In the early morning of the next day, Chu Li finished his cultivation and sailed to the island where the abode was located.
Xue Ling steered the boat while Chu Li stood at the bow in a green robe with his hands behind his back. There seemed to be a light gauze curtain slowly unfolding on the lake. The thin water vapor was clearly visible.
The morning air was particularly fresh and moist. When he took a breath, it was as if his lungs were cleansed. The turbid air dissipated and his whole body felt refreshed. His mood inexplicably became better.
Xue Ling wore a bluish-white gown and her face was as white as jade, "Master, what does High Official Zhao mean?"
Chu Li shook his head.
Xue Ling scoffed, "I think he is up to no good. Master, what is your status? How can you have time to accompany him?"
Chu Li laughed, "My status is far inferior to him."
Xue Ling pouted her red lips.
Chu Li said, "Don't have this attitude later. He is a guest from afar. It is my duty to be the host. If I don't go, who will go? Will Master Xiao Tieying and the Lady accompany him personally? "
"Where are we going today?" Xue Ling asked.
"Let's see what High Official Zhao thinks."
Xue Ling scoffed and accelerated the boat.
Since she reached the Innate Mastery's Boundary, she no longer needed to row the boat. She could use her inner energy to drive the boat. She liked to sail the boat and never got tired of it. Chu Li knew that this novelty could only last for a while before it dissipated.
She drove the boat very fast and in a short while, they arrived at the island where the abode was located. However, she found that Zhao Zilai was already standing on the shore waiting.
Zhao Zilai wore a purple robe and looked amiable.
Chu Li fist saluted from afar, "Sorry for making Senior Zhao wait for so long."
"Hehe, I just arrived too," Zhao Zilai smiled and said, "Then let's go straight to Sky Inn for breakfast!"
His burning gaze moved away from Chu Li and landed on Xue Ling. He stared at her cold and elegant face, her plump and perky breasts, her slender waist, and her round, peach-like buttocks.
Xue Ling frowned and her face became colder. She felt that his gaze was like a solid substance, like a pair of hands slowly caressing her. She suddenly had goosebumps and felt disgusted.
She was already used to the gazes of others and could turn a blind eye to them. However, this kind of intense and oppressive gaze was a little unbearable for her.
"Please!" Chu Li took a step forward and stood in front of Xue Ling. He smiled and said, "Senior Zhao, please!"
Zhao Zilai chuckled twice and flew up lightly, displaying his exquisite Qing Gong. His figure turned in the air, forming a circular arc, and he wanted to land behind Xue Ling.
Xue Ling was shocked.
Chu Li turned around and reached out his hand, wrapping his arm around her slender waist. Then, he turned around and swapped their positions.
As soon as Zhao Zilai landed, Chu Li turned around and faced him.
Zhao Zilai chuckled and glanced at Xue Ling who was blocked by Chu Li. He shook his head and laughed, "It seems that Young Chu Li is very concerned about this maid."
Chu Li replied calmly, "She's my personal maid. Senior Zhao, let's go!"
Xue Ling bit her red lips and leaned against his back. The feeling of safety and warmth filled her heart. She turned her head and did not look at Zhao Zilai.
Chu Li steered the boat forward and soon reached the shore.
After he and Zhao Zilai went ashore, he turned around and said to Xue Ling, "Go back and do what I asked you to do!"
"Yes." Although Xue Ling was surprised, she answered straightforwardly.
She knew that Chu Li had changed his mind. He originally wanted her to follow. After all, it would be too unsightly if there was no one to serve tea or water. It would be beneath their dignity to let them do this kind of thing themselves. It would also seem that the Public House did not treat them well.
"Hehe," Zhao Zilai chuckled and waved his hand, "Don't. It's good to have this lady follow us. What's the point of us two men? It's much more interesting with this lady, isn't it?"
Chu Li smiled, "She still has something to do. It can't be delayed."
