The two left the Stargazing Tower. Chu Li saw that Suru was unhappy and smiled. "Chief, they can't do anything to me if I stay in the Public House!"
"You can't stay in the Public House forever, right?" Suru scoffed. "Even though you're a Scribe."
"After a while, everything will be fine. The Tempest Temple is very busy. They won't be waiting to kill me forever."
"You're wrong about that!" Su Ru furrowed her brows. "These monks are all made of stone. Once they set their sights on something, they will definitely achieve it. None of the people they want to kill have escaped unscathed. You must not be careless. You are not allowed to leave the residence!"
"Will there be any problems in the town?"
"It should be fine in the town." Suru hesitated. "After all, they still have their concerns. They don't usually cause trouble in the town, but it's best to stay in the Public House."
"That's good …" Chu Li smiled.
Suru sighed. "You … you really know how to cause trouble. You've provoked the Tempest Temple. That's a real problem!"
Chu Li shrugged. "I have no choice. I always want to help when I see injustice. If I don't get rid of the Raging Tiger Troupe, I'll have to face my conscience!"
"Let's go." Suru did not know what to say. He was indeed doing a good deed, but it was hard for good people to be rewarded. The world was unfair.
The two passed through a dense forest and a small courtyard was hidden by the trees.
There were a total of twelve courtyards. They kept a distance from each other and were quiet so that they would not disturb each other. The design was unique.
Suru brought him to a courtyard in the middle.
"This is the guest house of the Lady." Suru pointed at the continuous courtyard. "It was originally used to entertain friends. It's not used much these years. It's very quiet and no one comes here."
Chu Li looked around. "Not bad."
The courtyard was located in the middle of the forest. It was well-hidden and quiet. He liked this kind of place the most. It was full of spiritual energy and the air was fresh.
"Let's take a look at this one." Suru opened the door to the courtyard. To the west was a bamboo forest. Beside the forest was a small pavilion. To the east was a flower garden. In the flower garden, there was a pond of fish. Sitting in the pavilion, one could admire the bamboo scenery, the flowers, the fish, and the insects. It was quiet and elegant.
The two stepped into the courtyard. Chu Li looked around and nodded in satisfaction.
"Then you can stay here. You can stay in the East Garden or here. How about building the spiritual field in the forest?"
"In this courtyard."
"It's not a small place?"
Chu Li said, "You don't need to be too big at the beginning. Just try exploring."
He didn't have much experience and only had theories. He needed to know a little bit. If the scene was too big, the loss would be too great if he made a mistake.
"Hmm, that's fine too. The spiritual soil will be delivered tonight. Let's start!" Suru revealed an excited expression, "The Andromeda you gave me last time was very good. Young Lady's martial arts improved by leaps and bounds. You contributed a lot!"
Chu Li smiled.
"But don't be arrogant. Young Lady needs a lot of rare herbs to practice martial arts. You might not be able to get them all." Suru smiled and said, "At that time, you won't be so proud!"
Chu Li smiled. "I understand, I understand."
"Clap clap!" Suru clapped her fair little hands twice.
A voluptuous young lady appeared at the entrance of the courtyard. Her figure was explosive.
She wore a snow white gown and was extraordinarily beautiful. She had a dignified bearing, and she was like a young lady from a distinguished family. Her graceful bearing faintly revealed a trace of arrogance.
Chu Li turned to look at Suru.
"This is Xue Ling, the maid assigned to you." Suru smiled and said, "If you need anything, just tell her to do it."
"Greetings, Master!" Xue Ling stepped forward to greet him.
"This … I don't think that's necessary?" Chu Li hesitated.
Suru smiled lightly, "You can't do everything yourself. You can use Xue Ling without worry. She's very smart. She knows everything about the island!"
Chu Li looked at Xue Ling and activated the Omniscient Mirror.
She was a proud person. She looked respectful on the outside but she was disdainful on the inside. She did not take him seriously at all. It was not easy to use such a maid.
