"Spies …" Xiao Qi furrowed her brows. "They are all trusted subordinates who have been tested. Otherwise, Big Brother would not have sent them."
"My Lady, you should know that people are fickle." Chu Li shrugged.
Xiao Qi sighed. "I really hope that your speculation is wrong."
"Let's give it a try then." Chu Li smiled. "They're back, right?"
"He came back yesterday."
"Young Master, shouldn't you reward me? Let's go join in the fun. "
"… Alright." Xiao Qi nodded slowly and sighed. "If you don't have any clues, you won't be able to find Jiang Kuai?"
Chu Li smiled bitterly and said, "My Lady, that will be troublesome. We have to investigate bit by bit … It all depends on Second Lady's luck!"
Xiao Qi sighed softly. "Second Eldest Sister is really unfortunate."
"It's not impossible. Lady, don't be discouraged." Chu Li comforted her.
He also felt that the Second Miss's fate was not good.
She was born in a rich and powerful family with unparalleled beauty. It could be said that she was the most beautiful woman in the world. However, she didn't have a good body and couldn't enjoy the benefits of wealth. It was more painful than reincarnating into an ordinary family.
It was not easy for him to find the Longevity Grass, and there was hope for him to recover. However, an accident happened halfway, and it was snatched away. No matter how he looked at it, it was bad luck.
However, he knew that the Longevity Grass alone could not cure Second Miss. If she was really congenitally deficient, she could recover immediately after taking the Longevity Grass. Unfortunately, she was hit by the Vitality Sealing Finger. No matter how magical the Longevity Grass was, without unlocking the Vitality Sealing Finger, her body was still weak.
However, regardless of whether it was useful to the Second Miss or not, the Longevity Grass was a legendary spiritual herb that could increase one's lifespan by 60 years. Its value was immeasurable. Since it was snatched away, of course, it had to be taken back. Even if the Second Miss couldn't heal her body because of the Vitality Sealing Finger, the medicinal effect was still there. As long as the Vitality Sealing Finger was undone, she could still increase her lifespan by 60 years.
Xiao Qi said, "Get ready. I'll bring you along tonight. I've combed through the residence once, and it's inevitable that no one will slip through the net. If you have time in the future, you can comb through the residence again."
"Yes," Chu Li replied.
Xiao Qi got up and left with Suru following closely behind her.

"Bam!" Siao Tieying smashed the teacup on the floor, shattering it into pieces.
With an ashen face, he said coldly, "You're all trash! Trash! "
The middle-aged man lowered his head and did not speak. His face was flushed.
Linquan, who was standing in the corner, also kept his mouth shut. Eldest Young Master was an impulsive person, and it was not appropriate for him to speak when he was in a rage. He would not listen to anything.
After walking back and forth for more than ten times, Siao Tieying sat down on the armchair. He panted heavily and scoffed, "Two Grandmasters and twenty Innate Masters couldn't even surround one Jiang Kuai. If he were to come and assassinate us, are we supposed to just watch and do nothing?"
The middle-aged man whispered, "Young master, this guy's lightness skill is too good, but his martial arts are not that strong. He won't be able to assassinate young master."
"Shut up!" Siao Tieying said coldly, "If you can't assassinate me, what about my sister?"
The middle-aged man immediately shut his mouth.
The Second Lady did not know any martial arts and had a weak and sickly body. Once Jiang Kuai got close to her, she would definitely die.
"I'm not asking you to catch him or kill him. I just want you to follow him. What about you? Huh?" Siao Tieying said in a low voice, "There are so many of us, but we can't even follow him. What should we do now? Where can I find him? "
The middle-aged man sighed.
It was really troublesome now. Jiang Kuai was as cunning as a fox. It would be difficult to find him again. They had to find a place to hide for a year and a half. They would be exhausted from running for their lives. They would not be able to live a good life!
He said dejectedly, "Young master, we were greedy!"
"You've ruined everything!" Siao Tieying said coldly, "This time, there's no hope for my sister anymore. What did I say? As long as we follow him, follow him, I'll send people to deal with him. What about them … Huh? What have you done! "
His eyes were cold and his chest was burning with anger. He wished he could give him a slap and beat these incompetent and spoilt them half to death in one breath!
His remaining rationality held him back. He was extremely disappointed and snorted coldly, "Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking!"