"What's the big deal?" Zhao Zilai shook his head and laughed, "It's good to have someone else do it. Don't tell me that this old man is a man-eating spirit beast?"
Chu Li smiled and looked at Zhao Zilai deeply, "My maid is timid. She can't stand being scared by Elder Zhao. It's better to spare her. You can go!"
He did not wait for Zhao Zilai to say anything and waved his hand to let Xue Ling leave.
Xue Ling did not even look at Zhao Zilai and steered the boat away.
Zhao Zilai was surprised, "This lady is actually an Innate Master. I really misjudged her."
Chu Li smiled faintly, "She's quite hardworking. Senior Zhao, let's go."
"I like this lady very much." Zhao Zilai walked slowly and smiled, "If I ask Master Xiao Tieying to come over, I think Master Xiao Tieying will not refuse."
Chu Li smiled and shook his head, "Master Xiao Tieying will not agree."
He did not know about other Public Houses. The Scribes and Protectors of the Yi Public House were not private property. Everything had the Public House's rules. The Public House's rules were the cornerstone of the Public House. No matter how bold Master Xiao Tieying was, he would not dare to break it and act arbitrarily.
"Oh –?" Zhao Zilai chuckled, "Do you want me to try?"
"Senior Zhao is so young but you're still strong. I really admire you!" Chu Li smiled.
There was a murderous intent in his heart but his smile became more easygoing.
"Sigh … There's no other way!" Zhao Zilai shook his head and said, "I've lived for too long. Time is hard to bear. I have to find something interesting to pass the time. Women are the most wonderful things in the world. God specially created them to entertain us men!"
Chu Li chuckled.
"Young Chu Li, don't take women too seriously. Otherwise, you won't be able to enjoy them. Instead, you'll end up with a body full of injuries. You're asking for trouble!" Zhao Zilai shook his head and was filled with emotions.
Chu Li smiled, "Senior Zhao has been injured by a woman before?"
"Hehe." Zhao Zilai shook his head and laughed, "Young Chu Li, it's not a good thing to be too smart. You won't live long."
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Zhao." Chu Li smiled and said, "Lu Yurong's master must be an amazing woman. She must have hurt Senior Zhao very deeply!"
Zhao Zilai's eyes flashed and the cold air around him surged.
This was a scar that he could not heal for a long time. For many years, no one dared to expose it. This brat in front of him who did not know his own limits repeatedly exposed this scar. He really deserved to die!
Chu Li pretended not to know and smiled casually, "Lu Yurong's master's surname is Fu, right?"
"You know quite a lot!" Zhao Zilai kept the smile on his face and snorted with a cold face, "What's the name of the little girl just now?"
"Fu Yuying." Chu Li smiled, "Senior Fu Yuying must be a scheming person, right?"
The two of them went out of the House of Duke's south gate and strolled along the street. They seemed to be leisurely chatting casually.
"Hehe …" Zhao Zilai's heart was filled with murderous intent. A smile appeared on his face again. There was no need to be angry with a dead person, "It seems that the House of Duke is indeed well-informed. They are the dogs of the Royal Family."
He was originally entrusted by Lu Yurong to kill Chu Li. He felt a little regretful. Chu Li had reached rank three at such a young age. He had a promising future and it was a pity to kill him. However, he had offended Lu Yurong and could only die.
But now he changed his mind. This kid really deserved to die. No wonder Lu Yurong wanted to kill him.
Chu Li smiled and said, "The House of Duke is the dogs of the Royal Family. What about Senior Zhao? … If Senior Zhao and the House of Duke were to fight, I don't know if the Royal Family will side with the House of Duke or you, Senior Zhao? "
Zhao Zilai's smile disappeared again and he sneered, "Young Chu Li, do you want to try?"
Chu Li smiled and shook his head, "That's not necessary. I still have to give face to the Empress. Even if I don't do it for the sake of the monks, I still have to do it for the sake of the Buddha."
"Hehe, good! Good! "Zhao Zilai put on a smile again," Young people are really ignorant and fearless! "
