"Can I tell a story?"

Everyone was taken aback by Duan Ling Tian's words.

Even Linghu Yun, the Fourth Young Master of the Linghu clan, and the old man sitting next to him in the private room were startled by Duan Ling Tian's sudden question.

'When everyone regained their senses, Duan Ling Tian had already sat cross-legged on the stage.

"Did he ask if he can tell a story?"

"He's going to tell us a story?"

Everyone's eyes were filled with surprise and doubt as they looked at the handsome purple-clad young man on the stage. The young man possessed an extraordinary bearing and looked as though he came from a noble family.

'Without waiting for a response, Duan Ling Tian began to tell the story.

"It's said that heaven and earth were one until a giant named Pan Gu appeared and divided heaven and earth. After splitting heaven and earth, Pan Gu collapsed to the ground. His blood became the rivers and vast oceans that we know and…"

Duan Ling Tian told the story of how Pan Gu created heaven and earth. As he continued speaking, the doubts in everyone's eyes disappeared, replaced with curiosity and interest.

Duan Ling Tian took half an hour to finish his story. Although he did not go into details, the guests were fascinated and hooked by his story.

'The guests were fascinated by the story of a giant splitting heaven and earth, and how the giant formed everything they knew on land.

'A few moments after Duan Ling Tian finished his story, a middle-aged man smacked his hand on the table before he gave Duan Ling Tian a thumbs-up as he said, "Amazing! What a compelling story! Little brother, you don't seem to be from around here?"

"Remarkable!"

The guests discussed fervently among themselves.

"As men, we should be like Pan Gu who created heaven and earth."

"My weapon is an ax like Pan Gu! Perhaps, I should create a new technique and name it 'Splitting Heaven and Earth'!"

"This story is truly creative!"

Duan Ling Tian had told the story on a whim, drawing inspiration from the stories on earth. He did not expect the guests to like the story so much.

Even the manager of Cloud Teahouse's eyes were bright as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. At this moment, he suddenly looked toward the private room. He had just received a message from Linghu Yun.

"Ask him to tell another story. If his second story is equally as fascinating as the first one, no, as long as it's not too boring, we'll hire him and triple what he's usually paid!"

"Yes, Fourth Young Master!" the manager replied respectfully. Then, he looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked with a smile, "Sir, do you mind telling us another story?"

"Alright." Duan Ling Tian instinctively glanced at the private room when he heard the manager's request. Since the room was hidden by a curtain, he could only vaguely see two figures in the room.

The guests looked at Duan Ling Tian with anticipation in their eyes as Duan Ling Tian began to tell another story. This time, he told a long story. The story was from his favorite author in his past life. After living two lives, he had wondered if the story was true since it matched his experience. He even

wondered, in the past, if he might be able to meet the author if the story was not fictional.

Duan Ling Tian slowly said, "In the mundane realm, there is a beautiful blue planet called earth. A crazy cultivator brought a young man away from an unknown planet to Earth that was located far away. After arriving on Earth, the young man began his glorious life. 1,000 years later, he became the

strongest person on that planet and was only a step away from becoming a divine being, Alas, an accident happened, causing him to travel back to 1,000 years ago…."

The story Duan Ling Tian told was a novel called the Eastern Emperor. In the past, he had read the book while he was on a mission. He was so engrossed in the novel that he had lost track of time, causing him to almost fail his mission. Hence, he was confident the guests of Cloud Teahouse would be

similarly hooked by the story. Most importantly, he was sure the story would arouse the interest of Linghu Yun, the Fourth Young Master of the Linghu clan.

'When the sky outside turned dark, Duan Ling Tian finally said, "That's all for today…"

Duan Ling Tian's story had started at noon so he decided it was time to end it.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words, the guests finally regained their senses after being immersed in the story for so long.

"Little brother, you have to continue the story! What happened after that? Was that ungrateful Chen Tong Tong punished by karma?"

"That's right! You have to continue! I'm dying to know if Chen Dong Huang manages to seek revenge from Chen Tong Tong!"

"Little brother, please! I want to know if Chen Dong Huang manages to reunite with his biological parents and save them!"

The guests looked at Duan Ling Tian eagerly, hoping he would continue with the story.

"Manager," Duan Ling Tian said to the manager of Cloud Teahouse through Voice Transmission, "The teahouse is past its closing time, right?"

'The manager who had been engrossed in the story, imagining himself as the main character of the story, was pulled back to his senses by the Voice Transmission. Throughout the story, he had experienced highs and lows. He hesitated for a moment before he finally said to the crowd, "Dear guests, it's

Cloud Teahouse's closing time now. I'll speak to this little brother here and persuade him to return tomorrow to continue the story."

'The guests who were displeased that they did not get to hear the end of the story perked up when they heard the end of the manager's words.

"Manager! You must make sure he returns tomorrow! I'll bring five of my friends here tomorrow if he returns!"

"ll bring ten people with me!"

"Manager, I'll return tomorrow! However, if he's not here, I'm not going to come to the teahouse ever again!"

Before the guests left, they all spoke to the manager one after another. Some threatened him, and some tried to coax him. Nonetheless, he could empathize with them. After all, he was also eager to know the ending of the story.

'When everyone left, the manager ordered one of the employees to shut the main door before he looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked with a smile, "Little brother, what's your name?"

"Duan Ling Tian," Duan Ling Tian replied honestly. He did not hide his true identity since his plan required him to use his true identity.

"Duan Ling Tian?" The manager furrowed his brows slightly. The name sounded familiar, but he could not recall where he had heard it before.

In the private room.

"Duan Ling Tian? I think I've heard of this name before." Linghu Yun frowned slightly as well.

"Duan Ling Tian! It's him?!" the old man sitting next to Linghu Yun exclaimed.

"Grandpa Xuan, you've heard of him?" Linghu Yun asked curiously.

"Yun, do you remember the news from King Descending City a few months ago?" the old man asked with a smile.

Linghu Yin's eyes lit up as realization dawned on him. "I remember now! A few months ago, Elder Qing Ze and Sister Chu Yin went to King Descending City and ran into a Hidden Fog Sect disciple. That disciple is the first advanced god to become a core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect in 10,000 years after

Xue Hai Chuan! His name is Duan Ling Tian! $o it's really him!"

Linghu Yun continued to say, filled with admiration, "What a talent! Not only is he highly talented in cultivation, but he's such a good storyteller as well!"

The old man looked at the purple figure in the hall as he asked with a contemptuous smile, "Yun, do you really think his purpose is as simple as telling a story?"

"Grandpa Xuan, you're saying he came to tell stories because he has ulterior motives?" Linghu Yun immediately caught the meaning behind the old man's words. "With his identity, I'm sure he doesn't lack divine rocks. Then… Did he come for me?"

A hint of relief could be seen in the old man's eyes when he turned to look at Linghu Yun. "You're smart. If I'm not mistaken, this young man plans to meet Young Miss Chu Yin through you."

Linghu Yun smiled. "Interesting." Then, he said to the manager of Cloud Teahouse through Voice Transmission, "Bring him in. I want to meet him."

Outside the private room.

'The manager quickly regained his senses after receiving Linghu Yun's message and said with a smile, "Little brother, our Young Master wants to meet you.."
