Li Li Banfeng called out: "Brother Huang."

Hearing this, Ye Ye Jianhuang was quite happy and said to Li Li Banfeng: "Brother, wait for your brother to handle some business here,

then I'll congratulate you."

After finishing, Ye Ye Jianhuang took the pipe, took a puff, and puffed the smoke into Feng Feng Chongli's face.

"Boss Feng, my brother is having a happy event here. You shouldn't have come to stir up trouble on this day. Why don't you listen to my advice and never come to this place again."

Feng Feng Chongli held the abacus and clicked it twice.

This wasn't just clicking casually. Every time he made a major decision, Feng Feng Chongli had to calculate the cost: "Senior Ye, I'm afraid it's not easy to give this face today."

Feng Feng Chongli had calculated that if he let Li Li Banfeng go just like this, he felt he would be at a great loss.

Ye Ye Jianhuang was also quite considerate: "If you feel you're at a loss, then let's fight. My brother is doing business in this New Land, and I'll treat it as helping him reclaim wasteland today."

Ye Ye Jianhuang bit the mouthpiece and took a puff. In the smoke, there seemed to be countless sharp blades scraping Feng Feng Chongli's skin.

Feng Feng Chongli calculated with the abacus again. For this territory, is it worth fighting Ye Ye Jianhuang?

The result calculated was that it depends on what kind of situation Ye Ye Jianhuang is in.

If it's just acting, fighting a battle won't be a big loss.

If Ye Ye Jianhuang is serious and wants to fight to the death with him, then the loss will outweigh the gain.

Feng Feng Chongli turned the abacus beads, and a sudden wind rose, blowing away the smoke puffed out by Ye Ye Jianhuang.

Ye Ye Jianhuang wasn't in a hurry at all. He held the pipe and coughed twice, dissolving Feng Feng Chongli's technique.

The wind stopped on the spot.

After the wind stopped, Ye Ye Jianhuang puffed out another mouthful of smoke. This time, the smoke drilled into Feng Feng Chongli's clothes and went for his vital points.

Ye Ye Jianhuang was serious!

If it were acting, the movements should be big and the actual effect small.

But right now, Ye Ye Jianhuang had no movements, and every move was a killing move.

Feng Feng Chongli didn't click the abacus beads anymore. Facing this kind of Ye Ye Jianhuang, continuing to fight really couldn't be considered wise.

He put away the abacus, bowed to Ye Ye Jianhuang, Li Li Banfeng, and He He Yuxiu respectively, and turned to leave.

Ye Ye Jianhuang knocked the pipe and turned to look at Li Li Banfeng: "Brother, it's time to congratulate you."

Li Li Banfeng bowed in thanks: "Senior Ye, thanks to you just now—"

Ye Ye Jianhuang waved his hands repeatedly: "You must not call me Senior. If you call me that, someone will be unhappy." He was talking about Sun Sun Tiecheng, because Li Qi always called Sun Sun Tiecheng Big Brother, and Ye Ye Jianhuang had heard Gui Gui Jianchou and Tang Tang Changfa mention it.

"If you think highly of me in the future, just call me Brother Huang as you did just now. Is this your sister-in-law?" Ye Ye Jianhuang looked at He He Yuxiu. This physique, one look and you know she's good for childbearing.

He He Yuxiu was too shy to raise her head. Actually, Ye Ye Jianhuang was joking with her.

He He Yuxiu didn't know Ye Ye Jianhuang, which was normal, because Ye Ye Jianhuang rarely showed his face.

But Ye Ye Jianhuang recognized He He Yuxiu. He knew everything about Puluo Province, so naturally, he also knew this Eldest Miss He.

After joking a few times, Ye Ye Jianhuang took Li Li Banfeng to a secluded place and talked about business: "Someone asked me to tell you, don't always worry about other people's business and forget your own."

Li Li Banfeng understood Ye Ye Jianhuang's meaning. This was City Lord Sun asking Li Li Banfeng to go home.

