Chapter 438 Invitation
The third floor of Wanbao Building.

The room is decorated very elegantly. If there is too much furniture, it would seem burdensome, but if there is too little, it would seem lacking.

Now it’s neither more nor less, just right to make people feel shocked.

A small table and two futons.

Miss Jiang poured Chu Qing a cup of tea with an indifferent expression, and then sat quietly opposite him.

Chu Qing picked up the teacup, moved closer and smelled it. It smelled very fragrant.

But the next moment, he put down the teacup and looked at Miss Jiang:

“Miss Jiang invited me here, obviously not for tea or to redeem myself.

"If you have anything to say, please speak up."

Miss Jiang shook her head:

“I invited the leader to come here, both for tea and to redeem myself.

“I once said that the rules of Wanbaolou are iron laws.

“Once it is decided, it must be followed.

"Whether it's the owner of the building or anyone else in this building...

“No matter what means the other party used to cause that gambling game, I did lose.

"No matter what method the leader used, you did win. And you won me from the other side.

"In this case, I will pay the corresponding price to redeem my freedom.

"So, please make an offer, leader."

"But now, I have nothing else to ask for."

Chu Qing said:

"I really can't think of what I want, what should I do?"

Miss Jiang sighed:
"Then I will have no choice but to stay by the leader's side, serving tea and water, massaging his feet and back."

"I'm afraid I'll shorten my life if I let the dignified owner of Wanbao Tower massage my feet and back."

Chu Qing waved his hand, and his eyes swept around the room, landing on Miss Jiang's hand:
"What is the origin of that jade pendant?"

"Pure Heart Cold Jade."

Miss Jiang glanced at the jade pendant in her hand, which already had a crack, and said softly:
“There is an overseas wonder in the West Sea, called the Sky Waterfall Sea.

“The scenery here is strange and dangerous. If a ship approaches even a little, it will be smashed by the storm.

“But if you can successfully pass the outer blockade and go deeper, you will come to an island with four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

“We named it Four Seasons Island.

"The Qingxin Lengyu is produced from the glacier cold jade veins of Four Seasons Island. It is cold but not condensed, and can calm the mind and spirit. If you practice it regularly, you can greatly reduce the possibility of going astray.

“The leader wants this?

“To be honest, given my status, this item is not worthy of me.

"Wanbaolou has always been fair in its business."

"…Miss, your words always make me doubt that you don't want to redeem yourself at all."

Chu Qing asked:

"Why does this thing have cracks?"

"This is due to the overflow of my inner strength..."

Miss Jiang's expression was indifferent:

"For reasons I cannot tell you, I have almost no resistance to methods that confuse the mind.

“Just now, I wanted to force my way through the formation relying on the Qingxin Lengyu, but I still underestimated the power of the Qishen Iron.

“After I was knocked back, I felt dizzy and lost control of my internal energy, so I accidentally broke it.

“Although this item is rare, it is not a rare thing for our Wanbao Tower.

"If the leader wants it, I'll give him a few pieces."

"Then three dollars, as ransom."

Chu Qing said:

"If Miss Jiang feels that this is not enough, then Miss Jiang owes me a favor. If you have the chance to visit the Five Emperors City in Zhongzhou and the Wanbao Bank in the future, please don't pretend that you don't know me."

Miss Jiang's lips curled up into a faint smile. She didn't say anything, but took out the four treasures of the study.

After grinding the ink, she dipped it in ink and wrote.

It turned out to be an IOU for a favor...

She said that no matter when and where Chu Qing came to find her with this item in the future, she would unconditionally help Chu Qing do one thing.

The signature below is... Jiang Li.

It was also stamped with the seal of Wanbao Tower.

After blowing the ink dry, she handed it to Chu Qing:

"Please keep it, Master."

Chu Qing nodded, folded the paper and put it at his waist.

"Things between you and me are fair so far."

Miss Jiang said:
"The next thing is that I have to ask the leader for help."

"Girl, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Human power has its limits. The five-way heart protection array is not a long-term solution."

Miss Jiang said slowly:
“What I said before was just a delaying tactic.

"What's slowing down isn't the enemies outside, but the people's hearts inside the building."

People who came to attend the Wanbao Tower gathering came from all over the world, and they all suffered the same disaster here today. It was obvious that the other party came prepared.

Such a big event would definitely not be just for Jiang Li.

It's not just Wanbao Tower that is taken into account; naturally, the visitors from all over the world who inhabit Wanbao Tower cannot be left out.

