"The Phoenix Tree Faction doesn't have any good secret manuals, so pick a treasure sword." Xiao Qi said lightly, "You should change your sword."
His Light-body Technique was top-notch. If it was matched with a treasure sword, the power of a sneak attack would be even more amazing.
Chu Li picked up the sword on the left. The dark green scabbard was heavy in his hand. The steady feeling spread from his hand to his body, and it blended with his body. Chu Li immediately liked it.
He slowly pulled out the sword, and the gray sword body slowly revealed itself. The sword body seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, and there was no light. It looked more like a wooden sword, giving off a light feeling, but it was heavy in his hand. It was steady and steady, simple and unsophisticated.
He focused and looked at it. There were two small words engraved on the blade, "Modesty."
"With the light and dust?" Chu Li muttered.
Su Ru glanced at the long sword and smiled. "This sword is a little strange. It doesn't seem to have any edge?"
It looked like a wooden sword. Could it be that the people below took the wrong one?
Chu Li smiled. "Good sword, I'll borrow Chief's hair."
Su Ru rolled her eyes at him and scoffed. "Try and see if you can cut it?"
As she said this, she plucked out a shiny black hair and placed it one meter above the Modesty Sword. Suddenly, she let go and the hair gently fell.
Chu Li turned the sword and pointed the blade upwards. The hair fell on the blade and silently broke into two pieces.
"It really is a treasure sword!" Su Ru smiled. "It looks a little strange, but it's sharp enough. Let's look at the other one!"
Chu Li put the sword back into the scabbard and picked up the other long sword.
The scabbard felt light in his hand, as if it was nothing.
Chu Li felt like he was pinching a feather as he slowly pulled out the sword. The blade that was as clear as ice reflected a glimmer of light. The blade was thin and light, and its brilliance flowed like a pool of spring water under the bright sun.
"Good sword!" Su Ru could not help but praise.
The body of the sword was crystal clear and flawless, like an ice sculpture.
The sword's light was bright and gentle. There was no threatening chill, and it was not sharp.
Chu Li held the sword like he was dipping his hand into spring water. A cold breath came from his palm. It seemed that the material of the sword was not ordinary. It was light as if it was nothing, and it had the effect of calming one's heart.
He concentrated and thought. He vaguely guessed that it might be a sword forged by Xue Ying.
Snow Flower was a rare material for forging swords. It was condensed from thousands of years of ice and snow. It was as light as a feather and as hard as cold iron. It also had the ability to clear one's heart.
"This is a good sword. Chu Li, do you want this one?" Suru asked.
Chu Li focused his attention and saw two small words carved on the blade: "Flawless."
He shook his head and said, "I still prefer that Modesty Sword."
"That grey wooden sword?" Su Ru widened her eyes in disbelief. "How beautiful is this sword?"
Chu Li said, "I don't like such eye-catching things."
"Understood." Su Ru nodded and smiled. "One look at the sword you've chosen and I can tell that you're a sinister person who likes to plot against others."
"You flatter me!" Chu Li put on a fake smile.
Su Ru giggled, "Am I wrong?"
Chu Li sighed. "Chief, I've been wronged!"
"Young Ru is right." Xiao Qi pursed her lips and revealed a charming smile. "This Modesty Sword really suits you."
"Then I'll kindly accept it." Chu Li smiled and hung the Modesty Sword on his waist.
He usually did not carry a sword in the Public House as fighting was not allowed in the Public House. He did not need a sword. Even if he wanted a sword, he could return to the courtyard in a flash.
"Young Ru, where's the secret manual?" Xiao Qi asked.
Su Ru put the Flawless Sword back into the cabinet and took out a box. She placed it on the coffee table.
Chu Li opened it and saw that one was a palm technique and the other was a fist technique. They were both superior martial arts. He flipped through them. They were imprinted in his mind but he did not want to practice them. These two martial arts were not of much use to him.
