The Cold Door Hero

Summary

Lao Gao had matters to attend to, so there were only two updates that day. Upon arriving at the shop, Li Yan Qing was warmly greeted by Shopkeeper Wu, who praised him for his reputation. Li Yan Qing noticed the shop was filled with women and appreciated Shopkeeper Wu's diplomatic way of complimenting them. As he reassured the shopkeeper he wouldn’t interfere with shop affairs, he was joyfully interrupted by his friends Wang Gui, Tang Huai, and Yue Fei, who had spotted him. They embraced and discussed dinner plans, with Yue Fei suggesting pastries. The group headed to a tavern near the Royal Street, where they planned to enjoy a football match. Tang Huai was eager to watch, while Wang Gui expressed his disdain due to a recent loss of his favored team. This led to some playful banter, and the friends ordered food and drinks. Tang Huai was concerned when he learned the match was postponed due to a player’s illness after a recent fight. They discussed their mutual acquaintance Niu Gao, who was unable to join them that night. As the conversation shifted to Tang Huai’s uncle wanting to open a branch of Baoyan Zhai in Anyang, Li Yan Qing agreed to the proposal. The friends then encouraged Li Yan Qing to share stories from his trip to Jiangnan, where he mentioned encountering a formidable martial artist, sparking their curiosity for more details.
