Chapter 92 The Three Shocked
"Ah Fei, didn't I say a lot of things about you before without your permission? I've come here today specifically to apologize."
Wu You picked up the tea that Li Lianhua had poured and, as if offering a gift, handed it to Di Feisheng.
"It's nothing." Di Feisheng took the teacup from Wu You and drank it all in one gulp.
Although I don't care, isn't this apology a bit late? So much time has passed that I've forgotten about it.
"Thank you. But I suspect that even if you don't say it, you have some thoughts about it."
Li Lianhua, who had been looking at Wu You, also looked at Di Feisheng.
Di Feisheng: No, don't talk nonsense.
“You’ve already allowed me to live in this courtyard, so let’s call it even.”
"Let's put this aside. I didn't come empty-handed today; I brought you what you want most right now."
"What I want most? Do you know what I want most?"
Di Feisheng was extremely concerned. What he wanted most right now was to break through his martial arts skills, but he had not been able to do so.
Li Lianhua also looked at Wu You curiously, wondering what good ideas Wu You might have.
"Of course I know, that's it."
Wu You placed Luo Mo Ding's photo in front of Di Feisheng.
Di Feisheng looked at the small object in front of him. There was a dark red object with unfamiliar symbols engraved on it. He had never seen it before and did not know what it was.
Li Lianhua glanced down and saw that it was the small cauldron she had found in the First-Rank Tomb. Why was Wu You taking out its picture?
"What is this? Could it help me?"
"Do you remember the flying insect I told you about before, the one inside your body?"
"Could that really be a flying insect? Where is it? Should I catch it?"
Di Feisheng raised his hand and looked around, completely unaware of where it was.
"To be precise, that's the Southern Yin Secret Technique, the Gu Worm. It's what suppressed your meridians, preventing your martial arts from breaking through."
"Nan Yin's secret techniques? Gu worms? What are these?"
Di Feisheng was curious, and Li Lianhua also wanted to know.
"I won't say more now; you'll learn about it gradually later. What you need to know now is that this small cauldron, also known as the Luo Mo Cauldron, can draw out the Gu worms from your body."
"Is this the Luo Mo Ding?"
Di Feisheng picked up the photo and examined it carefully. He had never seen this before. Where should he begin his search? But no matter what, he had to find it.
"What's inside this Rama Cauldron? Do you know where it is?"
"This also contains a Gu worm. As the saying goes, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp. One thing subdues another. The Gu worm inside can suppress all the Gu worms in the world."
"As for the Rama Cauldron, it's right here with me. Otherwise, where do you think this photo came from?"
"Quick, can I borrow it?"
Di Feisheng was very excited. As long as he dealt with this worm, he might be able to break through immediately and get closer to Li Lianhua.
"It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but it wouldn't be of any use to you even if I did."
"Why didn't it work? Didn't you just say it would?"
Di Feisheng was very anxious. Could Wu You finish speaking all at once? Leaving half a sentence unsaid was truly a test of his composure.
If Li Lianhua hadn't been there, Di Feisheng would have wanted to snatch it.
"To put it simply, I have the Rama Cauldron, but I don't have the key to it, so I can't open it. There's nothing I can do."
Wu You shrugged, indicating that he was powerless to help.
"Does Youyou know where the key to the Luomo Cauldron is? What does it look like?" Li Lianhua poured Wu You a cup of tea.
"You know Yuanbao Manor, right? There's one there."
"Yuanbao Manor".
Li Lianhua and Di Feisheng pondered. Jin Mantang of Yuanbao Manor did have a priceless treasure, the head of the Bolan Man, but they had never heard of the key to the Luo Mo Ding.
"Youyou, you just said that there is one key in Yuanbao Manor. Does that mean there is more than one key to the Luomo Cauldron?"
"The key to this Luo Mo Cauldron is also known as Luo Mo Tian Bing. There are four of them. They are white and transparent with a serrated shape and are scattered among the four major forces in the martial arts world."
“Yuanbao Manor has recently gained prominence and is seeking renowned doctors from across the land. I think this is a good opportunity. This Jin Mantang is extremely timid and cautious, and rarely shows his face in the martial arts world.”
"I'll go and snatch it."
Di Feisheng picked up the dice next to him and was about to leave when Li Lianhua stopped him.
"That was many years ago in the Southern Yin Kingdom. Tianbing is in the Central Plains, so it must have been secretly hidden by the Southern Yin people. Now that so many years have passed, it will be very difficult to find. Let's think of another way."
