"I am the manager of Feng Huo Tang. Last March, wasn't it you who revived Shi Wenjue, the third young master of the Shi family, at the Ironclad Gate in Yizhou, after he had seemingly died?" Although it was phrased as a question, the manager had no intention of hearing what followed.
He had already concluded that Li Lianhua possessed the ability to bring the dead back to life.
Li Lianhua immediately started to act silly, "Hehe, oh dear, I just don't have a very good memory. This might be true, but it wasn't me." As she spoke, she scratched her face with an innocent expression.
"I need you to heal someone for me," the newcomer said, as if he hadn't heard Li Lianhua's words. He then stated his purpose for coming.
"Heh heh," this person is deaf and can't hear me, clearly he doesn't believe I'll help!
"A dead man"
As he spoke, he opened the coffin beside him. Inside lay a person, their face deathly pale, eyes closed, their entire being radiating an aura of death.
Because of the rumored ability to bring the dead back to life, now someone's come knocking on his door. If there really were such a thing as bringing the dead back to life, that would be truly unbelievable.
"..."
“Brother, there’s a mortuary about eight miles to the left of the street. The prices are fair, and they don’t cheat the young or the old. I think you should burn this guy’s body. It’ll be faster if you meet him again in his next life. I have to go home and cook. I don’t have time.”
After saying this, Li Lianhua wanted to go inside, but unfortunately, the people wouldn't budge. This troubled Li Lianhua greatly. He said he would heal a living person if they asked, but because his skills had been lost, it would depend on whether they were destined to meet.
If he draws the best fortune stick every day, he will agree to help cure the illness!
The manager of Feng Huo Tang did not want to offend Li Lianhua. This person who could revive the dead was the number one figure in the martial arts world. If he offended him, he would inevitably suffer some harm. So he could only say that he would go back to report to his hall master and then leave with his men.
After everyone had left, Li Lianxin came down from the second floor and asked, "What happened? Was it the Wind and Fire Hall?"
Li Lianhua didn't hide many things from Lianxin, since Lianxin already knew the whole plot. There was no difference between hiding it and not hiding it. Ever since the elusive master came to him last time, Li Lianhua knew the story was about to begin.
This means that the Forget-River Flower can also be found in the martial arts world, so he simply agreed to help the Empty-Handed Master, since he wouldn't lose out anyway.
"Yes, they'll definitely be coming over from time to time during this period. Please be careful. I won't be going out to see patients for a while." Although she knew that the weapons Lianxin made were more than enough to deal with those small fry, Li Lianhua still couldn't help but worry.
It would be better to bring her directly to the Lotus Pavilion. At least he would still be there if the people from the Wind and Fire Hall came. If Lianxin is so beautiful and some people are not comfortable getting close to her, he might not be able to resist dismembering her.
Although Li Lianhua's martial arts skills have not yet recovered due to the poison of the green tea, since he was fed blood by Lianxin for the past four years, his sense of taste and smell have not recovered. Otherwise, he is just like a normal person. He can use his internal energy occasionally without any problems.
"I bought a few chickens, and I'm going to make roast chicken tonight."
"Yay! ヾ(??▽?)ノ" Li Lianxin cheered excitedly when she heard that they were having roast chicken tonight. Li Lianxin's other cooking was terrible, enough to kill a fox spirit, but her roast chicken was absolutely divine.
It could also be because she is a fox.
While Li Lianhua was roasting the chicken, Li Lianxin and the fox spirit were both watching from the side. The fox spirit, in particular, had two drools dripping from the corners of her mouth. If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't cooked yet, she would have pounced on it long ago.
Li Lianxin stared blankly at Li Lianhua. [The arrival of Feng Huo Tang means Fang Xiaobao will be making his appearance soon!]
[At that time, only Di Feisheng will remain from the Iron Triangle of the Lotus Tower world!] Actually, Lianxin was quite excited. Although Wu Xie was poor, Fang Xiaobao was very rich. In the Lotus Tower world, Fang Xiaobao basically spent money to support Li Lianhua, this money-devouring beast.
"I remember Fang Duobing always regarded Li Lianhua as his master," Xiao Kou said, which reminded Li Lianxin. Perhaps it was because Fang Duobing had never called Li Lianhua "master" that she had almost forgotten that they were master and disciple.
Lotus just loves to fool his disciple; once Fang Xiaobao arrives, these peaceful days won't be over.
Li Lianhua had always been curious about Fang Xiaobao's background, whether he was a disciple or someone he had taken in during Li Xiangyi's time.
But the key point is that he didn't take on any apprentices when he was Li Xiangyi. Where did this guy come from?
"Sigh~, it's a pity Fang Xiaobao has such a disgusting father. I wonder what Lianhua would think if he knew Fang Xiaobao was Shan Gudao's child. But he'll definitely be able to let it go, after all, Fang Xiaobao isn't like his father."
Driven by lust for power, his mind is consumed by thoughts of how to ascend to the highest position. He's a man who would stop at nothing to gain power, even killing his own son. Fortunately, Fang Xiaobao not only doesn't resemble Shan Gudao in appearance, but his personality and temperament are also completely different.
[Perhaps it's because Fang Duobing has always lived in a clean environment and has never seen people blinded by power, plus his parents have indeed raised him very well.] Xiao Kou's words are indeed correct; Fang Duobing has been with He Xiaohui and Fang Zeshi since birth.
Even Shan Gudao didn't know at first that this was his son.
Now Li Lianhua basically guessed who Fang Xiaobao was. The only woman connected to Shan Gudao was He Xiaolan, the younger sister of He Xiaohui, the head of Tianji Hall.
Furthermore, He Xiaohui's husband happens to be surnamed Fang, so Fang Xiaobao must be the legendary, melancholy young master Fang Duobing.
He remembered Fang Duobing. He had spoken to him when he was young. Of course, the "master" was just a comforting remark. He didn't expect the little guy to take it seriously. In the end, they really did become master and disciple. They were both teacher and friend.
