"You know my grandpa?"
Lin Fan, catching his breath, looked at the old man in surprise.
But judging by his appearance, he did indeed resemble his grandpa.
"Of course, Wu Lao and I grew up without a care in the world. When I first knew him, he was still wetting the bed."
The old man used one arm to support himself on the rim of the tank and sat on it casually, his ease and water skills making Lin Fan admire him greatly.
"Senior, you just mentioned the Water Assassin... is that the Qi Men Water Xiao?"
Feng Xiaoxiao, who was leaning beside Lin Fan, looked at the old man in amazement. Upon hearing the question, the old man stroked his graying beard: "Oh, young lady, you know a bit. I saw your water skills were quite impressive earlier. Could it be related to my Qi Men Water Xiao?"
"I... work as a mermaid at the Ocean Park, and that's where I honed my water skills... As for Qi Men Water Xiao, I've only read about it in the archives. I originally thought it was just a legend, but now I see it's not baseless."
Feng Xiaoxiao looked at the old man with admiration, her gaze making Lin Fan a bit curious: "Do you want to tell me what the Qi Men Water Xiao is?"
"Transport on land, raiding tombs, building tombs underwater, Qi Men Water Xiao."
Feng Xiaoxiao looked at the old man, and when he didn't stop her, she briefly recounted what she could remember.
"Transporting on land just refers to tomb raiding. Now, many archaeologists are descendants of tomb raiders. As tomb raiding became more rampant, people started focusing on water, using it as a natural barrier, which led to the emergence of Qi Men Water Xiao."
After a pause, Feng Xiaoxiao continued: "Originally, the term Water Assassin was a general term for people skilled in water, but as the Jiangnan Jiang Family grew stronger, they turned it into a craft using the Qimen Dunjia technique to build underwater tombs, with exceptionally hidden traps. The Qi Men Water Xiao is said to be the only person capable of breaking them, able to stay underwater for over half an hour without any tools."
"Half an hour!"
Lin Fan looked at the old man in amazement, knowing the current Guinness World Record was only twenty-four minutes, and his fifteen minutes was already enough to surpass everyone in Qingshan.
"You know quite a bit, young one. Our sect's secret technique does indeed include underwater breathing, and half an hour is just the standard. Some have used our Turtle Breathing Technique to hold their breath for an entire hour."
The old man nodded with a smile: "I am the thirty-seventh generation head of the Jiang Clan Water Robber, do you want to learn my Turtle Breathing Skill?"
"Turtle Breath... sounds too much like 'Rest in Peace'... doesn't sound very auspicious, so no, I don't want to!"
Lin Fan propped himself up on the rim of the tank. Although holding his breath for over half an hour was impressive, it didn't seem particularly useful to him. But understanding his purpose for being here was enough.
"Are you stupid? If it wasn't for my friendship with your grandpa, how could I possibly teach you? Don't realize a treasure when you find one!"
The old man was stunned that Lin Fan would refuse, so he spoke with a stern face.
"I don't know if it's a treasure, but no matter how good the water skills are, they don't seem to help me much. I won't waste time on this."
Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders: "With modern technology, why not just use an oxygen tank instead of troubling oneself?"
"Good lad!"
The old man's face suddenly turned stern, and in a flash, he swooped down like an eagle: "Let's see where you get your oxygen tank now!"
