The two of them drank in the New Moon Brothel and enjoyed the top-notch singing and dancing of the brothel.
Jiang Kuai, on the other hand, sneaked out of the city under the cover of night.
As soon as he got out of the city, he used his Lightness Skill to his heart's content. Under the moonlight, he was like a wisp of smoke. From time to time, he would take a Peiyuan Pill and continue his journey.
In the middle of the night, he arrived at a small city. He went to an inn in the city and asked the innkeeper a few questions.
Finally, he knocked on the door of a small courtyard.
The small courtyard was already very quiet. It was obvious that they had fallen asleep. The knocking on the door was especially loud.
A young woman's voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
"I'm a Protector of the Public House. I've been ordered to deliver an item to Valley Leader Mei," Jiang Kuai said in a deep voice.
"Wait a moment," the young woman said.
A moment later, the courtyard door was pulled open. The courtyard and the hall were brightly lit.
Mei Ao Shuang sat on the armchair in the main hall. Her face was gloomy and her gaze was sharp. She looked like she had just woken up.
The charming middle-aged woman, Qin Xiaofeng, sat on one side. Two young and pretty girls stood behind Mei Aoshuang, staring at the door.
Jiang Kuai strode into the main hall and gave a fist salute. "Greetings, Valley Leader Mei. I'm here on Chief Chu's order to present an item."
As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his bosom and handed it over with both hands.
A young woman stepped forward to receive it and passed it to Mei Ao Shuang.
Mei Ao Shuang sneered, "Surnamed Chu?"
"Yes, Chief Chu," Jiang Kuai said.
"That Chu fellow is deliberately looking for trouble, isn't he?" Mei Ao Shuang held the letter and glared at him in annoyance. "What time is it now? Why can't you come tomorrow? It's so late at night, what's so urgent about it? "
Qin Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Valley Master, Chief Chu also knows the severity of the matter. Let's see what it is first."
"Hmph!" Mei Ao Shuang's anger was still hard to quell. She opened the envelope and looked inside. Her expression immediately changed, and she hurriedly poured out the slightly withered Moon Eater Grass.
"Eh?" Fong Xiaofeng was surprised. She turned her head to look at Mei Ao Shuang. This is …? "
Mei Ao Shuang's expression was solemn and solemn. She picked up the Moon Eater Grass and looked at it carefully a few times in front of her eyes. She raised her head and looked at Jiang Kuai, "What did he say?"
"Chief Chu didn't say anything. He only asked me to send it to Valley Leader Mei as soon as possible, "Jiang Kuai said.
"He didn't say anything?!" Mei Ao Shuang snorted coldly.
Qin Xiaofeng asked, "Valley Master, is it really the Moon Eater Grass?"
Her voice trembled slightly.
She knew very well what this Moon Eater Grass meant.
Taihua Golden Pills were used up one after another. The fundamental reason was that the Moon Eater Grass could not be found. It was almost extinct.
Among the many spirit herbs in the Taihua Golden Pill, the only one that was missing was the Moon Eater Grass. Without the Moon Eater Grass, he could not refine the Taihua Golden Pill.
The Taihua Golden Elixir signified the achievements of the Tai Hua Valley disciples, and it determined the strength of the Tai Hua Valley.
In order to find the Moon Eater Grass, Tai Hua Valley had expended too much manpower and resources. Unfortunately, the result was hopeless. They had searched the entire world and still could not find the Moon Eater Grass.
He had never expected to see the Moon Eater Grass here today!
"Hmph, go back and tell Chu Li that I'll be there tomorrow!" Mei Ao Shuang carefully put the Moon Eater Grass back into the envelope. Keeping it in his embrace, Zhang Xuan said in annoyance, "Tell him not to worry!"
She immediately saw through Chu Li's intentions. He felt that she was delaying him and was urging her to hurry over!
Jiang Kuai gave a fist salute. "Sorry for disturbing you, I'll take my leave now!"
He turned around and fluttered away, disappearing into the night.
"What does Chief Chu Li mean by this?" Fong Xiaofeng asked.
"He's urging us to hurry over," Mei Ao Shuang said coldly. "Cunning fellow! If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why do you have to use this kind of method to play tricks! "
Fong Xiaofeng laughed secretly.
If Chief Chu Li really said it directly, not only would the Valley Leader not listen, she would even dawdle even more. They had to wait for Chief Chu Li to leave the Public House and go to the Imperial Residence of King An before they arrived at Chong Ming Town.
"Valley Leader, how many Moon Eater Grass do you think Chief Chu Li has?" Fong Xiaofeng asked excitedly.
