Su Ru quickly returned, "Master Xiao wants to welcome High Official Zhao and specifically asked you to go. Let's go."
"Want me to go?" Chu Li frowned.
Su Ru smiled, "You are a rank three Scribe now. Other than those old men who are unwilling to move, you have the highest rank."
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. He also wanted to see this High Official Zhao.
When the lanterns were lit, Chu Li followed Su Ru to Iron Eagle Island.
The island was brightly lit and very lively. The maids were in twos and threes and their bodies were light. When they saw Chu Li and Su Ru, they stopped and bowed.
Su Ru waved her hand from time to time and brought Chu Li to the hall.
There were more than twenty tallow candles in the hall and it was as bright as day.
Siao Tieying was talking to a tall old man. Next to Siao Tieying was Siao Qi.
Chu Li had already seen through the Omniscient Mirror before entering the hall. This tall old man had a round face and the corners of his eyes were curved. He was smiling amiably and looked like he was in his fifties.
However, he was a Grandmaster. Chu Li speculated that he was over a hundred years old.
Seeing Chu Li and Su Ru coming over, Siao Qi waved her hand.
Chu Li closed fist saluted.
Siao Tieying glanced at Chu Li and pointed to a seat for Chu Li to sit down and talk.
He called Chu Li over to put him at ease so that he would not have a knot in his heart. Chu Li was also sincere in saving Second Sister. He could not hurt his feelings too much. A rank three Scribe's feelings must be taken care of.
"Elder Zhao, this is the chief of Glory's Will Courtyard, Chu Li," Siao Tieying smiled, "I heard that Elder Zhao is coming and specially came to pay my respects."
"Hehe, old bones, there is no elegance to speak of." Zhao Zilai waved his hand and laughed, "On the other hand, this little brother has an inner God's will. He can be said to be a young talent. I am far inferior to him when I was young."
Chu Li closed fist saluted, "Elder Zhao, you flatter me."
"Elder Zhao, do you want to meet Xiao Shi first?" Siao Tieying smiled, "It's good to know."
"No need, no need." Zhao Zilai smiled, "Don't trouble Second Lady."
"Elder Zhao is in Fairy's Capital and is knowledgeable. Have you heard of Vitality Sealing Finger?" Siao Qi asked faintly.
Zhao Zilai shook his head and sigh, "I have been in the forbidden area for a long time and I have heard of Vitality Sealing Finger. This is the biggest taboo in the forbidden land. "
"Sigh …" Siao Tieying shook his head and sighed, "I really don't know who could be so vicious. It's something that happened more than ten years ago. I can't find out anything even if I wanted to."
"There are not many people who know about Vitality Sealing." Zhao Zilai said, "We can always find one."
"This Vitality Sealing Finger is formless and formless." Siao Tieying sighed, "I wonder who could have such a malicious heart!"
"Even if we can't catch him, the Heavenly Way will not spare him." Zhao Zilai comforted, "The cycle of karma will not let him get away with it."
"I hope so." Siao Tieying sighed.
Chu Li did not say a word and quietly looked at Zhao Zilai.
Through the Omniscient Mirror. He realized that Zhao Zilai's cultivation level was indeed profound. It was a notch higher than Zhao Qingshan, but not much higher than Zhao Qingshan. After all, Zhao Qingshan was already a top-notch Grandmaster.
While he was investigating, he also observed Zhao Zilai's thoughts and his heart sank.
Just as the banquet was about to start, Chu Li said, "Master Xiao Tieying, Lady Xiao, aren't you going to greet Elder Zhao?"
"Elder Zhao?" Xiao Qi glanced at him.
They deliberately did not greet Zhao Qingshan. A king would not meet another king. If Zhao Qingshan saw Zhao Zilai, he would definitely not be happy. Why should they make things difficult for him?
Chu Li was experienced in human relations. He knew that there must be a reason for him to say this.
Chu Li nodded seriously, "Elder Zhao is also a Grandmaster. He must be on good terms with High Official Zhao."
Xiao Qi took a deep look at Chu Li and looked at Siao Tieying, "Big Brother, please invite Elder Zhao over."
"… Alright." Siao Tieying glanced at Chu Li expressionlessly and raised his voice, "Linquan. Invite Elder Zhao over too! "
"Yes, Master." Linquan responded and quietly left the hall.
"Zhao Qingshan, right?" Zhao Zilai smiled, "Speaking of which, we are old acquaintances. Is he used to staying in the Public House?"
Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled, "Fortunately, Elder Zhao is here. Otherwise, under the pressure of the Ren Public House, our days will be even more difficult. "
"Oh –?" Zhao Zilai smiled and shook his head, "The Yi Public House is not weak. How can it be so unbearable? Master Siao is too modest!"
Zhao Qingshan followed Linquan to the hall and stepped into the hall. When he saw Zhao Zilai, he was stunned, "Why are you here?"
Zhao Zilai smiled, "Elder Zhao, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"
"You are not dead yet!" Zhao Qingshan said coldly.
Zhao Zilai laughed, "You are not dead yet. How can I bear to die? … We are old friends. Let's have a drink."
"You flatter me!" Zhao Qingshan sneered and closed fist saluted, "Master, Third Lady, I am not on good terms with him. It is awkward to be together with him. It is better for me to leave first!"
Siao Tieying smiled, "Elder Zhao, the visitor is a guest. Sit down!"
Xiao Qi glanced at Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled and did not say anything. He secretly concentrated on what the two were thinking.
Zhao Qingshan sat next to Chu Li and remained silent.
Zhao Zilai shook his head and laughed, "Master Siao, we are old enemies. We became enemies when we were young. After so many years, seeing him as strong as before, it really makes me feel emotional."
"Not at all." Siao Tieying smiled, "This time, I have to trouble High Official Zhao."
"Sigh … Master Siao, I am really not sure." Zhao Zilai shook his head and smiled bitterly, "In terms of cultivation level, I am not much stronger than Elder Zhao. If he does not dare, I am the same."
Zhao Qingshan's face darkened and did not speak.
He secretly scolded Zhao Zilai for his sinister intentions. It was obvious that he was trying to sow discord.
Siao Tieying said helplessly, "No matter what, I have to try. I can't watch my sister slowly wait for death, right?"
Chu Li interrupted again, "Master Siao, could it be that the Ren Public House plotted against the Second Lady?"
"Impossible?" Siao Tieying frowned.
This Chu Li, he really did not know what he wanted to do!
Chu Li said, "Looking at Lu Yurong's means, it may be the Ren Public House. High Official Zhao, do you know Lu Yurong?"
"The Lady of the Ren Public House?" Zhao Zilai smiled, "I have seen her before."
Chu Li said, "Lu Yurong's means are insidious. This kind of thing is definitely done."
"Hehe …" Zhao Zilai did not comment.
Siao Tieying said impatiently, "How old is Lu Yurong!"
Chu Li smiled faintly, "She is still young. What about her master? High Official Zhao should know her master, right? "
"Hehe, Young Brother Chu's words are interesting," Zhao Zilai waved his hand and laughed.
Chu Li smiled, "To be able to teach someone like Lu Yurong, her master must be a powerful person. It's a pity that we can't know each other. What a pity."
Siao Qi had been quietly watching and did not speak.
Chu Li's behavior was completely different from his usual calm demeanor. There must be a reason. Now it seemed that there was a problem with this High Official Zhao!
Chu Li then followed the rules and did not speak anymore.
After Zhao Zilai and Zhao Qingshan left, there were only five people left in the hall.
"Chu Li, what's going on?!" Siao Qi did not wait for Siao Tieying to get angry and directly asked, "Is he really related to Lu Yurong?"
Su Ru also looked at him curiously.
Chu Li sighed, "My Lady, I'm afraid so!"
Su Ru quickly asked, "What's the relationship?"
Chu Li said, "The relationship between Zhao Zilai and Lu Yurong's master is not ordinary."
Siao Tieying's face was gloomy.
He knew that Chu Li had a special skill similar to Third Younger Sister's or even better.
He thought that he was open and aboveboard. There was nothing that he could not say to others. He dared to use Chu Li.
However, Chu Li had a weakness. He was too young. Young people's temperament had not been sharpened and their temperament was unstable. It was easy to be impulsive and do bad things. Even if he had a special skill, it was difficult to control his nature.
Siao Tieying scoffed, "I don't even know who Lu Yurong's master is!"
Chu Li said, "I don't know who Lu Yurong's master is, but I know that he has a close relationship with Zhao Zilai. With a little test, I found out. My Lady, you also noticed that his expression was strange, right?"
Siao Qi nodded lightly.
"High Official Zhao's identity is different. We can't just speculate!" Siao Tieying said impatiently.
