"How?" Siao Tieying was dubious.
Chu Li said, "Imitate Lu Yurong's symbol and ask him out."
"You need him to believe it!" Siao Tieying shook his head, "Don't think he's stupid. He's more than a hundred years old and he's smarter than us. How could he not notice what you said just now? … Of course, the premise is that there's something wrong with him. "
"I don't need to worry about him not falling for it," Chu Li said.
Siao Tieying was interested, "How?"
He saw Chu Li's confident look and was dubious.
Chu Li said, "Lady Xiao knows the Ren Public House's secret communication code, right?"
Siao Qi nodded, "Yes, I know a little."
"Ask him to meet in Lu Yurong's name," Chu Li smiled, "He'll most likely fall for it!"
Suru shook her head, "He won't fall for it so easily."
Chu Li smiled and said nothing.
"It's good to try," Siao Qi said.
She glanced at Siao Tieying.
Siao Tieying snorted and did not comment.
There was nothing wrong with testing him. If Zhao Zilai was innocent and he could not detect it, then he must not make a move no matter what.

Chu Li, Siao Qi and Suru stood on the boat. The boat floated on the lake.
A bright moon hung high in the night sky. The moonlight shone on the lake and it was cool and pleasant.
The lake breeze was gentle and refreshing.
"Is there really something wrong with him?" Siao Qi said lightly.
Chu Li said, "I can't say much in front of Master Siao Tieying. There's definitely something wrong with Zhao Zilai. I can't let him make a move. I'm afraid that if I say this, Master Siao Tieying will suspect that I have ulterior motives!"
"Aren't you afraid that Lady Xiao Qi will suspect that you have ulterior motives?" Suru scoffed.
Chu Li smiled.
Siao Qi glanced at Suru and said lightly, "He has a relationship with Lu Yurong. He may not dare to harm Second Eldest Sister."
"What if Lu Yurong looks for him personally?" Chu Li said.
Siao Qi looked at him thoughtfully.
Chu Li said, "Lu Yurong might do it."
"Lu Yurong will look for him personally?" Suru suddenly realized and pointed at Chu Li, "Oh … I understand now. No wonder you're so sure that he will fall for it!"
Chu Li scoffed, "Consider it as borrowing Lu Yurong's influence."
Suru immediately understood Chu Li's idea. He wanted to steal Lu Yurong's victory. Zhao Zilai knew that Lu Yurong would come looking for him, so they rushed ahead of Lu Yurong. He left a message with the Ren Public House's secret code.
If he really had a problem, he would fall for it.
"Chu Li, you're really cunning!" Su Ru scoffed.
Chu Li said, "For the Second Lady, this is the only way. … Miss, can we find Lu Yurong? If we're always on the defensive, there will be a time when we can't defend ourselves. We have to strike first. "
"You haven't seen Lu Yurong, have you?"
"No."
"… Find an opportunity. Let's meet her, "Xiao Qi said.
Su Ru said, "That's not easy. Lu Yurong almost always stays in the residence. My Lady, we've only met her once."
Chu Li asked curiously, "Is Lu Yurong not leaving the Public House?"
"Strategizing in a tent will determine victory from a thousand miles away." Xiao Qi said, "Lu Yurong will make all the plans in advance. She will calculate all the routes and we just need to follow the plan."
"She has calculated all the accidents?" Chu Li frowned.
Xiao Qi said, "Most likely."
"It's really scary!" Chu Li shook his head and sighed.
He knew that he could not do this. Although he had a high IQ, he was not good at scheming. This Lu Yurong was really scary.
Xiao Qi said, "She's quite mysterious. I've only met her once by chance. "
"What kind of person is she?" Chu Li asked.
He could not help but be curious. He activated the Omniscient Mirror to look at the scenery in her mind.
On a beautiful maroon horse, a young girl with a white veil galloped past. She was a graceful woman in a moon-white gown, but her face could not be seen clearly.
Xiao Qi shook her head, "I can't see through her mind."
She pondered and looked at Chu Li deeply.
She could see through other people's thoughts, but she could not see through Chu Li's. He was like a pool of clear water, calm and unperturbed.
She was far more sensitive than ordinary people. She could feel that she was being spied on, and Chu Li had the ability to read minds. Just now, her heart moved. It should be him reading her mind.
Chu Li said, "Looks like I have to go to the Ren Public House."
"Jiang Kuai is proficient in the Bone Shrinking Technique. You should learn from him. " Xiao Qi said lightly, "Change your appearance and get close to the Ren Public House. You might have a chance to meet Lu Yurong. She has been staying in the Public House, but on a special day, she will come out."
Lu Yurong visited her brother's grave every year.
"Not everyone can learn the Bone Shrinking Technique." Chu Li shook his head and smiled.
The Bone Shrinking Technique was not a top-notch martial art. It was just a very shallow heart technique. Because it was shallow, it was more difficult to cultivate. It was easy to get started, but it was almost difficult to perfect it and reach Jiang Kuai's level.
Most people who cultivated it could only make themselves a little shorter, and they could only persist for a while. Unlike Jiang Kuai, not only could he shrink his whole body, but he could also maintain it for a day.
Chu Li estimated that the reason he could cultivate the Bone Shrinking Technique to such a level was the same as his Light-body Technique. It was all because of the strange fruit he ate, which changed his physique.

In the early morning, Zhao Zilai woke up from his meditation, feeling refreshed.
He came to the courtyard and breathed in the fresh air. His whole body felt comfortable.
It was completely different from the dry air in Fairy's Capital. The air here was moist and fresh. Just breathing it was a great enjoyment.
Unfortunately, he could not stay here for long. Fairy's Capital was his home.
A maid served him food. After he ate, he walked out of the courtyard and strolled by the lake.
The island he was on was a fine house. The courtyard was exquisite and elegant. The rockery and water were all made by famous artists. It was extraordinary, but compared to the Imperial House, it was ordinary.
He strolled around the island and slowly made his way back.
He suddenly stopped and his eyes swept across a rockery by the roadside. He clearly saw the pattern on a stone on the rockery.
At first glance, the pattern looked like a natural pattern on the stone. It was not obvious, but he could tell at a glance that it was Lu Yurong's unique symbol.
He was surprised. This Lu girl really came to find him? She was very resourceful!
He thought that there were many Lu Yurong's spies in the Yi Public House. As soon as he arrived, she knew and came to find him.
He glanced at the pattern and thought about it carefully. He read the message contained in the pattern and continued to return to the courtyard. He sat in the courtyard and read.
When a maid served tea, Zhao Zilai casually asked a few questions about the environment here. The maid carefully answered. He waved his hand, indicating that the maid did not need to serve him. He wanted to stay quietly.
He had a quiet day. Siao Tieying did not come again and let him rest quietly for a day.
When the lanterns were lit, he told the maid that he would not eat dinner. Then, he boarded the boat and left the Public House. He walked along the street to the Sky Inn.
The Sky Inn was the largest restaurant in Chong Ming Town. It was three stories high and majestic. He felt that it was not inferior to the restaurants in Fairy's Capital.
After a few glances, he went up to the third floor. When he saw a person sitting at a table by the window, his heart sank.
