"Speak!" Siao Tieying shouted.
The middle-aged woodcutter lowered his head and whispered, "I … I … A few days ago, someone came to me and told me to say this. As long as I said this, I would be given a hundred silver taels!"
"Who are they? What do they look like?" Siao Tieying scoffed.
The middle-aged woodcutter thought for a moment. "He's in his thirties, tall and skinny, and looks very refined."
"Forget it, it's useless to ask about this." Siao Tieying waved his hand and scoffed, "A hundred taels of silver? Do you think that a hundred taels of silver is so easy to earn? I'm afraid that you'll lose your life even if you have the money! … Alright, go back and be a good woodcutter from now on. Don't think about making a fortune. A fortune is a calamity! "
"Yes, many thanks to Eldest Young Master, many thanks to Eldest Young Master!" The middle-aged woodcutter seemed as if he had been granted amnesty and hurriedly kowtowed a few more times.
"Guard Song, what else do you have to say?" Siao Tie Ying turned his head and glared at Song Siwen. He said coldly, "Someone wants to harm Chu Li and frame him. Their intentions are extremely sinister!"
Song Siwen stared coldly at the middle-aged woodcutter, causing him to break out in cold sweat.
Siao Tieying sneered, "What's funny is that as a guard of the Imperial House, you were fooled by a man from the mountains. You've brought shame to the Imperial House. It's a shame that I've brought him back!"
Song Siwen was also very angry.
Siao Tieying's words were like a slap to his face. His cheeks were burning hot. He wished he could slap Siao Tieying to death.
Siao Tieying was not going to let it go. He sneered, "You should thank me. If you really went to the Emperor, you would probably be kicked out of the Imperial Palace Protectors!"
"Hey, thank you, Young Master!" Song Siwen sneered.
Siao Tieying glared at him and scoffed, "You don't know what's good for you!"
"Master Xiao Tieying, who did it?" Song Siwen changed the topic. "This person must have a huge grudge against Chu Li."
Siao Tieying said, "The Tempest Temple and the Ren Public House. It should be the Ren Public House's doing. The monks of the Tempest Temple rarely use these kinds of methods."
"Chu Li offended the Ren Public House?"
"Don't you know our relationship with the Ren Public House?" Siao Tieying said snappily, "They've taken advantage of Chu Li twice. They can't wait to get rid of him!"
Song Siwen nodded slowly. They had learned about this before they came. The Public Houses of Yi and Ren were fighting fiercely.
Siao Tieying laughed coldly, "That woman Lu Yu Rong has no scruples. If it weren't for the fact that she's a woman, I would've killed her long ago!"
Song Siwen smiled lightly.
It was not that Siao Tieying did not want to kill Lu Yurong, but he could not.
Lu Yurong almost never left the house. Moreover, her methods were brilliant and her bodyguards were strong. Lu Yu Rong, on the other hand, almost killed the Second Lady of the Yi Public House.
Siao Tieying scoffed, "You've all been used by Lu Yu Rong!"
Song Siwen and the other five were also furious. They had almost been fooled by such a simple trick. He had actually been fooled by a woman!

Chu Li was lying on a low bed under the Glory's Will Tree. The sun was setting and the courtyard was dyed red. He squinted his eyes and felt the force of the Glory's Will Tree. At the same time, he was feeling the force of the Perishable Touch.
The Glory's Will Tree was overflowing with vitality, while the Finger of Nirvana was lifeless, constantly devouring vitality to strengthen itself.
The aura of the Perishable Finger seemed to have a life of its own. It was quiet during the day and active at night.
The aura of the Glory's Will Tree was active during the day and even more active at night. It absorbed sunlight during the day and moonlight at night. The sunlight made it strong and the moonlight made it grow. Chu Li felt more and more exquisite under the contrast of the force of the Perishable Touch.
He was heavily injured and fully felt the wonders of the force of the Glory's Will Tree. Feeling the Perishable Touch, he had a deeper understanding of the Scripture of Life and Death. Life and Death. Growth. A subtle understanding gradually grew in his heart.
He felt that he had touched the door to the second level of the Scripture of Life and Death.
Xue pushed the door open and sat on the edge of Chu Li's bed. Her faint body fragrance floated over.
The sunset dyed her white face a rosy red, as if intoxicated. She was delicate and charming.
"Master, Brother Jiang said that he has done what you asked."
Chu Li opened his eyes and nodded.
Xue asked curiously, "Master, what did you ask Brother Jiang to do?"
Chu Li smiled.
Xue became even more curious, "Master —!"
At this moment, footsteps were heard from outside. Suru pushed the door open and came in. She looked at Chu Li with a smile, "Good news!"
Xue got up and bowed. She quickly asked, "Chief, what's the good news?"
"Things have finally come to an end," Suru pursed her lips and smiled, "This group of Imperial House Protectors is sure that Chu Li is innocent. He did not kill Zhao Zilai!"
"Thank God! Thank God! "Xue put her palms together and let out a long sigh of relief. She quickly went to the pagoda to get an embroidered stool.
Suru elegantly and dignified sat on the embroidered stool and smiled, "It's all thanks to Lu Yurong's plan. She found someone to identify Chu Li and wanted to kill him. In the end, Master Xiao Tieying intercepted the person and revealed the truth with just a few words!"
"Master Xiao Tieying is so powerful?" Xue was surprised.
Suru smiled, "Master Xiao Tieying is not powerful?"
"Master Xiao Tieying is wise and powerful!" Xue smiled sweetly.
Suru rolled her eyes at her and looked at Chu Li, "This time, you can rest in peace and recover as soon as possible. Lady Xiao Tieying said that she wants you to accompany her to find the Thunder Guiding Blade."
"Has the Thunder Guiding Blade been found?"
"Not yet."
"Lady Xiao Tieying wants to go?"
"Yes, Lady Xiao Tieying said that Master Xiao Tieying wants to stay in the Public House. It's best if she goes. She wants you to follow her too, so you have to recover as soon as possible. If there's really news about the Thunder Guiding Blade, you have to leave immediately!"
"… Why would I want to join in the fun? Just let Lady Xiao Tieying bring a few more Grandmasters."
"You can say that to Lady Xiao Tieying." Suru rolled her eyes at him and suddenly smiled, "Lu Yurong also has times where she overreaches herself. This time, it's all thanks to her. Even a wise man would make a mistake!"
Chu Li smiled and nodded, "This time, I really have to thank Lu Yurong."
"Hmph, what an insidious woman! She must be furious that she failed at the last moment! "Suru rolled her eyes at him and stood up," Do you need any spirit medicine? "
Chu Li said, "I don't need any spirit medicine. I'll slowly heal myself."
"Alright then," Suru stood up and said, "Let's go."
Xue quickly stood up and sent him off.
Xue returned to Chu Li's bed and sat on the edge of the bed. She put a piece of watermelon into his mouth, "Master, what did you ask Brother Jiang to do?"
Chu Li smiled and did not answer.
"If you don't tell me, I'll ask Brother Jiang. He'll tell me." Xue scoffed.
Chu Li smiled, "You can't tell anyone about this."
"Of course!" Xue patted her full chest.
Chu Li said, "Actually, it's nothing much. I just helped Lu Yurong."
"Help Lu Yurong?" Xue blinked her big bright eyes. She was confused, "How did you help her?"
Chu Li said, "I helped her find a witness."
Xue's eyes suddenly widened. She pointed at Chu Li, "That witness … That witness was found by you, Master?"
Chu Li smiled.
Xue blinked her big bright eyes and thought for a while. Then, she shook her head and sighed, "Master, you're too … I was worried for a long time! Why didn't you tell me earlier! "
