Chu Li took a look at Third Master Qi, Third Master Qi, I heard that this restaurant was opened by Prince Cheng.

Hehe, what nonsense, Im the one who opened this restaurant! Third Master Qi shook his head disapprovingly and said, Nowadays the people speak and act on hearsay. Theyll believe any rumors people have made and wont use their brain to think. Why would someone as honorable as the Prince be involved in such things?

Chu Li use the Omniscient Mirror to look through what he was thinking. The Domain of Aroma was indeed opened by Prince Cheng. Third Master Qi was Prince Chengs Scribe and currently he was assigned to manage the Domain of Aroma.

Chu Li said, Zhu Ziwens wife was originally an Imperial Maid. The Third Master Qi only dared to purchase her due to Prince Chengs support. Normal people wouldnt have the courage to do so.

Yang Xu was an Imperial Maid? Third Master Qis complexion changed.

Chu Li forced out a smile, If Yang Xu came back and saw the situation, she could write a letter to the Imperial House. Perhaps even complain to the courthouse. Im not sure how things will turn out to be but Third Master Qi must have some abnormally large guts to pull off something like this.

Third Master Qis complexion changed again.

He could tell that Chu Li was threatening him. If this problem were to stir up, it wouldnt affect the Domain of Aroma. However, it was hard to avoid the blame from the his superiors. He would eventually be punished.

Chu Li gave him another look and sat beside the table without saying another word..

Third Master Qis expression paled and did not say anything too.

Ziwens neck twitched in discomfort. The temperature in the Domain was as warm as spring but, but somehow he could feel a chill down his spine.

Pam Pam! The sound of two loud noises were heard. Followed with two men in neat outfits entering through the window and landing in front of Third Master Qi.

Third Master Qi noticed they came back empty handed. He frowned and his face was as gloomy as a stormcloud about to pour, Wheres the person?!

The two huge men lowered their heads. With disappointment they said, Third Master Qi, that child is dead!

Hes dead? Third Master Qi clenched his teeth and uttered a few words, Elder Guo told you this?

Yes, Elder Guo said he didnt make it and he perished. He is already finding someone to bury him.

Third Master Qis complexion turned ghastly pale. He turned to face Chu Li and then continued to stared at the banknotes that were still on the table.

If he can get these silvers, then the one thousand taels are his too.

The Domain of Aroma often saw copious amounts of money passing through it. However, those were the Princes money and it didnt belong to him. If he were to get just ten thousand taels on the side for himself, he would thank the heavens and live an easy life for the rest of the year!

But after what had just happened, his whole years worth of side income was gone. This was unbearable!

Chu Li withdrew the one thousand taels banknote, he gently shook it and it turned to debris, he again took out another ten thousand taels banknote.

Hold on! Third Master Qi stretched out his arms and shouted.

Chu Li said, Seems like all this silver just isnt meant for Third Master Qi. Okay, Ill change the terms. Bring Elder Guo to me so I can meet him personally, then Ill decide where should this ten thousand taels go!

Hurry up! Third Master Qi angrily shouted.

The two neat and tidy big guys hurriedly rushed out the window, Third Master Qi stared blankly at the banknote.

As Chu Li slowly took back his banknotes, Does Elder Guo specialize in castrations?

Hes in charge of prepping the eunuchs in accordance to the Palaces requirements. Third Master Qis complexion shifted back to normal. His squinty eyes now had a certain glimmer in them.

If only this man in front of him was not an innate master that was stronger than him, he could have just grabbed the banknote away. Unfortunately, even with all the help in the world, the odds of keeping the banknotes were slim.

Besides, if they really start a fight, even if he borrowed people from the Imperial Residence, the Domain of Aroma would still sustain massive losses. Their business reputation would also be affected, which in turn would cost him money that did not even belong to him. He knew he had to be flexible as a businessman, the most important thing here was the silvers.

Chu Li turned to face Zhu Ziwen.

Zhu Ziwen had a contented expression, he didnt care because this illegitimate child was finally dead!

Third Master Qi softly coughed but he forced out a smile and said, Youve been here so long, I still havent asked for your name.

Chu Li calmly said, I think its better not to say it out loud.

