At the beginning of the lanterns, bursts of laughter could be heard in the Xianyun Tavern, which was almost full.
The girls are like butterflies in flowers, flying between the wine tables.
Zhuo Feiyang was dressed in a sapphire blue gown, with a face like a crown of jade, and a long sword hanging from his waist. He looked like a handsome young master, and slowly entered the tavern with Bai Zhijie.
Two beautiful girls came forward and Zhuo Feiyang waved his hand: "Find us a seat."
"You two gentlemen, I'm so sorry. There are no seats outside. There are only private rooms."
"No seat?"
"I'm sorry, gentlemen,... our tavern has reservation rules. You can call in advance and we will reserve a seat."
"I have to eat here today, move a seat for me!"
"Sir, everyone who enters the tavern is a distinguished guest. I'm really sorry..."
"Pah!" Zhuo Feiyang suddenly waved his hand and gave the girl a clear slap in the face.
The beautiful girl covered her face and looked at Zhuo Feiyang in surprise.
Because there was the Duke's Mansion behind her, no one had ever dared to come here to make trouble, no one quarreled, let alone hit anyone, and she never expected that this handsome young man would dare to do this.
"Is it possible this time?" Zhuo Feiyang sneered.
Many people looked over and stared at Zhuo Feiyang with frowns. No one complained. They all wanted to watch a good show and dared to come here to cause trouble. Do they think the Duke's Mansion is a vegetarian? There's something good to watch!
"Senior Brother Zhuo! What are you going to do!" Zhao Ying glared at him angrily.
Her eyes were clear and cold. She didn't expect Zhuo Feiyang to be so evil and dare to take action. This was a taboo. He was really crazy!
Zhuo Feiyang said coldly: "Junior sister Zhao, you are here again!"
"Why do you hit someone?!" Zhao Yingdai frowned and scolded with dissatisfaction: "They don't know martial arts, but you can do it!"
"I don't care if they know martial arts, I just know that they are people named Chu!"
"Unreasonable!" Zhao Ying pointed at him and said angrily: "You and Senior Brother Chu are just in a hurry, why do you want to hurt others?"
Zhuo Feiyang snorted: "He is just a coward, I can only do this!"
"Senior Brother Zhuo, Senior Brother Chu doesn't accept the challenge because he doesn't want to hurt you. Do you think you can really defeat Master Chu 9999, m.↑.c⌒omstyle_tt(); Brother?!" Zhao Ying sneered.
Zhuo Feiyang sneered repeatedly: "Junior Sister Zhao seems to be very optimistic about him!"
"Senior Brother Zhuo, there are so many important things to do outside, and there are countless evil people in the world, why do you only focus on one grudge or another?" Zhao Ying sighed helplessly: "A man should think about how to make contributions, instead of You are entangled in personal grudges all day long, Senior Brother Zhuo, please relax your mind!"
Zhuo Feiyang heard this harshly and sneered: "What nonsense is it to achieve great achievements? I just want to be happy and grudge!"
"Alas..." Zhao Ying shook her head, completely disappointed.
"Let the person named Chu come to me and accept the invitation!" Zhuo Feiyang turned around and left.
Zhao Ying glared at him and came to the woman: "Sister Chen, is it okay?"
She is Chen Yin, with a beautiful round face, delicate skin, exquisite facial features, elegant and smart in everything she does, so she does the job of welcoming guests.
Chen Yin touched her face and smiled nonchalantly: "It's just a slap, it's no big deal. Sister Zhao, don't follow the master!"
Zhao Ying said hurriedly: "Of course I have to tell Senior Brother Chu!"
Chen Yin shook her head and sighed: "Don't!... This is nothing, it's just a slap in the face, not worth mentioning. If I get into a fight with the young master again, if something goes wrong, I will never redeem myself!"
Zhao Ying frowned and looked at her.
Chen Yin smiled: "It really doesn't matter to me."
Zhao Ying hesitated and said something, and wanted to think about it carefully.
