Zhuo Feiyang was enraged. Chu Li had a knack for pleasing women. Even someone as arrogant as Chief Su had taken a liking to him, not to mention Junior Sister Zhao … Zhuo Feiyang laughed coldly as he thought of this, and drank two glasses of wine in one go.
Bai Zhijie remained silent.
This was too depressing. Chu Li's relationship with Chief Su was troublesome. If Master Zhuo wanted to cripple Chu Li, Chief Su would not let it go.
As the Chief Su of the Island of Jade Guardian, one word from her and Master Zhuo would not be able to stay in the Public House.
Zhuo Feiyang lowered his head to eat. Bai Zhijie ate two mouthfuls as well. The dishes here were delicately prepared. There were not many dishes on each plate, but they were delicious.
The two of them turned their gloominess into appetite, finishing the dishes on the table in one go. Then, they burped and drank wine, looking around casually. The surroundings were already filled with people, and beautiful women were walking back and forth, serving tea, dishes, and wine.
They were all dressed in moon-white gowns. They looked simple and elegant. Their bodies exuded a faint fragrance that calmed one's heart. One could not have any dirty thoughts. One could only feel the beautiful women moving around in front of them.
"Sigh …" Bai Zhijie sighed.
A pub like this would always have customers, especially men.
Zhuo Feiyang slammed the table and said, "Guards!"
Two beautiful women stepped forward and smiled gently. "Dear guests, have you finished your meal? Would you like some fruits? "
Zhuo Feiyang nodded. "Sure! But, we didn't bring any money. "
The two women were stunned. This was the first time they met a freeloader.
They looked at each other. One of the beautiful women said, "Master Zhuo, please don't joke with me!"
Zhuo Feiyang said coldly, "I'm not joking. I really didn't bring any money!"
"Then … this sword will do." One of the women pointed at the long sword on his waist.
Zhuo Feiyang smirked. "This is my sword. As long as the sword lives, I live. If the sword dies, I die!"
"Master Zhuo, what do you plan to do?" The woman smiled. "Do you really want to eat for free?"
"Yes, I will eat for free!" Zhuo Feiyang laughed. "What do you want to do with me?"
One of the women left.
Zhuo Feiyang glanced at her, crossed his arms, and laughed coldly. "Don't tell me you're keeping thugs around here?"
The remaining beautiful woman shook her head and smiled, "This Young Master has misunderstood. We will go and report to the innkeeper. The innkeeper will decide how to deal with this. We are just serving dishes and cannot make the decision."
Zhuo Feiyang looked at her deeply. She could still maintain a gentle smile even when facing him. Where did Chu Li find this woman? She was really something!
A moment later, Zhao Ying appeared in front of him and frowned at him. "Senior Brother Zhuo?"
When he saw Zhao Ying, Zhuo Feiyang's face turned red, but then his expression darkened. It seemed that the two of them had gotten together. This Junior Sister Zhao did not know how to respect herself. What was wrong with her? Why did she have to be with Chu Li?
Thinking of this, he was annoyed and resentful. With a gloomy face, he scoffed, "Junior Sister Zhao, are you the shopkeeper here?"
Zhao Ying nodded. "Sort of."
"Not Chu Li's pub?"
"I'll help take care of it."
"Who are you to him? Why would you help him like this?" Zhuo Feiyang laughed coldly. "Don't tell me you two are really together?"
"Of course not!" Zhao Ying frowned. "Senior Brother Zhuo, don't cause trouble. Pay up and leave!"
Zhuo Feiyang?? The Cherry Corpse Brimstone?
"You don't have money?" Zhao Ying burst out laughing. "What a joke!"
"I don't have money anyway. Do as you see fit!" Zhuo Feiyang braced himself and said coldly, "This is Chu Li's pub. You don't have to worry about it. If he wants money, let him ask me for it!"
"Senior Brother Zhuo, you're in the right to go back on your word?" Zhao Ying said angrily. "One hundred taels. Hurry up!"
