The gazebo was brightly lit. Chu Li and Jiang Kuai sat opposite each other. Su Yuting and Xue Ling sat beside them. Xue Ling's hands were like jade, pouring wine from the pot from time to time.
"Brother Jiang Kuai, this time the Public House rewarded you with ten thousand taels of silver and a Spirit Blessing Pill," Chu Li said, "Your first task was a good start. Congratulations!"
"What a coincidence," Jiang Kuai laughed.
He was very excited. Ten thousand taels of silver was a lot of money, but more importantly, the Spirit Blessing Pill.
The Spirit Blessing Pill was a priceless treasure. It was equivalent to a life. No amount of money could buy it. With a Spirit Blessing Pill, he became more courageous. His heart suddenly calmed down and he was no longer afraid of danger.
"Actually, Brother Chu Li, I still have to thank you." Jiang Kuai raised his silver cup and drank it in one gulp. He sighed, "If it wasn't for Brother Chu Li, I wouldn't have been able to enter the Public House!"
Now that he entered the Public House, he understood that at his age, even if his Light-body Technique was superb, he would not be able to enter the Public House. To enter the Public House, one needed a referral. Ordinary Public House Guards did not have the qualifications to do so. They needed to be rank four and above.
Grandmasters could only reach rank four Protectors. It was even harder to reach rank four Scribe. Chu Li repeatedly made great contributions and quickly advanced in rank was the first case.
Referral into the Public House. The referral was the guarantor. If anything went wrong, the referral would be punished.
Chu Li tried his best to recruit him. Now that he thought about it, he did not know how to appreciate favors. However, if he knew that the Public House Protectors were so free, he would have agreed long ago.
Chu Li smiled, "Brother Jiang Kuai, you don't have to thank me. I have my own selfish motives. The Public House needs to strengthen its strength. The more masters there are, the easier it will be for us."
"This is public service," Jiang Kuai smiled.
Chu Li shook his head, "I have another selfish motive. I want Brother Jiang Kuai to help me … but I don't have to enter the Glory's Will Courtyard. I can help myself."
He had already seen through Jiang Kuai's thoughts. He did not want to enter the Glory's Will Courtyard and did not want to offend too many people.
He understood Jiang Kuai's thoughts. He had just arrived and offended too many people. Even with his support, it was difficult for him to move.
"No problem!" Jiang Kuai breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled. "Personal help is definitely not a problem. I'll be there anytime!"
He had been in a dilemma. He was afraid that Chu Li would ask him to enter the Skysoul Institute. He really didn't want to enter the Skysoul Institute, but Chu Li had done too much for him. Once he opened his mouth, it would be hard for him to refuse.
He did not expect Chu Li to only ask for personal help. Apart from letting out a long sigh of relief, he also felt somewhat guilty and grateful for not entering the Skysoul Institute.
Chu Li sighed to himself.
It seemed that it hadn't been easy to open the Skysoul Institute, so it was best for him to do nothing about it.
The House of High Duke had been combed by the Miss, and there were only one or two fish that had slipped through the net. There was no need to open the Glory's Will Courtyard. He would occasionally come here and inform the Miss.
Jiang Kuai changed the topic. He raised his glass and smiled. "Brother Chu. Today at the Martial Arts Hall, everyone is very excited. Destroying the Phoenix Tree Faction will greatly increase the ambition of the High Duke's Public House. "
Chu Li nodded.
Jiang Kuai said, "But I think there's more to it than meets the eye, right?"
Chu Li smiled. "Why do you feel that way, Brother Jiang?"
"There's something wrong with that couple!" Jiang Kuai said, "So it's not that simple."
Chu Li pondered for a moment and sighed. "There is indeed an inside story."
Jiang Kuai quickly put down the silver cup and listened attentively.
Chu Li glanced at Su Yuting.
Xue Ling quickly smiled. "Sister Su, let's go take a look at the Moonlight Orchid and let them talk."
Su Yuting nodded and bowed to Chu Li. Then, she left the pagoda with Xue Ling.
Chu Li waited until Su Yuting walked far away before he told him what happened.
