How did he know?
Room No. 3, Tianzi.
Duan Tianya looked on incredulously and asked Zhu Wushi, who was standing beside him, "Godfather, was Haitang's original surname Hai?"
Zhu Wushi nodded solemnly.
"That was more than ten years ago. Apart from Haitang and me, no one else knows this name."
Having received confirmation, Duan Tianya hurriedly pushed open the door and went out.
"Mr. Li, what exactly did you mean by 'beautiful women die young' just now?"
Li Chengqian glanced at Duan Tianya, put down his teacup, and said calmly, "The literal meaning."
"Is there any way to deal with this?"
"No, this calamity cannot be overcome; we can only avoid it."
"How to hide?"
"If I don't set foot in the martial arts world for the next ten years, I can survive."
Duan Tianya wanted to ask more, but Li Chengqian waved his hand, unwilling to say more.
"I've said enough about this matter. The decision to stay or leave Ping An Inn is voluntary. It's not up to me, but up to her."
Seeing Mr. Li's expression, Duan Tianya knew that continuing to press him would be pointless.
Duan Tianya turned and went back to his room. He was going to beg his godfather to let Haitang stay there, as Haitang always listened to her godfather.
In his heart, Haitang was like a younger sister, and he would never let anything happen to her.
After hearing such explosive gossip, the inn was immediately filled with discussion.
"Holy crap, the Lord of Shangguan Manor is actually a woman?"
"Tsk tsk!"
"I never would have guessed that before."
"Let's put these minor issues aside for now. I'm more concerned about Shangguan Haitang's death."
"The master of the number one manor in the world, the number one secret agent of the Dragon Guard Manor, and his martial arts are so good."
"How many people in the world can kill her, dare to kill her?"
Seeing the puzzled looks from his companions, one of the men waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it."
“If you can figure this out, you’ll be Mr. Li. Let me ask you a small question.”
Have you ever dreamed about Master Shangguan?
He blushed at this.
"Cough cough!"
"How could you ask such an absurd question? At that time, Master Shangguan was disguised as a man."
"We are all upright men, how could we dream of a man?"
Shangguan Haitang: ""
Could you please turn the volume down? I can hear you.
Your message has interrupted my mood!
Should I be happy or unhappy?
Once the crowd below had quieted down, Li Chengqian put down his teacup and began speaking again.
"The fourth place in the second tier of the Ming Dynasty Rouge Ranking is Murong Qiudi."
Hearing this name, the people of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts world were somewhat surprised.
It's a bit inappropriate that Xie Xiaofeng's fiancée is on the list.
Although Murong Qiudi came from a good family, in terms of martial arts and ability, she was ultimately inferior to Shangguan Haitang.
Why is she ranked ahead of Shangguan Haitang?
Ignoring the doubts of the crowd, Li Chengqian continued, "Murong Qiudi comes from Qixingtang, one of the four great families in the martial arts world."
"Considering Miss Murong's special circumstances, we will not comment on her."
"After comprehensive consideration, she is placed fourth on the list of rouges in the Ming Dynasty."
After Li Chengqian finished his comments, the inn erupted in an uproar.
This has never happened before at Ping An Inn! Some people who "came prepared" have also started to cause trouble here.
"Humph!"
"What kind of 'Peaceful Sword Immortal' is he? I think he's just a fame-seeker."
"This so-called 'Ming Dynasty Rouge Ranking' is utter nonsense. How dare you presume to comment on the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty?"
Everyone turned to look and saw a man in hemp clothing leaning against a pillar in the inn.
This person was tall and slender, with narrow eyes and a dismissive expression on his face.
Li Chengqian glanced calmly at the person below, while simultaneously pondering the other's identity.
In this situation, a nobody like him naturally wouldn't dare to say much, as he was acting under orders.
After a moment, Li Chengqian smiled calmly.
"Who do we have here? It's Qinghai Yixiao."
(A minor character in *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer* who perished alongside Daoist Tianmen, and a lackey of Zuo Lengchan.)
Upon hearing the name "Qinghai Yixiao," everyone in the Ming Dynasty's martial arts world frowned, for this man was a notorious scoundrel.
Why is he here?
"What, am I not allowed to come? Are the rules of Ping An Inn just empty words?"
Qinghai Yixiao became even more arrogant, and two powerful pressures instantly emanated from Room 1 and Room 2.
Besides him, countless other experts have also targeted him.
Faced with this situation, Qinghai Yixiao was also a little flustered, but thinking of his mission, he forced himself to remain calm and said, "Ouch!"
"Is this a case of murder born of rage and shame?"
"Then come on, I can't beat you anyway."
"Even if you kill me, I will not accept it."
"Hehehe!"
Li Chengqian chuckled softly, "Everyone, calm down. We can't make a move at Ping An Inn."
"Qinghai Yixiao, I know very well who is instructing me."
"I know what your purpose is, but you can just insult me, why do you have to insult the Ming Dynasty Rouge Ranking?"
"If you do that, they'll start fighting over you."
Chapter 202 How dare you slander Li Chengqian? Zuo Lengchan's lackey!
In response to Li Chengqian's words, Qinghai Yixiao scoffed, "Ha!"
"Stop trying to be mysterious. What I said is reasonable and well-founded. What right do they have to kill me?"
"Unless they were acting on your orders, I think you're just a gigolo who only knows how to live off women!"
brush!
A red figure flashed, and the door to room number two in the "Heavenly" section opened.
However, the figure was stopped by a glance; Li Chengqian looked at Dongfang Bubai with a smile.
Dongfang Bubai's face was now so dark it was almost dripping with water.
"If it's inconvenient for you to do it, then let me do it."
"Master Dongfang, why bother fighting with such a pathetic nobody?"
"Why break the rules of my Ping An Inn for the sake of such a person?"
Looking at Li Chengqian's smile, Dongfang Bubai really wanted to go up and tear him to pieces.
I stood up for him, and he actually tried to fight me! I'm so angry!
Dongfang Bubai turned around angrily, and the door to the room was smashed with a loud bang.
Everyone: Tsk tsk!
Mr. Li is indeed a man of principle; he doesn't even give face to his wife.
We admire what you did, but I'm afraid you won't have a good night!
After "persuading" Dongfang Bubai to leave, Li Chengqian looked at Qinghai Yixiao with a smile.
"To be honest, I really admire your courage. How dare you say such a thing?"
"Do you know how many people you insulted with that one sentence? If it weren't for Ping An Inn protecting you, you would be minced meat by now."
"I can't be bothered to say anything more about a dead person. Didn't you question Murong Qiudi's ranking?"
"No problem, I'll give you my reasons right now."
Li Chengqian unfolded his folding fan and coldly stared at Qinghai Yixiao.
Li Chengqian was naturally unhappy to be insulted like that.
The reason why I repeatedly stopped Dongfang Bubai from making a move was not because of any bullshit rules.
Ping An Inn is all about rules. Do I need to care about other people's opinions?
The greatest fear is not death itself, but the process of waiting for death.
"Heaven and earth are heartless, ghosts and gods are blind. All things are powerless, the common people are ignorant. Life and death are unpredictable, fortune and misfortune have no gate. In the dark and mysterious world, I alone am supreme."
"You should have heard of this slogan."
"A mysterious organization that has emerged in the martial arts world in the last decade, some say that the Heavenly Venerable is more powerful than the Azure Dragon Society."