"Brother Huang, you also saw it. This piece of New Land has been targeted by Snowflake Pier. If I leave now, I'm afraid I'll fall short of success."

Ye Ye Jianhuang sighed: "Snowflake Pier is indeed not easy to deal with. I'll watch over it for you first. If I can't watch over it, there's still your Big Brother Sun.

Go home and tell him about it. He protects you so much, he certainly won't just watch and do nothing."

Li Li Banfeng returned to the side of the territory, gave a few instructions to He He Yuxiu, Ma Wu, the cook, and others, and prepared to leave New Land for Fool City.

He He Yuxiu was a bit reluctant: "Seventh Brother, when will you come back?"

Li Li Banfeng laughed: "When you have sat firmly as the local deity, I guess I should be back. Continue reclaiming the wasteland."

He He Yuxiu's heart palpitated. She looked at the plot of land, where the Three-Head people had set up the offerings and were preparing to reclaim the wasteland again.

By the time she turned her face, Li Li Banfeng's figure had already gone far away.

At the gate of Fool City, a man stopped Li Li Banfeng and demanded an entry fee: "You have to give one ocean dollar to enter the city. This is the rule here!"

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "One dollar is not enough."

The man was stunned: "Then how much do you think is appropriate?"

"You have to give five!"

The man scratched his scalp: "Is five too much?"

"Not much," Li Li Banfeng reasoned with the man seriously. "I came from so far away, the car and horse money alone costs one ocean dollar. Dry food and drinking water cost another half a dollar.

I suffered a minor injury on the road, and the medicine and gauze cost another half a dollar. Calculating it this way, it's already two dollars. Is it appropriate for you to give one ocean dollar? Where is your conscience?"

The gatekeeper counted with his fingers for a long time: "Even if one dollar isn't appropriate, you can't ask for five.

Didn't you only spend two dollars?"

Li Li Banfeng waved his hand: "I haven't finished speaking yet. I met a robber on the road and was robbed of three ocean dollars. Tell me, how should this money be calculated?"

The gatekeeper was angry: "It wasn't me who robbed your money. No matter how this money is calculated, it shouldn't be calculated on my head!"

Li Li Banfeng was also angry: "If I hadn't come to Fool City, this money wouldn't have been robbed. It was to enter this city gate that I was robbed of three ocean dollars. You are the one watching the gate, shouldn't you compensate for this money?"

The gatekeeper lowered his head: "You are asking for too much. Five is definitely not okay. Let's not talk about anything else, hiring a car and horse definitely doesn't cost one ocean dollar, dry food and water are also calculated too much, and medicine and gauze, how can that little bit of stuff be worth half an ocean dollar..."

The two argued for a while and finally reached an agreement. The gatekeeper gave Li Li Banfeng three and a half ocean dollars.

Li Li Banfeng collected the money and entered the city.

The gatekeeper sneered: "Looking at you, you're still not convinced. Let me tell you, giving you three and a half is not bad. If it were me in the past when I was ruthless, I would have given you three. What could you do to me?"

Li Li Banfeng arrived at the Changsan Book Apartment. Yan Yan Cuier was soliciting business at the door, Yan Qing'er was singing in the room, Yan Hong'er was sitting on the side reading a newspaper, and Tang Tang Changfa was managing the accounts in the back hall.

Seeing the shopkeeper return, everyone was very happy. Li Qi looked at the newspaper in Yan Hong'er's hand and couldn't help but frown: "Isn't this last month's newspaper?"

Yan Hong'er pouted: "I asked Tang Tang Changfa for the newspaper, but he refused to buy it."

Li Li Banfeng was unhappy: "Lao Tang, I gave you quite a bit of money before, why are you even reluctant to buy a newspaper?"

Tang Tang Changfa rubbed his hands: "Money is hard to earn and doesn't last. This is all hard-earned money from the shopkeeper. We can buy some firewood and rice to live, but where can we spend it recklessly?"

