Xiao Li faintly smiled and said: "It was just a misunderstanding, there's no need for Brother Li to take it seriously, right?"

However, Liszt sternly said, "How can we do that?" If the servants in the Martial Dueling Villa were so blind, then when word of this got out, no one would dare to laugh. Rules are rules, they absolutely cannot be condoned. "

Xiao Li smiled, "Your manor's conduct is indeed strict. However, I still want to ask Brother Li for this favor. Don't punish these four people excessively. After all, they are indeed following the rules."

Lisran suddenly gave Xiao Li a mysterious smile and said: "With Brother Xiao's eyesight, you won't be able to tell that these four people are deliberately making things difficult for you, right? They're not here for you. They're here to embarrass someone. "Hmph, these servants actually dared to ride on my head and act mighty. How could I forgive them so easily?" As he spoke, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

Xiao Li laughed out loud: "Since it is the matter of your family, then pretend that I did not say anything." Inwardly, he thought to himself: "It seems like there is no end to this fight in Martial Arts Villa!"

Lisran also revealed a smile and said, "Let's not talk about these unhappy things. Let's hurry up and go in so we can have a drink!" He then waved to the servant that brought Xiao Li and the other two in front of him, "Go down first. Later, go to the accounting office and collect fifty silver taels. Tell him that I said so." It was obvious that he was quite satisfied with his subordinate's performance. It was not easy to explain the whole story in such a concise manner, so he naturally wanted to reward the subordinate.

As for Xiao Li and the other two, they were led into the manor by Lisran. The security of the manor was even more tight, with three steps, one guard, five steps, and one sentry. Lisran led the three of them through the courtyard and into the courtyard on the left. When they entered, Xiao Li saw the words' Patrol 'written on a plaque. After passing through the entrance of the courtyard, there was another small courtyard.

Lisran walked into the courtyard and smiled at Xiao Li. "This is my residence. Brother Xiao must be joking about this simple and crude place."

Xiao Li glanced at the courtyard and saw that it was arranged in quite a simple manner. Aside from the trees, there were no other things, not even flowers or grass. Xiao Li laughed out loud, "Brother Li is in a high position, yet you can still act so plain and simple. That is truly not easy! This little brother is originally a country bumpkin, and does not know how to appreciate the scenery and style. Upon entering your residence, I feel extremely close to it, so how could I not find this place simple and crude! " At this moment, he was speaking from the bottom of his heart without the slightest bit of pretence.

Lisran laughed out loud and said, "It seems that we really do know ourselves. If we don't like that luxurious place, then we must do our best today. We can't be hypocritical!"

Xiao Li laughed, "Then I will sacrifice my life to accompany you!"

The living room was already filled to the brim with a table full of wine, with two maids standing beside the table. The four of them sat down in separate seats. Li Xiran raised her wine glass and said, "I, Li Jun, will drink three cups of wine for my earlier impoliteness. Consider this my apology to Brother Xiao." After saying that, he downed three cups of wine on his own.

Xiao Li smiled, "Brother Li is too polite. I have already punished those people before, and now you are here to apologize. Right, what's the use of the identity token Brother Li gave us previously? "

LisRan laughed out loud and said: "As long as Brother Xiao is in this Martial Dueling Villa's Mortal Level Plaza, you can do whatever you want with this identity plate. No one will interfere with it. Thus, in the future, there will definitely not be any more misunderstandings. This is the highest level VIP certificate that can be found in our villa's Mortal Level Places. "

Xiao Li was shocked, "Ah! Brother Li, you're going too far. I can't accept a VIP plate like that. " As he spoke, he was about to return the bronze medallion to Li Siran.

However, my status is not high, so I can only get you this identity plate. If you hand this identity plate back to me, then you will be looking down upon me, Brother Xiao, for what reason would you have to be unable to be friends with Great Hero Xiao? Could it be that Brother Xiao thinks that I, Li Si, am too despicable and unworthy of being your friend? If that's the case, then I have nothing to say. " He let go after saying that, his meaning was obvious. If you still want to return the identity token, then we are no longer friends.

Xiao Li laughed, "Brother Li's words are really unsettling. To be able to befriend brother Li, is already something that I can do. Alright, since Brother Li has already said this, then this Xiao shall accept this identity token. Come, this cup of wine is to thank you for treating them so generously. " As he spoke, he lifted up his wine cup.

Lisran laughed out loud and said, "I've already said before that there's no need to be polite today. It's like we're at home. Come, come, let's drink together. We won't return until we're drunk." After he finished speaking, he clinked cups with Xiao Li and the other two and drank with them.