"There are several forces and individuals searching for this Luo Motian Ice. Wouldn't it be better if you waited for them to find it and then took it from them yourself?"
"Good idea, but I'd only feel at ease if I could see it in person."
Li Lianhua agreed.
"Who else is looking for this Luo Motianbing?"
Di Feisheng asked, "As long as I follow these people, I can take it from whichever side finds it."
Wu You glanced at Di Feisheng: "For example, the Holy Maiden Jiao Liqiao of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, she is indeed a descendant of the Southern Yin."
Wu You glanced at Li Lianhua again, which made Li Lianhua's heart tighten.
"Take Shan Gu Dao for example. He will do everything he can to surpass you. If he gets his hands on the Gu worms in the Luo Mo Cauldron and controls thousands of people suffering from them, you will find it difficult to face them."
Li Lianhua and Di Feisheng faced each other, neither wanting to speak for a moment.
“I feel most at ease keeping this Luo Mo Cauldron with me. A Fei, find someone to make a fake one, and then make it look like it was brought out of the First-Class Tomb after going through all sorts of hardships. Spread the word out, and they will definitely try to snatch it.”
"Without four pieces of Luo Mo Tian Ice, they can't open it and won't know if it's real or fake. This will attract their attention. Nanfeng went out not long ago and found many unfamiliar people wandering around Qingfeng Alley."
"Okay, I understand. I won't let Jiao Liqiao know about this." Di Feisheng put the so-called photo into his pocket, intending to hand it over to Wu Yan later.
"Have you figured out what to do?"
Di Feisheng pondered for a moment: "Since Yuanbao Manor is recruiting renowned doctors from all over the country, then what about Doctor Li..."
When Li Lianhua heard Di Feisheng mention her, she repeatedly refused, saying, "Don't look for me, I'm not going."
Why not just stay in the courtyard, bask in the sun, and read a book every day? Why make yourself work so hard?
"Come with me, and I'll show you something important to you. I was originally going to thank you, but things just happened to come together like this."
After witnessing Li Lianhua's investigation, Di Feisheng truly admired his intellect. With him around, they might be able to discover some details and find Nara Motianbing as soon as possible.
Although it's unclear whether Wu You's statement is true or false, since Li Lianhua also believes it, it must be true; Di Feisheng believes Li Lianhua.
Another issue is that I haven't made any progress in my internal energy cultivation method yet. Since this is a possible method, I should try it regardless of whether it's true or not.
Di Feisheng took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Li Lianhua.
"Let's not dwell on the past. Let me see what you mean by 'what's important to me.'"
Li Lianhua read the letter.
I love your wanderlust, but you only love the scenery along the way, unwilling to linger. Your heart is like your name, a lone blade, impossible to keep, and cannot be kept. Now we must part, severing my affections, I only hope you take care. Xiaolan.
"Eighteen years ago, He Xiaolan, the second young lady of Tianji Hall, had a brief affair with Shan Gudao. Although the two broke off their relationship, she was carrying a child."
"Several months later, Tianji Hall announced that she had died of illness. However, He Xiaohui, the head of Tianji Hall who had been infertile for many years, and Fang Zeshi, the Minister of Revenue, were blessed with a son. This child was named Fang Duobing."
"Fang Duobing is not Shan Gudao's nephew, but his son."
Li Lianhua had some suspicions after reading the letter, and now, after hearing Di Feisheng's words, she was finally certain.
“This…” Li Lianhua wanted to say something.
Suddenly, a person rushed in from around the corner, trying to snatch the letter from Li Lianhua's hand.
But he was facing Li Lianhua, and in this world, unless Li Lianhua was willing, no one else could take anything from him.
Li Lianhua gently raised her hand, and Fang Duobing, who rushed forward, missed his target.
"Li Lianhua, let me see, is what Afei just said true?"
"Fang Xiaobao, have you thought it through? Are you sure you really want to watch it?"
Li Lianhua didn't want to tell him this now, but since he already knows, she won't force him.
"I've made up my mind. If this is true, I also want to see my mother's handwritten letter."
Fang Duobing's eyes were slightly red, and he was somewhat agitated.
Li Lianhua handed the letter to Fang Duobing, poured him a cup of tea, and then slowly drank a cup herself.
This is huge news; I need to process it properly. I haven't heard a single thing about my senior brother; I really can't understand him anymore. No, or rather, I've never truly understood him at all.
