Chapter 100 Fame Spreads Throughout the World

The grand handwashing ceremony finally came to an end, all evil was gone, and the heroes gradually took their leave.

Everyone knew that Master Liu was going to flee overseas, and that this parting would be difficult, so they couldn't help but sigh.

The golden basin of clear water washed Liu Zhengfeng's hands clean, but it still couldn't wash away the grudges and feuds of the martial arts world.

From then on, there was no more Liu Sanye of the Hengshan Sect in the martial arts world.

As the group of heroes who were bidding farewell to Lin Zhennan passed by Shi Potian, everyone subconsciously slowed down and stepped forward to praise him.

Someone cupped their hands in congratulations to Shi Potian, offering their heartfelt congratulations:

"The young镖头 (bodyguard/escort) has finally avenged himself! It's truly gratifying!"

"Young Master Escort's skills are unparalleled; we are completely convinced!"

"With a young head镖师 (chief镖师, a high-ranking镖局, a powerful镖局), regaining its prestige and becoming the number one镖局 in the world is just around the corner!"

Many martial arts seniors and fellow practitioners stepped forward to congratulate Lin Zhennan and Madam Wang, praising them highly.

"Chief Escort Lin is truly blessed to have such a heroic and talented prodigy!"

"Congratulations to Chief Escort Lin and his wife! You've avenged your great wrongs, and your family has a worthy successor!"

Lin Zhennan and his wife were moved to tears, and repeatedly bowed in return, feeling both bittersweet and proud.

The young man standing quietly was no longer the young head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) of the Fuwei Escort Agency who earned money by kneeling, but a young hero who defeated Songshan in one battle, destroyed Qingcheng in another, and whose fame shook the martial arts world and made the entire Jianghu (martial arts world) tremble with fear.

Yue Buqun, along with a group of Huashan Sect disciples and Yue Lingshan, also came over to say goodbye.

He walked with a composed gait, a gentle smile on his face, and approached, bowing respectfully: "Congratulations, Chief Escort Lin. Young Hero Lin's battle today has truly broadened my horizons. The younger generation is indeed formidable, truly formidable."

Lin Zhennan looked at this hypocrite, forced a smile, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Sect Leader Yue, you flatter me."

Yue Buqun laughed and said, "To be honest, I'm ashamed to say that I should have personally helped the Fuwei Escort Agency in this great calamity, otherwise I might not have..."

As he spoke, a hint of guilt appeared on his face, and his sincere tone made him instantly likable.

Lin Zhennan quickly replied, "Sect Leader Yue, you flatter us. The Qingcheng Sect is powerful, and Sect Leader Yue has his own difficulties. How could we dare to blame him?"

Yue Buqun shook his head and sighed, "Chief Escort Lin is so magnanimous; I am even more ashamed."

He turned to Shi Potian, his gaze filled with a mixture of admiration and emotion: "Young Master Lin's martial arts are unparalleled, and his righteousness is boundless. After this battle, he will surely become famous throughout the land. If you ever have the chance to pass through Mount Hua, you must come and visit. Although I, Yue, am not particularly skilled, I do have some fine tea from the mountains."

Yue Lingshan popped out from behind him, her hands behind her back, tilting her head to look at Shi Potian, and said with a grin, "Lin Pingzhi, don't forget what you promised me before."

Shi Potian thought for a moment: "You mean you want me to go to Mount Hua?"

Yue Lingshan's eyes lit up: "You still remember? Are you going or not?"

Shi Potian said, "Alright, I'll go find Brother Linghu for a drink. By the way, where's Brother Linghu?"

Yue Lingshan said, "I haven't seen him since early this morning. He's probably out drinking somewhere again."

Shi Potian thought to himself, "No wonder I haven't seen anyone all this time."

Seeing his two young children reluctant to part, Yue Buqun smiled and said to Shi Potian and Lin Zhennan, "The green hills remain unchanged, the green waters flow forever, we'll meet again."

After speaking, he gently pulled Yue Lingshan, led the group around, and gradually merged into the departing crowd. Their figures gradually disappeared into the distance, leaving only a slender young girl's figure, who looked back several times, gazing at Shi Potian standing in the distance.

Yilin followed behind her master, her eyes lowered. When she reached Shi Potian, she paused.

