Chapter 47 Secrets

He carefully felt that the Tianling tree was growing rapidly, and its roots were slowly stretching out, spreading in all directions, and would eventually connect with the three trees, so that the breath and the root system would be connected together. By then, the speed of growth would be even faster.

The three trees were planted in the southeast, southwest, and back corners of the courtyard, forming an equilateral triangle. The Tianling tree was planted in the center of the equilateral triangle, twelve meters away.

Chu Li sensed the Tianling Tree, and estimated that it would only take two days for it to fully take root. With the help of the breath of the three trees, it would grow faster than expected, and it would germinate after ten days.

Now it seems that it is still a dead branch, with no signs of survival.

Xueling glanced at the dead branch from time to time while serving the dishes, shaking her head, she didn't understand what exactly Chu Li was messing with, planting a tree was nothing more than planting a dead branch on the ground, and looking at it like a baby, it was inexplicable.

She put all the food on the stone table in the small pavilion, and came to Chu Li: "My lord, it's time to eat."

Chu Li waved his hand.

He was sensing the Heavenly Spirit Tree, and suddenly found that it was not only absorbing the breath of the three trees, but also exhaling a trace of breath, which was extremely pure spiritual energy, purer than any spiritual energy he had ever seen Much more, floating in the air, slowly spreading away.

This breath was different from the breath in its body, but after the breath diffused and fell on the three trees, he could feel their vitality flourishing.

He was so addicted to it that he didn't know the passage of time.

A quarter of an hour later, Xueling looked at Xiaoting and said in a low voice, "Master, the dishes are getting cold!"

Chu Li turned his head and stared at her, Xue Ling looked at him not to be outdone, her round eyes never blinking.

"You..." Chu Li sighed, shook his head helplessly, stood up and clapped his hands.

Xueling hurriedly brought over the washbasin. After washing his hands, he went into the kiosk, sat down and picked up the jade chopsticks: "If you haven't had enough sleep, take a nap at noon."

"Yes." Xueling poured the wash water, entered the small booth and stood quietly beside him, exuding a faint refreshing fragrance.

Chu Li took a sip of the side dish and suddenly sipped his wine, thinking about the pure aura just now, and thinking that the aura of the Tianling Tree is much purer than his own internal energy, and using its aura to cultivate is much stronger than his own internal energy, and he can even Use Reiki to purify your inner strength.

Thinking of this, he was in a good mood, and drank the white jade cup in one gulp.

Xueling held the altar and filled it up for him.

"Yo, it's time to eat." Suru opened the door and came in, wearing an apricot-yellow blouse fluttering, swaying to the small pavilion, and glanced at the stone table: "It's quite rich!"

Chu Li smiled and said, "Have the manager eaten?"

"I just finished eating, so I hurried over to have a look at the Heavenly Spirit Tree." Suru waved her hand, came to the dead branch of the Heavenly Spirit Tree, looked down at it, frowned and said, "Is it alive?"

"Already alive." Chu Li said with a smile: "You can see it tomorrow."

"There won't be any problem, right?" Suru looked carefully, no matter how you looked at it, she felt that it was a dead branch, and she didn't feel alive.

Chu Li put down the white jade cup and white jade chopsticks, came to her side, and said with a smile, "How could it be so fast."

"That's true." Suru laughed, she was too anxious.

The Tianling Tree has a lot to do with it. If it is really about to live, it will speed up the growth of the elixir, and the cultivation of the lady will be faster, which is related to the status of the entire Yuqi Island.

She got up and came to Xiaoting, waved her hand and said, "You eat yours."

Xue Ling stepped forward to pay respects, Chu Li went back to the small pavilion and sat down, continuing to drink and eat: "Boss, I don't understand something."

"Is there anything else you don't know?" Suru laughed.

Xueling came out of the kiosk, and quickly served tea, Suru took it and took a sip: "Let's talk."

