In the stands, Xie Wanyi's eyebrows relaxed, and she immediately let go.

Dong Guan's face was extremely gloomy. He thought to himself, "How is this possible? Even Teng Wenjie, who is expected to enter the top ten, is not a match for him? It seems that I really underestimated that kid."

A hint of surprise flashed across Xie Yu's face.

That kid's punches and kicks were shrewd and experienced, not at all like a newly promoted internal strength practitioner.

However, he remained calm and his expression did not change. He cleared his throat twice and said to Xie Wanyi, "Since we are friends, please invite Li Yuan over. I want to see him."

His tone was indifferent, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"Really?" Xie Wanyi's expression immediately brightened. "I'll go call them right now!"

After a few breaths, Xie Wanyi jogged to the center of the field.

"Li Yuan".

Just as Li Yuan was about to sit back down in the rest area to wait, he heard a soft call in his ear.

The voice... seems somewhat familiar.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Xie Wanyi said with a smile as she stepped forward.

The experience at the teahouse that day made Li Yuan recognize Xie Wanyi, but he didn't have a good impression of her.

But out of politeness, he still cupped his hands and said, "So you are Miss Xie."

Ignoring Li Yuan's coldness, Xie Wanyi said even more enthusiastically, "You've changed so much in just a few days."

"I almost didn't recognize him," Xie Wanyi said, looking him up and down. "He's grown so much."

Due to his daily martial arts practice, especially with the assistance of the "White Tiger Bone Forging Technique," Li Yuan's rapid growth in height was only natural.

"I have some good news. My uncle would like to invite you to come and see him," Xie Wanyi said.

The Xie family?

Li Yuan frowned slightly.

"Lead the way."

He agreed anyway.

Xie Wanyi is Song Ziwei's best friend. She had just received a favor from Song Ziwei, so it wouldn't be right not to give her face.

Li Yuan followed Xie Wanyi to the stands, where they saw a sharp-eyed old man sitting upright in the main seat, his expression serious and exuding an air of supreme authority.

"You are Li Yuan?" Xie Yu asked.

The sound was fairly calm.

Li Yuan cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Li Yuan greets Senior."

Calm and composed, neither arrogant nor humble.

"Truly an extraordinary demeanor!" Xie Yu's eyes lit up, and then a perfectly timed smile appeared on his face.

"You flatter me, senior."

Xie Yu gestured to the seat beside him, indicating for Li Yuan to sit down, and said with a smile, "Martial Arts Master Li is young but possesses exceptional skills. Although my Xie family is not a prestigious clan, we do have some standing. If Martial Arts Master Li does not mind our humble origins, would you be willing to accept the position of Commander of the Xie family's Guards?"

If it were anyone else, they would have already fallen in love at this moment.

But Li Yuan had his own ideas.

Commander of the Guards?

To put it bluntly, he's still just a guard.

They guard the house and act according to their master's wishes.

Upon hearing Xie Yu's words, Xie Wanyi was slightly taken aback.

If Li Yuan were willing to be a guard captain, would he have waited until now?

Li Yuan stood up, took half a step back, and returned the greeting with clasped hands: "I am grateful for your kind regard, senior. However, I am still inexperienced and lack experience, and I am afraid I am not up to the important task of guarding the commander."

Xie Yu could easily understand the meaning behind Li Yuan's words.

He never expected Li Yuan to refuse.

With qualifications like that, you still look down on the Xie family's invitation?

Young man, do you know how many people are lining up for this position at the martial arts school?

Including internal strength.

A flash of anger crossed Xie Yu's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and forced a smile. "Martial Arts Master Li might want to reconsider."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, senior." Li Yuan bowed again. "I'll take my leave."

After Li Yuan turned around, Xie Yu's eyes gradually turned cold.

Even Xie Wanyi was startled. Her uncle was usually very composed and never showed his emotions. He had never been so angry before.

She didn't dare to breathe.

She originally wanted to catch up with Li Yuan to explain, but seeing her uncle's frosty expression and cold eyes, she stopped herself.

no way.

As members of the Xie family, they were naturally the envy of everyone in the city.

Little did people know that they were not from the direct line, and that everything they ate, wore, and used depended on the whims of their uncle, Xie Yu, the head of the family.

Given Xie Yu's style of doing things, if you anger him, your family is unlikely to have a good time.

She didn't dare.

A moment later, Xie Yu had someone summon his retainer Dong Guan.

"Uncle, what are your orders?" Dong Guan asked respectfully, clasping his hands in greeting.

Xie Yu pointed to Li Yuan in the tenth arena and said, "See that kid?"

Dong Guan frowned slightly, puzzled. "He just defeated Teng Wenjie. Uncle, is this... an intentional attempt to recruit him?"

"Attract him?" Xie Yu sneered. "If we meet in the competition, give him a good humiliation!"

Xie Wanyi was startled.

Dong Guan squinted for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, Uncle, if I run into him, I'll beat him to a pulp!"

"Brother Dong, just defeat him normally, don't be too ruthless. After all... after all, he comes from a humble background and doesn't seem wealthy. If he's seriously injured, not only will his martial arts path be cut off, but whether he can be cured is also a problem..." Xie Wanyi hesitated for a long time before finally speaking softly.

Dong Guan turned his head and gave her a bright, sunny smile. "Don't worry, Wanyi, I know what I'm doing."

When he turned back, the smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a sinister gaze fixed on Li Yuan in the arena.

Tianlong Martial Arts School area.

"Did you see it clearly?" Xiao Changfeng frowned and asked a servant beside him.

"That's right! It's him!" the servant said confidently, pointing to Lu Qing's figure.

This servant had always worked at the black market auctions. Lu Qing's appearance that day was so "spectacular" that he remembered him at a glance.

After this confirmation, Xiao Changfeng was even more convinced that there was no mistake.

He glanced at a square-faced, angular young man beside him. "Chen'er, if we were to encounter them, what are your chances of success?"

Xiao Yichen, the second son of Xiao Changfeng, is a rising star among the younger generation of Tianlong Martial Arts School and the most popular candidate to win this year's martial arts examination.

In the previous martial arts examination, he made an unexpected mistake, which led to his defeat in one move and missed the opportunity to advance to the top ten. Now, after being nourished by elixirs and having spent so much time recuperating, his internal energy and blood have become stronger and more solid. He has long shown signs of breaking through to the Transformation Realm, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one person below the Transformation Realm in Linjiang City.

"Father, don't worry! Although Lu Qing is exceptionally talented, he has only recently broken through to the Dark Force realm. I observe that his qi and blood are weak, indicating that he has not yet reached the peak of the Dark Force realm. Naturally, I am not afraid of him!"

"Good!" Xiao Changfeng's body stiffened, and he immediately became energetic, as if he had become ten years younger. "When we meet on stage, beat him to a pulp!"

The Green Ox Martial Arts Society and the Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School have always been entangled in a history of feuds.

Now that "Lu Qing" has single-handedly killed five elite disciples of the Tianlong Martial Arts School, what will become of the school's reputation? What will become of Xiao Changfeng's reputation?!

In addition, one of the five elite disciples was his own nephew.

This grudge must be avenged!

We absolutely have to get our revenge!

"Father, you don't need to tell me, I will naturally not let him go!" Xiao Yichen stared intently at Lu Qing, his eyes turning extremely sinister.

Lu Qing's situation is a bit delicate.
