Chapter 257: Drawing a pie? I won't eat that!

"Li Lianhua?" Upon hearing this name, Bai Zhantang felt a sense of familiarity; it seemed he had heard it somewhere before!

Immediately after, within a mere two or three breaths, Bai Zhantang reacted. He stared at Li Lianhua and exclaimed, "You are? The Master of the Lotus Building, Li Lianhua?"

Once these words were spoken, the entire Tongfu Inn fell silent. Guests at other tables also turned their heads to look over.

Generally speaking, where are the most important places for intelligence exchange?

If it were in a village, it would be at the village entrance or in the alleys, where a few aunties sit together, and intelligence is exchanged in a flash!

And in the Jiang Hu? Naturally, it would be teahouses and taverns!

When some martial artists sit together and have two or three cups of wine, don't they have to bring up some affairs of the Jiang Hu to discuss properly?

As for Tongfu Inn, naturally, many Jiang Hu people come and go. Working as a runner here, Bai Zhantang had of course heard of the deeds of the Master of the Lotus Building!

On Mount Wudang, he cured Yu Daiyan, who had been crippled for years.

At the battle of Brightness Peak, he turned the tide with his own strength!

And then there is the capital, where the rumor that the Divine Physician Li can refine the Youth-Preserving Pill, allowing people to remain forever young, has already begun to spread!

It is rumored that even the Emperor and the women of the inner palace are frantically asking to purchase the Youth-Preserving Pill from Li Lianhua!

Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, this Li Lianhua, who previously only existed in legends, had actually come to Tongfu Inn?

"Mm, not bad, I do indeed have a Lotus Building!" Hearing this, Li Lianhua nodded and said.

Very well, this confirmed Li Lianhua's identity. For a moment, the gazes of everyone in Tongfu Inn fell almost entirely upon Li Lianhua!

"Divine Physician Li, are you very familiar with my father?" At this moment, Guo Furong suddenly thought of something, stepped forward two paces, and asked.

"Rest assured, I am not here to drag you back!" Hearing Guo Furong's inquiry, Li Lianhua shook his head.

Having said this, he paused slightly, and Li Lianhua added, "Besides, although your father, the Guo Juxia, holds a high position and great power, he is not qualified to command me!"

Indeed, in terms of status, the status of the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis is even higher than that of the Guo Juxia, right? Didn't he just waste him away as he pleased?

Therefore, the Guo Juxia truly has no qualifications to command him to do anything!

"Divine Physician Li, you misunderstood. Actually, actually I am asking for your help!" Hearing Li Lianhua's words, Guo Furong shook her head and said.

"Help?" This statement left Li Lianhua stunned.

Staying in this Tongfu Inn, although poor, they are quite happy in their poverty. What could Guo Furong possibly need his help with?

"Divine Physician Li, please follow me..." At this time, Bai Zhantang from the side also mysteriously pulled Li Lianhua and walked towards the shopkeeper's side!

Feeling somewhat curious, Li Lianhua followed Bai Zhantang over.

Tong Xiangyu, Scholar Lu, and Mo Xiaobei all crowded around!

"Divine Physician Li, you must save us. These past few days, we really don't know what kind of life we are living!" Tong Xiangyu said with a near-tearful face, pleading for help from Li Lianhua.

"If there is something, tell me first. Whether I can help or not, we shall see!"

Li Lianhua did not say he would help, nor did he say he would not; after all, he didn't even know what the specific matter was!

"Divine Physician Li, let me tell you, about five days ago, several Jiang Hu people came to our inn to stay!"

"Originally, we are very happy when people stay at the inn. The longer they stay, the more room money we earn!"

"However, just two days ago, when Mo Xiaobei brought food to one of the middle-aged men, she discovered..."

As she spoke to this point, a look of terror appeared on Tong Xiangyu's face.

At the same time, after swallowing her saliva, she continued: "She discovered that there was a Sun Moon Divine Sect emblem on that middle-aged man's belongings!"

"This, isn't this Sun Moon Divine Sect a demonic sect?"

"People from this demonic sect have been staying at our inn for several days now. No one knows what their purpose is!"

"So, Divine Physician Li, now that you are here, will you save us?"

