"I hope that Master Xiao Tieying will accept this," Chu Li said.
It was inevitable to be sad and disappointed. After all, they were Grandmasters with high status. They had never suspected them, but they did not expect something to go wrong.
More importantly, without a Grandmaster, the High Duke's Public House's strength was immediately weakened.
Suru's face darkened and she did not say a word.
Chu Li looked at her and frowned. "Chief, did something happen?"
"No." Suru shook her head and did not look at him.
Chu Li thought quickly. He was not in a hurry to activate the Omniscient Mirror. He frowned and said, "Huang Qi made a move. I think Lady Xiao Tieying and Master Xiao Tieying are involved. Is Lady Xiao Tieying injured?"
Suru looked down and drank her tea. She did not say a word.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "Is she really injured? Is it serious? Grandmasters are not Innate Masters. I'll go take a look! "
"What's the use!" Suru waved her hand and said in a low voice, "Lady Xiao Tieying is healing herself!"
"Not seriously injured?"
"Hmph, she almost died!"
Chu Li was confused. "Lady Xiao Tieying is close to the Grandmaster's Boundary. She can't be so seriously injured, right?"
The martial arts that Xiao Qi cultivated were extremely mysterious. Now, she already had a hint of a Grandmaster's shadow. If she were to encounter a Grandmaster, she would still be able to fight back. Huang Qi's cultivation level was not considered profound, so it was reasonable to say that his injuries would not be too serious.
Suru scoffed. "Lady Xiao Tieying did it to save Master Xiao Tieying!"
"Huang Qi dared to attack Master Xiao Tieying?"
"He's crazy. He knew that he would not have a good ending if he was exposed. He wanted to kill Master Xiao Tieying!" Suru said coldly.
These Grandmasters had a high status in the Public House. They were treated well but they were greedy. They wanted to steal things from the Public House. Once they were exposed, they wanted to kill. They were really ungrateful people!
Chu Li said, "Lady Xiao Tieying took a blow for Master Xiao Tieying?"
"Yes, Huang Qi was talking nicely when he suddenly attacked." Suru shook her head. "Lady Xiao Tieying was not prepared. She used her body technique to block Master Xiao Tieying and took Huang Qi's punch!"
"Where is the injury?" Chu Li asked.
"Lady Xiao took a punch from him," Su Ru sighed and said, "She didn't have time to circulate her power and her left arm broke!"
She shook her head and her face darkened.
Chu Li stood up and walked outside. "Bring me there!"
"What are you going to do there? Lady Xiao is meditating to heal herself. She won't see anyone!" Su Ru waved her hand and scoffed.
Chu Li did not stop walking. "I have some experience in healing. I can help Lady Xiao."
"What do you have in mind?" Suru got up and followed behind him.
Chu Li smiled and said, "I was heavily injured last time, but didn't I recover very quickly?"
"… Is there a way?" Suru looked at him doubtfully.
She had heard about Chu Li's previous attempt to save the Second Lady. He had almost lost his life, but he had indeed recovered very quickly.
The two of them had already walked out of the courtyard and into the forest.
Chu Li said, "I've cultivated a heart technique that specializes in healing injuries, and it's quite effective."
"Lady Xiao also has a special healing heart technique," Su Ru said.
Chu Li replied snappily, "Chief, would I harm the Lady?"
"… That's true." Suru pursed her lips and smiled. She nodded. "Alright, you are loyal. I don't know if Miss will see you. She said not to be disturbed."
Chu Li said, "Let's go!"

The night was dark, but the entire Jade Guardian Island was brightly lit as if it was daytime. Under the light, the pavilions and pavilions were richly ornamented. It was like a heavenly palace.
The two of them stopped at the second floor of the Stargazing Tower. Suru signaled for him to stop and wait for her to go up first. She then quietly went up to the third floor.
Chu Li had already activated the Omniscient Mirror.
On a couch on the third floor, Siao Qi was sitting cross-legged with her face as pale as a sheet. She was quietly channeling her inner energy. Her left arm was clamped with a board and wrapped with a white cloth.
