A bright moon hangs in the sky, turning like an ice wheel, spreading its cold and clear light all over the sky.
The lights in Duke Yi's mansion are brightly lit. Even at night, the lights in the mansion are not extinguished, just like during the day.
There are many people busy in the house, some are practicing martial arts, some are reading, some are planting spiritual herbs, and some are boating on the lake.
Chu Li's island, Chu Li and Xiao Qi suddenly appeared in his small courtyard.
There is a Heavenly Spirit Tree planted in the courtyard, which is rich in spiritual energy. Various spiritual plants are colorful and full of vitality. They are working hard to grow at night.
Xiao Qi broke away from his hand at the waist and whispered: "I'll go back first, and you can come back tomorrow."
Chu Li nodded.
Xiao Qi curled away with a refreshing fragrance, and snowflakes came floating in the air: "Young Master?"
Her long and shiny black hair was flowing, she was dressed in a moon-white robe, and her jade face was as crystal clear as jade. As her realm of Taiyin Jue deepened, her temperament changed gradually, becoming colder and colder.
Chu Li took out a plain piece of paper from his arms and handed it over: "Prepare some of these spiritual herbs, I'm going to make an elixir!"
"Yes!" Xueling took the note and said, "Master, do you want to take a rest first?"
"Yeah, that's fine." Chu Li nodded: "Have you had nothing to do recently?"
Xueling shook her head while making tea and said: "There's nothing big going on outside. It's just that the eldest young master and his wife quarreled again, and she ran back to her parents' house again!"
Chu Li couldn't help but laugh: "The eldest son really can't surrender his wife."
Xueling pursed her lips and laughed: "The eldest young master's methods don't work in front of the madam. I am not afraid of him at all. He is defeated every time. I will have to go over there to pick up the madam in two days."
Chu Li said helplessly: "Forget it, let them go and have nothing to do. They must bring enough guards. If I fall down, I will probably be unable to sit still and ready to move!"
Xueling nodded lightly and said, "The news about the young master has reached here."
"How did everyone react?"
"Everyone said that we should just ignore the emperor and just go back to the palace." Xueling said, "The emperor can't come to the Duke's palace to ask for people anyway!"
Chu Li said: "Don't be anxious yet."
"How long will the young master stay?" Xueling said, "How about I go over and serve the young master? There can't be no one around to take care of the young master."
Chu Li shook his head: "You are not allowed to bring maids. No one else is allowed except family members."
"Then the third lady is coming back too?"
"She stays."
"...Huh——?" Xueling was confused.
Chu Li smiled and said: "She will be Mrs. Chu from now on."
Xueling's bright eyes widened in disbelief: "No way?"
Chu Li said angrily: "Is it such a surprise?"
"Sir, do you really want to marry the third lady?"
"Um."
"Can the eldest son agree?"
"Come back this time and ask, I guess it's not a big problem." Chu Li said with a smile.
Xueling shook her head and said: "I guess the eldest young master will not agree, Miss Third..."
Chu Li's disciples don't have a strong sense of class. After all, in their previous lives they were only in the middle and lower classes and were not involved in the upper echelons of society. Xueling has been growing up in this way, but he has a deep-rooted sense of class. Although Chu Li is a first-class disciple, after all, he has a poor background and is born with deficiencies.
Chu Li said: "Let's look at the eldest son."
Xueling pursed her lips and said with a smile: "If you can really marry the third lady, sir, you will become famous all over the world!"
"Am I not famous enough now?" Chu Li snorted.
Xueling laughed and shook her head, then ran away to prepare the spiritual herbs.
Growing up from a handyman to a general manager, and finally marrying a young lady, is really a strange thing.
It is estimated that everyone will know that this matter will attract people more than the name of Beichuan Linan Du Feng. After all, many people are not martial arts people and do not care about martial arts masters.
——
At noon the next day, Chu Li made a furnace of tiger bone elixir and then came to Yuqi Island.
The bright sunshine was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze swept across the lake, bringing with it a refreshing and a bit of chill. It passed by the still lush willow branches and came to a small pavilion, blowing on the faces of Xiao Tieying, Xiao Baihe and Chu Li.
In the small pavilion, Xiao Tieying and Xiao Baihe sat next to each other, and Chu Li sat opposite them.
Xiao Tieying was still handsome and calm, staring at Chu Li coldly.
Xiao Baihe, on the other hand, was extremely handsome and looked at Chu Li with a smile.
