Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

Does this kind of store really not lose money?

Although the vegetables and meats inside are low-grade spiritual food, they still cost quite a bit of money.

On the way back, Ao Xiaoxiao was very puzzled and asked Su Li.

Su Li didn't hide anything. After all, a rich woman like her wouldn't even look at such a small business. So she enthusiastically analyzed everything for her, from the supply of ingredients to the amount each person could eat in two hours.

Although Ao Xiaoxiao only had a vague understanding in the end.

But Ao Xiaoxiao knew one thing! That was that Su Li and the diners all made a killing!

But here's the question... who really lost out?

On the fifth day, Ao Xiaoxiao went to have her fortune told with Su Li. Fortune telling was so much fun...

On the sixth day, Ao Xiaoxiao followed Su Li to the brothel to listen to music.

The girls at Chunfeng Tower were dressed in flamboyant clothes, twisting and turning, which made me feel shy and strange, but I still wanted to look at them a little longer.

On the seventh day, Su Li went to visit Madam Zhao of the Sword Hall, and Ao Xiaoxiao habitually followed along. This Madam Zhao is so beautiful! She has such a great presence!

On the eighth day, Ao Xiaoxiao went with Su Li to see Qin Sisi. It was only a fleeting glimpse, but Ao Xiaoxiao saw Qin Sisi's true face. That night, Qin Sisi's image was stuck in her mind and she couldn't get it out of her head.

On the ninth day, Su Li took Ao Xiaoxiao to the clothing street in Qianling Holy Land.

Upon seeing these strangely styled clothes she had never seen before, Ao Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up immediately.

Although these clothes look rather strange, they are all very beautiful...

Day 10... Day 11...

For more than a month in a row.

During this month-long period, Su Li took Ao Xiaoxiao to explore the entire Qianling Holy Land.

It was another beautiful morning. When Ao Xiaoxiao flew to Feathered Peak as usual, she was stunned for a moment...

huh?

What am I here for?

What was I originally here for?

Looking at the courtyard on Feathered Peak in front of her, Ao Xiaoxiao fell into deep thought...

The maid following behind Ao Xiaoxiao shook her head.

It seems the young lady has finally noticed...

Actually, she had wanted to remind her mistress earlier.

But seeing how happy her young mistress was, she decided to let it go.

"No! This can't go on! I'm going to duel that civilian!"

Ao Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and walked angrily toward Su Li's courtyard like a little hen.

Ao Xiaoxiao's ultimate goal in coming to Qianling Holy Land this time was not to duel with Su Li; the duel was merely a means to an end.

He wanted to ruin his image in Su Li's eyes by dueling with her, and thus make Su Li hate him!

It even made Su Li feel ashamed whenever she saw him because she had lost to him!

When it came time for the ceremony, he had lost to her. What right did he have to take her as his maid?

But what have I been doing these past few days?

"Bang bang bang!"

Ao Xiaoxiao clenched her little fists and angrily knocked on Su Li's courtyard gate.

"Su Li! You come out here! I'm not going to play today! I'm not going to eat anything delicious! I want to duel with you!"

"You've managed to distract me for so many days, so come out here, come out..."

Just as Ao Xiao was halfway through her story, Yinling opened the door while holding the little white snake.

"Sister Ao, what's wrong?" Yinling rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"Silver Bell Sister, I want to see your senior brother." Ao Xiaoxiao pouted, looking extremely aggrieved.

"Senior brother?"

Silver Bell blinked.

"But my senior brother left early this morning."

"Huh? Where did he go?"

"It seems like..." Yinling thought for a moment, "It seems like it's about going to the Dragon Palace to attend Jackie Chan's ceremony..."

Chapter 323 Is it your sweetheart?

There are still six months until the Dragon Ceremony at the Four Seas Dragon Palace.

But Su Li set off ahead of schedule.

Su Li was originally going to go with Jiang Ningzhi.

However, Jiang Ningzhi has not yet returned to the Holy Land.

But that's alright.

The Holy Land of Qianling has informed Jiang Ningzhi via a flying sword.

Finally, Jiang Ningzhi also received a message from the flying sword.

Jiang Ningzhi replied, saying she would go directly there and wait for Su Li in Shanfeng City.

Shanfeng City is located on the shortest route for Su Li to reach the Dragon Palace.

At this moment, the person accompanying Su Li was none other than Madam Zhao of the Sword Hall.

It wasn't because Lady Zhao was also going to the Dragon Palace to attend the ceremony.

Instead, Su Li had promised Madam Zhao that she would go with her to Henyi Sect to visit Zhao Lingxue.

I was supposed to go a long time ago, but I kept putting it off until now.

