"Li Qingshan, the Third Miss orders you to go to the martial arts arena now and participate in the competition."

The newcomer was a maid, who looked down on people and was extremely arrogant.

After saying this, he even snorted coldly at Li Qingshan and Wu Ziming a few times.

Li Qingshan frowned slightly and responded.

Wu Ziming clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, wishing he could go up and beat the messenger maid who had just left.

"Manager, this maid is shameless! We're all servants, what gives her the right to act so arrogantly?"

Li Qingshan waved his hand and casually pointed out.

"Don't worry about what others think; the key is what you think. If you're really upset, then go get revenge and repay her properly!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Ziming was slightly taken aback, then his expression cleared as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining through.

Li Qingshan straightened his clothes and headed towards the Marquis of Changning's residence.

As for the maid who delivered the order, she had long since disappeared.

It was as if the Water Cloud Pavilion was incredibly filthy, not worth her lingering at all, and even disgusting to her.

After passing through the bustling city, Li Qingshan soon arrived at the entrance of the Marquis's residence.

"Green Mountain!"

Li Hao, who had changed into a bodyguard's short-sleeved uniform, was overjoyed to see Li Qingshan.

"Well done, kid. You became a bodyguard overnight. That's pretty fast!"

Li Hao cupped his hands in greeting, made no attempt to conceal anything, and revealed everything he knew that day.

"I must thank you, Qingshan. If it weren't for your kind words to the Third Miss, I would still be just a servant feeding horses."

"Now that's great, I've become a guard at the hospital, and I'm even practicing dance. Maybe in a while I can go out and be a manager like you!"

Upon seeing this, the guards on the other side also quickly bowed to Li Qingshan.

After all, although Li Qingshan wasn't their direct superior, he could still speak with the young lady in charge.

Li Qingshan returned the greeting, exchanged a few more words with Li Hao, and then continued on his way to the training ground.

After he left, the guards stopped standing guard and instead began to flatter Li Hao.

"Alright, Brother Li, I didn't expect you to know someone like that. Today, I'll treat you to a proper welcome!"

"Haha, it seems we're in for a treat to make Old Liu bleed today!"

"Who can argue with that? And as far as I know, this Brother Qingshan has already caught the eye of several young ladies, and he might just become a head steward in the future."

"Brother Li Hao, you must put in a good word for us with our Chief Steward Li in the future."

Li Hao, who was flattered by everyone, was filled with gratitude.

If it weren't for Li Qingshan's appearance, he would still be isolated by everyone.

After all, Li Hao had just begun his cultivation, and it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the guard, a place where strength was paramount—unless he had an extraordinary background.

……

Martial arts training ground.

Dozens of stone figures made of bluestone stand here, some standing, some reclining, each with a different shape and strange appearance.

Surrounding it was a vast area paved with bluestone slabs, on which weapons such as knives, spears, and swords were stuck.

However, there weren't many people practicing martial arts in the training ground today. Instead, the Third Miss seemed to be the most respected, as if she was waiting for someone.

Before long, Li Qingshan strolled in, instantly drawing angry stares from the crowd.

"Hey! Li Qingshan, you really don't know what's good for you, making the Third Miss wait here for so long!"

"Li Qingshan, why don't you kneel down immediately and beg for the Third Miss's forgiveness? Otherwise, you know what we're capable of."

Two figures, as imposing as iron towers, instantly shouted, their veins bulging and their auras surging, clearly indicating they were skilled martial artists.

As for the others, their eyes were full of mockery, and they didn't have a welcoming attitude at all.

Xiao Muwan was watching the conflict with great interest, but did not intervene.

After all, he also wanted to know just how much strength this anomaly, Li Qingshan, really possessed, so that he could properly deal with Li Qingshan.

"Hehe, where did this loud barking come from? The Third Miss hasn't even said anything, so what's wrong? Why did you all jump out?"

And you even say that you don't care about the Third Miss at all, only about your anger at having your time wasted?

Upon hearing this, the two burly men who were about to make a move instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Even though they knew the Third Miss wouldn't be angry, they couldn't help but secretly look back at her, afraid of seeing even the slightest hint of impatience in her eyes.

Xiao Muwan, however, crossed her legs and slightly wiggled her delicate fingers:

"It's alright. Li Qingshan, I also want to know just how strong you are. Why don't you show me today?"

As they spoke, the two towering men, as if receiving some kind of command, strode forward and grinned maliciously, saying:

"Li Qingshan, Li Qingshan, let us brothers see what kind of person you really are!"

The next moment, the two of them joined forces and punched Li Qingshan.

The speed was so fast that Li Qingshan could even feel the wind blowing against his ears at that moment.

"So noisy!"

Facing two useless individuals who hadn't even cultivated internal energy and were still struggling to build up their bodies, Li Qingshan showed no mercy.

The two men threw punches, and Li Qingshan responded with his own punches.

boom!

The four fists collided, but Li Qingshan's body remained completely still, and the skin on his fists didn't even change in the slightest.

However, both guards were forced to retreat rapidly, their faces turning pale.

A moment later, the leader suddenly clutched his arm and began to wail wildly:

"Ah!!! My hand! Damn it, Li Qingshan, how dare you hurt my hand!"

"Li Qingshan, I want you dead!"

At this moment, those behind could see clearly that the wrists of the two iron towers were broken, with large patches of blood staining their skin, making them look particularly eerie.

"Interesting. I never expected Li Qingshan's internal strength to be so terrifying."

It seems he's close to breaking through to the late stage of internal energy cultivation. You two, Qian Da and Qian Er, go and give it a try!

Xiao Muwan also became interested, and at her call, two burly men stepped forward again.

However, this time the two burly men had gloomy faces and exuded a strong aura—the late stage of internal energy.

Qian Da struck first, unleashing a Black Tiger Claws at Li Qingshan's chest, causing the surrounding air to buzz.

Qian Er didn't sit still. His legwork was superb, and he kicked directly at Li Qingshan's head, helping Qian Da prepare to seriously injure him!

"Good timing!"

Upon seeing this, Li Qingshan roared and unleashed a powerful punch, striking the two men's attack head-on.

boom!boom!

Qian Da and Qian Er grunted and stepped back slightly, becoming alert once again.

"If that's all the strength you have, then you can go down!"
