The next morning, after breakfast, Xue handed Chu Li two snow chickens.
He carried it to the East Garden.
Lee Yue happily stewed the snow chicken, and the two of them chatted together. Chu Li was still the caretaker of the East Garden, so he would occasionally come back to visit.
At noon, he and Li Yue sat in the gazebo in the garden, drinking chicken soup, chewing on chicken, drinking wine, chatting and laughing. By the time they finished eating, it was already late afternoon.
The two of them went to the garden to work for a while, and it was already evening.
Chu Li left the East Garden and arrived at the Leisure Cloud Pub.
Leisure Cloud Pub was already bustling with noise and excitement.
He lifted the curtain and entered. He saw Chen Xue and Meng Yan standing side by side, like two beautiful flowers.
The two girls widened their eyes and were about to step forward.
Chu Li immediately waved his hand, gesturing for them to keep quiet and find a seat. Chen Xue pursed her lips into a smile and did not step forward.
He walked into the main hall. The other half of the hall was already full, leaving only the seats in the main hall. As soon as he sat down at an empty table, a tender voice called out, "Young Master Chu!"
Chu Li raised his head. Not far from him stood a graceful beauty, dressed in a bluish-white gown. She was stunning, it was He Binghua.
Chu Li smiled and waved his hand.
He Binghua walked over gracefully and smiled, "Young Master Chu, what a coincidence!"
Chu Li smiled. "It's quite a coincidence. Have you found your master?"
He Bing Hua smiled sweetly and said, "My master is over there. Why don't you join us?"
Chu Li asked, "Valley Leader is here too?"
If the Tai Hua Valley's Valley Master was also there, it would be awkward if they met. It would be better not to.
"Yes, the Valley Master is here too." He Bing Hua smiled and said, "It's alright, the Valley Master also wants to see the Young Master. Follow me."
"I'll be troubling you then," Chu Li said.
He Binghua gracefully arrived at a private room.
There were four people seated around a round table that was surrounded by three folding screens. When they saw He Binghua, Sun Lihua and Zhang Feihua stood up and stared at her with wide eyes. "Young Master Chu?"
Chu Li gave a fist salute and smiled.
Other than Sun Lihua and Zhang Feihua, there were four people sitting at the table. There was also a middle-aged woman and a young beauty.
The middle-aged woman still retained her charm. She smiled sweetly and was as beautiful as a peach.
The young women were even more beautiful, but as cold as ice. She kept people at arm's length.
He Binghua smiled and said, "Valley Master, Master, I met Young Master Chu."
Then, she introduced them to everyone and sat down to talk.
The middle-aged woman was Tai Hua Valley's Elder, Qin Xiaofeng. The young woman was Tai Hua Valley's Valley Leader, Mei Aoshuang.
Qin Xiaofeng was graceful and charming. She smiled sweetly and said, "Young Master Chu, thank you so much for saving my three disciples twice. I have nothing to repay you with, so let me first offer you a toast!"
After saying that, she picked up the silver cup and drained it in one gulp.
"You're too kind, Senior Qin." Chu Li finished his drink in one gulp.
Qin Xiaofeng put down her silver cup and said with a smile, "This time I went out with the Valley Master to meet a friend. The three of them did not want an old woman like me to go with them, so they took a different route. In the end, they were young and impulsive, and actually destroyed the Ping Ze Mountain. They offended Green Hill. "
Chu Li nodded. "It's true that Solace Hill has a bad reputation, but I didn't expect it to be this bad."
Speaking of which, this was the result of the government's incompetence and inaction.
The Great Ji Dynasty had been established for hundreds of years, and the officials were no longer honest. If you pulled out ten officials, it might be unjust to execute all of them, but it was definitely not unjust to execute one after another. The officials were corrupt and did not do anything.
Chu Li was a rank two Scribe of the House of High Dukes, and had a high position. However, he could not control the government, so he was powerless.
The government should have wiped out evil bandits like the Solace Hill a long time ago.