Everyone was enjoying their meal. Xiao Li and the other two people were full of praise for the dishes in the Martial Competition Manor. It was obvious that even someone as picky as Old Zhao had nodded in agreement. The chefs in the manor were indeed outstanding.

Xiao Li and the other two left happily as the palanquin took them back to their quarters and they slept soundly. It seemed that they had drunk enough to last them a day.

When Xiao Li woke up, the sky was already dark. He got up and rinsed his mouth before coming out of his room and shaking his head as he looked at the brightly lit bamboo garden. With so many manors and buildings here, just the lighting alone would require quite a bit of money! The salary of the people in the villa was also a large sum of money. Back then, when I was in the pub, Lao Fa already carefully calculated this debt. Other than the expenses for manpower and resources, I could only earn a few dozen silvers per month. That was a good business deal. However, this Fighting Martial Villa is different. After spending so much money and material resources, they are still trying to earn more money every day. This is truly extraordinary! "

Xiao Li shook his head once again and headed towards the two people's room. He knocked on the door and asked, "Little monkey, Uncle Zhao, are you two awake yet?"

Old Zhao's voice came from inside, "Young master, you're awake!" Then, the door opened and Old Zhao's figure could be seen.

Xiao Li nodded, "I woke up. Where is the little monkey? Did you go out to play around again? "

Old Zhao smiled bitterly, "You also know that he can't stay idle for even a moment longer. You didn't lie down for long before you left, but it shouldn't be a problem. After all, he has his identity card with him, and he won't be at a disadvantage no matter where he goes. "

Xiao Li laughed, "This guy must have heard what Liszt said. It would be strange if he doesn't go out and have some fun after obtaining such an identity token." "Since that's the case, why don't we go out and have a look? We should also take a look at the atmosphere of this night at the Martial Competition Manor."

Old Zhao nodded, "Alright, I will go in and clean up. Young master, please wait for a while." She turned and went back into the house.

Xiao Li looked at Old Zhao's back and lamented the fickleness of the world. He still remembered when he and Old Zhao were mortal enemies at Lou Guanping's main altar. In fact, he had hurt Little Monkey to save her, but when they had entered the secret room, they had shared life and death with each other. Finally, a few of them had escaped.

Back then, he had risked using his inner force to trigger the life force in his body to temporarily suppress his injuries. After running away for a few days, he had used medicine to help guide his inner force to gradually stabilize his injuries. After a long period of careful treatment, his martial arts had finally recovered.

After his injury, Old Zhao did not leave to go back and complete the task, instead, he turned around and forced himself to be his master, willingly becoming an old servant who did not mention his name at all. He only said: Old Zhao was already dead, and Old Zhao is now just an old man saved by Young Master when he was in danger, so I willingly held the reins for Young Master.

Xiao Li knew that Old Zhao was a pitiful person whose body and mind was covered with scars. From the stories he told, he knew that Old Zhao was no longer able to endure the torture that he shouldn't have, so Xiao Li happily accepted Old Zhao. At the same time, he respectfully addressed him as Uncle Zhao and claimed that he was his martial uncle in front of outsiders.

Xiao Li knew that Old Zhao didn't want to continue reminiscing about the terrible things that had happened in the past. He only wanted to live a peaceful life and didn't intend to bring him out, but Old Zhao insisted on following Xiao Li out. The reason was simply because Old Zhao regarded him as an old servant of Xiao Li and had the responsibility to take care of Xiao Li. This old man had been so stubborn his entire life that Xiao Li couldn't change his mind and could only bring him along.

After all, he and Little Monkey were experienced people, and they were much more experienced than him. Many of the times, they had relied on the two of them to guide them safely through the journey to Liangzhou City.

However, Little Monkey had been at odds with Old Zhao when they were at the Earth Origin Stage. Along the way, the two of them would have to bicker and joke around. Luckily Old Zhao was no longer as domineering as before, otherwise, these two would probably fight until the sky went dark.

Little Monkey's gratitude towards Xiao Li could no longer be described with words, so he could ignore anyone's words. However, he would only listen to Xiao Li's words, and even though he would sometimes have to join in on the joke and joke around, his actions were unambiguous.

Back then, when Xiao Li came out, the little monkey had shamelessly followed him and couldn't even chase him away. The two of them stumbled along the way, but Xiao Li had always been the mediator. Otherwise, no matter how much Old Zhao tolerated him, the little monkey would most likely provoke him into a fight.

Xiao Li looked at Old Zhao's figure as he recalled these experiences. He felt a warm feeling in his heart, as though he had found a long-lost home.
