Chapter 136 Rumors Stop with the Wise
As Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing came out of Yulouchun's room, they heard the guests who had come to Manshanhong for a banquet boasting. They were boasting so much that it was as if the sky would turn black from their boasting.
"Have you heard about the Four-Sided Tea Party since you came up from the foot of the mountain?"
"It's all over the martial arts world. Sigh, I never expected Li Xiangyi to be this kind of person."
"Alas, I knew it all along. I was there when it happened. I happened to be passing by that day and intended to save Shan Gudao, but after a hundred moves, I made a slight lapse and Li Xiangyi still took Shan Gudao's life."
"Then why did he let you go?"
"Hmm... I saved Li Xiangyi's life before, otherwise he wouldn't have killed him with me."
"Pshaw, what are you talking about? This is the real thing."
"Oh, what's going on with you? Tell me about it."
“Let me tell you, my friend’s brother, the younger brother of his cousin’s wife, used to be a member of the Si Gu Men. He was clever and quick-witted, and his martial arts skills were also quite good, so he was assigned to take care of Li Xiangyi personally.”
"I didn't know you had such a connection with the Si Gu Sect. What happened next?"
"Later, I heard from my friend's brother, the younger brother of his maternal uncle's cousin's wife..."
"Stop, get to the point."
"Here comes the key point: my... friend from the Four Gates was often by Li Xiangyi and Shan Gudao's side, so much so that I often saw Shan Gudao looking at Li Xiangyi's back after Li Xiangyi left first, as if he had been poisoned, sinister and terrifying."
"So that's true after all. What happens next?"
"Later, my friend from Sigumen was discovered by Shan Gudao to be looking at Li Xiangyi's back, and was even threatened by Shan Gudao. My friend from Sigumen was naturally not afraid, and turned around and told Li Xiangyi about it."
"And then? Shan Gu Dao didn't retaliate against him, did he?"
"Then my friend remained safe and sound, and Shan Gu Dao didn't cause him any trouble. My friend from Si Gu Men also thought the matter was over. But unexpectedly..."
"What did you not think of? Tell me quickly."
"Unexpectedly, half a month later, when my friend Sigumen's older sister went to the temple to pray for her unborn child, the horse suddenly spooked without any reason or warning. Fortunately, it was a close call and both the mother and child were safe and sound."
"Everyone says that Mr. Yu only invites extraordinary people, but I never expected that this 'Master Dongfang' was invited because he's exceptionally good at spouting nonsense. Also, Young Master Li, don't spread rumors without knowing the truth. Haven't you heard the saying 'Don't believe or spread rumors'?"
Fang Duobing couldn't stand it anymore, so he appeared in front of everyone and started to argue.
"Hey, what do you mean, Fang?"
Being publicly humiliated, those present naturally looked displeased.
"That's what my friend from Sigumen said, how is it just making a fuss over nothing?"
"No, let's have a match."
"Let's compete, who's afraid of you?"
Fang Duobing's temper flared up, and he stopped indulging others.
"Xiao Bao, don't be impulsive, what's the rush? Perhaps this Brother Dongfang really did save Li Xiangyi's life."
What are you saying?
Fang Duobing looked at Li Lianhua in disbelief.
Li Lianhua gave him a reassuring look.
"May I ask, Brother Dongfang, did Li Xiangyi have any enemies he couldn't defeat when he was young?"
"Yes, I have."
With everyone watching, Dongfang Hao had no choice but to bite the bullet and say yes.
"Oh, perhaps it's like this. When this enemy forced Li Xiangyi to kneel and beg for mercy, this Brother Dongfang saw injustice and drew his sword to help. He rushed to kowtow eighteen times on Li Xiangyi's behalf, and in the end, he saved Li Xiangyi's life."
"Li Lianhua, you two are ganging up on me, aren't you?"
Dongfang Hao was furious when someone attacked him face-to-face.
"Don't dare."
"Brother Dongfang, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously."
"Furthermore, I was unaware that Li Xiangyi had a personal attendant. The person who stayed by his side the most was probably the squad leader. There's no such thing as a personal attendant."
"Dr. Li, the one my friend from Sigumen mentioned, I naturally know more about him. Do you understand Li Xiangyi better than I do?"
"Okay, I don't understand. Rumors stop with the wise, and I hope everyone will not be the fool."
