Chu Li suddenly appeared behind Grand Secretary Kang and punched two men in black. Then, a cold light flashed on his waist and two heads were cut off. Blood gushed out like a fountain.
Chu Li continued to swing his long sword and two more heads flew up along with the blood.
The remaining two black-robed men were finally killed by the Grandmaster. He directly smashed their heads into mush.
The whole house was filled with the smell of blood.
Grand Secretary Kang frowned and covered his nose. His face was pale.
He was tough and calm in the face of disaster, but he could not withstand the physiological impact. He wanted to vomit.
Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled, "You are frightened, Grand Secretary!"
"Thank you, hero. May I know who you are?" Grand Secretary Kang closed fist saluted and said.
Chu Li said, "I am a guard of the Yi Public House. Farewell."
He disappeared in front of the two and returned to the courtyard.
The courtyard was quiet. The commotion in the distance could be heard faintly.
Xiao Qi had already woken up, but she sat on the bed without moving. Although Mulin was an Innate Master, he was not vigilant and slept soundly.
The entire Grand Secretary Residence was in motion. The Protectors were dispatched to search for the fish that escaped the net.
Xiao Qi got off the bed and pushed the door to the courtyard. She saw Chu Li sitting in the pagoda and sat in front of him.
"Grand Secretary Kang's birthday banquet is not easy. Don't disturb Second Eldest Sister." Xiao Qi lowered her voice.
Xiao Shi's body was weak and she did not sleep well. Even a small movement could wake her up. If she could not sleep, her body would deteriorate.
Chu Li said softly, "Too many enemies."
Xiao Qi said lightly, "They are all people who bully the weak and fear the strong!"
Chu Li nodded.
It was human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong. Their enemies were Grand Secretary Kang and the High Duke's Public House. If they dared to go to the High Duke's Public House, the High Duke's Public House would definitely launch a storm of attacks and uproot them. Now that Grand Secretary Kang had retired, they dared to be arrogant. Otherwise, they would not have endured for so many years.
Footsteps came from outside and quickly stopped.
Chu Li disappeared in a flash and appeared in front of a group of Protectors. He closed fist saluted, "These three people are up to no good and have been executed. Please be careful. My Lady's body is not good. She will wake up easily."
"Is that Protector Chu?" The leader of the twelve guards was a middle-aged man. He lowered his voice, "Master has instructed us not to disturb the Young Lady's peace and quiet. We shall take our leave. Thank you Protector Chu for your help."
Chu Li gave a fist salute.
The guards picked up the three corpses and left quietly.
Chu Li appeared in front of Xiao Qi in a flash. Xiao Qi looked at him.
Chu Li said in a low voice, "There were three fellows who wanted to come here. I was afraid that they would disturb the Lady's sweet dreams, so I killed them."
"You …" Xiao Qi shook her head. "This is the Scholar's Residence. Don't mess around."
It would be troublesome if he killed the wrong person. After all, this was not his own mansion. Moreover, the other party might feel that he had overstepped his bounds and would be unhappy.
Chu Li agreed with a smile.
The next day, after dinner, Chu Li and Guo Mulin left the Public House and toured around Jing Hai Town. Siao Qi and Siao Shi went to see Grand Secretary Kang.
Although Jing Hai City wasn't big, it was bustling. The two of them ate lunch before returning to the small courtyard.
Siao Shi was playing the guzheng in the pagoda while Siao Qi was reading a book. The bamboo forest rustled and the small courtyard was quiet and elegant.
Seeing that the two of them had returned, Siao Shi pressed the strings of the guzheng and looked at him with a smile. "Chu Li, did you save Grand Secretary Kang last night?"
Chu Li smiled. "Yes, it was just a small favor."
"Grand Secretary Kang thanked you. Hey, these tiger paintings are for you." Siao Qi pointed at a purple lacquer box on the stone table. "They are all treasures and worth a lot."
