Chapter 124 Recommendation

Xiao Qi stepped into the hall lightly, and the hall seemed to be a little brighter.

Her cold eyes swept over the fragments of the teacup and the palm prints on the sandalwood coffee table, looked at the gloomy Xiao Tieying, and said calmly, "Brother, what happened?"

Xiao Tieying gritted his teeth and snorted, "The Everlasting Grass has been robbed!"

Xiao Qidai frowned, and glanced at the middle-aged man: "Uncle Song, what's going on?"

The middle-aged man said embarrassingly: "Miss San, we were ambushed by people from Tie Yao Ridge halfway. It may be that the Flying Monkey took advantage of the fire and snatched the everlasting grass."

"Maybe it's the flying monkey?!" Xiao Qiyu's face darkened.

"Being able to snatch things away right under Huang Lao's nose, his agility is amazing, coupled with his thin body, even with his face covered, he's probably a flying monkey!"

Xiao Qi said coldly: "Jiang Huai is so courageous!"

She turned to Xiao Tieying, her bright eyes flickered, and she didn't say much.

This kind of aggrieved feeling must have driven the eldest brother crazy. It is useless to blame him for not doing things carefully. The most urgent thing is to get back the longevity grass. This is the only chance for the second sister to recover.

Xiao Tieying took a deep breath, suppressed his gloom, and said in a deep voice: "Sister, what's the matter?"

"I want Chu Li to be in charge of the First Academy." Xiao Qi said, "We have built a new Heavenly Spirit Academy and let him be the manager."

"Nonsense!" Xiao Tieying said angrily: "How old is he? How long has he been in the mansion? Can the manager do whatever he wants?!"

Xiao Qi said indifferently: "He is now a fifth rank, he gave his life to save the second sister, his loyalty is unquestionable, and he is extremely capable, I am going to let him share some things for me, and be responsible for cleaning up the traitors in the house."

Xiao Tieying frowned: "Can he bear it? No one can match your ability!"

He knew the third sister's unique ability to read people's hearts, so he was very handy in tracking down the traitors. Others didn't have such abilities, and they couldn't do what she did.

Xiao Qi said: "He has practiced Buddhism since he was a child, and his cultivation is extremely deep, and he has a deep insight into people's hearts. Even if he can't do what I do, he can still be competent in investigating traitors."

Xiao Tieying frowned and remained silent.

He still felt that Chu Li was too young and had been in the mansion for too short a time. His feelings for the Duke's Mansion were far less deep than those he had lived in since he was a child. Impulse cannot be simply attributed to loyalty.

Xiao Qi glanced at him lightly: "Brother, are you still worried about my employment?"

"... That's true." Xiao Tieying suddenly realized that he, the third sister, could read people's hearts, so there was really no need to worry about Chu Li's loyalty.

Xiao Qi said: "I am going to give ten thousand taels of silver every month in Tianling Academy."

"Ten thousand taels is not much..." Xiao Tieying nodded and sighed, "He can really do well?"

"The Everlasting Grass was taken by the Flying God Monkey, I'm afraid we won't be able to get it back." Xiao Qi frowned and said, "It must have leaked the news."

"Impossible." Xiao Tieying shook his head and said, "They are the most trustworthy people!"

"How could such a coincidence happen!" Xiao Qi pondered, "Well, let Chu Li check it out."

Xiao Tieying shook his head: "He's not high enough!"

The people who delivered the everlasting grass this time were all his confidantes, loyal and reliable, if Xiao Qi investigated, they would be able to hold back, if Chu Li, they would definitely be dissatisfied, and the headache would still be their own.

Xiao Qi said: "Then give Chu Li a promotion."

"One more promotion?" Xiao Tieying laughed, "He's promoted fast enough!"

"Based on his credit for saving the second sister, can't he be promoted to a higher rank?" Xiao Qi said indifferently: "If it weren't for Mr. Guo's elixir, he would have died this time! Such credit for saving his life and saving him cannot be promoted to a higher rank, it's too chilling! "

As soon as Xiao Shi was mentioned, Xiao Tieying immediately softened and fell silent.

"Brother, do you have prejudice against Chu Li?" Xiao Qi said bluntly.

Xiao Tieying said: "I just think he is too young and not stable enough."