Chu Li took a closer look. Her left arm was broken into pieces, and her meridians were destroyed. The other meridians were also dispirited and lifeless. Huang Qi's inner energy was extremely vicious!
When Su Ru walked up, he followed her up to the third floor and waved his hand at her.
Su Ru widened her eyes and stared at him.
Chu Li sat behind Siao Qi and placed both of his palms on her soft back. The Scripture of Life and Death gathered the spiritual energy of the plants and slowly infused it into her body, nourishing her meridians.
Su Ru was indignant, but she could only watch and did not dare to disturb him.
After about the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Siao Qi slowly opened her eyes.
Chu Li did not let go of his palms. He was still nourishing her body with spiritual energy. "Lady Siao, come to my side!"
Siao Qi's face was a little rosier. She felt that the inner energy from Chu Li's palms was pure and full of vitality. The recovery of her meridians was far better than her own Heart Healing Technique. Her injuries had stopped worsening.
Siao Qi's voice was slightly hoarse. "Go to your side?"
"Beside the Glory's Will Tree, it can help to heal." Chu Li said.
"… Okay." Siao Qi said.
Chu Li withdrew his palms and Siao Qi slowly got off the couch.
Su Ru rolled her eyes at Chu Li and quickly asked, "Lady Siao, are your injuries better?"
"Yes, it's okay." Siao Qi said.
Chu Li shook his head.
Siao Qi looked at Chu Li. "Let's go."
The three of them went downstairs and directly went to Chu Li's courtyard.
As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, Siao Qi felt a refreshing breeze blowing on her face. Her whole body relaxed a little. Before this, when she was not injured, she did not have such sensitive senses. Now that she was ill, her senses were even more acute.
Chu Li said, "Xue Ling, take out two cattail hassocks."
"Yes." Xue Ling responded and went into the living room to take out two cattail hassocks. She followed the direction of Chu Li's finger and placed them next to the Glory's Will Tree.
Siao Qi sat on one of the hassocks and Chu Li sat behind her.
Su Ru and Xue Ling stood at the side and watched quietly.
Chu Li closed his eyes and transferred the spiritual energy of the Glory's Will Tree into Siao Qi's body. At the same time, he circulated the Minute Pulse Cleansing Technique in her body.
Siao Qi let it be. She did not help or stop him. She just watched the inner energy flow and unknowingly fell into a state of oblivion.
When she suddenly woke up, she realized that the sky was already bright. The sun in the middle of the sky warmed her body and the original cold disappeared. Spiritual energy continuously flowed into her back.
She silently observed for a moment. Her meridians were full and strong. Most of her injuries were healed. Her left arm was still faintly aching. After all, the broken bones would not heal so quickly. It would take some time to recuperate. However, her meridians were unobstructed. If her meridians recovered, her bones would recover quickly too.
Chu Li slowly withdrew his palms.
Su Ru and Xue Ling who were sitting at the side got busy.
Xue Ling brought the porridge over while Su Ru poured out a pill from the porcelain bottle and passed it to Chu Li.
Both of them had not eaten for the whole night and the whole morning. They must be hungry. Moreover, Chu Li had been cultivating for a long time. He must be exhausted. Su Ru gave Chu Li a Energy Enhancement Pill to replenish his energy and also to calm his mind.
Siao Qi stood up and looked down at Chu Li.
Chu Li had already taken the Energy Enhancement Pill. He closed his eyes and adjusted his breath.
Su Ru quickly asked, "Lady Siao, how is it?"
Siao Qi nodded. "More than half recovered. … Let's go. Don't disturb Chu Li. Let him come at night."
"Yes," Su Ru quickly said.
Xue Ling said, "Lady Siao, have a bowl of porridge. We need to make it when we get back."
"Alright." Siao Qi came to the pagoda. Xue Ling put down the two bowls of porridge and looked at Chu Li worriedly.
Siao Qi said, "Don't worry. He's just tired. He'll be fine after a day of rest."
Xue Ling nodded lightly.
Siao Qi drank the porridge and looked at Chu Li.
