The setting sun dyed the white snow between heaven and earth a rose color.
Everything was enveloped in the white snow. A heavy snowfall had just fallen and the branches drooped under the weight of the snow.
A bonfire had been lit in a pine forest. Li Hanyan was sitting quietly in front of the bonfire, staring at the dancing flames without saying a word. Fang Qingyang sat beside her with a solemn expression on his face.
"Miss Li, Chu Li is indeed dead." Fang Qingyang sighed. "My condolences."
Li Hanyan smiled faintly and shook her head as she stared at the bonfire.
Fang Qingyang was surprised to see her so calm.
He thought that after bringing the bad news, Li Hanyan would break down and be in extreme pain, needing his comfort.
Li Hanyan's admiration for Chu Li was deep in her bones. He was extremely jealous but helpless.
He never expected that after hearing the news, Li Hanyan would be so calm as if she did not hear it. He could not help but repeat it.
Li Hanyan was still calm.
Fang Qingyang frowned. "Miss Li, you don't believe it?"
"Big Brother Chu won't die." Li Hanyan shook her head.
Fang Qingyang said, "The Saint saw it with her own eyes and brought the news back personally. It was three masters from the Prophecy Pavilion who killed Chu Li. Although the Saint wanted to save him, she couldn't make it in time and could only avenge him."
Li Hanyan shook her head. "Big Brother Chu won't die."
Fang Qingyang looked at her helplessly.
If she did not believe what he said, then there was nothing he could do.
It was not that she did not believe it, but she refused to believe it and could not accept it.
At this thought, he felt pity for her and sighed. "How can the Saint lie? Chu Li won't appear again. He's so young but he has such a cultivation level. It's a pity that he's dead."
Li Hanyan turned her head and frowned at him. "The Saint might not have seen it clearly. Big Brother Chu won't die."
"Sigh …" Fang Qingyang shook his head. "Alright, he won't die … Miss Li, it's too dangerous for you to travel alone."
Li Hanyan smiled faintly. "I'm not weak. Priest, you don't have to send me off."
"This is the Saint's order. I can't disobey." Fang Qingyang smiled. "I hope Miss Li won't make things difficult for me."
"Forget it. Send me off if you want," Li Hanyan said.
She looked at the bonfire quietly, but her mind was thinking about Fang Qingyang's news.
She was very confident in Chu Li and felt that she would not be able to kill him under any circumstances. Not only was his martial arts superb, but he was also extraordinarily intelligent, far more so than an average person's. Even if the Saint had a high cultivation level, she might not necessarily be smarter than him. She was sure that she would have a way to escape.
"Let me get you something to eat," Fang Qingyang said helplessly when he saw that she was ignoring him.
Li Hanyan nodded lightly.
Fang Qingyang fluttered away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Li Hanyan suddenly turned her head and looked back. Chu Li was already standing behind her.
Li Hanyan was overjoyed and was about to speak.
Chu Li waved his hand.
"Big Brother Chu, you …?" Li Hanyan floated closer to him and whispered, "Are you okay?"
Chu Li shook his head. "I'm pretending to be dead this time. I'm here to inform you in advance so that you won't act too aggressively and cause trouble."
Li Hanyan furrowed her brows and scoffed, "Did the Saint strike?"
Chu Li smiled. "She didn't do it herself, but it's inevitable for her to trip me up. Forget it, don't get involved in my business with her. Do your job as a High Official."
"Do I really have to be a High Official?" Li Hanyan frowned and said unhappily, "I don't want to work for the Holy Church of Light."
"You need more training." Chu Li said, "How else can you improve your martial arts?"
He realized that Li Hanyan's comprehension was amazing, but this kind of comprehension could only be unleashed in actual combat. Every time she fought, she would gain a lot and improve further. Chu Li's cultivation progress was far behind hers.
Chu Li felt that Li Hanyan was the real genius. With proper training, she could become a top-notch master.
Being a High Official of the Holy Church of Light was an excellent opportunity.
Li Hanyan scoffed, "I don't feel comfortable staying in the Holy Church of Light."
"I won't let you come to the Ji Dynasty. The Ji Dynasty and the other countries are enemies. There's no need to be so timid." Chu Li said, "You should improve your cultivation level as soon as possible."
"Alright." Li Hanyan nodded.
Chu Li waved his hand and suddenly disappeared.

When he appeared in the Imperial Residence of King An, he saw Xiao Shi sitting in the gazebo in a daze, staring at Xiao Qi who was practicing her sword.
The sword gleam around Xiao Qi was like rippling water, refreshing and refreshing.
Both of them were dressed in white. Their beautiful faces were like jade, radiant and enchanting. They were so beautiful that people could not look at them directly.
Chu Li appeared beside Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi felt it and turned to glance at him. She immediately rolled her eyes at him.
Chu Li crippled her Heavenly Heart Technique last time. She had been depressed about it. She was very dissatisfied and did not give him a good look.
Chu Li smiled and sat opposite her.
Xiao Shi turned to avoid him and did not look at him.
Chu Li smiled, "I found the cultivation method of the Heavenly Heart Technique."
Xiao Shi cast a sidelong glance at him, then looked elsewhere and ignored him.
Chu Li sighed, "It seems that the Second Lady does not want to know. Forget it then."
"Hurry up and tell me!" Xiao Shi scolded.
Chu Li said, "The secret manual of the Heavenly Heart Technique should be cultivated in reverse."
"Why are you practicing backwards?"
"Start from the sixth level, then the fifth level, and the last level is the first level," Chu Li said.
Xiao Shi frowned at him.
Chu Li said, "I've already cultivated it. It's not a problem."
He had the Heavenly Heart Technique imprinted in his mind. He immediately reversed it and tried to cultivate it. Soon, he was initiated. The Maha-Vairocana Buddha in the void of his mind did not react this time.
Xiao Shi scoffed, "What's going on?"
"Little tricks from the Prophecy Pavilion." Chu Li shook his head, "If you get the secret manual and don't know how to cultivate it, you'll definitely go astray."
Xiao Shi said, "How did you know now?"
Chu Li smiled.
Xiao Shi scoffed, "It's best if you don't interact with them. I won't cultivate the Heavenly Heart Technique."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and looked at her in surprise.
Xiao Shi said, "If you cultivate the martial arts of the Prophecy Pavilion, they might sense it and cause trouble."
Chu Li smiled, "That might not be the case. The Heavenly Heart Technique is powerful. You're talented too. It might not be a disaster if you cultivate it."
He already knew that the Heavenly Heart Technique required high aptitude and strong spiritual energy. More importantly, one had to have a unique understanding of life and death. Otherwise, it would be difficult to understand the Heavenly Heart Technique.
He was someone who had died many times and had a strong spiritual energy, so it was easy for him to get started. Xiao Shi was the same, so she could cultivate it with half the effort. Once she succeeded in the Heavenly Heart Technique, it would be easier to cultivate the Peeking Skill.
Moreover, the price of the Peeking Skill was not as high as he imagined. It was far from the Deva Shedding Skill. Hence, it was beneficial for Xiao Shi to cultivate it.
Xiao Shi frowned at him.
Chu Li smiled, "Do you think I'll harm you?"
"… Alright, then let's cultivate it." Xiao Shi scoffed.
She started cultivating as soon as she said she would. In fact, she had been pondering the heart technique of the Heavenly Heart Technique in her mind for a long time. It was easy to just change the order.
After a while, her body emitted an ethereal aura. Chu Li smiled.
