บท 547: Thrash to Concede

When Chu Li returned to Tianshu Courtyard, Xiao Shi was admiring the moon in the courtyard.

Xiao Shi turned and glanced at him as he was entering the courtyard. Her eyes were glinting. "You're always in a hurry from day to night. What were you doing?"

"Resolving some matters in the Secret Guardians Hall," answered Chu Li.

Xiao Shi pointed to the opposite side of the stone table.

Chu Li sat down and placed the invitation card on the stone table. Xiao Shi picked it up for a look, curling her alluring red lips as she inspected its contents.

Yang Xu brought over a teapot and a few cups made of jade and poured him a cup full of tea.

Chu Li smiled and thanked her. He heaved a sigh. "Finally, it's done and dusted."

"Why are you getting so involved with the matters of the Secret Guardians Hall?" Xiao Shi said in bewilderment. "They're not your priorities."

Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "They'll be useful in the future."