Oh? Third Master Qi smiled as he squinted his eyes, Are there any difficulties for you to say it out?

If I tell you my name, Im afraid I would have to kill you. Chu Li calmly said.

Third Master Qi laughed, How did you get associated with a scum like Elder Zhu, he is but a waste of food!

I know Yang Xu, as Chu Li fake a smile while facing him.

Third Master Qi in return gave a forceful smile too.

He was scared of Chu Li.

The longer one dwelled amongst the martial arts circles, the smaller ones confidence became. Chu Lis obviously had innate mastery, this paired with his arrogant and bossy nature suggested that he was definitely no average joe. Furthermore, he knew Yang Xu which indicated a possible relation to the Imperial House.

He would rather tolerate the moment than aggravate Chu Lis. He also didnt want to offend Chu Lis relations either as that would result his future death too .

As they grew silent, the noise from the background turned loud and clear.

Chu Li sat motionless, he could clearly see inner and outer surroundings of the Domain of Aroma. He could even identify the exact location in where the banknotes were placed. There were two Grandmasters keeping watch of it.

Ah! someone miserably gasped. A man with a black shirt flew in from the window and positioned himself in front of Chu Li.

The two men in neat attires followed and landed on the ground. Expressionless as they stared at Chu Li.

The man in the black attire was a pale looking elder with shifty-eyes. His eyes were shining sharply.

He rapidly looked around and stood right up. He then fist saluted, Third Master Qi, you only have to order us if theres anything you would like us to do, did you really have to make such a big fuss?

Third Master Qi furrowed and said, Elder Guo, the child you bought three days ago, is he really dead?

Hehe, that kid was pure and cute. Its quite a pity. Elder Guo shook his head and showed a compassionate look, If he really did join the Imperial Residence, maybe he would have been successful. Such a pity, he didnt have the honor of a wealthy life!

Chu Li said, Elder Guo, you sold him for one hundred taels right?

What? Elder Guo grew startled. He frantically said, What one hundred taels? I dont understand what youre saying!

Chu Li shook his head and said, How much money did you get then? Ten taels? You sold him for one hundred taels. Thats really a good sale price. If I were you, I would say that hes dead too!

Elder Guo! Third Master Qi exclaimed with clenched teeth.

Elder Guo look at Chu Li and then Third Master Qi. He had a cold but relaxed expression. He then said, Okay okay, Ill tell the truth. The one that sold the boy was me!

Who did you sell him to?

I really dont know. Two fellows came over and proposed to buy the child for one hundred taels. I wasnt stupid enough to pass the opportunity, so I sold him.

Third Master Qi clenched his teeth. His gaze was cold and had a dark expression.

Chu Li took out two banknotes worth ten thousand taels and placed it on the table, Third Master Qi, if you find the child, all these are yours! Here are ten thousand taels in advance. Once you have found the child, Ill give you the other ten thousand taels!

He passed the ten thousand taels to Third Master Qi as he mentioned this.

Third Master Qi took it and raised his thumb, Okay, how quick and easy! Leave it to me!

He turned over his head and stared, You two and Elder Guo will go and find the identity of the two buyers. If you have found them, there will be one thousand taels for each of you. If you fail to do so, dont even bother about wanting to live!

This Elder Guo found it difficult.

Third Master Qi coldly glared at him, What, you cant do it?

Okay, okay. Ill try, Ill try. Elder Guo sighed and said, Third Master Qi youre well-informed. Youll definitely can find the child!

Hmph, its good that you know! Third Master Qi coldly scoffed.

He then immediately changed to a gentle expression, Master, dont you worry. As long as they are still in the Fairys Capital, Ill find them out!

Chu Li nodded and then pointed at Zhu Ziwen, Third Master Qi, help me send him on his way to hell.

Zhu Ziwen was shocked, he hurriedly shouted, What do you mean?! What do you intend to do with me?!

Chu Li did not even cast a look at him.

Third Master Qi laughed and said, This kind of man shouldve been dead long ago. Leave this to me!

He cast a hinting glance and the two men with neat uniforms went forward and patted Zhu Ziwen. They sealed an acupuncture point in him and carried him downstairs.
