Chapter 125: Task

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xiao Qi was moved. ‘For Second Eldest Sister, Big Brother put aside his own feelings and swallowed his pride.’

Once Chu Li chased down Jiang Kuai, he could only force Jiang Kuai which would result in Jiang Kuai struggling to death. Jiang Kuai would never surrender the Longevity Grass and only by giving him an opportunity would they be able to get it back.

Although the chances were very slim, they still need to strive for even the slightest opportunity. In fact, the Longevity Grass was found with this mentality.

“Third Younger Sister, since Chu Li can chase down Jiang Kuai, why didn’t you say so earlier?” Xiao Tieying grumbled gruffly.

Xiao Qi shook her head. “Chu Li’s Light-body Technique is good but he’s not a god. He may not be able to chase after Jiang Kuai successfully.”

“Even if there’s only a slim chance, we have to fight for it!” Xiao Tieying said, “Now, go and let him depart right away. Promote him to rank four. If he can really retrieve the Longevity Grass, I’ll promote him to a higher rank!”

Xiao Qi said, “We need the help of the Public House to first locate where Jiang Kuai is!”

“We’re already searching,” Xiao Tieying said. “Soon, we’ll get the news.”

“I’ll go see Chu Li,” Xiao Qi said.

In her heart, she did not hold any hope of recovering the Longevity Grass.

Jiang Kuai was a Celestial Larcenist, knowledgeable and experienced. How can he not recognize the Longevity Grass? Even if he did not think much of it, knowing the identity of the Public House, he would be able to guess that it was something precious and with a careful inspection, he would be able to verify it.

This herb can increase 60 years of one’s life expectancy and if Jiang Kuai knew about it, he would most likely swallow it directly into his tummy.

Xiao Tieying stared at her disgruntledly. “Hurry up and go find Chu Li!”

“There’s no hurry,” Xiao Qi said.

Xiao Tieying said snappily, “It’s possible that because of the time we used to say these few words, Jiang Kuai has eaten the Longevity Grass!”

“Fine, I’ll go now.” Xiao Qi shook her head. With the partially-insane state he was in, reasoning with him would be futile.

Chu Li was in the small courtyard, taking care of the spirit herbs. He had harvested a stubble and was now sowing new seeds.

The effects of Glory’s Will Tree were displayed for the first time. The harvest time was shorter than normal by two-thirds. The spirit herbs, which initially needed a year to grow, only required four months now.

Xue was practicing Dark Yin Palm at the side. The energy of Dark Yin Palm was not only mystical but its technique was also exotic. She needed to practice and comprehend it well as practice would help her perfect it.

“Knock! Knock!” There was knocking on the small courtyard door.

Chu Li used the Omniscient Mirror and saw that it was Xiao Qi. He waved his hand to tell Xue that he will open the door himself. After dusting off the spirit soil from his hands, he pulled open the door of the small courtyard and greeted with a fist salute. “My Lady.”

Xiao Qi was in a white gown looking otherworldly while Su Ru was in a light green gown looking beautiful and graceful.

“We’ll talk inside.” Xiao Qi stepped into the small courtyard.

She studied the Glory’s Will Tree and the surrounding spirit herbs and nodded in satisfaction. The spirit herbs grew surprisingly fast and although it was only a small blessed farmland, it was comparable to the Herb Garden.

Furthermore, the value of this small courtyard was immeasurable as there were a lot of herbs here that could not be found in the Herb Garden.

Xue quickly came and greeted them.

The four of them went into the pagoda. The green bamboos swayed and rustled, creating a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere.

Xue served tea and retreated quietly.

Xiao Qi put down the white jade teacup, her cool gaze fell on Chu Li. “Chu Li, you’re now rank four.”

Chu Li was stunned but laughed afterward. “Thank you, my Lady!”

Advancing from rank five to rank four was a chasm. He initially thought that it would take several years to accumulate enough credits as rank four was not something that could be reached through time where it all depended on one’s credit.

Xiao Qi said, “This is what you deserved. There’s one more thing.”

“Glory’s Will Courtyard?” Chu Li laughed. “Master Xiao did not agree?”

“Big Brother has agreed,” Xiao Qi said plainly, “but the Public House faces a problem.”

Chu Li looked at her.

Xiao Qi said, “Originally, we found the Longevity Grass but, in the end, it was snatched by Celestial Monkey.”

“Longevity Grass?” Chu Li was surprised and asked incredulously, “The legendary Longevity Grass?”

“Yes.”