Chu Li said: "Is Aunt Xiao young, or is she cultivated deeply, so she looks young?"

"Aunt Miss, she is ten years older than Miss."

"It seems that you have succeeded in cultivation." Chu Li said, Xiao Yueling looked about the same age as Xiao Qi, not only in appearance, but also in temperament.

"Well, my aunt is a genius in cultivation, not inferior to Miss."

"I don't know what faction she comes from?"

Suru gave him a white look: "Why are you asking this?"

"I know that Aunt Xiao is in the realm of heaven and earth, which cannot be achieved in the Duke's mansion. She must join another faction, right?"

"It seems that you also know about training." Suru nodded and said, "But this is not suitable for grandma, anyway, this is a secret, it's better that you don't know about it."

Chu Li looked at her curiously.

Suru shook her head.

"Since it's a secret, it's not because of experience, nor is it because of an adventure,... Could it be that Aunt Xiao joined a certain sect since she was a child? She can reach the master level of Tianwaitian at a young age. She must be a famous sect, no more than four Sects, Daleiyin Temple and Jingang Temple are impossible, Qingluya and Ziyun Mountain,... Aunt Xiao is wearing a Taoist robe, is it Qingluya?"

Suru took a look at him and snorted, "You are the only one who is smart!"

Seeing that she did not deny it, Chu Li nodded thoughtfully.

The Duke's Mansion and the martial arts sect are natural enemies, and the Duke's Mansion is a sharp blade used by the royal family to suppress the martial arts sect. If they collude, the royal family will be angry and there will be no good fruit for the Duke's Mansion.

Chu Li frowned: "This move..."

He shook his head, this is not a good move, how could the royal family not know that Yi Guogong's mansion will be suspected and even severely punished by the royal family.

"There's no way around it!" Suru sighed, "Grandma's personality is different from Miss's. She was a maverick since she was a child. At that time, her ancestors favored her so much that no one could control her. She sneaked out of the Duke's mansion by herself and pretended to be a Ordinary people ended up worshiping Qingluya by chance."

Chu Li shook his head, Xiao Yueling's move was tantamount to setting the Duke's mansion on fire.

"The ancestor announced that my aunt was dead." Suru sighed, "There was a lot of trouble at that time, and my aunt had many suitors, including the eldest son of Duke Ren's mansion."

"Then what?"

Suru sighed: "Grandma's original name was Miss Xiao, she changed her name to Xiao Yueling after she entered Qingluya, she never changed back, she never claimed to be a member of the Duke's Mansion, and said Miss Xiao was dead."

"Xiao****..." Chu Li was thoughtful: "Is the princess of Ren Guogong's mansion called Lu Yurong?"

The last time he was assassinated by the Duke of Ren, he came back to learn more about the Duke of Ren, and knew that the one who ordered people to attack them was probably Lu Yurong, the outstanding princess of the Duke of Ren, and a very smart person.

Suru said: "Lu Yurong's father has nothing to do with my aunt."

Chu Li was dubious.

Suru took a look at him and snorted, "You know what to do with these things, it's harmful but not beneficial."

Chu Li smiled and drank the white jade cup in one gulp.

Xueling held the jar to fill it up for him again, put down the jar and stood quietly behind him.

Suru sighed: "Lu Yurong's father died young, her elder brother took care of her, his elder brother was like a father, but his elder brother became obsessed with aunt, and when he heard that aunt died, he soon died of depression."

Chu Li was startled.

"At that time, the two dukes' mansions were not enemies, but after the death of the eldest son of the duke's mansion of Renguo, it would be!"

"Didn't Lu Yurong kill Aunt Xiao?"

"Lu Yurong just hated, but didn't take any action. Later, the news that the aunt was alive leaked out, and she began to take revenge. The aunt was her elder brother's favorite person, and she was also a victim. Lu Yurong felt that everything was the fault of our government and announced her death. Deceive the world, wise and safe."