"Chu Li's actions are experienced and steady, very steady." Xiao Qi snorted, "Just because he is young, why suppress his credit and not give him a promotion?"

"Okay, okay." Xiao Tieying said helplessly: "Anyway, I can't say no to you, if you are so persistent, then give him a promotion!"

Xiao Qi glanced at him.

Xiao Tieying said: "Of course, if he can save the second sister, he should indeed be promoted."

Only then did Xiao Qi retract her gaze in satisfaction, and said lightly: "As for the matter of the longevity grass, it's better not to let the second sister know, otherwise I'm afraid it will be a serious illness... I think there must be something wrong, this time it's the longevity grass, What about next time?...Could it be that the everlasting grass is gone for nothing?"

Longevity grass is extremely rare. With the power of the Duke's Mansion, it took several years to find it. Finally, such a plant was found, but it was snatched away.

Not to mention the annoyance, what a great harm to the second sister, she could have recovered, but she lost the opportunity.

Xiao Tieying gritted his teeth and said coldly: "The one surnamed Jiang must be killed!"

Xiao Qi said: "His lightness kung fu is rare in this world, who can kill him?"

Xiao Tieying was silent, his face became more and more ugly.

Xiao Qi's words hit his sore spot. Even though the Duke's Mansion is powerful, there is nothing he can do about it. As long as the Flying God Monkey goes to the other eleven roads, or even leaves Daji, he can be at ease.

Xiao Qi said: "If you can't kill him, but make him want to kill, once the second sister leaves the house, what should I do if he sneaks up?"

Xiao Tieying's face became more and more ugly.

Xiao Qi said: "Chu Lijin rank one, enough to investigate the guards this time!"

"Third sister, do you really think there is something wrong with them?"

"Brother, do you really believe this is a coincidence?"

"...Maybe it's just a coincidence." Xiao Tieying said hesitantly.

Xiao Qi said: "I don't believe in coincidences. Even if it's a coincidence, it's okay to investigate. They won't be wronged!...Leave this matter to Chu Li!"

"Hmph, you're giving him power!" Xiao Tieying said angrily, "It's really painstakingly cultivated! ... Well, I agree, but I have one condition!"

"explain."

"You investigate too!" Xiao Tieying said: "Don't let him know, the final investigation result looks different from yours, so you are not allowed to tell him in advance!"

Xiao Qi nodded lightly: "Well, no problem!"

She has great confidence in Chu Li, and if there is a problem, she will definitely find it out.

Her eyes flashed, and she showed a smile: "What if he finds out?"

Xiao Tieying said: "He can really find out, he can do whatever he wants in the future, and leave the house to clean up the traitors!... But you have sorted it out once, Sanmei, so there shouldn't be any problem!"

Xiao Qi shook her head lightly and said: "People's hearts are changeable. Being loyal one moment may not be loyal the next moment, so we need Tianling Academy."

"...That's true." Xiao Tieying sighed.

He lowered his head, his brows were tightly knit, and he couldn't let go of his depression.

Xiao Qi said: "Brother, it's useless to think too much about the matter so far, it should be assumed that you have never found everlasting grass!"

"Damn Jiang Huai!" Xiao Tieying gritted his teeth.

"The Everlasting Grass may not be found, but it may not be impossible to kill Jiang Huai." Xiao Qi said.

Xiao Tieying lifted his spirits, raised his head and said, "Who can kill him?"

"Chu Li." Xiao Qi said.

"He—?" Xiao Tieying shook his head and laughed: "Third sister, you value this Chu Li too much. Even the masters of Tianwaitian can't do anything, can Chuli do it?"

Xiao Qi said: "Brother thinks I will lie to you?"

Xiao Tieying was startled, frowned and said: "Can he really kill Jiang Huai?"

"After this incident, let him try." Xiao Qi said.

"No, kill Jiang Huai first!" Xiao Tieying hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I'm not willing to let someone surnamed Jiang live another day!... Besides, what if the Everlasting Grass is still in Jiang Huai's hands?"

Xiao Qi pondered.

Xiao Tieying said: "If Chu Li can catch up with Jiang Huai, and Jiang Huai can hand over the longevity grass, I can pretend nothing happened!"
