"What letter?" Guo Mulin was annoyed, "What are you worrying about!"
Chu Li said, "Seven Grandmasters have been dispatched. I think Lu Yurong is here too. They won't let this go easily since a Grandmaster is dead. There are only these few of us, we will definitely die … Moreover, this is a good opportunity to kill Lu Yurong."
Guo Mulin touched his wrist and scoffed, "You have quite a lot of vitality!"
He did not expect the medicine to be so strong. Although he had consumed a few spirit pills in one go, it was not enough to make a dying person so energetic.
Siao Shi frowned and nodded, "Qingshan, you go."
"Yes, Lady!" Hai Qingshan closed fist saluted.
"Lady, let me do it!" Zhao Qingshan said, "I can send Chu Li back."
"… Alright." Siao Shi looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li quickly said, "Third Lady!"
Siao Shi looked at him quietly.
Chu Li said, "Senior Zhao Qingshan can't leave. I don't know when Lu Yurong will come!"
"What about you?" Siao Shi asked.
Chu Li pondered and shook his head, "I can't leave either."
"Oh?" Siao Shi looked interested.
Chu Li said, "I have a deep grudge with the Ren Public House. If I leave Lady's side, they will kill me immediately!"
Siao Shi smiled, "They want to kill you more?"
"I'm afraid so." Chu Li nodded helplessly.
Siao Shi smiled, "So you're afraid of death too."
"I'm afraid of being killed for being useless." Chu Li said, "If I stay with Lady Siao Shi, there will be many seniors around. If I leave their protection, Lu Yurong will definitely kill me!"
Guo Mulin asked curiously, "Why do you have such a big grudge with Lu Yurong?"
Chu Li smiled bitterly.
Zhao Qingshan smiled and shook his head.
"Elder Zhao, you know?" Guo Mulin stared at him, "Hurry up and tell me!"
Zhao Qingshan smiled, "Didn't you destroy the Ren Public House's prestige a while ago?"
"White Stone Town!" Hai Qingshan blurted out.
Zhao Qingshan looked at Chu Li and smiled, "White Stone Town killed twenty-four Innate Masters. Young Chu Li was the one who started it. Do you think Lu Yurong wants to kill him?"
"She wants to tear him apart!" Mulin nodded. "Now that I've fallen into Lu Yurong's hands, I don't think it'll be easy for me to die. She'll torture me for a while!"
Chu Li nodded.
"So you're a meritorious person," Siao Shi said with a smile, "Alright then, why don't you follow me, Old Guo?"
"Hmm, he's right. He has to follow us and take care of him at all times." Mulin scoffed. "His injuries are too serious!"
Siao Shi turned her head and said, "Qingshan, go back and tell big brother about what happened here. Listen to his orders."
"If I leave, what about here?" Hai Qingshan asked worriedly.
The Lady needed to be served, and the six elders and High Official Guo were not suited to serve others. In addition, there was Chu Li, who needed to be served even more. Without him around, it was hard to imagine what they would do.
"Just go!" Mulin scoffed, "Do you think we'll starve to death without you?"
Hai Qingshan looked at Siao Shi.
Siao Shi smiled and said, "Go, come back quickly."
"… Yes." Hai Qingshan fist saluted and looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li waved his hand with difficulty.
Hai Qingshan leaned over curiously.
Chu Li lowered his voice. "Don't go too fast. Be careful of being intercepted."
"I know." Hai Qingshan said.
He used his Light-body Technique and dashed away. Soon, he entered the forest.
It was not a peaceful journey. They had to guard against the Ren Public House's attack. Riding a horse would be too obvious and easily exposed. They had to send the news back as soon as possible and get reinforcements. If the Ren Public House attacked again, the Lady would be in danger!
Zhao Qingshan said, "Lady, let's go somewhere else."
Siao Shi nodded slightly. "Can Chu Li move, Old Guo?"
"Slower." Mulin said, "Unfortunately, the carriage was damaged by Chu Li!"
Chu Li smiled embarrassedly.
