"Sigh …" Siao Tieying had already stood up. He looked at the entrance of the main hall and shook his head helplessly, "This Elder Zhao!"
He secretly cursed Zhao Qingshan for being cunning and unwilling to take risks.
Unsealing the Vitality Sealing Finger was risky, but Zhao Qingshan was the Chief High Official of the Public House. If he was not allowed to do it, who else could? He was not confident, and the others were even less so. He was the one with the lowest risk.
"Big Brother, let Chu Li do it," Xiao Qi said.
"Chu Li?" Siao Tieying was stunned. He sneered, "Him?"
"He can undo the Vitality Sealing Finger," Xiao Qi said seriously. "If it wasn't for him, who would know that Second Eldest Sister was hit by the Vitality Sealing Finger?"
"He can see it, but he might not be able to solve it." Siao Tieying said snappily, "If he wants to solve it, he'll have to become a Grandmaster first!"
"Although Chu Li is an Innate Master, he can kill a Grandmaster," Xiao Qi said coldly. "Moreover, in terms of inner energy, he's better than a Grandmaster!"
Siao Tieying could not help but laugh, "Little sister, what kind of magic potion did Chu Li feed you? The difference between a Grandmaster and an Innate is like heaven and earth. Inner energy surpasses a Grandmaster? Hehe, how dare you say that?! "
"Big Brother, do you think I'm spouting nonsense?" Xiao Qi scoffed.
Siao Tieying looked at her cold gaze. He opened his mouth and swallowed his words.
He lightly coughed, and sternly said: "Alright, even if what you said is true, and he really has such a deep level of inner strength, the key to unsealing the Vitality Sealing Finger is the precise control of inner strength. If there is even the slightest mistake, Second Sister will lose her life!"
Xiao Qi asked, "Does Big Brother think that he was lucky to be able to cultivate the Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait?"
Siao Tieying muttered to himself.
He had also practiced the Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait before, but he had not been able to master it. Although the Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait was powerful, it was like a pearl at the peak of a towering mountain. Not everyone could pluck it.
For Chu Li to be able to master it, he must have something stronger than him.
Xiao Qi scoffed. "The key to mastering the Art of White Tiger is the power of one's Primordial Spirit. Why is Chu Li able to read people's minds? Why can I read people's minds? It's because his Primordial Spirit is far superior to ordinary people! "
"Are you saying that his control over inner energy is more precise?" Siao Tieying frowned and asked.
Xiao Qi said slowly, "Do you think I'll treat Second Eldest Sister's life as a game? You're not using Elder Zhao, but Chu Li? Just because Chu Li is my man? "
"That's true." Siao Tieying said thoughtfully.
He believed in Third Younger Sister's feelings for Second Younger Sister, and he also believed that Third Younger Sister had always been fair and would not be biased. Although he thought too highly of Chu Li, Chu Li was indeed not an ordinary talent. He was worthy of his attention.
However, he was conservative in nature, so he could not ignore Chu Li's age. The accumulation of time was too important. There was a world of difference between a ten-year-old spirit herb and a hundred-year-old spirit herb. There was no shortcut. It was the same for humans. Experience and wisdom needed to be accumulated over time.
"But …" Siao Tieying sighed.
It was rational. Since Third Younger Sister strongly recommended Chu Li, there must be something good about him. Emotionally, Zhao Qingshan felt that Chu Li was too impulsive and unreliable. Zhao Qingshan tried every possible way to reject Chu Li, but Chu Li insisted on saving Third Younger Sister's life at all costs.
Chu Li had a good heart. However, emotional impulses could easily ruin things. Once something unexpected happened, it would be very difficult to think calmly and find a way to salvage the situation.
Siao Qi said, "Big Brother, do we have a better choice now? Elder Zhao will not agree anyway! "
Siao Tieying remained silent.
Siao Qi did not rush him. She just watched quietly.
The morning sun shone on the hall, making it bright and gentle. The birds outside were chirping incessantly, making Siao Tieying a little annoyed.
Time passed unknowingly. Siao Qi sipped her tea, looking relaxed.
After a while. Siao Tieying raised his head and sighed, "Third Younger Sister, I've decided to go to Fairy's Capital!"
"Fairy's Capital?" Siao Qi frowned, "Big Brother, are you going to beg the Emperor?"
"Yes, the safest way is to beg the Emperor!" Siao Tieying nodded slowly, "For Second Younger Sister, this is the only way!"