"Why, you don't like her?" Suru smiled and said, "Xue Ling, she's the prettiest on the island. You don't like her?"
Chu Li looked at Xue Ling and smiled, "Wouldn't it be a waste of her talent?"
"You're rank six and she's only rank eight. It's not a waste of her talent … Alright, you can do it yourself. I'll come back tonight!" Suru waved her little hand and stopped before she turned around. "Oh right, Xue Ling also knows martial arts. She's not that delicate. You can't bully her!"
"I don't have the guts!" Chu Li laughed.
Suru chuckled. Her gown fluttered and she slowly left.
Chu Li looked at Xue Ling. Xue Ling's eyes were lowered. Her fair and delicate face was tense. She did not move an inch like a statue, allowing him to stare at her as he wished.
Chu Li coughed softly, "Don't be so serious."
He walked into the pagoda and sat down at the stone table.
Xue Ling walked in gracefully. She stretched out her slender hands and started to busy herself. She added water to the red clay stove and lit it up. Her movements were skillful and elegant. It was pleasing to the eye.
Chu Li looked at her movements and said gently, "I'm a very picky person. I have a lot of problems and requests. I hope you won't cry to the Chief!"
"Don't worry, Master. I'll fulfill my duty as a maid." Xue Ling said lightly.
Chu Li smiled, "Alright, that's all I ask. Duty!"
"I'll do my duty!" Xue Ling replied coldly.
The maids of the Public House were also guards of the Public House. They belonged to the Public House and were not private property. Chu Li could not do whatever he wanted.
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. It was not comfortable to have such a beautiful maid by his side. The power of a beautiful woman was invisible. It made one's hands and feet tied. He could not order her around. It would be best if it was a male Scribe.
Unfortunately, the men on the Jade Guardian Island were all Protectors. There were no Scribes.
The red clay stove gurgled and white steam rose.
Xue Ling took out a white jade teacup and brewed a cup of tea elegantly. She presented it with both hands. Her expression was cold and her actions were respectful.
Chu Li took the teacup and took a sip. The tea was fragrant and refreshing. The tea was good. The skill of making tea was also good. It was obvious that she had undergone strict training.
As he drank the tea and admired the rustling of the green bamboo, his thoughts gradually drifted away.
How should he deal with the pursuit of the Tempest Temple? Although the Tempest Temple did not usually cause trouble in the town, it was not impossible.
It was as if there was a sword hanging above his head that could fall at any time.
The only way was to break through to the Grandmaster's Boundary.
If he wanted to reach the Grandmaster's Boundary, he needed to achieve the Boundary. He could only gain the opportunity to enter the faction to train.
However, Lady Xiao needed to complete the Innate Mastery first. Since he had done something, Lady Xiao did not need to rely on him anymore. Only then would he have the opportunity to enter the faction to train.
He just did not know what kind of spirit herbs Lady Xiao needed and whether he could grow them.
They were both Innate Mastery, but there was a difference in the level of attainment. Once he had achieved the true Oneness of Heaven and Man, his inner energy would be as pure as the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth.
Chu Li benefited from the Life and Death Scripture and the Omniscient Mirror. After entering the Innate Mastery, he entered the later stage. If he wanted to enter the Grandmaster's Boundary, the only thing he lacked was the Boundary.
Although they were both Innate Mastery, their techniques were different. Their abilities could not be compared. The Infinite Azure Sea was strong, but it could not be compared to the Sentient Menace. When the Sentient Menace was cultivated to its peak, even an Innate Mastery could dominate the world.
Thinking of this, his mind was clear. The Sentient Menace. The most important thing now was to cultivate the Sentient Menace so that he could escape even if he encountered an assassination.
He got up and walked to the pagoda. He got into a strange posture and started to cultivate the Sentient Menace.
