Chapter 9 Competition

"It's actually quite funny to say something so clumsy!" Chu Li shook his head and laughed.

He glanced at Gu Litong and Zhou Yuting, and shook his head: "The two of you want to take advantage of the number of people, and the three of you will become tigers. Alas... instead of thinking about such dirty tricks, it's better to use your mind on the right way!"

"It's not your turn to teach me a lesson!" Zhou Yuting said with a sneer, "You, Chu Li, are you crazy for wanting to be famous, how dare you do such a thing!"

"Brother Zhou, you'd better shut up!" Chu Li waved his hand, looked at Gu Litong and said, "It's better to be famous than to meet. I really didn't expect Brother Gu to be such a person. Disappointed, very disappointed!"

Gu Litong snorted: "What do you want to say?"

Chu Li said: "Brother Gu, can you support Yueguanglan?"

"What do you mean?" Gu Litong frowned.

"I'm really worried for Brother Gu," Chu Li shook his head and laughed, "I'm not prepared for such a low-level trick? Moonlight Orchid is not so easy to raise!"

Gu Litong's face became ugly, and he asked gloomyly, "Can't you adapt to the climate here?"

Chu Li smiled and said: "I can adapt, but I still need to know some personality, after all, it is delicate and picky by nature."

Gu Litong sneered and said: "The surname Chu is insidious enough, you still have a hand in it!"

Chu Li nodded.

"It's a joy! It's a joy, haha!" Li Yue laughed loudly, raised his glass and drank it down, laughing heartily.

Gu Litong and Zhou Yuting glared at Chuli with gloomy faces.

Chu Li shook his head and said, "Brother Gu, give you another year, can you research Moonlight Orchid?"

"Of course!" Gu Litong snorted, "I succeeded soon, but there is no Yueguanglan in Qicaoxuan this year!"

Chu Li said: "Well, I can provide Moonlight Orchids to Brother Gu, one plant a month, twelve plants a year, let's see if Brother Gu can succeed!"

Gu Litong snorted: "Since you have already researched it, why bother!"

"Brother Gu, you are guilty." Chu Li said with a smile.

Gu Litong said coldly: "The surname is Chu, don't be too complacent, not every time you have such good luck!"

It really takes luck to feed Moonlight Orchid. He has been doing research for a year, but he has made little progress. He even bought soil from Moonlight Island, but it was useless.

He guessed that Moonlight Island uses a unique secret method to cultivate moonlight orchids, the same environment, the same soil and climate, and it cannot be raised without the secret method.

Zhou Yuting snorted, "Chu, be careful!"

Chu Li frowned, and said in surprise: "Brother Zhou is threatening me and wants to use force?"

"Of course I won't violate government regulations!" Zhou Yuting smiled: "But people outside the government may not sell your face!"

"Then I have to report to the people in the Hall of Punishment first!" Chu Li shook his head, Zhou Yuting's methods were really low-level and unscrupulous.

"Do you think the Palace of Punishment will take care of you?" Zhou Yuting said proudly, "I was just joking!"

Chu Li put down his wine glass and leaned forward to Zhou Yuting: "If I am injured, Yue Guanglan will not be taken care of, and I will definitely die a lot. Think about it, how much loss is this?...The mansion will kill you because you are the son of Mr. Zhou." cover you?"

Zhou Yuting snorted sullenly.

Chu Li sighed in a low voice, "I'll tell you the truth, Brother Zhou."

Zhou Yuting looked at him impatiently.

Chu Li sighed: "Besides being a good father, you are useless. You are very interested in being pointed at by Gu Litong. If Mr. Zhou knows it, he will roll his eyes in anger!"

"Shut up!" Zhou Yuting yelled angrily, "Don't mention my father!"

He hated others to say that he owed his success to Lao Tzu, and Chu Li's words were like knives, stabbing him in the heart.

"Brother Zhou," Chu Li looked at him in surprise, "If there is no Mr. Zhou, what are you? Do you think you earned everything yourself?"

"The surname is Chu!" Zhou Yuting stood up abruptly, and slammed the table: "You fucking court death!"

Chu Li sat up straight, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, leisurely: "Brother Zhou, it's just a sentence or two of the truth, compared to Brother Zhou's slander just now, it's nothing worth mentioning!"

"Chu, wait!" Zhou Yuting gritted his teeth, turned and left.

Gu Litong hurriedly got up and followed him out, fearing that Zhou Yuting would do something stupid, Chu Li really couldn't touch him now, if something happened, the Duke's Mansion would never let it go.

"Haha..." Li Yue laughed twice, dripping with joy.

Chu Li smiled, and finally he had some confidence. If he wanted to take advantage of the power of the Duke's Mansion, he had to have a considerable status and contribution in the mansion. As a handyman, he had no place to reason when he was bullied.

——

The two drank to their heart's content, had a full meal, then went downstairs, walked around the city, and came to a tall building.

The lights are brilliant, like a palace in the sky, and the sound of silk and bamboo seems to come from the clouds.

"This is the Yaoyue Tower, let's go in and see it." Li Yue kindly invited Chu Li to go in and have a look, to broaden his horizons.

Chu Li waved his hands and shook his head. He has not yet completed martial arts, so it is not suitable for him to break his body.

"Alas..." Li Yue shook his head and sighed, as if Chu Li missed the eternal regret.

The two walked back and came to the south gate of the Duke's Mansion.

A string of lanterns illuminated the front of the door as bright as day, and on the vermilion door, palm-sized copper nails gleamed, and the stone lions lying on both sides were ferocious and menacing, as if they were about to pounce on them.

