Like Xie Jie, Li Qi was most afraid of Xie Sanshu talking to him with a smile. He would rather see Xie Zhan with a cold face and a rage than see Xie Zhan smiling and in a good mood. Although, he had never seen Xie Zhan angry before. "Uncle Xie... I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."

"Let me think about it. I've already let you off the hook a few times."

"Uncle Xie!" Li Qi said anxiously, "You can't blame me for everything that happened before. Look, if Xie Jie is really determined, he won't get involved no matter what I say. So Xie Jie also has to take half the responsibility for all those times we skipped school and got into fights."

“Hmm…you make a lot of sense,” Xie Zhan said. “So today I’ve cut off one of your arms. If you have any objections, you can have your parents come and argue with me.”

Li Qi shouted immediately, "Uncle Xie! Don't be impulsive! I can't die yet!"

Feng Guang said, "It's just that I've cut off one of your hands. It won't kill you."

She thought Xie Zhan was actually able to scare this kid, and she wanted to teach this arrogant Li Qi a lesson, so she went along with Xie Zhan's words.

Li Qi said pitifully, "I am weak. If I lose an arm, I will definitely fall ill and become bedridden. There will be no cure. I will pass away soon. I am the only heir in our Li family. If I die, what will happen to our Li family's fortune?"

"No need to worry," Xie Zhan said. "Handing the money over to the national treasury to reward the army is a contribution your Li family has made to the country."

"Uncle Xie! You really don't..."

"Um?"

Li Qi paused for a moment, then changed his words, "Uncle Xie! You truly deserve to be called a great general of our country. You always put the country first and are a role model for us to learn from!"

"Third Uncle!" Xie Jie suddenly ran over. When he saw Li Qi who was bound, he asked in confusion, "Li Qi, what are you doing here?"

If we're talking about cronies, then Xie Jie and Li Qi are definitely the ones to be mentioned. If one of them makes a mistake, without a doubt, the other one is involved. For example, in the recent exam, Xie Jie moved up one place, from last to second to last. So, the last place was naturally Li Qi.

Li Qi chuckled dryly a few times. "I heard that praying to gods and Buddhas here is the most effective, so I came to join in the fun, hoping it will help me improve my exam results."

Xie Jie saw right through him. "It's because the Qixi Festival is coming soon, and recently there have been more young ladies coming to the temple to pray for marriage, so you came to join in the fun, right?"

It's common knowledge that Li Qi is fond of beautiful women, but his fondness for them is not simply lust. He believes that beautiful women are meant to be appreciated, and that is Li Qi's attitude towards life.

Xie Jie saw Feng Guang standing to the side, and then saw Li Qi tied up by his third uncle. He immediately punched Li Qi in the face, yelling, "Are you tired of living?! You dare to mess with my sister!"

This punch not only stunned Li Qi, but also left Feng Guang completely dumbfounded.

Li Qi's face flushed red on one side. He looked at Xie Jie with a wronged expression, "What do you mean? Didn't you say you didn't like your illegitimate sister? But today you hit me for her sake?"

What about their friendship as fair-weather friends!
