Chapter 14 (1/2)
After quite soain But just as he was about to make his first move, he was already countered with Chu Li's sword His faceexpression
The sword has pierced the flesh on his shoulder and did not react
He gritted his teeth and braced himself for what conored everyone including Su Ru and Zhao Ying on his way out as he held onto his injured shoulder Zhuo Feiyang walked aith shame
Just as Zhao Ying was about to ascend onto the boat, she gave Chu Li a death stare She did not know that her senior, Chu Li would be so cunning to the extent that even she was fooled All her prior worries for hi
Chu Li sy embedded on his face
As he watched the boat disappear froht, he turned around and saw Su Ru's beautiful eyes
Su Ru s, don't you?”
Chu Li responded with a faint smile
Su Ru giggled, ”I can see that Zhuo Feiyang likes her too If I compared the both of you now, he looks to have the upper hand in this matter”
Chu Li fell silent
Su Ru s seems to be very popular”
”She is pretty, courteous and kind-hearted What h He was nervous for a second, as he realized that Zhao Ying indeed has not fallen for him
”Do you think you have a chance?”
”Of course!”
”I'll say forget it!” Su Ru couldn't contain her giggles and responded, ”You think you can beat Zhuo Feiyang?”
”…” Chu Li creased his eyebrows
Zhuo Feiyang was not only extremely talented but was very handsome as well The ladies are always very fond of him Chu Li did not want to lie to hia;but average
Fortunately, Zhao Ying isn't like those typical girls She is kind-hearted and sympathizes towards the weak
Since Zhuo Feiyang is now labeled as weak, will she turn her sympathy towards him? That is the question
”Feeling hopeless?” Su Ru s him intently
Chu Li shook his head, ”I will not give up!”
”Now that's the spirit!” Su Ru s up doesn't sound like you at all! Do you need my help then?”
This made Chu Li raise an eyebrow
Su Ru laughed, ”You don't believe I can help you?”
”I do, thank you Chief!” Chu Li gave his respects and bowed, ”Please, do help me Chief!”
Being unhesitant to ask for help and the willingness to let go of one's ego is the key to win back a girl!
Su Ru giggled and then laughed She gently shook her head and said, ”You boys are so typical…”
Chu Li was ehed too He then replied, ”I can't stand by losing the girl that I like to soood person I can't watch Junior Zhao Ying to descend into a hellhole!”
”Do you actually think I would not knohat's on your ave a look and added, ”You men always think that you're the only one in this world who deserves that one pretty girl and that any other guys don't deserve to be with her!”
Chu Li's lips felt dry
Su Ru i to joke around with you anymore I stopped by to discuss a serious matter”
”Yes!” Chu Li facial expressions instantly became serious
Su Ru looked around to make sure Lee Yue wasn't there There were only the two of theentle breeze and the waters were calm The atmosphere was peaceful
”Can you culture the God's Mane in mass production?”
”If you do not fear in destroying lands, then it won't be a problem”
”Then good, this tireat supply of God's Mane and you have to hurry up and produce them!”
”How much?”
”At least twenty acres!”
”Twenty acres!?” Chu Li frowned and looked back at her, ”These twenty acres of land will be rendered useless It will be at least fifty years before they can be recovered!”
”Yeah”
”It's best we cultivate them outside the federal Public House The richer the soils, the better”
”Just as I thought!” Su Ru nodded, and said with a low voice, ”You must keep this a secret!”
Chu Li slowly nodded in agreement
By the look on her face, he could already tell that this is a secret that must not be revealed
”Near the Millennial Mountains, there is a valley It is extremely secluded and you may head over to start cultivation of the plant The soil there is rich as well”
”Yes” Su Ru nodded without hesitation
”It must be kept a secret, don't draw any unnecessary attention” Su Ru shook her head, ”But there is no roorant you the company of a Protector”
”Another person involved would mean additional risks” Chu Li exclaimed, ”So let me do it alone!”
”What if a probleave him look and said, ”Do you really think you can handle it?”
Chu Li raised an eyebrow, smiled He turned his eyes towards the direction where the boat had disappeared from afar
Su Ru gru be your company!”
”Thank you, Chief!” Chu Li was on cloud nine He held his fists together and paid her a grateful sign of respect
”Huot what you wanted But if this business is wrecked, I will de will be demoted to the lowest!”
”Yes!”
”When you encounter any trouble, you would knohat to do Correct?”
”Don't worry, Chief, I will never expose our identities!”
”Good!” Su Ru nodded in satisfaction For Su Ru, giving this task to Chu Li could be considered as a test for him, to see if he was as useful as he precedes to be
Dawn approached the south gate of the Federal Public House

Zhao Ying herself was merely a Rank nine Protector This was her first experience in e on a secret mission such as this She felt thrilled and her eyes bea time for their arrival but that did not diminish her patience
