It was ironic that he was asked to kill Li Hanyan.
The girl in green said, "The culprit this time is said to be extremely powerful. She's known as the Ruthless Fairy. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle her by himself. You two have to work together to have a chance."
"… Senior Brother Deng, you're so calculative!" Chu Li scoffed.
The girl in green smiled and nodded.
As an outsider, she also felt that Senior Brother Deng was too calculative. It was clearly the work of two people, but only one of them took it. He wanted Chu Li to help him ascend to the position of patrol.
It would be fine if it was someone else but Chu Li's position as a Branch Leader was a waste of his talents. With his merits, if he did not cause trouble, he would have become an Altar Leader. This was a good opportunity for him to become a patrol.
This time, the patrol was snatched away by force. Not only did she snatch his opportunity, but she still wanted him to help her. What a coward.
Then, the two stopped talking and hurried on with their journey.
In the evening, the two arrived at the Great Light Peak. The girl in green was faster than Li Ruolan due to her Light-body Technique.
Chu Li followed her to the Divine Light Basilica.
The basilica was quiet and cold. Sun Mingyue was the only one sitting behind the table reading the dossiers.
Chu Li followed Senior Sister Du to the basilica.
Senior Sister Du gestured for him to wait and left quietly.
Chu Li stood where he was and looked up at Sun Mingyue without saying a word.
Even though Sun Mingyue was in the basilica, she still wore a white veil. Only her beautiful eyes were exposed. Her phoenix eyes were so intimidating that no one dared to look at her directly.
Chu Li did not mind and looked at her calmly.
She read very quickly. In the blink of an eye, she flipped through one scroll and moved on to another. The tall stack of dossiers on the upper left corner of the table was quickly moved to the upper right corner.
She finished reading the dossiers in one breath and looked down at him. "Zhao Dahe?"
Chu Li fist saluted. "Greetings, Saint."
"Did Xiao Du tell you?"
"Yes."
"What do you think?"
"Ridiculous!"
"Hmm?" Sun Mingyue frowned and narrowed her eyes at him coldly.
Chu Li sneered. "Saint, you agreed to his request?"
"Hmm, he's sure that he'll be able to get his revenge. Of course, I agree." Sun Mingyue lightly said, "Don't you want to avenge Patrol Chang?"
"Why should I avenge him?" Chu Li said impatiently, "He was unlucky and actually died in the Ji Dynasty. He's a laughingstock to the world and a disgrace to the Holy Church of Light. It doesn't matter if someone like him dies!"
"How dare you!" Sun Mingyue shouted.
Chu Li replied disapprovingly, "Besides, if you want to take revenge, then take revenge. Why are you dragging me into this? I'm currently undergoing isolated cultivation in Gale City, and it's a crucial moment that I can't afford to be delayed. Why do you have to bother me with these boring things? Can't you see that I'm in peace?"
"Zhao Dahe, you're getting more and more impudent!" Sun Mingyue frowned and scoffed. "Do you think that I don't dare to punish you?"
Chu Li asked, "Which rule did I break?"
Sun Mingyue took a deep breath. Her voluptuous chest, which was covered by her loose white robe, heaved up and down violently. She said coldly, "Your words are too heartless."
"I've never even met that Senior Brother Chang or that Senior Brother Deng," Chu Li said helplessly. "What friendship? I won't deal with it hypocritically. Just because we're all part of the Holy Church, we're as close as a family. This is too fake! "
"Shut up!" Sun Mingyue snorted.
Chu Li stopped and looked at her quietly.
Sun Mingyue said, "If you can help Deng Datong kill Li Hanyan, I'll promote you to Patrol!"
Chu Li frowned and looked at her. "Is there still a vacancy for Patrol?"
"You don't have to worry about that," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li shook his head. "I'm not going."
"Are you going to disobey me again?" Sun Mingyue glared at him coldly. Her eyes were filled with coldness.
