The two of them steered the boat to a small island.
This island was twice the size of the East Garden, and it was surrounded by dense willow trees. It was lush and full of life. From afar, the greenery made people feel relaxed, and it was very similar to the East Garden.
Chu Li nodded to himself. This Gu Litong was not a good person, but he did have some skills. He was able to release the vitality of flowers and plants, which could affect a person's state of mind.
When the two arrived at the small island, there were already two people waiting on the shore. Gu Litong and Zhou Yuting stood side by side in front of the two with unfriendly expressions.
Chu Li gave a fist salute. "Brother Gu, Brother Zhou, how have you been?"
Zhou Yuting glared at him coldly and ignored him. He cupped his fists and greeted Suru.
Gu Litong returned the gesture with a smile. "Brother Chu, you're even more elegant than before. I'm really envious of you!"
Chu Li smiled. "Brother Gu, you flatter me. Is the Moonlight Orchid dead?"
"With Brother Gu's help, it won't be that easy to die!" Zhou Yuting scoffed, "If it were you, you would have died long ago!"
Chu Li smiled. "Brother Zhou, do you know anything about the Moonlight Orchid?"
"Of course!" Zhou Yuting patted his chest. "While Brother Gu is researching the Moonlight Orchid, I've been following him!"
Chu Li said, "You're just an idiot. It's useless no matter how much you watch. Just shut up!"
"You …" Zhou Yuting's eyes widened.
Suru smiled and waved her hand. "Alright, stop bickering. Hurry up and look at the flowers!"
"Chief Su, please follow me." Gu Litong patted Zhou Yuting's shoulder and smiled at Su Ru.
The four of them walked through the flowerbeds. The structure here was completely different from the East Garden. All the flowers were mixed together, giving off a dazzling feeling. It was not as refreshing as the East Garden, but it was more colorful.
The East Garden was built according to Xiao Qi's character. She was a neat freak, always neat and orderly, calm and rational when faced with problems. The West Garden was like this, reflecting Master Xiao Tieying's character. He was more emotional than rational, so he must have been more emotional than rational. Chu Li secretly analyzed.
The four of them saw the Moonlight Orchid not far from a small pavilion.
Its leaves were drooping, and it was on the verge of death. The originally snow-like leaves had already withered and turned yellow.
Suru frowned. Seeing such a beautiful Moonlight Orchid become like this, she really couldn't bear it.
From a hundred meters away, Chu Li had already connected his senses with the Moonlight Orchid. Their breaths were connected. The Moonlight Orchid was him, and he was the Moonlight Orchid. He was experiencing the feeling of the Moonlight Orchid.
Suru saw him staring blankly at the Moonlight Orchid, and quickly said, "Chu Li?"
Chu Li turned to look at Gu Litong and Zhou Yuting.
The two of them stared at him coldly.
Chu Li sighed. "You are not fit to control the West Garden!"
"What do you mean, surnamed Chu, what do you mean by that?!" Zhou Yuting shouted.
Chu Li said, "The Moonlight Orchid was destroyed by someone!"
"Nonsense, no one from our West Garden came here!" Zhou Yuting shouted as he sneered, "You're too much of a liar, aren't you? How can you tell that it was sabotaged at a glance?"
Chu Li said, "If I don't have such abilities, why should I stay in the East Garden? Brother Gu, don't you agree? "
"Tell me, how did you destroy it?" Gu Litong asked coldly.
Chu Li said, "It's you, Brother Gu, right?"
"Ridiculous!" Gu Litong sneered. "Don't you find such childish slander ridiculous?"
"You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!" Chu Li sighed. "Bring me a shovel!"
Zhou Yuting scoffed. "What do you want?"
"We'll know once we dig it!" Chu Li said impatiently. "Do you think it's flawless?"
Zhou Yuting looked at Gu Litong.
Su Ru was already angry. She said coldly, "Zhou Yuting, what are you waiting for?!"
Zhou Yuting helplessly replied, "Yes," and brought over a small and exquisite shovel.
Chu Li took the shovel and shoveled it a few times. He then slowly dug up a few pieces of black soil and passed it to Su Ru. "Chief, this is it!"
"Isn't this silt?" Su Ru said.
She knew that Chu Li used the cultivation method of digging up silt from the bottom of the lake and mixing it with the rotten soil to become the soil for the Moonlight Orchid. The black soil looked like silt.
Chu Li shook his head. "This isn't just any silt. It's been added with something."
"What is it?"
"Horse piss!" Chu Li scoffed. "The Moonlight Orchid is most afraid of horse piss. The person who buried this should know the Moonlight Orchid's habits very well. Don't you think so, Brother Gu?"
Gu Litong scoffed and did not say a word.
Chu Li said, "You buried it, right?"
Gu Litong shook his head. "It wasn't me."
"Then could it be Brother Zhou?" Chu Li laughed. "Brother Zhou is not that smart!"
Zhou Yuting said impatiently, "What nonsense are you talking about? I said it was you who buried it! Besides, if you say it's horse piss, then it's horse piss. Why? "
Chu Li smiled. "It's not difficult. We'll find the High Officials of the Herb Garden!"
"Alright, let's find the High Officials!" Zhou Yuting said loudly.
Gu Litong scoffed. "There's no need!"
"Brother Gu?" Zhou Yuting quickly said, "We can't listen to his nonsense!"
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. He glanced at Gu Litong.
Gu Litong said, "I buried it!"
