Han Feiyu's assessment of this guide on dealing with storytellers is that it's hard to say whether it's effective.

After all, as a qualified storyteller, he also participated in the writing of this book.

During the writing phase, he also sensed that more than one colleague was mixed in with the writing team.

As for everyone's purpose?

Han Feiyu was just bored and wanted to find some fun, but the others had different ideas.

"Some of them did it intentionally, adding some inaccurate content."

This book serves as a warning to those who, while trying to guard against storytellers, let their guard down when they feel safe.

In this way, the storyteller would actually attack them, and the victims wouldn't easily escape.

Another group of storytellers actually incorporated real-world risk avoidance knowledge into their stories, drawing upon their own experiences as storytellers.

What's the point? They have clever tricks to avoid these risk-avoidance tips. Once the guidelines are released, their targets will be less likely to be hunted by their competitors, while they themselves will remain unaffected.

"I can only say that in less than a year, a vibrant and thriving world has emerged right before our eyes."

Storytellers are all skilled and talented; they're all exceptional individuals with pleasant voices. I particularly admire these fellow storytellers.

Han Feiyu himself was also thinking about what kind of work he wanted to do next, and this time he wanted to do something big.

You continue your wanderings, and occasionally, rumors of the All-Knowing Scholar's presence will surface in various places.

Many martial arts masters, in order to end the chaos in the martial arts world, want to organize a force to surround and kill you.

Once Bai Xiaosheng is killed, those new-style storytellers will lose their leader and perhaps quiet down for a while.

However, they never actually caught you. Some of your whereabouts were real, but by the time they got there, you had already left.

[Some of them are fake; they are other storytellers who think they are skilled enough and want to pull off a big show, so they set traps for these experts.]

Of course, there is a very consistent understanding of Bai Xiaosheng in the martial arts world.

Whether you're a storyteller or a compiler of other manuscripts, you know that Bai Xiaosheng possesses the most complete, most useful, and most powerful collection of original manuscripts in the entire world.

Moreover, with so many crimes and so much chaos he stirred up, Bai Xiaosheng must have accumulated unimaginable wealth.

No one knows exactly how many good things you have; they're just guessing based on their imaginations.

"So, you're serious about coming to me to play around with the so-called treasure trove of knowledge?"

Isn't this the kind of thing that usually only happens after someone dies, when a large number of brave souls start wanting to engage in tomb raiding or something similar?

The storyteller's corpse was thrown on the ground, and several other martial artists lay dead not far away; the battle here was over.

For various reasons, this all-knowing scholar indeed became a thorn in the side of the martial arts world.

Moreover, the known original manuscript inventory includes at least the Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, who is second only to the emperor, and some storytellers have also tried to take the risk.

"Don't you understand why so many powerful figures are only allowed to be tomb raided after they die?"

When we were alive, you couldn't beat us.

I found a quote I heard before quite interesting: "Even if all of you rushed at me, you wouldn't survive until I ran out of energy."

After clapping his hands, Han Feiyu made no move to clean up the scene. He simply picked through the manuscripts that the dead storyteller had revealed.

His whereabouts were exposed intentionally.

Or perhaps it was because of Bai Xiaosheng's treasure trove that he was surrounded and killed by experts. Only the first time was an accident, and the rest were all part of his plan.

"The treasure trove of the all-knowing scholar? That's certainly a good source of fictional material, isn't it?"

Each time, challengers die, ensuring that the treasure vault's reserves expand with each iteration.

Humans are inherently greedy; they fantasize that if they could defeat Bai Xiaosheng, they could become the strongest in the world.

"Can't win? What if we succeed? Poisoning, assassination, sneak attacks—you're good at those, and so am I!"

Several years have passed since that guide was published throughout the world. The martial arts world has indeed recovered somewhat after the chaos caused by the storyteller.

Or rather, storytellers and masters of other paths have reached a special balance.

The path of a storyteller is not actually that easy to take.

The initial learning of reading and writing, along with the ability to connect with the characters in the books, is already a major hurdle for many people.

The first attempt to seize or fabricate a story, because the storyteller's path adds almost no numerical value, means that the failed storyteller has already gone underground to reunite.

Then, due to their poor acting skills and occasional accidental exposure, some new-style storytellers would be discovered by stronger individuals during the hunt and be directly killed.
