Chapter 271: Hurt
Chu Li low
On the way back, he was studying the Seven Forms of Godly KnifeHe wanted toit into a form of swordplay
The Seven Forms of Godly Knife was extremely powerful but it was a waste that it could only be used when he was Du Feng
The swords too but none of them can surpass the Seven Forms of Godly Knife
After more than ten days of research, there were visible resultsHowever, it was too rushed, resulting in its power a notch below the Seven Forms of Godly KnifeHe would have to further refine it in the future
Upon seeing the great gates of the Public House and the bold and iuardian lions, he felt a sense of welcome familiarity as if he had finally returned home
He entered the Public House and proceeded to the Glory's Will Courtyard on a boat
The Glory Will's Courtyard was covered in the color of rosesXue Ling was cultivating, dressed in a neat white outfitShe quickly turned her head when she heard a noise and overcame with joy when she saas Chu Li”Master!”
Chu Li smiled as he briefly sized her up
She looked even more brilliant and beautifulHer cultivation skill had considerably deepened and it see
Xue Ling approached him and wrapped her hand around his armA pleasant aroma wafted to Chu Li's nose”Why did you come back so late?”
Chu Li s quickly prepared so it to Chu Li with both handsShe stared at hio, Master?”
”I simply wandered around the Green Hill Road,” Chu Li sipped his tea
”The Green Hill Road… If so, did youslance at Chu Li's white robe as she said that
”Oh--? Even you've heard about the White-robed Chief?” asked Chu Li
”I heard about it fro said, ”It was said that this White-robed Chief is really greatHe kills as if he was just lance at Chu Li
When she first heard the news, she had already felt that it was her own Master
Now that she saw Chu Li's white robe, she was even more suspicious
”Hmm, I've heard about it,” said Chu Li
”Master, it's you, isn't it?” asked Xue Ling quickly
Chu Li re raised her hand hastily and vowed, ”I will never tell anyone about it!”
”Alright, it's me,” Chu Li nodded as he placed the teacup down
”No wonder!” Xue Ling pursed her lips and s? It's said that she fell for the White-robed Chief at first sight!”
”Hmm, I met her”
”Is she really pretty?”
Chu Li smiled, ”You do not care about hoell-trained she is in martial arts but enquired about her beauty instead?”
”Everyone says that she is pretty, not inferior to Lady Siao shi+'s beauty,” said Xue Ling”But not ument over it”
”What a leisurely bunch,” said Chu Li in an unpleasant tone
”Master, you haven't told uess she is”
”In comparison to Lady Siao shi+?”
”Not too far off”
”Who looks better?”
”They both have their ownhis hands”Alright, alright, let's get into serious business”
”Serious business…” Xue Ling bit her tongue
Chu Li said in an angry tone, ”Go on!”
Xue Ling said carefully, ”Prory if I tell you, Master!”
”If that's the case, I'ry, tell hed, ”Brother Jiang Kuai is hurt”
”He definitely kno to run if he can't winDid heKuai had the Spirit Blessing Pill with hihtNow that he learned a secret skill that triggered one's potential, he could have just consu away
Chu Li was reassured because it was nearly i situation
Since Xue Ling only said that he was hurt, Chu Li wasn't too worried about it
”A new High Official arrived at the Public House when you were gone, Master”
”A Grand nodded slowly, ”His naht and friendly, everyone see?”
”I think this Jing person is a total shae audience, he said that you didn't deserve such a high position at such a young age and that is because Lady Siao Qi trusts you toowasn't happy to hear that and decided to pick a fight?” Chu Li furrowed his eyebrows and asked, ”Was it inside or outside the Public House?”
”It was in the New Moon Brothel,” said Xue Ling
Chu Li scoffed, ”That's quite interestingHe hurt Brother Jiang?”
”He gave Brother Jiang a big slap in the face and sent two of his teeth flying,” Her face held a pitied expression, ”The injury was not serious but it was vexing to be slapped in the face by so!”
Chu Li did not say a wordHe was trying to work out the entire scenario in his ured out the motive behind the actions
He had a wide reputationBut to e leaps in his position, it was indeed easy to earn the jealousy of others
Those ere poorly trained in martial art skills or with lowly positions could only keep their jealousy in check, or mutter under their breaths at mostHe would not even bother those people
It was difficult for Grandmasters not to be jealous but they had eyes to see his contributionsFurtherh Official's position is supreme from the othersThey were not involved in any beneficial trades and had no conflicts with hiht future, it would be beneficial for theh Official to voice such an opinion, heand impetuous, unconvinced of Chu Li's reputation
But none of those who became a Grandmaster was dumbHe should not be so reckless or be in a hurry to reap the glory
”How did the Public House settle this?”
”Jing Zhixue had his salary cut for a 's mouth twitched, ”It's barely even a punishment!”
”Over six thousand taels of silvers, it is not a sh Official is not desperate foris clearly being unfair!”
”Brother Jiang was coht?”
”Brother Jiang is not in need ofscoffed
”Letthen,” said Chu Li
”Are you sure you want to go?” Xue Ling was hesitant, ”The incident was quite e will feel evenbeaten up because of his lacking skill? What is there to be embarrassed about?” Chu Li stood up
He had his fair share of being beaten up and injuredHe did not thinkfeebly
At Jiang Kuai's courtyard, two people sat under the paGoda
Xue Ling served tea to the two and entered the house to chat with Su Yuting
A leisure wind blew, the bamboo in front of the paGoda whistled to the windThey were green and fresh, overfloith vigor
Chu Li placed down his teacup and sighed, ”I a Kuai's face had recovered
”It was my fault that I paled in skillI did not think that he would dare toa bitter smile, ”I failed miserably at such an easy task!”
”He's not here toKuai was startled and said hesitantly, ”Brother Chu, are you saying that he is ai for you?”
”Most likely,” Chu Li took his cup and took a sipHe s Kuai broke into a se, is there really a need for such a big reaction? What do you think Master Siao Tieying will take of this? He does not forgive easily!”
”There is no need to worry about that,” said Chu Li, ”Brother Jiang, I' to enter the Imperial Residence of Prince An with Lady Siao shi+I need someone that I can trust to helpKuai lanced into the house
Chu Li chuckled, ”Right, you should discuss this with Mrs Jiang and listen to what she has to say”
”If I' Kuai felt sorry
”If Brother Jiang co should not follow i Kuai's expression turned serious, ”Is it that dangerous?”
”It's never wrong to assuo with you,” said Jiang Kuai, ”I a will not be used to it thereIf she stays here, then there is no trouble”
Chu Li clasped his hands and set any better!”
The two then bantered for a while
A sound of a door knock ca outsideHe said that Master Siao Tieying had caught wind of Chu Li's return and had prepared a feast to welco Kuai and returned for a change of clothesHe then joined Lin Quan and proceeded to the Iron Eagle Island