Li Li Banfeng looked at Tang Tang Changfa. He had given him a sum of Da Huan currency before, and then gave him ten thousand ocean dollars. Tang Tang Changfa had shown the account book to Li Li Banfeng, and he hadn't moved much of this money.

No matter how much money he gave him, all that was left in his eyes was firewood and rice. In Fool City, insisting on living was more important than anything else to him.

Li Li Banfeng took out his wallet and gave Yan Hong'er a sum first: "Go buy newspapers, buy as many as you want."

Yan Hong'er was happy. Li Li Banfeng gave Yan Yan Cuier a sum of money: "Go buy wine and meat, pick the best."

Tang Tang Changfa was anxious: "Shopkeeper, how can we take your money? There is plenty of money in the account. This wine and meat shouldn't be bought by Yan Yan Cuier. This girl is too silly and spends money without counting!"

"You stay at home, just let them go, just let them bloom." Li Li Banfeng stopped Tang Tang Changfa,

and gave Yan Qing'er a sum of money.

"Go buy some new clothes, add one for every sister!"

Yan Qing'er went away happily.

Li Li Banfeng took out a stack of banknotes and gave them to Sun Sun Tiecheng: "Go buy some rouge and dress up with the sisters!"

Sun Sun Tiecheng looked in the mirror: "I'm already so handsome, do I still need to dress up?"

Li Li Banfeng was shocked and hurriedly took back the banknotes.

Just now there were only three girls and one Tang Tang Changfa in the room. Li Li Banfeng really didn't know when Sun Sun Tiecheng came in.

"Big Brother Sun!" Li Li Banfeng bowed solidly.

Sun Sun Tiecheng stopped the three girls: "Don't be in a hurry to go out yet. All of you stand on the side. Today I have something to say to your shopkeeper."

The three girls stood honestly by the wall. Tang Tang Changfa called the other girls out, and they stood neatly on the side.

Sun Sun Tiecheng said to Li Qi: "When you passed the examination of Fool City, I gave you a reward and taught you the Fool cultivation technique. This wasn't taught for nothing. We had an agreement before. When the time comes, you must enter my sect. Now the time has come.

Your cultivation has reached above the clouds. I have the confidence to let you cultivate three sects simultaneously, and I won't let you suffer from cultivation backlash. If you enter my sect, you will be the only Fool cultivator in the world in the future. If you don't enter my sect, some things will have to be discussed properly."

Li Li Banfeng said: "No need to discuss. I want to enter the sect, sincerely!"

Sun Sun Tiecheng appreciated Li Li Banfeng's attitude very much: "Since you promised, then I'll make a move!"

Li Li Banfeng was stunned: "Make a move on what?"

"Entering the sect, naturally you have to apply medicinal powder!" Sun Sun Tiecheng took out a cloth bag and took out some medicinal powder with his bare hands,

and asked Li Li Banfeng, "Where do you want to apply it?"

Li Li Banfeng hesitated.

Apply it on the thickest part of the flesh?

In front of so many girls, taking off his pants certainly wouldn't be appropriate.

Apply it on the palm or sole of the foot?

Injuring the limbs would inevitably affect combat power. To minimize the impact, Li Li Banfeng pulled his lapel and pointed to his belly: "Apply it here!"

"Good!" Sun Sun Tiecheng nodded and applied the medicinal powder to Li Li Banfeng's face.

Li Li Banfeng covered his face, jumping in pain: "Didn't I tell you to apply it on my belly?"

Sun Sun Tiecheng laughed: "No matter where you say to apply it, I have to apply it on your face."

"Then why did you ask me?"

"This is to temper you. I used a technique; let's see if you can discover it."

Li Li Banfeng was unconvinced: "If I use a technique on you, can you discover it?"

Sun Sun Tiecheng was very confident: "I can!"

"Then I'll really use it."

