Chapter 13

Zhuo Feiyang's residence is an independent small courtyard, close to a pine forest. There are more than a dozen such small courtyards in the pine forest, all of whom live in seventh-rank guards.

He used to live in a large courtyard, with more than a dozen rooms in the courtyard, each occupying one room, and it was very lively. As soon as he entered Qipin, he changed into a small courtyard.

If you are promoted to a sixth-rank guard, you can live in a small courtyard near the lake. You can see the lake view through the window, and the breeze is blowing slowly, which is too beautiful to behold.

Zhuo Feiyang went back to his small courtyard after discussing with Zhao Ying anxiously, and saw Li Yue standing in front of the small courtyard and waiting for him with a smile.

He stepped forward and hummed impolitely: "What are you doing here?!"

Li Yue clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother Zhuo, I'm here to deliver the post."

"A post with the surname Chu?" Zhuo Feiyang frowned.

Li Yue handed over the challenge post and said with a smile: "Brother Zhuo, can you reply right away?"

Zhuo Feiyang opened it and looked, his face darkened, he sneered: "Chu, he is really a capricious villain!"

He challenged him face to face, but Chu Li refused. As soon as he came back, the challenge post was sent over, and he repeated it too quickly. Isn't this teasing himself!

"Then brother Zhuo will fight?"

"certainly!"

"Well, at noon tomorrow, the East Garden is waiting for you two!" Li Yue said with a smile: "I still want to send an invitation to Ms. Zhao, farewell!"

"No!" Zhuo Feiyang snorted, pushed open the courtyard door and went in, ignoring Li Yue.

Li Yue shook his head and laughed, very angry. Is Zhuo Feiyang so excited?

Zhao Ying lived in a large courtyard, where Yingying and Yanyan were smiling coquettishly, Li Yue stood outside the courtyard and called Zhao Ying, Zhao Ying took the post with a surprised face.

"Brother Li, what is this?" Zhao Ying's eyes widened.

Li Yue said with a chuckle: "Brother Chu sent a battle invitation to Brother Zhuo, and Brother Zhuo has already agreed, waiting for you two tomorrow."

"Challenge again?" Zhao Ying exclaimed in surprise.

Li Yue smiled wryly: "Oh..., to be honest, I don't know what Brother Chu is up to. Anyway, Miss Zhao, let's go and watch the excitement."

"Could it be that Senior Brother Chu doesn't know that Senior Brother Zhuo is already at Rank 7?" Zhao Ying frowned, a little angrily: "Senior Brother Chu is asking for trouble!"

"hehe……"

"...Okay, I'll go there." Zhao Ying frowned, worried.

"Thank you, Miss Zhao!" Li Yue cupped his fists and saluted, then turned and left.

——

Zhuo Feiyang and Zhao Ying came to the East Garden by boat. Li Yue was waiting under the willow tree on the bank, waving from afar.

"Where's the surname Chu?" Zhuo Feiyang looked around vigilantly.

Zhao Yinghu's green blouse fluttered, she was beautiful and gentle, and she was a little worried.

The East Garden is the garden of Xiao Qi, the third lady. Uninvited people are not allowed to enter the island without the consent of Chu Li and Li Yue, and the consequences will be serious.

Senior Brother Chu took advantage of this, even if he killed Senior Brother Zhuo, it would not be a serious crime, but he was afraid that Senior Brother Chu would really be stupid.

Zhuo Feiyang shouted loudly: "The surname is Chu, your Master Zhuo is here, hurry up and greet him!"

As he spoke, the boat approached the shore.

Li Yue clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother Zhuo, be safe and don't be impatient. Brother Chu is making tea and waiting for the second driver. Please come with me!"

Zhuo Feiyang snorted coldly, turned his head and said, "Zhijie, you stay here."

Bai Zhijie nodded solemnly: "I understand, my lord!"

Zhuo Feiyang and Zhao Yingyue went ashore, followed Li Yue in, and soon came to their small courtyard. Zhuo Feiyang's eyes were piercing, looking around with vigilance.

On the other hand, Zhao Ying looked around curiously. The East Garden lived up to its reputation, full of blooming flowers, so beautiful!

In the small courtyard, Chu Li was sitting at the stone table in a trance. There were four cups of hot tea on the table.

He is practicing Bihai Boundless Kungfu, which is his carefully selected inner strength method.

Vigorous and domineering, like a huge wave emptying the sky, every time it runs for a week, if it is not triggered, it will be superimposed one layer, up to nine layers, and it will exert its own nine times its power.