"One hundred taels? That expensive?" Bai Zhijie blurted out, but quickly shut his mouth.
Zhuo Feiyang laughed coldly. "Chu Li sure is ruthless. He's ripping me off. I've just eaten half my fill, and it's a hundred taels?"
"The price of each dish is written clearly. Don't order if you think it's too expensive!" Zhao Ying said impatiently. "You're just looking at the expensive ones. A normal table costs fifty taels. Alright, you can leave!"
"I don't have money!" Zhuo Feiyang scoffed.
Zhao Ying waved her hand. "Don't be an eyesore here. I'll tell Senior Brother Chu!"
"… Master?" Bai Zhijie hesitated.
He was at a loss. He wanted to make a scene and force Chu Li to show himself. If Chu Li did not accept the challenge, he would come and make a scene every day. Let's see if Chu Li could handle it!
Zhuo Feiyang frowned and stared at Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying touched her face. "What's wrong?"
Zhuo Feiyang laughed coldly. "Junior Sister Zhao, you've changed!"
Zhao Ying said angrily, "Senior Brother Zhuo, I should be the one saying that to you!"
Zhuo Feiyang looked for her the moment he came out of his isolated cultivation. He wanted to defeat her to avenge his defeat. A man like him was narrow-minded. She looked down on him.
"How have I changed?" Zhuo Feiyang asked.
Zhao Ying waved her hand. "Alright, this is a pub. You should leave after you're done eating. I'm very busy. I don't have time to mess around with you."
This was a pub owned by the women of the Raging Tiger Troupe. Senior Brother Chu Li had already said that all the earnings would go to them. Zhuo Feiyang was here to freeload. How unreasonable!
Zhuo Feiyang was annoyed by her attitude. "Alright then. Tell Chu Li that if he wants money, he can come and find me!"
"I know, I know!" Zhao Ying waved her hand impatiently.
Zhuo Feiyang stood up and left the Leisure Cloud Pub with Bai Zhijie.
He looked back at the Leisure Cloud Pub and heard the laughter coming from inside. He scoffed and decided to come back tomorrow. He wanted to see how much Chu Li could endure. If he did not accept the challenge, he would come again!
Bai Zhijie whispered, "Master, I didn't know that Senior Sister Zhao was here."
"Don't mention her!" Zhuo Feiyang said coldly.
Bai Zhijie quickly shut his mouth. He felt that the two of them were a little dejected. Senior Sister Zhao was the Master's nemesis. If Senior Sister Zhao was not here today, things would have gotten out of hand.

It was early in the morning and the sun was shining brightly. The training field in front of the Martial Arts Hall was unusually noisy.
More than two hundred Protectors were training. Some were swinging their swords, which gleamed with a cold light. Some were training with knives, while others were training with spears. There were also some who were training with strange weapons. There were also many who were training with their fists and palms. Everyone was training in their own way.
Zhuo Feiyang was practicing his swordsmanship in a corner of the training field. The flash of his sword was like snow, which enveloped him.
Bai Zhijie was practicing his swordsmanship beside him. His sword was swift, but it was not as good as Zhuo Feiyang's.
It was obvious who was better. Bai Zhijie had been taught by Zhuo Feiyang and his swordsmanship had improved tremendously. However, he was still at the Pulse Opening Stage. His speed and strength were much weaker than Zhuo Feiyang's.
Bai Zhijie was already very satisfied. He could not be compared to a genius like the Master. Compared to the same batch of people, he was already far ahead.
A small boat floated near them. A young girl in a white gown got off the boat and came to the training field.
Her skin was as white as snow. Her eyes were black and bright. It was as if she was looking down on everyone.
She walked towards Zhuo Feiyang and stood quietly at the side.
When Zhuo Feiyang saw the beautiful girl, he was instantly filled with energy. The flash of his sword became brighter.
Bai Zhijie, on the other hand, was a little absent-minded. He glanced at her from time to time, wondering who she was. It was the first time he had seen such a beautiful girl. He would never forget her if he had seen her once. She should not be a nobody.
