Linquan said, "Young Master need not worry too much. Second Mistress is only closer to you because you have saved her many times, just like you and I."
"It's not the same …" Siao Tieying shook his head, "I know this second sister of mine very well. No matter how many times I save her, she won't be close to her … Forget it, I can't control her too much. Heh, who can control her!"
At this point, his face darkened again, and he was extremely angry.
Lin Quan smiled without saying a word.
Siao Tieying clenched his teeth for a while and finally sighed, "What a pity. I should have broken off the engagement with Prince An. It would have been a good idea to marry her off to Chu Li."
Lin Quan was silent.
Siao Tie Ying sighed again. His face was gloomy.
His little sister clearly knew that Prince An had ill intentions, but she still wanted to enter the residence. In the end, it was all because of his incompetence as her big brother!
Annoyed, he got up and went to the back garden to vent his frustration on his martial arts.

Siao Shi returned to the Titanium Temple and entered the house. She lazily sat on the chair, took off her veil and looked up at him, "Lu Yurong is not that easy to convince."
Her beautiful face was like white jade, emitting a warm luster that made people want to caress her. Her eyes were like two deep pools, making it difficult for one to pull themselves out.
"I'll meet her in person," Chu Li muttered.
He could not see through Lu Yurong. After a few encounters, he knew that once she made up her mind, it would be hard for others to persuade her. However, he still had to try and see if there was a chance to find out anything.
"I can only wish you good luck." Xiao Shi waved her hand. "Your cultivation time in the Titanium Temple is limited, don't miss it."
"I'll be back today." Chu Li nodded and suddenly disappeared.
In the next moment, he appeared outside Green Mountain City. His white robe fluttered in the wind as he slowly walked to the city gates. He showed the white jade pendant on his waist to the guards.
When the guard saw his jade pendant, his eyes flickered and he respectfully returned it.
Once Chu Li entered the city, he immediately called for someone to take his place. Then, he slipped into the city and rushed to the Ren Public House as fast as he could.
The sun was setting. Lu Yurong was reading a book in a gazebo in the back garden. She was dressed in a loose white robe with her hair hanging loosely over her shoulders.
Flowers bloomed outside the pavilion. Dyed red by the setting sun.
There was a beautiful maid sitting on each side of her, smiling as they brought the melon fruits to her mouth.
A slender maid entered the pagoda lightly and said softly, "My Lady, Chu Li from the Yi Public House has entered the city."
"Chu Li?" Lu Yu Rong put down the scroll, lazily sweeping it away. He sat up straight and asked, "When?"
"He just entered the city." The slender maid said, "When Meng Zhanglin saw the token, he immediately came to report!"
"How dare you!" Lu Yu Rong slapped the scroll and sneered, "How dare you enter my Green Mountain Town alone. What do you think the Public House is?!"
"Miss," the slender maid said, "should we send someone to capture him immediately?"
"… Not yet. Let's wait and see what he wants to do!" Lu Yu Rong scoffed, "Such a smart person, he wouldn't come here to die. He's most likely here!"
"Looking for Miss?" The three maids widened their eyes in surprise.
Lu Yurong said, "Otherwise, would he dare to enter the city? … Little Xing, go guard the entrance of the mansion. Call for me as soon as he arrives! "
"Alright." The slender maid, Little Xing, responded crisply and left lightly.
Lu Yu Rong lightly slapped the scroll, deep in thought.
The two maids did not speak and did not move, so as not to disturb her deep thoughts.
After a while, Lu Yu Rong scoffed and slammed the scroll heavily on the table.
No matter how she thought about it, Chu Li was here to make peace.
To ease the grudge of the bride kidnapping last time? To prevent ruining the marriage between the Yi Public House and the Imperial Residence of Prince An?
Hmph, Chu Li was the smartest. How could he not notice Prince An's true attitude?
She delayed taking action. She wanted to watch a good show. She wanted to see how the Yi Public House would fall into the hands of Prince An. It would save her the trouble of doing it herself!
They would counterattack and exhaust Prince An's strength. That would be even better!
Chu Li's visit, could it be that he was begging her to take action, to snatch the bride, to sever his relationship with Prince An, and to save the Yi Public House from disaster?
