Suru pursed her lips and glanced at Chu Li. She did not know how the Lady would react.
The three of them walked on the boardwalk on the lake and came to a waterside pavilion that was adjacent to Suru's.
Suru stood at the door and said, "I'll go check the food first!"
She said and ran out, leaving only the two of them in the waterside pavilion.
Faint laughter came from the valley in the distance. The disciples of Snow Lunar Pavilion were practicing and were in high spirits.
Chu Li's swordsmanship demonstration made them discover a new world. They always felt that the swordsmanship of other sects was exquisite while their own was ordinary. Now it seemed that it was not the swordsmanship that was bad, but they were not good enough.
Chu Li opened the window and found a garden stool to sit on.
Xiao Qi sat in front of the window. The sun shone on her white jade-like face. She looked like a beauty carved from white jade, untainted by the world.
Chu Li frowned. "Injured?"
"Too anxious." Xiao Qi shook her head. "I heard from Xiao Ru that Big Brother …"
Chu Li nodded and looked at her face. He felt that the injury was not light. "Did you get injured from fighting with someone?"
"I was guarding Master in isolation. How could I have the chance to fight!"
"How is your master's injury?"
"With the Emerald Sky Pill, she will recover soon."
"What about you? You need to continue your isolation."
"Hmm." Xiao Qi glanced at him. "I know Song Yuning. She is generous and open-minded. Most importantly, she is kind. She will be a good wife to Big Brother."
"Unfortunately, she has a bad temper."
"This is not a big flaw." Xiao Qi said, "Big Brother can tolerate it."
Chu Li nodded.
Master Xiao Tieying had many flaws but also many strengths. He was the most tolerant. He was generous and open. He could tolerate Song Yuning.
More importantly, Song Yuning was also a smart woman. She knew when to stop and when to stop. This was a great wisdom. Not every lady had this kind of intelligence.
Xiao Qi sighed. "Chu Li, I'm afraid I will stay here for at least ten years. I'll leave the Public House to you."
"That long?" Chu Li frowned.
Xiao Qi was extraordinarily intelligent. She had a cold and indifferent temperament and was not tainted by the secular world. Logically speaking, it was very easy for her to comprehend the Integration of Heaven and Man. No matter how slow it was, it would not take ten years.
Xiao Qi gently shook her head. "It's the heart technique's problem. I was too impatient, and it produced the opposite of what I wanted. … Second Eldest Sister and Big Brother, I'll need you to take care of them."
"Of course." Chu Li said, "The Public House is my home."
Xiao Qi flashed a smile.
Chu Li looked at her quietly.
Siao Qi's bright eyes turned away and looked at the lake. Her eyes were brighter than the lake water.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Chu Li asked. He wanted to use the Omniscient Mirror.
Even if Xiao Qi could sense it, she would be enraged, but it was better than being blinded.
Xiao Qi raised her hand to cover her eyes. "Don't mess around!"
Chu Li had no choice but to give up. "What is it?"
"Actually, it's nothing much." Xiao Qi put down her hand. "I'm going into isolated cultivation for ten years this time."
"Go into Isolated Cultivation for ten years?" Chu Li was surprised.
Xiao Qi nodded.
Chu Li said, "You don't want me to come, right?"
Xiao Qi rolled her eyes at him. "Train your mind and not be disturbed by external things. Only then will you have a chance to reach the Grandmaster's Boundary."
"That's true." Chu Li nodded. "But ten years is too …"
He shook his head again. Ten years was too long. He felt that he could not endure it.
The pain of lovesickness was too unbearable. He was restless, distracted, and absent-minded. He was suffering all the time. That was why he could not wait to come over.
"If it goes well, he might come out earlier." Xiao Qi said, "When that time comes, I don't know what will happen to the Public House. Will Big Brother be able to hold on? How is Second Eldest Sister living? You …"
She gently shook her head. "But ten years is very fast."
