Charlatan Dao Rhyme

Faced with Li Qi's request, Zhong Minglou found himself in a difficult position.

This was no small matter.

Contacting his master would have been easy. If Li Qi had merely come to visit as usual, Zhong Minglou would certainly have agreed without hesitation.

But now, Li Qi had come with a matter to discuss, and it was probably no minor matter.

Bringing Li Qi over at a time like this was equivalent to using his status as a disciple to beg his master to help his friend.

That was also why Li Qi had come. After all, if he merely wanted to contact a Great Diviner, it was not as though he did not know Zhu Fengdan. He could simply have Zhu Fengdan give him a Great Diviner's contact information. There was no need to seek out Zhong Minglou.

Under abnormal circumstances, such as now, he would not care about saving face