How could there be such a good thing!
"Miss! Miss! "Little Xing flew to the backyard like a breeze and went to the pagoda," Miss. He sent an invitation to the Public House! "
She said as she handed over a quaint invitation.
Lu Yu Rong gestured for her to open it.
Little Xing opened the invitation.
Lu Yu Rong glanced at it and scoffed, "Lou Wailou invited me for a drink, … Ignore him!"
"Ah —? Ignore him? "Little Xing was surprised," Are we supposed to forgive him? "
"Hmph, since he's in Green Mountain Town, how can we let him have the final say?" Lu Yu Rong said lightly, "Ignore him, let him wait!"
"Will he tell the world that Miss is afraid and doesn't dare to keep the appointment?" Little Xing hesitated.
"Let him say what he wants," Lu Yu Rong said, "Forgive him for a few days!"
"Yes, put a stop to his arrogance!" The maids smiled and said, "We should teach him a lesson!"
This Chu Li was really hateful. He caused Miss to stumble a few times and made her angry. It was time to teach him a lesson and let him know that this was Green Mountain Town!

Dusk came and the Titanium Temple was brightly lit.
The Buddhist lamps on the pagoda were lit. The wind outside avoided these lamps and they did not sway.
The novice monks had finished their dinner and were playing in the courtyard.
Siao Shi came out of the house and waved, "Young monk Xu An!"
The novice monks who were playing quietened down and stared at her with wide eyes.
Siao Shi waved, "Come here!"
Xu An ran to her, "Almsgiver Siao?"
"Help me move the chair out and over there," Siao Shi pointed at the pagoda where they were playing.
"Alright," Xu An agreed and went into the house to move the chair out.
He had strong limbs now and it was easy for him to move the chair to the pagoda.
Siao Shi sat on the chair and stretched her body lazily. She looked at the novice monks and chuckled, "Little monks, after you heard that I took off my veil, you all tried your best to calm down. Can you do it?"
"Lady almsgiver, we've already seen through the charms of women!" The novice monks looked at her proudly, "Even if you took off your veil, we wouldn't be afraid."
"You're good." Siao Shi smiled and looked at Xu An, "Didn't you just recover? Why aren't you cultivating? "
Xu An looked helpless, "I still can't cultivate."
"Oh, you can't cultivate even when your body is healed?" Siao Shi smiled, "What's the logic behind that?"
Xu An sighed, "Master said that my connection with the mortal world is not over yet, the time to cultivate is not yet."
"Then when is the time?" Siao Shi asked.
Xu An shook his head, "Master said there's no rush, there's no rush."
"Don't tell me you can only cultivate when you're old?" Siao Shi chuckled.
Xu An said, "Master said that I'm a disciple of the Titanium Temple after all. It's just that my connection with the mortal world is not over yet, the time is not yet. There's no rush now, I'll eventually cultivate the divine powers and cultivate the Ten Lifetimes of Dharma."
"Then listen to your master." Siao Shi smiled, "There's nothing good about cultivating. It's fun to play like this. Look at me, I can't cultivate either, but isn't it fun too?"
"Almsgiver Siao, you're not happy," Xu An shook his head.
Siao Shi scoffed, "Nonsense! What about your parents, were they willing to send you to the temple? "
Xu An said, "I don't have parents."
"Looks like they left you behind, poor little monk," Siao Shi said, "I'm the same, I don't have parents."
Xu An asked, "What about Almsgiver Chu?"
"Him …" Siao Shi shook her head.
"Almsgiver Siao isn't happy, is it because of Almsgiver Chu?" Xu An asked.
Siao Shi was startled, then laughed, "Oh, little monk, you know about relationships?"
"We have to see through the nature of all living beings," Xu An said, "Resentment, separation, pain, everything has to be freed."
"You're like an old man!" Siao Shi smiled, "Little monk, you don't have a mother, do you want me to be your mother? I don't have a son yet, having a son should be interesting! "
Xu An's eyes widened, he was at a loss.
Siao Shi laughed.
Xu An quickly shook his head, turned around and ran.
Siao Shi couldn't stop giggling.
The novice monks looked at her in surprise, a little envious.