This situation was different from the Raging Tiger Troupe. The Raging Tiger Troupe had Innate Masters. They were targets of the House of High Dukes. The House of High Dukes failed to wipe them out for their evil deeds. The Solace Hill had no Innate Masters, so it was under the government's jurisdiction.
Qin Xiaofeng said, "Green Hill is ruthless. If it wasn't for you, the three of them would have lost their lives. They really don't know the dangers of Jianghu! "
Chu Li said, "Looks like Green Hill will continue to pester us."
"Then let them come!" Qin Xiaofeng smiled lightly.
She was a Grandmaster, so she was not afraid of Green Hill.
Chu Li was puzzled. Tai Hua Valley was only a second-rate faction. They should not have any Surpassing State. How could they have two Grandmasters?
Qin Xiaofeng being a Grandmaster was already shocking enough. Mei Ao Shuang was also a Grandmaster. She was about the same age as him, but she was already a Grandmaster. No wonder she was famous in the martial arts world.
Mei Ao Shuang was just like her name, she was as cold as ice. She only nodded lightly when He Binghua introduced her, and did not say a word.
Chu Li did not need to use the Omniscient Mirror to know that she did not like to talk, nor did she like crowds. More importantly, she was a Scribe of the House of High Dukes.
She said lightly, "Master's Junior Qin."
Qin Xiaofeng slapped her forehead and smiled lightly, "Look at me, I'm old. Take it.
She took out a green jade bottle from her sleeve and placed it on the table, "Master Chu, I have no way to repay you for saving my life. This is a bottle of Taihua Gold Pill. It is our Tai Hua Valley's unique medicine. It can change one's physique. Take it as a token of gratitude. I hope Master Chu does not mind."
Chu Li closed fist saluted, "Thank you, Senior Qin."
He picked up the green jade bottle and kept it in his sleeve. Although he did not know what kind of pill the Taihua Gold Pill was, since it was taken out to thank her for saving his life, it was definitely not an ordinary item.
He activated the Omniscient Mirror and saw Qin Xiaofeng's heartache.
The Taihua Gold Pill could change one's physique, allowing those who did not cultivate to achieve the effect of cultivating their physique. It had endless uses. Because the herbs were rare, the valley could only produce two or three pills every year. She gave them all to Chu Li.
Seeing that he accepted it so readily, Qin Xiaofeng's smile widened, "Master Chu, you are already a rank two Scribe of the House of High Dukes at such a young age. How rare."
Chu Li smiled, "It was a coincidence that I made a few contributions."
He closed fist saluted, "Then I shall not disturb you any further."
At this moment, Chen Ying came in wearing a bluish-white gown. When she saw him, she pursed her lips and smiled, "Master, you are here. You know Valley Leader Mei?"
Chu Li smiled and turned to walk out.
"Stop!" Mei Ao Shuang suddenly shouted.
Chu Li turned his head to look at her. This was the first time Mei Ao Shuang spoke. Her voice was slightly hoarse but magnetic. It tugged at his heartstrings.
Mei Ao Shuang said, "Young Chen Ying, is he the master you were talking about?"
"Yes." Chen Ying smiled, "I did not expect Valley Leader Mei to know master."
"Is he the one who did not allow you to be my disciple?" Mei Ao Shuang asked.
Chen Ying smiled embarrassedly, "Valley Leader Mei, I did not want to."
"You think you can hide it from me?" Mei Ao Shuang scoffed and turned to look at Chu Li, "Master Chu Li, I did not expect you to be Young Chen Ying's master."
Chu Li said, "Thank you for your kindness, Valley Leader Mei."
"Why did you not agree?" Mei Ao Shuang said, "Although the Tai Hua Valley is not a first-rate faction, it is not bad either. Would Young Chen Ying be wronged?"
Chu Li waved his hand, "Valley Leader Mei, you are too serious. I did not want her to get involved in this mess."
Qin Xiaofeng quickly smiled, "Master Chu Li. Come, sit down and talk. I did not expect such a coincidence. Our Valley Leader thinks that Chen Ying has a good aptitude. It is a pity for her to stay here. Our Valley Leader is eager to take her in. "
Chu Li said, "The people of the martial arts world fight and kill. It is not suitable for Chen Ying."
