Chapter 110 Status in the Martial World

It was none other than the Protagonist Lin Tian!

This guy really wasn't dead!

Previously, Jiang Chenfeng had only speculated that the protagonist wouldn't die so easily.

But now, seeing with his own eyes that the protagonist had survived, he was still very surprised.

Jumping down from a height of several dozen meters while already suffering from serious injuries.

And he was still alive?

It was simply unbelievable!

Beside Lin Tian was another figure, lying on her side on the ground, lost in a coma.

It was Lin Tian's subordinate, Yuheng!

Yuheng's injuries were also very serious, but fortunately, she had jumped off the cliff without being injured beforehand, so she barely managed to save her life.

Jiang Chenfeng wanted to go up and kill Lin Tian, but he was weak and powerless, unable to stand up at all.

He also had injuries on his body.

He had just been severely injured by Tang Yuanlong, and adding the luck of surviving the great whirlpool, his stamina was completely exhausted.

"You haven't obtained a fortuitous encounter yet, right?" Jiang Chenfeng asked with a nervous face.

"Fortuitous encounter? What fortuitous encounter?"

Lin Tian frowned, not understanding the meaning of Jiang Chenfeng's words.

He had also just woken up and couldn't move at all right now.

Otherwise, he would have already made a move just now and killed Jiang Chenfeng directly!

After waking up, he saw the unconscious Jiang Chenfeng and also wanted to go up and kill Jiang Chenfeng.

But he didn't even have the strength to move his body, so how could he possibly kill Jiang Chenfeng?

Whoosh!

Just at this moment, a gust of wind swept across the small island.

"Eh? Unexpectedly, after so many years, there are actually still people who can intrude into this Old Man's place of seclusion?"

An aged voice reached their ears.

The instant they heard this voice, Lin Tian was surprised and nervous, while Jiang Chenfeng was calm.

As expected... the protagonist's fortuitous encounter had arrived!

According to the logic of normal urban power fantasy novels, after the protagonist encounters a major setback, there is bound to be a fortuitous encounter.

A fortuitous encounter will make the protagonist stronger!

If the protagonist falls into a cave, they will obtain top-tier martial arts manuals inside.

If the protagonist intrudes upon such a magical island, encountering an expert living in seclusion is also a matter of course!

Now, Jiang Chenfeng could only do his best to find ways to prevent Lin Tian from gaining the favor of the expert living in seclusion.

Swish!

An aged figure wearing a white robe suddenly appeared in front of Lin Tian and Jiang Chenfeng.

The other party was an Old Man with white hair, looking like an immortal with a transcendent demeanor; he was definitely an expert living in seclusion!

Lin Tian took a deep breath, trying hard to remain calm, and said politely: "Senior, are you the master of this small island? May I ask for your honorable name?"

The white-haired Old Man stood with his hands behind his back, his expression full of aloofness, and chuckled: "This Old Man has lived in seclusion here for over one hundred and fifty years, and no one has ever set foot on this island. You few are the first to set foot here."

"As for this Old Man's name, so many years have passed; even if I were to tell you, I believe you wouldn't know it, so it's better not to mention it!"

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to mention it, Lin Tian dared not continue to ask.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chenfeng carefully scrutinized the white-haired Old Man, his mind racing as he frantically thought of countermeasures.

He had to find a way to keep the white-haired Old Man from noticing Lin Tian!

He had to attract the white-haired Old Man's attention!

This white-haired Old Man had lived in seclusion for over one hundred and fifty years, which showed that he was definitely an expert living in seclusion.

If Lin Tian were to gain his approval, then he would definitely be doomed.

Jiang Chenfeng knew he could not remain silent, so he quickly said: "Senior has lived in seclusion here for over one hundred and fifty years, which means Senior must be an extraordinary person from the Tongzhi era!"

"This junior has always been very interested in extraordinary people and strange events, especially legendary figures from over one hundred and fifty years ago; I have an extremely profound understanding of them!"

"There are indeed many legendary figures from the Tongzhi era in the Jianghu, but among them, the extraordinary people with charisma simply do not have the talent and learning of Senior; and those with talent and learning completely lack the charisma of Senior!"

"Among the Jianghu, there should only be one person who is as charismatic and talented as Senior, and that is..."

Before Jiang Chenfeng could continue, the white-haired Old Man was already full of smiles and took the initiative to say: "That's right! This Old Man is the famous Master Xu Gu who lived during the Tongzhi era!"

Speaking of this, he revealed a look of appreciation and said to Jiang Chenfeng: "You brat actually have some discernment and knowledge; you actually know so much about things from over a hundred years ago? You were even able to see through this Old Man's true identity at a glance; even this Old Man has to say he is impressed by you!"

"That's not right!" Lin Tian had originally thought there was no problem with Jiang Chenfeng's words, but hearing Master Xu Gu's words immediately made him feel something was wrong, and he hurriedly said: "Senior Master Xu Gu, he didn't see through your identity at a glance; it was clearly you who said it yourself!"

This guy just flattered you a couple of times, and you happily blurted out your identity.

If that were all, it would be fine.

But you actually praised Jiang Chenfeng, which made Lin Tian a bit unable to accept it!

He didn't believe that Jiang Chenfeng was really so knowledgeable and talented that he could see through the true identity of this white-haired Old Man at a glance.

Those words just now were just flattery!

Even he could have made them up!

He just disdained to make them up!

"Brother Lin, I did indeed see through Senior Master Xu Gu's identity, it's just that Senior Master Xu Gu said it a step ahead of me!"

Jiang Chenfeng looked at Lin Tian and said seriously: "Senior Master Xu Gu is an extraordinary person with such charisma, talent, and cultivation; there is and only ever was one such person during the Tongzhi era!"

"You don't know about the status of Senior Master Xu Gu in the Jianghu over a hundred years ago, but you can't assume that I don't know either, right? Who in the Jianghu of the Tongzhi era did not know of Senior Master Xu Gu's deeds?"

"It is our great fortune to be able to meet Senior Master Xu Gu; it is absolutely the greatest stroke of luck in our lives! With Senior Master Xu Gu's abilities, if we could learn even a tiny bit, it would be enough for us to enjoy endless glory and wealth for the rest of our lives!"

"Jiang Chenfeng, you don't know anything about Senior Master Xu Gu's deeds at all! If you really knew, then tell us! I don't believe that a dandy like you would really have the leisure to look into the extraordinary people and strange events from over a hundred years ago!" Lin Tian roared.

Master Xu Gu's gaze swept over Jiang Chenfeng from a high position, and he said lightly: "Brat, do you think this Old Man is some vulgar person who really cares about your flattery?"

"This Old Man has been cultivating alone on this small island for over a hundred years and has long since taken all fame lightly. Even if you were to flatter this Old Man to the heavens, this Old Man would not feel the slightest bit happy!"

"If you want to use this method to fawn over this Old Man, then this Old Man can only say you are too naive!"
