Chu Li vaguely felt that when he cultivated the Nature Restoration Manifestation to its peak, he could foresee.
The existence of the Omniscient Mirror made it easy for him to cultivate the Nature Restoration Manifestation. The first step of observation was the most difficult to cultivate. An ordinary person's eyes and spirit were limited, so it was impossible for them to see the other party's every move. The less they could see, the more inaccurate their deduction would be.
The Omniscient Mirror reflected everything in front of him, clear and flawless. This way, the deduction would be more accurate.
He gradually entered a good state and ignored the mundane matters, completely immersing himself in his own cultivation. However, his cultivation was interrupted by an invitation. It was an invitation from the Verdant Cloud Brothel, but it was not from Mo Qingyu. It was from Miss Ji Xue Qing.
He sat in the living room and looked at the invitation, thinking about Yang Zongwen who came to report about Miss Yu Qing yesterday.
After the investigation by the Secret Guardians Hall, they did not find anything strange about Miss Yu Qing. One of the top courtesans of the Verdant Cloud Brothel, she did not know martial arts, was pure and arrogant, and refused to meet vulgar people. She only met some regular customers, and it was almost impossible for strangers to meet her.
Through investigation, the Secret Guardians Hall found all of Miss Yu Qing's customers, and his name was on the list.
Chu Li looked at the list and found that Mo Qingyu had done it flawlessly without any flaws.
It seemed that Senior Sister Mo could not be underestimated. She was shrewd and powerful, and it was not easy to hide from the Secret Guardians Hall. The reputation of the Amethyst Mountain was not just for show.
Her Ethereal Heavenly Heart Technique might be a technique to stabilize one's state of mind. She could always maintain a state of mind and not be disturbed by emotions, so she could always remain calm and intelligent. She would not make mistakes, and when she fought, her emotions would not be affected, and her judgment would not be affected.
He had never seen Miss Ji Xue Qing before, so how could she give him an invitation?
It was a great honor for a lady from the Verdant Cloud Brothel to send an invitation. There was almost no one who did not go, or else he would not be able to maintain his elegant demeanor.
No man would let go of such an opportunity. Chu Li shook his head and laughed, but he did not plan to attend the banquet.
Chief Zhu's voice came from outside. "Head Chief, there's another invitation."
Chu Li said, "Send it in."
Chief Zhu opened the door and closed fist saluted at Leng Qiu and Leng Qing, who were practicing swordsmanship.
Chu Li glanced at it and nodded thoughtfully. That was right.
Chief Zhu said, "It's best not to reject Crown Prince Shi's invitation. If we want to redeem Miss Yu Qing, we can't offend Crown Prince Shi. Crown Prince Shi has deep connections in Luoyang, we can't afford to be careless."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Chief Zhu said, "Head Chief, think about it. There are so many high ranking officials and nobles who want to spend their time at Verdant Cloud Brothel, but there are only so many ladies at Verdant Cloud Brothel. It's not enough at all. It depends on each person's reputation, and Imperial Crown Prince Shi's accommodation is a favor."
Chu Li nodded and smiled. "Old? You've improved a lot! "
Chief Zhu smiled embarrassedly and said, "I was just thinking blindly. I know you can think of this."
"That's not necessarily true. Even a wise man would make a mistake sometimes. Moreover, I'm not a wise man. You're right. I really have to attend the banquet tonight," Chu Li said.
Chief Zhu hurriedly said, "Then should we prepare guards and attire?"
"There's no need for that. I'll go by myself." Chu Li shook his head.
"Yes." Chief Zhu agreed and tactfully excused himself.
Chu Li held the two invitations and chuckled. Imperial Crown Prince Shi was also a powerful person.
He wanted to open the New Moon Brothel in the Fairy's Capital because of this. There were many smart people in the world, and Imperial Crown Prince Shi was one of them. Verdant Cloud Brothel was owned by Prince Bao in name, but Imperial Crown Prince Shi was probably the real owner behind the scenes.
— —
Chu Li handed over the invitations. Before the Protector could go in to report, Leng Shoushi and Leng Shoushan came out of the main door and greeted him with a closed fist salute.
Chu Li was surprised. He returned the greeting with a closed fist salute.
"Head Chief Chu, let's talk in the courtyard. Please — —!" Leng Shoushi spoke calmly and coldly. Even when he was being polite, he gave off a sense of arrogance.
Chu Li smiled and nodded. He entered Ji Xue Courtyard with the two of them.
Miss Ji Xue Courtyard was a pure and bright beauty. She was only slightly inferior to Xiao Shi, but she was already a rare beauty in the world.
Mo Qingyu was pure and beautiful. She had a gentle temperament and a mysterious aura around her. Ji Xue Courtyard was even brighter, making people feel closer to her.
The four of them were sitting at a square table. Ji Xue Su held a pot in her hand and filled the white jade cups for the three of them. She also filled a cup for herself.
Leng Shoushan laughed. "Come, Head Chief Chu. I've heard so much about you. I'll drink first to show my respect."
He drained his cup in one gulp.
Chu Li smiled and drained his cup as well.
He did not need to look into Leng Shoushan's mind to know what was going on. It was none other than Leng Shoujiang's death.
Yang Zongwen had reported to him. As expected, the magistrate could not solve the case and could only hand it over to the Secret Guardians Hall.
"Head Chief Chu likes Miss Xue Qing?" Leng Shoushan smiled.
Chu Li shook his head. "I'm just trying to relieve my boredom. I don't have any other intentions."
"You don't want to redeem Miss Xue Qing? Leng Shoushan chuckled. "From what I know, Head Chief Chu has already redeemed the two ladies for someone else. Ninth Brother's heart is aching for them!"
He looked at Leng Shoushi as he spoke.
Leng Shoushi said, "Every single one of the girls was carefully selected and trained. We spent a lot of effort to ensure that their temperament and nature would not be tainted by the world, so that they would remain pure and kind. I feel reluctant to let go of every single one of them."
"Ninth Brother protected these ladies very well. He took great care of them. He was worried that they would marry the wrong people." Leng Shoushan shook his head.
"These ladies have good eyes. They can pick good men." Chu Li smiled. "Those two friends of mine are worthy of being entrusted with their lives."
"Zhu Tianhua is fine. As for Han Fei …" Leng Shoushi shook his head.
Chu Li smiled. "Han Fei is passionate, but he won't abandon you. Don't worry, Imperial Crown Prince Shi."
"I hope so." Leng Shoushi nodded.
"Sigh …" Leng Shoushan suddenly sighed and put down his white jade cup.
Chu Li said to himself, "Here it comes." He smiled at him.
Leng Shoushan shook his head. "These days, my father doesn't smile anymore. The atmosphere in the house is very depressing. I don't even want to go back."
"How can I not be sad when I have to send off my son?" Chu Li said. "My condolences, Your Royal Highness. I'll visit again another day."
"My father only has one thought in his mind now, and that is to avenge my fifth brother!" Leng Shoushan sighed. "Knowing that the Secret Guardians Hall has accepted the case, Father sighed in relief. That's because Father has always admired you, Head Chief Chu. He said that you are extremely intelligent, and with your help, you will definitely find the murderer for Fifth Brother!"
Chu Li said, "Prince Bao, you flatter me. I'm really ashamed. The case was accepted by the Secret Guardians Hall, but it wasn't handed over to me."
"My father doesn't trust anyone else." Leng Shoushan sighed.
