Chapter 1883
“What happened then?” the billionaire asked.
The boatman continued to talk freely. “Lu Songliang was at the peak of his life after the Supreme
title was bestowed upon him. Who would have thought a man would suddenly show up with a sword
and killed off numerous fighters of Weske? Even Lu Songliang, the head of the Lu n, was also
killed.”
The boatman continued in admiration, “In the end, the entire Weske was bathed in blood. Even
Heart Ind, which always had lush vegetation, waspletely scorched. After that, Weske was
closed for more than a year, and no tourists were allowed to enter. It has only been reopened
recently, and Heart Ind, which you see now, has been repaired and renovated after the brutal
battle.”
Unexpectedly, the billionaires on the boat burst intoughter as soon as the boatman finished.
“Dude, did you read too many novels? I admit that your story is vivid, and most audiences would
think that parts of it did indeed happen. If we aren''t firm believers of materialism, we might have
fallen for your mystical story by now.”
The other billionaires shooktheir hands and chuckled.
The boatman stared at him and said, “You don''t believe me, do you? You''re thinking that I made up
these stories?”
“Hahaha... Mister, it''s not that we don''t trust you, but your story is simply too outrageous. How can
someone massacre so many people in a society that embraces the rule ofw? Besides, if that
personmitted premeditated murder by killing that many people in Weske, it would have
be major news. In that case, why aren''t we aware of such news?”
The other billionaires continued to shake their heads, thinking that the old boatman had made up
such an absurd story.
After a while, one of the billionaires said, “Mister, I''m afraid he''s right. In today''s modern world, the
era of fighting and killing with cold weapons has passed. No matter how sharp a sword is, it is no
match for a bullet. Anyone who rushes to Weske to kill others with a sword will be shot dead by
snipers within seconds.”
The next moment, another billionaire added, “Well, I did hear about the tragedy in Weske. Back
then, the Lu n''s stage copsed and led to many deaths in theke. However, there were no so-
called fighters involved. In conclusion, it was an ident and not a mystical incident.”
All billionaires thought the boatman was spouting nonsense.
After all, it was difficult for ordinary folks to believe stories that sounded like a fantasy.
At most, they only treated the boatman''s story as a legendary tale.
“How short-sighted! You don''t think it''s true because you didn''t see it. Moreover, you think I''m
spouting nonsense because it''s something beyond your understanding! It''s up to you whether you
believe it or not. You have limited knowledge about it, but it doesn''t mean I''m wrong.”
The boatman was a prideful man. He decided not to continue sharing the story since they thought
he made it up on his own.
The billionaires couldn''t help butugh again. Then, one of them asked mockingly, “Yes, we''re
indeed short-sighted. Since you are so sure that a fighter, who is strong enough to destroy the
world, has obliterated the Lu n, do you know who he is?”
The billionaire continued with a grin, “We know that you''re very experienced. Since the fighter is a
prominent figure, I''m sure you must know his name.”
It appeared that the billionaires intended to expose the boatman''s lie.
The boatman sneered, “Well, you''re right. I do know his name. Anyway, you don''t have to mock me.
Judging from your attire, I can tell that you are rich. The ces I have visited and the things I have
seen are no match for yours. After all, I''ve spent almost my entire life rowing the boat on Weske
and have only seen the sunset here.”
After pausing for a while, the boatman added, “However, even though it may be true that I have
seen lesser things than you, I have listened to stories galore. After all, I have rowed the boat for
decades, of which more than ten thousand customers have boarded it.
“A few years ago, a few tourists from other provinces visited Weske and told me the story. The
fighter''s name is Mo Wuya. He is the son of Mo Gucheng, the King of Fighters. Also, he is one of
the most
outstanding young men in China''s martial arts world nowadays.”
The boatman shared the story proudly. At that moment, he seemed like a knowledgeable professor
who was teaching his fellow students a valuable lesson.
“Mo Wuya? Who is he? Did you say he is the son of the King of Fighters? Well, it does seem that he
is a powerful figure then.”
The billionaires were still puzzled by the whole story, and some began to think that the boatman had
made the name up.
“Hah! What nonsense!” Just when everyone was feeling suspicious, someone suddenly huffed in
anger.
They turned around and saw a young man with a darkened expression.
Chu Wenfei said mockingly, “Mister, can you not spout nonsense if you don''t know the truth?”
He couldn''t help but stop the boatman from continuing.
One of the billionaires scoffed. “Hahaha! See, even the young man thinks that you''re talking
nonsense. As we have said, all these mystical stories are nothing but hogwash.”
At that, the other billionairesughed out loud while shaking their heads.
The next moment, Chu Wenfei said firmly, “You must have misunderstood me. I''m not saying that
the boatman''s story is nonsense. Instead, I''m saying that the name he mentioned was wrong. I was
there during the battle, after all.

“After arriving at Jiangbei, that person killed Lu Songliang and took down half of the heroes in
Weske. The boatman didn''t lie about that. The fighter is as real as you and me!
“However, Mo Wuya was not the fighter''s name. Instead, the fighter was a young man named Ye
Fan, the lord of Jiangdong and my biggest arch enemy. Even though I was the one who had thest
laugh in the end, I can''t allow you guys to discredit all the things he had done!”
Hearing that, the boatman was startled by Chu Wenfei''s overbearing aura.
The next moment, the boatmen apologized repeatedly and exined that he had heard the story
from others. He also added that he didn''t mean to offend anyone.
“It''s okay. I only hope that you won''t forget his name,” Chu Wenfei murmured.
The brutal battle back then had since been engraved in Chu Wenfei''s mind.
After the battle, he upended his impression of Ye Fan and started looking at how the world worked
from a new perspective.
Apart from that, he finally realized that many things were beyond his knowledge.
“Young man, did you read too many novels as well? Do you really believe a man could defeat that
many fighters and scorch the ind alone? Come on, just stop with the nonsense.”
“As humans'' strength has its limits, the most we can do is to break a huge stone apart. Only the
characters in novels are capable of destroying the world.”
With contempt evident in their eyes, the billionaires started mocking Chu Wenfei and the boatman.
Figuring that they were simply too naive, Chu Wenfei couldn''t be bothered to exin it to them
anymore.
After all, just like them, he used to believe that only the things he knew were true.
As such, anything beyond his imagination was pure nonsense.
Nevertheless, Chu Wenfei eventually realized that he was pathetic for having such a mindset in the
past.
He was now aware of the fact that the ignorant ones would always prefer mocking others for
knowing too little.
“Perhaps Ye Fan thought I was the ignorant one back then.”
A myriad of emotions stirred within Chu Wenfei as memories of the past shed through his mind.
As they conversed, the ship had arrived at the ind.
Once the billionaires got ashore, the quiet ind suddenly became lively.
Those from the Meng family sat on the seats at the top. It was as though they were kings waiting for
their subjects to worship them.
At that moment, no one knew that a thousand meters away from there, a man could be seen
walking alone.
