Chu Li smiled. "Looks like I'm still useful."
Xue pursed her lips and smiled. Thinking of Chu Li's prestige at that time, her heart could not help but sway.
Chu Li said, "From now on, you can go to the Martial Arts Hall whenever you want."
Xue Ling rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm going alone, I'm not going with you!"
Chu Li smiled. "I went to the library and lost track of time while I was reading. Did you really not find anything?"
"I'm alright." Xue Ling shook her head and sighed. She realized that the notes on the Crescent Cryptic's cultivation were very ordinary. It could be used as a reference for her, but it was not very useful. It was far inferior to the Eight Crescent Cryptic.
Chu Li said, "No matter what, you must practice the Eight Forms of Crescent Cryptic well. You haven't achieved the essence yet. The more you practice it, the better the effect will be, and the faster your Crescent Cryptic will advance!"
"Understood." Xue nodded.
She had read the cultivation notes for the Crescent Cryptic, and only then did she value the Eight Forms of Crescent Cryptic even more. She knew how exquisite it was, and she felt that Chu Li was even more amazing. All the cultivation notes for the Crescent Cryptic in the Martial Arts Hall were limited to the heart technique, and no one had created a martial art like the Eight Forms of Crescent Cryptic to complement it. Chu Li could be said to be the pioneer.
Chu Li sat in the pagoda again and threw a Torso Refinement Pill into his mouth.
He treated the Tendon Connecting Pill like candy. He would take one whenever he had nothing to do. The effects were getting worse and worse, but it was always effective. Over time, the changes in his meridians were obvious. At critical moments, he could use the Infinite Azure Sea.
Xue Ling withdrew her stance and entered the small teacup.
The red clay stove in the gazebo quickly emitted white steam and gurgled.
Chu Li looked at the sky thoughtfully, lost in thought. He was using the energy of the Glory's Will Tree to cultivate the Minute Pulse Cleansing Technique. The Minute Pulse Cleansing Technique was compatible with the Torso Refinement Pill, and the effect was excellent.
Xue gently brewed the tea. Her movements were elegant and smooth. It was pleasing to the eye. Unfortunately, Chu Li did not look at it. She was a little disappointed.
"Master, the tea." Xue Ling presented the white jade teacup with both hands.
Chu Li took it, took a sip, and smiled in admiration.
Xue Ling's entire body instantly felt light and the corners of her delicate lips could not help but curl up.

It was early evening, and Chong Ming Town was very lively. However, the street where the Leisure Cloud Pub was located was very quiet.
The Leisure Cloud Pub was as noisy as the main street in the center of the city. Graceful young ladies shuttled back and forth between the tables, adding a touch of charm to the pub.
A young man dressed in embroidered clothes swaggered to the front of the Leisure Cloud Pub. Beside him was an ordinary-looking manservant of about sixteen or seventeen years of age. The manservant nodded and bowed. "Young Master, Leisure Cloud Pub. That's right, it's here!"
"Hmm …" The young man took out a snow-white fan and waved it. Looking at the words' Leisure Cloud Tavern ', he nodded his head in satisfaction. "The words are well written. However, given this location, will the business be good? There's no one here! "
He was plump and short, and his neck was especially thick. His chubby face was full of pimples, some red and some white, making it hard to look at.
"Young Master, I heard that the business here is very good. If you come late, there won't be a seat!" The manservant hurriedly said, "Let's go in quickly before there are really no seats left!"
"There's no hurry!" The young man in embroidered clothes waved his fan and said confidently, "I'm here. Even if there aren't any seats, there must be seats!"
"Young Master, domineering!" The manservant hurriedly gave him a thumbs up and praised, "Young Master, just say the word and they will have to give way even if they don't want to!"
"Haha, it's good that you understand!" The young man in embroidered clothes raised his head proudly.
The two of them were standing in front of the tavern, commenting on each other. Two young men hurried over and saw them standing outside. They looked at them strangely, thinking that these two were not normal. Since they were already here, why didn't they hurry in?
They took a step forward and lifted the curtains to enter. As the thick curtains moved, a cool air came from inside, mixed with a hint of delicate fragrance.
The young man in embroidered clothes' flat and flat nose twitched a few times. He smiled and said, "It smells good, I like it!"
The manservant hurriedly said, "Young Master, let's go in."
"Let's go!" The young man in embroidered clothes waved his fan.
The manservant hurriedly went forward and lifted the curtains. Instantly, the cool air and delicate fragrance wafted into their noses. Two beautiful women came forward to welcome them.
Chen Ying bowed slightly and smiled lightly, "Young Master, I'm really sorry. There are no seats left tonight. Young Master, you can make an appointment for tomorrow. We will definitely make room for you tomorrow!"
"There are no seats left?" The young man in embroidered clothes looked around and realized that it was very cool inside. There must be a lot of ice cubes. The beautiful woman in front of him exuded a delicate fragrance, which made him very excited.
The manservant said loudly, "It is an honor for your tavern to have my Young Master here. Quickly make room! … Here, this is a hundred taels for you! "
He took out a banknote from his pocket and handed it to Chen Ying.
Chen Ying took a step back and smiled as she waved her hand. She looked at her companion Chen Xue and shook her head helplessly. This situation had happened a few times.
Chen Xue had an oval face, snow-white skin and red lips. Her curved eyebrows slanted to her temples and her eyes were full of spirit. Although she was not as beautiful as Xiao Qi, she was still a great beauty.
Chen Ying smiled and said, "Young Master, this is not appropriate."