"Ah — —?" Zhou Yuting widened his eyes in disbelief.
Chu Li sighed. "Why did you do that?"
"Killing a Moonlight Orchid to see what you're capable of. It's worth it." Gu Litong scoffed.
Su Ru said coldly, "Gu Litong, how dare you!"
Gu Litong smiled. "Chief Su, I only killed a Moonlight Orchid. I'll accept the punishment of a thousand taels of silver!"
Su Ru's face was cold as she stared at him.
Gu Litong smiled at her. He did not mind. The West Garden could not leave him. With Master Xiao Tieying's protection, Chief Su could not do anything to him.
He was not afraid, so he admitted it.
Chu Li said, "Brother Gu, you're too despicable!"
"Same here!" Gu Litong scoffed and smiled proudly.
Chu Li sighed and looked around. "I wonder if you were the one who caused the plants in the West Garden to get sick and then cured them. Others were helpless, but you had a way to cure them. That's why you're known as a genius!" Chu Li sighed.
"You — —!" Gu Litong's expression changed.
Chu Li sighed. "What a shame! What a shame!"
He turned to Su Ru and said, "Chief, let's go. The Moonlight Orchid is fine!"
"Let's go!" Su Ru glared at Gu Litong and Zhou Yuting and turned to leave.
Zhou Yuting shrunk his neck. Gu Litong's expression was ugly, but he did not look away. He was unyielding and fearless.
Zhou Yuting watched as the two left. He whispered, "Brother Gu, why did you do that? Offending Chief Su will not end well!"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Gu Litong scoffed. "We have Master Xiao Tieying. She can't do anything!"
"Chief Su has a high reputation in the guards." Zhou Yuting shook his head. "If she says anything, we'll be in trouble!"
"Let's stay in the West Garden. Who would dare to come here?" Gu Litong pouted. "Moreover, we have to give face to Master Xiao Tieying. They won't dare to do anything. Don't worry!"
"Sigh …" Zhou Yuting's face was bitter. He had a bad feeling.
— —
After boarding the small boat, Chu Li activated his inner energy and the boat shot out like an arrow. The West Garden quickly disappeared from their sight.
Su Ru's face darkened. She stomped her feet. "Gu! Li! Tong!"
Chu Li's green robe fluttered in the wind. He looked calm. "Chief, don't bother with him. He's a despicable person. He's not worth it!"
"If I don't teach him a lesson, my life will be in vain!" Su Ru scoffed.
Chu Li said, "It's beneath your dignity to bother with him. Let me do it!"
"You …?" Su Ru turned to look at him.
Chu Li said, "It's not difficult to deal with him. I just didn't kill him because of Master Xiao Tieying. This time, he was so rude to you. I can't tolerate it anymore!"
"What are you going to do?" Su Ru frowned. "The guards are not allowed to kill each other. If you break the rules, I can't help you!"
Chu Li smiled. "I'm not that stupid!"
"What can you do to him?" Su Ru was annoyed.
She had thought of many ways, but none of them worked.
If she complained to Master Xiao Tieying, Master Xiao Tieying would definitely side with Gu Litong. Master Xiao Tieying would be vigilant and think that she was going to pull out the nail in the West Garden. He would not believe her.
If she asked others to trouble Gu Litong, he would stay in the West Garden. Besides, with Master Xiao Tieying's support, the other guards would be restrained!
No matter how she thought about it, there was no good way. Just thinking about it made her feel wronged!
Chu Li smiled. "Leave it to me. I'll let the Chief see it in a few days!"
"Don't mess around!" Su Ru warned. "Don't break the rules!"
"Of course!" Chu Li smiled and nodded.

A bright moon hung in the sky. The world was clear and quiet.
Zhou Yuting and Gu Litong lazily went to the New Moon Brothel.
They stood below the New Moon Brothel and looked up. The New Moon Brothel pierced through the clouds. Music and laughter could be heard. It was like a heavenly palace. Being here, one could forget about the troubles of the secular world.
Zhou Yuting and Gu Litong would come here every few days. They were infatuated with the beauties here.
Some of them were dignified, some were enchanting, some were pure, and some were charming. They had different temperaments, but all of them were beautiful. They were beauties gifted to men by God.
Although they had to spend a lot of money each time, they never got tired of it. They had not been here for five to six days. Their bodies were itchy, empty, and bored. They could not move their bodies, but their feet had automatically brought them here.
Both of them had their own girlfriends. Gu Litong and Zhou Yuting went their separate ways once they entered the New Moon Brothel.
Zhou Yuting swaggered up to the third floor. He waved his hand to dismiss the girl who was leading the way. He came to a house and knocked on the door. There was no response. It was dark inside and there was no light.
Zhou Yuting's heart sank. Did Yu Jiao sleep with someone else?
He had booked her and would not accept other guests!
"Someone! Someone! "He stood at the door and shouted.
A pretty girl fluttered over. "Master Zhou!"
"What's going on?" Zhou Yuting pointed at the room. "Where's Yu Jiao?"
"Sister Yu Jiao is married!" The pretty girl was surprised. "Master Zhou, you don't know?"
"Married?" Zhou Yuting's expression changed. "When did she get married?"
Getting married meant that she had been redeemed and left the New Moon Brothel.
He had been saving money to redeem Yu Jiao, but the price was too high. It required a hundred thousand taels. It was a number that made him desperate. Even if he and Gu Litong combined their money, it was still far from enough.