"The [Weeping Soul Chaos Formation] is extraordinary, and the [Five Heart Protection Formation] can certainly protect you for a while, but it can't protect you forever.

“If the group of people outside really delay for ten days or half a month, the situation will inevitably fall into the worst situation.

"But I couldn't say that before. I had to give them confidence... Otherwise, if all the martial arts masters who were in desperate situations and had lost their composure gathered together, no one knew what crazy things they would do."

Jiang Li had a cold expression, and there wasn't much emotion in his tone when he talked about this matter.

It seems that the situation has already been clearly understood, and now it is just being stated objectively.

She paused here and looked at Chu Qing:

“There are three types of people in Wanbao Tower now.

“One type is people who really have no resistance to the [Weeping Souls and Chaos Gods Formation]. They are now in an extremely dangerous situation and can only rely on the [Five Heart Protection Formation] to stay clear-headed for the time being.

“But what if there is a problem with the five masters who are protecting the way?

“These people will be bewitched by the Weeping God Iron in the first place, and will either go crazy or become possessed... The situation will turn out to be out of control.

“The second type of people are like the leader of an alliance.

“Your martial arts are unrivaled and are not affected by the Weeping God Iron.

“Part of the reason we stayed here was that we wanted to wait and see what would happen, and part of us probably thought that this situation was very interesting.

"I even saw a master pretending to be the first type of person, playing around with the world."

Chu Qing smiled dumbly:
"What kind of people are the third type of people Miss Jiang mentioned?"

"Someone like me."

Jiang Li said:

"People who want everything to return to normal but are powerless to change the status quo and can only pin their hopes on others."

Chu Qing raised his eyebrows: "So..."

“So, I would like to ask the leader and several other masters to come forward and break the [Weeping Soul Chaos God Formation]!”

Jiang Li said softly:

"The [Weeping Soul Chaos God Formation] uses the Weeping God Iron as its core, stimulated by the internal force of a master, and supplemented by the formation to enhance its power.

“It is not difficult to break this formation, but the difficult part is whether you can withstand the power of the Weeping God Iron.

“But this is not difficult for you great masters.

"In other words, the best way to break this situation now is to ask everyone to stop standing by and watching..."

Chu Qing nodded: "That makes sense, but it doesn't seem to be of much use if you tell it to me alone."

“So, I will talk to you one by one in detail.

"Also, I will never ask you to take action without any benefit."

When Jiang Li reached here, he clapped his hands gently, and someone came in from outside the door.

Chu Qing looked back and saw an old acquaintance, Yi Hai...

In her hands she held a tray with a few books on it.

"This is the reward I prepared for the leader."

Jiang Li pointed at the tray in Yi Hai's hand.

Yi Hai just put something on the table. Chu Qing took a glance and saw that they were all the martial arts secrets he had asked about before, related to the seven emotions and six desires.

There are five books in total.

Chu Qing looked at these secret books. If the old man had not pointed out the key before, Chu Qing would have agreed without hesitation.

But now that Chu Qing has understood the biggest problem with the Tianxiang Nose Body, she knows... Even if there are many martial arts related to the seven emotions and six desires, even if Chu Qing really created a martial art that can stimulate gentle emotions, it will be of no use to her.

Because she is not an emotionless person.

It's just because of the natural fragrance that isolates the inside and the outside.

If the inside and outside are not connected, it is difficult to express emotions. It is like there is a fierce tiger in the heart but ice outside. There is no harmony between the inside and the outside, and the yin and yang are out of balance.

Therefore, these secrets not only fail to help Wenrou break the deadlock, but will make her already rich inner world even more turbulent.

These things that cannot be expressed accumulate, and the more you practice these martial arts, the more they become like oil boiling over a raging fire.

Ultimately promoting a gentle death.

However, after Chu Qing hesitated for a moment, he smiled and nodded:

"Okay, you convinced me.

"But whether others are willing to help depends on Miss Jiang's ability."

"It's natural."

Jiang Li nodded:

"It's good enough as long as the leader agrees. At least it's the first step to success."

Chu Qing stood up:

"In that case, I'll take my leave."

"Master, please."

Jiang Li also stood up to see the guest off, and told Yi Hai to invite the others to come up one by one.

Yi Hai then took the opportunity to send Chu Qing out the door, packed up the secret book and asked Chu Qing to put it away.

