Chu Li suddenly appeared behind Grand Secretary Kang and punched the two people in black clothing away. After that, a cold glint flashed from his waist and with a silver stroke, Chu Li cut their heads off and a pillar of blood spurted out like spring water.

Chu Li continued to swing his long sword and two more heads accompanied by a pillar of blood were sent flying.

The remaining two people in black clothing were finally killed by the Grandmaster, he directly smashed their heads.

The whole house was filled with the smell of blood.

Grand Secretary Kang frowned, covered his nose and turned pale.

Grand Secretary Kang had a firm and unyielding character. In the face of great difficulty, he could remain calm, but he could not stand such a gory scene and the urge to vomit surged up his chest.

Chu Li gave a fist salute and smiled. Secretary must be startled!

Thank you, warrior. I wonder where did a hero like you come from? Grand Secretary Kang returned the fist salute and asked calmly.

Chu Li said, I am a guard from the Yi Public House. I will take my leave now.

He disappeared in a flash in front of the two people and was back at the small courtyard.

The small courtyard was quiet and the faint sound of the distant commotion could be heard.

Xiao Qi had woken up but she sat on the bed motionlessly. Although Guo Mulin had the cultivation level of an Innate Master, his vigilance was very poor, thus, he was still asleep.

The whole Secretary Residence was set into motion. Protectors came out one after another, searching for any remaining enemies.

Xiao Qi got out of bed, pushed the door and walked into the small courtyard. She saw Chu Li sitting in the pagoda and went to join him.

Grand Secretary Kangs birthday banquet is hard to hold, Xiao Qi whispered. Dont disturb second eldest sister.

Xiao Shis body was weak, she could not sleep well, even a little noise would wake her up. She would not be able to sleep anymore and her health would deteriorate further.

Chu Li said softly, Too many enemies.

They are the kind of people who bully the weak and fear the strong! said Xiao Qi plainly.

Chu Li nodded.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong was human nature. Their enemies were Grand Secretary Kang as well as the Public House. If they dare to go to the public, the Public House would retaliate like the torrential rains and uproot them. Grand Secretary Kang had now retired and thus they dared to be so arrogant, otherwise, they would not have endured for so many years.

The sound of footsteps from outside neared but they soon stopped.

Chu Li disappeared in a flash and appeared in front of a team of Protectors, he gave them a fist salute. These three attempted to do evil, I have already killed them. Please keep it down as my Lady has a weak constitution, she wakes up easily.

Is it Protector Chu Li? The leader of the 12 Protectors was a middle-aged man, he lowered his voice, Master had ordered us to not disturb the Lady, we will leave at once, thank you for your help, Protector Chu Li.

Chu Li gave them a fist salute.

The Protectors picked up the three corpses and left silently.

Chu Li appeared in front of Xiao Qi in a flash and she looked at him.

Chu Li whispered softly, There were three guys who attempted to come here, I feared that they would disturb Ladys sleep thus I killed them.

You Xiao Qi shook her head and said, This is Secretary Residence, do not be reckless.

In the unlikely event that he killed the wrong person, it would be troublesome. After all, this was not their own residence and others may feel that he had intervened and meddled with other peoples affairs and felt unhappy with him.

Chu Li promised with a smile.

The next day after taking their meals, Chu Li and Guo Mulin went out of the residence and walked around Zhao Jing Hai Town, while Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi went to see Grand Secretary Kang.

Although Zhao Jing Hai Town was not big, it was prosperous and bustling. The two ate their lunch before returning to the small courtyard.

Xiao Shi was playing guzheng in the pagoda while Xiao Qi was reading, the bamboo forest was rustling in the wind, giving the small courtyard an elegant atmosphere.

Seeing that the two men had returned, Xiao Shi pressed the strings on the guzheng and smiled at Chu Li. Chu Li, last night you saved Grand Secretary Kang?

Chu Li smiled. Yes, just a little help while Im at it.

Grand Secretary thanked you. Here, these tiger paintings are for you. Xiao Qi pointed to a purple lacquer box on the stone table. Those are all treasures, they are worth a lot.

Tiger paintings? Chu Li was overjoyed, he hurriedly opened the box. There was a total of six paintings.