"Tiger paintings?" Chu Li was overjoyed. He quickly went forward and opened the box. There were a total of six paintings.
He opened them one by one. Each of the tiger paintings had their own characteristics and were full of vigor. All of them were exquisite works of art.
Chu Li understood.
The artists of this world often used their own imagination to draw tigers. They condensed the fiercest existence in their impression into the tiger painting. It was the fiercest spirit.
Chu Li gained a lot from these paintings.
Seeing that Chu Li was grinning from ear to ear, Mulin took a few glances. He did not think that there was anything good to look at. He shook his head. "Instead of looking at this, why not look at the meridian diagram. What's there to look at?"
Chu Li smiled. "This vigor is so strong!"
Mulin did not think much of it. He smiled. "Grand Secretary Kang only gave me this? Isn't he too stingy? "
"What does Elder Mulin want?" Siao Shi smiled.
"As a Grand Secretary, you must have some rare ancient books right?" Mulin said, "Those are the real thing!"
"Elder Mulin wants to seal the Vitality Finger?" Siao Shi asked with a smile.
Mulin coughed awkwardly. "I just want to take a look."
Siao Shi said, "I've asked Grand Secretary Kang before. He has also heard of the Vitality Finger."
Mulin said disapprovingly, "Oh, as expected of a Grand Secretary. You even know about this."
"The Grand Secretary knows the world," Siao Shi smiled. "Not everyone can be called a Grand Secretary. Grand Secretary Kang has a photographic memory. He went through all the books in the Amethyst Light Pavilion. The books in the imperial court's Amethyst Light Pavilion are more abundant than our Public House!"
"Then does he know the solution to the Vitality Finger?"
"Yes, just like what Chu Li said."
"Is there no other way?"
"No." Siao Shi looked at Chu Li. "Chu Li, do you dare to help me?"
Chu Li smiled. "Why wouldn't I dare?"
Siao Shi said, "If Elder Mulin is diagnosed, if it's really the Vitality Finger, you will help me solve it!"
"I'll go back and figure out this Vitality Finger. I'll study it carefully." Mulin said. "What if it's not!"
Chu Li looked at the painting, smiled and shook his head.

Chu Li visualized the Art of White Tiger in his mind. A white tiger leaped into the void of his mind and made various postures to attract the invisible force from the void into his body, strengthening his body. As the aura of the white tiger grew, the invisible force in the void became more and more vigorous.
When he first saw the Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait, this invisible force was like a gentle breeze. Now, it had become a strong gust of wind. He could clearly feel that every time he cultivated, his body would become slightly stronger. After a long period of accumulation, he did not know how strong he would become!
In the following two days, the Grand Secretary's Residence was very lively, but there were no more assassinations. The failure of that group of people made those who were eager to make trouble understand that the Grand Secretary's Residence was not that easy to break into.
Chong Ming Town South Gate.
The passersby slowed down their footsteps and kept their mouths shut. They passed by silently.
A group of Protectors from the Public House surrounded a handsome middle-aged man. They were motionless and a murderous aura filled the air. The passersby did not dare to make a sound.
The handsome middle-aged man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He stood there quietly. His luxurious temperament was naturally revealed. People did not dare to look at him directly. It was the eldest master of the Yi Public House, Siao Tieying.
"Master, I'll send someone to take a look." The elder in the green robe beside Siao Tieying said in a low voice.
Siao Tieying waved his hand. "No need. Just wait for a while."
"… Yes." The elder with white eyebrows and beard said in a low voice.
This elder's eyebrows and beard were all white. His face was ruddy like a baby's. It showed that he had a profound cultivation level.
Siao Tieying said, "Linquan, when can you get the Longevity Grass?"
"Master, it's already on the way." Linquan said in a low voice. "It will probably take half a month to enter the Public House."
"Good, good!" Siao Tieying said. "There must be no accidents. After taking this, I believe that Second Younger Sister's body will recover!"