"Fast …" Chu Li shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Let's not think about this. Tell me about the Public House." Xiao Qi said, "You've schemed against Lu Yurong again. With her personality, she will definitely try her best to get it back. You have to be careful of her!"
Chu Li said, "I have been guarding against her. This time, I plan to go to the Ren Public House to take a look and train a few spies."
"You should plan well." Xiao Qi said, "Her tricks are hard to guard against. It's best to know one step ahead."
As the two talked, Suru came in with the dishes.

Chu Li wished he could stay in Xiao Qi's waterside pavilion.
After talking about the Public House, they talked about the martial arts world. There were endless things to talk about. Later, when he saw Xiao Qi's tired expression, he reluctantly left.
Xiao Qi was seriously injured and became so weak. He wanted to ask her about it tomorrow. However, with the Emerald Sky Pill, it would not matter if she was injured. She would recover soon.
He left the snow lake in the sunset and went to his pavilion.
When he was about to read, there was a knock on the door. A young girl in green came in. "Master Du, Master's Senior Shen wants to see you!"
Chu Li followed the young girl back to the lake and came to a waterside pavilion in the middle of the snow lake.
This waterside pavilion had two floors. The surrounding five waterside pavilions were the same. Standing in front of the window on the second floor of the waterside pavilion, one could overlook the surroundings and see everything.
The young girl in green went in and Chu Li followed into the main hall.
The main hall was covered with a moon-white carpet. It was bright and soft. In the middle was a purple carpet that made people dare to step on it.
A beautiful woman sat on the armchair in the middle. Her face was like a hibiscus. Her charm and innocence were mixed together. It was enough to make men go crazy.
She supported her chin and sat quietly on the armchair. When she saw Chu Li come in, she left the armchair and walked out. She waved her hand. "You can leave."
The two young girls in green retreated gently.
"Follow me." She hooked her fair, jade-like fingers.
Chu Li followed her out of the waterside pavilion. Her fragrance lingered in his nose.
She came to a small pavilion on the lake and sat by the stone table. She gestured for Chu Li to sit down.
Chu Li sat opposite her. Looking at her from a close distance, he could feel her amazing beauty. Her skin was like jade and her black and white eyes were clear and bright. It was as if they could absorb people's spirit.
The breeze on the lake was gentle and it felt comfortable on his face.
She rested her chin on her hand, her eyes as clear as water, quietly sizing Chu Li up.
After a while, she nodded. "Chu Li?"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
As Xiao Qi's master, it was impossible that she did not know her true identity.
"Xiao Qi's mother is my sister." Shen Yinghu said.
Chu Li suddenly understood.
She was Xiao Qi's aunt. He must not be afraid!
Shen Yinghu sighed. "Xiao Qi is in trouble now."
Chu Li pricked up his ears and listened.
"She cultivates the Regal Sword Scripture. You know about it, right?" Shen Yinghu said.
Chu Li nodded. "Her mother taught her."
"It was found in an ancient ruin. It is a real ancient study that can help one become an enlightened master." Shen Yinghu said. "But the Regal Sword Scripture is difficult to learn. It is very demanding on one's aptitude. I tried to cultivate it but I could not find the right path. Xiao Qi's aptitude is the most suitable for this scripture. If there are no accidents, she has a sixty to seventy percent chance of becoming an enlightened master before the age of thirty!"
Chu Li was surprised. He did not expect the Regal Sword Scripture to be so powerful.
Shen Yinghu said, "Unfortunately, she is now trapped in the Innate Mastery."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Shen Yinghu looked at him. "The Regal Sword Scripture focuses on the state of mind. The Regal Sword Scripture forgets emotions. If one cannot be emotionless, then it is not suitable to cultivate this scripture. If one has emotions, then it goes against the Regal Sword Scripture. It is like water and fire cannot coexist."
"Is it because of me?" Chu Li asked.
Shen Yinghu nodded slowly.
An inexplicable complicated thought came into Chu Li's mind.
