PS: I couldn't finish six chapters yesterday and was upset the whole night. I've decided to add more chapters today. I'm going all out. Everyone, please cheer me on, I'm grateful!
Chu Li held the invitation and raised his eyebrows.
Chief Zhu said, "This invitation was sent here two hours ago. Half an hour ago, the lady who sent the invitation came again and asked you to head over earlier … Hehe, it seems like Miss Yu Qing is very fond of you and can't wait to meet you. One day apart feels like three years!"
He smiled as if he was the one who was invited.
Chu Li glared at him.
Chief Zhu quickly shut his mouth but could not help but smile.
"Alright, look for me immediately when the Verdant Cloud Brothel sends an invitation next time." Chu Li scoffed.
Chief Zhu quickly nodded. "Yes, yes, a date with a beauty can't be delayed. Head Chief, should we send someone to follow her?"
Chu Li waved his hand. "Don't worry about it, get lost!"
Chief Zhu laughed. "Yes, yes, I'll get lost. But Head Chief, you should head over as soon as possible. It's a sin to keep the beauty waiting."
"Get lost!" Chu Li kicked him.
Chief Zhu beamed with joy as he left.
Chu Li shook his head. This Elder Zhu was strange. The more casual he was with him, the more he felt comfortable and more loyal.
He looked at the invitation thoughtfully. Since Senior Sister Mo Qingyu invited him over, and in such a hurry, there must be something urgent.
As he was thinking, the Omniscient Mirror saw Mo Qingyu's maid, Xiao Jie, arrive at the Imperial Residence. Chief Zhu hurriedly greeted her and fist saluted. "Miss Xiao Jie, what a coincidence, the Head Chief has just entered."
"Really?" Xiao Jie's originally anxious and pretty face suddenly turned into surprise. She hurriedly said, "I want to see the chief."
Chief Zhu quickly said, "Miss Xiao Jie, please follow me!"
He brought Xiao Jie to the main hall.
Chu Li did not wait for him to speak and said, "Xiao Jie, come in. Elder Zhu, get lost!"
"Yes." Chief Zhu smiled at Xiao Jie. "The Head Chief is inside. Miss Xiao Jie, please come in."
Xiao Jie curtsied to thank him.
Chief Zhu hurriedly waved his hand.
He did not dare to be careless. Xiao Jie might follow Miss Yu Qing into the Imperial Residence in the future, and then she would become a member of the inner courtyard. If he were to say something wrong, he would suffer. It was better to curry favor with her now than to suffer in the future.
He believed in sowing good karma and doing good to others.
Xiao Jie entered the hall and curtsied. "Head Chief."
Chu Li asked, "Miss Yu Qing, what's the matter?"
Xiao Jie looked around and said in a low voice, "Head Chief, you should go quickly. Miss is in a hurry."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and saw Mo Qingyu's actions in her mind. He nodded and said, "You can go back by yourself. I'll make a move first."
"Yes," Xiao Jie hurriedly replied.
Chu Li glided out of the main hall and suddenly disappeared. He reappeared in an alley beside the Verdant Cloud Brothel and walked towards the Verdant Cloud Brothel.
The two guards cupped their fists and said, "Head Chief, please come in. Are you going to the Yuqing Courtyard?"
Chu Li nodded.
"I will lead the way for the Head Chief," a young guard said with a smile.
Chu Li smiled. "Thank you."
The two soon arrived at the Yuqing Courtyard.
Chu Li cupped his fists and bowed to the young guard. The young guard returned a fist salute and quietly left.
Chu Li pushed open the door of the courtyard. Mo Qingyu was standing in the middle of the courtyard and pacing back and forth. She was wearing a lotus colored pleated skirt and a green blouse. She looked fresh and pleasant. Her steps were light and elegant, pleasing to the eye.
Her pure and gentle face was full of anxiety. When she heard the door open, she hurriedly asked, "Did you see him?"
