At that moment, the man in sunglasses approached, “Miss, it’s time for your medication.”
“Hey, why are you smiling? Are you feeling better?” I giggled.
The man in sunglasses started telling stories to coax me into taking my medicine, like one would a child. I played along, feigning innocence, “Wow, that’s amazing!” He got more excited, gesticulating wildly. I naturally transitioned, dousing him with cold water at his peak excitement, “How can a boy like stories about mermaids, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty? Only little girls in our hometown like those stories.”
“No, it’s not like that! I… because…” He blushed and got flustered.
“You are! You probably don’t know what the martial world is like. That’s not a place for naive boys like you. But I can tell you about it.” I tilted my head, looking quite impressive. “Speaking of the martial world’s gathering at Hua Mountain, heroes from all paths…”
“Stop!” someone shouted. “I’ve been in the underworld! If you’re going to talk about the martial world, don’t scare yourself into wetting your pants. What kind of story do you want to hear? There are stories of love, hate, gang wars, and battles…”
I glanced towards the car. “The Li family.”
He hesitated, then made a big decision, “Alright…”
“Speaking of which, before you and I were born, or rather, about forty to fifty years ago, the world was divided into four parts, controlled by four sects. You know, right? They had grand names like Dragon Gate, Lin Gate, Xuan Gate, and Yue Gate. The Li family is from Dragon Gate, and every heir’s name includes the sound ‘Long’ (Dragon), but for some reason, it stopped with this generation. Look, the three sons are named Ke Lin, Ke Xun, and so on.” I shivered, the implication was too clear… No wonder Ke Xun said he couldn’t escape… Li Sheng Long was merciless; he wanted his three sons dead!!
