Both of them arrived at the Divine Light Basilica. Sun Mingyue sat on the armchair and looked at her quietly. "Du Ying, you still have to look for Zhao Dahe."
"Saint …" Du Ying quickly called out.
Sun Mingyue waved her hand. "Rules are rules."
"Didn't I tell Senior Brother Deng not to punish Junior Brother Zhao?" Du Ying said.
"That was just to fool him," Sun Mingyue said. "Do you really think I'll let Zhao Dahe off just because of what he said?"
"Senior Brother Deng is fine."
"Who said he's fine? “
Du Ying looked at her doubtfully.
Sun Mingyue shook her head. "Zhao Dahe went too far this time. He hurt Deng Datong's foundation. Even if he recovers, he won't be able to do anything for a long time."
Du Ying said, "That can't be, right?"
"He didn't go easy on him. He was aiming to destroy Deng Datong's foundation!" Sun Mingyue scoffed.
Du Ying remained silent. "It's no wonder Junior Brother Zhao was so ruthless. Senior Brother Deng is too hateful."
"Alright, don't. Lv Bo? Ruling Ka Fu Xie Xi? Chu! Bi Ying kidnapped Mo Mo.
"Yes …" Du Ying nodded and did not say anything more.
She knew that if she said anything more, the Saint would turn on her. She would be asking for trouble.
Sun Mingyue looked thoughtful as she watched Du Ying's graceful figure leave the Divine Light Basilica.
This scene seemed familiar because she had already used the honey trap once. Back then, she had used Li Ruolan to restrain Zhao Dahe. It was like using a rope to restrain a mad dragon. In the end, it was very effective. Now, she was going to use it again.
Du Ying and Li Ruolan were similar in their bones but their appearances were different. One was mature and steady while the other was kind and had a clear distinction between love and hate. She did not hide her feelings and it was easy for a woman like this to enter Zhao Dahe's heart.
Now it was up to Du Ying to break Zhao Dahe's heart. If it worked, it would be much easier.
She shook her head and sighed. In order to control this Zhao Dahe, she had spent the most effort. Currently, it seemed like the results were the worst. She was still unable to control him completely. She could not command him as if she was her own arm. She needed a special method to control him.
Fortunately, he was indeed worth it. His martial arts were outstanding, far surpassing that of an ordinary person. Although he was only a Branch Leader, his martial arts were not inferior to an Altar Leader or even a Fawang. Moreover, he was exceptionally intelligent. People were often deceived by his appearance, thinking that he was a hot-headed person who did not know how to scheme and only knew how to use brute force.

When Du Ying arrived at Gale City, Chu Li was cultivating in his own residence. Kou Qiong personally led her to the courtyard and stood there respectfully.
Du Ying secretly looked at Kou Qiong.
He was getting on in years. He looked like he was more than a hundred years old. His martial arts were very powerful and his cultivation level was high. If he was in the Holy Church of Light, he would have gone to the Fourth Peak to enjoy his life. He would not have shown himself in public.
Ever since Kou Qiong and the others established Gale Branch, their martial arts had been trained by Chu Li and their cultivation level had improved greatly.
Chu Li did not do it to reward them. He just wanted to slack off. If their martial arts were weak, they would always trouble him. Only when their martial arts were strong enough would they be able to handle things on their own without him showing up.
Kou Qiong stood respectfully in the small courtyard like a statue. Du Ying felt strange and was about to ask but Kou Qiong put a finger to his lips, gesturing for her not to speak.
Du Ying looked at him curiously.
Kou Qiong pointed into the house and stopped moving again.
Du Ying felt guilty and did not dare to make a sound. She could only wait with him.
After a while, Chu Li's voice was heard. "What's the matter?"
"Master, Miss Du from the Holy Church of Light is here," Kou Qiong answered respectfully.
"Senior Sister Du, come in," Chu Li said.
Kou Qiong gestured for Du Ying to enter.
Du Ying shook her head and smiled. Junior Brother Zhao was really good with his subordinates. Such a powerful master was so respectful to him. It was obvious that he respected him from the bottom of his heart and not just for show. She was very curious as to how Junior Brother Zhao did it.
Kou Qiong left quietly while Du Ying went into the house.
Chu Li was sitting on the bed with his legs crossed. He looked at her calmly and gave her a fist salute. "Senior Sister Du, does the Saint have any instructions for me?"
"The Saint has summoned you, Junior Brother Zhao," Du Ying said.
Chu Li frowned. "Again?"
"It's not a good thing this time." Du Ying sighed. "You hurt Senior Brother Deng too badly. The Saint will punish you."
"Is he dead?" Chu Li scoffed.
Du Ying shook her head. "Senior Brother Deng won't die so easily."
Chu Li smiled. "It's good that he's not dead. It's not considered a fight. Why would the Saint punish me?"
"He almost died this time." Du Ying sighed. "Senior Brother Deng's injuries are getting worse. If it wasn't for the Saint, it's hard to say whether he's dead or alive."
"I see …" Chu Li nodded. "Alright, I'll go with you."
Du Ying sighed. "Junior Brother Zhao, you must hate seeing me. Every time I come, it's always bad news."
Chu Li laughed and shook his head.
He could see through Du Ying's thoughts. She was pure and kind. She was not the kind of person without principles. Instead, she had a clear distinction between love and hate. He liked her very much. Therefore, he did not hate her at all. In fact, he was very relaxed when he interacted with her.
"That's good." Du Ying smiled and said, "Junior Brother Zhao, is this your idea? To injure Senior Brother Deng so badly that he can't fulfill the military order? "
"What do you think?" Chu Li smiled.
"It's quite vicious. You're taking drastic measures!" Du Ying said with a smile.
Chu Li nodded. "It seems like Senior Brother Deng isn't as strong as I thought. Didn't you find a master to help? Logically speaking, he should've been able to control it!"
"Senior Brother Deng isn't very popular. No master is willing to help him." Du Ying said.
Chu Li got up and left the bed. Then, he left his residence with Du Ying and glided towards the Great Light Peak.
The two of them chatted and laughed along the way. Unknowingly, they arrived at the Divine Light Basilica.
It was already evening and the sun was setting. However, the Divine Light Basilica was unusually bright. The ice peak at the top of the Great Light Peak reflected the setting sun. Rays of sunset light shone into the Divine Light Basilica. It was exceptionally bright, which was how the Divine Light Basilica got its name.
When he entered the Divine Light Basilica, Sun Mingyue was standing in a corner of the basilica. She looked at him thoughtfully. Her clear eyes scanned him from head to toe as if she was trying to see through his mind.
Chu Li fist saluted. "Saint, tell me, how are you going to punish me this time?"
"Your punishment is to kill Li Hanyan." Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li frowned. "I won't help him kill Li Hanyan. I know that if I kill Li Hanyan, the credit will still go to him. It'll be considered as him fulfilling the military order."
"That's right. If you kill Li Hanyan, you won't hurt Deng Datong." Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li said, "Then you can punish me directly!"
"I'll keep the branch leader of Gale Branch for you." Sun Mingyue said, "You can kill another person. It'll be considered as a balance."
"Saint, as far as I know, the Church of Light doesn't allow one's merits to be offset. No matter how great one's merits are, it can't be used to offset one's crimes." Chu Li said.
"Some can be offset, some can't." Sun Mingyue said, "You can't generalize. You didn't cause a disaster this time, so you can offset your merits." “
"Kill who?" Chu Li scoffed.
Sun Mingyue said, "Liang Yinge. “
