Chapter 58 Chu Chouli's Identity

After a series of great sympathy ceremonies, Xu Han and the others finally settled down in the Exquisite Pavilion.

Perhaps because Ye Hongjian had just undergone a great change and was afraid that she would not be able to calm down, Ning Zhumang and the others had only roughly inquired about the history of some things and did not ask about the details.

For example, the myth that the killer leader was struck to death by a bolt of lightning descended from the sky was only frowned by everyone, and no one questioned it on the spot. On the contrary, when Ye Hongjian said that Xu Han was her fiance, there was an uproar. However, under Ning Zhumang 's orders, no matter how many questions everyone had, they chose to remain silent at that time.

The three of them were arranged to stay in a small courtyard at the mountainside of Zhongju Peak. Ye Hongjian was Si Bang's disciple, Xu Han was her fiance, and Chu Chouli was said to be Xu Han's servant. With her status as Ye Hongjian, even Ning Zhumang could not find anything wrong with the two of them, so she fulfilled her wish.

The courtyard was called the small porch window. It was not big, but it was extremely exquisite. However, there were only two rooms in the wing.

This was not because the Linglong Pavilion was stingy. After all, there were some rules for large sects. It would be great for ordinary disciples to have a single room to live in. However, the granting of a small courtyard to Ye Hongjian was enough to show how noble Ye Hongjian's status was.

Perhaps in their hearts, they were thinking that since Xu Han was Ye Hongjian 's fiance, it would be very appropriate for Chu Chouli to live in one room alone.

However, it was a pity that Xu Han did not have such a luck. He just wanted to go to Ye Hongjian 's room and say something to her. He threw out a pillow and quilt for convenience and drove him to another room.

On this day, Xu Han was a little tired from the series of booing and greeting from the upper mountain gate. He did not have any intention of arguing. He held his blanket and pushed open the door on the other side of the courtyard.

There, Chu Chouli had already slept soundly under the blanket. If it weren't for the heaven-shaking snoring, Xu Han would have thought that the other party had fainted.

Xu Han shook his head. He thought that he would have to live with this rough man who smelled of alcohol in the future. He immediately felt a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, he was also used to living a bitter life, so he did not feel much discomfort. He simply laid out his position and slept beside Chu Chouli.

…

The next morning, when Xu Han stood up, Ye Hongjian had already been summoned by the big shots of the Exquisite Pavilion.

After all, after such a thing happened, Xu Han had to explain it clearly. Xu Han had already expected it. He had also checked some details with Ye Hongjian . Even if they suspected that the killer had died because of something like this, as long as they insisted that he had been struck by heavenly lightning, the other party would not be able to find any flaws.

"You're awake! Come, try my chicken soup." As Xu Han thought about this, he pushed open the door, but his goal was to enter Chu Chouli's bearded and smiling face.

There was a saying that he didn't hit the smiling person. Xu Han's senses were not good for the drunkard who had stolen his own money bag when he first arrived in Chang'an, but the other party seemed to be extremely concerned about his injuries. He had already delivered a warm chicken soup at this moment. He thought that he should have gotten up early.

However, being cared for by such a middle-aged uncle made Xu Han feel a little strange. He thought that if this extremely rough face in front of him was called Ye Hongjian 's peerless face, it would be extremely good.

However, he still stretched out his hand to receive the chicken soup and thanked Chu Chouli. Then, he sat down beside the stone stool in the courtyard with the chicken soup.

He took a sip and felt that the taste was not bad. Xuan'er, who had been wild all night, probably also smelled this fragrance. A few of them jumped onto the stone table and anxiously shouted at Xu Han, "Miao miao miao".

"You're the only one who's greedy." Xu Han rolled his eyes at the black cat, but he still scooped out a spoonful from the bowl and handed it to the black cat. The black cat immediately lowered its head and stuck out its tongue to lick the spoon incessantly. There was even a rumbling sound in its throat.

Xu Han looked at the black cat happily. Along the way, this little fellow had accompanied him through a lot of hardships. Xu Han had already treated him as a friend in his heart. Whatever he liked, Xu Han would definitely be satisfied.

Moreover, the situation in his body wasn't that bad. He could recover in a short amount of time. Whether he drank the chicken soup or not wasn't a problem for Xu Han.

At that time, he stroked the shiny hair on Xuan'er's back, but his gaze was fixed on the two majestic mountains in the distance.

Linglong Pavilion was located on a mountain called Tengyun Mountain at the junction of the three continents of Qingzhou, Jizhou and Liangzhou.

There were three main peaks in this mountain, called Da Huan, Zhong Ju, and Xuan He. They corresponded to grammar, martial arts, and medicine.

At this moment, Xu Han was at the mountainside of the Chongju Peak , one of the three peaks. The purpose of his trip, the precious medicinal ingredients that could refine his demonic arm, were located on the distant Xuanhe Peak.

However, even though the Linglong Pavilion had arrived, it was still very difficult to obtain those rare medicinal ingredients.

Steal? He doesn't have the ability.

Robbery? He doesn't have that kind of strength.

Change? He didn't have anything else in his body.

Thinking like this, Xu Hanren felt a little painful.

"Come, come, come. There's also steamed fish and white vinegar duck." At this moment, Chu Chouli's rough voice rang out from the courtyard. A seven-foot-tall, sturdy man walked out like a woman with two plates of delicious dishes and eagerly handed them to Xu Han's table.

Before Xu Han could regain his senses, Xuan'er rushed to the plate impatiently, picked up a piece of fish meat, and began to eat it in large mouthfuls.

