Chu Li's expression changed slightly and he nodded slowly.
This was another favor. Even though he knew she was doing it on purpose and that he would have to repay her in the future, he was still grateful. He closed fist saluted and disappeared from the gazebo.
Lu Yurong sat down thoughtfully and looked at the sparkling lake under the moonlight. Her mind worked like lightning.
She replayed the scenes of her interaction with Chu Li in front of her.
She analyzed the changes in his expression, the words he said and the changes in his tone, trying to figure out if she was right.
If there was anyone who could sneak into the Holy Church of Light, it would be him. Only he had the ability.
However, he was a centurion. He should not have done such a dangerous thing. Sneaking into the Holy Church of Light was dangerous. How could a centurion like him take such a risk?
Chu Li appeared in a forest outside the valley of Snow Lunar Pavilion in a flash.
There were not many masters within a ten mile radius. Without the feeling of an impending storm, the people who were eyeing them left and Snow Lunar Pavilion returned to peace.
In the depths of the forest, eight miles away from Chu Li, he saw a group of people in black huddled on a tree branch, unmoving. It was as if they were one with the tree branch. Coupled with the clothes they wore, it was hard to tell from the outside.
Chu Li knew they were masters from the Holy Church of Light at a glance.
There were six of them and their cultivation level was far higher than Li Hanyan's.
They looked like they had waited for more than a day. This Lu Yurong!
Thinking of this, he disappeared again in a flash and appeared in Li Hanyan's house. He did not care about the boundaries between men and women.
It was already night and Snow Lunar Valley was brightly lit.
The waterside pavilion he was in was dark. There was only a faint light reflected from the outside. It was unusually weak as if it was two different worlds.
When he appeared, he saw Li Hanyan sitting on the bed to heal her injuries.
Chu Li frowned.
Li Hanyan opened her eyes. The originally dark waterside pavilion was suddenly lit up. The room was electrified.
"Big Brother Chu," she said softly.
Her voice was hoarse. She was heavily injured.
"What happened?" Chu Li asked.
He went forward and grabbed her cold wrist. He probed with his inner energy and observed with the Omniscient Mirror. He frowned when he saw his inner energy circulating in her body.
"I'm fine," Li Hanyan said quickly.
Chu Li scoffed. He leaped onto the bed and sat behind her. Then, he slapped her back a few times.
"Pfft!" Li Hanyan threw herself forward, her head out of the bed and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
The darkness could not obstruct Chu Li's gaze. He saw that the corner of her snow-white lips had been dyed dark red. It was a sight that stirred him to the core.
Lee Hanyan's breathing became smoother all of a sudden, and the inner energy in her body flowed faster. It was completely different from before.
Chu Li's palm strikes were very precise. Every palm strike was aimed at the most crucial part of her body, striking at the hidden force and injuries in her body, causing them to collapse in one hit. Although she could not be healed immediately, it was close enough.
The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth surged and entered her body in an instant.
Li Hanyan felt as if her body was submerged in a cold spring. It was cold and comfortable at the same time. She wanted to let out a weird sound but she held it in with all her might. Her face turned red.
Chu Li asked in a low voice, "How did you suffer such heavy injuries? Those guys outside? "
"It's not them." Li Hanyan shook her head. "I got injured while saving someone on the way."
Chu Li frowned. "It must be someone extraordinary to be able to injure you so badly."
"A young man." Li Hanyan smiled. "He's quite an interesting guy, but I didn't bring him back to Snow Lunar Pavilion."
"Oh — —?" Chu Li gave a faint smile. "Could it be that you've fallen for him? A beauty saving a hero?"
"How is that possible!" Li Hanyan curled her red lips and scoffed. "I don't like those stinky men!"
Chu Li glared at her.
Li Hanyan thought to herself, "Of course, Big Brother Chu is different."
"I'm also a stinky man." Chu Li said snappily. "Alright, hurry up and treat your injuries."
"Yes." Li Hanyan smiled.
She closed her eyes and channeled again. Her body was surging with a cool force that was exceptionally comfortable.
She quickly calmed down and her spirit slowly left her body. Her thoughts gradually drifted away. She did not need to direct it as the spiritual energy automatically wrapped around her injuries.
She did not know how long it took for her to wake up. When she opened her eyes, she realized that the sky was bright. It was already the morning of the next day.
Chu Li was sitting cross-legged behind her. He was motionless with his eyes closed, breathing deeply.
She turned her head to look at him and realized that his eyes were still closed. She stared at him curiously.
She usually did not look at Chu Li so closely.
Suddenly, she felt a little unfamiliar, as if she did not know him at all. But then, a familiar feeling arose. His temperament was extremely unique. No one else could match him.
"What's wrong?" Chu Li suddenly opened his eyes, startling her. She quickly turned her head away.
Chu Li smiled. "Is there something on my face?"
He knew that Li Hanyan admired him as a child. In fact, she had subtly regarded him as her father.
Since her father's death, Chu Li had saved her when she was on the brink of death. He took care of her when she was at her weakest. He taught her martial arts and arranged for her future. Everything he did was like a father to his daughter.
She unknowingly transferred the feelings she had for her father to Chu Li. It was almost unrelated to the relationship between a man and a woman. But he was not her biological father after all, so it was inevitable that there would be a hint of peculiarity.
Li Hanyan blushed and shook her head. "My injuries are healed. Thank you, Big Brother Chu."
"Why are you dawdling at such a crucial time? Hurry up and greet me." Chu Li said, "You're forcing yourself!"
"It's fine this time. If it weren't for that guy, I wouldn't have been injured at all." Li Hanyan shook her head. "It's just a small injury. It's nothing."
"A small injury!" Chu Li scoffed.
Li Hanyan said, "But I didn't expect that guy's palm energy to be so insidious. It kept acting up and getting worse."
"Looks like you focus too much on your swordsmanship and neglected your inner energy." Chu Li shook his head. "Inner energy is also the foundation."
"Yes, yes." Li Hanyan quickly nodded. "Big Brother Chu, do you want breakfast? I'll get it. "
Chu Li said impatiently, "You dislike me?? Ruanyi is miserable? Responsible?
Li Hanyan looked at him with a bitter face. "Alright, I'll listen."
Chu Li scoffed. "It's good that you listen. From tomorrow onwards, rearrange your schedule. Swordsmanship will take thirty minutes."
"… Forty?" Li Hanyan said carefully.
Chu Li frowned. "Thirty!"
"… Alright." Li Hanyan nodded helplessly. Her red lips opened and closed.
Chu Li glared at her. "How about two?"
"Three, three!" Li Hanyan quickly smiled.
Chu Li scoffed. "You'll know in the future. If you don't have enough inner energy, you won't be able to use your swordsmanship no matter how powerful it is. Don't think that the swordsmanship I taught you is a trick!"
"Yes, yes." Li Hanyan said dejectedly.
Chu Li finally let her go. "Did those people outside see it?"
"Yes." Li Hanyan said, "They're from the Holy Church of Light. I'll deal with them sooner or later!"
She was injured, so she was willing but powerless.