"The Emperor will not agree." Siao Qi shook her head, "If he really agrees, he will die of exhaustion. Won't he die of exhaustion? "
A Heavenly God Realm expert could do many things that were impossible for a Heavenly God Realm expert, including reviving the dead.
However, Enlightened Masters would never do such things. Enlightened Masters valued the karma of the world more and were more afraid of it.
Enlightened Masters were not invincible. Their opponents were the rules between heaven and earth. If they violated the rules, they would be punished and there was no way to escape.
If the Emperor agreed to save Second Sister, it was obvious that all the Public Houses would come to the Emperor to beg him.
Siao Tieying said, "How would we know if we don't beg?"
"Sigh …" Siao Qi shook her head, "If Father comes out of isolation, he will beat you to death!"
"He-? Hmph! "Siao Tieying scoffed," The Public Houses' reputation is not that valuable! "
The Public Houses' reputation and Second Younger Sister's life were clearly more important. As an incompetent father, how could he have the face to punish him!
"… Alright, it's good to try." Siao Qi nodded slowly.
Although she believed in Chu Li, he only had a sixty percent chance of success. If it was the Emperor, an Enlightened Master, he should have a hundred percent chance. It was best not to take the risk and Chu Li could understand.
"I'll leave today. The Public Houses are all depending on you." Siao Tieying scoffed, "This time, Chu Li made a contribution to the Phoenix Tree Faction. Remember this and reward him next time. … If this goes on, he will soon reach rank two!"
Siao Qi nodded lightly.
Siao Tieying sighed, "If he can destroy the Phoenix Tree Faction, he can stop for a few days."
Siao Qi nodded.
Destroying the Phoenix Tree Faction would probably give a shock to the martial arts factions that were ready to make trouble.
In recent years, with the decline of the Public Houses, the martial arts factions within the borders were ready to make trouble. They wanted to challenge the prestige of the Public Houses. The destruction of the Phoenix Tree Faction would probably give them a bucket of cold water to wake them up and let them know what was good for them.
She estimated that she could make these martial arts factions behave for a year.
Siao Tieying said, "I'll leave today and travel day and night. I estimate that I can reach Fairy's Capital tomorrow and come back after three days. Look after Second Younger Sister. Don't let Chu Li mess around!"
He was afraid that Chu Li would be impulsive and take advantage of his absence to act first and report later.
Siao Qi said impatiently, "Don't worry. What kind of person do you think Chu Li is?"
Siao Tieying shook his head and said no more.
A person who was blinded by love would not have any rationality. He believed that Chu Li was infatuated with Second Younger Sister. That was why he risked his life to save her. That was why he was so eager to release the Vitality Sealing Finger.
When Siao Qi returned to the Stargazing Tower, Chu Li was waiting there. He sat on the third floor and drank tea while chatting with Su Ru.
When he saw her return, Chu Li looked at her eagerly.
Siao Qi shook her head.
Chu Li sighed, "Master Xiao Tieying doesn't agree?"
"Big Brother wants to beg the Emperor," Siao Qi said.
Chu Li let out a long sigh.
Siao Qi glanced at him, "Not disappointed?"
Chu Li smiled, "If the Emperor can make a move, that would be great!"
"You are very concerned about Second Elder Sister," Siao Qi said faintly, "That's rare."
Chu Li smiled embarrassedly, "It's not my turn to care about Second Lady."
"It's good that you understand." Siao Qi looked at him coldly.
Su Ru was very good at reading the situation. Seeing that Lady Xiao Tieying was not in a good mood, she quickly changed the topic, "Lady Xiao Tieying, the Imperial Treasury sent a few things. They said that Master Xiao Tieying wanted to give it to Lady Xiao Tieying to play with."
"What are they?" Siao Qi sat on the couch.
Su Ru said, "There are two treasured swords, two treasured blades, and three secret manuals."
"Forget about the blades. Send them back but leave the secret manuals." Siao Qi looked up at Chu Li, "Let Chu Li pick one of the swords."
"Yes." Su Ru got up and opened the purple cabinet. She took out two long swords with dark green scabbards and placed them on the coffee table.
"The Phoenix Tree Faction handed them over." Siao Qi said, "You pick one and pick another secret manual later."
"Thank you, Lady." Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled, "Forget about the secret manual. I won't be polite with the swords."