A vast amount of inner energy flowed into his body. He kept activating the heart technique of the Sentient Menace. The pure and vast inner energy turned into a strange aura that traveled through his skin, flesh, muscles, and bones.
The cultivation of the Sentient Menace was very energy-consuming. An Innate Master would not be able to cultivate it for more than a few times before he ran out of inner energy. Relying on the Life and Death Scripture, Chu Li's inner energy was almost endless. As he continued to cultivate, he advanced very quickly.
Without his Life and Death Scripture, the disciples of the Tempest Temple would need to consume pills to cultivate. They would need a lot of pills, and the Sentient Menace was cultivated by piling up pills.
Only a faction like the Tempest Temple could afford to cultivate it. For a normal faction, even if they had the Sentient Menace secret manual, they would not be able to cultivate it. They could not afford to consume so many pills.
Through the Sentient Menace heart technique, the vast inner energy turned into a strange aura that traveled through his muscles. He felt more energetic and powerful.
He cultivated it again and again, almost non-stop. He cultivated from morning until noon. He only stopped when Xue Ling brought him lunch. He went into the living room and sat at the square table to eat quietly. He did not say a word, still immersed in the cultivation of the Sentient Menace.
Xue Ling stood at the side and looked at him without saying a word. In the bright living room, only the sound of Chu Li chewing could be heard clearly.
After a while, Chu Li put down his chopsticks. "I'm going out for a while. You don't have to follow me."
"Yes," Xue Ling replied respectfully.
After eating, Chu Li did not cultivate. Instead, he took a stroll to digest the food. He left the courtyard and went through the forest to the edge of the island. He boarded a small boat and returned to the East Garden.
Li Yue was cooking. When he saw Chu Li, he quickly asked what he wanted to eat. Chu Li told him that he had finished eating.
Li Yue looked at him helplessly. Chu Li told him that he would be spending most of his time on the Jade Guardian Island.
Li Yue's eyes lit up. "Brother, you're rich!"
Chu Li smiled.
Li Yue brought out the food and sat on the stone table to eat. "The Jade Guardian Island is Lady Xiao's private place. If you can stay there, it means that you've entered Lady Xiao's circle. Success is just around the corner!"
Chu Li smiled. "It's not that easy. If you don't do your job well, Lady Xiao won't be merciful!"
"That's true." Li Yue swallowed his food and agreed with him. "Lady Xiao is fair and impartial. She won't tolerate any mistakes. If you try to dawdle or do something bad, Lady Xiao won't hold back. Be careful!"
Chu Li said, "I'll leave the East Garden to you from now on."
"Leave it to me!" Li Yue patted his chest. "But if there's a problem, you'll have to solve it!"
"Of course, I'll take care of both sides." Chu Li nodded.
Li Yue smiled. "What about the residence outside the Public House? Can you take care of it?"
Chu Li smiled. "I have Sister Zhao."
"Hehe, you and Sister Zhao are progressing well!" Li Yue smiled slyly. "You're about to get her, right?"
"It's not that easy. A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. You can't be careless. Don't spout nonsense!"
"Of course not!" Li Yue patted his chest. "I'm very tight-lipped! … I heard that Zhuo Feiyang has isolated himself again. Be careful! "
Chu Li nodded.
Zhuo Feiyang was very talented. If he really put in the effort to cultivate, he would have no problem breaking through to the Innate Mastery level. Chu Li would not underestimate Zhuo Feiyang.
Although Li Yue guarded the East Garden, he was very well-informed. He had a wide range of contacts. Every day, he would go out of the island to communicate with people. He had heard countless rumors, some true and some false, but they were all very interesting and enjoyable.
As he ate, he happily explained the reason why Zhuo Feiyang isolated himself.
It was because he couldn't beat Zhao Ying and couldn't bring himself to lose face.
Zhao Ying's swordsmanship was amazing. She was very impressive in the martial arts hall. Very few people could beat her in swordsmanship. She was getting more and more famous. She was another martial arts genius.
