Chu Li and Li Yue stepped into Qicao Pavilion.
A street away from Qicaoxuan is Chongming City Central Street, which is bustling and bustling with traffic, but this place is quiet and cold, just like two worlds.
The front door of Qicaoxuan is old and dilapidated. Some antique shops and jewelry shops around it are of similar style and seem to be closing down.
But Chu Li will not underestimate this place. It has not been open for three years, and it has only been open for three years.
Lifting the door curtain and going in, you suddenly see a vast space in front of you. The bright and spacious hall has a refreshing fragrance, and pots of exotic flowers and herbs are placed on the ancient shelves.
There is an Eight Immortals table in the center, and an old man with white eyebrows is drinking tea leisurely.
Seeing the two people coming in, he stood up with a smile and clasped his fists: "You two guys, just take a look."
The eyes of Chu Li and Li Yue were immediately attracted by the Moonlight Orchid. The green leaves were curved and warm and shiny, as if they were carved from jasper, and they were too beautiful to be alive.
The old man came over and said with a smile: "You two young brothers like Moonlight Orchid?"
Li Yue snorted: "Nonsense, who doesn't like it!"
"Shopkeeper, how long can this moonlight orchid live?"
"It just arrived here not long ago," the old man raised two fingers: "At least two months!"
"Ten days!" Chu Li smiled.
Li Yue patted his waist and hummed: "Shopkeeper, keep your eyes open!"
"Haha, are you a man from the Duke's Mansion?" The old man's face changed, he clasped his fists and smiled: "Disrespectful, disrespectful... The little old man didn't dare to lie. It was indeed ten days, but this year only this one left the island. One plant will be planted next year. There are old people above me and young ones below. We have to support our family, and we can’t sell them cheaply even if we kill them!”
Li Yue waved his hand: "Stop crying and pretending to be poor, we don't do this!"
There is no treacherous businessman, no poor person can open a shop here, and there is no rich net worth.
Chu Li touched Yueguang Lan carelessly: "Make a bid!"
The essence of Moonlight Orchid surges in instantly and runs the Small Pulse Cleansing Technique for a week.
He exhaled, suppressing the ecstasy, the extremely pure spiritual energy! One year, just one year to build the foundation!
Just as the old man opened his mouth to speak, footsteps sounded. A young man entered the room, lifted the door curtain with both hands, and bowed respectfully. A voice came from outside the door.
"Junior sister Zhao, please!"
"Senior Brother Zhuo should invite me first!"
A handsome young man strode into the room, with a face like a crown of jade, sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, with a long sword hanging on his waist. He looked around proudly with high spirits. He was none other than Zhuo Feiyang.
Behind him was a beautiful girl with snow-like skin and charming face. It was Zhao Ying.
Chu Li and Zhuo Feiyang looked at each other, and both of them frowned.
Chu Li felt uncomfortable, why did Zhao Ying get together with Zhuo Feiyang again!
It seemed that Zhuo Feiyang's offensive was very fierce. Da Yuan Jingzhi activated it and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhao Ying was not tempted and was still hesitating.
Zhuo Feiyang snorted coldly: "Why are you here?"
Chu Li sneered: "This is interesting, why can't I be here?"
Zhuo Feiyang snorted: "A no-good handyman who can't afford a piece of grass and comes here just to satisfy his cravings. It's so pathetic!"
"Master Zhuo is very lenient!"
Li Yue secretly thought that something was wrong, the genius was so powerful, it would be hard to reconcile the two of them if they really clashed.
He hurriedly clasped his fists and laughed loudly: "Haha, Brother Zhuo, Miss Zhao, I am Li Yue of Donghuayuan!"
Zhuo Feiyang gave him a cold look and said nothing.
Zhao Ying, who was wearing a lake green Luo shirt, smiled and returned the greeting: "Senior Brother Li."
Zhuo Feiyang looked down condescendingly: "You surnamed Chu, get out of here, a good dog won't block the way!"
"Zhuo Feiyang, when others call you a genius, do you take it seriously?"
"Of course I am a genius!" Zhuo Feiyang held his head high and said: "No matter how smart you are, what's the use? You're still just a person who has no foundation?"
"Sigh... No matter how strong your martial arts is, if you have no brains, you are still a fool!" Chu Li shook his head.
Zhuo Feiyang gritted his teeth and squinted at him with disdain: "In this world, martial arts is everything!... Mr. Chu, I am currently at the eighth rank, and I will reach the seventh rank this year. What about you, a rank-free servant? Thinking of the eighth rank, You have to endure it for twenty years and you still can’t make a mistake. How can you, with your bad character, not get into trouble?”
"With your brain, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, it can only be used to guard homes and homes. It's not of much use!"
Zhuo Feiyang hummed: "It's even more useful than you if it's not useful enough!"
"Senior Brother Zhuo, Senior Brother Chu!" Zhao Ying stamped her feet and yelled.
Zhuo Feiyang immediately changed his expression and said with a gentle smile: "Junior sister Zhao, how do you like this moonlight orchid?"
"It's very beautiful, but too expensive." Zhao Ying shook her head lightly and reluctantly took her eyes back from the Moonlight Orchid.
Zhuo Feiyang glanced at Yueguanglan and said with a smile: "Junior Sister Zhao, let's go somewhere else. It's too unlucky to be with him, let's go!"
