Chu Li cultivates Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait, and he needs to fully comprehend the true immense power that comes along with it, said Xiao Qi.

He dared to touch the Spirit Tigers Bone? Xiao Tieying shook his head as he said, Better not do anything stupid. Hes a genius, dont ruin him!

Chu Li has already had some progress in Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait. If he had the bone, hed definitely improve. If he stopped just because didnt have the bone, itd be such a pity!

Thats amazing. He can even cultivate Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait !

Hes actually quite lucky. Chu Li has already gathered the upper and lower part.

Xiao Tieying sighed. He had also cultivated Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait before, but he had never caught the key to it. Thus, he never completed the cultivation.

So far, Chu Lis innate talent was indeed impressive. It was almost on par with the Third Ladys. He was definitely worth the effort in being trained.

As the eldest son of the Public House, Xiao Tieying would of course not be jealous of Chu Li. He instead admired Chu Li, and even thought highly of him. A genius like Chu Li must not be wasted, or else it would have been a big mistake. If the Public House wanted to be rich and powerful, he needed to make good use of these geniuses.

Big Brother Xiao Qi said. We wont use that Spirit Tigers Bone either way. If it cant be made into medicine and we dont even dare touch it, we might as well give it to him!

Does Chu Li know how to use it? Xiao Tieying asked. It has a very ill-omened power. If he touches it, hell definitely be doomed!

Chu Li has a very deep dharmic base, and hes also sensitive to danger. If it posed any threat, hed definitely avoid it, Xiao Qi said. Big Brother, are you unwilling to hand it over?

Who says Im unwilling!? Xiao Tieying shook his hand as he impolitely scoffed, Fine, just pass it to him!

Xiao Qi smirked.

Xiao Tieying let out a deep breath. He clenched his teeth to bear his heartache. But you must tell him clearly that this thing isnt a joke!

Of course. Xiao Qi pursed her lips and smiled gently. Big Brother, youre truly reluctant to give it out, arent you?

Xiao Tieying stared impolitely at her. Insult me as you wish!

Where did the Spirit Tigers Bone come from?

Who knows. Xiao Tieying shook his head as he sighed. I asked father about it once before. Even he didnt know.

This might be the only one in the entire world said Xiao Qi.

Xiao Tieying laughed. It could be that one of the Enlightened Masters brought this back from the Mountain. He may have even brought a few of them along with him.

If he brought back one more piece of it, Im sure itd provoke the Spirit Tigers, Xiao Qi said. Even Enlightened Masters wouldnt dare to do that.

What if there were a few Enlightened Masters?

Stop bringing up irrelevant matters, Brother.

Thats exactly how hard it was to get the Spirit Tigers Bone. Xiao Tieying shook his head and sighed. But Chu Li retrieved the grass and saved Sister Xiao Shis life. That was far more important than the piece of bone!

Xiao Qi gently nodded.

The both of them talked while leaving the backyard, and walked together into the main hall.

Before Xiao Tieying sat down, he raised his voice and called out for Linquan. Linquan! Linquan!

Master! the crane haired, baby-faced elder appeared. He smiled as he squinted his eyes. How may I be of help, Master?

Go to the storehouse and bring me the Spirit Tigers Bone! commanded Xiao Tieying.

As you wish. Linquan turned around to go get the bone.

Xiao Tieying pointed at the armchair, signaling at Xiao Qi to sit.

Xiao Qi muttered for a moment as she sighed. Big Brother, what if what Chu Li said was indeed true?

About what? Xiao Tieying was startled and suddenly recalled what Chu Li had said. He shook his head and could not control his laughter. The Vitality Sealing Finger?

Chu Li is very confident about his determination, Xiao Qi slowly said.

Xiao Tieying shook his head. Seems like youve come to trust him a lot. That isnt a good thing. Besides, hes just a subordinate. You still need to keep your wits about you. You cant just always trust him!

Understood. Xiao Qi nodded.

She was clear on the means of manipulation. Human nature was inherently evil. One could not just always blindly trust others.

If it really is the Vitality Sealing Finger, then well just find someone to undo it. Its not a big deal! said Xiao Tieying.

Xiao Qi furrowed her brows and muttered to herself, the Vitality Sealing Finger was not that easy to deal with.

Linquan quickly returned to the main hall with a black box. It looked like an ordinary jewelry box. Master.

Xiao Tieying took it and passed it to Xiao Qi. This is the bone. Remember to tell him clearly. Dont touch it!

Understood, Xiao Qi replied, hes not that stupid.

