Chapter 102: The Dream of the Red Chamber Appears!

The whole room fell into silence.

Lin Xing's domineering words stunned Old Man Zhou and also the three women in the distance.

Even this dilapidated little wine shop seemed to be overwhelmed by Lin Xing's domineering presence, swaying slightly.

Hahaha!!

Drown in the radiance of this master! Lin Xing looked around with a majestic air and struck an extremely handsome pose.

"Castrate him?" Zhou Yixian gave a strange smile, shaking his head and then nodding.

In the distance, Xiao Huan raised her innocent face and asked the two women, "Sisters, what does 'castrate' mean?"

There was a look of eagerness for knowledge on her face.

The two women spat at the same time. Even if they were from the Demonic Sect, they would still feel a sense of guilt in teaching such vulgar knowledge to a little girl!

"Huan'er, don't listen to his nonsense. That brother is a bit not himself today."

"Oh."

Xiao Huan looked back at Lin Xing and thought to herself, no wonder I didn't see anything. So he's not normal today. The three of them continued chatting noisily, and the second "drama" began...

...

"Hey! Old man, it's my turn to ask you, right?" Lin Xing said.

Zhou Yixian came back to his senses, coughed a few times, and said, "It's better not to ask. Actually, it makes no difference whether you ask or not."

"Damn it! Old man, you can't go back on your word! We had a deal. I gave you the gold—"

"Alright! I'll say it!! I'll say it!!" Zhou Yixian, holding the gold, said hastily, "Regarding your fate, this old man can only see a small part of it. The rest—"

"Even a small part is very important! Hurry up and say it!" Lin Xing said impatiently.

"Ahem, well, when it comes to your fate, this old man remembers a book written by the grand general manager of the Wenyuange University Scholars several generations ago. It's called, it's called—"

Lin Xing took a mouthful of rice and let the old man think slowly. This was about his fate! Even if it was only a tiny bit related, he couldn't let it go!

"It's called A Dream of Red Mansions!"

"Pfft——————"

Lin Xing spat out a mouthful of rice, feeling extremely shocked.

Where's the decency? Huh?

What on earth is this? A Dream of Red Mansions actually came up!?

"A Dream of Red Mansions was a banned book at that time because some of its descriptions were really explicit! The protagonist, whose name was something like Yu, actually took in a whole bunch of beautiful women in the book!"

"Pfft pfft pfft——————————"

Lin Xing continued to spit out, and this time, it was as if his decency was scattered all over the place...

Damn it, since when did Jia Baoyu take in all the beautiful women?

Zhou Yixian continued talking, eloquently, not noticing Lin Xing's look of spitting blood at all: "There were the Twelve Beauties of the Capital, the Secondary Twelve Beauties, the even more secondary ones, and even a whole bunch of those who didn't make the list. All of them were taken in by that Yu fellow!"

Lin Xing was completely devastated.

This world is too crazy!

A grand master of the Wenyuange actually wrote a banned book? And he even changed A Dream of Red Mansions beyond recognition?

No!

Lin Xing suddenly had a start and quickly asked, "Is the protagonist named 'Jia Baoyu'?"

"How do you know?"

"Are there the Rongguo Mansion and the Ningguo Mansion?"

"Boy! Have you read it? How could you find such a rare book?"

"Are there Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai!?" Lin Xing asked again!

"That's right!! Boy, you're so amazing!! No wonder it's your 'this' kind of fate!"

Lin Xing slumped down in his chair with a thud.

The whole book was just changing Jinling to the Capital!

And then taking in all the women!

This is a fan fiction!

Could it be— "Old man, was that university scholar's behavior different from ordinary people?"

How do you even know that? There are very few records about him, but he was indeed like that!"

Damn it! Shit!!

Lin Xing finally understood why this world was a bit chaotic!

It turned out that a senior had already come here!

The righteous and demonic paths have hardly changed. The only change is the "Hidden Dragon"!

And that person was transported to the Capital!

It's obvious at a glance!

"Then, old man, what about his cultivation level?" Lin Xing asked cautiously.

"Cultivation level? He didn't have any cultivation level!" Zhou Yixian said with a mixture of a laugh and a scold as if he knew him well, "He created something called 'martial arts' and thought he was so great! Humph, he created it in just a few decades. How can it compare to the Taoist arts that have been tempered for thousands of years? He was already old in his 100s. How can he compare to this old man— ahem, well, that's not the point!"

Lin Xing's heart was in turmoil!

He must be a time traveler!!

Definitely!!

And a time traveler who hasn't read Zhu Xian!

Otherwise, why would he not learn the proper Taoist arts but instead go to create some "martial arts"?

But great senior, why is the "Hidden Dragon" you created targeting me? We time travelers should stick together!

Zhou Yixian let out a sigh and said, "However, his talent and literary grace are truly admirable. If he could achieve great success in martial arts, he could also make a name for himself. Sigh!"

"What's the name of that senior?" Lin Xing also felt a sense of yearning in his heart. Creating a whole system is millions of times more difficult than cultivation!

It's okay to tell you. You two are both 'people beyond destiny'!"

Zhou Yixian seemed to be lost in memories and slowly said, "His surname is Su, and his name is Su Zhe."

Su Zhe!?

Lin Xing was depressed. Why is even the name a copycat?

"Oh, Zhe is the Zhe in 'philosophy'. That's what he said. I don't know what this 'philosophy' is." Zhou Yixian added.

Damn it, philosophy. If he's not a time traveler, I'll bang my head against the wall!

"What about the Hidden Dragon—"

"This has nothing to do with him!" Zhou Yixian said, giving Lin Xing a strange look. He thought to himself, how does he know? "This old fellow has already resigned from the position of the Saint Lord. It is said that he found an extremely talented disciple. In just a few years, the disciple left him far behind and even became his teacher."

After saying that, he looked complacent, as if the more unfortunate Su Zhe was, the happier he was!

But Lin Xing was worried.

The senior has retired, and it's not easy to sort out the relationship with the Hidden Dragon! And he couldn't just wipe it out, after all, it was the senior's hard work. If he angered the senior, he wouldn't have a good time either. What should he do!?

"Something's not right!" Lin Xing suddenly exclaimed.

"What's wrong?"

"I asked you about my fate. Why did you bring up A Dream of Red Mansions? What's the connection?"

"Why, why not!" Zhou Yixian's voice lacked confidence, "Your fate is just like that Yu fellow!"

What—?

Lin Xing was stunned. Is my fate like Jia Baoyu's?

But the next second, he was full of energy again!

I'm like Jia Baoyu!!

Take them all in!!

Damn it!