Sun Sun Tiecheng pulled out a short knife: "Give it a try!"

This person is really unreasonable.

Li Li Banfeng folded his hands and squatted on the ground: "Today is the day I enter the sect. Such a big happy event,

and you came empty-handed?"

Sun Sun Tiecheng was surprised: "What do you mean empty-handed? Didn't I just give you medicinal powder?"

Li Li Banfeng snorted: "That little bit of medicinal powder isn't worth much money. At least you should teach me a technique to make it reasonable." Sun Sun Tiecheng sneered: "Did I teach you less? How many years has Gu Gu Rusong followed me? I only taught him two techniques. You've learned four techniques in my place before and after—is that little?"

"Can he compare with me? I am a true introductory disciple, the only Fool cultivator in the world. Shouldn't you take care of me?"

Tang Tang Changfa said on the side: "The shopkeeper is right. You should take care of him."

Yan Cui advised Sun Sun Tiecheng: "Today is our big happy day. It's only right to pass on two more techniques."

Yan Hong'er nodded repeatedly: "Our shopkeeper is the eldest young master of the city. If you don't dote on him, who else can you dote on?"

Yan Qing'er picked up the pipa: "City Lord, I'll sing you a little tune. You are the master of our Fool City; you can't be too stingy."

Sun Sun Tiecheng was annoyed: "Didn't I tell you to go out and buy things? Why are you all staying here? Go buy!"

Everyone went to do their own work and left.

Li Li Banfeng looked aggrieved, still squatting on the ground.

Sun Sun Tiecheng squatted next to Li Li Banfeng and said unhappily: "Alright, today is indeed a good day. I'll teach you another technique. Have you learned it?"

Li Li Banfeng was stunned: "What have I learned? You haven't taught anything!"

Sun Sun Tiecheng said seriously: "What kind of talk is that? You wanted to learn a technique, and I promised to teach you a technique. How can you say I didn't teach?"

"Are you telling a joke?" Li Li Banfeng didn't understand. "You promised to teach, so that counts as teaching?"

Sun Sun Tiecheng remained serious: "If I hadn't promised to teach you, I certainly couldn't teach you. Don't you think that's the logic?"

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "That makes a lot of sense."

Sun Sun Tiecheng continued: "If I promised to teach you, I have already taught you. Don't you think that's the logic?"

Li Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time: "What kind of logic is this?"

"This is the logic of reversing cause and effect," Sun Sun Tiecheng laughed. "Whether I taught you or not, just look at whether I promised.

Think about it carefully, is what I said really unreasonable?"

Li Li Banfeng actually felt that this made a lot of sense, because he was hit by the technique.

But this didn't match the normal logic he recognized, so Li Li Banfeng couldn't admit the logic in it.

"The cause and effect relationship you mentioned has loopholes and can't be calculated like this."

Sun Sun Tiecheng laughed: "How should it be calculated? Do you have the final say, or do I? What is the cause, and what is the effect? Just look at how the technique is performed. Can you understand it now?"

Li Li Banfeng thought carefully about the essentials of the technique. After thinking for a long time, he whispered: "This is the Unnamable?"

Sun Sun Tiecheng nodded: "Good boy, you've opened your mind. Other people's techniques use Unnamable means,

our sect's techniques use Unnamable mechanisms. That's why our sect dares to call itself the best in the world!"

Li Li Banfeng thought seriously about the changing laws between cause and effect. This technique was clearly not easy to learn. Sun Sun Tiecheng told Li Li Banfeng not to be too anxious: "Reversing cause and effect is hard work. At the beginning, don't find too hard cause and effect to reverse.

For example, I entered the Changsan Book Apartment and ate dinner. This is a normal cause and effect. If you want to reverse it to 'I didn't eat dinner, so I didn't enter the apartment,' this reversal is a bit too hard.

I didn't eat dinner right now, but I still entered the apartment. The obvious truth is there, so it's not easy to reverse it. I have this ability, but you still need to temper yourself more.

