PS: I overdrafted yesterday. I don't know if I can break through today. I'll try my best. Everyone, let's have some excitement!
The Hunting Ceremony ended peacefully. This time, the Holy Church of Light did not cause any trouble, and the teams fought fiercely.
Leng Qiu sat on the back of the horse, her towering chest puffed out, and she was in high spirits.
Leng Qing shook her head without end, and she felt that this little sister of hers was a little too excited.
However, he also understood her. She had been bullied for more than ten years. Now that she had gotten her revenge and turned over a new leaf, she could finally be at ease and fearless. If it were him, he would definitely be excited as well.
When Chu Li saw Leng Qiu like this, he could not help but laugh to himself. However, he felt that he had to give her a taste of suffering and pour cold water on her so that she would not become muddle-headed and think that she was invincible.
Liu Xing came over and whispered, "Head Chief."
Chu Li asked, "How much did you spend?"
"I didn't spend any money." Liu Xing lowered his voice, "I found the two secret guardians, Dong Qifei and Yang Zongwen, and then went to the Verdant Cloud Brothel. The madam readily handed over the person and the contract."
"So easy to talk to?" Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
As the first tower in Fairy's Capital, the Verdant Cloud Brothel must have a strong background. Although he was in the limelight as a Head Chief, he might not be taken seriously by them, so he had to rely on the Secret Guardians Hall.
Liu Xing said, "It is said that this family's backer is Prince Bao, so no one dares to mess around. The madam is very confident, she said that she only agreed because of the Head Chief."
"I can't accept a favor of a hundred thousand taels," Chu Li said. "Send the money over later."
"Yes." Liu Xing nodded.
Chu Li was deep in thought.
Previously, he did not pay attention to the Verdant Cloud Brothel because he felt that its backer was too strong and it was not something that he could touch. Later on, with the Secret Guardians Hall, he had enough information to use. The price of infiltrating the Verdant Cloud Brothel was too high. If the Verdant Cloud Brothel could be infiltrated so easily, it would not exist anymore.
He did not expect it to be opened by Prince Bao. This was interesting.
Prince Bao did not seem like such a person. This kind of money was not easy to earn, and it would tarnish his reputation. However, after thinking about it for a while, he thought about it again. Tarnishing his reputation was exactly what Prince Bao needed.
"How is Miss Mu Qing?"
"Very beautiful." Liu Xing praised.
Chu Li furrowed his brows.
Liu Xing realized that he had misunderstood and said with some embarrassment, "She's fine, there's nothing wrong with her."
"Be careful. If you meet someone with an unyielding character and end your life, it'll be self-defeating." Chu Li said, "Let them watch carefully."
"Yes." Liu Xing quickly nodded.
Chu Li waved his hand. Liu Xing retreated lightly and urged his horse to move faster.
Siao Shi watched as Leng Tao and his men slowly left. She chuckled, "Will your wish come true?"
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "It's hard to predict a person's heart. Let's just watch."
"I think this guy is quite loyal. He won't abandon Prince Cheng's Residence."
"That depends on whether the King is worthy of his loyalty. He can't resist the power of a woman." Chu Li shook his head. "Men can't stand beautiful women. It's in their nature."
"Aren't you able to withstand it?" Xiao Shi cast a sidelong glance at him.
Chu Li smiled and shook his head.
Xiao Shi said, "You don't seem to be in a good mood today. Are you feeling down because you didn't see someone?"
"Miss, what do you want to say?"
"Don't think I can't tell." Xiao Shi chuckled, "You want to see Lu Yurong, right?"
Chu Li was a little guilty but he calmly shook his head, "Miss, you can really imagine things. Let's go, let's go back quickly."
Although he didn't like Lu Yurong, a beauty was pleasing to the eye. Not being able to see her would make him sad.
Siao Shi scoffed and rolled her eyes at him.

Chu Li did not go to see Mu Qing.
She lived in a small courtyard and was served by two maids.
Mu Qing's body was slender like a willow branch. Although her looks were not as good as Siao Shi's, she was still a rare beauty. Her facial features were exquisite and lovely.
