"Master!" Sun Mingyue called out as she caught up to Chu Li and grabbed his hand.
Chu Li shook his head and avoided her hand.
Song Wanqing frowned as she glared at Sun Mingyue and snorted, "Alright, let him go!"
Her curiosity was piqued and she wanted to figure out what was going on. No matter how powerful a Grandmaster was, they would not be able to withstand a blow from an Enlightened Master. Yet, he was an exception.
Sun Mingyue let out a sigh of relief.
Chu Li gave a fist salute and said, "Goodbye!"
Sun Mingyue frowned as she watched him leave. She looked worried.
Song Wanqing blinked her bright eyes and took in her expression. She sighed inwardly. It seemed that she really had someone in her heart, and it was this strange brat.
"Who is he?" Song Wanqing snorted, "Stop looking, you've lost your soul!"
Sun Mingyue's face turned red. She turned her head and said angrily, "Master, I told you that he saved my life. You …"
"I only know that he's a thief who stole your heart!" Song Wanqing snorted and said, "He's a damned fellow!"
Sun Mingyue shook her head.
"Hurry up and tell me, who is he?" Song Wanqing snorted.
"… Chu Li," Sun Mingyue replied.
Song Wanqing thought for a moment, "It can't be that Chu Li from the Great Ji, right?"
"Yes." Sun Mingyue nodded.
"Why are you two together?" Song Wanqing said.
Back then, she had not been able to sense Sun Mingyue, so she had been tracking her down. Eventually, she found out that Sun Mingyue was with the newly promoted Law King, Zhao Dahe. Since she could not find any other clues, her intuition told her that Sun Mingyue was not dead.
The moment Sun Mingyue left the formation, she sensed it and immediately rushed over.
When he saw Chu Li holding Sun Mingyue's hand while shirtless, he was instantly enraged and wanted to kill her. He did not expect Chu Li to be able to withstand more than ten hits. It was very strange.
Sun Mingyue hesitated.
She was afraid that if she revealed that Chu Li had infiltrated the Holy Church of Light and become a Priest, her master would want to kill him again.
"Yo, you still want to hide it from me?" Song Wanqing smiled and said, "You've really grown up!"
Sun Mingyue said in embarrassment, "Master, this is a long story. Let's go back and talk about it in detail."
"Then what's going on down there?" Song Wanqing pointed at the valley below.
Sun Mingyue shook her head. "It's a Ten Ultimate Origin Locking Formation."
"Ten Absolute Origin Lock Formation …" Song Wanqing thought for a moment, "I've never heard of it."
Sun Mingyue glided away. She did not want to get any closer to the formation. This time, she had Chu Li to help her escape. If she were to fall into it again without Chu Li's help, it would be hard to say whether she would survive or not.
The two of them returned to the Great Light Peak in an instant. They entered a simple yet elegant courtyard and sat in a quaint gazebo. Song Wanqing sipped her tea as she slowly listened to Sun Mingyue's account of what had happened.
Sun Mingyue decided to come clean.
After Song Wanqing heard this, her bright eyes flickered as if she was deep in thought.
Sun Mingyue stared at her, worried that she was going to kill Chu Li.
"Do you want to marry him?" Song Wanqing said.
Sun Mingyue was stunned and shook her head helplessly. "It's impossible between the two of us."
"Why is it impossible!" Song Wanqing scoffed. "It's not like the Bishop of the Holy Church of Light has to be unmarried. He can get married!"
"That's still impossible," Sun Mingyue said.
Song Wanqing frowned at her. "You don't want to marry him?"
"He already has a wife." Sun Mingyue said, "Moreover, he won't marry anyone else."
"He's also an infatuated person?" Song Wanqing scoffed. "With your beauty, you won't be able to charm him?"
"Xiao Qi is not inferior to me." Sun Mingyue shook her head.
"Look at you!" Song Wanqing said impatiently. "You don't have the aura of a Saint!"
Sun Mingyue smiled embarrassedly.
Song Wanqing said, "What do you want to do then? You won't become his lover, will you? "
Although men were respected in this world and it was normal to have three or six wives, it also depended on who it was. With Sun Mingyue's status, it was impossible for her to become someone's concubine, even if she liked it.
Sun Mingyue remained silent.
As she thought about it, her eyes became misty and she sighed faintly. "Just treat it as a dream and forget about him."
Song Wanqing said, "Why don't I go and kill Xiao Qi?"
She understood her disciple the best. No one could enter her heart, but once it was entered, it could not be removed. The two of them were so intimate, how could she treat it as a dream?
She was just deceiving herself.
Sun Mingyue quickly shook her head. "Master, you mustn't."
"Chu Li is really lucky," Song Wanqing scoffed. Song Wanqing snorted: "No wonder you jumped to this level in two years, being able to block my palm force, this Supreme Diamond Sutra seems to be a celestial technique, but it's useless to you, after I leave, you will be an Empyrean God, so forget about it, and also forget about Chu Li!"
Sun Mingyue's eyes flickered and she nodded lightly.
Song Wanqing looked at her and felt helpless. Even an Enlightened Master was not omnipotent, especially when it came to matters of the heart. She did not know anything, so why should she help her disciple?

Jade Guardian Island
At noon, Xiao Qi was looking through files at the Stargazing Tower and helping with the affairs of the residence.
Suru, dressed in an apricot gown, floated in and stood quietly at the side.
Xiao Qi put down the file and looked up at her.
"My Lady, something happened," Suru said softly.
Xiao Qi continued to stare at her.
Suru said softly, "One of our maids was captured, but Liu Kuang and Zheng Jiali rushed out to save her. They haven't returned yet."
Xiao Qi said, "Didn't you tell them not to leave the residence?"
Suru sighed. "That maid's name is Zheng Xueli."
Xiao Qi frowned. "Zheng Jiali's daughter? Liu Kuang's sweetheart? "
Suru nodded lightly.
There were hundreds of Protectors and scribes in the residence, and they were all in Xiao Qi and Suru's heads. They could match their names.
Xiao Qi said, "Only the two of them? How long have they been gone? "
"They went in the morning and haven't returned yet." Suru sighed. "They went secretly and hid it from others. They were only found out when I went to check. How infuriating!"
"Why didn't Zheng Jiali report that Zheng Xueli was captured? Does he not trust the House of High Dukes?" Xiao Qi frowned.
Suru did not say anything.
Xiao Qi scoffed. "Everyone is dissatisfied with being holed up like this? All of you are holding your breath? "
"Yes." Suru carefully looked at her. "Everyone knows that Miss is doing this out of kindness, but they feel suffocated. They feel that they are useless, and also feel that Miss is looking down on them. They feel that they are useless, and they feel that Miss is looking down on them.
Xiao Qi frowned. "They don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Chu Li was afraid that the House of High Dukes would suffer too many losses and hurt the vitality of the House of High Dukes. That was why the House of High Dukes avoided the battle while he personally fought back.
When the Protectors of the House of High Dukes saw how the Church of the Divine Blood and Sword Moon Sect masters were easily defeated, they felt that it was nothing.
Seeing was believing. They did not personally experience the Church of the Divine Blood and Sword Moon Sect masters, so they did not believe it at all. That was why this happened. It was hard to tell whether it was a blessing or a curse.
"Lady Xiao, what should we do?" Suru asked softly.
Xiao Qi said, "We can only look for them."
"Lady Xiao, Chief won't allow us to go out." Suru quickly said.
Xiao Qi said, "Report the information first."
"Yes." Suru nodded and fluttered out.
Xiao Qi frowned and pondered. She decided that she must go or else the House of High Dukes would be disloyal and hated by everyone.
