Chapter 69: Lethal Rain and the Maiden

  Chapter 69: Lixiao Yu and the Young Girl

  Li Changlao's residence was not luxurious, nor was it particularly large. It was just an ordinary civilian house with a few adjacent outhouses surrounded by a two-meter high and half-meter thick earthen wall, forming a simple small courtyard. The surrounding wall faced the direction of the road and had a semi-circular gate that was half-open, through which could be seen many people visiting inside the yard.

  As he entered the courtyard, Han Li only then discovered that there were actually many more people inside than what could be seen from outside. They gathered in threes and twos, quietly discussing Elder Li's injuries.

  Han Li had long heard that Li Chang was one of the few kind-hearted high-ranking members of the Seven Mysteries Sect, who rarely lost his temper to either low-level disciples or colleagues, and never fought for power or profit within the sect. As such a good-natured elder, he naturally received widespread praise from top to bottom in the sect, making his relationships unusually good. Now that Li Chang had encountered trouble, those with some status, whether sincerely or hypocritically, would certainly come to visit him personally or send someone to do so, resulting in the scene of a crowd gathering before them.

  As soon as Han Li entered, he was recognized by the crowd in the courtyard. Immediately, those with lower identities such as the guardians rushed over and greeted him one after another.

  "Great Korean doctor!"

  "Dr. Han has arrived!"

  …………

  Wave after wave of flattering words kept pouring into his ears, and he couldn't help but listen.

  Looking at these enthusiastic faces, Han Li's face was also radiant with sunshine. He smiled and returned the greetings one by one, appearing extremely polite, but in his heart, he was actually fed up with these hypocritical social niceties.

  It's just that those with higher status, a few deputy hall masters and the like, had some self-restraint, only slightly nodding at Han Li, hinting to him without approaching him.

  The actions of these people have given Han a few points of good impression, and he doesn't need to entertain several big brothers anymore.

  Ma Rong was too low in status to intervene, so he could only stand by and watch as Han Li and the others engaged in their endless, sticky social interactions. His face was filled with anxiety, his hands clenched into fists.

  Finally, after waiting for Han Li to finish greeting the last person, he couldn't help but rush up immediately, grab Han Li's arm and walk towards the house. This rash behavior made some people who hoped to get close to the great doctor Han reveal a few hints of dissatisfaction.

  Han Li's face seemed to be smiling wryly, but in his heart he was actually delighted. He could finally get rid of those annoying people without offending anyone.

  Han Li was directly pulled into the living room by Ma Rong like this.

  There were not many people inside, apart from a few family members, there were also two elderly men and the deputy head of the Ma clan. But what surprised Han Li was that Lü Feiyu was also inside the house.

  This surprised Han Li a bit. As far as he knew, Lü Feiyu and Li Changzhen shouldn't have any relationship with each other, so why was he appearing here?

  Just as Han Li was filled with doubts, he saw Lian Fei Yu standing beside a petite girl with tear stains on her face, constantly comforting her. The diligent appearance was vastly different from his usual demeanor in front of other disciples and even himself, revealing an unmistakable lovesick expression.

  Looking at Lifi's entanglement in the emotional web, Han Li suddenly realized and couldn't help but feel a little surprised and amused.

  He hastily took a closer look at the woman's appearance, wondering what kind of beauty could capture Lü Fei Yu, such an unscrupulous and lawless fugitive.

  The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a jade hairpin on her head, wearing a pale green dress that matched her petite figure perfectly. Her raven-black hair was braided into two small pigtails behind her back, adding a mischievous touch to her already sweet face. However, her eyes were now slightly red and swollen, making her look pitiful and evoking an urge in people to hold her in their arms and cherish her dearly.

  "Hmm! She's indeed a genuine little beauty." Han Li secretly admired her for a few moments, thinking that Leng Fei Yu falling into this girl's emotional trap was also understandable, but he also felt a hint of envy and jealousy, wondering when he would have his own red-dressed confidante.

  Perhaps seeing Han Li notice the girl, Ma Rong hastily stepped forward to introduce the people inside the house to him.

  Ma Mengzhu and a white-faced Qian Changlao Han Li had met before, so there was no need to say more. He immediately took the initiative to come forward and pay his respects.

  "Hello, Master Ma and Elder Qian!"

  "Haha! Master Han has arrived!" Ma Men's master seemed very down-to-earth and didn't put on any airs in front of Han Li.

  "Just let Han Dafu be Han Dafu, why bring a small character?" Han Li secretly scolded the other person in his heart.

  Qian Zhanglao nodded coldly, his attitude was the exact opposite of Ma Mengzhong's, but Han Li didn't take it to heart. He knew that Qian had practiced a special internal skill, which required him to be absolutely emotionless and desireless towards everyone.

  Another tall and burly old man with a red face, Han Li felt very unfamiliar, should have never seen him before, but his palm skin was rough, his fingers were short and thick, one look knew that he had practiced special skills on his hands.

  "This is Elder Zhao, a close friend of our family master. He has been supervising the work of the Treasure Hall outside the mountain and just returned two days ago." Ma Rong introduced from the side.

  Old Zhao responded with a lukewarm "hmm" through his nose, without saying anything, but the skeptical look in his eyes was quite pronounced, clearly he didn't quite trust this young Korean doctor's medical skills.

  Since this Old Zhao didn't seem to care about himself, Han Li wouldn't take the initiative to fawn over others either. He asked a perfunctory greeting in a very calm tone and wanted to bypass this person.

  Tomorrow I will concentrate on revising the unreasonable parts pointed out by book friends, and only one chapter can be updated. Please forgive me, book friends! I will write a better book.