"Why is it not appropriate? Let me do it!" The manservant waved his hand arrogantly and took two steps forward to the main hall. He waved the hundred taels banknote in his hand and said, "Gentlemen, if anyone is finishing their meal and vacate a seat, I will give you a hundred taels. This is a small token of my appreciation, thank you very much!"
He smiled and cupped his fists.
The hall became quiet. His words were loud and clear, full of vigor. Everyone glanced at him, and then looked at the embroidered clothed youth. They shook their heads and laughed in spite of themselves. They continued with their own topics, and no one paid him any attention.
The manservant waited for a while, but there was no movement. He furrowed his brows. Money could move the gods, and could even make ghosts turn millstones. However, it had failed today. A hundred taels of silver was not a small sum. Just giving up his seat was a huge profit!
Chen Ying smiled and said, "Young man, I'm really sorry. Please don't disturb the guests. Please come back tomorrow. I'll definitely give you the best seats."
"Young Master …?" The manservant looked at the young man in embroidered clothes awkwardly.
The young man in embroidered clothes snorted. "Reveal your identity!"
The servant hesitated. "But Master …"
"Young?
The manservant nodded helplessly. He coughed lightly and said solemnly, "My young master is Feng Wen, and my master is Feng Shicai!"
"Feng Shicai …" People whispered to each other.
Soon, two people stood up and said loudly, "So it's the young master of Hero Feng. Come, come, let's sit at the same table!"
The young man in embroidered clothes, Feng Wen, waved his fan proudly. The manservant smiled and hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed. "Thank you both, thank you very much!"
The two came to the table for two people. There were only two people sitting at the square table. It was just right for Feng Wen and the young man to sit down.
Feng Wen casually cupped his fists. "Thank you very much. I haven't asked for your names."
The two young men were the ones who had rushed in earlier. They reported their names. Feng Wen did not care and was too lazy to remember them. The manservant stood at the side.
"How is Hero Feng recently?"
"Hmm, not bad. He scolds people loudly and hits people with great force!"
"Haha, that's good, that's good. Hero Feng is old but strong. I'm impressed!"
"He uses all his energy on me. He hits and scolds me all day long!"
"That's because of Hero Feng's kindness."
"Bullsh * t!"
"What has Hero Feng been doing recently?"
"What else can he be doing? He scolds and hits people, old man!"
"Sigh …" The two young men shook their heads helplessly. It was inevitable that a man's wife would be unvirtuous and his son would be unfilial. Even someone as smart as Hero Feng had such a son.
"Hehe, I haven't asked for your name yet!" Feng Wen ignored the two young men. He stared at Chen Ying and smiled. "I am Feng Wen."
"Mr. Feng, please order." Chen Ying smiled and nodded.
She did not feel anything about Feng Wen's perverted face. Men were all like this. When they saw a beautiful woman, they would not be able to move. Some would hide it, some would show it directly. There was no difference.
"Okay, give me your best dishes!" Feng Wen smiled and waved his hand. "Miss, your name is …?"
"My name is Chen Ying."
"Good, good. You are beautiful and your name is beautiful too. You two complement each other!" Feng Wen clapped his hands and praised.
Chen Ying secretly shook her head. Another person who pretended to be cultured!
"Here, this is a gift from my master!" The servant saw Feng Wen's look and took out a banknote from his pocket and handed it to Chen Ying. "Quickly thank my master."
Chen Ying waved her hand and did not take the banknote. "Thank you, Mr. Feng. But we have a rule here. We don't accept gifts."
"What a strange rule!" Feng Wen laughed. "You don't accept money. This is the first time. Okay, I like it!"
Chen Ying smiled apologetically. She bowed and turned to leave.
"Wait, wait," Feng Wen hurriedly said. "I would like to ask Miss Chen, how much is your annual salary working here?"
"Why is Mr. Feng asking this?" Chen Ying smiled.
Feng Wen smiled and waved his fan. "My family also has a restaurant. I would like to invite Miss Chen over to help. No matter what, I will pay you three times the salary!"
As he spoke, he raised three thick and short fingers.
"I like this place very much. I don't want to go anywhere else. Thank you for your kindness." Chen Ying smiled and shook her head. She turned and left.
Feng Wen opened his mouth but Chen Ying had already walked far away.
The servant whispered, "Master, should I go and ask?"
"There's no need!" Feng Wen waved his hand. He stared at Chen Ying's beautiful back and smiled coldly.
He hated rejection from women the most. His ugly face made him nauseous, but he would not allow other women to be nauseous. If they rejected him, they would have to bear his wrath!
For the next two days, Feng Wen came every day. After sitting down, he would drink and eat while staring at Chen Ying. It was obvious that he was infatuated with Chen Ying.

On a sunny morning, Chu Li finished his work in the East Garden. After his illness was healed, he went to the lake and rested under the willow tree. He looked at the clear and bright lake.
Zhao Ying was dressed in a lake green gown. She sailed a small boat and floated over.
Chu Li smiled and waved from afar.
Zhao Ying leaped onto the shore and came closer to him. She brought a delicate fragrance with her. She squinted her eyes and scoffed. "Brother, it's very enjoyable to have beautiful maids following you around!"
Chu Li smiled and waved his hand. "Is the pub okay?"
Zhao Ying stopped smiling and frowned. "It's nothing serious. There are some infatuated people who have fallen in love with Miss Chen and the others."
"Hmm — —?" Chu Li looked at her.
"Sister Chen and the others are very beautiful. There must be men who like them. It's not surprising, right?"
Chu Li frowned and asked, "How many of them are there?"
"Four or five." Zhao Ying saw that his expression was not right. She softened her voice. "They come every day. They are infatuated!"
