After serving Chu Li his meal, she saw that he was focused on studying formations. She knew that he would not listen to her no matter what she said, so she left the Glory's Will Courtyard and sailed the boat to the East Garden.
Li Yue stood at the shore to welcome her.
When he saw her, he waved his hand happily.
Xue waved her hand lightly and did not move until the boat reached the shore.
Li Yue walked up and laughed, "Miss Xue, is Brother Chu back?"
Xue had always been swift and decisive in her actions. She was very punctual. She came later than yesterday. The only person who could make Xue delay her was Chu Li.
Xue landed on the shore lightly, "Yes, he just came back."
"Sigh … It's too tiring for him to be a chief. He's busy all day long." Li Yue sighed, "It's not as peaceful as the East Garden. It's better to be a rank nine Scribe. It's relaxing."
"Master has no choice. He doesn't like to be busy. But now that things have happened, he has to deal with it." Xue walked in lightly and asked, "Is Sister Liu here?"
"Not yet." Li Yue shook his head, "She's late today."
Xue stopped and frowned slightly. She turned her head to look at the lake far away.
Liu Liu was never late. Why was she late today? Did something happen?
The New Moon Brothel was under the protection of the House of High Dukes. No one dared to mess around but the world was unpredictable. There would always be people who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. Master had dealt with two groups of people before. There might be more.
"I'll go take a look." She turned and walked back.
Li Yue quickly said, "She might have been delayed. Miss Liu is also under the control of the New Moon Brothel. She has no choice."
"Yes." Xue floated onto the boat.
Li Yue looked at her helplessly. The boat swung away from the shore like an arrow and disappeared in a moment.
He sighed and shook his head. Miss Xue was cold and arrogant. Only Chu Li could control her.
Chu Li told him that he wanted her to practice dancing with Miss Liu of the New Moon Brothel in the East Garden. That night, he was so excited that he could not sleep. Miss Liu was on the top floor of the New Moon Brothel. To be able to see her every day was his luck.
Although it was difficult for women like Miss Liu to fall in love with men. Their hearts were tightly shut, and very few men could enter them. But as time passed, they fell in love with each other. They saw him all day long and took the opportunity to court him. Perhaps it would succeed.
If he could marry Lady Bi Liu as his wife, what more could he ask for?
Unfortunately, the reality was not as wonderful as he thought. Because Xue Ling was there.
Xue Ling was a completely different person in front of him compared to when she was in front of Chu Li. She was as cold as ice and kept people at a distance of a thousand miles. She did not pretend to be polite even though he was a good friend of her Master. This made him so angry that his teeth itched, but he could do nothing about it.
He could not possibly complain to Chu Li. He said your maid was too cold and arrogant.
Xue Ling was well-mannered, and no one could find fault with her. Chu Li could not possibly ask her to smile at him, could he?
Fortunately, they were cold. After all, they were two great beauties. Ever since they came, the East Garden had changed a lot. The surrounding air was more fragrant, as if it carried the delicate fragrance of their bodies. Life suddenly became better. The world around him was much brighter, and every morning when he woke up, he was happy.

Xue saw Bi Liu on the lake.
Liu stood at the bow of the ship, her green gown fluttering in the wind. Her slender body seemed to move with the wind like a willow branch. Although Xue Ling was a woman, she could not help but admire Liu Liu when she saw her.
Liu's maid rowed the oars. The speed was not fast, but compared to Xue Ling's ship, it was like an old bull and a galloping horse.
Xue Ling let out a long sigh of relief. The small ship shot over.
When it was near, she lightly leaped onto Liu's ship, held her slender waist, and floated back. She urged the small ship to shoot away, and in the blink of an eye, the maid's small ship was nowhere to be seen.
"Sister, what happened?" Xue Ling stood side by side with Liu, her white gown fluttering in the wind.
She saw Liu's delicate eyes were swollen, and it was obvious that she had cried last night. She said softly, "What happened?"
Liu looked at the clear surface of the lake and shook her head gently.
"Then what happened?" Xue Ling turned to look at her.
Liu sighed faintly.
Xue Ling said, "Sister, we are not strangers. Why can't you say it!"
Liu smiled bitterly, "It's the trouble at home."
"Where is sister's hometown?"
"Town of Clouds."
"Didn't your parents bring you here?"
Xue Ling was very surprised. The women in the New Moon Brothel were all rich, and they had all bought houses in the town. They usually lived in their own homes, and only came to the New Moon Brothel when it was their turn. Normally, they would bring their parents to live a comfortable life.
Chong Ming Town was not only prosperous and lively, it was far better than other places. It was also the safest place to live.
"… They despised me for entering the New Moon Brothel." Liu's delicate face showed bitterness.
"Sigh … no wonder." Xue Ling sighed, "Sister, why don't you redeem yourself?"
"If I redeem myself, how am I going to support myself?" Liu sighed.
"I will beg Master to let you enter the Public House!"
"I have nothing good, and my family is not clean."
"Don't worry, Master will agree."
Liu shook her head gently, "I don't want to trouble Master Chu … and I like this kind of life, free and unfettered."
The New Moon Brothel was not a brothel. They only sold their skills, not their bodies. If anyone wanted to buy their bodies, they could only redeem themselves. With the support of the Public House, no one dared to be unreasonable. The women in the brothel relied on their beauty and talents to survive.
The men they came into contact with every day were either rich or of high status. Their knowledge and vision were unknowingly increased. They were in the upper class all day long, and the New Moon Brothel was incomparably prosperous. How could they be willing to marry and raise their children? If this was Chu Li's past life, it would be like a young superstar retiring from the world.
"You guys …" Xue Ling shook her head, "It's the same as what Master said! … Then tell me, what's bothering you? Tell me, tell me. "
"It's that brother of mine!" Liu held her forehead and sighed worriedly, "He's restless all day long. This time, he was seriously injured. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on any longer."
"Which faction of martial arts is he from?"
Liu shook her head, "He had a master since he was young. I don't know where he came from. He was seriously injured and fell on the side of the road. I saved him and he became his master. Two years ago, his master passed away. He's like a horse without a rein, causing a lot of trouble!"
"The grudges of the martial arts world?" Xue Ling frowned and shook her head, "What martial arts world!"
She did not like martial arts masters the most, "Is his injury very serious?"
"My father wrote to say that he won't make it. He's hanging on by a thread. He won't last more than a few days. The doctor has already given up on medication."
"Then why aren't you going back?"
"Sigh … My father won't let me go back. If I go back, I'll be chased out!"
"… How about this, let's go!" Xue Ling turned the small boat to the left, away from the direction of the East Garden. She sped up again.
The two women's clothes fluttered in the wind. The small boat was like a galloping horse on the plains. After a while, they arrived at a lush green island.
Xue Ling asked Liu to wait on the boat while she floated away. After a while, she came back with a handsome man.
"This is Brother Jiang Kuai. His Light-body Technique is excellent. Let him go and save your brother." Xue Ling floated onto the boat.
Jiang Kuai floated onto the small boat too. He moved the boat and gave Liu a fist salute. He smiled, "I'm Jiang Kuai. Where's Lady Liu's home?"
Liu looked at Xue Ling helplessly and told him her home address.
Jiang Kuai smiled, "I'll rush over as soon as possible."
Liu curtsied, "Thank you, Master Jiang."
