On the wooden desk lay a stack of papers, all intelligence sent by Li Quan.
It must be said, Li Quan was remarkably talented in gathering information. By mingling with the members of the Green Bamboo Gang, he relayed to Lu Yan the latest significant events happening in the six counties of Lingdong every few days.
Lu Yan begins to peruse through each report.
For example: A young martial artist, pursued and driven off a cliff, finds a predecessor's inheritance beneath the precipice. Gaining a top-tier martial art, after many years of hardship and isolation, he emerges, obliterates his enemies, avenges his grudges and his name echoes through the world.
Or, the young master of a feudal lord, born with blocked meridians and unable to cultivate, faces derision and humiliation. After sinking into obscurity for years, he suddenly rises to fame, astonishing the world by crushing underfoot those who once mocked him.
