Just as both of them were determined to work together, Du Ying's voice was heard from outside. "Saint, there's a Young Master Li Xinghe at the foot of the mountain who wishes to see you."
Chu Li frowned. "He's quite fast."
Sun Mingyue said, "Invite him in."
"Yes," Du Ying responded and left.
"This Li Xinghe is a powerful figure, isn't he?" Sun Mingyue gracefully sat behind the long table and put on a white veil to cover her beautiful face. Only her limpid eyes could be seen, but they were captivating.
Chu Li nodded. "He should be the top figure in Stargazing Pavilion. He's young but has a profound cultivation level. Moreover, he has the divine Star Shifting Technique, which is similar to the Saint's Light-body Technique."
"Hmm, he seems powerful." Sun Mingyue nodded.
Footsteps were heard as Li Xinghe entered the basilica under Du Ying's lead. His blue robe fluttered in the wind as his steps were light and calm. He gave a fist salute. "Li Xinghe greets the Saint!"
He gave a fist salute to Chu Li. "Brother Zhao, we meet again."
Chu Li gave a fist salute without saying a word.
Li Xinghe smiled. "Has the Saint made up her mind?"
"If we're working together, how many masters can Stargazing Pavilion provide?" Sun Mingyue asked.
"I alone am enough." Li Xinghe smiled.
Sun Mingyue frowned as her eyes focused.
Li Xinghe smiled. "You think it's not enough?"
Sun Mingyue uttered, "Not enough."
Li Xinghe smiled. "I know the weakness of the Bloody Garment Divine Power. I can predict their movements and predict their movements. With this, can't we deal with the Church of the Divine Blood?"
"If the weakness of the Bloody Garment Divine Power is so fatal, the Church of the Divine Blood would've been destroyed. Sun Mingyue said faintly, "Therefore, this weakness of yours is irrelevant. You can predict their movements, but in the end, we will still have to attack. You know the strength of the Divine Blood Church. We are no match for them. Even if you join us, it will not help."
Chu Li's face darkened. "Young Master Li, are you making fun of us? Won't Stargazing Pavilion send more masters? "
"We have no choice!" Li Xinghe waved his hand. "Stargazing Pavilion will be taking action too. We'll work with you."
Sun Mingyue said indifferently, "You're trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain. While they're dealing with us, you'll raid their nest, right?"
"I do have such a plan." Li Xinghe smiled and said, "The Saintess is indeed the Saintess. How intelligent!"
Sun Mingyue said, "Alright, but we will only be responsible for keeping them entangled within the borders of the Li Dynasty. It will still be up to the Stargazing Pavilion to truly destroy them!"
"The saintess is wise!" Li Xinghe praised.
"Then let's work together to deal with the Church of the Divine Blood. If they really don't give up and won't stop until they're dead!" Sun Mingyue said faintly, "Do you want to stay here?"
"I'll have to trouble you to prepare a place for me to stay temporarily," Li Xinghe said. "I'll calculate their movements and inform the Holy Maiden immediately if there's any movement."
Chu Li coughed softly and said, "Saint, let Young Master Li stay at my Small Light Peak for the time being."
Sun Mingyue nodded slowly and raised her voice. "Du Ying, bring Young Master Li to Small Light Peak."
"Yes." Du Ying responded softly and curtsied at Li Xinghe, indicating that he should follow her.
Li Xinghe cupped his fists and bowed before turning around and leaving.
Sun Mingyue looked at his back thoughtfully.
Chu Li asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"It seems like the battle with the Divine Blood Church is unavoidable," Sun Mingyue said slowly.
Chu Li nodded solemnly and sighed.
Sun Mingyue glanced at him and said, "We can withstand it."
Chu Li shook his head. "This battle will be very dangerous. It's obvious that the Stargazing Pavilion won't do their best to help us. Their target is the Church of the Divine Blood. The harder we fight with the Church of the Divine Blood, the happier they'll be. I'm just afraid that …"
Sun Mingyue said, "Now that things have come to this, you should know some things."
Chu Li perked up.
Sun Mingyue said, "We have a sect that supports one of the eight major sects in the Fu Dynasty."
Chu Li had a look of realization on his face. "Which sect?"
"Plain Maiden Palace," Sun Mingyue said calmly.