The Master was very talented and attracted women. However, it was the first time a woman was so bold and direct. Her cold temperament and alluring face made Bai Zhijie feel uncomfortable. However, seeing that the Master was focused on his training, he did not dare to disturb him.
After a while, Zhuo Feiyang sheathed his sword and smiled at the girl. "Sister, what can I do for you?"
The cold girl said, "You are Master Zhuo Feiyang, right?"
"Yes, I am!" Zhuo Feiyang closed fist saluted.
"That's good." The cold girl said, "I am Xue Ling. I am here on the orders of my Master to collect the debt that Master Zhuo owes. One hundred taels, thank you!"
"Wait!" Zhuo Feiyang's smile froze. He quickly asked, "Who is your Master?"
"My Master is Chu Li." Xue Ling bowed slightly.
"Chu Li?!" Zhuo Feiyang's face darkened. He said coldly, "You are Chu Li's maid?"
"Exactly." Xue Ling nodded slightly. "Yesterday, both of you did not pay the bill after your meal at the Leisure Cloud Pub. Master sent me to collect the money. It's only right and proper to pay your debts!"
Xue Ling was like a magnet that attracted everyone's attention. Everyone in the martial arts field was secretly staring at her. Initially, they were all envious of Zhuo Feiyang's luck with women. He was a genius in martial arts and was also handsome. Which woman would not like him?
They did not expect that she was not an admirer of Zhuo Feiyang, but a debt collector instead. They could not help but be secretly delighted. Their hearts were filled with joy, and they could not wait to scream and take a sip.
Bai Zhijie hurriedly shouted, "Young lady, don't talk nonsense, who owes you money!"
Xue looked at him coldly. "What? You want to go back on your word?"
"That's enough!" Zhuo Feiyang cut Bai Zhijie off and said coldly, "Alright, Chu Li has won. Zhijie, give her the money!"
Bai Zhijie looked at Zhuo Feiyang helplessly, his face revealing a troubled expression.
Zhuo Feiyang scoffed and said, "What's wrong? My words don't work?"
Bai Zhijie quickly whispered, "Young Master, I didn't bring any money with me."
"Bastard!" Zhuo Feiyang glared at him and scoffed, "Then go back and get it!"
"Yes!" Bai Zhijie quickly responded, turned around and left.
The entire martial arts field was silent. Everyone had heard what they said, and their eyes were filled with amusement and gloating.
Zhuo Feiyang's handsome face was so dark that it looked like it was about to freeze. He stared at Xue Ling with an unfriendly gaze.
Xue Ling slightly lowered her eyes and did not look him in the eye.
Zhuo Feiyang laughed coldly. "Since when did you become Chu Li's maid?"
Xue Ling did not speak, as if she did not hear anything.
"Hmph, you're just like Chu Li!" Zhuo Feiyang sneered in disdain. "What a waste of such a beautiful face!"
Xue Ling still did not speak, she was as silent as a log.
This made Zhuo Feiyang even angrier. He felt like he had become a joke. He could feel the mocking and mocking gazes around him, wanting to drown and swallow him up. Now that he had become a joke, he believed that the whole Public House would know about it by today.
Chu Li, you're really ruthless, we're not finished yet!
He roared in his heart and looked at Xue Ling coldly.
Xue Ling stood there quietly, like a jade statue, but she attracted everyone's attention.
They were curious as to who Chu Li was, to have such a maid. He must be lucky with women, they were so envious of him!
Bai Zhijie ran back, panting heavily. He took out two banknotes, one hundred taels each.
Zhuo Feiyang took one of them and threw it on the ground. "Take it, give it to Chu Li!"
He turned around and left after he said that.
Xue Ling quietly bent down to pick it up, her expression did not change as she slowly walked away.
Everyone shook their heads and sighed. This Zhuo Feiyang was a genius in martial arts, but he had gone too far. He was so ungentlemanly towards a delicate beauty!
