Doctor Li reassured him, saying, "Let's take a few steps forward, call two porters when we reach the alley entrance, and it will be fine."

Doctor Li said, "Of course, I'm not a penny pincher. I still need to return early to tidy up the room."
Xiao Dong set the package down for Doctor Li to watch and ran toward the alley entrance. Before long, he came back around the corner, followed by a robust man.
Seeing the man was sturdy, wearing short, ready-to-fight attire with straw sandals made of hemp rope, Doctor Li was taken aback.
This was clearly a practitioner.
Doctor Li drew in a breath, contemplating how to refuse.