You can start by reversing cause and effect that isn't so hard. You can reverse it to 'I ate dinner, which proves I entered the apartment.' Reversing it like this is much smoother."

Li Li Banfeng tried it, and sure enough, the difficulty of the two cause-and-effect reversals was very different.

Sun Sun Tiecheng laughed: "Brother, have you gained some insight?"

Li Li Banfeng nodded repeatedly and then stood up: "Since I have entered the sect, I should call you Master."

Sun Sun Tiecheng gave a bitter laugh: "You got it backward. You think of calling me Master now? Even if you want to call me that, you can't." Li Li Banfeng was shocked: "Why can't I call you that?"

Sun Sun Tiecheng pulled up a chair and let Li Li Banfeng sit down: "If you were still outside the door, then you should indeed call me Master. Disciples outside the door should also call me Master. But if you enter the sect, you can only call me Big Brother.

Our sect only has brothers, no masters. You must remember this; it's a rule that cannot be changed."

Li Li Banfeng didn't understand: "Why would there be such a rule?"

Sun Sun Tiecheng was silent for a moment: "If there comes a day when we become enemies and have to fight to the death, I will certainly have to tell you, 'I passed on skills to you, I am your master, you cannot betray your master and destroy your ancestors.'

You must not be fooled. Our sect has no masters, and there is no such thing as betraying your master and destroying your ancestors. You don't have to show mercy to me either."

The words were a bit heavy. Li Li Banfeng blinked: "How could we become enemies? Where does this come from?"

Sun Sun Tiecheng said seriously: "Did you remember?"

"Remembered." Li Li Banfeng nodded repeatedly.

Yan Cui bought wine and food back. Tang Tang Changfa hurriedly set the table. Sun Sun Tiecheng looked at the food box and shook his head repeatedly: "This little bit of stuff, how is it enough to eat?"

Tang Tang Changfa said: "It's not little, it's enough for a table!"

Sun Sun Tiecheng took out several silver dollars: "Go buy more, add a few more tables, and let the people in the book apartment come over to eat together. Don't leave out those who sweep the floor or wipe the dust."

This was a big day for the Changsan Book Apartment, a big day for Fool City. Sun Sun Tiecheng was very happy. Whoever came to toast, he drank it all. He drank two jars and still felt he hadn't had enough.

Li Li Banfeng put down the wine bowl and talked about what happened during the day: "Big Brother, Snowflake Pier has targeted me. They were investigating me in secret before, and now they are looking for trouble in the open. Thanks to Brother Huang's help today, I escaped a disaster."

Sun Sun Tiecheng was quite satisfied: "A-Huang handles things quite well. You also have good courage, daring to ask for territory from Inner Province people. This territory is not easy to guard."

Li Li Banfeng said: "I am also worried about this matter. If I encounter Snowflake Pier people again, what should I do?"

Sun Sun Tiecheng laughed: "What else can you do? Beat them up! If you can beat them, beat them to death. If you can't beat them, we'll hide first. When there's a chance to strike in the dark, beat them to death."

Li Li Banfeng sighed: "They say Snowflake Pier is not easy to offend. I've offended them thoroughly this time."

Sun Sun Tiecheng laughed repeatedly: "Snowflake Pier is not easy to offend? What the hell is Snowflake Pier? Offending them, so what? They are destined to be beaten!"

Li Li Banfeng said: "They manage the business of minting money and have many ruthless people under them. With my current ability,

I really can't fight them."

Sun Sun Tiecheng shook his head: "Brother, there are some things I can't tell you clearly. Listen to me: when you can beat them, don't be polite, beat them to death. If you really can't beat them, come find me, and I'll beat them for you."

Snowflake Pier was actually so unbearable in Sun Sun Tiecheng's eyes.

After drinking a few more cups, Li Li Banfeng looked at Tang Tang Changfa and the familiar girls: "Big Brother, I want to take them out to experience things."

