The sun was bright and warm. Jiang Kuai wore a moon-white undergarment and sat lazily on a wooden armchair.
The armchair was placed at the foot of the steps of the gazebo, reflecting the sun.
In the gazebo, he could admire the rustling green bamboos and the blossoming flowers. He preferred to bask in the sun. When the sun shone on his body, he felt an indescribable warmth and comfort. His whole body seemed to melt and relax.
He squinted his eyes and occasionally opened them to glance at his wife, who was busy in the flowerbed.
Su Yuting rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white lotus-like arms. She was using a long pair of scissors to trim the flowers.
Although the flowerbeds had always been taken care of, they were not meticulous enough. They only removed the weeds and did not trim the flowers.
Jiang Kuai's heart was overflowing with happiness and warmth as he looked at her serious and focused face under the sunlight. Her face looked even more beautiful and pure.
This small courtyard was a world of its own, and no one disturbed it.
He used to find a place to relax in the depths of the mountains, but there was always a trace of nervousness in the depths of his heart. He was afraid that enemies would come looking for him, so he didn't dare to let down his guard and completely relax.
Now that he had arrived at the Public House and lived here, he finally experienced the feeling of being completely relaxed. He was carefree and carefree. Looking at Su Yuting immersed in the flowers, he felt even more happy and warm.
Just as he was thinking about this, the sound of footsteps came from outside, followed by a knock on the door.
"Who?" Jiang Kuai asked in a low voice.
Chu Li's voice rang out. "Brother Jiang, it's me, Chu Li."
"Brother Chu." Jiang Kuai got up and floated to the front door. He opened the courtyard door and chuckled. "Rare guest, please come in! Yuting, Brother Chu is here! "
Su Yuting straightened her back, combed her messy hair and smiled sweetly, "Young Master Chu, please come in!"
Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled. "You're welcome, sister-in-law. I'm looking for Brother Jiang for a drink. We haven't had a good chat since we entered the Public House."
"Then let's do it here." Su Yuting smiled and said, "I'll cook two dishes for you."
Chu Li shook his head. "There's no need for that. It's better to go outside."
He signaled Jiang Kuai with his eyes. Jiang Kuai understood tacitly and knew that something was up. He waved his hand and said, "You go ahead with your work. Let's go out for a drink."
"… Alright then. Don't drink too much wine. "Su Yuting warned," Don't mess things up. "
This was his first time here. If he were to make a mistake because of drinking, it would be disadvantageous for him in the future.
"I know." Jiang Kuai smiled and waved his hand. He went into the house to change his clothes.
The two of them left the courtyard and came to a pine tree. Jiang Kuai asked, "Brother Chu, what is it?"
Chu Li said, "Go and take a look at the two injured people."
"No problem." Jiang Kuai let out a sigh of relief. He thought it was something big that made Chu Li visit them personally.
Chu Li put a hand on his shoulder. "Then let's go!"
Jiang Kuai's vision was blurred. He could not see anything clearly, only the distorted light and shadow. A strong urge to vomit rose in his heart. He struggled for a while, but his body was stiff and he could not move.
His eyes lit up, and the urge to vomit intensified. He took a deep breath to suppress the churning in his chest. He quickly turned his head and looked around. He had actually arrived at the South Gate of the Public House. The two ferocious stone lions had left a deep impression on him.
He widened his eyes and looked at Chu Li, then at the woman in white who was standing quietly at the side. Although her face was covered by a white veil and her face could not be seen clearly, her figure was graceful and graceful, and her temperament was like that of a fairy. He could not turn his eyes away.
Chu Li coughed softly. "Brother Jiang. "Brother Jiang Kuai, this is the Third Lady."
As soon as Jiang Kuai met Xiao Qi's cold gaze, it was like a basin of cold water was poured on his head. Her white dress, graceful figure, and temperament caused the feeling to dissipate. He quickly closed fist saluted. "Greetings, Third Lady!"
Xiao Qi nodded slightly. "You're welcome. Protector Jiang, let's go. "
Jiang Kuai closed fist saluted.
