Qu Feiyan thought for a moment and said, "If you dare to use people as fertilizer, won't the officials in your Suzhou city do anything about it?"
Upon hearing this, the boat owner said with a bitter face, "At first, we did report it to the authorities, but by the time the officials arrived, everyone had turned into fertilizer. In addition, the Mantuo Manor paid some money to bribe the authorities, so they let it go. As a result, over time, no one in Suzhou dared to come to the Mantuo Manor anymore."
After understanding the reason, Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I naturally won't force anyone. Don't worry, shopkeeper."
The other party was someone who made a living by boat, so it was perfectly normal for them to be afraid of the fierce and evil.
Chu Qinghe wasn't the kind of person who was rude and ruthless, so naturally he wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for her.
After all, life isn't easy for anyone.
After understanding the reason, Chu Qinghe glanced at the building leaning against the lake in the distance, and then slowly said, "In that case, I'll trouble you to wait here for a while, innkeeper."
The owner of the large ship nodded repeatedly and said, "Then I will have someone lower the small boat and take you gentlemen there."
Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "There's no need for such trouble."
After saying "Let's go!" to the girls, Chu Qinghe took a step forward as he rapidly circulated his internal energy.
The next second, Chu Qinghe, who was just on the deck, appeared in the air several feet away, walking on air.
As he moved, Chu Qinghe's clothes swayed constantly, and under the glow of the setting sun, he exuded an ethereal and otherworldly aura.
Seeing this, Shuimu Yinji and Lianxing and the other girls also used their lightness skills to leap up from the deck and follow Chu Qinghe towards the distant Mantuo Manor.
The ship's owner on deck was astonished as he watched Chu Qinghe and his companions, who were moving swiftly towards the distant Mantuo Manor like immortals.
But after a few breaths, the ship's owner, realizing the situation, understood that Chu Qinghe and the others all possessed martial arts skills.
For a moment, when the owner of the large ship looked at Chu Qinghe and his group, he couldn't help but feel a sense of envy and awe.
Ten miles might take a lot of time for an ordinary person, but for Chu Qinghe and his group, it was only a matter of a hundred breaths.
When the group landed on the lake, the maids of Mantuo Manor who were guarding the entrance to the manor were startled and drew their swords in unison.
But the next second, when they saw the exceptionally handsome Chu Qinghe and the Water Mother Yin Ji and others, the maids were stunned.
With his gaze fixed on the maids, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "My name is Zhao Shanhe. I have come to discuss something with you today. I hope you will inform me of your presence."
His gentle tone and humble, polite demeanor eased the expressions of the maids slightly.
After exchanging glances, and then looking at Chu Qinghe and his companions, whose appearances, demeanors, and temperaments were all extraordinary, one of the slightly older maids nodded and said, "Please wait a moment."
After saying this, the maidservant stared at Chu Qinghe for a moment before quickly turning around and rushing into the manor.
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe smiled and gestured to the remaining maids in front of him.
Looking at the smile on Chu Qinghe's handsome face, the maids suddenly felt that the world seemed to brighten up because of Chu Qinghe's smile.
For a moment, they were all captivated and unconsciously lowered their heads.
Although the men were still holding the hilts of their longswords, the tips of the swords had unconsciously touched the ground, leaving them completely unprepared.
The women were already used to this situation and waited quietly with Chu Qinghe.
After an incense stick had burned for a while, the sky darkened a bit more, accompanied by a series of slightly chaotic footsteps.
More than a hundred armed servants rushed out of Mantuo Manor and surrounded the area.
Faced with this scene, Chu Qinghe and his companions glanced at these people casually before looking away.
As the servants of Mantuo Manor rushed out and surrounded Chu Qinghe and his companions, some servants stepped aside, and another dozen or so people slowly emerged from among them.
The woman at the head of the group was a middle-aged beauty dressed in bright red silk, and looked to be under forty years old.
Although her face bears the marks of time, she is still beautiful and elegant, and her current appearance alone can be described as outstanding.
If she were ten or twenty years younger, although she couldn't compare to Yaoyue, Shuimu Yinji, or the other women, she could still be considered a beauty.
However, the woman's eyebrows and eyes carried a fierce and cold air, giving people a feeling that she was difficult to get along with.
She is the current owner of Mantuo Manor, Madam Wang, whose real name is Li Qingluo.
Just as Chu Qinghe and the others looked at Li Qingluo, without the obstruction of the servants in front of her, Li Qingluo's gaze also fell on Chu Qinghe and the others.
When her gaze fell upon Chu Qinghe, a thought inevitably surfaced in Li Qingluo's mind.
"Is there really a man in this world who can be so handsome?"
Surprised, Li Qingluo's steps froze for a moment.
But the next second, when her gaze shifted and swept over the women beside Chu Qinghe, including Shuimu Yinji and Lianxing, Li Qingluo's surprise only increased.
As his gaze swept over the girls, a hint of envy and jealousy unconsciously flashed in his eyes.
A few breaths later, Li Qingluo, who had withdrawn her gaze, gently shifted her eyes to the distant lake.
Looking at the large ships far away in the distance, and then glancing at the lakeside of Mantuo Villa.
