Simultaneous time travel, starting from Little Li Flying Dagger

Fan Jin passed the imperial examination, ranking fifth in the country, yet he was appointed as the Shandong Provincial Education Commissioner. In today's terms, that would be equivalent to the head of a provincial education bureau.

So he was completely overwhelmed by the overwhelming happiness that suddenly struck him, his mental defenses collapsed, leading to madness, which Chuk could understand perfectly.

But Li Xunhuan's father... Chu Ke, like the other martial arts figures present, was actually quite critical of him.

But when he saw the woman in white sever the man's tongue with a single sword stroke and make the storyteller recount his deeds, Chuk couldn't help but shrink back towards the window.

Ding family...

Could it be that guy?

Just as Chuk was observing, the old storyteller tapped his pipe, seemingly unafraid of the woman's sharp tongue, and then said calmly:

"Young lady, this old man's storytelling has its own rhythm..."

The woman in white flicked her wrist, and an object shot out, trailing a smooth golden arc of light, before landing in the old storyteller's hand.

"When did Chuuk rise to prominence?"

The old storyteller remained expressionless and handed the gold to the girl with braids standing to the side.

"This all started with the case of Chu Ke clearing up the wrongful conviction of the Eight Righteous Men of the Central Plains for Tie Chuanjia."

"But that's another story."

At this point, the old man paused, looked at the woman in white,

Seeing that she had no intention of giving him any more gold, and knowing she wasn't interested, he said dejectedly:

"Back then, after Li Xunhuan was branded as the Plum Blossom Bandit, only Chu Ke in the whole world was willing to help him."

"To uphold justice and escort complete strangers up Mount Song, he truly embodies the spirit of Guan Yu, who rode alone for a thousand miles in ancient times."

At this moment, the woman in white sneered, "Who in the world doesn't know that Li Xunhuan treats his brothers by giving them money, calligraphy and paintings, or houses and women? Perhaps that's what Chu Ke is after?"

Hearing this, Chuk was overjoyed.

"Ah, yes, yes, that's it. Just treat me like a nobody, and whatever you do, don't remember me..."

However, the old storyteller shook his head, "Let's not even talk about how Chu Ke didn't take a single penny from Li Xunhuan."

"I'd like to ask you, if you were offered money to deal with ruthless figures like the Green Demon Hand, the Five Poison Child, and the All-Knowing Scholar, would you go?"

The crowd fell silent. This was a matter of money versus life, especially since the storyteller had said that Chuk hadn't even received any money.

Could it be that they're simply reckless?

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the audience, the old storyteller chuckled.

"There's one more thing, I wonder if you all know, did Chu Ke have a confrontation with Bai Tianyu, the leader of the Divine Blade Hall, a couple of days ago, and what was the outcome..."

He suddenly stopped talking and closed his eyes, then dozed off.

Chu Ke felt a strange feeling. He hadn't mentioned what happened two days ago, and Bai Tianyu certainly wouldn't have told anyone. How did this old man know?

No wonder he's called the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets.

The girl with the braid seemed very anxious, repeatedly saying, "Why don't you tell us how the battle between these two masters ended?"

Those around them also looked impatient and urged them on.

The old man Tianji took a puff of his pipe and slowly exhaled the smoke from his nostrils.

At this point, the hotel guests understood his intentions immediately and hurriedly reached into their wallets to collect their money.

The girl with the braids was already waiting to collect the money with a plate in hand.

"The outcome of their fight is a secret," the old man continued, seeing that his granddaughter had put the money away.

"But after that day, Bai Tianyu stayed at home and never went out. He claimed that he was sick, but in reality, his Dao heart was shattered and he was rebuilding it."

The woman in white looked surprised and raised her hand to reveal another piece of gold.

"Could it be that Chuk defeated Bai Tianyu?"

The old man with the secrets of heaven accepted the gold, beaming with joy, and said happily...

"The two did not fight."

Before the woman in white's expression could change, he quickly said:

"At that time, Chu Ke only used one palm strike, which frightened Bai Tianyu so much that he dared not make a move. Before leaving, Chu Ke also left a message for Bai Tianyu."

"What did you say?"

The old man of heavenly secrets became unusually solemn, and said, word by word:

"Chuk said that Bai Tianyu's sword was weakened because it was designed to defeat the Demonic Cult Leader."

"But if one strives to improve oneself to the level of Chuk, then one can be considered the strongest."

After the old man of the heavenly secrets finished speaking, the entire inn fell silent.

Some people think this statement is powerful, while others think it's too fake.

How long has Chu Ke been showing his talent? How could he shatter Bai Tianyu's Dao Heart with a single palm strike?

This old storyteller is probably just making up stories to make money.

"Alas," a sigh rang out at that moment.

The man beside the woman in white said sullenly, "It's true that Bai Tianyu is in seclusion. We were turned away when we went to his door yesterday."

He then turned to the old man and asked, "Since Chu Ke and Bai Tianyu have met, it means he's nearby. Does the senior know his whereabouts?"

Why did they come after me?

Chuk looked at the man and saw that he and the woman in white looked somewhat alike, so they must be siblings.

The identities of those two people are now obvious.

One of them is Ding Baiyun, the "White Cloud Fairy" who later killed her lover and played with his head for decades.

And her lover happened to be Bai Tianyu.

The other one is Ding Chengfeng, the future head of the Ding family and Ding Baiyun's older brother.

This guy loves sparring and has excellent swordsmanship. He even forced a duel with Jing Wuming in the future, but only paid the price of his legs. He is quite powerful.

The old man opposite them clearly knew the identities of the brother and sister. He opened his mouth, but then closed it again.

Seeing this, Ding Baiyun threw out another piece of gold in a huff.

In the corner, Chuck felt a mix of emotions.

It turns out that you can get a woman to give you three pieces of gold without saying a word...

The old man of the heavens took the gold, his gaze drifting towards the direction where Chuk had sat down. Then he patted the gavel, and a thunderous sound rang out.

"Chuk is right here!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Chengfeng and Ding Baiyun's eyes instantly blazed with intense fighting spirit and curiosity.

The Divine Blade Hall's fight against the Demonic Cult has always been supported by the Ding family's finances, which is why Ding Chengfeng and Bai Tianyu are naturally on good terms.

Therefore, Ding Chengfeng was very curious about what the ruthless person who could beat Bai Tianyu into a state of depression looked like.

Is he really my opponent?

"Right here?" As Ding Chengfeng turned his head left and right, Chu Ke had already leisurely stood up.

"I do not understand..."

Chuk left his seat as he spoke.

However, his target was not the Ding siblings standing to the side, but he walked straight towards the Heavenly Mystery Elder.

"Old man, it's one thing for you to make money off my information."

"But they even make dirty money off me, right in front of me."

"What do you intend to do? Are you trying to test my strength?"

Chuk spoke casually, with a playful air, but his expression was calm and solemn, displaying a composed demeanor.

You must know that the opponent is the number one weapon on the list, the Heavenly Mystery Elder, who has been invincible in the world for many years with his Heavenly Mystery Staff!

Although his mental state was not as good as Shangguan Jin Hong's at this time, in terms of pure strength, he was definitely the strongest opponent Chu Ke had ever encountered!
