The waiter thought for a moment and said, "There is one strange thing. Our Jade City has been haunted recently, and this is the worst place. Sir, you'd better be careful."

"Oh?" Li Xiangyi's heart moved, "Haunted?"

Li Xiangyi nodded and said, "Thank you very much."

Just then, there was a commotion at the door of the inn. Li Xiangyi looked up and saw Fang Duobing, Wangfu and Ali walking in.

"Waiter, give us three upper rooms!" Fang Duobing said loudly.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." The waiter responded and turned to get the key.

Li Xiangyi looked at Fang Duobing, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He didn't expect to meet him here. He wanted to go up and say hello, but then he thought better of it, so as not to cause any trouble.

Fang Duobing also saw Li Xiangyi. He was shocked. He didn't expect that Li Lianhua was here too!

He recalled the word "Yucheng" he had seen in the letter before, and when he thought about the rumors about Li Lianhua, a miracle doctor, he immediately became suspicious. Could Li Lianhua really be the medicine master of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance?

Fang Duobing calmly walked over to Li Xiangyi's table, sat down, and said, "Li Lianhua, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here."

Li Xiangyi smiled and said, "Yes, what a coincidence."

"What is Li Lianhua doing here?" Fang Duobing asked tentatively.

"I'm here to do something." Li Xiangyi said.

"Oh? What's the matter? Maybe I can help." Fang Duobing said.

"No need, it's just a small matter." Li Xiangyi said.

Seeing that Li Xiangyi refused to speak, Fang Duobing became even more suspicious.

He turned around and winked at Wangfu, who understood, quietly stood up and walked upstairs.

"Li Lianhua, your wine is good. Can you pour me a glass?" Fang Duobing picked up Li Xiangyi's wine pot and said.

"Of course." Li Xiangyi said, picked up an empty glass and poured a glass of wine for Fang Duobing.

Fang Duobing took the wine glass, drank it all, and then said: "Li Lianhua, I toast you a glass."

"Please." Li Xiangyi also picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Fang Duobing, and then took a sip.

The two of them drank one cup after another. Ali stood aside, watching them, feeling a little confused.

He always felt that Fang Duobing was a little strange today, as if he was hiding something from him.

Wangfu went to the second floor and found Li Xiangyi's room.

He gently opened the door and walked in. The room was empty, with only a bed, a table, and a few chairs.

Wangfu walked to the table and saw a bundle on it. He opened the bundle and found some clothes and silver inside, nothing special.

Wangfu was about to look elsewhere when he heard a faint laugh behind him. He turned around and saw a woman in a light pink dress standing by the bed, looking at him with a smile.

"Mrs. Li, why...why are you here too?" Wangfu was startled and asked stutteringly with an embarrassed look on his face.

Qiao Wanwan covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled softly, saying, "I heard some noise over here, so I came over to check it out. What are you doing?"

Wangfu scratched his head and said, "I...I'm here on the orders of the young master to check Li...Li Lianhua's room."

"Oh? Check our room?" Qiao Wanwan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why do you want to check my room?"

"This..." Wangfu hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

At this time, in the lobby of the inn, several people from the martial arts world were sitting around a table, talking and discussing.

"Hey, have you heard? There's been unrest in Yucheng recently!" A man in coarse linen clothes said in a low voice with a hint of mystery on his face.

"Oh? What's wrong with it?" A young man in brocade clothes next to him asked curiously, with a gossipy gleam in his eyes.

"I'm telling you, Jade City has been haunted lately!" the hemp-clothed man said mysteriously, "especially the Xiaomian Inn. I heard it's the worst!"

"Haunted?" A Taoist priest in a robe frowned and said, "There are no ghosts in this world. They are just some tricks to pretend to be ghosts."

"Master, you're wrong," the man in sackcloth clothes retorted. "I saw it with my own eyes. The ghostly figure was floating around. It was terrifying!"

"Hmph, it's just some trickery." The Taoist said disdainfully, "I'm going to meet that so-called 'ghost' right now!"

"Hey, Taoist priest, please don't be impulsive!" The man in sackcloth clothes quickly tried to dissuade him. "That ghost is very powerful!"

"Hmph, you dare to show off your trivial skills in front of me!" The Taoist snorted coldly, stood up and walked upstairs.

"Hey, this Taoist priest, why is he so unwilling to listen to advice!" The man in hemp clothes shook his head and sighed.

"Besides the haunting, there is another thing!" A servant in green clothes interrupted with a hint of excitement on his face.

"What's the matter?" the young man in brocade clothes asked hurriedly.

"The second daughter of the Lord of Jade City, Yu Qiushuang, ran away from home a few days ago!" said the young servant in green. "I heard she hasn't been found yet!"

"Miss Yu Er ran away from home?" The young man in brocade clothes said in surprise, "This is big news! Why did she run away from home?"

"I don't know about that." The young servant in green shook his head and said, "But I heard that Miss Yu had a big argument with the City Lord and then left in anger."

"Miss Yu Er is also a hot-tempered person!" exclaimed the man in hemp clothes.

Li Xiangyi sat in a corner, listening to everyone's conversation, thinking to himself. There's been quite a lot going on in Yucheng lately! There's a haunting, and the second young lady ran away from home. It seems like he's bound to get into this mess.

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew up outside the inn, and heavy rain poured down. The inn, which was already a little dim, suddenly became even more eerie and terrifying.

"This damn weather changes so suddenly!" complained the man in sackcloth clothes and got up to close the window.

Suddenly, the door of the inn creaked open and a woman wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat walked in.

The woman was tall, and although her face could not be seen clearly, a hideous scar could be vaguely seen from the half of her face that was exposed.

"Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?" the waiter came forward and greeted him.

The woman didn't say anything, but slowly took off the hat on her head.

"Ah!" The waiter exclaimed, took a few steps back, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

There was a long scar on the woman's face that extended from her forehead to her chin, almost dividing her face into two, which looked very scary.

"Second Miss!" Several guards in armor suddenly rushed in, knelt on one knee in front of the woman, and spoke respectfully.

"Second Miss?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