But she was completely disappointed with Zhuo Feiyang. She didn't expect that he was such a person and would actually beat a woman who didn't know martial arts!

When Chu Li returned to the East Garden, it was already evening.
He had practiced the Vajra Due Magic Skill for a day, and his muscles were sore. The feeling of being hit by an iron rod on his body was not that pleasant. Recently, a Pearl Beauty tree in the East Garden was sick and needed to be taken care of. If he did not come back, Li Yue would feel uneasy and unable to eat. Not good at sleeping.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the lake, a gust of wind blows, and the lake's surface glows with red light.
He left the ship and landed. As soon as he entered the hospital, he saw Zhao Ying. She was sitting at the stone table with Li Yue to discuss something. When she saw him coming in, she immediately shut up.
Chu Li smiled and said, "Why, are you talking bad about me?"
"Senior brother, why haven't you been to the tavern recently?" Zhao Ying was wearing a lake green shirt, which made her face fair, delicate and charming.
Chu Li smiled and said, "As long as you are here, junior sister, I can rest assured when you do things!"
Zhao Ying felt ashamed and sighed.
Li Yue said: "Brother, Zhuo Feiyang is determined not to give up and has sent me another battle invitation. This time I have added a bet of one hundred thousand taels!"
He handed him a red challenge post.
"One hundred thousand taels?" Chu Li raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "He must fight this battle, and he has thrown out such a big bait!"
"Do you want to accept the challenge?" Li Yue said hurriedly: "One hundred thousand taels, he must be very sure!"
Chu Li smiled.
Zhao Ying sighed: "Brother, you are not short of money!"
Chu Li smiled and said: "Who is it that I am not short of money? Of course, the more money, the better!"
"Your beautiful maids are all here. Whatever you need, you have everything you need!" Zhao Ying rolled her eyes at him angrily.
She has never seen Chu Li's maid, but she has heard people talk about her. She is so beautiful and stunning that no one can refuse her. They are all envious and jealous. If she could get such a maid, she would be willing to shorten her life by twenty years!
Chu Li pretended not to hear and refused to answer the question: "It seems that Zhuo Feiyang has prepared a trump card. Well, okay, I will accept this challenge. Zhuo Feiyang has become smarter. Why did he use those tricks? He just threw this bait here. , of course I will accept it!”
"Senior brother!" Zhao Ying's eyes widened.
Chu Li smiled and said: "Junior sister, martial arts training is the most expensive. Think about it, how much does a Yuan-Pui Yuan Dan cost?"
"It's just ten taels of silver."
"That's in our house. What if we go out to buy it?"
"Get twenty taels."
"In addition to Peiyuan Pill, there are also Qi Pills and Purple Qi Pills. In short, as a guard, pills are indispensable!"
"That doesn't even cost a hundred thousand taels!"
Chu Li shook his head: "You... you will know when you go out to enter the martial arts world. How much does a good sword cost?"
"One hundred taels?"
"This is just an ordinary good sword. If it is better, it will cost one thousand taels. If it is a famous sword, it will cost ten thousand taels or even more!"
"There's no need for such a good sword, right?"
Chu Li smiled: "You should know the importance of a good sword. It can determine life and death. Isn't one life worth ten thousand taels?"
Zhao Ying hesitated and said nothing.
As a sword practitioner, she certainly knows the importance of a good sword.
Chu Li said: "So, I accept this challenge, but I have to go to the Martial Arts Hall to compete!"
"Alas..." Zhao Ying sighed.
"Besides, if he dares to go to Xianyun Tavern and beat someone up, how could I not teach him a lesson!" Chu Li snorted.
Zhao Ying rolled her eyes at him angrily: "This is the key!"
Chu Li shook his head and said: "Zhuo Feiyang is crazy now. If I don't compete with him, I don't know what stupid things he will do. Sooner or later, we will have to solve it!"
—
In the martial arts training ground in front of the martial arts hall, people gathered in a circle and were quiet.
There were two people standing in the field, Zhuo Feiyang and Chu Li.
