I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

Fang Duobing enthusiastically took Li Xiangyi's arm and said sincerely, "Brother Li, it's getting late today. Why don't you stay here? I'll take you out of the city tomorrow morning. How about that?"

Li Xiangyi's face showed an awkward expression. He gently broke free from Fang Duobing's hand and said, "I appreciate your kindness, little brother. But I'm short of money, and I'm afraid..."

Fang Duobing smiled heartily, patted his chest, and said proudly, "How difficult is this? Brother Li, please stay here. All expenses will be covered by me! We hit it off right away. Why worry about these trivial matters?"

Li Xiangyi looked at Fang Duobing with feigned hesitation, seemingly moved by his enthusiasm. Finally, he sighed softly and said, "Since you are so generous, I will respectfully obey your command."

Seeing Li Xiangyi's agreement, Fang Duobing smiled with joy. He patted Li Xiangyi's shoulder affectionately and said, "That's right! Come, Brother Li, I'll take you to the guest room!"

As the night deepened, an oil lamp cast a dim glow in the guest room. Li Xiangyi and Fang Duobing sat opposite each other, with a pot of tea and two teacups on the table.

Li Xiangyi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I would like to thank Mr. Fang for your help today. Otherwise, I would have been unable to escape."

Fang Duobing waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's just a small favor, nothing to worry about. But, Brother Li, there's one thing I don't understand. How did you know my last name is Fang?" He stared at Li Xiangyi closely with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Li Xiangyi put down his teacup, his eyes deep as he spoke slowly, "Young Master Fang's sword jade tassel is a rare and beautiful jade, so beautiful that it was bought by Tianji Hall. Moreover, Young Master Fang has an extraordinary demeanor and a sense of nobility in his conversation. He must be from a famous family. In the world today, who else can have such a noble Fang family besides the current Shangshu Mansion?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Fang Duobing's eyes. He didn't expect that Li Xiangyi was so observant that he could infer his identity based on just a jade pendant and a few words.

Li Xiangyi continued, "Moreover, Young Master Fang is already the Young Master of Tianji Hall at such a young age. This shows that he is extremely intelligent and has great martial arts skills."

Fang Duobing laughed heartily and said, "Brother Li is truly knowledgeable. I admire you! But who is Brother Li? How could he cause such a big fight in Fenghuo Hall?"

Li Xiangyi smiled mysteriously and said, "Me? I'm just a wandering doctor, not worth mentioning."

Late at night, in the quiet of the guest room, Fang Duobing was sleeping beside the table. The teacup in his hand slipped to the ground with a crisp sound.

Li Xiangyi stood aside, watching the comatose Fang Duobing with a hint of mockery on his face. He shook his head gently and muttered to himself, "The detectives at Baichuan Court are getting worse and worse, trusting others so easily. The world is treacherous and people's hearts are unpredictable. You have to be more careful."

He walked over to Fang Duobing, stretched out his fingers, gently pressed several of his acupuncture points, and then said, "Young Master Fang, you are thoughtful and thoughtful, but unfortunately you are still a little naive. In the martial arts world, the most taboo is to trust others easily. Let what happened today be a lesson for you."

After saying this, Li Xiangyi turned and left, his figure disappearing into the night.

The backyard of the inn was eerie and silent. A pitch-black coffin sat in a corner, appearing eerie in the moonlight.

Li Xiangyi came to the coffin quietly. He was agile and his movements were light, without making a sound.

He walked over to one of the coffins and knocked gently on the lid.

"Knock, knock, knock." Three soft sounds, like some kind of secret code.

Li Xiangyi took a deep breath and suddenly opened the coffin. Inside the coffin lay a pale young man, who was none other than Miaoshou Kongkong.

Li Xiangyi quickly pressed a few acupuncture points on Miaoshoukongkong's body, his technique precise and swift. A moment later, Miaoshoukongkong suddenly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

"Ahem...Mr. Li, you are too slow! If you don't come soon, I will really die!" Miao Shoukongkong said weakly, his voice hoarse.

"Don't talk, just go!" Li Xiangyi said in a low voice, his tone hurried.

The two men quickly left the coffin, Li Xiangyi in front and Miao Shoukongkong following closely behind, disappearing silently into the night.

However, their whereabouts were discovered.

"Stop!" An angry roar came from behind, and several people from Fenghuotang chased out of the inn with torches in their hands.

Li Xiangyi and Miaoshoukongkong exchanged a glance, their eyes devoid of panic. They had already anticipated this disaster.

The two of them quickly ran towards the cliff outside the inn. At the foot of the cliff, two horses were quietly waiting. This was what Li Xiangyi had prepared long ago.

"Huahua, you are really thoughtful!" Miaoshoukongkong praised, with a tone of relief at surviving a disaster.

"Stop talking nonsense and let's go!" Li Xiangyi shouted in a low voice. He grabbed Miaoshou Kongkong's collar, jumped up, and used his lightness skills to fly him down the cliff.

The wind whistled in their ears, and the two figures were like two big birds, drawing a graceful arc in the air.

"Whoa--" The two horses neighed loudly and caught Li Xiangyi and Miao Shoukongkong steadily.

The two men jumped on the horses, squeezed their legs against the horses' bellies, and the horses immediately broke into a gallop, galloping away into the distance.

The people from Fenghuotang chased them to the edge of the cliff, only to see their backs getting farther and farther away until they finally disappeared into the vast night.

"Chase!" Zhang Biao roared angrily, but there was nothing he could do.

In the night wind, only the sound of horse hooves and the roars of the people in Fenghuo Hall echoed in the valley.

Li Xiangyi and Miaoshoukongkong galloped for a while, finally leaving the Fenghuotang people far behind. They found a secluded place, dismounted, and rested for a while.

Li Xiangyi tied the horse's reins to a tree, took out a piece of dry food from his pocket, and handed it to Miaoshoukongkong: "Eat something. You must be hungry after such a long journey."

Miaoshoukongkong took the dry food and began to eat it ravenously, mumbling, "Huahua, this time it's really thanks to you, otherwise I would have lost my life in Fenghuotang."

Li Xiangyi smiled faintly: "There's no need for such polite words between you and me. This time I'm helping you, and it can be regarded as repaying the favor you helped Luo Luo before. Now we are even."

Miaoshoukongkong swallowed the last of his dry food, wiped his mouth, and said, "That being said, I still have to thank you. Those people from Fenghuotang are not easy to deal with."

"They originally started out as bandits, committing all sorts of evil, including murder, looting, and robbing. Although they've cleaned themselves up over the years, they're still the same people at heart. This time, they came to me because they wanted me to help them steal it back."

Li Xiangyi seemed to be thinking: "I see. It seems that Fenghuotang really has a lot of secrets."

Miaoshoukongkong yawned. "Who says it's not? But none of this has anything to do with me now. I just want to have a good sleep and then continue my carefree life."

Li Xiangyi interrupted him, his tone suddenly becoming serious: "Where is the thing I want?"
