"Third Master …" The man in green heard him yell angrily and quickly called out.
"Ah — —!" Third Master Qi screamed again and stopped abruptly.
"Third Master?" The man in green felt something was wrong and quickly called out.
But there was no movement inside.
"Third Master?!" The man in green shouted, "Third Master, can I go in now?"
There was still no movement inside.
The man in green did not care about anything else and strode into the house. He saw Third Master Qi lying on the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices.
"Third Master?!" The man in green screamed and went forward to check on him. He was already dead.
Chu Li was carrying Zhu Quan as they rode on the wind. They flew past the treetops and crossed the mountains.
Zhu Quan was not afraid at all. Instead, he widened his eyes and looked around excitedly. He cheered from time to time.
Chu Li smiled. He was so brave, as expected of a boy.
Looking at his cheerful expression, he did not look like he was frightened.
"Uncle Chu, can I really see my mother?" He asked with his eyes wide open.
Chu Li smiled, "Yes."
"Then when can I see my mother?"
"I can see her tomorrow."
"I miss my mother so much."
"You and your mother will never be separated again."
"Yes!" Zhu Quan nodded and shouted happily, "We will never be separated again!"
Chu Li smiled.
Third Master Qi should be dead by now. The rest should be dead too.
Zhu Zi Wen died in the hands of Third Master Qi. No matter what he said, it was Third Master Qi who killed him. When Zhu Quan grows up, he will avenge his father and look for Third Master Qi.
Prince Cheng must have suffered a great loss this time. He might investigate further but since everyone who knew about it died, he would not be able to find out anything.
Chu Li had a bad impression of these Princes. Prince An and Prince Cheng had good reputations. If that was the case, it was hard to imagine what would happen to those with bad reputations.
"Uncle Chu, please accept me as your disciple!" Zhu Quan looked at Chu Li eagerly, "I want to practice martial arts too!"
"You have to ask your mother."
"Uncle Chu's martial arts is so powerful. Mother will definitely agree! "
"That might not be the case." Chu Li lowered his head and smiled, "Practicing martial arts is very hard. Your mother might not want you to suffer."
"I can bear hardships!" Zhu Quan hurriedly said, "Father didn't give me anything to eat for two days and I didn't complain!"
Chu Li held onto his little hand as their feet fluttered. "It's even more bitter than that!"
"I'm not afraid!" Zhu Quan shouted.
Chu Li smiled. "I'm very strict when it comes to accepting disciples. You must be smart and knowledgeable enough."
"Studying …" Zhu Quan's face turned bitter.
Chu Li laughed out loud.
As the two of them chatted and laughed, the scenery around them quickly passed by.

Liuxu was lying quietly on the bed, looking at the seaweed well in the room. His heart was at a loss, and his future was unpredictable.
"Mother!" A clear and melodious voice woke her up.
She immediately recognized this familiar and beautiful voice. Turning her head to look, she saw Zhu Quan bouncing into the room and throwing himself onto the bed.
Liuxu widened her eyes and reached out to touch Zhu Quan's face. His delicate skin was warm, which made her realize that she was not dreaming!
"Mother, why are you crying?" Zhu Quan's eyes widened in confusion. He chuckled and said, "I miss my mother!"
Liuxu choked with sobs as she nodded and pulled him into her arms.
Chu Li, Siao Qi and Siao Shi looked into the room and walked out of the building to the gazebo in the middle of the sea of flowers.
"Did it go well?" Siao Qi asked softly as she looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li looked like he had been through a lot. It was really hard for him to go back and forth in three days. He was travel-worn. There was an inexplicable emotion lingering in her heart. It was so complicated that she could not distinguish it.
Siao Shi also stared at Chu Li. She did not blink.
She was getting more and more curious about Chu Li. She wanted to see what kind of person he was and whether he really liked Third Younger Sister.
According to her observation, Chu Li really liked Third Younger Sister. As for Third Younger Sister, she was also restraining herself.
Both of them clearly liked each other, but they were both suppressing it. It was really interesting.
