Yu Qing's beautiful brows furrowed as she stared at him unhappily. She said sternly, "Young Master Xiao, this is the Verdant Cloud Brothel. Your father is the Privy Emissary. Young Master Xiao, you can't just do whatever you want, lest you bring trouble to your father!"
Xiao Heng's mind cleared and his expression became more restrained. He continued to stare at Chu Li and said, "Alright, I appreciate Miss Yu Qing's kindness. Before I leave, I just want to know who this person is!"
Chu Li said, "I'm Chu Li."
Xiao Heng frowned as he thought about it. He stared at Chu Li's face before his gaze finally landed on his white robe.
He felt that the name was familiar but he did not know where he had heard it before. It must be his first time meeting this person but why did it sound so familiar? He was definitely someone important.
He was confident in his family background. As long as he was not from the royal family, he did not care if he provoked him. Even if he was from the royal family, as long as he was not someone like King Jing who had the potential to unify the country, or Prince Bao or Prince Kang, there was nothing to worry about.
Since his surname was Chu, there was nothing to worry about.
He scoffed. "Chu Li, looks like he's not a nobody. Miss Yu Qing, what does he have that makes you look at him so highly?"
Yu Qing shook her head. "Young Master Xiao, you've misunderstood. Head Chief Chu and I are not selfless. We're just good friends."
"Chief Steward Xiao!" Xiao Heng suddenly remembered.
Head Chief Chu Li of the Imperial Residence of King An, Centurion of the Secret Guardians Hall. When he thought of this identity, his aura weakened.
If he could provoke the Imperial Residence of King An, his father would not say anything. However, the Secret Guardians Hall could not be provoked. They were the sharpest knife in the Emperor's hand. These people were the most sinister and pervasive. It would not end well to be targeted by them. His father did not want to provoke them either.
"What's going on?" A cold voice came from outside.
The maid quickly said, "Imperial Prince Shi, Imperial Prince Shan, Young Master Xiao is here!"
Footsteps could be heard. Leng Shoushi and Leng Shoushan walked over slowly. They saw Xiao Heng and smiled. "Xiao Heng, you're here to see Yu Qing again? You're quite diligent! "
"Haha …" Xiao Heng smiled stiffly. "Prince Shi, Prince Shan."
"Why are you standing at the door? Aren't you going in to sit? Did you get chased out by Miss Yu Qing?"
Yu Qing came to the door and curtsied. "Crown Prince, Crown Prince Shan."
Leng Shoushi waved his hand and looked at Chu Li. "Oh, there's a guest. Xiao Heng, are you here to cause trouble?"
He saw through the situation at a glance. It was not the first time Xiao Heng had done something like this.
Xiao Heng scoffed, "I had an appointment with Yu Qing tonight, but Yu Qing suddenly said that she wasn't feeling well. In the end, she came to see this Head Steward Xiao. I was so angry that I came to take a look."
"Head Chief Xiao?" Leng Shoushi and Leng Shoushan looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li stood up and closed fist saluted. "Chu Li greets the two Imperial Princes."
Leng Shoushi and Leng Shoushan looked at him curiously.
Chu Li's reputation in the Fairy's Capital was shocking.
The first reason was that he was a first-grade martial artist despite being a chief steward. Moreover, he was so young, which was truly astonishing. The second reason was that he showed no mercy to the imperial family's disciples. He did not fear them at all. He beat and scolded them when he needed to, without any misgivings. This also won everyone's admiration.
Everyone felt that Chu Li had helped them vent their frustrations. Most of them were envious and jealous of the imperial family's disciples.
The most important reason was that his martial arts was top-notch. He was faintly the number one among the younger generation. He was even more famous than Fa Yuan from the Tempest Temple. Even those who had never seen him before would have heard of his name.
Chu Li looked at the two of them calmly.
"I've heard of your name for a long time. I finally get to meet you today. Miss Yu Qing, are we disturbing you?" Leng Shoushan laughed.
"It is my honor to have Imperial Prince Shan here." Xue Qing pursed her lips and smiled. She took a step back. "The two Imperial Princes, please sit. Young Master Xiao, you too."
Xiao Heng shook his head awkwardly. He felt uneasy.
"There's no need to sit. We won't disturb you," Leng Shoushan smiled. "Chu Li, although we are also imperial family's disciples, we are not satisfied with Leng Tao and the other juniors. These people should be taught a lesson. Don't worry, we mean no harm."
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "I'm impulsive. When I'm angry, I don't care about anything else. I've caused a lot of trouble. Everyone thinks that I'm brave, but it's actually because of my temper. It has nothing to do with courage. I was afraid after the incident."
"Haha …" Leng Shoushan laughed. "You're still afraid? Haha! "
What Chu Li did was not because he was afraid, but because he was fearless. Otherwise, he would not have done those things. The number of people in the Ji Dynasty who had the guts to do that could be counted on one hand. Chu Li liked Chu Li's courage and heroism.
Chu Li smiled in response.
"Chu Li, did you really become a Grandmaster without learning any martial arts in two years?" Leng Shoushan asked curiously. "Did you really get the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual?"
Chu Li shook his head. "I don't have that luck. Maybe I'm more suited for martial arts. As for the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual, the disciples from the four major sects have seen it. They know that I didn't get it."
"That's true. Based on the four major sects' behavior, once they know you have the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual, they will definitely fight for it." Leng Shoushan nodded. "But you're really good. Two years, I was still struggling in acquired mastery!"
Leng Shoushi said, "Let's talk another day. It's time to go."
"Yes, yes, let's drink and chat another day. We'll talk about how to deal with Leng Tao." Leng Shoushan smiled.
The two closed fist saluted and left the house.
Xiao Heng did not know whether to leave or stay. In the end, he scoffed and glared at Chu Li before turning around and leaving.
The door closed, and the house became quiet again.
Yu Qing sat in front of a low table. Chu Li sat in front of a low table as well. The two of them sat across from each other. The faint fragrance in the house calmed them down.
Yu Qing stared at Chu Li. "Head Chief, did you say that you want to cultivate the Nature Restoration Manifestation?"
Chu Li nodded. "Yes, I wonder if I can get it?"
"Of course. Our sect is different from the other three sects. A disciple does not have to learn martial arts to enter the sect. As long as their potential and character are suitable, they can be accepted as a disciple. "
"I have to enter the Amethyst Mountain?" Chu Li frowned.
Yu Qing nodded lightly. "The Nature Restoration Manifestation is the heart technique of the Nature Restoration Manifestation. Head Chief, do you think it can be taught to outsiders?"
"I can enter the Amethyst Mountain?" Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "I'm old, and with my current identity, can the Amethyst Mountain rest assured?"
Yu Qing said, "Our sect's motto is to accept all rivers into the sea, so there are twelve peaks. As long as your potential and character are good enough, you can be accepted as a disciple. There are not too many concerns. Head Chief, if your potential and character pass, you can become a disciple of the Amethyst Mountain."
Chu Li was silent for a while. "If I'm not a disciple of the Amethyst Mountain, is there a way to cultivate the Nature Restoration Manifestation?"
"Impossible." Yu Qing shook her head. "The Nature Restoration Manifestation will never be taught to outsiders. This is the only way."
Her eyes were clear as water. "Head Chief, you don't want to become a disciple of our sect? The disciples of the Amethyst Mountain help each other. If anything happens, the sect will protect and support us. Many people want to enter but can't! "
Chu Li sighed and shook his head.
He was alone. It was not impossible for him to enter the Amethyst Mountain. Back then, Xiao Qi wanted to send him into the Amethyst Mountain.