Such a powerful technique has its fatal weakness. Before hurting others, it hurts itself first, and both jade and stone are destroyed, and the meridians are instantly destroyed.

He dared to choose this exercise because firstly, the small Ximai Jue is an excellent secret method for tempering meridians, and secondly, because of the strong repairing ability of the essence of plants and trees.

Xiaocheng and Kurong Meridian have been upgraded to Xiaoximai Jue, making his meridians stronger and stronger than ordinary people, and Bihai Wulianggong can maximize his strengths.

He also chose a life-sacrificing knife and a flying knife art, which gathered all the internal energy of the whole body in one knife, and sentenced life and death, the death of the opponent, or his own death.

The combination of Bihai Boundless Kung Fu and Sacrificial Life Saber can exert several times its own strength.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, his internal strength dissipated, his eyes dimmed, and there was no sign of overflowing energy, just like someone who has never practiced inner strength and mental methods.

The three of them stepped into the small courtyard, Chu Li stood up, cupped his fists, and smiled: "Junior Sister Zhao, Fang Jia is here, and the plants are shining, please sit down and taste the tea grown by Brother Li!"

Zhuo Feiyang snorted, "Chu, did you put something in your tea?"

Chu Li shook his head and laughed: "The heart of a villain is the heart of a gentleman, do you think it's as low as you?"

"Chu, don't use your tongue, hurry up and do it!" Zhuo Feiyang didn't want to quarrel with him, he won't win, he asked for trouble.

Chu Liduan handed the teacup to Zhao Ying: "Zhuo Feiyang, how about another bet this time?"

"Let's not do this, if you want to fight, you will fight, if you don't fight, you will admit defeat!" Zhuo Feiyang curled his lips and snorted, "It's all about these plots!"

Chu Li tilted his head and laughed: "You've learned a lot from a pit, you've learned a lesson!"

Zhuo Feiyang sneered: "Chu, you have no idea, are you guilty and afraid?"

"oh--?"

"Dare to do it, why bother to talk so much!"

"That's true."

Zhuo Feiyang snorted: "Don't worry, just admit defeat, lest I beat you to the point where you cry!"

"hehe……"

"Chu, as long as you promise me one thing, I won't make it difficult for you!"

"What's up?"

"Withdraw from the previous bet!"

"hehe……"

"Chu, don't cry when you see the coffin. If you really do it, you will definitely be crippled. You took the initiative to challenge this!" Zhuo Feiyang gritted his teeth and stared at him.

Chu Li pulled out the sword on the table, got up and stood in the middle of the small courtyard: "Then come!"

"Hey, it's really lively!" A clear and crisp laughter sounded out.

Zhuo Feiyang turned his head abruptly, his face changed suddenly, he clasped his fists and saluted respectfully: "I've seen Mr. Su!"

Chu Li, Zhao Ying and Li Yue followed suit.

Suru stood pretty at the gate of the courtyard, her apricot-yellow blouse was floating lightly, and her flowery smile lit up the small courtyard.

"What are you doing here?" Suru asked with a smile, looking at Zhuo Feiyang.

Zhuo Feiyang glanced at Chu Li, and said respectfully: "Sir, Chu Li has written a letter of challenge for me, and I can only come to fight!"

"Afternoon? Chu Li will give you a challenge?" Suru's eyes widened.

"Yes." Zhuo Feiyang nodded respectfully: "Don't dare to deceive Director Su!"

"Chu Li, are you confused?"

"Boss, let me see the demeanor of a genius!"

"You are a guard!"

"I like practicing martial arts."

"You haven't practiced your internal skills, so what kind of challenge do you have to ask for trouble!"

"It doesn't matter if you lose."

Zhuo Feiyang looked at Chu Li, and then took a peek at Suru.

Suru was so dazzled by her beauty that he didn't dare to look directly at her, but he could hear her getting more nervous, more jealous and resentful, roaring madly in his heart: If you abolish him, you must abolish him!

No wonder the surname Chu dared to challenge himself, so he got the amulet!

He became more and more confident that he could win, glared at Chu Li with a sneer, and then turned to Suru: "Boss Su, you have no eyes for swords and guns, so you will inevitably lose your sense of proportion when you strike."

Chu Li said: "If you can really kill me, it is also your ability, the manager will not pursue it!"

"Nonsense!" Suru lowered her face.

