Chu Li exchanged more than a hundred blows with her and finally stopped. Mei Chun pursed her red lips and did not say a word. She seemed to be deep in thought as if she had learned something.
"Mei Xia, you too, a hundred blows!" Xia Rou smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao, I'll have to trouble you to guide them, lest they become too arrogant and lose face for the Plain Girl Palace in the future!"
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
He wanted to experience the Plain Maiden Palace's swordsmanship. The Plain Maiden Sword Technique was exquisite and far superior to the swordsmanship he had learned before. It was not by luck that the Plain Maiden Palace was able to stand proudly as one of the eight major sects.
He had learned the Less Ultimate Sword from the Ultimate Temple. It was a powerful swordsmanship but it was slightly inferior to the Plain Maiden Sword Technique.
He was different from others. It was useless even if others could see the exquisite swordsmanship. Without the accompanying heart technique, the power of the swordsmanship could not be unleashed.
However, Chu Li could see through their channeling route, so he could completely learn the Plain Maiden Sword Technique and understand its wonders.
Although he could not unleash it, he could integrate it into his swordsmanship.
"Young Zhao, we can't let you work for nothing." Xia Rou smiled. "How about we give you two sets of sword manuals?"
"Sword manuals?" Chu Li was surprised.
Xia Rou smiled. "The Plain Maiden Palace has many sword manuals. You can use them to comprehend the Palace's swordsmanship. They are all excellent swordsmanship."
As she spoke, she took out two thin booklets and passed them to Chu Li.
Chu Li was surprised and hesitated to reach out.
"Take it." Xia Rou passed it to him and smiled. "Don't think that it's a bad swordsmanship just because I have it with me. Take a look."
Chu Li reached out and took it. It was still warm and gave off a faint fragrance.
He looked down and flipped through one of them. It was the Flaming Sun Sword Technique and the other one was the Spirit Ape Sword Technique.
Xia Rou said, "These two are swordsmanship passed down from ancient times. The moves are simple but powerful. It's a shame that such swordsmanship is hard to comprehend and requires a high level of comprehension. I've studied it for two years but I can't comprehend much. You can try."
Chu Li fist saluted and said seriously, "Thank you, Senior Xia!"
Xia Rou pursed her lips and smiled. "No need to thank me. We've benefited a lot from you too."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
No matter how stupid he was, he could tell that Xia Rou was trying to recruit him.
The Plain Maiden Palace only accepted female disciples and didn't accept male disciples. Why did she recruit him like this?
Could it be that she thinks highly of me, so she wants to cultivate a relationship with me so that she can ask me to help the Plain Maiden Palace in the future?
As one of the Eight Great Sects, the Plain Girl Palace had a strong foundation. It did not need the help of a martial artist from the Great Li Dynasty.
Then why was he so close to her?
He shook his head. In the end, he still could not figure out the reason.
Xia Rou had a precious weapon on her that could block the prying eyes, and so could Xia Xiao. However, Mei Chun and the other three girls did not have any precious weapons, so they could see the mental cultivation method of the Plain Maiden Sword Art from them. Unfortunately, they were also a bit confused and did not know Xia Rou's intentions.
After that, Chu Li sparred with Mei Xia, Mei Qiu, and Mei Dong one by one.
The four women remained calm and collected, but they were full of praise in their hearts. Their complexions became much better. Although they weren't passionate enough, they were still very gentle and talkative.
Xia Rou raised her head and looked at the sky. It was already sunset. She smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao, why don't you stay here? There are many houses here."
Chu Li was stunned. He quickly shook his head and smiled. "Senior Xia, that's not appropriate."
"What's inappropriate about it?" Xia Rou chuckled. "You're still guarding against the rules between men and women! … Don't worry, the reputation of the Plain Girl Palace won't be tarnished. Or is it that you have a sweetheart and you're afraid that she'll be angry? "
Chu Li shook his head. "That's not it."
"Then, do you really have a sweetheart?"
"No."
"You don't have a woman?" Xia Rou smiled and shook her head. "The women from the Holy Church of Light really have high standards."
Chu Li smiled. "I'm too ugly. It's scary."
"Hehe." Xia Rou giggled and shook her head. "As a man, ability comes first. It doesn't matter if you're ugly or handsome. Stay here and we'll study those two sword manuals. I'm sure you'll be able to comprehend them faster than me."
"This …" Chu Li hesitated.
He was also very interested in those two sword manuals. Ancient sword techniques were indeed worth studying.
"It's settled then. I'll tell the Saint." Xia Rou smiled.
Chu Li nodded helplessly.
"Young Chun, help Young Zhao choose a room," Xia Rou said.
Mei Chun replied, "Yes, Young Master Zhao, please follow me."
She was the first to walk out. Her graceful figure was light and swift, and her movements were graceful with an inexplicable rhythm.
Chu Li fist saluted and bid farewell to the ladies. He followed Mei Chun out of the basilica and headed west.
The setting sun shone on her as Mei Chun walked quietly without saying a word.
Chu Li coughed softly. "Thank you, Miss Mei."
Mei Chun calmly said, "We should be thanking you. We've gained a lot this time and now we know that there's always someone better than you."
They were all extremely talented people who were already Grandmasters at a young age. Even in the martial arts world of the Fu Dynasty, they were a group of top-notch people. Initially, they thought that the martial arts world of the Li Dynasty was mediocre and did not take them seriously.
Because of this, after witnessing Chu Li's swordsmanship, they felt even more strongly after being defeated.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "My martial arts skills are far from the Saint's."
Mei Chun said, "The Saintess has received the inheritance of enlightenment. There is only one person like the Saintess in the Great Li Dynasty. She is different from ordinary people. You can't compare yourself to her, but you don't have to either. Your current level of cultivation is already extremely shocking."
Chu Li smiled. "Senior Xia is so close to me. Is it because my cultivation level is high? I'm flattered. "
"It's because your cultivation level is high," Mei Chun said. "Master's Junior Xia Rou is a person who loves talented people. She likes young talents the most."
Chu Li nodded. "I see."
Mei Chun turned to look at him.
Chu Li was puzzled.
Mei Chun shook her head and did not say anything else. She brought him to an exquisite courtyard. The courtyard had been cleaned and the bedding was ready. They could move in right away.
—
The basilica was brightly lit as if it was daytime.
Xia Rou sat by the stone table in the basilica and gently put down her teacup. She smiled and said, "Which one of you likes Young Zhao?"
Mei Chun and the other three ladies stood in front of Xia Rou in silence.
They were of the same height and looked almost the same. It was difficult to tell who was who when they stood together.
Xia Xiao sat opposite Xia Rou and put down her teacup. She shook her head. "Junior Sister, stop fooling around."
Xia Rou chuckled. "You guys aren't tempted by such a handsome man. What a pity!"
"Although Young Zhao's cultivation level is profound and his swordsmanship is outstanding, he's still lacking in looks. It's no wonder they aren't tempted," Xia Xiao said.
Xia Rou nodded. "Alright, I won't force it. I'll bring him around the palace and see which disciple likes him."
"You're determined to make him our Plain Maiden Palace's son-in-law," Xia Xiao said with a smile.
Xia Rou said, "How can I let such a powerful person go?"
"You can't force it. Don't mess around," Xia Xiao said.
Xia Rou nodded. "Of course, I can't make a pair of enemies. However, I think there'll be people who like Young Zhao. He's not handsome but very manly!"
Xia Xiao said, "You'll only feel it after spending some time with him."
"We've made the right choice this time. Our biggest gain is this Young Zhao!" Xia Rou exclaimed.
