Chapter 41 Heavenly Spirit

When Chu Li turned around, he seemed to wave his hand casually.

With a clear slap, Zhou Yuting covered his face and glared at him angrily.

Chu Li smiled and said, "Look at me, I was too careless, I'm sorry, Brother Zhou!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhou Yuting to speak, he turned around and left the Qicao Pavilion.

Outside Qicaoxuan, Qingshi Street was quiet, a string of lanterns illuminated like daytime, only an old couple walking lightly.

Chu Li stepped out of the Qicao Pavilion with the roots of the tree, with a smile on his face.

Seeing Zhao Ying's gloomy face, he smiled and said, "Junior Sister, don't listen to Zhou Yuting's nonsense."

"Yeah." Zhao Ying was unhappy.

"His mouth, what's hard to hear, there's no need to care about it!"

Zhao Ying was silent.

"Zhou Yuting said that just to disgust me, I'm the one who got you into trouble!"

Zhao Ying still did not speak.

"He won't dare to talk nonsense in the future, and promises to be obedient every time we meet!"

"Don't be angry, we have already taken revenge and cheated them!"

Zhao Ying gave him a white look: "Brother, haven't you been tricked by someone? Five hundred taels!"

"Hehe, these five hundred taels are so worth it!" Chu Li stroked the iron-like roots and exclaimed, "This is a priceless treasure!"

"Really?... What is it?"

"Have you heard of the Sky Spirit Tree?"

"Sky Spirit Tree...?" Zhao Ying frowned and thought about it, then shook her head slowly.

Chu Li smiled and said, "Then you go back and check it yourself."

The Heavenly Spirit Tree can exude an aura that can speed up the growth of vegetation. It can be described as a priceless treasure in legends. I didn't expect to meet it here.

As the age of the tree grows, the acceleration will be faster. For precious medicinal materials, time is the most important thing. The existence of the Sky Spirit Tree is of inestimable value.

"Didn't he recognize Gu Litong?" Zhao Ying snorted, she had a great impression of Gu Litong, and she was the same as Zhou Yuting!

Chu Li caressed the roots of the tree, and said with a chuckle, "If he wants to recognize it, he won't let it out even if he has a hundred thousand taels of it!"

Zhao Ying glanced at Chu Li up and down, and suddenly came to her senses, from the moment she entered Qicaoxuan, Senior Brother Chu was plotting against Gu Litong. The first two tree roots deliberately pretended to be fighting spirit, just to mislead Gu Litong.

Unknowingly, Gu Litong fell into the trap and let this treasure out.

"Brother, you are really treacherous!"

Chu Li smiled without saying a word.

"I think Zhou Yuting is terrified, isn't he that timid?"

"That's because you don't know Zhou Gongfeng's character," Chu Li shook his head and laughed, "He strictly forbids Zhou Yuting from getting close to women."

"Why?"

"At the beginning, Zhou Yuting practiced boy kungfu, but someone used a beauty trick to destroy his skills. If he knew that Zhou Yuting was raising a woman, his legs would be broken!"

"And this kind of thing..."

"Zhou Yuting was lying in a daze outside. In front of his father, it was like a mouse seeing a cat."

Zhao Ying imagined Zhou Yuting shrinking her head, and couldn't help but smile.

Chu Li smiled and said, "Sister, if you don't understand your hatred, why don't you give him a good meal?"

Zhao Ying quickly waved her hands: "There are government regulations!...Brother, you are not allowed to mess around!"

To deal with swearing, just swear back. She also scolded Zhou Yuting severely, and it would be different if she did something. If Chu Li really did something, the third lady would have more eyes on him and would not take sides.

Her bright eyes widened, and she looked at Chu Li seriously.

"Alright, I'll just leave him alone!" Chu Li said with a smile.

Chu Li didn't want to finish, and entered two more flower and plant sellers, but they returned disappointed.

The Heavenly Spirit Tree is a rare treasure, but it is not easy to survive, and it is difficult to grow. Like a monarch, it needs other trees to help. The black green tree, Mingxia tree, and Jinghuai tree, these three trees are indispensable.

"Brother, it's getting late, let's go back!" Zhao Ying looked at the bright moon in the sky.

Chu Li shook his head at the roots of the Tianling Tree: "I'll take you back to the house."

"I want to go back home." Zhao Ying whispered.

Chu Li looked at her face, her bright eyes turned away to avoid his gaze.

Without Dayuan Jingzhi, Chu Li knew that Zhou Yuting's words still worked, and Zhao Ying wanted to avoid suspicion.

Although he is a first-time brother in love, he also knows that he should not act too hastily, he wants to take it slowly, and said with a smile: "That's right, let's go back together."

"I'm planning to practice in seclusion, so I can't take care of the house."

"It's okay, I'll let Brother Li help."

"En." Zhao Yinglian walked slowly and hesitated, preoccupied.

Chu Li pretended not to see it, and smiled and told her anecdotes and gossip about the mansion. Zhao Ying liked to listen to these gossips.

Zhao Ying answered absent-mindedly, and the two slowly returned to the Duke's Mansion, entered the mansion, and then separated, and Chu Li drove the boat back to the East Garden.

——

Suru came to Chuli's small courtyard, knocked on the door, Xueling came out to welcome her, and bowed to salute, "I've seen the manager!"

The apricot-yellow blouse is especially bright under the light, making her even more beautiful: "Chu Li returned to the East Garden?"

"Yes." Xue Ling replied.