He unfolded them one by one, each tiger painting had their own uniqueness. Looking grandeur and majestic, all of them were fine works of art.

Chu Li finally realized and understood.

When the artists in this world painted a tiger, it was often through their imagination, putting their impressions of the most vicious existence onto the tiger painting. It was their fiercest spirit.

Chu Li benefited a lot from these paintings.

Seeing that Chu Li could not stop grinning, Guo Mulin looked over Chu Lis shoulder and eyed the paintings, he did not think that there was anything great about the paintings. He shook his head and said, Instead of looking at this, you might as well take a look at a painting of meridians, what is there to see for a Spirit Tiger.

Chu Li laughed. Look at how mighty and grandeur it is!

Guo Mulin did not think so but he smiled anyway and said, Grand Secretary Kang just gave this away? Isnt he too stingy?

What does Sir Guo Mulin want? Xiao Shi smiled.

As a Grand Secretary, he must have some valuable ancient codex? Guo Mulin said, Thats what you call a true treasure!

Sir Guo Mulin wanted to look for the records on Vitality Sealing Finger? said Xiao Shi, smiling.

Guo Mulin embarrassingly coughed twice. Yes.

I have asked Grand Secretary Kang about it, he has also heard about the Vitality Sealing Finger, said Xiao Shi.

Guo Mulin was unimpressed. Oh, he is truly worthy of being a Grand Secretary, he even knew about this.

Grand Secretary has a wide range of knowledge. Xiao Shi smiled. Not anybody can be called a Grand Secretary. Grand Secretary Kang has a photographic memory, he had gone through the whole Violet Light Library. In fact, the imperial courts Violet Light Library has more books than our Public House!

If so, does he know the remedy for Vitality Sealing Finger?

Well, its just like what Chu Li said.

There is no alternative?

No. Xiao Shi looked at Chu Li. Chu Li, do you have the courage to help me?

Chu Li smiled. What is there to be afraid of?

If Sir Guo Mulin confirmed that its really Vitality Sealing Finger, then you will help me remove it! said Xiao Shi.

I will go back and try to understand what this Vitality Sealing Finger is. I will research about it properly, Guo Mulin said, just in case it is not!

Chu Li looked at the paintings, smiled and shook his head.

Chu Li visualized the Art of White Tiger in his mind, a white tiger leaped into the void of his mind and displayed various postures and forms, attracting the invisible force from the void and poured it into his body, strengthening his form. As the white tigers aura become mightier, the invisible force in the void became increasingly vigorous and intense.

When Chu Li looked at the Art of White Tiger now, the invisible force that was initially like the wind blowing gently had become a strong gale, he could clearly feel that every time after a cultivation, his body became slightly stronger. If his strength slowly accumulated like this, even he did not know how strong he could become in the future!

The following two days, the Secretarys Residence was very lively but no one attempted to assassinate him again. The failure of that group of people had let those who were eager to do the same thing understand that it was not so easy to intrude the Secretarys Residence.

North Gate of Chu Ling Li Yuning Town.

All the pedestrians that came and went, lightened their footsteps, closed their mouth and quietly walked by.

A group of Protectors from the Public House clustered around a handsome middle-aged man, motionlessly. A cold and heavy atmosphere permeated the air, the pedestrians dared not make a sound.

The handsome middle-aged man, with straight eyebrows that slanted upwards, bright, sharp eyes and a Grecian nose, was standing there silently. He exuded an unspoken elegance, others dared not look him in the eyes. He was the eldest young master of Yi Public House, Xiao Tieying.

Master, let me send someone to take a look again, an old man in a blue robe beside Xiao Tieying said softly.

Xiao Tieying waved his hand. No need, we will just wait for a while.

Yes, the old man with white eyebrows said softly.

This old mans eyebrows were all white and his complexion as ruddy as an infants, revealing his high cultivation level.

Lin Quan, when will the Longevity Grass be delivered? asked Xiao Tieying.

Master, its already on the way, Lin Quan muttered. Its estimated that it will be sent to the Public House in about half a month.

Good, good! Xiao Tieying said, I dont want any accidents to happen. After second younger sister eats this, I believe that she will recover!

Lin Quan with white eyebrows gave a solemn nod.
