After Chu Li sent the news to the Church of the Divine Blood, he did not need to guess to know the result. With Wei Wuwei's pride, even if he knew it was a trap and was being used, he would not let it go.
The Church of the Divine Blood needed this opportunity. If they could heavily injure the Sword Moon Sect, the other sects would be intimidated. They would know that the Church of the Divine Blood was still the Church of the Divine Blood and not a toothless tiger.
He suddenly appeared on Jade Guardian Island.
There were no lights on Jade Guardian Island. The moonlight poured down like water.
Xiao Qi was practicing her swordsmanship in the garden. Her sword flashed like lightning and she was drenched in sweat. Her face was flushed but her eyes were cold.
Chu Li knew what she was thinking when he saw her. He shook his head helplessly. He knew that she was in a dead end and felt that she was a burden.
He jumped into the circle of swords and fought with her. After a hundred moves, Xiao Qi put away her sword. Her eyes were calm again. She rolled her eyes at him, knowing that he was coaxing her.
If he really went all out, her Regal Sword Technique would not last more than ten moves.
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "Madam, your swordsmanship is excellent and your cultivation level is high. I was gifted by the heavens and had a fortuitous encounter. “
Xiao Qi glanced at him. "Don't worry, I've thought it through."
Chu Li sighed and smiled.
"I've decided to isolate myself at Spirit Cranes Peak," Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li's smile froze.
Xiao Qi said, "Don't worry, it's not what you think. I have to catch up to you. I just feel that I've been slacking for a while and need to tighten up."
"How long?" Chu Li sighed.
"I'll be fine in a few days," Xiao Qi said. "I've been feeling it lately. I might be able to break through a level."
"That's good." Chu Li smiled again.
"Let's go back to Tianshu Courtyard." Xiao Qi sheathed her sword. "Second Eldest Sister might be worried."
The two returned to Tianshu Courtyard in a flash.
The night was like water. Tianshu Courtyard was brightly lit as if it was daytime.
Xiao Shi was playing the guzheng in the gazebo. The sound of the guzheng was like a white crane dancing in the sky.
She wore a snow-white gown, and her beautiful face glowed with a gentle luster under the light. It was as if she was carved out of white jade, and her beauty was beyond comparison.
After Chu Li and Siao Qi suddenly appeared, the music stopped abruptly. Siao Shi looked up.
"Second Eldest Sister," Xiao Qi said, "everything has been resolved."
Siao Shi nodded lightly and looked at Chu Li from head to toe.
Chu Li smiled. "I'm not hurt."
Siao Shi scoffed, "How can you not be injured? Which time didn't I try to be brave? "
"I'm really not hurt." Chu Li chuckled. "I've cultivated the Heavenly Heart Technique to the tenth level and used the Heaven Stealing Skill to spy on their sneak attack routes. I set up a formation along the way and waited for them to ambush me. They fell into the trap one by one and not many of them managed to escape."
Xiao Shi's watery eyes suddenly lit up.
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "Your Heavenly Heart Technique cultivation level is still far from enough. You'll have to take it slow. There are no shortcuts."
"Alright," Siao Shi scoffed, "I've only reached the sixth level, I'm still far from it."
Chu Li smiled without saying a word.
Naturally, he would not say that Siao Shi was a genius who cultivated the Heavenly Heart Technique, and that her speed was shockingly fast.
"They won't come back, right?" Xiao Shi asked.
Chu Li said, "I'll inform the Church of the Divine Blood. If nothing goes wrong, the Sword Moon Sect won't have the energy to care about this."
"You're fanning the flames." Siao Shi pursed her lips and chuckled. "You're really bad."
Xiao Qi smiled and told him that she was going to Spirit Cranes Peak to cultivate in isolation. Siao Shi decided to cultivate in isolation too, so she could keep Chu Li company at Spirit Cranes Peak. Chu Li nodded.
"Xu An should be here by now. Why isn't he here yet?" Xiao Shi frowned.
Chu Li nodded.
No matter how slow Xu An was, he should have reached the Fairy's Capital by now.
Xiao Shi said, "I need to see Xu An before I cultivate in isolation. I need to inform him so that he won't think that we're avoiding him and neglecting him when he arrives."
She looked at Chu Li with her bright eyes. "You can find him directly, can't you?"
"More or less. I'll try." Chu Li said.
He gave Xu An a Titanium Sarira Prayer Bead. Through it, he could sense Xu An and arrive in an instant.
"Bring Second Eldest Sister there. I'll see him later," Xiao Qi said.
"Alright." Chu Li nodded.
He grabbed Siao Shi's waist and disappeared in an instant.
The next moment, the two appeared outside an inn in a small town.
The inn was brightly lit with lanterns hanging high.
The inn only had one floor. Standing outside, one could hear loud chatter and laughter from inside. The sweet singing and the sound of strings mixed together. It was lively.
Siao Shi wore a white gown and a white veil covered her face. She looked at the inn from top to bottom. "Xu An is staying here?"
Chu Li nodded.
The two stepped into the inn. As expected, the main hall was a restaurant. The tables were filled with people. Xu An sat alone at a table. He was eating two plates of vegetarian dishes with a smile on his face. He looked like he was in high spirits.
He wore a red robe and was very eye-catching. He was young, which made him even more unique. However, no one came to disturb him. They all pretended not to see him.
The Ji Dynasty and the Li Dynasty worshiped Buddhism. Monks had a high status.
Chu Li and Siao Shi sat directly opposite him.
Xu An stood up in surprise and bowed with pressed palms. "Big Brother Chu, Siao … Aunt Siao."
Siao Shi rolled her eyes at him. "What are you doing dilly-dallying all the way here?"
Xu An felt a sense of familiarity and warmth when she glanced at him. There was no longer any awkwardness or distance between them. He scratched his head in embarrassment. "I want to observe people's hearts."
"What's there to observe? Humans are evil by nature. None of them are good people. It's fine if you don't observe." Siao Shi scoffed. "It'll be peaceful even if you don't observe."
Xu An shook his head. "Everyone has a Buddhist nature."
"Come on." Siao Shi rolled her eyes at him. She pinched her thumb and scoffed. "Only a little Buddhist nature. The rest is all demonic nature. That's why it's so hard to become a Buddha!"
Xu An was stunned. He was speechless.
Chu Li smiled. "You two talk first. I'll be back soon."
"Go." Siao Shi waved her hand. Her bright eyes stared at Xu An.
Chu Li shook his head and laughed. Her feelings for Xu An were pure concern. Xu An also saw her as family. They did not spend much time together. This was fate.
Chu Li disappeared from the tavern. His figure flashed twice and appeared in a restaurant not far away.
This restaurant was brightly lit as if it was daytime. It was much more popular than the tavern.
The third floor where he was at was quiet. The rooms were quiet and elegant. He could vaguely hear the noise from below. It was a good place to stay in the middle of the hustle and bustle.
He knocked on the door of one of the rooms.
"Come in." A melodious voice came from inside.
Chu Li pushed the door open and entered. A graceful woman was sitting inside. It was Lu Yurong.
She was holding a wine glass and raising it gently.
Chu Li sat opposite her and smiled. "Miss Lu, you really care about Xu An."
"I'm returning your favor." Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "I don't think so."
Lu Yurong smiled. "Are you afraid that I'll harm him?"
Chu Li said, "Miss Lu, your methods are not ordinary. Do you really want to take Xu An's life?"
He saw the masters surrounding Xu An. They were surrounding him. There was a murderous aura. It was obvious that they wanted to kill Xu An but were trying their best to hide their murderous aura.