Standing in front of the stone lion on the left are Gu Litong and Zhou Yuting, waving at Chuli and Li Yue.

Li Yue snorted: "These two guys, what kind of tricks are you trying to play!"

Chu Li approached, smiled and clasped his fists: "Brother Gu, Brother Zhou, what else can I teach you?"

Gu Litong looked at Chu Li's smiling face, and secretly sighed that the city was deep and insidious, and he was a formidable enemy.

Zhou Yuting gritted his teeth and cursed: Hypocrisy, damn it!

"Ahem." Gu Litong cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Brother Chu, to be honest, I'm still a little unconvinced. I think you may be lucky, and I want to have a serious discussion with you."

"Brother Gu, what do you want to learn from?"

"Brother Yunyao Caochu, have you heard of it?"

"Light body and detoxification, can improve lightness kung fu, very rare spirit grass, is it seventh grade?"

"Exactly, Yunyao grass is rare to see. I have some seeds of Yunyao grass here. Brother Chu can try to see it in various ways."

"Brother Gu planted?"

"It's a fluke." Gu Litong nodded proudly. The eighth-rank guards planted the seventh-rank spiritual grass, and it was such a rare spiritual grass. He was a well-deserved genius.

Zhou Yuting handed a bag of seeds to Chu Li: "Take it, these seeds are very precious!"

Chu Li waved his hand and didn't answer, and said with a smile: "Brother Gu has a good plan,...how about this, since the competition is over, let Baicaoyuan come up with the question!"

Even if he planted these seeds alive, he was on par with Gu Litong, and if he couldn't plant them alive, he would be inferior to him.

Even if he had the Sutra of Kurong, he wouldn't take it too seriously, of course he wouldn't accept it.

Zhou Yuting snorted, "Are you afraid of losing?"

Chu Li looked at Gu Litong: "Since you want to compare, let's have a good one, don't use these crooked ways."

"...Okay, that's it!" Gu Litong snorted.

This Chu Li is very insidious, he can't calculate, so he wins with dignity.

Chu Li said: "Then it's settled."

He entered the mansion with Li Yue, and took a boat back to East Garden.

Li Yue shook his hand, angrily: "This Gu Litong is such a villain!"

Chu Li nodded.

Gu Litong is narrow-minded, can't tolerate others, and likes to use tricks outside the box. This kind of person should be severely punished until he dare not resist.

From the psychological point of view and the flower and plant skills he is proud of, he attacked in all aspects and destroyed his courage to be an enemy.

Chu Li returns to the Moonlight Orchid Garden, the dream flower is the most important, and the competition with Gu Litong is just a pastime, to change his mind.

The next day was calm, and in the early morning of the third day, Chu Li was practicing the small pulse-washing art while touching the Dreaming Flower.

Chu Li is confident that he will succeed in building the foundation within three months.

There was the sound of light footsteps, Chu Li saw through the big round mirror that it was Suru coming, wearing an apricot-yellow blouse fluttering.

Chu Li stood up and cupped his fists: "Boss Su."

Suru waved her jade hand lightly: "No, did you make a bet with Gu Litong?"

Chu Li nodded: "There is no way, he is aggressive, and he underestimated Dong Huayuan by not responding to the challenge."

"That's true, we can't weaken the momentum of our East Garden." Suru frowned and said, "But your mind should be on Tan Menghua!"

Chu Li pointed: "Tanmenghua is growing well."

"Huh, is this the Night Dream Flower?" Suru's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she said in surprise, "Isn't it, it grows so fast?"

"Splendid and ephemeral like fireworks."

It was originally born in the Jedi, where there are few people. It breaks the ground within a month, blooms, bears fruit, and then decays with the branches and leaves into mud without leaving any traces, just like a short-lived dream.

If you are lucky, you can find the seeds, but this kind of luck is rare, so the flower of night dream is extremely precious.

What's more, the dream flower blooms at night, and it only blooms for one night. Even if you have seen it, you think it does not bloom and only bears fruit.

"Can you really make it bloom?" Suru asked hastily.

Chu Li nodded.

"...Then I will wait and see!"

"The manager wants to remind me of the picking time?"

"It seems that you really know."

"I'll be careful not to miss the flowering period."

"If you can pick the Night Dream Flower, you have made a great contribution, and the lady will reward you a lot!"

"I will do my best!"

"You can't do your best, you have to be foolproof!"

"...Yes." Chu Li nodded slowly.

Suru looked away from the dream flower: "There is a lot of competition in Baicaoyuan, and I can't decide what kind of flowers you want to plant."

"This can't help Baicaoyuan, right?"

"Isn't the fight too fierce?" Suru shook her head and said, "Miss is a little impatient, let me deal with this matter quickly."

Chu Li smiled: "What's the manager's decision?"

"Immortal beard." Suru said, "It's the best horse feed, it has been lost, there are still a batch of seeds in the manor."

"Immortal beard..." Chu Li searched in his mind.

A kind of strange grass, some tasteless, has no medicinal effect on people, but it is a wonderful thing on horses, it can improve the horse's physique.

The survival rate of fairy beards is low, and only a small piece can grow when the time and place are right. People haven't figured out their habits so far. Some say they need fresh blood to irrigate, some say they need drastic changes in temperature, and some say they need the excrement of wild horse kings. , of all kinds, so far no conclusion has been reached.

"Chu Li, can you make a living?"

"How many grades of spiritual grass?"

"It is estimated that there are about six grades."

"You can try."

"Okay, then it's settled!" Suru patted the jade palm: "Okay, that's the matter, let's go!"

She waved her hand and left, seemingly slowly, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Chu Li secretly sighed, her lightness kung fu is so wonderful, it is really enviable!