She raised her head, her eyes, brimming with tears, looked at Shi Potian, and said softly, "Brother Lin, I'm going back to Hengshan."

Shi Potian said, "Sister Yilin, be careful on the road, don't get separated again."

Yilin felt a warmth in her heart and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Lin. I will."

After she finished speaking, her face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head and walked away quickly.

Master Dingyi glanced at Shi Potian with a complicated expression, then sighed and led her disciples away quickly.

When Chi Baicheng walked over, a hint of satisfaction on his face. He stopped in front of Shi Potian, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Young Master Lin, you were amazing today, a true hero."

Shi Potian said, "A great hero? No, no, no, I am not."

Shi Potian recalled Bai Zizai's self-proclaimed title of the greatest hero of all time, being the best in swordsmanship, fist and foot techniques, internal strength, and hidden weapons.

Chi Baicheng laughed: "If Young Master Lin isn't a hero, then we thousands of onlookers are nothing but cowards."

After saying that, he laughed heartily and followed Master Tianmen.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, the members of the Fuwei Escort Agency stepped forward to bid farewell to Liu Zhengfeng.

Liu Zhengfeng bowed deeply to Shi Potian.

Shi Potian quickly helped him up: "Third Master Liu, what are you doing?"

Liu Zhengfeng straightened up, looked at the young man before him, and said solemnly, "Young Master Lin, I am deeply grateful. If it weren't for your help today, my old life, along with that of my entire family, would probably have been lost at the hands of the Songshan Sect."

"Although the Songshan Sect has been defeated and fled, it is still very powerful. I have fled overseas, and the Left Alliance Leader may not let the Fuwei Escort Agency off easily. Chief Escort Lin and Young Hero Lin, you still need to be careful."

Lin Zhennan said, "Thank you for the reminder, Third Master Liu."

Liu Zhengfeng continued, "Zuo Lengchan is a man who holds grudges. Today, the Songshan Sect has suffered such a great loss of face, and he will surely seek revenge in the future. Fortunately, after this battle, Young Hero Lin's reputation has been established. If he wants to do anything to you, he will have to think twice."

After Liu Zhengfeng finished speaking, he took something out of his pocket and handed it to Shi Potian.

"Young Master Lin, I have nothing of value to offer but this as a token of my appreciation."

Shi Potian took it, opened it, and saw that it was the sheet music for "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" that he had seen before.

"This is..." Shi Potian looked up at Liu Zhengfeng.

Liu Zhengfeng said, "This is a qin and xiao score that I co-created with Brother Qu. It is the only one of its kind in the world. I heard you play this piece on the xiao before, and it suited my taste perfectly. A fine sword is given to a hero, and a good melody is given to a kindred spirit. You are a master of martial arts and will surely carry this piece on your legacy."

Qu Feiyan smiled and said, "Little brother, you can keep it. I'll play with you in the future."

Shi Potian carefully put away the sheet music: "Thank you, Third Master Liu."

Liu Zhengfeng looked at the two of them and felt very gratified.

Lin Zhennan left Luo Renjie and Li Renhong to return to the Qingcheng Sect, and then led everyone to take their leave.

Shi Potian has avenged his great grudge and has already restored the martial arts of the two men.

Qu Feiyan was reluctant to part with him and saw him off all the way, but unusually, she didn't say a word.

Looking at the young woman who had accompanied her son all the way, Madam Wang felt a fondness for her and said softly, "Miss Feifei, why don't you come back to Fuzhou with us?"

Qu Feiyan's eyes lit up, then dimmed again. She shook her head: "No, no, my grandpa is still waiting for me. He'll be bored if he's all alone."

Madam Wang didn't press the matter, but simply held her hand and said, "Then come visit Fuzhou when you have time."

Qu Feiyan nodded vigorously: "Yes! I will definitely go!"

Upon reaching the city gate, Qu Feiyan stopped and looked at Shi Potian, her smile gradually fading.

"Little brother..." she whispered, "Take care."

Shi Potian walked up to her, took her hand and said, "Feifei, where will you live from now on? I'll come visit you when I have time."

Qu Feiyan's eyes reddened slightly, but she forced a smile and said, "My grandfather and I wander the world, without a fixed abode, but every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, I go to Luoyang."

Shi Potian nodded: "Okay, my maternal grandfather is also in Luoyang. I will definitely go to Luoyang to find you."
