Wandering among the heavens, learning has no end.

Meanwhile, some members of the Feng Huo Tang were guarding the entrance of the inn. When they saw Ji Yuan and Su Xiaoyong's carriage come out, they looked inside carefully but did not find Li Lianhua, so they did not pay any attention to it.

Their target has always been Li Lianhua.

Not long after Su Xiaoyong drove the carriage away from the inn, Ji Yuan descended from the sky, landed next to Su Xiaoyong, and took over the driver's seat.

……

Over at the Lotus Pavilion.

The master thief, Empty-Handed, asked curiously, "Li Lianhua, where did this junior brother of yours come from?"

Is it strange that I have a junior brother?

Li Lianhua said calmly.

"It's not surprising, but it is a bit strange that someone like you who has no martial arts skills has a junior brother who is so skilled in martial arts."

The master thief, Empty Hands, shook his head and said.

When Ji Yuan pulled him out of the coffin, he felt completely powerless to resist.

And then there's this light-foot skill, wow, it's like flying, and the speed is incredibly fast.

And this was with two people in tow.

"Who decided that if a junior brother is skilled in martial arts, the senior brother must also know martial arts?"

Li Lianhua waved her hand.

"Isn't that ridiculous? Aren't you from the same lineage?"

"Is it possible that your master was skilled in both medicine and martial arts, with him learning martial arts and you learning medicine?"

The master thief, Empty Hands, shook his head and said...

"Hey, you're right, that's exactly it."

Li Lianhua nodded with a smile.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that. By the way, why did it take you so long to wake me up?"

The master thief, now completely oblivious to Ji Yuan's situation, has stopped worrying about her.

……

the other side.

Ji Yuan and Su Xiaoyong's carriage was faster than Lotus Pavilion's, and soon they caught up with Lotus Pavilion, then slowed down to keep up with Lotus Pavilion's speed.

When the master thief saw Ji Yuan and Su Xiaoyong's carriage, he was somewhat convinced that Ji Yuan might really be Li Lianhua's junior brother.

After all, the carriages were all so unique, only Ji Yuan's was a bit smaller.

……

Inn.

Fang Duobing was, after all, a martial artist, and it wasn't long before the effects of the sleeping potion wore off. He suddenly raised his head, but it was clear that his expression was still somewhat dazed.

Just then, the manager of Feng Huo Tang led his men in.

Where is Li Lianhua?!

Upon hearing this name, Fang Duobing immediately stood up.

The manager of Feng Huo Tang stormed up to Fang Duobing and said, "My men have just found out that this guy and the master thief Miao Shou Kong Kong have known each other for a long time!"

They're all in cahoots! They deliberately lured us here to find Li Lianhua!

The manager of Feng Huo Tang finished speaking in a menacing manner.

One of his men rushed in: "Boss, something bad has happened! The person in the coffin is gone!"

"Great! Great! It's really come back to life, isn't it!"

The manager of Feng Huo Tang was so angry he was in a bind.

The next second, he glared at Fang Duobing: "Kid, what did you say before? If you live, you'll take that Li Lianhua's surname, right?"

Hmph! We, the Wind and Fire Hall, will definitely seek an explanation from the Hundred Rivers Academy regarding this matter!

"Let's go after them!"

The people from Feng Huo Tang said this, and then left in a menacing manner.

Fang Duobing was, after all, a member of Baichuan Academy, so they wouldn't dare do anything to him, but they would definitely still have to write a 'complaint letter'.

The people from Feng Huo Tang left in a huff.

Fang Duobing was also somewhat angry: "Li Lianhua, Li Xiaoyao!"

……

After Ji Yuan and his three companions had walked a distance, they stopped in a field.

The four people got off the carriage.

Su Xiaoyong asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Li Lianhua explained, "I owed him a favor, so I helped him out."

As she spoke, Li Lianhua looked at the master thief Miaoshoukong and said, "The favor I owe you is settled."

The master thief nodded: "Cleared, cleared."

Perhaps they were afraid of being misunderstood as doing something wrong.

The master thief, Empty Hands, added, "This Wind and Fire Hall isn't any good either. They started as bandits and borrowed the Shi family's secret techniques five years ago."

You can understand what I mean by "borrowed," right? It was stolen.

The secret manual was stolen and instantly became the most prized possession of their Wind and Fire Hall.

The Shi family had no choice; unable to retrieve the secret, they had no choice but to ask me to steal it.

"Is Baichuanyuan not going to handle this matter?"

Su Xiaoyong asked.

The master thief waved his hand and said, "How can we manage it? They borrowed it. If Baichuan Academy intervenes, they can return it. But can't they borrow it again?"

It's impossible for Baichuan Academy to keep people guarding the Shi family indefinitely.

This martial world, even with the Hundred Rivers Academy, still has plenty of messy and chaotic things going on.

"Alright, stop talking, where are my things?"

Li Lianhua looked at the master thief, Miao Shoukong, and said...

"Don't worry, don't forget."

As the master thief spoke, he took out a book and a money bag and handed them to Li Lianhua.

Li Lianhua took the book, then took out five taels of silver from her purse, and tossed the rest to the master thief, Miao Shoukong.

"You're such a strange person. If I offered you half the silver, you wouldn't take it. You only wanted the recipe and five taels of silver."

"You're not stingy, but I owed you a few coins, and you've held onto that for years, demanding money back every time we meet."

"Alright, are you leaving or not?"

Those who didn't leave the Wind and Fire Hall must be brought back.

Li Lianhua shook her head and said.

"You're such a mysterious person."

By the way, are you looking for someone from the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance?

The master thief, empty-handed, asked with his arms crossed.

Li Lianhua's eyes immediately changed.

"Don't misunderstand, it's just a professional habit, a moment of curiosity. Alright, I should go now. Here's a message for you: in Jiaozhou, at the Lingshan Sect, you might find the person you're looking for."

After saying this, the master thief clasped his hands in a fist salute, turned around, and left.

Li Lianhua noted down the location.

Then he looked at Ji Yuan and Su Xiaoyong: "Junior brother, I need to go to Jiaozhou."

"Yes, we'll go with you. I still need to detoxify you."

Ji Yuan nodded and said.

"Ah."

Li Lianhua smiled and nodded.

"Senior brother, is that recipe something very important?"

Su Xiaoyong looked curiously at the recipe in Li Lianhua's hand and asked.

"Yes, this recipe belongs to my master. I don't know how it ended up in the hands of Feng Huo Tang."

Just then, the master thief, Empty Hands, was about to steal something from the Wind and Fire Hall, so he stole it all at once.

"Alright, let's go, let's go far away so the people from the Wind and Fire Hall don't catch up."

Li Lianhua nodded.

"it is good."

As they talked, the three continued driving the carriage towards Jiaozhou City.

……

Inn.

Fang Duobing has recovered and is determined to capture Li Lianhua and Li Xiaoyao.

He never expected that he would suffer such a huge loss so soon after entering the martial arts world.

Soon, he heard another piece of bad news.

All the banknotes he brought with him this time are now unusable.

Generally speaking, this situation will not occur.

However, Tianji Manor has a lot of influence, not to mention that his father is an official in the imperial court, so its strength is even greater.

They easily invalidated the silver notes that Fang Duobing had brought.