Chu Li sighed. No wonder Zhu Tianhua was so loyal to her and broke the rules of the faction for her.
He used the Omniscient Mirror to observe her temperament.
For someone like Zhu Tianhua, once he was with her, he would be the softest and would definitely listen to her. If Mu Qing's temperament was not good enough, it was better to send her far away to prevent himself from raising a tiger.
Fortunately, Mu Qing was a good woman.
From what he saw, she was indifferent and did not care much about worldly things. She liked books and poetry, not martial arts, and also liked fighting.
In the early morning, Chu Li was cultivating in the courtyard. Leng Qiu and Leng Qing were there. They liked it here and felt that it was more refreshing and pleasant than the other courtyards.
Chu Li let them be.
Song Liuying and Xue Ningyu were worried that their daughter would fall for Chu Li but after a while, they felt that they were worrying too much. The two girls did not have such feelings and neither did Chu Li. It was just a simple friendship.
Chief Zhu's voice came from outside, "Head Chief, there is a young man named Zhu Tianhua outside. He wants to see you."
"Bring him to the lady," Chu Li said.
"Yes," Chief Zhu replied respectfully and slowly walked away.
Leng Qiu and Leng Qing put down their swords. They were dressed in tight clothes and looked valiant. After defeating Leng Tao, they became more interested in swordsmanship and continued to cultivate.
"Zhu Tianhua? Is he Leng Tao's Protector? "Leng Qiu asked.
Zhu Tianhua was tall and burly, especially eye-catching.
Chu Li nodded.
"What is he doing here?" Leng Qing frowned, "Is he really going to seek refuge with the Head Chief? … Or is he going to assassinate the Head Chief? "
"I don't know about that," Chu Li smiled.
He had already seen Zhu Tianhua.
Leng Qing said, "His martial arts is very good, right?"
"His cultivation level is not bad," Chu Li nodded, "a level higher than Liu Xing and the others."
"That is rare," Leng Qing was surprised, "the strength of our Public House has increased a little."
Chu Li shook his head and laughed, "He might not be willing to join us."
"Liu Xing!" Chu Li raised his voice.
Liu Xing landed in the courtyard and closed fist saluted, "Head Chief."
"The four of you go and secretly watch over Mu Qing," Chu Li said, "don't let anyone kidnap her."
"That's impossible," Liu Xing was stunned, "Zhu Tianhua is here?"
"The two of them are about to meet," Chu Li smiled, "we must guard against him snatching her and running away."
"Yes," Liu Xing nodded.
He brought Xiang Feixue and the other two to the courtyard where Mu Qing was and hid in the dark.

Under Chief Zhu's lead, Zhu Tianhua came to the outside of a courtyard.
Chief Zhu smiled, "This is Miss Mu Qing's residence. Young Master Zhu, please go in and take a look, Miss Mu Qing is not in a good mood."
"Thank you, Chief Zhu," Zhu Tianhua closed fist saluted.
Chief Zhu said, "everything will be according to the Head Chief's instructions, I shall not disturb the two of you."
He closed fist saluted with a smile and turned to leave.
Zhu Tianhua took a look around.
This courtyard had a single door with a moon gate. A few green bamboos poked out from the top of the wall, revealing a sense of tranquility. As expected of the Imperial Residence, it was exquisite and elegant.
There were no Protectors around, it seemed like they trusted him.
He suppressed his excitement and slowly pushed the door open. He stepped into the courtyard and saw the delicate figure in the middle of the courtyard that he yearned for day and night.
"Miss Mu!" he called softly.
A delicate and slender woman was standing in front of the green bamboos. Her facial features were exquisite and lovely.
Her clear eyes were like water, quietly admiring the strong posture of the bamboos. The tender green reflected vitality, trying hard to disperse her melancholy emotions.
She was a weak woman, her fate was beyond her control. She was like a plaything that was admired, sold to the Verdant Cloud Brothel, and now redeemed.
Until now, she had not met her future owner, she did not know what kind of fate was waiting for her.
