After hearing Lei Xiao's explanation, Xiao Li could only bitterly smile and say, "It doesn't matter. You just have to eat your fill. No one will care about you anyway."

Not long after, the servant brought him another large basket of steamed buns. In the end, Xiao Li could only sigh and watch from the side as Lei Xiaoxiao swept away the remaining remnants of the steamed buns.

After Lei Xiaoxiao finished eating, he called out to Xiao Li, "Brother Xiao, take your time to eat. I'll go sleep a little longer." With that, he left on his own accord.

Looking at the broken spoon on the table, Xiao Li could only silently move forward to tidy it up. If not, others would think that there was a fight here.

At this moment, the two of them got up and rinsed their mouths. Seeing Xiao Li, the little monkey chuckled, "Young master, you woke up so early!"

Xiao Li slightly nodded his head and said, "Hmm, you brat, it was quite easy to find you yesterday. Uncle Zhao and I were about to overturn the entire Martial Arts Villa. Hurry up and put that mischievous smile of yours away, then tell me why you went out so late at night. "

The little monkey said with a bitter face, "Young Master, what else can I do? I just went out to wander around for a bit."

Xiao Li sneered, "Would I believe your words?"

Hearing this, the little monkey laughed and said, "Young master, I've accomplished a great deed today. You must thank me for that."

Xiao Li waved his hand and said, "Scram! It's good that you didn't cause any trouble for me. You still have the nerve to come and claim credit for yourself. "Stop shoveling for me, hurry up and tell me what you did yesterday."

The little monkey laughed and said, "Nope, I really went to do something for you yesterday."

Xiao Li frowned and said indifferently, "Looks like you brat are itchy? He must have been dishonest for not getting beaten up for three days. "Then I'll let you relax today."

When the little monkey saw Xiao Li's appearance, it immediately became obedient and hurriedly said, "Don't be like this, can I tell you something? This is not like hanging out on someone else's territory. I had to go out and find out what was wrong with someone, so I decided to slip away on my own. "

Xiao Li calmly looked at the little monkey and did not interrupt. It was obvious that he wanted the little monkey to continue.

When the little monkey saw Xiao Li's expression, it immediately surrendered and said, "Yesterday night, I took out my identity token and went to show off. I wanted to see if there are people secretly watching us in Martial Competition Manor."

When Xiao Li heard this, he asked, "What was the result?"

The little monkey said, "The result is not too good. Although I have vaguely found some traces of people, they seem to be old experts in this field. Their whereabouts are very hidden, and in a place that they are familiar with, it is impossible for me to find them all. I was thinking that since we were living in someone else's territory, it would be reasonable for them to monitor our movements, so I didn't go and disturb them. I just did something to make them angry. " At this point, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xiao Li frowned slightly as he asked, "Kid, what have you done to me?"

The little monkey laughed and said, "I openly accepted bribes from the shopkeepers under the banner of Lisan. Haha, those guys who were hiding in the dark were really angry. They almost rushed out to beat me up, which made their whereabouts even more exposed."

Xiao Li couldn't help but smile bitterly as he heard this. "You're really ruthless!" "It seems like this Li Si Ran will definitely come here today to settle his debts."

However, the little monkey mysteriously smiled and said, "I don't think so. Young Master, do you really think that the people in the Warrior's Villa are so united? Is everyone really as friendly as they seem on the surface?"

Xiao Li couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by that?" And then, he lowered his head and began to ponder.

The little monkey laughed, "Do you still remember when we went to the steward's mansion for a banquet? Those four gatekeeping guys were making things difficult for us. At that time, I noticed that these guys were probably not going the right way for Lisan, and sure enough, after Lisan came out, he immediately went into a rage and also completed the method of not treating the servants with tolerance and winning the hearts of the people, but also mercilessly gave us heavy punishments. Although at that time it was to give us face, if these guys were Lisan's subordinates, then he probably wouldn't have given such heavy punishments. Therefore, I dare to be certain that the upper echelons of the Martial Competition Manor were not as friendly as they appeared on the surface. They were probably fighting in the open and in the dark. Young Master, if you want to think about what happened back then, you can imagine it. "

Xiao Li thoughtfully nodded his head, saying, "That's right. What you say makes a lot of sense, but what does it have to do with those darn things you did? Don't tell me that you're ruining Li Si Ran's reputation and he has to thank you in secret? "

The little monkey laughed and said, "I'm afraid that Young Master has guessed correctly this time. This Lisran probably really is thanking me in his heart right now."

When Xiao Li saw the proud expression on the Xiao Clan member's face, he immediately said coldly, "What are you trying to do, fellow? Don't let Liszt come and cause trouble for me, then I won't be polite to you. " Since they were on someone else's territory, he had no choice but to be careful. Otherwise, they would be able to gather people to kill the three of them at any time. Back then, he had decided to stay in Martial Competition Manor because he was afraid that rejecting Lisran's invitation would anger the other party. Thus, he had no choice but to give the other party face and stay in this villa.

