"Young —?" Su Ru cast a sidelong glance at him and said, "The Ren Public House has been strong for the past few years. There are more than ten of them. Our Public House only has eight. I'm afraid the rest of the Public Houses don't have more than ten!"
Chu Li frowned. "What about the martial arts sects?"
"There are four major sects that can produce one or two in a hundred years. As for the other sects, they can't even produce one in a hundred years." Suru shook her head and said, "Do you think it's that easy to reach the Grandmaster? Even with Miss's talent, isn't she still trapped there? "
Chu Li asked, "Is the Grandmaster's Boundary that difficult?"
"Of course it's difficult!" Su Ru smiled. "Don't hold on to such extravagant hopes. Your Martial Art is good enough. You're not really a Protector, so you don't need such strong Martial Art!"
Chu Li shook his head.
Su Ru said, "The key is still the individual's opportunity. The Grandmaster requires a strong power of understanding. Coupled with a flash of inspiration, that's the opportunity."
Chu Li frowned and remained silent.
Su Ru waved her hand and said, "You're getting off topic. Let's talk about the Second Lady. You're going there to gain some experience. Don't think about showing off. If you do, you might offend the Second Lady. That would be troublesome!"
Chu Li sighed. "I've already offended Master Xiao Tieying. If I offend the Second Lady as well, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this predicament, right?"
"With Lady Xiao around, of course I'll be able to make a name for myself." Su Ru rolled her eyes at him. "But you'll need to accumulate experience. Without twenty years, you won't be able to make a name for yourself."
Chu Li nodded slowly. It was indeed better to be safe than sorry.
Su Ru picked up a piece of crystal rib and put it into her mouth delicately. She chewed it slowly and swallowed it. She continued, "The Second Lady has six Grandmasters. If Lu Yurong really goes crazy, don't stand out. She'll send at least seven Grandmasters. No matter how strong you are, you won't be able to defeat them. Be smart and don't court death!"
Chu Li looked at her.
Suru looked around and rolled her eyes at him. "Your life comes first. You're an Innate Master, going against a Grandmaster is just throwing your life away!"
Chu Li smiled. "Thank you, Chief!"
He was a little moved. If they didn't have enough friendship, these words wouldn't be said. It was a taboo.
Suru put down her silver chopsticks and drank the wine in the white jade cup in one gulp. "I'm full. You can eat slowly. I'm leaving."
After saying that, she waved her hand and walked out of the pagoda. As usual, she came and went like the wind.
Chu Li quickly caught up to her.
Before Suru left the courtyard, she reminded him again, "I'll come over tomorrow to send you to see Second Miss. Get up early!"
Chu Li responded.

At daybreak, Chu Li and Xue Ling were cultivating when Suru, dressed in a light green gown, pushed the door open and entered.
Chu Li immediately stopped writing while Xue Ling went into the house to retrieve his bag.
"Let's go." Suru turned around and walked out.
Xue sent the two of them to the courtyard and stood outside the door, watching them until they disappeared into the depths of the forest.
Suru turned around and glanced at Xue Ling. Her feet were fluttering as she asked, "Xue Ling, you don't have to worry, do you?"
"Much better."
"She's stubborn, but you're good at torturing people. She's finally done it now."
Chu Li turned his head to look at her. "You're not thinking of replacing me, are you?"
"Do you want to trade?" Suru smiled faintly.
"I've just gotten used to it. How can I exchange it?" Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "The dishes she cooks are to my liking."
"This girl's temper is too bad. If it was someone else, she might have caused a lot of trouble!" Su Ru shook her head and sighed.
Chu Li smiled and did not say much.
The two of them boarded the small boat and sailed on the vast lake. After fifteen minutes, a pleasure boat appeared in the mist. The pleasure boat seemed to be moving slowly on the lake but it was actually moving very fast. The small boat only caught up after fifteen minutes.
A handsome young man stood on the boat, his blue gown fluttering in the wind. He gave a fist salute and laughed. "Chief Su Ru!"
Su Ru said, "Hai Qingshan, is the Second Lady on the boat?"
"Yes." Hai Qingshan nodded. "The Lady is resting inside."
"Chu Li, get on the boat." Su Ru turned her head and said, "This is Protector Hai Qingshan. You can follow him."
Chu Li nodded and floated onto the pleasure boat. He gave Hai Qingshan a fist salute.
Hai Qingshan was tall and burly. He had a handsome face. He gave a fist salute and smiled. "I'm Hai Qingshan. Brother Chu, I've heard a lot about you. It's a pleasure to finally meet you!"
Chu Li gave a fist salute and smiled. "I'm flattered. Please give me some pointers, Brother Hai."
"You're welcome. From today onwards, we'll be working together." Hai Qingshan smiled. "I'll bring you to the Lady!"
Chu Li nodded.
Su Ru's boat floated away.
Chu Li followed Hai Qingshan to the cabin. Hai Qingshan stood in front of the cabin and gave a fist salute. "Lady, Brother Chu Li has arrived."
His voice was very soft as if he was afraid of disturbing the person sleeping inside.
"Mm, let's speed up." A mellow and gentle voice floated out.
"Yes." Hai Qingshan replied respectfully.
Chu Li activated the Omniscient Mirror.
The pleasure boat's cabin was divided into two sections. In the first section, there were seven elders. They had white hair and a youthful complexion. They were not young. Chu Li could tell that six of them were Grandmasters and one was an Innate Master.
The second section was decorated elegantly. There was a graceful lady lying on the couch. Her eyebrows were like black ink and her eyes were like limpid autumn waters. She was unbelievably beautiful. Her beauty was enough to cause the downfall of a city!
She supported her head with one hand and read a book with the other. Her eyebrows showed signs of tiredness and her expression was languid.
She responded to Hai Qingshan casually and yawned. She put down the book and got up from the couch. She opened the window and took a deep breath of the fresh air. Her chest rose and fell violently.
Chu Li sighed. The first beauty of the Great Ji Dynasty really lived up to her name. Every frown, every smile, every movement of hers was beautiful.
She did not bring a maid with her. She must have known that the journey would be dangerous.
Chu Li quickly turned his attention to the elder Innate Master. It was Guo Mulin whom Su Ru mentioned.
The six Grandmasters were playing chess. Guo Mulin was sitting at the side with his eyes closed. He sat far away from them. His disgust was obvious. He did not fit in with the six Grandmasters.
Hai Qingshan said, "Brother Chu, you have to be prepared. We will be a Scribe on this journey. We will be serving people."
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "I am a Scribe!"
"Hehe, this Scribe of yours is the number one youth master in our Public House!" Hai Qingshan laughed.
Chu Li waved his hand. "They are just making a fuss. The number one master? What a joke!"
Hai Qingshan said, "Zhuo Feiyang is very powerful. I have fought him before."
Chu Li activated the Omniscient Mirror to see what Hai Qingshan was thinking. He realized that Hai Qingshan's words were sincere.
Hai Qingshan smiled. "Let's spar when we have time."
"Alright." Chu Li agreed.