Suru entered the yard, looked at the black soil, walked around cautiously, came to the small pavilion and sat down: "How is it, he's easy to serve, right?"

"...It's okay." Xue Ling hesitated.

Suru turned to look at her.

Xueling lowered her eyes slightly, her expression solemn.

Suru pointed at her: "It seems that you have relapsed from your old problem, your eyes have grown on top of your head again, and you look down on Chu Li, don't you?"

"Manager..." Xue Ling smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm quite strange." Suru shook her head and said, "Why don't you take Chu Li seriously?"

Xueling looked at her, then lowered her head again: "He doesn't know martial arts?"

"He doesn't know martial arts?!" Suru was stunned and giggled.

Xue Ling looked up: "Isn't it right?"

"Hehe, who told you that he doesn't know martial arts?" Suru couldn't stop laughing.

Xue Ling was furious with Suru's laughter: "His eyes are dull, his limbs are weak, and he has no internal strength to support him. You can tell by looking at him that he has never practiced martial arts!"

After talking about it, she became more and more convinced of her own judgment: "There is nothing wrong with the temple, even if you practice martial arts, your cultivation is limited!"

"Xue Ling, this is the best joke I've ever heard, I must tell Miss when I get back!"

As soon as Xueling heard that she wanted to tell the lady, she panicked, because she was too arrogant, she was often reprimanded by the lady, so she hurriedly said: "Master, am I right?"

Suru took two deep breaths, and suppressed her smile: "Oh..., to tell you the truth, Chu Li is a natural master."

"A congenital expert?!" Xue Ling was startled, and looked at her in surprise.

Suru smiled and said, "I won't lie to you, will I?"

"But...but..." Xueling frowned, and said puzzledly: "But he doesn't have the appearance of a master at all. Isn't the temple sunken for a congenital master?"

"Everyone's physique is different, and the appearance may not be so accurate." Suru smiled lightly, "How about it, do you think you can be proud?"

Xue Ling lowered her head.

I really didn't expect him to be a congenital master, such a young congenital master, comparable to Miss.

The young lady's aptitude is astonishingly talented, she practices the world's top unique knowledge, and has the resources of the Duke's Mansion to help her. It is not surprising that she is a congenital master at a young age, but Chu Li is just a bodyguard.

"You..." Suru pointed at her, "I don't dare to be arrogant, I will suffer a lot sooner or later, did Chu Li scold you?"

"Sir, no matter how arrogant I am, I will never lose my duty."

"Hmph, what a smart man he is. He has already seen through your small thoughts, so he doesn't bother to argue with you."

Xue Ling lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Is he practicing a strange martial art?"

"The posture is quite strange."

"You must not practice!" Suru pointed at her: "I dare not practice this!"

"Yes." Xue Ling nodded reluctantly.

Suru said solemnly: "Xueling, if you choose Taiyin Jue, you can no longer be greedy, this method consumes the most energy."

"Yes." Xue Ling replied solemnly.

Only then did Suru feel relieved: "You are his maid, serve you wholeheartedly, put away those petty thoughts, he is very important to Miss!... If you make him unhappy, I won't care about being punished!"

Xueling said helplessly, "Yes."

"Okay, I'm leaving." Suru stood up, "Miss is worried about you, so she asked me to come over and give some advice, you are really confused!"

Xue Ling lowered her head in shame.

Suru waved her hand, and lightly left the small courtyard.

—

When Chu Li came to the small courtyard early the next morning, he found that Xue Ling was much better, unlike before, when he had to tell her to do everything.

After activating the big round mirror and taking a quick look, Chu Li couldn't help but laugh, the young lady's thoughts are delicate enough.

Xue Ling served two exquisite dishes: "Master, here are two small dishes I made."

"Well, not bad." Chu Li glanced at it, and it was full of color and fragrance.

Xueling brought another black jar, opened the seal, and the unique mellow fragrance wafted into his nose, and he knew it was Guangling brewed for more than ten years as soon as he smelled it.

This altar costs at least ten taels of silver.

"My lord, please—!" Xueling filled a white jade cup for him, and offered it with both hands.

Reflected by the warm white jade, the golden wine becomes more delicate and full-bodied, with a bit of rich taste.

Chu Li took the white jade cup and said with a smile, "Xue Ling, what's going on?"

"My lord, I want you to teach me how to practice." Xue Ling looked directly at him with clear eyes.

"Tai Yin formula?" Chu Li shook the white jade cup lightly.

Xueling straightened her back and nodded lightly: "Yes."

"Okay," Chu Li smiled: "But let me give advice, the price is not cheap!"

"Young master, but follow orders!"

Chu Li pointed to the table: "Each meal has four dishes, one soup, and a jar of good wine."

"...No problem!" Xue Ling gritted her teeth, and replied slowly but forcefully.

Chu Li looked at her with a smile, and stared at her jade face unscrupulously: "Well, let me give you a few pointers first,... adjust the practice time, practice at midnight, and don't practice Taiyin Jue during the day."

Xue Ling blinked her bright eyes, and looked at him puzzled.

Taiyin formula is difficult to practice, and the progress is extremely slow. It takes time to practice bit by bit. She is practicing against the clock and only practice in the child's time. The year of the monkey can open the pulse!

Chu Li didn't say any more, drank the white jade cup in one gulp, picked up the white jade chopsticks and started eating, with an intoxicated expression on his face.

Xueling held the altar and filled the white jade cup, doubtful.

PS: I need everyone's support, and I really need recommendation tickets.