Jiang Kuai's expression changed several times.
He was an old fish in Jianghu. He knew that people were sinister and had encountered many conspiracies. After listening to what Chu Li said, he could not help but be speechless. Lu Yurong was too scary. The Ren Public House was too scary!
Jiang Kuai glanced at Su Yuting who was far away. Luckily, Chu Li sent her away so she could listen to all this. She was afraid that she could not sleep well. This time, she almost lost ten Protectors of the High Duke's Public House.
Chu Li said, "When you go out to do a mission, you must keep your eyes open and be careful at all times."
"Yes." Jiang Kuai quickly nodded.
He had performed a meritorious deed. He was a little smug at first, but now he woke up and regained his vigilance.
Chu Li saw him like this and his goal was achieved. He smiled. "Speaking of which, other than congratulating you for your meritorious deed, I have a private matter to ask of Brother Jiang Kuai."
"Don't be so polite. Just say it!" Jiang Kuai said.
Chu Li took out a white jade bottle and handed it to Jiang Kuai. "Help me send a Spirit Blessing Pill to a friend."
"No problem. Where to?" Jiang Kuai happily took the white jade bottle.
"Startling Cloud Association in Cloud State Town." Chu Li said, "Look for the Association Leader of Startling Cloud Association, Chen Siyu. Tell her that it's from Chen Li. She will understand."
"Cloud State Town is not far. I can send it over tomorrow." Jiang Kuai said.
Chen Siyu must be someone very important to Chu Li. One Spirit Blessing Pill was equivalent to one life. Who would be willing to give it to someone who was not close to him?
Chu Li smiled. "Thank you, Brother Jiang Kuai."
"In the future, if there are such small errands, just leave it to me." Jiang Kuai patted his chest and smiled.

In the evening three days later, Chu Li was practicing the Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait in the pagoda when Su Ru fluttered over. Her apricot gown made her face look bright and flawless. She entered the courtyard and said, "Master Xiao Tieying is back!"
Chu Li closed the tiger bone box. "Did the Emperor agree?"
"No." Su Ru shook her head and entered the pagoda. "The Emperor isolated himself and did not see outsiders. He invited a High Official from the Imperial House."
Xue Ling said, "It seems that the Second Lady can be saved."
Chu Li frowned. "Do you know the details?"
He sighed secretly. As expected, he could not invite the Emperor!
Su Ru smiled. "Are you afraid that the High Official from the Imperial House will harm the Second Lady?"
Chu Li said, "I have to understand his cultivation level. After all, it concerns the Second Lady's life."
Su Ru said, "Don't worry. Master Xiao Tieying is very considerate. He is more worried about the Second Lady. This person is Zhao Zilai, a Grandmaster. His cultivation level is one of the best in the Imperial House!"
Chu Li nodded slowly. "How confident is he?"
"Only half." Su Ru sighed. "I can see that he is quite reluctant. But he has no choice. The Empress has ordered him to come."
Chu Li frowned. "Half …"
"Not as confident as you?" Su Ru said, "Chu Li, give up. Master Xiao Tieying trusts the High Official from the Imperial House more."
Chu Li nodded slowly. If he was Master Xiao Tieying, he would also trust the High Official from the Imperial House more. The High Official's cultivation level was far higher than his. Of course, he was more trustworthy.
Su Ru waved her hand and said, "Let's go."
She did not wait for Chu Li to speak. She floated out of the pagoda, waved to the back and disappeared from the entrance of the courtyard.
Chu Li's fingers gently tapped on the stone table. His thoughts were tumbling and he could not calm down.
As expected, the Emperor did not agree. The Empress had done her best to send a martial arts master over.
He did not have to worry about the High Official's cultivation level. Master Xiao Tieying was not a fool.
Xue Ling came over and whispered, "Master, are you worried?"
Chu Li shook his head.
Xue Ling said, "He is the High Official from the Imperial House."
Chu Li smiled and sighed again.
He was far more confident in himself than others. He knew that his mental strength was far stronger than ordinary people. His control of inner energy was far better than ordinary people. If he was only 60% confident, others might not even have 30%.
