"What are the benefits of being a Protector?" Jiang Kuai asked.
He felt that most people who practiced martial arts could not stand being restrained. It was too frustrating to listen to others' orders. There must be great benefits for people to do it.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled, "There are no other benefits!"
"Hmm —?" Jiang Kuai was surprised.
Chu Li said, "There are no other benefits besides stability."
"It can't be?" Jiang Kuai frowned, "If there are no benefits, who will be ordered around?"
Chu Li smiled, "Maybe there is a benefit. You can get promoted."
"Promotion …" Jiang Kuai muttered.
Chu Li said, "Just like my Glory's Will Courtyard, you just joined. Of course, you have to start from the lowest level. If you do well, you can go up."
"People who practice martial arts are not officials!" Jiang Kuai snorted.
Chu Li smiled. "Just like the Glory's Will Courtyard, they have a Scribe Commander, Protector Commander, and Deputy Commander. If you become the Commander, you can naturally order others around, but … Do everything personally, or just give an order and someone will naturally do it for you. Which is more comfortable?"
Jiang Kuai shook his head.
Power was a great temptation. How many people could resist it?
Chu Li said, "Alright, Brother Jiang Kuai, my lips are dry. Just give me a straightforward answer. Are you going to enter the Public House or not?"
"Can I trust you?" Jiang Kuai said, "Don't try to trick me into joining."
Chu Li laughed, "To be honest, if I wanted to harm you, do I need to talk so much? Why did I need to inform you? I could just watch from the side. … Moreover, I treat you with sincerity. If not, I only need to make a move when they succeed. Brother Jiang Kuai, won't you be grateful? Do you still need me to persuade you? "
Jiang Kuai showed a smile.
This made him trust Chu Li even more. If Chu Li was playing a trick and waited until he was in trouble to lend him a helping hand, then out of gratitude, he would not have anything to say and would immediately agree to it.
"Husband, why don't we enter the Public House?" Su Yuting said softly.
Jiang Kuai looked at her.
Su Yuting could see that her husband was moved but he could not bring himself to say it. She could only say it. Even if he would blame her in the future, she could not care so much. This was a rare opportunity!
"Yuting. If we really enter, our days might not be as good as now! "Jiang Kuai sighed.
Su Yuting smiled and said, "As long as we are together, anywhere is the same!"
Chu Li smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, the danger in the High Duke's Public House is far less than what you are now!"
"Sigh …" Jiang Kuai let out a long sigh. Slowly, he said, "Fine, I'll enter the House of High Dukes!"
Chu Li clapped and smiled. "Congratulations, Brother Jiang. You won't regret it!"
Jiang Kuai shook his head. "Who knows?"
"There are countless people who want to enter the High Duke's Public House, but how many of them can actually get in?" Chu Li laughed. "Brother Jiang, you don't know how lucky you are! … Let's set off now and return directly to the mansion! "
"No problem!" Jiang Kuai agreed immediately.

In the early morning, a thin mist rolled over the surface of the lake like a veil.
Chu Li breathed in the fresh and moist air and stepped into the Stargazing Tower.
Su Ru was standing in the main hall. Her apricot yellow gown made her face look like white jade. She smiled like a flower as she looked at him. "Have you succeeded?"
Chu Li smiled. "Fortunately, I didn't fail you!"
"Alright! Alright! "Su Ru waved her hand." Hurry up and go see Lady Xiao. She has been waiting for you! "
The two of them went up to the third floor. Xiao Qi was sitting cross-legged on the bed to meditate. The cast on her left arm had been removed. From the outside, no one could tell that she was injured. She gently closed her eyes. She was solemn and quiet, like the Goddess of Mercy sitting on a lotus.
As soon as Chu Li stepped into the third floor, she opened her eyes.
Chu Li took out the jade box and handed it over with both hands. "Lady Xiao, the Longevity Grass!"
Su Ru took it and brought it to Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi said, "Open it."