"Senior Brother Chu..." Zhao Ying smiled apologetically, and Chu Li waved his hand to indicate it was okay, looked at them gloomily and left.
"Huh..." Li Yue took a long breath and looked at Chu Li helplessly: "Brother, you..."
Zhuo Feiyang is a talented person, and he will definitely be a big shot in the future. It is best not to mess with him if you can, as there will be endless troubles.
Chu Li waved his hand: "Shopkeeper, please bid."
The old man chuckled and said, "Chenghui, two hundred taels!"
"What a profiteer!" Li Yue shook his head and took out the banknotes from his arms.
"Wait a minute!" The door curtain opened, and a young man came in. The guard who was standing behind Zhuo Feiyang just now was thin, slender, and handsome.
Bai Zhijie, a ninth-grade bodyguard, always smiles when he meets everyone.
But now he stood in front of the old man with a cold face: "I will pay three hundred taels!"
Li Yue's eyes widened and he shouted: "Xiao Bai?!"
This guy usually smiled at me and called him Brother Li, but now he suddenly changed his face and looked like a different person!
"Shopkeeper, how are you?" Bai Zhijie didn't even look at Li Yue, staring at the old man coldly.
The old man hesitated: "This..."
He looked at Chu Li and then at Bai Zhijie. The men in the Duke's Mansion were not easy to deal with, but with huge profits in front of him, he couldn't help but be tempted.
He turned to Chu Li and smiled apologetically.
Chu Li said: "Five hundred taels!"
"Six hundred taels!"
"Seven hundred!"
"Eight hundred!"
"one thousand!"
"One thousand and one!" Bai Zhijie looked at Chu Li coldly: "Brother Chu, I advise you to think carefully about whether you want to go against Mr. Zhuo!"
Chu Li stared at Bai Zhijie and suddenly smiled: "Ten thousand taels!"
Bai Zhijie stared at Chu Li: "Brother Chu, are you going to walk all the way to the dark side?"
Chu Li smiled.
Bai Zhijie hesitated for a long time, and finally stamped his foot: "10,000!"
Chu Li cupped his fists and laughed: "I admire you, you won!"
He turned around and left. Li Yue glared at Bai Zhijie fiercely and hurriedly followed him.
On Central Street, among the lively crowd, Chu Li's chest was filled with anger, and he didn't feel the slightest pleasure in cheating Zhuo Feiyang.
There will be a second Moonlight Orchid in a year. In one year, Gu Litong will be able to successfully cultivate it, and Zhuo Feiyang will be promoted to the seventh rank of guard. There is no hope of his promotion, and there is no hope of foundation building. The most frightening thing is that Zhao Yingfang's heart may also belong to her. Zhuo Feiyang!
Li Yue saw his gloomy face and reluctantly advised: "Brother, be more open-minded. Zhuo Feiyang is rich and powerful, so he really can't beat him."
Chu Li frowned and said nothing. He didn't want to play anymore and went back home directly.
The next morning, Chu Li was practicing in the green mulberry garden. Li Yue ran over: "Brother, something bad is going on, something is going wrong!"
Chu Li frowned and looked at him.
Li Yue ran over and shouted: "Zhuo Feiyang is so unreasonable!"
"Say it quickly!" Chu Li said angrily.
Li Yue said bitterly: "Zhuo Feiyang wants to change his guards!"
Chu Li's face darkened: "You want me?"
Li Yue nodded and punched the ground: "It's too much to bully others!"
Chu Li's face was gloomy and his anger surged.
The first level of rank is overwhelming. The wages of bodyguards and bodyguards are different, but their status is similar. An eighth-grade guard can be matched with a ninth-grade guard, and similarly, an eighth-grade guard can be matched with a ninth-grade guard.
Zhuo Feiyang wanted someone from Baicao Yuan, but Baicao Yuan would not offend this genius because of himself.
Moreover, the bodyguards of the bodyguards are also good jobs. The bodyguards are out on missions for ten months a year. The bodyguards have no other jobs in the house and are leisurely and comfortable. When the bodyguards go on missions, they get generous bonuses and extra money. Enough for the guards to eat and drink spicy food.
If you refuse, others will see you as being disrespectful.
He is so outstanding and has made great progress. This move is so cruel and mean!
"What should I do?" Li Yue asked anxiously.
Without Chu Li, I wouldn't be able to sleep well again. The flowers and plants in the East Garden are too delicate and could cause problems at every turn.
Chu Li snorted: "I can only use the last move!"
"Say it quickly!" Li Yue asked hurriedly.
Chu Li said: "I'll write a challenge note. Brother Li, please send it to me."
"You want to challenge Zhuo Feiyang?" Li Yue hesitated: "Brother, is it too risky?"
Chu Li's swordsmanship is strong, but Zhuo Feiyang is not himself, so he may not be able to win.
Chu Li smiled: "Let's try it."
"Oh... you are so courageous..." Li Yue shook his head helplessly. Chu Li didn't care about anything and would dare to do anything.
Chu Li returned to the courtyard and wrote two posts, a challenge post for Zhuo Feiyang and an invitation post for Zhao Ying.
Li Yue asked in confusion: "Why did you invite Miss Zhao here?"
"If I don't invite Junior Sister Zhao, Zhuo Feiyang will cheat!"
"That's not true, is it?"
"This guy is not as upright as you think, he is very mean!"
"...Okay." Li Yue agreed dubiously.