"Young Chen Ying has excellent aptitude. She will surpass me in the future." Mei Ao Shuang said, "She will definitely become a Grandmaster. Do you have the heart to let her serve others here? "
Chu Li smiled, "It is not easy to become a Grandmaster. Who knows how many dangers she will have to go through. Forget it."
Mei Ao Shuang squinted her eyes and said coldly, "You are afraid that she will surpass you?"
Chu Li was startled and then laughed, "You can say that."
"Narrow-Minded and intolerant!" Mei Ao Shuang sneered.
"Valley Leader!" Qin Xiaofeng hurriedly waved her hand and smiled at Chu Li embarrassedly, "Master Chu Li, please don't take it to heart. Valley Leader has a bad temper. She really has good intentions. She cannot bear to see such a good talent being wasted."
Chu Li said, "Senior Qin. I think Chen Ying is doing very well now. Although she is serving others, no one dares to mess around. She does not have to fight and kill. She will not encounter danger. She can live a peaceful life. "
"You have no ambition!" Mei Ao Shuang gave him a sidelong glance.
Chu Li ignored her and closed fist saluted at Qin Xiaofeng, "I will take my leave first."
"Stop!" Mei Ao Shuang scoffed.
Chu Li turned his head and looked over, "Valley Leader Mei, what advice do you have?"
Mei Ao Shuang said coldly, "Young Chen Ying should choose her own path. Who are you to decide?"
Chu Li spread his hands, "Then let Young Chen Ying decide for herself."
"Doesn't she listen to you?!" Mei Ao Shuang scoffed.
Chu Li smiled, "Then I have no choice."
Mei Ao Shuang was furious and glared at him fiercely.
It was not easy to find a person with such exceptional qualifications. As long as he cultivated the heart technique of Tai Hua Valley, he would be able to soar into the sky and amaze the world with a single feat, stepping into the Grandmaster's Boundary in one go.
Such a genius. She was actually serving others here. It was a sin.
And this sinner was Chu Li. Unfortunately, Chen Ying listened to Chu Li. If Chu Li did not agree, Chen Ying would not agree.
Based on her temper, she would have beaten Chu Li to the ground a long time ago. She would choke him and force him to agree obediently.
She also knew that doing so would only make Chen Ying further away. She could only forcibly endure and restrain her temper and impulsiveness. However, her anger was getting stronger and stronger.
She took a deep breath. Her proud chest rose and fell violently. She suppressed the anger that kept rising and said in a low voice, "Tell me, what do you want to do to make you agree?"
Chu Li shook his head, "I can only disappoint Valley Leader Mei's good intentions. Goodbye."
A red shadow flashed and a fragrant smell assailed his nose. Mei Ao Shuang floated to the door and blocked Chu Li's way. She stared at him coldly.
Chu Li looked at her with a smile, calm and quiet.
Fong Xiaofeng hurried forward and pulled Mei Ao Shuang to sit down. She smiled, "Everything can be discussed. Valley Leader, don't be impatient. Let me talk to Master Chu."
Chu Li said, "Senior Fong need not say anything. This matter is settled. Goodbye."
After that, he stepped out of the room and strode out.
Mei Ao Shuang wanted to get up but was held back by Fong Xiaofeng.
Chen Ying and Lee Yue hurried to catch up with Chu Li.
Chen Ying said guiltily, "Master …"
Chu Li smiled, "It seems that Valley Leader Mei really values you. She wants to fall out with me."
Chen Ying said embarrassedly, "I will make it clear to Valley Leader Mei."
Chu Li said, "It's useless to say anything. She has set her sights on you. … Oh right, you should rest in the Public House for a few days in case she does anything!"
Mei Ao Shuang entered the Grandmaster's Boundary at such a young age. She must be proud and arrogant. She was also the Valley Leader. She would ask for anything. If she was rejected, she would do anything. She might even snatch Chen Ying away.
Chen Ying smiled, "Valley Leader Mei is not that kind of person."
"I hope not." Chu Li said. He waved his hand and left the Leisure Cloud Pub.