He tactfully led the way in front, and Chu Li accompanied Xiao Qi at the back.
Jiang Kuai used his Light-body Technique. His feet were floating, and he was extremely fast.
He remembered the situation just now. After a few breaths. From his small courtyard to the South Gate of the Public House, the speed was shocking. He really could not imagine what kind of Light-body Technique it was!
Sure enough, there was always someone better than him. He always thought that his Light-body Technique was peerless and the best in the world, but now he knew that he was ignorant!
His body technique was extremely fast, and soon he arrived at the small courtyard where the incident happened last night.
Jiang Kuai came to the courtyard door and explained, "They are a couple. They just had a child, and the child has been sent to the Public House to be taken care of."
Xiao Qi nodded slightly.
Jiang Kuai opened the courtyard door and entered. There was a faint smell of blood.
Jiang Kuai brought the two to the bedroom in the main hall. The husband and wife were sitting on the couch, cultivating.
"Xiao Deng, Madam Deng, the Third Lady is here to visit you," Jiang Kuai said.
The two opened their eyes and looked at Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi said lightly, "Where are you from?"
The two were stunned. They looked at each other and remained silent.
Xiao Qi took a deep look at the young man, and her tone became calmer. "Phoenix Tree Faction?"
The two's expression changed slightly.
Jiang Kuai was surprised. "It can't be? … Could it be that they rebelled against the Phoenix Tree Faction? "
The ones who assassinated the two were disciples of the Phoenix Tree Faction, and they were also from the Phoenix Tree Faction.
Chu Li suddenly put his hands on Xiao Qi and Jiang Kuai's shoulders. In a flash, the three suddenly disappeared from the bedroom and appeared in the living room.
"Bang!" A muffled sound came from the bedroom.
Jiang Kuai hurriedly channeled to stop his body from shaking. He widened his eyes and looked at the bedroom.
Chu Li sighed. "It's really powerful!"
Xiao Qi said lightly, "It's impossible to guard against! … Let's go. "
"Third Lady?" Jiang Kuai did not know what happened.
Xiao Qi said, "Report to the government office."
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "They're the assassins who tried to kill Third Lady. It's a trick of self-injury. I'll have to trouble Brother Jiang Kuai to deal with the rest."
"A trick of self-injury?" Jiang Kuai was dubious.
Chu Li smiled, closed fist saluted and left.
Jiang Kuai stepped into the messy bedroom dubiously.
The wall was full of holes, as if it was caused by countless arrows. The bed was scattered in a pile. Other than that, there were only some broken pieces of cloth.
Jiang Kuai frowned. These pieces of cloth belonged to the couple just now. Their clothes were torn to this extent. What about them?
He looked carefully. There were a few pieces of debris left in the corner, like the debris of porcelain pieces. It was warm to the touch.
His expression suddenly changed. He spat out a mouthful of air and fled the bedroom in a hurry.
He rushed to the courtyard and greedily breathed in the fresh air. He finally guessed that the couple performed a secret skill similar to the Sky Demon Disintegration. They turned themselves into the most tyrannical force and exploded. Not even their bones were left!
He could not help but be afraid. No matter how powerful his Light-body Technique was, he could not escape this kind of disintegration secret skill. Especially in the narrow bedroom just now, there was nowhere to escape!

Chu Li and Xiao Qi floated away.
"Second Lady took the Longevity Grass. How is her condition?"
"There are no changes." Xiao Qi said, "Maybe the medicine needs some time to take effect."
"I want to meet Second Lady." Chu Li said.
Xiao Qi glanced at him. "You care about Second Sister!"
"The Longevity Grass is useless against the Vitality Sealing Finger." Chu Li shook his head. "It can't delay her decline."
"Second Sister doesn't see outsiders."
"Can't I see her too?"
"You don't think you're an outsider?" Xiao Qi looked at him lightly.
Chu Li said helplessly, "Is there really no way?"
Xiao Qi said, "Let me ask. She's not in a good mood now. She may not see you."
"Thank you, Lady!" Chu Li closed fist saluted.