Zhuo Feiyang hurriedly said: "Forget it, this kind of competition is meaningless, after all, it is different from a real fight!"

Suru is leaning toward Chu Li, if she really does something, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit!

Chu Li smiled and said, "Are you afraid, Zhuo Feiyang?"

Zhuo Feiyang suddenly became angry: "It's a joke!"

"Director, please sweep the formation!" Chu Li clasped his fists and smiled at Suru.

Suru rolled his eyes at him, and said coquettishly, "I'm too lazy to meddle in your business!"

"Zhuo Feiyang, come on, don't make excuses when you lose!"

"Look at the fist!" Zhuo Feiyang shouted angrily, turning his jealousy and resentment into fists, rushing towards him like a shooting star.

Chu Li took a step back and raised the tip of the sword.

Zhuo Feiyang twisted his body to avoid the sword, and threw out his left fist, faster and more cunning.

Chu Li's sword tip was horizontal, and he waited in advance where the fist fell. Zhuo Feiyang could only move his fist and change his moves, and immediately lost his advantage. Chu Li's sword took the lead, forcing Zhuo Feiyang to keep changing his moves.

After more than a dozen moves, Zhuo Feiyang was so depressed that he wanted to yell, and even had the crazy idea of ​​punching Chu Li with his fists.

Suru narrowed her bright eyes slightly.

She had heard that Chu Li's swordsmanship was good, but she didn't expect it to be so good. Zhuo Feiyang's fist was like a gust of wind, surpassing the reaction of a normal person. Chu Li had no internal strength, but relied on his swordsmanship to suppress Zhuo Feiyang. He was a swordsman wizard!

If he practices internal strength, his speed and strength will be greatly improved, and according to her estimation, he can even compete with sixth-rank guards.

It's a pity that such a genius can't practice martial arts! pity!

She couldn't help shaking her head.

Zhuo Feiyang suppressed the urge to roar and pushed with all his strength, his fists getting faster and faster.

"Ah!" He suddenly screamed, his figure slowed down, the tip of the sword stopped in front of his throat, and the cold air penetrated his neck.

Zhuo Feiyang's neck was stiff, his face was gloomy and ugly, and he stared at Chu Li.

Chu Li smiled and drew back his sword: "Zhuo Feiyang, you are defeated!"

"You..." Zhuo Feiyang stared at him.

"Unconvinced, continue to compare?"

"Come again!"

Chu Li smiled: "How shameless!"

"I was careless, do you dare to come again?" Zhuo Feiyang roared angrily.

Suru frowned.

Zhao Ying hurriedly said angrily: "Brother Zhuo!"

"But..." Zhuo Feiyang couldn't swallow this breath.

I worked hard to improve myself, retreated and practiced desperately, and finally broke through the third floor and became a seventh-rank guard. I can finally feel proud and take care of the surname Chu!

Who would have thought that this man surnamed Chu would be so difficult to deal with, even the seventh rank could not beat him!

He felt that Chu Li must have taken some kind of elixir to stimulate his potential, otherwise he would not have such a fast speed and had not practiced internal strength, how could he be so fast!

As long as he endured the strength of the medicine, the one surnamed Chu would definitely return to his original form, and he would be defeated miserably by his own hands!

Chu Li said: "If you are not convinced, then come again!"

Zhuo Feiyang snorted: "Take a breath and talk again, you don't have internal strength, so if you lose, you will say that I bullied you in the wheel battle, and you don't admit it!"

"I'm not that shameless!"

Zhuo Feiyang blushed and said to Suru: "Boss Su, you're laughing!"

Suru said: "Zhuo Feiyang, today's matter must be kept secret, don't tell anyone!"

"...Yes." Zhuo Feiyang was puzzled but didn't ask further.

Suru looked at Zhuo Feiyang: "It's rare for you to be able to reach the seventh rank at such an age!"

"Ashamed." Zhuo Feiyang smiled embarrassedly.

Suru said: "It doesn't matter if you win or lose for a while. You have good talent and you will become stronger and stronger. There is no need to care so much about winning or losing!"

"Yes." Zhuo Feiyang nodded obediently.

Suru stopped talking to him and turned to chat with Zhao Ying.

There are quite a few female guards in the Duke's Mansion, and most of them protect the female relatives in the mansion. Even if they go outside to do missions, it is often not so dangerous.

Zhao Ying is good at martial arts, but not ruthless enough to take the initiative to attack, so she stays in the mansion all the time and rarely does missions.