As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Tang Changfa, Yan Cui, and others put down their chopsticks.

Sun Sun Tiecheng didn't speak. Tang Tang Changfa said to Li Qi: "Shopkeeper, we haven't been out for many years. We don't know what it looks like outside. If we go out now, who knows how much trouble we'll cause, and in the end, we'll just be a burden to you."

Li Qi shook his head: "It's impossible to be a burden. You all have means in doing things. Going out will be a help to me."

Several people looked at each other and didn't make a sound.

Sun Sun Tiecheng smacked his lips: "The whole Puluo Province is guarding against our sect. They have followed me for so many years, and I am also a bit worried. If they leave the city, I'm afraid they'll be sent to their deaths."

Li Li Banfeng thought for a long time and said to Sun Sun Tiecheng: "Then don't go to Puluo Province, go to the Outer Province. The Outer Province doesn't know much about our sect."

Hearing about going to the Outer Province, Tang Tang Changfa was even more panicked: "City Lord, the Outer Province might really not know us, but we know even less about the Outer Province. Usually, except for newspapers, I haven't seen the word 'Outer Province' much."

Sun Sun Tiecheng drank a cup of wine and tasted it. This time he was a bit moved: "Lao Qi, tell me the truth. Taking them to the Outer Province, is it to help you, or to repay me?

If it's to repay me, forget it. I don't need you to repay me. If you really want to take them out to see, I think it's a good thing."

"They will be good helpers when they go to the Outer Province. This is the truth." Li Li Banfeng really needed some helpers in the Outer Province.

Tang Tang Changfa still didn't want to go: "City Lord, we really can't—"

"What's wrong with that?" Sun Sun Tiecheng waved his hand. "In the city, you listen to me. In the Changsan Book Apartment, you must listen to the shopkeeper. Wherever the shopkeeper tells you to go, you must go!"

The crowd didn't speak. Sun Sun Tiecheng was in a great mood and poured another bowl for Li Qi: "You set a date and take them on the journey. If you really feel they are useful, stay for a few more days. If they are really useless, send them back to me."

After living in Fool City for a few days, under Sun Sun Tiecheng's guidance, Li Li Banfeng learned the technique of reversing cause and effect.

He also received news from He He Yuxiu that the first three-li plot of land in New Land had been reclaimed.

The cook was indeed powerful. According to different wandering creatures, there were different response strategies.

The Three-Head people learned quickly. On the last day of the examination, the cook didn't give much guidance, and the Three-Head people thought of countermeasures themselves and successfully defeated Fengqu Weng.

The wasteland reclamation went smoothly. With water sources, more than five thousand people could be successfully settled. Ye Ye Jianhuang stayed in New Land, and Snowflake Pier didn't send anyone to stir up trouble again. This matter was completely done.

"Good boy," Sun Sun Tiecheng praised, "You cut a piece of meat off the Inner Province!"

Li Li Banfeng didn't claim credit: "Big Brother, that pair of crucian carp skeletons was left by you, right?"

Sun Sun Tiecheng nodded.

Li Li Banfeng laughed: "I just picked up a ready-made one from Big Brother."

Sun Sun Tiecheng shook his head: "This ready-made one isn't something anyone can pick up. I left this fish to see if the Inner Province dared to fight with the Outer Province.

Looking at this situation, the Inner Province shouts loudly, but their confidence is still insufficient. They would rather compensate you with a territory than fight with the Outer Province."

Li Li Banfeng sighed: "If I had known it was a setup by Big Brother, I would have asked them for a few more pieces of New Land to see if they would agree."

Sun Sun Tiecheng laughed loudly upon hearing this: "Your spirit is really high. Do you know that you personally canonized a local deity!"

"Is that so?" Li Li Banfeng thought about the whole process of the event. He He Yuxiu was indeed personally canonized by him.

Li Li Banfeng laughed casually: "This doesn't count as anything."