Mei Ao Shuang frowned and thought for a while. She scoffed and said, "I think it's quite a lot, or else he wouldn't be showing it off! This damn fellow! "
Fong Xiaofeng said, "The Moon Eater Grass is very important to us. Valley Leader, please don't throw a tantrum. Talk to Chief Chu Li, we'll buy as much as he has!"
"… Elder Qin!" Mei Ao Shuang stared at her with dissatisfaction. "Such an important matter, of course I won't mess around!"
"Sigh …" Fong Xiaofeng was very worried.
The Valley Leader hated men. However, she usually ignored men when she saw them. She was too lazy to say a word. However, when it came to Chu Li, she was especially energetic. Her fighting spirit was high and she wanted to surpass Chu Li.
They were just like enemies from her past life. If he told her not to worry, it would be strange if she could.
Mei Ao Shuang said, "I'm just afraid that this fellow will ask for a sky-high price."
"Chief Chu Li won't do such a thing." Fong Xiaofeng said, "Don't forget about Chen Ying and the others. Maybe he will give it to us for free."
"For free?" Mei Ao Shuang sneered. "This kind of person, will he do such a losing deal?"
"Valley Leader, you …" Fong Xiaofeng shook her head helplessly.
Mei Ao Shuang raised her voice. "Alright, everyone, don't sleep anymore. We'll hurry through the night. We must reach Chong Ming Town by tomorrow!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded.
—
Chu Li and Han Fei drank to their heart's content at the New Moon Brothel. They only returned to the Public House late at night. They did not cultivate and went straight to sleep.
When they woke up at dawn, they sighed heartily. After washing up with Xue Ling's help, they were about to cultivate when a jade chime came from outside.
Xue Ling floated out lightly.
She quickly returned and smiled. "Master, Valley Leader Mei and the others are here!"
Chu Li laughed. "It really works. I'm sorry for troubling Brother Jiang."
He left the Public House directly and went to the Sky Brothel with Xue Ling.
The Sky Brothel was already very lively. The breakfast at the Sky Brothel was also superb. Many people came straight for breakfast in the morning and then strolled around the streets for half the morning.
Mei Ao Shuang sat at a table near the window on the third floor. She looked coldly at Chu Li who was walking up.
Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled. "Valley Leader Mei, sorry for not coming out to meet you."
Mei Ao Shuang looked a little weathered, but it added a strange sense of beauty. She was like a haggard beauty, which made her even more lovely.
Her jade face tensed up. She said coldly, "Head Chief Chu Li, this time it goes your way, right?"
Chu Li sat opposite her and nodded at Fong Xiaofeng with a smile.
Mei Ao Shuang originally wanted to attend the banquet alone. Fong Xiaofeng insisted on coming along. She was afraid that Mei Ao Shuang would throw a tantrum again and mess things up.
If it was any other time, it would be fine if it was messed up. She was the Valley Leader and Fong Xiaofeng did not want to interfere. However, this was not a trivial matter. It concerned the rise and fall of Tai Hua Valley.
Chu Li smiled. "Valley Leader Mei, there is no need to rush. I plan to let them wait until the Second Lady's wedding before leaving."
Mei Ao Shuang had originally decided not to lower herself to his level. For the sake of the Moon Eater Grass, she would endure it.
But when she heard this, she suddenly became angry. "No need to rush? No need to rush you … "
Chu Li interrupted her and smiled. "But I wanted to let Valley Leader Mei know about this good news earlier. So I asked someone to send it over early to see if it is the Moon Eater Grass that you need."
Mei Ao Shuang gritted her teeth. She stared at him hatefully. "Good, good! … That's right, it is the Moon Eater Grass! "
She took a deep breath. Her towering chest rose and fell violently. She decided to endure this anger for now.
Chu Li smiled. "That's good. I found more than a hundred of them. I will give them all to Valley Leader Mei!"
"For me?" Mei Ao Shuang's anger was suppressed.
Chu Li said, "I have no use for the Moon Eater Grass. It just so happens that Valley Leader Mei needs it. We are considered a family now. Valley Leader Mei can just take it. There is no need to treat me like an outsider!"
"Who is family with you!" Mei Ao Shuang could not help but scoff.
Fong Xiaofeng hurriedly smiled. "Chief Chu Li, thank you very much. But we can't just take it for free!"
Chu Li nodded. "If that's the case, I will ask Valley Leader Mei for a small favor."
"What favor?" Mei Ao Shuang looked at him cautiously.
