Originally, all she needed was Suru to send it over, but she was worried and wanted to give it to her personally, lest Chu Li be so bold as to take risks, which would be a big deal.
After they left, Chu Li returned to the small pavilion and slowly opened the black box. The evil spirit surged in like a tide, as if it transformed into a tiger and pounced on him. It was frightening and made people want to turn around and run away.
Chu Li stretched out his hand, slowly approached the tiger bone, and stopped a foot away. Sensitive cold air penetrated his body, and his meridians and muscles seemed to be pierced by countless cold needles, causing unbearable pain.
He withdrew his hand and stared at the tiger bones, feeling the evil spirit on them.
Just a piece of bone can have such power and evil aura. He can vaguely understand how powerful a living spiritual tiger can be.
The White Tiger Refining the Yang Diagram requires this overwhelming power. The more powerful the white tiger in the visualization is, the stronger and purer the power coming from the void is, the stronger the power of the White Tiger Refining the Yang Diagram is.
Xueling received Chu Li's instructions to help Jiang Huai's family settle down. She would first let Shu Yuting live in the guest house, and then take Jiang Huai to go through the formalities in the house.
Wearing a fluttering white shirt and her temperament as ice-like as snow, she held a boat and took Jiang Huai to the Martial Arts Hall.
On the martial arts training ground in front of the martial arts hall, the guards gathered in groups of twos and threes, sparring in martial arts, or practicing alone. Those who practiced swords, those who practiced swords, those who practiced palms, and those who practiced boxing were all diverse and lively.
Xue Ling stepped ashore softly, and the lively martial arts training ground gradually became quiet. People made way for Xue Ling to pass through without having to go around.
Xue Lingyu's face was solemn, and she nodded gently to greet everyone.
Jiang Huai followed her and was stared at by hundreds of people. So many unfriendly looks made him feel uncomfortable.
After passing through the crowd, Jiang Huai breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Miss Xueling, what happened to them?"
Xueling said calmly: "My young master is known as the number one master among young people."
"Brother Chu is so majestic?" Jiang Huai was surprised.
Xueling hummed proudly: "Young Master's number one master is the result of fighting, and they all respect it."
"It's really amazing." Jiang Huai sighed.
He could see that there were many innate masters among these people, and the strength of the Duke's Mansion was indeed astonishing.
Xueling walked quietly and took him to the Yanwu Palace, explained the reason, and helped Jiang Huai receive his waist badge.
"This is just the lowest guard badge. To turn it into a guard, you need to break into the ninth-grade building." Xueling said: "Let's go, follow me."
"Nine-grade building?" Jiang Huai asked.
Xueling said: "The guards in the mansion only talk about martial arts, not anything else. How many floors of ninth-grade buildings they have passed through means the number of guards. It all depends on one's ability. Mr. Jiang does not need to hide his clumsiness. The higher the grade, the higher the salary. If you are one grade short of
It’s several times worse!”
"Okay." Jiang Huai nodded slowly.
When he first entered the Duke's Mansion, he wanted to gain a foothold, so of course he had to show off his abilities. He saw so many innate masters in the martial arts training ground, and he felt pressured.
The two of them arrived in front of the Jiupin Bronze Tower. The majestic bronze tower exuded cold air and light in the sun. It was majestic and imposing.
"This is the Jiupin Building." Xueling looked up. Every time he came here to look up, he could not help but feel humbled: "Young Master Jiang can enter with his badge."
"Miss Xueling, wait a moment." Jiang Huai strode into the ninth-grade building.
——
Xueling stood quietly in front of the Jiupin Building. The bright sunshine shone warmly on her body, but there was a coldness lingering around her body.
Her temperament is cold, and coupled with her practice of Taiyin Jue, she always makes people feel cold.
As the Taiyin Art became more advanced, the cold air on her body became stronger and stronger. When she got closer, she felt like she was immersed in a cold spring, and there was no sense of blasphemy.
Her character was also affected by Taiyin Jue, and she became more and more cold and indifferent. She didn't care about anything, and her mind was completely placed in the small courtyard. Only in the small courtyard could she relax her mood and reveal her joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. When she went outside, her heart felt like it was surrounded by something.