Xiao Qi saw that he was not very interested and said, "Jiang Kuai is very outstanding. You've done a good job. "
Chu Li smiled. "His Light-body Technique is superb and he's experienced. It'll be easy for him to stand out."
"This time, he'll be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver and a Spirit Blessing Pill." Xiao Qi said.
"Thank you, Lady."
"This is a formal reward." Xiao Qi waved her hand. "You have to persuade him not to go down the old path. The Public House is not forgiving. "
Chu Li nodded.

In the evening, the setting sun dyed the lake and the island red.
On the rose-colored lake, Xue carried a pot of flowers and sailed on a boat. Her snow-white gown was also dyed a rose color by the setting sun.
She came to a small island and passed through the forest. She knocked on the door of a small courtyard. Su Yuting's voice came from the courtyard. "Who is it?"
"Sister Shu, it's me, Xue Ling." Xue Ling raised her voice.
The courtyard door opened and Su Yuting stood at the door in a light green gown. She smiled like a flower. "Xue Ling, come in."
Xue Ling carried the flower in and smiled. "I brought you a Moonlight Orchid."
"Moonlight Orchid?" Su Yuting looked at the orchid in the pot in surprise. "It's a Moonlight Orchid?"
She also liked flowers and had heard of the famous Moonlight Orchid.
"It will glow in a few days," Xue Ling said. "It will be very beautiful."
"This is too precious!" Su Yuting looked at it in admiration and shook her head.
The two of them entered the pagoda. Su Yuting lit the charcoal fire in the red clay stove and continued to stare at the Moonlight Orchid.
Xue Ling said, "The Moonlight Orchid in the Public House was cultivated by Master. It has exceeded its lifespan by three months, so it is not that precious. Master is in charge of the East Garden. It is not a big deal to move one here."
"Is it against the Public House's rules?" Su Yuting asked.
"Third Lady will not punish Master for such a small matter." Xue Ling smiled. "The Moonlight Orchid is really beautiful, especially at night!"
"I have heard of it for a long time but I have never seen it," Su Yuting said excitedly. "You can't buy it even if you have money."
Xue Ling nodded.
"How do I move it out?" Su Yuting looked at the pot carefully.
"It is very easy," Xue Ling said. "Dig some mud from the lake and dry it. Then, dig a hole and put the mud at the bottom. Place the Moonlight Orchid on top of it and then bury it."
"Xue Ling, help me," Su Yuting said.
She was afraid that she would accidentally kill the Moonlight Orchid. That would be a sin.
"No problem. Let us go to the East Garden and ask Brother Li for some mud. We will plant it when we come back."
"Can I go to the East Garden?"
"It is okay."
"… Alright then." Su Yuting was tempted.
Jiang Kuai asked about the grudge between Chu Li and Gu Litong and told her about it when he came back. She also learned about the East Garden and the West Garden. She knew that they were the best gardens.
"Then let's go now," Xue Ling said.
The two left the courtyard and came to the East Garden. They stepped onto the shore and Xue Ling knocked on the jade chime.
Li Yue's bear-like figure appeared quickly. When he saw them, he smiled enthusiastically. "Xue Ling, this lady looks unfamiliar."
"Madam Jiang," Xue Ling introduced. "Brother Li, I would like to bring Madam Jiang around the East Garden."
"Welcome, welcome!" Li Yue smiled. "Feel free to walk around!"
"Brother Li, can you help me prepare some mud from the lake? I will bring it back later. We are going to plant the Moonlight Orchid."
"Leave it to me!"
Xue Ling brought Su Yuting around the East Garden. Su Yuting's eyes lit up and she gasped in admiration.
The two of them walked around for more than two hours. When they returned to Jiang Kuai's courtyard, Xue Ling casually mentioned that Master wanted to visit tonight.
Su Yuting started to get busy. The two of them moved the Moonlight Orchid out and planted it. Then, they started to cook.
