"Elder Zhao," Siao Tieying raised his hand to greet him. His handsome face showed a smile, "Come and sit with us!"
Zhao Zilai's mind was racing.
Was it a coincidence, or was he fooled?
Maybe they just happened to appear in this place at this time. After all, Sky Inn was the largest restaurant in Chong Ming Town. It was not surprising for Siao Tieying to come here for a meal.
Or, was he waiting for him here?
He was very sure and did not panic at all.
Whether Siao Tieying was here by coincidence or on purpose, he was a High Official of the Imperial House. Siao Tieying could not do anything to him!
He smiled and went over, "Master Siao, you are here too!"
"Hehe, it is really a coincidence." Siao Tieying stared at him with a fake smile on his face, "If I knew that Elder Zhao wanted to come over for a meal, I would have invited you. Let's sit at the same table, what do you think?"
He secretly sneered. Chu Li really guessed it right. How could there be such a coincidence!
What made him even more depressed was that even if he knew that he was involved with Lu Yurong, he could not do anything to him. The High Official of the Imperial House had a high status. As the Elder Master of the Public House, he could not reach that far.
"Alright." Zhao Zilai sat at the table and smiled at Linquan.
Linquan smiled humbly and bowed to show his respect.
"Brother Linquan is also considered a top-notch master." Zhao Zilai laughed, "You don't look like one!"
Linquan smiled, "You flatter me."
Siao Tieying said, "Elder Zhao, is there anything wrong with our hospitality?"
"It's pretty good." Zhao Zilai smiled, "I always like to wander around. I like to be carefree and I don't like to be tied down. I want to take this opportunity to walk around Chong Ming Town."
"Elder Zhao, feel free to do as you please. If you have any instructions, just let the maid know. I will do my best as a host." Siao Tieying smiled.
At this time, tea was served in the tavern. Linquan got up to take it and handed it to Zhao Zilai.
Zhao Zilai took the teacup and smiled, "I wonder when will you unseal the Second Lady's Vitality Finger? The sooner it's done, the better. I can also stroll around to my heart's content. "
"No hurry, no hurry." Siao Tieying picked up the teacup and slowly took a sip, "Let my sister rest for a few days first. It's too late for regrets! "
He believed seventy to eighty percent of Chu Li's judgment. Even if it was a coincidence today and he wronged Zhao Zilai, he could not let him remove the Vitality Sealing Finger. I can't take the risk. Second sister only has one life!
"That's true." Zhao Zilai put down the teacup and smiled, "But I want to see Second Miss first and see her condition."
"Of course." Siao Tieying nodded and smiled, "Of course, we have to meet him before we make our move."
Zhao Zilai said, "The young lad at yesterday's banquet is already a third-rank Imperial Bodyguard at such a young age, he is really amazing."
"Chu Li." Siao Tie Ying's face darkened. He scoffed unhappily, "He is indeed a genius. However, his temperament is wild and unruly. Please don't laugh at him, Elder Zhao!"
"He's a young man, it's inevitable." Zhao Zilai shook his head and smiled. "It's hard to be calm at such a young age. Train him well!"
Siao Tieying laughed, "He's still young. The future is still long! "
Zhao Zilai sighed and said, "It's a pity that I didn't see the High Duke. I wonder where is the High Duke now?"
Siao Tieying's face darkened. He quickly regained his smile, "Father is cultivating in isolation. He has already instructed me not to disturb him. As his son, I dare not disobey him."
This Zhao Zilai was so annoying. He touched my sore spot!
"Sigh … the High Duke's elegant demeanor is still fascinating!" Zhao Zilai shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that I can't see him!"
Siao Tieying smiled and changed the topic, "Come, come. Elder Zhao, try Sky Brothel's signature dish, Crystal Beef with Radish. "
The bartender served a big bowl of dishes. The aroma filled the air.

After the meal. Siao Tieying returned to Iron Eagle Island with a gloomy face. He sat on the armchair in the hall and sneered, "Zhao Zilai!"
Linquan lowered his eyebrows and said gently, "Master, there's no need to be angry. Older people tend to have a strange temper. It's fine as long as you don't lower yourself to his level. "
"Hmph!" Siao Tieying sneered, "I think he's deliberately angering me! Linquan, do you think he's suspicious? "
Linquan smiled, "Master, I don't dare to say."
"Don't give me that. Hurry up and say it!" Siao Tieying said impatiently.
Linquan said, "If we're talking about suspicious, he's the High Official of the Imperial House. He's usually high and mighty. It's not strange for him to say something unpleasant. Just because of this, you suspect him of colluding with the Ren Public House. Isn't that … Isn't that …"
"Hmph, isn't that too rash?!" Siao Tieying scoffed.
Linquan smiled embarrassedly, "Of course, it's indeed a little suspicious. It's too much of a coincidence."
"Old people become crafty. That's right!" Siao Tieying pointed at him.
Lin Quan chuckled.
Siao Tieying said, "No matter what, we don't dare to use this Zhao Zilai anymore!"
Linquan said, "If it doesn't work, we can hire another High Official from the Imperial House."
"This time, the Empress is giving face to the High Duke's Public House. If we don't use this one, we'll be asking for it!" Siao Tieying scoffed.
Linquan said, "What should we do?"
"Let me think again!" Siao Tieying frowned, "We can always find a master!"
"I know that Master has a close friend." Linquan looked at him carefully and whispered, "He's a Grandmaster."
"Who is he?" Siao Tieying asked coldly.
Linquan said, "Thunder Guiding Blade, Feng Jiuyang."
"Thunder Guiding Blade …" Siao Tieying thought for a while and frowned, "He's good friends with Master?"
Thunder Guiding Blade was famous. His blade was like a thunderbolt. It was as fast as lightning and unavoidable. Even though he had not been seen for more than ten years, his reputation did not fade.
"It's a friendship of life and death." Linquan nodded, "However, Thunder Guiding Blade has gone into seclusion and Master has isolated himself. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. I don't know how he's doing now. If he hasn't abandoned his martial arts, he'll be a top-notch master."
"I've heard of Thunder Guiding Blade." Siao Tieying nodded slowly, "Since his martial arts is good, let's give it a try!"
Siao Tieying could not care less about his pride and anger. He would not care about his father's friend.
Linquan quickly said, "Then we have to send people to look for him. After he went into seclusion, he never came out. I'm afraid that he's isolated himself like Master, or …"
"Why did he go into seclusion?" Siao Tieying asked, "Is it really because of a woman?"
There was a rumor in the martial arts world that Thunder Guiding Blade went into seclusion because of a woman.
"… It seems like it." Linquan whispered.
Siao Tieying frowned and looked at him.
Linquan whispered, "It seems to have something to do with Second Madam."
Siao Tieying scoffed. He did not want to ask too much about the grudges of the older generation. However, this matter was related to Second Sister's life. He had to look into it.
Linquan said, "Thunder Guiding Blade also liked Second Madam. After Second Madam passed away, he was disheartened and went into seclusion."
"Since his martial arts is so good, he won't die. We have to find him!" Siao Tieying said.
Linquan said, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
Even if he did not isolate himself, he would go into seclusion. If there were not many people around, it would be hard to find him.
After so many years, there were only a few people who could recognize Thunder Guiding Blade. At least, the eyes and ears of the Public House could not recognize him.
"Master, we can't be careless with Zhao Zilai." Linquan said, "After all, he's a High Official of the Imperial House."
"Just treat him well." Siao Tieying scoffed, "Don't let him find fault with us."
"Yes." Linquan nodded.