"You eat too! Why are you watching Xuan'er eat!" Chu Chouli was so busy that his head was covered in sweat that he looked at Xu Han and asked.

Hearing this, Xu Han finally turned his head and looked at the attentive Chu Chouli. His eyes narrowed.

Apart from the unpleasant encounter in Chang'an City, he and Chu Chouli could only be considered to have met by chance. However, Xu Han was somewhat flattered by the man's concern for Xu Han.

It was only early in the morning, and he had already brought out a large amount of fish and meat to him. Thinking carefully, Xu Han had never received such courtesy in his entire eighteen years of life.

There was no such thing as love for no reason in this world. Furthermore, Chu Chouli's origins were very strange, so Xu Han could not be completely unsuspecting.

Perhaps there was a ghost in his heart. Under Xu Han's gaze, Chu Chouli instinctively shifted his gaze away and did not dare to look at Xu Han.

" Young Master Xu … What's going on?" He asked hesitantly.

"Big Brother Chu is so attentive. I'm a little flattered." Xu Han replied with narrowed eyes.

"Brother, what are you talking about? I am originally a hunter. Fortunately, Miss values taking in a writer's slave and serving Young Master Xu . These are all things that I, Chu, am supposed to do." Chu Chouli laughed, trying to muddle through.

"All hunters rely on their strength to earn their living. Whether it's drawing arrows or digging holes or burying thorns, it's all a matter of strength." However, he had underestimated Xu Han's abilities. At that moment, the youth's gaze landed on Chu Chouli's hands. "This kind of thing has been done a lot. Whether it's his palms or his fingers, they have to have thick calluses."

"But what about Big Brother Chu ?" Xu Han looked sideways at Chu Chouli.

At that moment, the sturdy man's expression changed and he instinctively withdrew his hands.

It was a pair of hands that did not match Chu Chouli's rough appearance. It had slender fingers and was as white as jade. Other than those wealthy people, most ordinary people would not have such a pair of clean hands.

"Tell me, who exactly are you? Why are you so familiar with Ye Hongjian ? Could it be that young miss' concubine?" Xu Han asked with a teasing smile on his face. "I didn't expect Miss Ye's taste to be so unique."

"Brat, you can't say this nonsense!" Hearing this, Chu Chouli instantly felt like a wild cat that had been trampled on by a painful foot, and his hair exploded. He stood up and hurriedly explained. "Yuan Guilong likes Hongjian very much. He thinks of her as his own. If he hears these rumors, he can't cut off my head with his broadsword."

" Yuan Guilong ?" Xu Han keenly caught the crux of Chu Chouli's words. His eyes narrowed as he asked, "Are you from the Tiance Prefecture ?"

Before Chu Chouli could respond to this question, Xu Han had an answer in his heart.

From Ye Hongjian's previous performance, it was not difficult to see that Ye Hongjian had a lot of connections with the Tiance Prefecture in private, and that Ye Hongjian was accepted into the Exquisite Pavilion, to some extent, it could be considered an alliance between the Tiance Prefecture and the Exquisite Pavilion. And this key person was Ye Hongjian.

How could such a person not be escorted by a decent expert?

Now, it seemed that the inconspicuous Chu Chouli in front of him was an expert arranged by the Tiance Prefecture …

"What? Don't I look like it?" Seeming to have read the suspicion in Xu Han's eyes, Chu Chouli slapped the stone table and asked in righteous indignation.

"Like, like, like." Since he was a member of the Tiance Prefecture , Xu Han relaxed the slight caution in his heart. He did not have the heart to argue with Chu Chouli, so he nodded repeatedly at that time. However, he quickly thought of something and looked at Chu Chouli doubtfully. "Since you were sent by the Tiance Prefecture to protect Ye Hongjian , then where were you when I fought with the Asura Envoy?"

"Eh" This question caused the anger on Chu Chouli's face to dissipate in an instant. His momentum plummeted, and he stuttered for a long time, unable to say anything. In the end, under Xu Han's increasingly suspicious gaze, he finally couldn't hold on, and then he said, "It's all because the daughter of Wu Lao San Wine in the town is really red and fragrant … I …"

Chu Chouli naturally didn't have the face to continue with these last words. Instead, he looked at Xu Han timidly with a face full of grievances towards his daughter-in-law.

Xu Han instantly felt a wave of nausea. He waved his hand, which could be considered as exposing this matter and was about to say something.

"Aiya, look at my brain. I made an appointment to work at the foot of the mountain early in the morning. I almost forgot. I have to go first." Chu Chouli's forehead was filled with sudden enlightenment as he said, "Aiya, look at my brain. I almost forgot. I have to go first."

As he spoke, before Xu Han could regain his senses, he was busy. Something poured out of the room and hurriedly left the room. Finally, he did not forget to remind Xu Han that it was good for his health to eat those dishes.

Seeing Chu Chouli leave with a somewhat ridiculous weight, Xu Han shook his head, wondering why the Policy Manor would send such a fellow to escort Ye Hongjian during the day.

Thinking like this, he picked up his chopsticks and wanted to taste the food before him.

But at that time, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside the room.

There seemed to be a lot of people coming, shouting words like thieves, thieves, or chickens and ducks.

Xu Han was stunned for a moment before looking at the food at his table again.

This was the Exquisite Pavilion. Chu Chouli had just arrived like him. Who could he make an appointment with?

And where did this table of chicken, duck, fish and meat come from?

Thinking of this, Xu Han suddenly felt his eyes turn black and he was unintentionally eating it.
