He is also the master of Lin Wuyou, the invincible man in the small world. He had a brilliant start, but a premeditated massacre of his entire family left him unable to return home, unable to spend his money, and forced to secretly use countless top-grade spirit stones, afraid to be ostentatious… He was even so miserable that he had to disguise himself to go to his own shop, lest he be recognized. Is dressing as a woman shameful? No, it's called strategy. Is developing in a sneaky way difficult? No, it's called maturity. Is scheming tiring? No, it's called wisdom. … Sigh… Who doesn't want to show their true face openly and honestly? Who doesn't want to grow stronger step by step in a fair and square way? Who doesn't want to live a carefree life? ... Life, life, as the name suggests, is about being born and living on. ...
