Sun Yucheng, the other two elders, and the four young ladies were dumbfounded as they watched Chu Li kill the people from Mysterious Pavilion with ten slashes of his blade.
Chu Li glided back to Sun Yucheng's side, gave him a fist salute, and quietly stood behind him.
The four young ladies were still maintaining the sword formation, but they stopped moving and looked at him in shock.
Sun Yucheng recovered from his shock and smiled as he clapped his hands. "Good job!"
Elder Su and Elder Ren were both shocked and secretly smiled bitterly.
Zhao Dahe's martial arts was truly amazing, but they had become sworn enemies, and Mysterious Pavilion was determined to kill them.
Even if Zhao Dahe was powerful, he would not be able to get away with it if the four of them went against Mysterious Pavilion. After all, a powerful dragon could not oppress a snake in its own territory.
"Thank you, Young Master!" Senior Sister Liu sheathed her sword and gave him a fist salute.
Chu Li returned a fist salute with a smile on his ugly face, but he did not say a word.
He was not interested in these women and did not want to steal Sun Yucheng's limelight.
Sun Yucheng carefully sized up the four women.
Senior Sister Liu had an oval face, fair and delicate skin, almond-shaped eyes, peach cheeks, and cherry lips. She looked lovely and heroic.
The other three young ladies were beautiful. One was obedient and sweet, one was charming and playful, and the last one was adorable and charming. They were all rare beauties, and Sun Yucheng was full of praise for them as he felt that it was a feast for his eyes.
The Li Dynasty's Emperor was famous for being a playboy, but he did not have many concubines in the palace. He mostly looked for women outside, so Sun Yucheng had not seen many beauties.
The Li Dynasty's Emperor was passionate, but he did not like it when other people were passionate. Instead, he demanded that his children be devoted to each other. The princes were only allowed to marry one wife and were not allowed to marry more than one concubine.
The princes would not disobey the Emperor if they were interested in the throne. They could only pretend to be devoted to each other to win their father's favor.
Sun Yucheng gave a fist salute and smiled. "I'm Sun Yucheng. Greetings, ladies. How are your injuries?"
"Greetings, Young Master Sun. Thank you for your help. We've only suffered minor injuries." Senior Sister Liu gave a fist salute and looked at Chu Li. "May I know who this Young Master is?"
"Oh, he's my protector. His surname is Zhao." Sun Yucheng smiled.
Although Zhao Dahe was awe-inspiring, he was still his bodyguard. Zhao Dahe felt that he was tall and strong, and his body was emitting a dazzling radiance. No one dared to look at him directly.
The four women looked at Chu Li in surprise, sizing him up curiously.
"Young Master Sun really has a good bodyguard!" Senior Sister Liu said with a smile.
Sun Yucheng smiled and said, "I'm the protector of the house. May I know where the four young ladies are headed to?"
Chu Li remained silent and had no intention of speaking.
Senior Martial Sister Liu said, "I'm Liu Di. We're disciples of the Moon Palace, and we're on our way back."
"So, they're disciples of the Vast Cold Palace!" Sun Yucheng nodded in realization. It was no wonder that these women were so beautiful. They were from the Vast Cold Palace!
He wanted to understand the situation of the Zheng Dynasty's martial arts world before coming to the Zheng Dynasty.
There were four major sects in the Zheng Dynasty's martial arts world, but the Vast Cold Palace was not one of them. It was just a first-rate faction, but it was very famous because the disciples of the Vast Cold Palace were all women, and each of them was very good-looking.
These beautiful women would never marry for life. More importantly, the Vast Cold Palace's heart technique had the effect of retaining one's youth. Although it could not achieve eternal youth, the oldest one would not look more than forty years old.
Everyone in the Zheng Dynasty knew about these strange things about the Vast Cold Palace.
Any woman would be interested in the Vast Cold Palace's heart technique. Unfortunately, the Vast Cold Palace's heart technique had a flaw — it required a woman to be a virgin. Once she lost her virginity, the Vast Cold Palace's heart technique would be destroyed, and she would no longer be able to maintain her beauty.
