Chapter 232 Mei Jinfeng’s Narration

  Although it was unusual that Mei Jinfeng and Wu Gensheng had met six years ago, the plot had changed drastically since only one person was involved, not to mention that a character named Lin En, Chi Yao's "master", who did not exist in the original novel, was inexplicably inserted into the background.

Moreover, Lin En's "role" is quite crucial. It is not only related to the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, but also to Wu Gensheng. One can imagine the impact on the subsequent rewriting of the plot.

So Chi Yao would not be surprised by what was happening now, but was just a little curious about how the plot would develop next.

What about Wu Gensheng? Did Lin En get involved in the comprehension of the Eight Wonders? Could Lin En be related to some big bastard?

Chi Yao narrowed his eyes, stopped the storm-like thoughts in his brain, calmed himself down, and did not interrupt Mei Jinfeng's narration.

Mei Jinfeng continued speaking with a somewhat sad tone.

"At the time, I never thought that I would find the master like this. I had been searching for him for decades, but ended up meeting him in this way after I had given up in my old age."

"I don't know what Senior Lin En did, but he took me into a cave, and in the blink of an eye, we arrived at a strange island. In the center of the island, I met the headmaster."

"The leader from six years ago doesn't seem to have changed at all. He's almost the same as he was in 1944."

"The headmaster was practicing with his eyes closed at the time. In that misty courtyard, he looked like an immortal."

"I couldn't help but scream at that time, and the headmaster opened his eyes and looked at me, with the same look as before. I wanted to ask him what he had experienced, but the headmaster kept silent."

"The headmaster just asked about my experience and what happened afterwards."

"During this meeting, the headmaster didn't actually tell me anything important. He didn't reveal the secret of our sworn brotherhood at all."

"The headmaster and I were just chatting about family matters and life like normal old friends."

"We also talked about Senior Lin En. The headmaster said that Senior Lin En found a disciple named Hui Yao who was extremely talented. I rarely see such praise from the headmaster, so I took note of it."

"But I am already very satisfied to be able to see the Sect Master. I originally wanted to stay and accompany the Sect Master, but was rejected and was sent back by Senior Lin En."

"After that, I could no longer find that special cave. Senior Lin En also disappeared, and at the end he only left a sentence, 'Let me put it down.'"

"I just didn't expect that after I actually met you a few days ago, I realized that you are still a young man."

Chi Yao frowned slightly. Mei Jinfeng's speech seemed to be a long speech, but there were only a few key points in it.

Chi Yao spoke up.

"Granny Jinfeng, you want to ask where my master is now, right?"

Mei Jinfeng's thoughts were revealed and she nodded.

"Yes, I want to see the master again. Let it go, let it go. After I have truly seen hope, how can I let it go?"

"Please, Huiyao, please tell me where Senior Lin En is!"

Chi Yao touched his head and said helplessly.

"Granny Jinfeng, unfortunately, I really can't do this because Master Lin En just passed away not long ago."

Mei Jinfeng suffered a huge blow, her hands were shaking, and there was a hint of desire in her eyes, hoping that Chi Yao would deny everything he had just said.

"Xian, Xian passed away? Senior Lin En is really gone?!"

Chi Yao nodded, breaking Mei Jinfeng's fantasy.

"I'm sorry, Master is really gone. Even if Master is here, Wu Gensheng may not still be there, right?"

Mei Jinfeng took off her glasses, wiped her tears, and calmed herself down.

"I should be the one to apologize. I was too abrupt. The deceased is gone. I shouldn't have asked about it."

"Hey, the Sect Master wanted to resolve my knot in the beginning, so he only met me at the end, right?"

As she spoke, Mei Jinfeng's tone dropped again, as if she was blaming herself for failing to live up to Wu Gensheng's expectations.

Chi Yao clapped his hands lightly, interrupting Mei Jinfeng's recollections and asked a question.

"Granny Jinfeng, what were the characteristics of the island back then? Do you still remember it? Can you describe it in detail?"

"Also, in your eyes, what kind of person is Master Lin En? How did Master know Senior Wu Gensheng?"

Chi Yao asked several questions in a row, trying to figure out what Lin En did in history.

Mei Jinfeng paused, thought for a while, and then continued speaking.

"I'm sorry, my impression of that island is very vague. It seems to be on the boundless sea, with mist floating above it, as if it is the residence of gods. As for more, I really can't remember."

"As for Senior Lin En, I haven't met him much. In my opinion, he is a very smart person. He often has some wonderful ideas, and these ideas can be recognized by the headmaster. The headmaster and he have a very good relationship."

"As for how Senior Lin En knew the Sect Leader, I really don't know. When I joined Quan Xing, Senior Lin En already knew the Sect Leader."

As she spoke, Mei Jinfeng began to laugh at herself.

"I really admire the master, but I don't dare to go further, so I don't participate in many of the master's affairs."

"I only learned about the so-called Thirty-Six Thieves' Oath of Brotherhood afterwards. I never thought that the leader would do such a thing."

Seeing that Mei Jinfeng really didn't know much useful information, Chi Yao comforted her.

"Granny Jinfeng, at least Senior Wu Gensheng was willing to see you in the end, which shows that you still have a lot of importance in his heart."

Mei Jinfeng shook her hand.

"Thank you for your comfort, young man, but I still feel depressed and I have failed the Master's efforts."

Chi Yao finally asked.

"Then do you still remember how to get to the cave that Master Lin En took you to?"

Mei Jinfeng nodded, but was a little confused.

"I knew it, but after I came back, the cave disappeared. Even though I went there several times and explored the stone wall several times, I only found that it was a completely solid wall with no mystery."

Chi Yao took out a pen and paper and handed it to Mei Jinfeng, saying.

"Could you please give me the address?"

Mei Jinfeng agreed, wrote down the location of the disappeared cave on a piece of paper, and finally said to Chi Yao.

"I hope you can really find it! If you really find something, please let me know!"

Chi Yao put away the paper and pen, agreed, and walked out of the wooden house.

Chi Yao was walking on the way to Yaoxing Society, thinking about Mei Jinfeng's words, which gave him a direction for his investigation.

"A strange island, is it related to Nathan Island? But the water vapor is misty? There is no description of it in the original book. Is it a special area?"

Chi Yao put on Qu Tong's mask while thinking. He wanted to borrow Qu Tong's identity to use the intelligence agency of Yaoxing Society!

With the intelligence capabilities of Yaoxing Society, he could get the most possible information about Nasen Island.

Maybe, he could find the Nasen guard who accepted Qu Tong's mission in the original novel. If he could catch a genuine Nasen guard, then Chi Yao's trip to Nasen would be more certain.