Chu Li shook his head and stepped into the courtyard. He closed the door. "Senior Sister, are you like ordinary people when you're hiding your power?"
Seeing that it was Chu Li, Mo Qingyu let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly pulled his arm. "Come in quickly!"
Chu Li had already seen the situation in the house. He followed her into the house and directly entered the bedroom.
In the warm and fragrant bedroom, a pale and unconscious Shen Xu was lying on the bed.
Chu Li frowned. "Have you taken the Adversity Surpassing Pill?"
"I have, but it's useless." Mo Qingyu shook her head. "Master's Junior's injury is very strange. No medicine works, so I can only ask for you, Junior Brother."
Chu Li went forward to check his pulse. His face darkened and he scoffed. "Shura Palm!"
"Shura Palm?" Mo Qingyu frowned. "Could it be Asura?"
Chu Li nodded and glanced at her.
She was indeed a disciple of a famous faction. Her knowledge was extraordinary. Ordinary people did not know about the existence of Asura.
"How did Master's Junior provoke Asura?" Mo Qingyu shook her head. "Master's Junior fainted as soon as he came in. He tried his best to hold on!"
Chu Li nodded.
Mo Qingyu hurriedly asked, "Junior Brother, is there a way to save him?"
Chu Li replied, "Yes, there's no problem."
Mo Qingyu let out a long sigh of relief and patted her chest. She put her palms together and bowed to the sky. "Thank God!"
Chu Li did not need to use the Asura Power Technique. He activated the Life and Death Scripture and turned death into life. He directly dissolved the Asura Palm energy and turned it into a rich vitality that nourished Shen Xu's broken body.
This was the horror of the Shura Palm. It was like the breath of death that devoured all vitality. Even a spirit pill like the Adversity Surpassing Pill could not withstand its corrosion and lost its effectiveness. Therefore, the Shura Palm needed a special technique to restrain it or death would be the only outcome.
Chu Li moved some spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth and circulated it in Shen Xu's body according to the Minute Pulse Cleansing Technique.
After a quarter of an hour, he retracted his palm. "He's fine now."
Mo Qingyu had already brewed some tea. She served it to him. "Thank goodness you're here, Junior Brother. Otherwise, I would really be helpless!"
Chu Li frowned and shook his head.
Why did another Asura appear? Moreover, one that could injure Master Shen Xu was definitely not an ordinary Asura. Was the Tempest Temple not suppressing it?
Mo Qingyu said, "Junior Brother, you've been in the limelight recently. You're even more famous now."
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "It's just an empty reputation."
"Everyone is talking about you killing the Minister Counsellor of the Ministry of War." Mo Qingyu frowned. "You have to be careful. The Holy Church of Light will come for revenge."
Chu Li nodded.
Shen Xu suddenly groaned and slowly opened his eyes.
Mo Qingyu hurried forward. "Master's Junior?"
A smile appeared on Shen Xu's face as he turned to look at Chu Li.
Chu Li fist saluted. "Master."
Shen Xu sighed. "I finally get to see you."
Chu Li asked, "Was it done by the Asuras?"
Shen Xu nodded.
Chu Li frowned. "The Tempest Temple is suppressing the Asuras. I didn't expect there to be fish that slipped through the net."
"These two Asuras have extremely high cultivation levels. They're one level higher than me." Shen Xu shook his head. "I was lucky to be able to escape with my life."
Chu Li nodded.
He could see that Shen Xu's cultivation level was slightly lower than his. It was indeed dangerous for him to encounter a powerful Asura.
Shen Xu struggled to take out a snow-white jade tag. It was the size of a palm and was trapezoidal in shape. Both sides of the tag were carved with a mountain peak. It was so vast that it felt like it was slowly collapsing. Shen Xu could not help but want to escape.
"This is the jade tag of an official disciple." Shen Xu passed it to Chu Li. "It's also the door to the dojo."
Chu Li was surprised. "Dojo?"