Su Ru opened the box. Inside was a green grass. At first glance, it looked similar to ordinary weeds but it was four to five times thicker than weeds. The exuberant green revealed vitality. At first glance, one could tell that it was not an ordinary thing.
"Now Second Eldest Sister can be saved!" Xiao Qi sighed softly.
Chu Li shook his head. "It's useless."
Xiao Qi glared at him.
Chu Li said, "With the Vitality Sealing Finger, even ten Longevity Grass can't save Second Lady!"
"Shut up!" Xiao Qi said lightly, "Big Brother doesn't want to hear this!"
Chu Li sighed and nodded helplessly.
His words carried little weight. His medical skills had only been learning from Mulin for a month. No matter what, he could not win people's trust.
"Lady Xiao, I've recruited Jiang Kuai into the Public House!" Chu Li said.
"Hmm —?" Xiao Qi opened her eyes slightly.
Su Ru smiled and said, "Really? Someone like Jiang Kuai can be recruited? "
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "He's different now. He has a wife, so he wants to live a stable life. He also offended the Ren Public House and was almost punished by them. "
"Jiang Kuai's Light-body Technique is superb. He's a useful talent." Xiao Qi nodded slightly. "It's a great achievement that you can recruit him."
Chu Li smiled. "It's a pity that he can't be used by me."
"Go and rest. I'll handle the rest," Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li fist saluted and turned to leave.
Xiao Qi looked at the Longevity Grass and felt the vitality. She knew that it was not fake. She closed the box and went to Iron Eagle Island.
The Public House was particularly lively in the morning. It was livelier than usual. Boats came and went on the lake.
She and Su Ru stepped into the backyard of Iron Eagle Island. Siao Tieying was cultivating in the backyard. His palm energy was spreading and his whole body was purple. There was no one beside him to serve him.
Seeing Xiao Qi coming, Siao Tieying was surprised and stopped cultivating. She must have something to do to come at this time.
"Big Brother, the Longevity Grass is back," Xiao Qi said.
Siao Tieying was stunned and overjoyed. "You found it?!"
Xiao Qi glanced at Su Ru. Su Ru held the jade box with both hands and presented it to Siao Tieying.
Siao Tieying opened the jade box and suddenly laughed. "It really is the Longevity Grass!"
He could not help but caress the jade box. A warm and cold feeling came from his palm. It calmed him down a little. He sighed. "God never forgets man. Second Younger Sister can be saved!"
Xiao Qi nodded slightly.
"Chu Li found it?"
"Yes."
"Good boy, you're really good!"
Xiao Qi said. "But Chu Li insisted that Second Elder Sister was hit by the Vitality Sealing Finger. The Longevity Grass is useless!"
"Hmph!" Siao Tieying snorted. "He's really stubborn!"
Xiao Qi shook her head. "Forget it. Let's not care about him. Let Second Elder Sister consume it as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes." Siao Tieying smiled again. "Let Second Elder Sister consume it in the morning!"
He closed the jade box excitedly and said, "This boy is really good. I can't not reward him! It's a little too fast to rise another rank. Third Younger Sister, what do you think we should reward him? "
"Didn't you want to rise a rank before? Are you going back on your words?" Xiao Qi frowned.
"If it's someone else, it's not a big deal to rise a rank. But Chu Li is now rank four. It's already shocking. It's not good for him to rise again." Siao Tieying shook his head.
"I think it's okay." Xiao Qi said coldly.
"Alright, since you insist, then let's rise a rank!" Siao Tieying said helplessly. "What reward?"
"There's a piece of tiger bone in the Public House …" Xiao Qi said. "Give it to him!"
"Spirit Tiger Bone?" Siao Tieying showed a pained expression. "This …"
"Big Brother really can't bear to give it to him. Let him enjoy it for a while." Xiao Qi said.
"What's the use of the Spirit Tiger Bone?" Siao Tieying was hesitant. He asked doubtfully, "Is he going to eat it? This thing can't be used as medicine! "