Chu Li slowly nodded. "So it's the Plain Maiden Palace. “
"The Eight Sects of the Fu Dynasty view us like weeds. Why would they support us?" Chu Li frowned.
Sun Mingyue said, "One of my aunts is a disciple of Plain Maiden Palace."
"I see!" Chu Li was surprised. He smiled and said, "Will they come to help?"
"They will." Sun Mingyue nodded.
Chu Li said, "Do you know about Stargazing Pavilion?"
"I don't think we can hide it from them." Sun Mingyue frowned and scoffed. "Stargazing Pavilion is the best at spying on people's privacy. There are very few things that can be hidden from them."
"Does the White Tiger Sect also have a sect that supports them?" Chu Li frowned.
Sun Mingyue slowly nodded. "The four major sects have some connections with the Fu Dynasty. They can more or less find a way to establish a relationship with them."
"I see!" Chu Li nodded.
Sun Mingyue said, "Plain Maiden Palace will send a master over."
Chu Li smiled.
Sun Mingyue glanced at him and said, "But the masters of Plain Maiden Palace are a little eccentric. You might suffer some grievances when the time comes."
Chu Li looked at her doubtfully.
Sun Mingyue said, "They hate men very much, so it's best that you don't appear in front of them. Even if you do, don't talk to them. You have the right to pretend that you didn't hear anything if they say something nasty."
Chu Li frowned. "That extreme?"
"In short, for the sake of the bigger picture, you have to bear with it even if you suffer some grievances." Sun Mingyue said, "Priest Lu and Priest Fang have good tempers, but you're too impulsive. Don't ruin our plan when the time comes."
"… Alright." Chu Li slowly nodded.
Sun Mingyue waved her hand. "That's settled then. Go to the Spirit Medicine Nursery and rest."
Chu Li fist saluted and turned to leave.
—
Chu Li refined two furnaces of pills in the Spirit Medicine Nursery and three days passed.
He was about to refine another furnace of pills when Du Ying fluttered over and called him to the Divine Light Basilica.
Inside the Divine Light Basilica, Lu Chenyu and Fang Qingyang were both sitting in a row of armchairs to the right of Sun Mingyue. On the armchairs on the other side, four young girls in green robes sat quietly, their postures elegant and dignified.
Chu Li's gaze involuntarily drifted over and sized up the four of them.
These four young girls in green robes looked exactly the same, almost as if they were carved from the same mold. Moreover, their height and weight were exactly the same.
Chu Li used the Omniscient Mirror to observe down to the smallest detail, so he could tell that there were some differences, but it was difficult for ordinary people to do so.
Chu Li's gaze roamed over their faces, which instantly attracted the four girls' sharp gazes.
They all had oval faces, curved eyebrows, cherry lips, and fine noses. Their facial features were exquisite and beautiful, which made them pitiful.
However, their gazes were unusually sharp. When they looked over, Chu Li felt as if eight cold knives were cutting his face.
"How dare you!" The young girl in green robes at the end of the line shouted and suddenly slapped him.
Chu Li took a step back and deftly avoided the slap.
"How dare you!" The young girl in green robes who was second to last shouted and slapped him again.
Chu Li took another step back to avoid it.
Sun Mingyue coughed softly and said, "Priest Zhao, you're being impolite!"
Chu Li calmly gave a fist salute. "Greetings, Saint. These four ladies are …?"
Two of the young girls in green robes stared at him angrily as their attacks failed. The other two young girls looked at him indifferently, their gazes wandering around his body like the tip of a sword, probing him.
Chu Li stood there casually, without a single flaw in his body.
This made the two young girls frown. They did not expect to encounter a swordsmanship master.
"Senior Sister Qiu, Senior Sister Dong, he's Zhao Dahe, Priest Zhao," Sun Mingyue said.
She then said to Chu Li, "The four Senior Sisters of Plain Maiden Palace are here to help. Mei Chunmei, Xia Meiqiu, Mei Dong, don't be impolite!"
Chu Li gave a fist salute. "So it's the heroines of Plain Maiden Palace. I apologize for my impoliteness."
The four young girls stared at him without blinking.
"Saint, Young Master Li is here." Du Ying's voice was heard from outside.