Mulin stared at him and turned his head. "Elder Zhao, hurry up with the carriage!"
Zhao Qingshan turned around and glided away. Soon, the carriage arrived. The remaining horses were also brought over. The eight horses ran in eight different directions to divert the enemy's attention.
Chu Li sighed. They were all veterans in the martial arts world. They were experienced.
—
Without the carriage, the carriage became a flatbed. Chu Li lay on the soft brocade quilt. He closed his eyes and absorbed the spiritual force from all directions to nourish his body. Coupled with the surging heat from his lower abdomen, his body recovered quickly.
After walking for an hour, Chu Li suddenly said, "Lady, they're here again!"
"The Ren Public House?" Siao Shi opened her eyes.
She was sitting on Chu Li's left with her eyes closed.
Chu Li nodded.
Mulin sat on his right and frowned. "How did you know?"
"Intuition."
Siao Shi tilted her head and looked at him.
Mulin said, "Elder Zhao, is someone coming?"
Zhao Qingshan nodded slowly. "We need to find a place to hide!"
With the Lady around, they could not escape. They could only fight. Unfortunately, Hai Qingshan would not be able to make it in time. It was a tough battle. Fortunately, they killed the Grandmaster. Otherwise, they had no chance of winning.
"There's a cave over there!" Chu Li pointed at the mountain next to him.
"Brother Guo, bring the Lady and young Chu Li there. We'll lure them away!" Zhao Qingshan turned his head. He could only trust Chu Li now.
"… Alright!" Mulin nodded helplessly.
Chu Li did not want to come up with any ideas. He did not want others to think that he was smart. However, he could not take it anymore. Zhao Qingshan was a Grandmaster but he did not have the talent to deal with a crisis.
He coughed lightly. "Elder Zhao, if they see that we're not here, they'll definitely send someone to search for us. They'll find us soon."
"That's true." Zhao Qingshan frowned.
With Chu Li's reminder, he knew that his decision was wrong. The three of them did not have any power to fight back. If they were found, they would definitely die. It was better to follow him. At least they could protect themselves.
"Let's go together." Chu Li said.
"Hmm … Yes, yes!" Zhao Qingshan nodded. "Let's go together!"
Mulin shook his head. "Elder Zhao, you're far from being smart!"
Zhao Qingshan said impatiently, "You're not any better! We're the boss, not the second! "
Siao Shi looked at Chu Li and said softly, "Then let's go up the mountain."
Everyone sped up. When the carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain, Mulin carried Chu Li on his back and supported Siao Shi. Soon, they were halfway up the mountain. They looked around but did not find any cave.
Chu Li pointed on Mulin's back. "Over there."
Mulin looked over and widened his eyes for a while. "There's no cave! I say, Young Chu, have you been here before? "
"You'll see it when you peel off the vines!" Chu Li said.
Zhao Qingshan followed the direction he pointed and came to the front of the stone wall. The dense vines covered the stone. It was almost impossible to see the color of the stone.
He pulled at the dense and thick vines. Suddenly, he stopped and laughed. "There really is a cave! I'll go in and have a look! "
He leaped up and entered the cave. After a while, he popped his head out and waved at the others.
Mulin chuckled and said, "Not bad, Chu Li. There really is!"
Mulin supported Siao Shi. There was a layer of sweat on her fair and smooth forehead. Her face was pale. She looked lovely and pitiful.
Zhao Qingshan rearranged the vines to cover the cave. They walked for about ten meters and reached the end. They looked for a place to sit down.
"Young Chu, if they really find us, we'll all die!" Mulin turned his head and looked around. He shook his head. "It's like catching a turtle in a jar!"
Chu Li said, "They won't be able to find us here."
"That might not be true!" Mulin scoffed.
Zhao Qingshan quickly waved his hand, signaling him not to speak.
Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror saw that there were fourteen people at the foot of the mountain. There were six Grandmasters and eight Innate Masters.
They followed the traces of the carriage and did not stop.
Chu Li let out a sigh of relief. Under such circumstances, he could only take a gamble. If they found them, it would be a dead end.
