Family compound of the brigade, Building 1, Room 503.
Zhang Li opened the door and was somewhat surprised to see Guan Mingsheng standing outside. Then, a warm smile appeared on his face: "Master Guan, what brings you here? Please come in."
Although he never formally became Guan Mingsheng's apprentice, Zhang Li always remembered Guan Mingsheng's kindness in teaching him. Even though his cultivation had surpassed Guan Mingsheng's, he still respected him.
Despite his high position and status as a master of internal energy transformation, Zhang Li's home was not luxurious; instead, it exuded a simple and unpretentious atmosphere.
After being invited to sit down by Zhang Li, and accepting the tea that Zhang Li offered, Guan Mingsheng asked with a smile, "Where's Xiao Li?"
Zhang Li casually said, "Hey, the child's grades are uneven, and the high school entrance exam is coming up next year. It's a good opportunity to have some tutoring during the summer vacation so that he won't do too badly on the exam."
Guan Mingsheng nodded: "So, how's your work going lately?"
"It's all the same as always!"
Zhang Li replied, then suddenly said thoughtfully, "Master Guan, is there something you need today?"
Hearing Zhang Li bring it up, Guan Mingsheng breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had planned to ask Zhang Li for help, he still found it difficult to ask when the time came.
At this moment, Zhang Li continued, "It's alright, Master Guan. What kind of relationship do we have? Just let me know if you need anything."
"There is indeed something I need your help with!"
So Guan Mingsheng recounted the whole story.
After listening, Zhang Li frowned slightly: "Master Guan, what do you want me to do?"
Guan Mingsheng said, "Didn't the other party reject our invitation? I came here today to ask you to help deliver the invitation."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Li instantly understood Guan Mingsheng's meaning. That Gao Yan was unwilling to give face and refused the invitation. If this continued, the five families would definitely become mortal enemies in order to save face.
Clearly, none of the five families wanted to become mortal enemies with Gao Yan.
Then they asked this expert in internal energy to step in and force the other party to accept the invitation.
If the other party fails to pass through, Guan Lu can vent his anger; if he succeeds, the five families will bring fame to the other party, thus resolving the feud.
This matter will not escalate further.
As an official, he naturally did not want martial artists fighting and killing each other in the capital region.
Moreover, Guan Mingsheng had done him a favor, so both publicly and privately, he should agree to this.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, Master Guan, give me the invitation and I'll send it over for you right away!"
"Xiao Zhang, thank you so much!"
Guan Mingsheng said excitedly, "I didn't expect Zhang Li to agree so readily."
Inside the hotel.
Gao Yan walked out of the bathroom in his pajamas after taking a shower.
Zhuo Jiangyue was leaning against the headboard playing on her phone.
Seeing Gao Yan come out, Zhuo Jiangyue put her phone aside, then huddled under the covers, smiling as she asked, "Honey, can we keep going tonight?"
Gao Yan was taken aback, then felt challenged and pounced on Zhuo Jiangyue, pinning her down: "Little girl, you dare to underestimate me? You'll pay the price!"
"I was the one who woke you up this morning!" Zhuo Jiangyue reminded her.
"That's because I went to bed late last night!"
Gao Yan gritted his teeth and defended himself.
Who knows?
"Fine, then don't blame me for not being chivalrous tonight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yan lowered his head and captured those two moist lips, while two delicate arms wrapped around his neck.
Just as a major battle seemed imminent, the doorbell rang.
Who is it?
Gao Yan shouted impatiently.
"Mr. Gao, please forgive my late visit!"
A strong, resonant voice came from outside the door.
"Shall I go see who it is?"
Gao Yan got up irritably, put on the pajamas he had just taken off, walked out of the bedroom, and closed the door behind him.
Upon opening the door, they saw a tall, middle-aged man in his early forties, wearing a shirt and trousers, with a buzz cut, standing outside.
"Who are you? Do I know you?"
Gao Yan's tone was not very polite. Anyone who was disturbed at this crucial moment would not be in a good mood!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gao!"
Zhang Li apologized again: "I was asked to deliver this invitation to you!"
As they spoke, the other party pulled out a book of gold-embossed invitations.
"Is this never going to end?"
Upon seeing the invitation, Gao Yan was immediately filled with rage. Suddenly, his gaze fell on Zhang Li: "Huh, you're actually at the Transformation Realm!"
Strange, according to the information Tu Yun gave, none of the five families had a Transformation Realm martial artist, but the person in front of them was actually a Transformation Realm martial artist.
"You know me?"
Zhang Li asked instinctively, because he didn't think Gao Yan could see his strength and assumed that Gao Yan knew him.
"I don't know him!"
Gao Yan said irritably, "Alright, get out of here with this bullshit post. I'm here in Beijing for tourism, I have no interest in trying to pass any tests!"
Zhang Li frowned slightly, disliking Gao Yan's arrogant attitude. He felt that this young man was too arrogant, but thinking of Guan Mingsheng's request, he still suppressed his anger and advised, "Mr. Gao, as the saying goes, it is better to resolve enmity than to make it. As long as you accept the invitation and participate in the challenge, no matter the outcome, the grudges between us will be wiped clean!"
"No interest, no time!"
Gao Yan was too lazy to waste any more words with the other party and reached out to close the door, but a hand grabbed the edge of the door and prevented him from closing it.
"What, are you trying to force me to accept these invitations?"
Gao Yan narrowed his eyes, and his gaze toward Zhang Li turned hostile.
"Mr. Gao, please don't misunderstand. I'm just doing this on someone's behalf. Please do me the favor."
Zhang Li patiently explained.
