The Cycle of Reincarnation in the Four-Courtyard House: A Journey Through the Heavens

Li Xiao quickly waved his hand and said, "Senior Sister, there's no need to be angry. Yu Yan is currently deeply involved and naturally cannot see through Murong Fu's true colors!"

Wang Yuyan glared at Li Xiao with an unfriendly expression, about to say something in rebuttal, but was silenced by a glare from Li Qingluo.

Li Xiao continued, "Actually, even if my senior sister hadn't said anything, I would still have avenged my master."

"A year ago, after my master passed on all his power to me, I took on the important task of revitalizing the Xiaoyao Sect. Eliminating traitors from the sect was the first thing I had to do."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingluo showed a hint of gratitude on her face.

"Junior brother..."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Senior Sister, there's no need for words of gratitude. This is something I personally promised Master."

He then looked at Wang Yuyan and said, "If Senior Sister trusts me, I'd like to take Yuyan out to explore the martial world; it would be good for her!"

Li Xiao did have a problem with Wang Yuyan; there was nothing he could do about it, since she looked too much like Liu Qianqian.

In the world of "Siheyuan", Liu Qianqian had already become his fiancée. If Wang Yuyan married someone else in this world, he would never agree to it.

Wang Yuyan didn't seem interested in Li Xiao's suggestion, but Li Qingluo readily agreed.

Li Xiao looked at Wang Yuyan and said, "Yuyan, when you're out and about, it'd be more convenient for you to disguise yourself as a man!"

Li Qingluo nodded in agreement.

Li Xiao stayed at Mantuo Villa for three days.

For the past three days, he has stayed in the Langhuan Jade Cave and used the photocopier in the Space Supermarket to make a copy of all the books in it.

These are all martial arts manuals collected by the Xiaoyao Sect and Li Qingluo over the years, and they would be extremely valuable in any world.

Before leaving, Li Xiao personally used professional makeup tools to cover up Wang Yuyan's stunning beauty.

He was extremely meticulous when applying makeup, not only covering up the piercings on her earlobes but also creating a fake Adam's apple on her throat.

Wang Yuyan's originally flawless skin was also altered by him using makeup tools to become a healthy wheat color.

When Li Qingluo saw Wang Yuyan, dressed in a white scholar's robe, appear before her, she could hardly believe her eyes.

"This...this is Yu Yan?"

She almost wouldn't have recognized her daughter, whom she had watched grow up, if she hadn't been mentally prepared beforehand.

Even Wang Yuyan was stunned by Li Xiao's incredible makeup skills.

When she opened her eyes and looked at her reflection in the bronze mirror, she felt extremely unfamiliar with herself.

"Heh, these are just some little tricks for navigating the world!"

Nowadays, apart from Wang Yuyan's voice, almost no one can tell from her appearance that she was originally a stunningly beautiful woman.

After making some preparations, Li Xiao took Wang Yuyan and left Mantuo Manor.

The two boarded a small boat and docked at the pier in Wuxi County. Li Xiao jumped ashore first and then turned around to support Wang Yuyan behind him.

Walking into Wuxi County, you'll find a bustling crowd of people, with many vendors hawking their goods along the streets.

Wang Yuyan rarely goes out, but seeing this bustling scene of people coming and going, she couldn't help but reveal her girlish nature.

She watched the craftsman at the stall sculpting clay figures, his hands flying across the surface, quickly transforming a lump of yellow clay into a lifelike, chubby baby. She couldn't help but clap and cheer.

As they strolled along, Wang Yuyan had already collected quite a few trinkets. Li Xiao glanced at the sky and said to her, "Let's find a place to have lunch first, and then we can rest a bit!"

Wang Yuyan was also a little tired at the moment, and nodded in agreement.

Li Xiao spotted a restaurant that seemed to be doing well a hundred meters ahead, so he led Wang Yuyan there.

"Songhelou!"

Li Xiao looked up at the restaurant's signboard, seemingly lost in thought.

"Please come in, sirs. How many of you are there?"

The waiter, who was standing at the entrance of the restaurant and responsible for greeting guests, immediately spotted Li Xiao and Wang Yuyan, who were dressed in extraordinary clothes and had an elegant demeanor. He ran out with a smile and bowed to Li Xiao.

"Welcome, sirs! Are you two?"

"Yes, are there any good spots left here?"

"There's a good spot left by the window on the second floor. Please come upstairs!"

Li Xiao led Wang Yuyan into Songhelou Restaurant and found that the first floor was almost full. They followed the waiter to the second floor, where it was also full of customers.

Li Xiao immediately spotted a burly, imposing man sitting at a table by the window.

He was currently enjoying the roast chicken on the table, and then downed a large bowl of wine in one gulp.

Li Xiao's lips curled into a smile. He recognized the person in front of him at a glance. Who else could it be but "Northern Qiao Feng"?

Qiao Feng seemed to notice that someone was watching him, and turned to look at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao nodded politely to him, while the waiter walked to Qiao Feng's side with a fawning smile and said, "Esteemed guest, we are quite busy today. We have two other guests here; would it be possible for them to share a table with you?"

Qiao Feng looked up at Li Xiao and Wang Yuyan again, and said with a hearty expression, "All men are friends under heaven, please have a seat!"

"Thank you so much, brother!"

Li Xiao clasped his hands in thanks to him.

"My name is Qiao Feng. May I ask your honorable names, brothers?"

"So you are Qiao Feng, the leader of the Beggars' Sect. I have long admired the name of 'Qiao Feng of the North'."

Qiao Feng waved his hand modestly.

He then introduced himself: "My name is Li Xiao, and this is my friend Wang Yu."

"So it's Brother Li and Brother Wang!"

Wang Yuyan was not good at speaking to strangers, and simply nodded politely to Qiao Feng.

After the two sat down, Li Xiao handed the menu directly to Wang Yuyan: "Order whatever you like, I don't have any dietary restrictions!"

Wang Yuyan smiled sweetly as she took the menu, ordered four of her favorite dishes, and then handed the menu to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao then ordered a steamed sea bass and a braised pork knuckle before returning the menu to the waiter.

"Sir, our Songhelou's 'Red Beauty's Intoxication' is absolutely superb! Would you like to try a pot?"

Li Xiao waved his hand and said, "I brought my own wine!"

After he finished speaking, he took out a five-pound wine jar from his bundle.

The waiter stared wide-eyed at the small package, utterly bewildered as to how this young master had managed to pull out such a large jar of wine.

The waiter didn't dare ask any more questions and went downstairs directly.

The man opposite him also stopped drinking and looked at the wine jar with a shocked expression.

Li Xiao chuckled and, without offering any further explanation, directly slapped open the lid of the wine jar with his palm.

Instantly, a strong aroma of wine wafted out, and the man opposite him immediately brightened up.
