Sun Xiaoyang stared at Chu Li vigilantly.
Chu Li stared into Sun Xiaoyang's eyes and smiled. "Do you want to enter the Innate Mastery's Boundary and become an Innate Master?"
Sun Xiaoyang frowned.
Chu Li said, "Sun Xiaoyang, the eldest senior of the Rising Sun Faction."
"Who are you?"
"I'm just a passerby, but we can make a deal."
"What deal?" Sun Xiaoyang became more vigilant.
Chu Li said, "I'll help you enter the Innate Mastery's Boundary, and you'll help me by becoming my eyes and ears. The time limit is ten years."
"Eyes and ears?" Sun Xiaoyang frowned. "What do you want?"
"I won't go against the heavens, and I won't harm your Master or Martial Uncle." Chu Li said, "Your two masters will leave eventually. If you stay in the Rising Sun Faction in the future, then let the Rising Sun Faction help me gather information. If you follow your masters back to the Fairy's Capital, then help me gather information about the Fairy's Capital."
"What news?"
"Major events in the world of martial artists, minor events, rumors and secrets in the palace, rumors in the marketplace, and changes in the bureaucracy are all allowed. There are no limits."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll fool you?"
"If you're trying to fool me, then we'll cancel our deal. I don't like to force others."
Sun Xiaoyang frowned and looked at him. How could there be such a good thing? He didn't seem to have sacrificed anything.
Chu Li said, "If you enter the Fairy's Capital, because of your master, the information that you think is useless will be very important to me. This is where your value lies. Sometimes, a piece of information can save a life."
"Who are you?" Sun Xiaoyang asked.
Chu Li tossed the white jade waist tag to him.
Sun Xiaoyang took it and looked at it. He raised his head and said, "Yi Public House's Rank-2, Chu?"
Chu Li said, "Chief of the Yi Public House, Chu Li."
Sun Xiaoyang had heard some general knowledge from his Master. He knew that the existence of the House of High Dukes was only inferior to the Imperial Family. It could be said to be a colossus. A Rank 2 Chief was definitely an important person, an existence that Sun Xiaoyang had to look up to. Although he had a Grandmaster as his master, he was only an Acquired Master.
Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice, "Can you really help me enter the Innate Realm?"
Chu Li smiled. "It's up to you whether you believe me or not. You can think about it for one night. I'll come back tomorrow. "
"Wait!" Sun Xiaoyang hurriedly said as he sheathed his sword. "Ten years?"
Chu Li said, "Ten years of information in exchange for an Innate Master, do you think it's worth it?"
"You really won't harm my master?" Sun Xiaoyang was still a little worried.
Chu Li waved his sleeves and the door was immediately opened, letting in a gust of cold wind.
He waved his sleeve again. The door was closed again.
"A Grandmaster!" Sun Xiaoyang exclaimed.
Chu Li said, "Do you think I would have to resort to other methods to harm your master?"
Sun Xiaoyang widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
Such a young Grandmaster was simply a peerless genius. His future was limitless. Moreover, he was also the Chief of the Public House. He was definitely a top-notch figure. Even his own Master could only concede defeat.
He looked about the same as himself, but he was already a Grandmaster, while he was still an Acquired Master!
An intense unwillingness surged in his heart like a raging wave.
He completely let down his guard.
The Grandmasters were trying to harm him. There was no need for him to play any tricks at all. He could kill him with a single palm strike. He did not need to play any tricks to deal with his Master either. He was the Rank Two Chief of the Yi Public House. There were many Grandmasters in the Yi Public House. It would be easy for him to kill an Imperial House Protector who was sent here.
"I promise you!" Sun Xiaoyang said.
Chu Li smiled and nodded, "Very well, then let's start now."
Sun Xiaoyang asked excitedly, "What do I need to do?"
"Meditate, relax your mind, get rid of all distracting thoughts, and focus your mind," Chu Li said, "I will help you."
Sun Xiaoyang sat cross-legged on the bed. He began to meditate.