"Doesn't count as anything?" Sun Sun Tiecheng looked Li Li Banfeng up and down. "A local deity is a feudal lord. Who do you think can canonize a local deity?"

Li Li Banfeng really didn't know about this matter.

Sun Sun Tiecheng didn't explain much, hummed a little tune, and turned to leave.

After packing up, Tang Tang Changfa handed the book apartment to Yan Qing'er to manage, took Yan Hong'er and Yan Yan Cuier, and followed Li Li Banfeng to leave Fool City.

Li Li Banfeng originally planned to take them on the train. With his strength, getting three anonymous travel passes wasn't a problem. Everyone could take the train back, and they wouldn't have to walk so hard.

But less than twenty li after leaving Fool City, Tang Tang Changfa started shivering. He didn't know how to take a step while walking, and didn't know how to open his mouth when speaking.

This wasn't nervousness; it was Tang Tang Changfa worrying that the Fool technique would fail, fearing that he didn't believe he was still alive, and fearing that he would slowly turn into a dead person.

Yan Yan Cuier shivered with Tang Tang Changfa. Yan Hong'er was strong and smart, pretending to be calm in front of Li Li Banfeng, but actually, she was also afraid in her heart.

Li Li Banfeng said to the three of them: "I walked out of Fool City, am I alive?"

The three nodded.

Li Li Banfeng said to the three of them again: "You walked out of Fool City, you must also be alive!"

Yan Yan Cuier nodded. She believed that what the shopkeeper said was true.

Yan Hong'er didn't speak. She felt this wasn't true, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.

Tang Tang Changfa really couldn't help it and still said it: "Shopkeeper, you are different from us."

Li Li Banfeng pretended to be surprised: "How are we different? We are the same when eating, the same when drinking,

the same when sleeping, the same when entering the sect, and the same when learning techniques. No matter what we do,

we have no differences, so aren't we the same people?"

Li Li Banfeng straightened out the cause and effect, and Tang Tang Changfa felt at ease in his heart. He thought they could walk to the station, but didn't expect that after walking another few dozen li, the three of them got sick again.

They had stayed in Fool City for who knows how many years. This couldn't be cured by using the technique once. If they were in this condition on the train, who knows how much trouble would arise. If they couldn't control themselves, they might very well tell others about the Fool City matter.

Let's walk New Land.

Li Li Banfeng took the three of them trekking in New Land, walking for a whole day. When they set up camp to rest at night, Li Li Banfeng was just about to return to the Leaving Suishenju when he smelled a burnt smoke.

A fire?

Li Li Banfeng walked out of the tent and followed the scent of the burnt smoke. After walking more than two li, he saw a man using several stones to build a stove and was adding firewood to the furnace.

Seeing Li Li Banfeng, the man stood up and clapped his hands: "The night wind is getting cold, I'm afraid you'll freeze, so I built a stove to keep you warm."

Li Li Banfeng laughed: "More than two li away, we really can't feel the warmth."

The man added some firewood: "You came, didn't you? I predicted you would come, so I built a fire here, waiting for you to come and get warm."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "You are quite a good person. What do you want to do by luring us over?"

The man answered very sincerely: "I want to fight you and decide the winner."

Li Li Banfeng said: "And after deciding?"

The man took out a contract: "If you win, I'll sign this contract, and the piece of land under my feet will belong to you to dispose of in the future."

Li Li Banfeng said: "If you win, He He Yuxiu's piece of land will belong to you, right?"

"I won't take that piece of land for nothing," the man took out another contract. "If I win, you sign this contract, and I'll exchange the piece of land under my feet with He He Yuxiu's territory. You won't be at too much of a loss."

Li Li Banfeng asked: "How should I address you?"

The man put away the contract, poked the stove fire, and laughed: "I like to build a stove and burn the fire brightly.

The territory under your feet is mine."

PS: August 1st is here. Minimum monthly tickets, give them all to Sala, thank you all readers!