They were afraid that others would really catch Jiang Kuai, which would make them look incompetent. So they wanted to be the first to catch Jiang Kuai and take back the Longevity Grass to atone for their mistakes. In the end, they failed.
The middle-aged man lowered his head and did not say a word.
"Forget it. It's useless to say more!" Siao Tieying waved his hand and took a deep breath to suppress his anger. He snorted, "Come here tonight. I'll treat everyone to a drink. No matter what, everyone has worked hard!"
"Young master …" The middle-aged man looked up and said shamefully, "We really don't have the face to drink."
"Young? Cui?
Bi Ke? Jie Jie Ba Yi? Coal Meng Chao Chuan? Let's laugh.
"… Yes." The middle-aged man nodded helplessly.
"Get lost!" Siao Tieying waved his hand.
The middle-aged man was relieved. He quickly closed fist saluted, turned around and left in a hurry.
Siao Tieying stared coldly at his back and did not say a word.
The white-haired Linquan said in a low voice, "Young master, they lost their minds and did such a stupid thing … I can't believe that even two Grandmasters can't defeat Jiang Kuai!"
"Hmph, if Jiang Kuai was so easy to kill, he would've been killed by the Ren Public House!" Siao Tieying sneered, "They sent four Grandmasters but they couldn't do anything to him. They want to succeed with just two people. How stupid!"
"Young master, there's no need to be angry with these people. You'll hurt your health." The elder shook his head and said, "Now it's up to the Third Lady."
"Initially, they followed him and knew his whereabouts. Chu Li still had a glimmer of hope. Now that he's missing, where will he find him?!" Siao Tieying scoffed, "Looking for a needle in a haystack, it's futile!"
"Chu Li is a very powerful young man. He might be able to make the impossible possible." The elder smiled and said, "If a normal person suffered such a serious injury, even if they don't die, they'll be crippled. How long has it been for him to recover?"
"Fortunately, I didn't tell Third Younger Sister that I've been sending people to follow Jiang Kuai." Siao Tieying shook his head and said, "Or else, I don't know how she would mock and ridicule us!"
He originally wanted to surprise Third Younger Sister and gain her admiration. Third Younger Sister was too arrogant. She did not admire him as her big brother, which made him feel very unfulfilled.
Linquan smiled and said, "Now that the Third Lady dared to agree, she must have some confidence. It's up to Chu Li now."
"I hope he succeeds. If he really manages to get the Longevity Grass back, I'll reward him handsomely!" Siao Tieying said.
Linquan smiled and nodded, "If he really manages to find it, then he'll really be a genius."
—
Chu Li sat quietly at a table. Xue followed behind him to refill his wine at any time.
There were a total of seven tables in the hall.
One table was for Siao Tieying and Siao Qi. The other table was for Chu Li and three Grandmasters. The remaining five tables were for twenty Innate Masters. Chu Li's existence was very eye-catching.
They did not understand. Since Chu Li was young and not a Grandmaster, what qualifications did he have to sit at the same table with three Grandmasters?
However, there must be a reason for Master Siao Tieying's arrangement. They did not dare to ask further as they were criminals.
Siao Tieying quickly introduced everyone, "There's a new Glory's Will Courtyard in the Public House. Chu Li is the Chief of the Glory's Will Courtyard. He's responsible for eliminating traitors in the Public House. He's a rank four Scribe."
Everyone's face turned solemn. A rank four Scribe was indeed qualified to sit in that position. Moreover, he was responsible for eliminating traitors. That was a high position and power.
Chu Li gave a fist salute to everyone. Then, he picked up his wine glass and finished it in one gulp. He sat down without saying a word.
Xue stepped forward and filled the empty glass with a pot.
Everyone bowed and finished it.
From the beginning to the end, Chu Li's face was sullen. He did not say a word. Everyone had heard of Chu Li's name. He was famous and they did not dare to be careless.
When the banquet ended and only Chu Li, Siao Qi and Siao Tieying were left, Chu Li spoke.
"Master Siao Tieying, Lady Siao, there's indeed a spy." Chu Li's expression was solemn.
"Who?!" Siao Tieying hurriedly asked.
Chu Li looked at Siao Qi and sighed, "Senior Huang."
"Huang Qi?" Siao Tieying asked loudly.