The two walked side by side until they reached the dressing room on the third floor and then on the second floor. Chu Qing suddenly spoke:
"Miss Jiang told me that due to some special reasons, she has no resistance to methods that confuse the mind.

"Is this true or false?"

Yi Hai was stunned for a moment, then said:

"I dare not make irresponsible comments on the master's affairs."

Chu Qing said lightly:
"According to the relationship with Wanbaolou, you can buy this information."

"Wanbaolou sells everything except this news."

Yi Hai lowered his head in silence.

Chu Qing did not take it as an offense, but said thoughtfully:

“Everything in the world, once it arrives at Wanbao Tower, will have a price.

"And a seemingly insignificant piece of news could actually make Wanbaolou break its own rules?
“Or… this isn’t about breaking the rules, but there are iron rules above the rules?

"The iron rule that can override the rules of Wanbao Tower must involve the foundation of Wanbao Tower?"

Yi Hai's face became paler and paler, and finally he bit his lower lip and said:

"Please, leader, stop asking."

Chu Qing looked at her deeply:
"it is good."

As expected, he didn't say anything more. After going downstairs with Yi Hai, he just stood aside quietly.

When Huangfu Yixiao saw him coming down, he quickly came over to ask what Jiang Li had said.

Chu Qing did not answer, but just crossed his arms and closed his eyes to rest.

Huangfu Yixiao asked for a long time, but there was no response, so he stopped asking for trouble.

Then Yi Hai invited Jia She to go upstairs. Chu Qing raised his eyes and glanced at him, as if thinking about something.

The holy monk Kāśyapa came for the Jade Buddha Vairocana.

This item is now in Wanbao Tower. I think it won't be difficult to convince this monk...

In fact, with Jiang Li's identity, it would not be difficult for him to convince any master in Wanbao Tower.

Anyone who comes to Wanbao Tower must have something to ask for.

If you have something you want and you can cater to their needs, you can always get a chance.

This was indeed the case. Jiashe came down quickly and glanced at Chu Qing:
"Did the young donor agree?"

"Yes."

Chu Qing nodded.

"In that case, let's help you out."

Kassapa bowed eleven times and then stood aside in silence.

Huangfu Yixiao scratched his head and ears:
"What the hell are you talking about?"

Chu Qing smiled:
"You'll know in a minute."

Yi Hai came to Chu Qing at this time and handed him a small box.

Chu Qing took it, opened it and took a look. Inside were three pieces of Qingxin Lengyu.

He took out a piece and held it in his hand. A chill flowed from the jade pendant into his heart, making his mind clear. The sound of [Weeping Souls and Chaos Gods Formation] in his ears seemed to be much smaller.

He nodded, handed the jade pendant back, and put the box in his arms:
"Thank Miss Jiang for me."

Yi Hai shook his head:

"The host has something to say, no need to thank me."

Then she went to ask Bai Sheng to go upstairs.

Bai Sheng came down faster, and found Chu Qing as soon as he came back:

"Sir, the owner of Wanbao Tower asked us to help, but I was not interested in the conditions she proposed.

"But I heard that the young master would also join in the fight, so I agreed."

Chu Qing nodded but said nothing.

Yi Hai was seen coming and going, inviting these experts to go upstairs. After they came downstairs, a few people gathered together and whispered to each other.

Soon, after the last nun from Bodhi Temple came down, no one went upstairs anymore.

But Chu Qing looked at Huangfu Yixiao who was confused:
"She didn't even let you go upstairs?"

"…If you don't want to go, then don't go. What's the big deal?"

Huangfu snorted with a smile:
"Sooner or later, I will let that bitch know how powerful I am."

"Really? I just don't know how powerful Master Huangfu is?"

Jiang Li's voice came from the stairs at this time. Huangfu Yixiao turned around to look at her, but he was not afraid:
"What on earth are you talking about?"

Jiang Li said nothing, but took out a scroll from his arms and threw it to Huangfu Yixiao.

Huangfu Yixiao opened it and took a look, thinking:
"You want us to take action? No... You invited them up and must have given them benefits, so why didn't you invite me?"

"Then what kind of benefits do you think I should give you in order to ask you to help me?"

"..."

Huangfu Yixiao sighed:
"Forget it, let's talk about it later..."

"What Master Huangfu holds in his hand is the battle formation diagram."

Jiang Li looked at a few people and said softly:

"Then I'll have to trouble you all with this matter. We look forward to your return with great victory."