After a while, Xiao Tieying looked Chu Li up and down, sighed and said: "Do you really want to marry my little sister?"
Chu Li nodded: "My eldest son, are you in trouble?"
"That's not true." Xiao Tieying shook his head and said: "Actually, no matter who the younger sister wants to marry, I will not object. I will marry the second younger sister... In short, as long as the younger sister is willing to marry, I will never object!
"
Chu Li said: "Don't worry, eldest son, I will cherish the young lady."
"I'm not worried about this. I'm just worried that you will be under too much pressure and that it will damage your reputation as the Chief Manager of Chu." Xiao Tieying sighed.
After all, he was born an orphan and grew up in a temple. He was born in a lonely family and his family was extremely weak. If he married a younger sister, there would be people who would look down upon him, be jealous of him, and scold him for being a softie.
Of course there will be those who are envious, but most of these envious people are from the lower class, who are far different from the scholar-bureaucrat class and are out of place.
Chu Li smiled and said: "My reputation doesn't matter, I just ignore them."
"The power of gossip is also quite impressive." Xiao Tieying shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it, and I'm afraid the emperor will not transfer you back to the capital."
Once Chu Li becomes the son-in-law of the Duke's Mansion, his status is completely different from that of the general manager. He needs to be used with caution, as he may not be able to return to the Secret Guard Mansion.
Chu Li said: "It doesn't matter, I just want to practice quietly."
Xiao Tieying smiled and said: "You have magical powers and can come back at any time. I'm not afraid, but it's uncomfortable to be sneaking all the time. I told you that if you want to get married, you should come back to the Duke's Mansion. At least you can stay at the Duke's Mansion and be at ease.
, will not suffer.”
Chu Li shook his head: "Young Master, I want to stay there first and take a look."
It is indeed a great enjoyment to stay in the Duke's Mansion. The status is respected and no one dares to disobey it, but it is too easy to lose the fighting spirit and the gods are far away.
There is a secret of the gods over there in the imperial mausoleum. He has never given up and wants to find an opportunity to touch this mystery. The first step is to get in touch with the people in the inner mausoleum.
"Okay, it's up to you." Xiao Tieying said no more: "You have thought more carefully than us. Since you have made up your mind, I won't persuade you. Don't you want to get married?"
"Let's leave it alone for now," Chu Li said.
Xiao Tieying sighed: "I have wronged my little sister...I will release the news."
Chu Li clasped his fists.
Xiao Baihe smiled and said: "Brother, I have been worried about who dares to marry the third sister. The third sister is cold, not pretentious towards men, and is too smart. How can any man be able to stand up to her? They all feel ashamed in front of her and are beaten by others.
It’s so overwhelming!”
Xiao Tieying snorted: "You are very brave if you dare to say that."
Xiao Baihe hurriedly turned to look around and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that Xiao Qi was not there.
Chu Li laughed, looking proud.
What Xiao Baihe said was true. There were not many men who could remain calm in front of Xiao Qi, let alone have other thoughts.
——
Zhuo Feiyang slowly walked up to the third floor of the restaurant, wearing a sapphire blue gown that made his face even more crystal clear and moist, making him look as plump as jade.
Going upstairs, he glanced around with eyes like cold stars, and saw the middle-aged man sitting by the window. He frowned and walked forward, sitting opposite him.
The middle-aged man threw a jade bottle to him: "There is a tiger bone pill inside. After taking it, your physical fitness will be greatly improved. You haven't practiced hard enough!"
"I have been practicing hard!" Zhuo Feiyang said angrily: "You think I am you, Chief Manager!"
This middle-aged man was exactly what Chu Li was pretending to be. Zhuo Feiyang knew that his bone-shrinking skills were top-notch, so it was easy to transform him into something like this, so he didn't wonder how he secretly came to the capital of the gods.
Chu Li hummed: "You are slacking off, your life in peace is too beautiful."
"Nothing." Zhuo Feiyang hummed: "My martial arts has hit a bottleneck this time, and I have been trying to find a way to break through."
"You will be able to break through after taking this." Chu Li said lightly: "You have gone astray and underestimate the body too much. You must train both body and qi at the same time!"
"Is that so?"
"Believe it or not," Chu Li hummed, "This Tiger Bone Pill is very precious, it seems you don't want it!"
"Of course!" Zhuo Feiyang hurriedly took it into his arms.