Zhuo Feiyang, the top young master, wants to challenge the guard Chu Li. Chu Li is already a sixth-grade guard at a young age and is a top figure among the guards. It is more difficult to be promoted to a sixth-grade guard at such a young age than to be a bodyguard.
Bai Zhijie, Zhao Ying and Li Yue all stood in the crowd, staring closely at the two.
At nine in the morning, the sun was shining brightly, everything around was clear and bright, and the lake breeze blew gently through the crowd and touched their faces.
Chu Li felt the lake breeze blowing on his face and smiled. The willow trees on the entire island came into his mind. The spiritual energy was surging, ready for him to drive at any time.
"Does this Chu guard know martial arts?"
"Nonsense, if you don't know how, what is Zhuo Feiyang's challenge?"
"It doesn't look like it."
"Well, no, it really doesn't look like an ordinary person. His eyes are dull and his hands and feet are weak. Is there any personal grudge between the two of them? Is Zhuo Feiyang challenging him just to vent his anger?"
"Then why did Guard Chu accept the challenge? Aren't you looking for death?"
"Maybe I was forced to have no choice?"
"I heard that Guard Chu opened a tavern outside, called Xianyun Tavern, and the business is very good. Zhuo Feiyang went to make trouble and even beat people. Isn't that intolerable?"
"Zhuo Feiyang has gone too far."
"Who is not? But no one dares to care. Zhuo Feiyang is too popular right now."
"Sigh... I have seen through this world. Whoever has the bigger fist has to decide, so let's practice hard!"
"Yes, you have to practice hard to speak loudly. If you are not strong in martial arts, you should just be honest!"
People talked a lot and sympathized with Chu Li.
The sixth-grade bodyguards are considered to be mid-level and high-level, and they have certain powers in the Duke's Mansion. However, when faced with challenges, in the final analysis, it is still about who is stronger in martial arts. In this world, martial arts is the best.
This incident made them determined to protect themselves and desperately pursue the power of martial arts.
Chu Li coughed lightly and looked at Zhuo Feiyang, whose eyes were wide open and seemed to tear him apart: "Zhuo Feiyang, do you really want to pay one hundred thousand taels of silver? Your family is rich, but you don't have a hundred thousand taels!"
"It's too late for you to regret it!" Zhuo Feiyang sneered.
Chu Li shook his head: "I'm afraid you will regret it!"
"Chu, don't show off your rhetoric, you will cry later!"
"I hope you don't cry when you lose!"
"Huh!" Zhuo Feiyang turned his head, pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, closed his eyes, and didn't look at him.
Chu Li smiled, feeling the beauty of nature and connecting with the surrounding flowers and plants. Hey, there is also Tongjin grass here, growing in a clump of weeds outside the martial arts training ground.
There is also red dragon fruit, which is also a wonderful medicine. It can be eaten with earth dragon grass. It has the effect of strengthening muscles and bones. Unfortunately, the effect is not that strong. It is very useful for ordinary people, but has little effect on martial arts practitioners.
The crowd suddenly made way for them, and they all clasped their fists in salute, and two white-haired old men walked over slowly.
One is tall and fat, the other is short and thin, forming a sharp contrast.
The tall, fat old man was smiling, while the short, thin old man had a straight face, as cold as ice, and his eyes swept over everyone, as if they were being cut by a knife.
They are the enshrined elders of the Yanwu Hall. This time they are asked to testify. This is a formal challenge. The last challenge between Chu Li and Zhuo Feiyang was not formal enough, so Zhuo Feiyang dared not admit it.
Chu Li clasped his fists: "Senior Chu, Senior He, thank you for your work!"
The tall, fat old man chuckled and said, "Watching the excitement is my favorite!"
The short and thin old man said in a deep voice: "Where are the banknotes?"
Zhuo Feiyang took out the silver note from his arms and presented it. The tall, fat old man took it, counted it, and said with a smile: "Just right, one hundred thousand taels of silver, the dragon ticket of Taihe Silver Village, okay, you can start!"