The little monkey smiled and said, "Don't worry, young master." When you think about how I accepted bribes in his name so unrestrainedly, and how those shopkeepers are not idiots, but instead some of the more experienced people, you will definitely think that there is something not to be wrong about this. Even if Lisan is a greedy person, he definitely can't be someone stupid enough to do such a thing in broad daylight, then the only explanation would be that someone is going to frame this fellow. So at least Liszt knew how to use it to turn it into a weapon for his benefit. If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't have had such a good opportunity. I'm sure this guy is hiding at home and laughing. "

Hearing the little monkey's words, Xiao Li felt that it wasn't unreasonable. His expression immediately relaxed as he said, "You always do weird things. In the future, be more honest and don't go out randomly and cause trouble for me."

The little monkey laughed, "There's nothing we can do about it. You've always been blaming me for making everyone run away from the Martial Competition Manor and spend all the money for the journey. I can only find something here to compensate you."

Xiao Li couldn't help but shake his head as he heard that. He said indifferently, "You have your reasons. Hurry up and get breakfast. I haven't eaten anything yet."

Looking at the mess on the table, the little monkey was surprised, "Really?" Then whose masterpiece was this? The amount of food for this meal is not small at all! "

Xiao Li smiled bitterly, "Isn't it that Brother Lei you know? One is more than enough to deal with three people."

The little monkey laughed and said, "So it's this guy. Then it's not strange at all." "However, when I woke up, I saw that this fellow was still lying on the bed. Could it be that this guy had midnight snacks?"

Xiao Li said, "Of course not, this guy just finished eating and went back to sleep." "Before, he got up early in the morning to cultivate his skills. Moreover, he said that his appetite had greatly increased after training. That's why he ate so astonishingly."

The little monkey said, "Is there such a cultivation technique? "Damn, then it's better not to practice. Don't make yourself into a glutton." After that, he went out to get the servants to prepare breakfast.

After the little monkey left, Xiao Li said to Old Zhao, who had been silent at the side, "Uncle Zhao, what's wrong? Why did he look so depressed? If you have anything on your mind, just say it. Everyone can help to resolve it. " It turned out Old Zhao had been sitting beside him, frowning and thinking hard about something. Thus, he didn't seem to have heard Xiao Li and the little monkey's conversation.

When Old Zhao heard Xiao Li's question, he immediately sighed and said, "Young master, you were too rash last night. That 'divine divination' is not a person that can be easily provoked. This kind of person will definitely not let this matter rest."

Xiao Li smiled, "So you are worried about this matter! Hehe, that's nothing. I have already provoked quite a number of people that I should not have provoked. Oh right, I'm a bit curious. This person seems to have some connections with you, right? Can you tell me more about it? "

Old Zhao sighed and said, "Since young master wants to hear it, then I'll say it well. When talking about the 'divine calculation of heaven and earth', one could not help but talk about the four top powers in the martial arts world. The four major sects in the martial arts world today are: the orthodox school, the Upper Qing school, the Lou Guang school and the Shaolin school. In the past, Shaolin Temple could be said to have helped Emperor Taizong conquer the world and established a great sect for the Tang Dynasty, so it had always been known as the Imperial Protector's Sect.

Unfortunately, Wu Zetian was so strong that he almost exterminated the sect. The only thing he could do was to stay alive and secretly accumulate energy to survive.

And the reason why Wu Zetian was able to seize the throne was because she had defeated the Shaolin Faction. This was also the reason why their faction had risen to power. Wu Zetian used the conflict between the Taoism and the Buddhist Sect to support the righteous faction. Then, he used the righteous faction to attack the Shaolin Faction, almost annihilating Shaolin.

The Lou Guang Sect is a newly risen sect, and their rise also depends on the support of the imperial government. Do you know who the person behind them is? "

Xiao Li didn't expect Old Zhao's words to lead to such a topic. He frowned and shook his head, "I don't know."

Old Zhao said, "The rise of the Lou Guang Sect is due to the evolution of the situation of the various factions of the imperial government after the succession of the Central Sects. The one who secretly supported Lou Guang was the daughter of the Central Sect's Princess An Le. This princess was very ambitious. It was said that she had repeatedly asked the Central Sect to appoint her as the imperial concubine. From this, it could be seen that she was looking down on the imperial throne of the Tang Dynasty, so she naturally had to arrange a competition between the different forces in the martial arts world.

In the martial arts world, the only sects that did not involve themselves too much in the struggle with the imperial court were the upper echelons. "This sect is relatively neutral and even plays the role of a middleman in the disputes between clans in the martial arts world."

Xiao Li frowned slightly. "Uncle Zhao, what is your purpose in saying all this?" The more he heard, the more confused Xiao Li became. All of this had nothing to do with that 'God of Heaven and Earth'. What did Uncle Zhao want to say about this fellow first?
