"It doesn't matter!"

Princess Ziling now gets angry when she thinks of the alcoholic madman, with a hint of resentment in her tone.

"Let me guess, this should be your first time in Mortal City, and the person who tricked you must have a close relationship with you. Could it be your master?"

The shopkeeper took a sip of tea and said slowly.

Hearing this, Zhang Yi and Princess Ziling both looked at the shopkeeper with some surprise. Being able to judge the relationship between the drunken maniac and them based on this few information, the shopkeeper of the Fireworks Tower had some real abilities.

"Don't speak? It seems that I guessed it right. This method reminds me of a person. People of their lineage often do this kind of thing."

At this time, the shopkeeper put down the tea cup in his hand, suddenly stood up and looked at Zhang Yi and Princess Ziling with interest.

"That lineage?!"

Zhang Yi and Princess Ziling both looked at the shopkeeper with puzzled faces.

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said with a look of reminiscence on his face: "Every time people from that lineage enter the Mortal City, they always turn the Mortal City upside down, but the one thing that remains the same every time is that they always come to my Fireworks Tower for a meal!"

"Master cheating on his apprentice is simply a traditional craft of that line."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi and Princess Ziling looked at each other, wondering whether the alcoholic lunatic knew the shopkeeper, and the style of work mentioned by the shopkeeper was indeed similar to what they had experienced.

"Is it possible that Master has been tricked by his master before?"

Zhang Yi couldn't help but feel doubtful, but he didn't know who the alcoholic madman's master was and what role he played in Tianqing Holy Courtyard.

Just when Zhang Yi was thinking wildly, the shopkeeper filled up the two teacups in front of him, stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down and try this fireworks tea."

"Do you want money?"

Zhang Yi sat on the cold golden chair, raised his head and asked.

"Hahaha, I invite you!"

The shopkeeper laughed and waved his hands.

Zhang Yi and Princess Ziling then picked up the tea in their cups and took a sip of it calmly. A heart-stirring feeling echoed in their hearts. They could not forget it for a long time, "Good tea!"

"Tell me, what kind of business do you want to do with me?"

The shopkeeper asked straight to the point.

"We, brother and sister, are new to Mortal City and are not familiar with it, but I am pretty good at it. I wonder if the city lord has any troubles that need to be solved?"

Zhang Yi had no business to discuss with the shopkeeper. All this was just an excuse to see the shopkeeper.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper threw his head up and laughed, and the laughter spread throughout the room.

"You are exactly the same as your master before!"

The shopkeeper seemed to have determined the identity of Zhang Yi and the others, "Well, I have dealt with your lineage. According to the tradition of your lineage, you go to the martial arts gym to box!"

"This is the fastest way to make money, but starting from today, each of you will receive an additional one hundred taels of interest per day!"

The shopkeeper is indeed a businessman, and he is talking about huge interest rates.

"Martial Arts Hall?"

Zhang Yi didn't even have time to think about interest, but he was a little curious about this martial arts dojo.

"Two hundred taels of interest per person per day? Why don't you go and grab it?"

Princess Ziling couldn't bear it and asked.

"Little junior sister!"

Zhang Yi gently interrupted Princess Ziling. He knew that if they did not want to be sent to the mine or Qing/Lou, their only choice was to go to this martial arts dojo. It should be said that they had no choice, this was the only way.

"Your senior brother is more sensible."

The shopkeeper nodded with some appreciation and explained: "The martial arts gym is the property of Erniang of Xizhai. It is divided into victory and defeat, as well as life and death. The competition will be opened at that time."

"The two of you will help me fight ten games and the accounts will be cleared. Of course...if you die in the martial arts field, then it will be my loss."

The shopkeeper said calmly.

"The accounts have been wiped off in ten games?"

Zhang Yi probably knew the reason why the alcoholic maniac tricked them. It turned out that he wanted them to hone their Taoism between life and death.

"Ten games each!"

The shopkeeper emphasized.

"No, it's okay for me to help you fight ten games, but not for my little junior sister!"

After all, Princess Ziling's physical strength is limited, and Zhang Yi cannot let her take this risk.

"Then she has no value to me."

The shopkeeper spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Elder brother, I can do it!"

At this moment, Princess Ziling suddenly said seriously.

"Senior Brother, I am not as weak as you think. I have also tempered my physical body."

Princess Ziling didn't want to be a burden in the mortal city, and she was destined to face some things with Zhang Yi.

The shopkeeper clapped his hands and said, "Okay, this is the character your lineage should have."

"But speaking of which, your lineage has always been a single lineage. Why are there two disciples this time?"

The shopkeeper asked curiously.

"Shopkeeper, which bloodline are you talking about?"

Zhang Yi and Princess Ziling looked at the shopkeeper curiously at the same time.

"You can just ask your master later. I don't know much. After all, I have only dealt with your lineage once."

The shopkeeper shook his head and seemed unwilling to dwell too much on this matter.

"Each of you will play ten games on behalf of the Fireworks Tower. No matter you win or lose, this account will be written off. It's settled!"

The shopkeeper immediately decided on the business and stopped mentioning the interest.

"Do I have any other choice?"

Zhang Yi shrugged helplessly. He was not worried about himself, but Princess Zi Ling. This was no joke.

"You don't have to worry too much. The martial arts field is divided into men's field and women's field. Women's strength is relatively weaker. With the strength of your lineage, it should not be a problem."

The shopkeeper seemed to see Zhang Yi's worries and couldn't help but comfort him.

"You should rest well in the fireworks building tonight. I look forward to your performance tomorrow. Don't let me down, otherwise you will pay the price of your life!"

The shopkeeper reminded meaningfully.

"Waiter! Take them to the best room and entertain them with the highest standards!"

The shopkeeper gave an order, and the previous waiter immediately came to the door to greet them.

The shopkeeper watched Zhang Yi and Princess Zi Ling leave the room, with a meaningful smile on his face, "I've made a fortune! I don't know how much I'll make from ten games! I didn't expect that people from this lineage would show up so quickly this time."

The shopkeeper clearly remembered that he had made a lot of money by relying on the martial arts arena, and this time he wanted to accumulate more wealth through Zhang Yi and Princess Zi Ling.

"But these two people look fragile, so we have to be careful in the first game."

The shopkeeper has already started to calculate tomorrow's game in his mind, and he is in a good mood about it. It seems that he has seen countless money pouring into his pocket. It is true that when you sit at home, wealth comes from the sky. This is simply the most cost-effective deal.

Only 1,300 taels were used to exchange for two invaluable thugs.