When his breath was calm and his breathing was slow and long, Chu Li approached him and pressed his thumb in between his eyebrows.
A moment later. He withdrew his thumb and floated away.

In the afternoon, Xue and Liu sat in the gazebo of the East Garden and drank tea.
Xue held the teacup and stared at the clear lake in a daze.
Both of them were dressed in pale blue robes with wide sleeves and waists. They were lightly tied with belts. Their slender waists were exposed. They were strong and graceful, valiant and heroic.
"Why are you in a daze?" Liu smiled, "Are you thinking about your Master?"
"No," Xue quickly said.
Liu said with a smile.
Xue blushed and quickly said, "I was thinking about how the sisters who redeemed themselves at the New Moon Brothel are doing. Are any of them having a bad time?"
"Hmm … there are bound to be good and bad." Liu nodded lightly and sighed, "Men are all like that. When they are in a good relationship, they say sweet words and pledge their undying love. Once time passes, they are like a different person."
"Women are afraid that they will lose their beauty when they get older," Xue sighed.
She was secretly glad that she had consumed the Nightmare Flower and would always be beautiful.
"Isn't that so!" Liu nodded lightly.
When it came to age, she could not help but worry. She was very afraid of the sword of time. No matter how beautiful you are, time is merciless. It will eventually turn you into an old woman that no one would spare a second glance at.
Xue smiled, "I'm not afraid."
"You …?" Liu shook her head and smiled, "Sister Xue, you are still young. You don't know the fear of growing old day by day and not being able to fight back. When you are the same age as me, you will understand."
"Sister, have you heard of the Nightmare Flower?"
"Of course!" Liu smiled, "That is a sacred item for women!"
Xue Ling smiled and said, "I've eaten a Nightmare Flower before."
Liu's eyes widened, "You have consumed the Nightmare Flower?"
Xue smiled and nodded.
Liu grabbed her hand, "Sister, do you have the Nightmare Flower?"
"I don't." Xue smiled, "But Master does."
Liu let go of her hand again and sighed, "I am so envious of your luck, sister."
"How about I ask Master for one for you?" Xue said.
Liu's eyes brightened but then dimmed. She sighed, "I cannot accept a reward without doing anything. It is too valuable. I cannot accept it."
"Why not?" Xue smiled, "In Master's eyes, the Nightmare Flower is just an ordinary flower. It is not that valuable."
"How is that possible!" Liu shook her head and laughed, "Just one is enough to make any woman go crazy."
Xue smiled, "Master's standards are very high. He will not be interested in ordinary women. He will not even touch them … Don't be shy. When Master comes back, I will ask for one for you!"
"I really cannot." Liu quickly waved her hand, "I don't want Master Chu to think that I am greedy."
"Sister, you're treating me like an outsider!" Xue Ling smiled.
"Master Chu is generous to you but I am not related to him." Liu shook her head, "This is not appropriate."
Xue tilted her head and smiled, "Then who do you want to be to Master?"
Liu reached out her hand to tickle Xue while Xue evaded with a giggle. The two girls were playing around.
Li Yue was weeding with Ping in the garden. When he heard their bell-like laughter, he shook his head and smiled.
Ping said, "Brother Li, let's take a break."
"What do you mean, you are not so delicate!" Li Yue scoffed, "Don't think of slacking off. Do your work!"
"Sigh … I want to train!"
"There is plenty of time for you to train. Let's get rid of the weeds first!" Li Yue said.
"Did Master Chu do this before?"
"He works harder than I do!"
"… Alright, let's get to work!" Ping sighed weakly.
Li Yue smiled. This little guy liked to play tricks and was lazy. He did not look like he would have a bright future. He was similar to Li Yue. He probably could not become a Protector and could only be a Scribe.
"Sister Liu, which sister is not doing well?"
"I heard that Sister Hong Xiu did not have any children after she got married. She must have been bullied by her mother-in-law."
"Let's go and take a look tomorrow!"
"She is in the city. It is good to take a look."
