As soon as Chu Li set foot on Yuqi Island, Suru hurriedly greeted him and waved from afar.
Chu Li smiled, clasped his fists, and followed her to the third floor of the Star Observation Building.
Xiao Qi's white clothes were fluttering, and the sword light was as bright as water.
Seeing him come in, Xiao Qi sheathed her sword, and all the sword energy was gathered into the scabbard, leaving no trace behind.
Chu Li admired that her swordsmanship was getting better and better, she could retract and release it freely. When she moved, she would hit the sky and cover the earth, but when she was still, she would fall into nothingness.
Xiao Qi handed the sword to Suru, Su pointed it out, and they sat face to face on the embroidered pier.
"How about it, second sister, do you agree?"
"yes."
"You still have a way!" Xiao Qi said calmly: "No matter how big brother and I try to persuade him, it's useless... In this way, I can rest assured!"
Chu Li said: "When will the envoy from Prince An's Mansion come over?"
"Logically speaking, we can arrive at noon tomorrow." Xiao Qi said: "You can follow me to choose the island first."
Chu Li nodded.
Xiao Qi said: "There are still twenty islands in the mansion. You can choose any one among them, some are big or small, some are far or some are near, but the one that is too far away will be ignored."
"Okay." Chu Li responded.
Xiao Qi took the tea cup offered by Suru and smiled: "How did you convince the second sister?"
Chu Li smiled and said nothing.
Xiao Qi glanced at him: "Okay, just don't ask... Also, I collected some information about Prince An's Mansion and asked Xiaoru to send it to Tianlingyuan for you. Take a look and you will know what's going on."
Chu Li took the tea cup from Suru and took a sip.
Xiao Qi said: "Then let's go choose an island!"
She put down the tea cup, Chu Li also put it down, and they left the Star Observation Tower together.
The three of them were about to board the ship. Chu Li said: "By the way, take Xueling over and have a look."
"You are very attentive." Suru pursed her lips and smiled: "Xueling is not in the courtyard. He probably went to the martial arts hall."
Chu Li nodded and the three of them got on the boat. Go east.
After sailing thirty miles, they landed on a small island.
The three of them went up to take a look. No one was cleaning up the island. It was desolate and messy, with dense trees and weeds. It had no beauty, but it looked full of life on the outside.
〖〖，
Chu Li glanced at it and shook his head to reject it. This island is as big as it is big. He didn't like it.
Next, they looked at a dozen islands, from far away to near, and the last one was only three miles away from Yuqi Island and located in the northeast of Yuqi Island.
Xiao Qi pointed at the small island on the bow of the boat: "I originally planned to keep this island, but then my eldest brother said it wasn't big enough or impressive enough, so I chose that side. Go up and see if you like it."
Chu Li landed on the island. The Great Round Mirror Wisdom is activated.
This is a round island, only half the size of Yuqi Island. The island is densely green and lush with trees. Far better than the rest of the islands.
Spiritual energy poured in from all directions, and he felt the purity of the spiritual energy. The spiritual energy of several giant trees was particularly pure. Obviously it has a long history and is not an ordinary product.
This island is more alive than anywhere else. The underground is also filled with spiritual energy.
Chu Li nodded with satisfaction: "This is it!"
"Here..." Xiao Qi looked at him: "Isn't it too small?"
This island is the second largest in East Garden, and it is too close to Yuqi Island. It was inevitable that I would feel uncomfortable, so no one was chosen.
Chu Li said: "It's useless if it's too big."
"It's bigger and more spacious." Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li shook his head and said: "How much space can I occupy if I live by myself?"
Xiao Qi said: "You live by yourself now, but in the future, your women, children, and even grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren will all live here. When the time comes, it won't be enough, and you will regret it."
"That's right." Suru pursed her lips and smiled, "This island will be yours for generations to come."
Chu Li smiled: "Times have changed, let's talk about it when the time comes, I will choose this place!"
"Xiao Ru, you can arrange the rest." Xiao Qi turned around and said, "Don't let Chu Li worry about this."
"Yes, I will find someone to come over and clean it up, and then find someone to build it." Suru said, "I think we can live in it in half a year."