She sighed to herself. It seemed that Chu Li really did save her because he loved her and not because he liked her.
This made her even more interested in Chu Li.
She knew that she was more beautiful than him. Men usually loved women's beauty. Chu Li actually abandoned her and fell in love with Third Younger Sister. He was indeed different from other men.
After Chu Li sat down, he briefly recounted the events that had transpired.
The two women listened attentively and stared at him with their limpid eyes.
Through Chu Li's casual narration, they could feel the thrill of it. It was really dangerous. If they were one step late, the two of them might have taken the child out of the Fairy's Capital. It would be extremely difficult to find them.
"It seems that sometimes silver is more useful than martial arts," Siao Qi said.
Siao Shi nodded.
Chu Li smiled. "Money can move the gods. The power of silver has always been strong. People are used to being impulsive and instinctive. They always use martial arts to solve their problems."
This world was prosperous with martial arts. People were used to using martial arts to solve problems. It was simpler and more direct. Sometimes, it was not easy to get things done.
"It's all thanks to you." Siao Qi shook her head and sighed.
She did not want to trouble Chu Li with everything. After all, Chu Li was now a rank two Scribe. He had a high position and power. These things could be done with just a word from him. However, there was really no one in the Public House who was better at handling things.
Chu Li walked to the front of the table and picked up a brush. He dipped it into the still wet ink stone and drew a portrait.
After a while, a beautiful smiling face appeared on the paper. He blew it dry and passed it to Siao Qi. "Do you recognize this woman?"
"Lu Yurong!" Siao Qi said, "You saw her this time? … She went to the Fairy's Capital? "
Chu Li shook his head. "The one who hurt Prince An is this woman. … Looks like she's a Grandmaster!"
"Impossible!" Siao Qi frowned.
Chu Li said, "She could hurt Prince An so badly. An Innate Master can't do it. What martial arts does Lu Yurong practice?"
Siao Qi frowned and shook her head.
Lu Yu Rong was famous, but very few people had seen her. She was mysterious, and no one knew what kind of martial arts she practiced. In people's impression, she was like Siao Shi, hiding in her room, as if she did not know any martial arts.
Chu Li sighed. "I was almost deceived by her!"
He always thought that Lu Yurong's martial arts was not high. Otherwise, she would not hide in the Public House. If she was a Grandmaster, she could go anywhere in the world. She was not afraid of plots and assassinations. She could resist the urge to do whatever she wanted. Her shrewdness was really amazing.
Siao Qi frowned and did not say anything.
She really did not think that Lu Yurong would be a Grandmaster.
Mei Ao Shuang was the same age as her. She became a Grandmaster not because she was intelligent but because her talent coincided with the heart technique of Tai Hua Valley and she had a fortuitous encounter.
What about Lu Yurong? Not only was she intelligent, she was also a Grandmaster!
"My Lady, I want to personally go to Huay Public House and train a group of spies," Chu Li said.
"Go ahead and do it." Siao Qi nodded. "I will convince Big Brother."
They could not find out such important news. Of course, it was because Lu Yurong was cunning and the spies were incompetent.
All these years, she was mostly dealing with internal affairs. She rarely intervened in external affairs. Big Brother handled most of them. Big Brother was somewhat resistant to these methods, so the spies were inevitably weak.
Chu Li got up. "Then I will go back first."
Siao Qi and Siao Shi stood up and watched him float away.
Chu Li returned to the small courtyard.
Xue Ling smiled like a flower and served him attentively. She first helped him wash up, changed his clothes and served him tea. Then, she brought over a few books on formations that Su Ru gave him so that he could slowly read and study them.
He wanted to break through Tai Hua Valley's formation. Of course, he was worried about Chen Ying's situation. He also had his own thoughts. Tai Hua Valley was very likely to have a Surpassing State. With two Grandmasters, how could there not be a Surpassing State?
If he could see the wonders of the Surpassing State, he might be able to step into the Grandmaster's Boundary!