"There's nothing wrong with thinking that way."

"Alas...the two dukes' houses have become enemies, and the feud is getting deeper and deeper." Suru shook her head and said, "Duke Ren's mansion has become stronger and more aggressive under her management!... Now I know , how do you feel?"

Chu Li shook his head, really speechless.

He drank it all in one gulp, put down the white jade cup, and muttered: "The royal family also knows about Aunt Xiao, right?"

"The Duke of Renguo knew about it, how could the royal family not know about it?" Suru curled her lips, "So our Duke's mansion was left out in the cold, otherwise, how could we be bullied by the Duke of Renguo!"

"Where's Miss's mother?" Chu Li said, "It seems to be Qingluya's disciple too?"

"You know this too?"

"Isn't Aunt Xiao called Junior Sister?"

"Well, madam is also a disciple of Qingluya."

Chu Li shook his head and smiled wryly. Who is the Royal Family not taboo against?

"It's also a coincidence." Suru shook her head: "Master was hiding his identity when he was walking in the martial arts world. When he met Madam, it was love at first sight."

"What happened later?" Chu Li frowned: "Could it be that he entered the mansion?"

"No." Suru said helplessly: "After Madam found out the identity of the master, she left on her own initiative. She was pregnant at that time, and died of dystocia when giving birth to the young lady. The young lady was taken back to the mansion and raised by the old ancestor."

Chu Li sighed. He could guess Xiao Qi's situation when he heard this. He probably didn't like her father. The old ancestor had passed away for several years, and she must have a hard time.

"Fortunately, the two sons and the second young lady have a close relationship with the young lady." Suru smiled: "The young lady is considered lucky."

"Yes..." Chu Li nodded.

The rule of this world is the eldest son inheritance system, the eldest son will inherit the Duke's mansion, the fourth son has no right to inherit, let alone the girl, besides there is a second lady on top, Xiao Qi is the third lady.

His circle of activities is very narrow, and he has never seen the eldest son, the fourth son and the second lady, only heard rumors about them. the head of the family.

The fourth son, Xiao Baihe, has excellent aptitude. He doesn't care about worldly affairs and only practices martial arts. It is said that he has gone out of the mansion to travel, and the disciples of the Duke's mansion have to go to the martial arts. To be an enemy of the martial arts, one must fully understand the martial arts.

The second young lady, Xiao Shi, does not understand martial arts, but she is extremely beautiful. She is known as the number one beauty in the season, but it is a pity that she hardly ever goes out of Yushi Island, and even when she does, she covers her face with white gauze.

The third lady, Xiao Qi, is extremely intelligent, and she is a right-hand man helping the eldest son with government affairs.

"The martial arts practiced by the young lady is not Qingluya martial arts?"

"Of course not!" Suru shook her head and said, "It's the ancient magic learned by madam, but it's very difficult to cultivate, if it's not for Ziminghua, the lady is still trekking hard, it would be much better to have Ziminghua! "

Chu Li nodded thoughtfully.

Suru took a look at him and snorted, "You are so curious, you can't do it!"

Chu Li smiled and said: "Knowing this, I can let go of my hands and feet when I do things. My head is foggy, I can't understand my thoughts, and I can't use my hands and feet."

"It's better to rot in your stomach." Suru turned her head and glanced at Xue Ling, who hurriedly took a step back.

Chu Li smiled and said, "What kind of spiritual grass do you want to plant, miss?"

"There are a few other medicines, all of which are difficult to grow and grow very slowly." Suru said, "I'm getting seeds, and they will be delivered in a few days!"

Chu Li nodded.

"How is your Vajra Duer magic skill?"

"The progress is slow!" Chu Li shook his head: "I think there is something wrong with the cultivation method, and I need to change it."

"Don't worry, the Vajra Duer magic skill needs to be practiced for a lifetime!" Suru got up and waved her hands, "Okay, don't give it away either, hurry up and eat, it's cold!"
