Siao Tieying scoffed, "The Ren Public House is getting more and more out of hand. If it wasn't for Third Younger Sister, Second Younger Sister would have been dead. Lu Yu Rong has really gone crazy!"
"Master, I don't think her target is the Second Lady. The key is our Grandmasters. They sent seven Grandmasters over. It's obvious that they want to get rid of our Grandmasters!" Elder Linquan said.
"Yes, Third Younger Sister thinks so too." Siao Tieying scoffed, "She really thinks we're made of mud!"
"Master, it's not the right time to start a war!" Linquan said softly.
Siao Tieying said, "We have to teach Lu Yu Rong a lesson. She's too reckless!"
"They've suffered heavy losses this time. They've lost a Grandmaster. Their strength has been greatly reduced. At least they've vented their anger!" Linquan smiled, "Congratulations, Third Lady. You have such a talented subordinate!"
"Hmph, this Chu Li!" Siao Tieying frowned.
Linquan said, "Master, do you have any concerns?"
"He's young and not mature enough. Plus, he's only been in the Public House for a short time." Siao Tieying said, "I don't feel safe using him."
"He risked his life to save Second Lady." Linquan smiled, "There's no doubt that he's loyal. As for being mature, he's still young. It's not a good thing to be too mature."
"That's true." Siao Tieying nodded slowly, "I'm being too harsh. No matter what, I have to reward him for saving Second Younger Sister!"
Linquan smiled, "I'm sure Third Lady will reward him well. Master, you don't have to worry."
"Siao Tieying … this Third Younger Sister!" Siao Tieying said helplessly, "I can't do anything about her!"
"Third Lady has put in a lot of effort." Linquan said, "Third Lady is talented enough. Master, why do you have to bear all the burden? It's not a bad idea to let Third Lady share her burden."
"Among the four of us, Third Younger Sister has the highest talent in martial arts. Although Fourth Younger Brother is good, he's still far behind Third Younger Sister. We'll have to count on Third Younger Sister in the future but she has to be distracted by mundane tasks!" Siao Tieying shook his head and sighed, "There's no point persuading her!"
In order to step into the Heavenly God Realm, the most important thing was one's comprehension and talent. Although he and his fourth brother's talent was not bad, it was far from his third sister's. They had no hope of reaching the Heavenly God Realm, but his third sister had a chance.
Once they stepped into the Enlightened Mastery's Boundary, the High Duke's Public House would no longer have to worry. No one would dare to provoke them. Even the Imperial Family would not dare to touch the Xiao Clan. This was the real help to the High Duke's Public House.
Although he was tired, he was still in the prime of his life, so he could still bear it. However, Third Sister didn't agree with his idea and kept distracting him. He knew she was doing it out of kindness, which made him angry and helpless.
Lin Quan smiled and shook his head.
The four siblings were very close to each other. Perhaps it was because the High Duke had always been in isolation and their mothers were no longer around, so they supported each other and had a deep bond.
Moreover, there were no conflicts of interest. The eldest son inherited the House of High Duke, the youngest son was a martial arts fanatic, the Second Lady had a delicate body, and the Third Lady had an unworldly heart. They worked together to reverse the decline of the House of High Duke.
"They're here!" Siao Tieying suddenly shouted.
In the distance, a cloud of yellow dust rose up from the main road as a group of people slowly approached. It was Xiao Shi, Xiao Qi, and the others.
Siao Tieying could not wait to welcome them.
Xiao Qi's white robe was still spotless and her expression was cold. She got off her horse in front of Siao Tieying and looked around, "Big Brother, what's with such a big crowd!"
Siao Tieying smiled, "You've done a great service this time, of course, we have to welcome you!"
Xiao Qi knew what he was talking about. Her expression was calm, "It's alright."
Xiao Shi opened the curtain of the carriage, revealing her face with a white veil. She looked around and raised her voice in dissatisfaction, "Big Brother, why did you bring so many people? Let's go back to the House!"
"Yes, yes, let's go back!" Siao Tieying quickly nodded and asked carefully, "Second Sister, how's your body?"
"Yes, it's quite good." Siao Shi put down the curtain and sat back down.
Siao Tieying followed beside the horse carriage and walked together with Xiao Qi. His eagle-like eyes swept across Hai Qingshan and Chu Li, stopping on Chu Li's face.
Chu Li closed fist saluted.
Siao Tieying nodded and turned back to talk to Xiao Qi.

When Xue Ling saw that Chu Li had returned, her expression was cold. She only made a few more dishes and a jar of wine. She served him attentively but did not show any happy expression. It was as if she did not care about him coming and going.
Chu Li raised his cup and gently swirled it. The white jade cup reflected the green wine. It was full of vitality. He could not help but have the urge to drink it all in one gulp. He wanted to drink the vitality together with it.
"Did anything happen these few days?" Chu Li asked casually.
The breeze was gentle and the bright moon shone its light. The scenery of the courtyard was beautiful. The bamboo forest at the west corner rustled like the sound of nature.
Xue Ling was dressed in a spotless white robe. Her face was cold, "Nothing much. Oh, right, Master's good friend is in the limelight."
Chu Li glanced at her.
Xue Ling said, "Sister Zhao Ying."
"What happened to her?" Chu Li frowned.
Xue Ling said, "Someone was causing trouble in the Leisure Cloud Pub. Sister Zhao Ying made a move and broke the legs of more than ten people."
"Who were they?" Chu Li scoffed and said impatiently, "Tell me everything in one breath!"
"It seems that a group of disciples from the Phoenix Tree Faction came to the Leisure Cloud Pub and teased the maid of the pub. They angered Sister Zhao Ying. Sister Zhao Ying broke all their legs and threw them outside the pub. Their screams were terrifying … I heard that the business of the Leisure Cloud Pub is even better now!" Xue Ling said everything in one breath.
Chu Li frowned, "Is it really Sister Zhao Ying?"
"It can't be wrong. I've confirmed it!" Xue Ling nodded hard, "Master doesn't believe me?"
Chu Li scoffed, "It seems that those people went too far!"
Sister Zhao Ying's temper was very soft. She was not suitable for the martial arts world. She would not make a move easily. To be able to break their legs in a moment of anger, this group of people from the Phoenix Tree Faction must have done something wrong. They must have really angered Zhao Ying for her to be so heavy-handed.
Xue Ling said, "The Phoenix Tree Faction is also considered a big faction. They dared to be presumptuous in the town. Of course, their martial arts are not bad. I heard that they have a few innate masters. In the end, they were still taken care of by Sister Zhao Ying. Sister Zhao Ying's reputation is now very good."
Chu Li nodded thoughtfully.
Zhao Ying's Swallow Blade Technique was exquisite. She had a deep understanding of it. In addition to her innate mastery, the average innate master could not beat her.
He glanced at Xue Ling and smiled, "You are very envious of Sister Zhao Ying, right?"
"Master, when can I be like Sister Zhao Ying?" Xue Ling's bright eyes stared at him.
"If you want to break through to the innate mastery's boundary, it will be much more difficult than Sister Zhao Ying. Take your time."
Xue Ling looked disappointed and sighed.
"I'll help you circulate after eating." Chu Li drank his wine.
Xue Ling filled his cup. Her cold face showed a smile, "Thank you, Master!"
She had been persisting in practicing hard these days. However, the result made her feel even more hopeless. She had been practicing hard these days, but it was not as good as Master helping her practice for a night. The gap between people was too big. One was heaven while the other was earth. Heaven was unfair!