Tong Xiangyu was indeed frightened. The Sun Moon Divine Sect—that is a demonic sect that kills without blinking.

A few people from the Sun Moon Divine Sect have been staying at Tongfu Inn for several days?

She was truly somewhat afraid!

Bai Zhantang and Guo Furong from the side also nodded along!

Although both of them have some martial arts, especially Bai Zhantang, who is known as the Saint of Thieves!

However, fighting strength is not what Bai Zhantang excels at; stealing things and Lightness Skill are what he is best at!

Therefore, regarding a behemoth like the Sun Moon Divine Sect, Bai Zhantang also dared not act rashly.

Not to mention, after Bai Zhantang's secret observation, that middle-aged man whom Mo Xiaobei recognized as being from the Sun Moon Divine Sect was actually the high-ranking Heavenly King Xiang Wentian of the Sun Moon Divine Sect!

This is a high-ranking figure who holds real power in the Sun Moon Divine Sect; his status is even a notch higher than those elders of the Sun Moon Divine Sect!

"Pfft..." However, hearing Tong Xiangyu's words and seeing their anxious expressions, Li Lianhua couldn't help but laugh out loud!

"Di, Divine Physician Li, is there something funny about this?"

They were all terrified here, seeking help from Divine Physician Li, yet he actually laughed out loud?

This left Tong Xiangyu and the others bewildered, looking at each other in dismay!

"I'm sorry, you have some misunderstandings!"

Seeing the expressions of Tong Xiangyu and the others, Li Lianhua also knew that his laugh was somewhat inappropriate, so he followed up and explained.

While speaking, Li Lianhua first looked at Mo Xiaobei and said: "The feud between the Sun Moon Divine Sect and the Wuyue Sword Sect has a long history. Mo Xiaobei, you are from the Southern Hengshan Sect, so it is not strange that you can recognize the Sun Moon Divine Sect's emblem!"

"Furthermore, the reputation of the Sun Moon Divine Sect in the Jiang Hu is indeed not good, even three parts worse than the Ming Sect. It is reasonable that you would be afraid!"

"However, you don't need to be afraid; the people of the Sun Moon Divine Sect will not make a move against you!"

Hearing this comfort from Li Lianhua, Tong Xiangyu was clearly not so easily reassured: "Divine Physician Li, you also know that the people of the Sun Moon Divine Sect are ruthless. These people have stayed at my inn for so many days, it's like having swords hanging over our heads, not knowing when they will fall!"

"You can rest assured about this; they should be leaving today!" Seeing that Tong Xiangyu and the others were still very worried, Li Lianhua added!

"Divine Physician Li, how can you be sure they will leave today?" Bai Zhantang from the side spoke up!

Having said this, seemingly thinking of something, Bai Zhantang looked at Li Lianhua in surprise and said: "Could it be that those people from the Sun Moon Divine Sect have been waiting for you, Divine Physician Li, at the inn these past few days?"

Once Bai Zhantang's words were spoken, they first startled Tong Xiangyu and the others, but soon they also felt that Bai Zhantang's speculation made some sense!

Afterwards, they all looked at Li Lianhua with inquiring eyes!

"That is correct!"

Li Lianhua had no intention of hiding it either; he nodded and said, "They have been waiting in this inn for several days; they were indeed waiting for me!"

This was somewhat awkward!

Originally, after learning the identity of the Divine Doctor, they had been thinking about having the Divine Doctor take action against the people of the Sun Moon Divine Sect!

Who would have thought that they were actually in the same group?

The expressions of Tong Xiangyu and the others suddenly became somewhat awkward; they looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment!

"I came here just to treat someone's illness while I was at it; once the injuries and illnesses are healed, they will leave," Li Lianhua explained his relationship with the Sun Moon Divine Sect roughly, seeing the expressions on Tong Xiangyu and the others.

"That's good, that's good..." Hearing what Li Lianhua said, Tong Xiangyu and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they could be sure that those people from the Sun Moon Divine Sect would leave quickly, that was all that mattered!

"Divine Doctor Li? You really did come!" Just at this moment, Wen Hua happened to walk down from upstairs and shouted happily at Li Lianhua!

"Mm, I have already arrived," Li Lianhua said to Wen Hua with a nod!