“This world truly has Longevity Grass?” Chu Li sighed. “I’ve no idea. It was said to be able to increase 60 years of one’s life vitality. It’s indeed a good thing but how can it be snatched away?”

The Public House had a strong influence to be able to find the Longevity Grass and it should not be robbed. It would not be considered as overreacting no matter how much importance they put into this matter. They must have had Grandmasters as escorts and it was supposedly foolproof.

Xiao Qi asked plainly, “Do you know about the Celestial Monkey?”

Chu Li thought for a short while and nodded.

He found the information on the Celestial Monkey in his mind. Celestial Monkey was an Innate Master, his sublime Light-body Technique was unrivaled. Even in the face of a Grandmaster, he can escape uninjured.

Chu Li believed that this was not a false rumor because his own Light-body Technique was transcendent where he can definitely escape uninjured in the face of a Grandmaster too.

“Celestial Monkey takes advantage of the situation when Ferric Demon Ridge ambushes the Protectors of our Public House. He suddenly appears and steals the Longevity Grass,” Xiao Qi said plainly. “Now, he has gone missing and he might have already recognized the Longevity Grass.”

Chu Li let out a sigh. “Maybe he has eaten it?”

“If he has eaten it, kill him. If he has not, take it back. If he hands over the Longevity Grass, we will not blame him for his past mistakes,” Xiao Qi said. “This will be your task!”

Chu Li was stunned and pointed at himself unexpectedly.

Xiao Qi said, “Your Light-body Technique is the best. There’s a glimmer of hope that you can chase him down. If you can retrieve the Longevity Grass, you’ll be promoted again.”

Chu Li smiled bitterly. “My Lady, I don’t have such capability.”

Su Ru rolled her eyes at him and scoffed. “Chu Li, how would you know when you haven’t tried?”

Chu Li sighed. “I believe the Protectors of the Public House have tried?”

“Big Brother sent two batches of manpower but there is no news yet. Most likely, there’s no hope,” Xiao Qi shook her head and said. “If Celestial Monkey is so easy to catch, he would have died many times already. We still need to count on you.”

Chu Li picked up the white jade teacup, sipped the tea and gave a deep sigh. “Finding Celestial Monkey is more difficult than looking for a needle in the haystack.”

Celestial Monkey was the world-famous Celestial Larcenist. He had offended countless people, but he was still carefree until now and nobody was able to handle him. This meant that nobody knew his hiding place and he was well-versed in the concealment technique. The world was so big and to find his hiding place was like realizing one’s wildest fantasy.

After snatching the Longevity Grass, one did not need to think to know that Jiang Kuai went into hiding, and he would be hiding for quite a while.

In this situation, there must be a miracle if he wanted to find him. Although he had the Life and Death Scripture and Omniscient Mirror, he was not a god as he would still be unable to do anything.

“The Public House will mobilize manpower to help you,” Xiao Qi said.

Chu Li sighed. “My Lady, you know that it will be useless.”

Celestial Monkey had not only offended them but all the Public Houses of the 12 Paths, especially Ren Public House who hated him to the core while wanting to get rid of him and celebrate his death. The influence of Ren Public House was powerful but they still could not find him, let alone the Yi Public House.

Xiao Qi asked plainly, “Does that mean you don’t want to go?”

Chu Li looked at her cold and inscrutable face and sighed. “Since my Lady ordered, of course, I’ll comply!”

“Good.” Xiao Qi’s face softened.

Su Ru said, “What’s more to talk about? Hurry up, there’s no time to lose. If you’re even slightly late, Jiang Kuai might have already devoured the Longevity Grass!”

Xiao Qi asked, “Is there anything else you need?”

“This Longevity Grass, who is it for?” Chu Li questioned.

Xiao Qi was stunned momentarily as she had never thought that he would ask this question at this time. “For Second Eldest Sister.”

Chu Li nodded thoughtfully.

It seemed that Master Xiao was indeed very affectionate. The temptation of a 60-year life vitality was too great but he held back and wanted to give the Longevity Grass to Xiao Shi. He was worthy of his dedication.

Su Ru asked, “Don’t you need my help?”

Chu Li shook his head. “The fewer people, the better. It’s not easy to catch Celestial Monkey.”

“When do you plan to start?” Xiao Qi asked.

Chu Li pondered for a moment and lifted his head. “That batch of Protectors has returned?”

“You suspect that there’s an informant?” Xiao Qi immediately understood what he meant.

Chu Li answered, “Most likely.”
