Chapter 41 (1/2)
As Chu Li turned his body, he simply waved his hand
”Pak!”
A sound of a slap could be clearly heard Zhou Yuting held onto his face and angrily looked at him
Chu Li smiled as he said
”Look at !”
He left right after and did not leave an opportunity for Zhou Yuting to speak He turned and left the Floral House
Outside the Floral House, the bluestone street was really quiet Strings of lanternsaround leisurely
Chu Li held the branch and stepped out of the Floral House, s
He looked at a sulking Zhao Ying, and he giggled
”Sister, don't bother with the garbage Zhou Yuting spewed”
”Hmm”
Zhao Ying was feeling really down
”Everything he said was unpleasant to the ears! Don't mind it! There's no need to care about it!”
Zhao Ying did not say a word
”Zhou Yuting said those things to get at ed you down!”
Zhao Ying stayed silent
”He won't dare to say a thing from now on! I promise every time we meet from now, he'll be nice!”
”Don't be angry, we've already gotten them back! We cheated them of their money!”
Zhao Ying rolled her eyes
”Brother you also got cheated didn't you? It was five hundred taels!”
”Hehethese five hundred taels were so worth it!”
Chu Li touched the branch that looked like metal He praised it
”This is a priceless treasure!”
”Really? What is this?”
”Have you heard about the treeGlory's Will?”
”Glory's Will…?”
Zhao Ying furrowed her brows and thought for a bit She slowly shook her head
Chu Li smiled
”You shall go back and learn about it then”
Glory's Will released a kind of spiritual energy that accelerated the growth of plants It was called a priceless treasure in its legend He never thought that he would meet one here
The older the tree was, the faster it could boost the plants Ti luxury herbs, and to this, the value of Glory's Will was unrivaled
”Gu Litong didn't realize it?”
Zhao Ying said in displeasure Her i had fallen He was the sa!
Chu Li touched the branch and smiled
”Heheif he can recognize it, he would not even let it go Not even with a hundred thousand Taels”
Zhao Ying looked at Chu Li and had a sudden realization Ever since he stepped into the Floral House, Chu Li had already planned on cheating Gu Litong! He purposely used the two branches and acted as if he had a grudge, but it was all just to deceive Gu Litong
Gu Litong fell into his trap unconsciously and gave away the treasure
”Brother, you are so cunning!”
Chu Li smiled and did not say a word
”I saw Zhou Yuting being scared to death, he is not that much coward, is he?”
”That's because you don't know about Mr Zhou”
Chu Li shook his head
”He strictly prohibited Zhou Yuting fro close to women”
”Why?”
”He was training the Hand of Might at the time, but he could not hold his lust in, and lost all his power If he knew about Zhou Yuting's little story about wos”
”Was there even such a thing?”
”He's all arrogant and brash outside, but he's like a little mouse to a cat when he's in front of his father”
Zhao Ying i would look, and she broke into laughter
Chu Li smiled
”Sister, if you aren't satisfied, how about we punish him for a bit?”
Zhao Ying quickly waved off her hand
”There are rules in the Public House! Brother, don't do anything stupid!”
Against those who belittle you, you , but if she had made a move, it would have been a completely different case If Chu Li took action, even Lady Siao who had a liking to him would not have batted an eye, nor help him
Her bright eyes widened, looking at Chu Li
”Okay okay, I won't punish him!”
Chu Li smiled
Chu Li went to another two shops that sold plants, but there was nothing but disappointment
Glory's Will was a rare treasure, but it was very hard to grow the help from others The Black Eye Tree, The Crimson Sunset, and the Thorned Beauty
”It's not early anyo home”
Zhao Ying looked at the bright moon
Chu Li shook his head, looking at the branch
”I will send you back to the residence”
”I want to return to the Public House”
Zhao Ying lowered her voice
Chu Li looked at her expression She turned away, trying to avoid him
There was no need to use the O saidsuspicion
Even though he was a genius with relationshi+ps, he knew that he should not be too hasty He needed to take it slow
”Right on tiether”
”I planned to isolate myself and cultivate I can't take care of the residence”
”It's fine, Lee Yue will help”
”Hmm”
Zhao Ying walked slowly, looking as if there was a lot in her thoughts
Chu Li acted as if he did not hear it He put up a sossips within the Public House Zhao Ying liked to listen to these gossips
Zhao Ying replied inattentively, and both of them returned to the Public House They walked into the Public House and parted Chu Li rowed a boat back to the East Garden
Su Ru arrived at Chu Li's courtyard She knocked on the door and Xue walked out to greet her
”Good day, Chief!”
The apricot goas especially bright under the lights Even her hair was beautiful under the light
”Has Chu Li returned from the East Garden?”
”Yes”
Xue answered
Su Ru walked into the courtyard and analyzed the black dirt She carefully walked around it and sat down in the paGoda
”How is he? Quite easy to serve, isn't it?”
”It's alright”
Xue hesitated
Su Ru turned her head and looked at her
Xue looked down
Su Ru pointed at her
”See eyes on top of your head You looked down on Chu Li, didn't you?”
”Chief…”
Xue smiled in embarrassment
”I am quite curious”