Chu Li said, "Saint, aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me?"
"Killing two birds with one stone. What's so difficult about it?" Sun Mingyue scoffed. "If the two of you work together, that Li Hanyan will be beheaded no matter how powerful she is!"
Chu Li scoffed. "The key isn't killing Li Hanyan, it's Deng Datong!"
"What do you mean?" Sun Mingyue asked.
Chu Li scoffed. "Saint, you're so smart. Do I need to explain? This time, Deng Datong was too unreasonable. If I agree, what about the next time? Everyone will want to order me around. Why should I be ordered around by them? "
"He suggested it, and I agreed!" Sun Mingyue said coldly.
Chu Li shook his head. "Then forgive me for not being able to comply!"
Sun Mingyue stared at him coldly.
Chu Li refused to back down and stared back at her. Their gazes seemed to be clashing in the air, like swords clashing, sparks flew.
"If that's the case, you should move your position as the Branch Leader of Gale Branch," Sun Mingyue said as she looked away.
Chu Li said, "Even if I'm expelled from the Holy Church of Light, I won't bow down!"
"Either you work with him to kill Li Hanyan, or you remove your position as the Branch Leader," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li said, "Saint, you think I'm not suitable to be the Branch Leader, so you want to give it to someone else, right? You know my temper, but you're purposely making things difficult for me. Why? "
"This is a very common thing, but you're taking it as an insult." Sun Mingyue scoffed. "Your thinking is too extreme. Deng Datong wants to ask you for help because your martial arts is brilliant. Everyone in the church knows about it."
She was purposely making things difficult for Chu Li to test his temper.
If he was not tactful enough, how could he get along with the other disciples of the Holy Church? If he was not patient enough, how could he ascend to a high position?
Although the Priest and Altar Leader needed powerful martial arts and sufficient merits, if his temperament was not good and he threw tantrums at the slightest provocation, it would be detrimental to the Holy Church. If he ascended to a high position with such a temper, he would cause a lot of trouble.
Therefore, she tried every possible way to polish Chu Li and get rid of his temper. An unpolished jade was worthless.
"Hmph!" Chu Li sneered. "The Priest and Altar Leader are both highly skilled in martial arts. Why didn't he ask for their help?"
"It's because your position is low," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li said, "No matter how low my position is, not everyone can order me around!"
"Yes, even I can't order you around, let alone others!" Sun Mingyue said sarcastically, "Looks like you don't want to be the Branch Leader anymore!"
Chu Li said, "Saint, if you really want to force me, I'll kill Li Hanyan before he does. Let's see if he's worthy of being a patrol!"
It seemed like Li Hanyan was going to suffer revenge from the Holy Church of Light. This was a good opportunity for her to make a name for herself. Although she had made a name for herself, it was only in the Great Ji Dynasty. If she could fight evenly with the Holy Church of Light, it would be more beneficial to her reputation and it would be more intimidating to others.
Snow Lunar Pavilion was peaceful now. This was related to his deterrence and the rise of Li Hanyan. Ruthless Fairy was famous.
Sun Mingyue stared at him.
Chu Li stared back at her, unwilling to be outdone.
Both of them were in a stalemate again.
Sun Mingyue had to suppress him no matter what. Otherwise, she would lose all her prestige and the disciples of the Holy Church would dare to disobey her.
"Saint, Senior Brother Deng is outside asking for an audience." Senior Sister Du's voice was heard.
"Let him in." Sun Mingyue said.
Her eyes were still on Chu Li. Chu Li shifted his gaze to the entrance of the basilica.
A tall, thin, and handsome young man walked in slowly and gave a fist salute respectfully. "Greetings, Saint."
"Deng Datong, Zhao Dahe is here." Sun Mingyue waved her hand.
Deng Datong gave a fist salute. He smiled at Chu Li and said, "Junior Brother Zhao, please take care of me!"
Chu Li gave a fist salute expressionlessly.
