, as if in a state of deep thought.

Time ticked by, and after about a cup of tea, he finally raised his head again and slowly opened his lips to say, "Admittedly, your special identity can indeed ensure our safety. But I sincerely don't want you to reveal this matter at that banquet too soon."

"You must know that the members of the Cultivators Alliance are either independent and free-spirited cultivators, or those who have been forced or voluntarily to leave their respective sects for various reasons. If we rashly tell them at this moment that the leader of the Cultivators Alliance has received support from a sect, the consequences will be unimaginable! They will inevitably become suspicious and have wild thoughts. Moreover, such an act completely goes against the original intention and philosophy we upheld when we founded the Cultivators Alliance. That is why I insist that you treat this identity as a last resort, to be used only when absolutely necessary."

Hearing this, Lin Fan smiled faintly before responding, "Don't worry, I'm fully aware of this little matter! In fact, even before I said that, I had almost anticipated your possible reaction. I have to admit, no matter how time passes, you remain the familiar Zhang Wenyu in my memory. You haven't changed at all. It's a pity that my brilliant friend has left me. Otherwise, with his wisdom and talent, he would surely have come up with some brilliant strategies to help you."

"Thank you, but honestly, when faced with Liu Lei's aggressive and ill-intentioned banquet, the other factions in Jigui City had already considered forming an alliance to jointly deal with it. Coincidentally, the alliance's meeting is scheduled for tonight. I wonder if you would be willing to go with me to see what's going on?"

Hearing this, Lin Fan responded without hesitation: "Okay, I have nothing to do at the moment anyway."

So, in the following time, Lin Fan and Zhang Wenyu had a pleasant lunch together and then temporarily separated. They agreed to meet in front of the gate of the Alliance of Cultivators when the meeting was about to start. Before that, both of them planned to take care of their own matters first.

As the leader of the alliance, Zhang Wenyu has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He has a lot of things to worry about. Not only does he have to properly handle various affairs within the alliance, but he also has to carefully plan the long-term development path of the alliance. Therefore, before the meeting, he locked himself in the room and worked hard, concentrating on handling various official duties.

In comparison, Lin Fan seemed much more relaxed. He made an interesting decision - to take a stroll at the market. After all, this was his first visit to a prosperous town like Jigui City.

Besides, there are countless novelties here. For him who is full of curiosity, it would be a waste if he does not explore them. So, with full of joy and expectation, Lin Fan walked towards the bustling market leisurely.

Soon, Lin Fan arrived at a bustling commercial street. The sounds of vendors and shouts echoed everywhere, like a joyful and exciting symphony. Lin Fan had never seen such a bustling and lively scene before him, and he was immediately captivated by the vibrant scene before him.

So he strolled happily on this commercial street. Along the way, he walked and stopped, looked around, stopped to watch the street vendors making various exquisite handicrafts, and then was tempted by the fragrant food and couldn't help buying one to taste.

Of course, Lin Fan did not forget the original intention of his shopping trip - to choose gifts for Ye Yu. He carefully selected many delicious snacks common to mortals. Imagining Ye Yu's happy and satisfied look when tasting these foods, his heart was filled with sweetness. In addition, he also specially selected some unique and colorful accessories. He believed that Ye Yu would look more beautiful and charming when wearing them.

Just as Lin Fan was contentedly preparing to leave the commercial street, he suddenly noticed a particularly eye-catching figure not far away. He saw a homeless man with disheveled hair and ragged clothes sitting quietly on the ground.

In front of the homeless man, there were four worn-looking books and a vertical sign with large characters written in a flamboyant style: "Peerless martial arts, one thousand spirit stones per book, no bargaining."

Lin Fan's steps, which had already begun, stopped involuntarily, and a strong curiosity surged in his heart. Although he knew in his heart that the so-called "peerless martial arts" was probably just a gimmick, for some reason, those yellowed books seemed to have a mysterious magic that kept attracting him to come closer.

Finally, Lin Fan couldn't hold back his inner impulse and slowly walked towards the homeless man. As he got closer, he found that the four books on the stall were named "Shadow Steps", "Powerful Fist", "Thunderbolt Whirlwind Slash" and "Earth-shaking Roar". Each book cover had an amazing pattern drawn on it, revealing a powerful aura.

Just from the names of these four books, one can tell that they are powerful, but Lin Fan doesn't know whether they are real or fake. However, the homeless man in front of him looks really pitiful, so out of kindness, Lin Fan decided to buy these four peerless martial arts books. After all, for him, ten thousand spirit stones are equivalent to one contribution point.

"Hello, boss. I want to buy all four of these books. This costs four thousand spirit stones. You can check it." After Lin Fan finished speaking, he handed the homeless man a storage bag, which contained exactly four thousand spirit stones.

The homeless man didn't say anything. He looked up at Lin Fan, then took the storage bag and stood up and left without saying a word the whole time.

"What a strange person! I hope I have helped him." Then Lin Fan collected the four peerless martial arts books on the ground.

After the little episode ended, Lin Fan couldn't help but walk around for a while. When the agreed time was almost up, he left the commercial street and headed for the entrance of the Cultivation Alliance.

After arriving at the entrance of the Alliance of Cultivators, Lin Fan discovered that Zhang Wenyu had also just come out of the Alliance. After the two greeted each other, they headed towards the meeting place of the alliance together.
