Second Master Ji was no doubt an expert at storytelling.
This was a skill that he had trained and thoroughly polished through countless lies and his usual glib tongue. When told through him, this whole story was practically a history of blood and tears of the martial world!
No one who heard the story would ever doubt the authenticity of any aspect in the story at all!
Especially when Second Master Ji wept as he narrated the story. That sort of silent sobbing, that mix of grief and indignation that could drive one crazy, and that despondency as if he had lost all hope in life… He really portrayed it into his soul and beyond.
The entire plot was more capable of moving one to praises and tears, and was entirely worthy of being recorded into a book.