Chu Li said: "The manager still wants to go to Xue Yuexuan, I will do it myself."
"I will take Xueling with me and teach her, and let her take over after I leave." Suru smiled and said, "In the future, Xueling will be responsible for these trivial matters."
Chu Li nodded.
—
The next evening, the setting sun illuminated the courtyard red.
Chu Li sat in the small pavilion and practiced the White Tiger Refining Yang Diagram, feeling satisfied.
When the lanterns first came on, he ordered Xue Ling to go to the Star Observation Tower and ask if the messenger from Prince An's Palace had arrived. He had a vague premonition of something ominous.
After Xueling left the small courtyard, Chu Li stood up and left the small pavilion, stood in front of the Tianling Tree, and looked up at the dim sky.
Xueling returned quickly, opened the door and came in with a serious expression: "Sir, the envoy from Prince An's Mansion is missing!"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Xueling said: "The guards we sent to lead the way also disappeared."
"Where did you disappear?"
"Outside Asuka City."
Chu Li thought for a while, Feiniao City was only fifty miles away from here.
"The lady has already gone to Iron Eagle Island, sir, do you want to go and have a look?" Xueling said.
Chu Li shook his head.
"Master, you won't go?"
"It's useless to go now." Chu Li said: "The eldest son is more experienced in handling these matters. Let's wait for the news!"
Xueling snorted: "Young master, you are really able to keep your temper!"

Xiao Tieying was sitting steadily in the hall, holding a book in his hand and chatting with Xiao Qi.
His current appearance was completely different from that of the previous one. He looked like a different person, calm and composed, chatting and laughing without any trace of worry.
When it came to Xiao Shi, he was restless and confused.
The disappearance of Prince An's envoy was a big deal, but he was able to handle it with ease.
"Chu Li chose the island closest to Yuqi Island?" Xiao Tieying said with a smile: "He is not greedy!"
Xiao Qi put down the tea cup and said calmly: "I don't think he is too worried about it."
Xiao Tieying chuckled and said: "It seems that he is not very utilitarian."
"After all, I have been influenced by Buddhism since childhood." Xiao Qi said.
"Let Xiaoru not worry about the cost and get the best." Xiao Tieying said: "We owe Chuli a lot and we have to make up for it."
Xiao Qi nodded lightly.
Xiao Tieying put down the book and took a sip of tea: "Little sister, this time it is probably the Duke Renguo who caused trouble."
"It could also be Duke Huai's Mansion." Xiao Qi said, "I have been guarding outside the city for several days and found nothing. I must have become angry from shame."
Xiao Tieying said: "Do they dare to kill?"
Xiao Qi frowned and said in deep thought: "The Duke of Huaiguo doesn't dare to do it. After all, the Duke of Renguo has just submitted a confession. It's hard for the Duke of Ren to tell. Lu Yurong is ruthless and can do it!"
"They killed the envoy from Prince An, and we ruined their wedding." Xiao Tieying said with a smile: "Let Chu leave, and it will definitely turn the world upside down!"
Xiao Qi shook his head and smiled: "Brother, you can still laugh."
"What's the use of having a sad face?" Xiao Tieying said with a smile: "I can rest assured that Mr. Zhao and the others will do what they do."
He has sent Zhao Qingshan and four masters from Tianwaitian to rescue him. The ears and eyes of Duke Yi's Mansion are all over Feiniao City, and they will surely find the envoy from Prince An's Mansion.
Xiao Qi said: "Second sister finally agreed, it's Chu Li's words that will work."
"No matter what, she is still a lifesaver," Xiao Tieying said with a smile: "Her momentum was a little weaker first, hey, they are back!"
A report came from outside: "Sir, Zhao Gongfeng wants to see you!"
"Mr. Zhao, please come in!" Xiao Tieying said loudly.
Zhao Qingshan and the other two entered the hall with gloomy expressions.
Xiao Tieying stood up to greet him: "Where is the person?"
"Sir, we are a step too late and have been killed!" Zhao Qingshan sighed: "Our guards are safe and sound!"
Xiao Tieying snorted: "Vicious enough!"
He turned to Xiao Qi and said: "It seems to be the Renguo Duke's Mansion!" (To be continued.) uw