Su Li calculated that going to Henyi Sect to see Zhao Lingxue and then to the Dragon Palace to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony was just the right amount of time, with even ten days to spare.

As for escaping Ao Xiaoxiao's duel...

To be honest, Su Li just thought it was something to do on the side.

Su Li was not flustered at all about Ao Xiaoxiao's duel.

After spending so many days together, Su Li felt that if Ao Xiaoxiao hadn't been accompanied by maids and bodyguards, he could have really tricked her into having a baby dragon for him.

No, it's a litter of baby dragons...

As for whether he'll encounter Ao Xiaoxiao in the Dragon Palace...

Definitely.

But... with so many people around, it won't be easy for her to make things difficult for herself.

After all, if you don't give face to your guests, then the Dragon Palace is not giving face to itself, which is very disgraceful for the dragons.

"Is Ningzhi waiting for you, Xiaoli, in Shanfeng City?"

In the air, on the way to Henyi Sect, Madam Zhao asked with a smile.

"Hmm."

Su Li nodded.

The journey from Qianling Holy Land to Henyi Sect by continuous flight would take about ten days, even with Madam Zhao using a second-grade immortal ship.

If Su Li were to use his own dilapidated boat to fly, it would probably take twenty days...

After glancing at Su Li, Madam Zhao seemed to have thought of something, her eyes sparkling: "This time, His Majesty only sent you and Ningzhi, Xiao Li. It feels like there's an intention to matchmake you."

"Matchmaking?"

Su Li was taken aback for a moment, then quickly shook her head.

"Madam Zhao is overthinking it. It's just that the Qianling Holy Land only has two spots, and Ningzhi has to go. My reason is also rather special. The Dragon Palace wants to use me to resolve past grievances with the Qianling Holy Land."

"I see."

Madam Zhao smiled slightly and stopped talking about the topic.

The still-charming Madam Zhao gently rolled up her sleeves and poured Su Li a cup of tea.

Su Li picked it up casually without saying thank you.

After all, Su Li and Madam Zhao's relationship wasn't so distant anymore.

"Xiao Li, in your heart, do you think Ling Xue is prettier, or Her Highness the Holy Maiden?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Just as Su Li took a sip of tea, Madam Zhao asked a question, causing Su Li to choke...

"Xiao Li, drink slowly, don't rush."

Madam Zhao got up and walked to Su Li's side, gently patting Su Li's back, and took out a handkerchief to wipe Su Li's mouth.

"Ahem, Madam Zhao, I can do it myself..."

Su Li politely declined, but accepted the handkerchief herself.

He handed over the handkerchief, looking into Madam Zhao's worried eyes.

To be honest, if Su Li didn't know that Madam Zhao genuinely treated her as a junior and truly cared about her, Su Li felt she might have been mistaken...

The illusion of being a traitor like Cao Cao...

However, Zhao Xiongtuo is really bold, letting Madam Zhao and himself go to Henyi Sect alone.

But then again, who can blame me for being a virtuous and upright person?

"Xiao Li, are you feeling better?" Madam Zhao handed over a peeled orange.

"I feel a little better." Su Li swallowed in one gulp.

"Between Lingxue and Ningzhi, which one do you think is prettier?"

"..."

Su Li's brows twitched slightly.

Why do I always feel that Madam Zhao attaches extra importance to this issue?

Looking into Madam Zhao's expectant, bright eyes, Su Li felt as if something was stuck in her throat, unable to be uttered:

"Actually, I think Lingxue and Ningzhi are both extremely beautiful."

However, Ningzhi and Lingxue are different in their beauty.

Lingxue's beauty lies in her agility, liveliness, and loveliness.

Ningzhi's beauty lies in her aloofness.

There isn't much to compare between the two; they are simply different styles.

So, when Madam Zhao asked me who was more beautiful, she was indeed putting me in a difficult position.

Madam Zhao's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up: "Xiao Li, you really have a sweet tongue. In that case, I won't make things difficult for you."

"By the way, I heard that our trip to the Henyi Sect coincided with the Sword Pavilion's grand ceremony. Xiao Li, would you like to participate?"

"A grand gift from Jian Ge?"

"The Sword Pavilion Grand Ceremony is for all the new generation disciples of the Henyi Sect to challenge the Sword Pavilion. Each Sword Pavilion is guarded by someone. If you reach a certain level, there will be many rewards."

The higher the floor you climb, the richer the reward.

Legend has it that in the top pavilion, there is a sword, the most prized treasure of the Henyi Sect. Anyone who passes through the top pavilion can take this sword.

"Then are we allowed to participate?"

"of course can."

Madam Zhao smiled, making Su Li almost shout "Cao the Traitor!"