Im worried that Chu Lis arrogance will lead him to his very own death. If he touches it, the ill-omen would definitely penetrate and rip him apart. Xiao Tieying scoffed.

Xiao Qi smiled. Big Brother, Chu Li has already invited Jiang Kuai into the Public House.

Hmph? Xiao Tieying was startled. His complexion turned grim.

How should we punish Jiang Kuai? Xiao Qi added.

Xiao Tieying took a few deep breaths.

He had the intention of flaying Jiang Kuai whenever he had the chance, but since he regained the Longevity grass, his anger was quelled quite a bit. However, as he heard Jiang Kuais name, his discomfort came right back to him. Xiao Tieyings anger had not completely faded yet.

Shall we exile him from the Public House? proposed Xiao Qi.

Nonsense! Xiao Tieying impolitely gazed at Xiao Qi. His Light-body Technique is notable. Moreover, since hes in the Public House, we cant possibly let him go.

Xiao Qi gently nodded.

Chu Li is quite competent. Xiao Tieying scoffed, To have invited Jiang Kuai to join the Public House? Hes such a prideful and arrogant bastard, surely it mustve not been easy!

Chu Li understands the human heart. He can identify what they want and break their barriers, said Xiao Qi.

Theres no need to rush, let Jiang Kuai take his time with his own decision, Xiao Tieying said. Chu Li will definitely convince Jiang Kuai to join the Glorys Will Courtyard!

Xiao Qi gently smiled. It might be possible.

Linquan served two cups of tea as he bowed and stood to the side.

Xiao Qi glanced at him. Linquan, youre quite old now, arent you? Shouldnt you have a good life? Youre at least old enough for that. You can be a senior in the Martial Arts Hall!

Linquan smiled. I offer my sincerest thanks to your concern, Third Lady. However, Im just an old man that was born to work, not to enjoy life. I feel uncomfortable while I rest. If my limbs can still move, Ill serve my Master. Thats what brings me comfort.

Haaah Xiao Qi sighed as she shook her head.

Xiao Tieying smiled. I really wouldnt be used to not having Linquan around! These maids are clumsy and a real pain in my eyes.

Those maids dont have Linquans competence! Hes smart and careful, a rare find. Maybe you should find a maid over at the Second Ladys place, said Xiao Qi.

With that temper? Who will she like? Xiao Tieying helplessly sighed.

Xiao Qi shook her head. How can you not have a personal maid to serve you? Isnt that extremely inconvenient?

Xiao Shi did not have a personal maid, she only had a group of maids to serve her. Her temper was frightening, and she did not like people sticking around her. Xiao Shi preferred to be alone. She was free and felt calmed when she was, but this proved to be very inconvenient.

If Xiao Shi were like Xiao Qi and had someone like Su Ru beside her, a lot of things that she neednt worry about would have been dealt with easily. In Xiao Qis case, she was able to concentrate on cultivating and handling the personal matters of the Public House, rather than dealing with trifling matters.

Some small issues needed full attention and had to be dealt with one by one. It was very tiring, but the Second Lady was happy with it.

The few maids with her are helpful, Xiao Tieying said. She doesnt like people that stay too close to her. Itd be useless if we ordered someone else to serve her.

Xiao Qi gently nodded.

Xiao Tieyings eyes suddenly widened. Third Younger Sister, dont tell me you want to assign Linquan to her?

Would you be willing to, Big Brother? Xiao Qi pursed her lips and smiled.

Xiao Tieying hurriedly shook his head. No, never!

Fine, Xiao Qi said, Ill be presenting Second Eldest Sister with the Longevity Grass later this afternoon. Ill be leaving now.

Very well. Xiao Tieying impolitely waved his hand.

His head was in a mess because of what Xiao Qi had said. Xiao Tieying took a glance at Linquan. In the end, Linquan was still a man. He may be old, but he was still male. Second Younger Sisters personal servant needed to be a woman.

Chu Li was cultivating in the courtyard, visualizing Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait. Xiao Qi and Su Ru pushed the door open and walked in, sitting in front of him. Su Ru placed the black box on the stone table.

Chu Li fist saluted and curiously looked at the black box.

Youve been promoted again, rank 3 now. Inside this little box here is the Spirit Tigers Bone, Xiao Qi said. It has an ill power surrounding it. Make sure not to touch it.

The Spirit Tigers Bone? Chu Li was shocked.

Xiao Qi gently nodded. This is a reward for the retrieval of the Longevity Grass. It might help you with cultivating Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait.

Chu Li gently opened the black box. The power pounced on him, like a fierce white tiger.

Chu Li happily closed the box, fist saluted and thanked her.