Wrapped in a layer of ice, it is difficult to shake.
An hour passed quickly, and she suddenly looked up and saw Jiang Huai slowly walking out of the bronze door, his face pale and his steps difficult.
Xueling took out a bottle of pill pills from his arms, poured one out and handed it over: "Are you not hurt?"
"Tired." Jiang Huai smiled bitterly.
Xueling said: "This is the Peiyuan Pill, which restores internal strength."
"Thank you." Jiang Huai took it and drank it happily, shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "It's really amazing!"
"How many floors did Mr. Jiang break through?"
"I haven't gotten past the fifth floor."
"Oh, that means breaking through the fourth level and the sixth level. That's awesome!" Jiang Huai praised: "You can break through to the sixth level as soon as you get up. The future is boundless."
"I can't get through the fifth floor in a short period of time." Jiang Huai took the Peiyuan Pill, and soon the heat spread all over his body.
He secretly sighed that Peiyuan Pill was far better than any other pills he had ever taken, and he was worthy of the Duke's Mansion!
Xueling smiled and said: "Sixth grade is already powerful enough, eight hundred taels of silver per month."
"Brother Chu is the fourth grade." Jiang Huai said.
Xueling shook his head and said: "Young master is a bodyguard, and his salary is far worse than that of a bodyguard!"
"The fourth-grade guards, Brother Chu, are even more powerful." Jiang Huai said.
Xueling said: "Young Master has made countless contributions. Young Master Jiang, let's go to the small courtyard where you live."
They first picked up Shu Yuting who was staying in the guest house, and Xueling took a boat to take Jiang Huai and Shu Yuting to a small island.
The island is full of greenery, surrounded by willow trees, with fluttering willow branches and a vibrant atmosphere.
The three of them got off the boat, walked along the path surrounded by flowers, and came to an exquisite courtyard.
Xueling opened the courtyard door: "Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, this is your residence. You two go in first and have a look. If you are not satisfied, then change to another room."
Jiang Huai smiled and said: "Can I still choose a yard to live in?"
Xueling said: "There are so many courtyards in the house that you can't finish them all at random. You two don't have to worry. If you feel dissatisfied after living there for a while, you can change them."
"There are so many courtyards in the mansion?" Jiang Huai asked doubtfully.
Xueling said: "There are already many courtyards built in the mansion, plus many guards cannot live in the mansion, so we are very wealthy."
"Is it okay if you don't live in the mansion?"
Xueling nodded: "Guards are very free. As long as they abide by the rules of the government and complete their respective tasks, they can live wherever they like."
"Isn't the government afraid..." Jiang Huai frowned.
This approach has too many loopholes. The Duke's Mansion seems to be undefended and has no appearance of security.
Xueling said: "Master Jiang is worried about the safety of the house, right?"
"Yes." Jiang Huai nodded.
Xueling said: "Don't worry, Young Master, our Duke's Mansion is different from the other mansions. It is built on a lake with small islands. Each island has its own reality. If someone wants to attack, I guarantee he will never come back!"
Jiang Huai was dubious.
Xueling showed a smile: "Since the establishment of the Duke's Mansion, there have been numerous attempts to attack the Duke's Mansion, but none of them succeeded."
"Why is this?" Jiang Huai asked: "Is there a master on every island?"
Xueling said: "Of course there are experts in charge. The reality is unpredictable. Only the third lady knows it. It's a secret."
"In this way..." Jiang Huai nodded slowly.
Shu Yuting entered the small courtyard and looked around.
There is a flower garden, a bamboo forest, and a small pavilion, which are quiet and pleasant, and are elegantly decorated.
The furniture in the house is antique, simple and natural in style. You can tell at a glance that it is made of precious wood and made by master craftsmen. It is antique and contains luxury.
Shu Yuting fell in love at first sight and smiled.
Seeing that they were satisfied, Xueling helped them find a maid to take care of their daily life. Jiang Huai officially became the guard of the Duke's Mansion. He could visit the Martial Arts Hall and make some friends.
When Xueling returned to the small courtyard, the sun had already set, and the residual light illuminated the courtyard red. Chu Li was staring at a black box in the small pavilion. (To be continued.)
