Chapter 14 Encounter on the Road＊＊＊
Huanyan felt embarrassed when Chu Li held her wrist, so she let go.
Chu Li silently withdrew the three fingers pressing on her pulse.
The red-clothed steward's eyes turned fierce, "Young Master, you'd better find out what Tianyin Pavilion is. I won't sell it if I say so!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the secret room was suddenly closed from the outside.
"Be my companion, and stay together through life and death!" Chu Li looked at Huan Yan with a firm gaze, "Are you willing?"
"Hehe, Huanyan, are you willing?" The steward in red was arrogant and threatening.
Huanyan was shocked by Chu Li's words that his companions would always be with him through thick and thin. Even if they were bought, they would be treated as servants by the buyers.
It was the first time she heard this title, companion!
However, she did not dare to respond to the young man in person.
"See, she doesn't want to! Sir, if you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave!" The eyes of the red-clothed steward gradually became vicious.
Bingxia subconsciously tightened Chu Li's arm. Chu Li smiled slightly and looked at the place where Huanyan had been watching. "Threatening me? This young master is a little excited."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Li jumped up and clicked the mechanism on the wall. A brocade box popped out and she held it firmly in her hand.
The red-robed steward's expression changed drastically, and Huanyan's eyes lit up.
"I hate being threatened the most." Chu Li shook the brocade box in his hand towards the steward in red.
Huanyan subconsciously clenched her fists, her breathing quickened, and she watched Chu Li open the black brocade box without blinking.
Inside the brocade box was a large stack of indentures.
The steward in red was panicked. How did this man know that all the indentures of Tianyin Pavilion were located at that location?
"Manager Mo Li, you don't want the Pavilion Master to know that so many indentures are in the hands of an outsider like me, right?"
"You!" The red-clothed steward was completely confused when she heard Chu Li calling out her name.
Chu Li handed the brocade box in his hand to Huan Yan beside him. Huan Yan was stunned at first, then quickly looked for her indenture.
The fact that this young man dared to give her such an important brocade box was enough to prove that he already regarded her as a companion.
When Chu Li saw Huanyan holding her indenture contract in an excited mood, she smiled and took back the brocade box.
"Manager Mo, please give me the five thousand taels of silver. I will take Huanyan away. I have a bad memory and will forget everything that happened in the secret room today."
Mo Li's eyes flickered, "Okay, you take the person away, and return the brocade box to me!"
Chu Li put down the five thousand taels of silver notes and looked at the excited Huan Yan, "Do you have anything to take away?"
Huanyan shook her head without even thinking about it.
"Very good." Chu Li likes people who do things decisively and without dragging their feet.
When Chu Li walked past the five girls with a happy face, their eyes were full of envy.
Chu Li walked out of the secret room, threw the brocade box back, and the indenture contract fell to the ground. Manager Mo hurriedly went to pick it up.
She couldn't tell the Pavilion Master how Huanyan was bought, or he would definitely punish her for incompetence.
I thought the most dangerous place was the safest place. How did that man know that location!
Mo Li looked at the five women, "If any of you five dare to tell others about what happened today, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Yes!"
Chu Li took Bingxia and Huanyan away from Tianyin Pavilion.
The three of them sat in the carriage, and Huanyan breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Thank you."
Chu Li smiled lightly, lowered her eyes and asked, "Why did you choose me, sir?"
Chu Li opened his folding fan and praised: "When you came in to pour tea, you came to my side quietly, and your footsteps made no sound. Your Qinggong should be the best in Tianyin Pavilion."
Huanyan's eyes lit up. This young man was very observant.
Chu Li smiled and continued, "In such a small space, the five of them were fighting. It is said that fists and feet have no eyes. You were able to hold the porcelain cup without leaking a drop of water. You have a steady mind."
When Chu Li practiced martial arts in his previous life, he was either on a water tank or on a plum blossom pile. Some even went so far as to place a wine bowl on his head and finish a sword dance without spilling a drop of wine.
So since Huanyan can achieve this level, her martial arts skills must be good too.
The most important thing is that she saw the steward's eyes full of hatred and love for Huanyan.
Such a person is definitely a leader in the team, which is why he arouses the jealousy of the manager.
"Then how did you know where our indentures were hidden?"
"Your eyes betray you. A person in trouble can't help but take a few more glances at the thing he wants most, because it is hope. Even if it is not your indenture, it is something that can threaten Li Qiye."
Huanyan was convinced that this young man was good at understanding people's hearts.
In fact, in addition to these, there is another reason.
Chu Li said in a serious tone, "The indenture is already in your hands, so are you willing to come with me?"
Huanyan felt unprecedented respect. Logically speaking, the other party had already bought her, so there was no need to ask this question.
Seeing Huanyan was stunned, Chu Li patted her shoulder generously and said, "If you have any grievances or grudges in the future, I will support you. How about that?"
This time, Huanyan was completely confused, "How did you know..."
Of course Chu Li would not reveal too many of his cards.
She had just held Huanyan's wrist and felt her pulse in the secret room. Huanyan was depressed, her blood was congested, and her body had been poisoned for a long time. She must have been framed.
Her eyes fell on Huanyan's face, "You are poisoned, and there are poison spots on your face. Let's help each other. I can find someone to help you detoxify."
Huanyan gasped. This young man was extremely meticulous and had foresight. His strength was terrifying!
The other party only met her once, how come he knew everything so clearly?
Anyone in Tianyin Pavilion who betrays the secrets of the pavilion will be hunted down by everyone.
There is no way this young man could know about her affairs.
Today, since she has been rescued by this young master, she will be loyal to him wholeheartedly without him telling her.
She gently placed her hand on her ear and removed the veil, revealing her true face.
Bingxia was stunned for a moment. It was such a pity for Huanyan's face. The left side of her face was quite beautiful, but the right side looked like it was dyed.
When Chu Li saw Huan Yan’s true face, the first person he thought of was Zhong Wuyan!
If her poison spots could be removed, she would definitely be a beauty.
But she doesn't care whether she is beautiful or not, as long as she is loyal and does her job well.
Seeing that Chu Li was staring at her, Huanyan lowered her eyes and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
"I have also sought treatment from famous doctors, but no one could cure me. Sir, after seeing my true appearance, are you still willing to keep me?"
Before Chu Li could answer, the driver outside stretched his neck and looked forward, "Hey, sir, our *** wants to leave the city, we have to give way, and may have to slow down a bit."
"I understand." Chu Li knew that Chu Yue had returned, and she didn't want to run into her at this moment.
After a dozen breaths, the carriage suddenly jolted violently and almost overturned.
Chu Li protected Bing Xia who was staggering, and Huan Yan subconsciously grabbed the handrail to protect her master Chu Li.
The sound of the horse neighing reached Chu Li's ears. The groom's voice changed drastically, his face turned pale, "Sir, this is bad!"