For ordinary women, the Vast Cold Palace's heart technique was both loved and hated.
Unfortunately, the Vast Cold Palace only had over a hundred disciples, so they were not very powerful.
Elder Su looked at Sun Yucheng's expression, and it was obvious that he was fascinated by the four of them. He said helplessly, "Young Master, we should leave now. We still have business to attend to."
"Oh, yes, yes, we still have business to attend to." Sun Yucheng came back to his senses and quickly smiled. "Alright then, Miss Liu, we'll take our leave first!"
"Young Master, are you not going to the Vast Cold Palace as a guest?" Liu Di smiled. "It's only right that we repay you for saving our lives. You can stay in the Vast Cold Palace for a while."
"This …" Sun Yucheng hesitated.
He yearned for the Vast Cold Palace as it was rare for him to have such an opportunity. The Vast Cold Palace did not entertain men, so it would be a great blessing if he could have the honor to visit and meet the beauties of the Vast Cold Palace.
"Young Master!" Elder Ren said in a deep voice.
"Oh, alright, we really have something to attend to, so we can't go." Sun Yucheng said regretfully, "Miss Liu, let's visit the Vast Cold Palace in the future!"
"Yes, the Vast Cold Palace is always open to you, Young Master." Liu Di smiled sweetly.
"Alright," Sun Yucheng answered in disappointment.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! " All of a sudden, the three women spat out a mouthful of blood. They looked exhausted, and their bodies trembled so much that they could barely stand. They only did not collapse because of their swords.
Sun Yucheng was shocked and quickly asked, "What's going on?"
Liu Di turned to look at the three women and shook her head. "It's nothing, they used a secret skill."
"Ladies, you should hurry up and treat your injuries," Sun Yucheng said.
Liu Di smiled. "Yes, we'll be fine after resting for a few days."
"But …" Sun Yucheng was worried. "What if the Mysterious Pavilion comes looking for you again in this situation?"
"They won't," Liu Di said.
Sun Yucheng said with a serious expression, "As far as I know, there are many strange techniques in the Mysterious Pavilion. There are also many strange people who are good at tracking, so you may not be able to escape. … How about this, we'll escort you to the Vast Cold Palace!"
"Young Master!" Elder Su cried out.
Elder Ren glared at him in dissatisfaction.
On the other hand, Chu Li maintained an aloof attitude and did not say a word. He felt that it was better this way because he could kill more Mysterious Pavilion protectors.
Sun Yucheng did not look at them because he felt that these two old men did not know how to be tender and protective of the fairer sex. Hence, he looked at Chu Li. "Brother Zhao, what do you think?"
Chu Li replied, "Alright."
Sun Yucheng smiled in satisfaction. "Alright, Brother Zhao is kinder. It's decided then!"
He turned to glare at the two old men.
Elder Su and Elder Ren looked at him helplessly. Elder Su said, "Young Master, if you continue to be entangled with the Mysterious Pavilion, you'll really mess things up."
If he killed all of them this time, the people from the Mysterious Pavilion would not be able to catch up to him even if they came after him. However, if he stayed with these four young ladies, he would definitely be pursued by the Mysterious Pavilion. The Mysterious Pavilion was not a pushover, and they would definitely kill them.
Chu Li said, "We'll just kill them when they come!"
"Ah …" Elder Su and Elder Ren widened their eyes and opened their mouths, but they only sighed helplessly.
They recalled the martial arts that Chu Li had used to kill ten Mysterious Pavilion protectors. No matter how many people from the Mysterious Pavilion came, they would not be enough for him to kill. Killing Grandmasters was as easy as killing chickens, so he had the confidence to say those words.
"Haha, that's right!" Sun Yucheng was overjoyed. "It's decided then. Miss Liu, we'll escort you back to the Vast Cold Palace!"
"Thank you, Young Master!" Liu Di did not reject him anymore.
