Chapter 659
It was then that they saw.
At the corner of the street ahead, three elderly men were approaching with bright smiles on their faces.
Although they lived in the lower strata, how could they not have heard of some of the powerful figures in the Immortal Continent?
These three men were recognizable.
They were the renowned fourth-rank array masters from the Heavenly Array Immortal Continent, the Lin Brothers.
They never expected that just moments after talking about these big shots, they would encounter three of them so quickly.
However.
What was even more shocking to them was that these three men were walking straight towards them and politely asked, "May we ask which one of you is the shopkeeper here?"
"You're looking for me?"
The Shopkeeper, upon hearing this, was so tongue-tied that he stammered, "I-I-I am...""Oh, so you're the shopkeeper."
The three men approached warmly and politely said, "We are the Lin Brothers, Lin Tian, Lin Di, and Lin Ren. We've come here today because we have a small favor to ask of you."
The Shopkeeper was completely baffled.
Why were these three men being so polite to him?
This left him feeling both honored and flustered.
As a humble shopkeeper, how could he handle such courtesy from three fourth-rank array masters? He immediately responded with utmost respect, "Please, esteemed sirs, feel free to instruct me, and I will do my best to assist."
"Oh!"
Lin Ren waved his hand and quickly said, "No need to be so formal, it's just a favor."
With that, he gestured, and a low-grade immortal artifact landed in the Shopkeeper's hands.
Seeing this, Lin Tian and Lin Di were quite pleased with Lin Ren's action.
After all, they had made sure to gather information that the one they sought was staying in the courtyard behind this shop.
Their arrival was likely already within his awareness, so their attitude at this moment was crucial.
The heavy immortal artifact left the Shopkeeper speechless.
What...
What was going on here?
What could he, a mere commoner, possibly deserve such treatment?
“Three adults, may I ask what exactly you need? I…”
The Shopkeeper's face was filled with anxiety, his heart pounding with unease.
"Haha, shopkeeper, there's no need to be so nervous," Lin Tian chuckled. "We just want to ask you to deliver a message to the courtyard behind you, telling them that the Lin Brothers wish to pay a visit."
"Deliver a message?"
"The courtyard behind me?"
The Shopkeeper was startled.
Wasn't the person in the courtyard behind him just a young man who was so poor that he only had gold coins left?
Why would three such important figures come all this way just to see him? What was going on?
Despite the myriad of questions in his mind, he dared not refuse.
Please wait a moment, esteemed gentlemen. I'll go deliver the message right away.
The Shopkeeper walked towards the courtyard not far behind him and knocked on the door.
"Is there something I can help you with?"
Yi Feng opened the gate, poking his head out with sleepy eyes.
Before the Shopkeeper could respond, Lin Tian and the others saw Yi Feng and quickly hurried over.
We pay our respects to the esteemed predecessor.
At the gate, the three spoke in unison, their heads bowed in reverence.
This scene.
Scared the Shopkeeper so badly that he fell to the ground.
???
Respected senior?
What did this mean?
It meant that this young man, who was supposedly so poor that he only had gold coins, was actually a master more powerful than the Lin Brothers?
In an instant, he understood why Lin Tian and the others had been so polite to him—it was because there was a master even more formidable than the Lin Brothers staying in his courtyard.
He could never have imagined that his humble courtyard had harbored such a mighty dragon.
