Chapter 203 - 199 Fame
At Yunlai Inn, after returning, Li Fan ordered a pot of wine and a few appetizers on the inn’s terrace.
After today, peace would likely no longer be an option.
When he first arrived in Chi Xiao City, no one knew him in Seven Star Alley. Naturally, there was no attention drawn to him. But now, he knew that his days in Chi Xiao City would no longer be tranquil.
Still, there was no regret, even though it might have been an impulsive action. At least his heart felt lightened. *People laughed at him, mocked him, deemed him reckless and foolish beyond measure. If he had endured their ridicule, his Sword Heart would have been stifled.*
*And in the future, if his identity as a disciple of Li Mountain were to be exposed, wouldn’t that bring shame to the name of Li Mountain?*
"Brother Zuo, why didn’t you go to visit the Shadow Bearing Sword Arena today? People on the Green Cloud List all have their chances, you know!" someone said upon spotting Li Fan, smiling with a slightly playful tone.

"Oh? Back already?"
"Didn’t qualify," Li Fan said with a carefree smile. The crowd exchanged knowing looks, understanding his words but refraining from commenting; after all, the coachman by Li Fan’s side was notoriously wild.

"This year, with Senior Li Chengying’s dojo recruiting disciples, cultivators on the Green Cloud List are bound to gather. A storm is sure to erupt. I wonder how many will be accepted into the dojo, and as for the Sword Wall—where the character ’Cang’ belonging to Cang Yunxuan shines so brightly—do you think anyone could carve a character to compete with it?"