Fang Duobing took the letter and read it carefully. After what Afei had just said, and now seeing this letter of heartbreak, he became even more convinced.
Wu You glanced at the two people beside him who were deep in thought, and then at Di Feisheng, who was calmly drinking tea. This guy probably didn't know that what he had just said had a huge impact on these two.
"Fang Duobing, since this is the truth, then accept it. Your parents are still your parents, and no one can change that fact."
Fang Duobing looked up at Wu You but didn't say anything.
"Li Lianhua, I have told you about this. Do you want to come with me or not?"
"Go ahead, because this matter is indeed important."
“I want to go too,” Fang Duobing said abruptly.
. . . . . .
What a leisurely life!
"Where are you going?"
"Wherever Li Lianhua goes, I will go. Besides, Yuanbao Manor is not far from Tianji Manor. I will go home and ask my father and mother, and tell them that I know about this."
"You're not going to Baichuan Academy anymore?"
"What are you going to do? Copying case files every day is so annoying. I'd rather go outside and find a case."
"Since you've made your decision, let's get up tomorrow. I need to go back and lie down for a while." Wu You yawned and stood up.
"Aren't you coming with us?" Fang Duobing asked in confusion.
"Why would I go? It's none of my business." Wu You had no such idea.
"A divine physician accompanied by two guards—three grown men in total—it doesn't seem like a good match. Do you think Yuanbao Manor will let us in?"
Fang Duobing nudged Li Lianhua under the table, trying to get him to speak up for him.
The main problem is that without Wu You around, we can only eat the food cooked by Li Lianhua. Sometimes, the new dishes he develops are quite challenging.
With Wu You around, someone would deliver three meals a day. Fang Duobing would say anything for a bite to eat.
Li Lianhua also wanted Wu You to go with her, so she said, "Why don't you go? Miss Qiao has left, and you're probably bored here by yourself. It would be good to go outside for a walk."
"Why don't you go too? Besides, I owe you a favor for what happened today. Please let me know if you ever need anything in the future."
Seeing the two trying to persuade him, Di Feisheng chimed in. He had no choice; when he needed something from them, he had to humble himself.
"Ah Fei said he was going to apologize to you, so there's no need. You all asked me to go, and now you're adding me too? It just makes things seem even stranger. Is Doctor Li short of a young apprentice?"
"No, no, no." Fang Duobing shook his head.
"If Doctor Li brings a young apprentice and his fiancée brings a bodyguard, wouldn't that be a perfect setup?"
Fang Duobing praised himself for his cleverness.
d(?д??)
Wu You was so shocked by these words that she took a step back: "What did you say? You're not mistaken, are you?"
"Of course not, what other options do you have?"
Fang Duobing asked Li Lianhua and Di Feisheng, "What do you think?"
Li Lianhua nodded: "That's fine too."
Di Feisheng nodded in agreement; as long as it got them there, it was a good method.
"Also, after we go to Yuanbao Manor, I'd like to invite you to visit my Tianji Manor. What do you say?"
Since everyone had said so, it would be unfair for Wu You to refuse again, so he nodded in agreement.
After all, I haven't unlocked my own map yet, and I still need to explore the map. Otherwise, there are only a few places I can go in the old house space.
Since they were leaving tomorrow, the group packed their things and moved into the Lotus Pavilion tonight.
Besides the four people, Nanfeng also insisted on coming along. Wu You had to persuade him a lot before Nanfeng finally agreed to go to Yuanbao Manor and wait for everyone in the Lotus Pavilion.
Nanfeng: Just kidding. I finally found my master, how could I not follow? If I were to lose him again, I might as well die. It's a pity Beiyi can't get back in time.
Bei Yi: Don't rush me. We're currently battling a huge sea wind at sea and it will take some time before we get back.

Lotus Tower Small Theater
Wu You: Li Lianhua, didn't you notice Fang Duobing hiding behind the door? How did you manage to let him find out?
Li Lianhua: I knew when Fang Duobing came, but I didn't expect Di Feisheng to be so quick to speak and have overheard him.
Fang Duobing: I never expected this, Wu You. Not only did the two of them team up and not tell me anything, but you also wanted to keep it from me.
Wu You: Ah, well... the ultimate way to deceive someone is to keep them completely unaware. Now that you know, it proves I didn't really mean to hide it from you, right?
Fang Duobing: (Somewhat disbelieving) Is that really true?
