When Chu Li returned to the Glory's Will Courtyard, he lay on the bed and closed his eyes. He relaxed his mind and did not think about anything. He used the Zen Meditation technique to be free of worries, without any form or self.
He only opened his eyes when Xue called him over for dinner. The bedroom was already dark and the windows were dyed red by the sunset glow.
He left the bedroom and went to the main hall. Xue Ling had already laid out the dishes.
Chu Li glanced at the square table. There were eight dishes and two soups. It was a lot richer than usual.
"What's the occasion today?" Chu Li sat down.
Xue sat opposite him. She first held the pot with both hands and filled the white jade cup. While she was filling it up, she asked, "Master, I heard that you guys destroyed the Phoenix Tree Faction today?"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Her eyes were bright and sparkling. "It's true, right?"
"You're quite well-informed," Chu Li said.
Xue Ling smiled and said, "It's spread all over the Martial Arts Hall!"
Chu Li nodded. "Yes, I destroyed the Phoenix Tree Faction. It's just a small faction, it's no big deal."
"Phoenix Tree Sect!" Xue Ling exclaimed, "I heard that this faction had just risen and was quite powerful. How could it be destroyed so quickly? Could it be that Young Master still holds a grudge against them for causing trouble in Leisure Cloud Pub? "
"You don't know the reason?" Chu Li asked.
Xue Ling said, "They said that the Phoenix Tree Faction broke the rules in the city and killed someone."
Chu Li picked up the white jade cup and took a sip.
"How dare he kill someone in the city?" Xue scoffed. "He must be crazy!"
"It's not surprising that he's so arrogant after achieving his goals."
"But who doesn't know that if anyone dares to kill someone in the city, the High Duke's Public House will definitely hunt them down and never let them go?" Xue Ling said, "Aren't they afraid?"
"Since he dares to kill people in the city, he naturally isn't afraid."
"They must be hoping that they won't be able to find anything!"
"Mm." Chu Li casually picked up a piece of pork rib and chewed it slowly.
Xue Ling stared at him with her bright eyes. "Master, you've destroyed an entire sect. Don't you feel anything?"
"How do you feel?" Chu Li took a sip of wine.
"Don't you think you're amazing? Aren't you excited at all?" Xue looked at him helplessly. "Master, you're such a killjoy!"
Chu Li glared at her. "What's so exciting about killing people? You are also an Innate Expert now. You can be a bodyguard! "
"I think it's better for me to be a Scribe," Xue Ling scoffed.
Once she became a guard. She needed to take on missions. She couldn't always stay by his side to serve him. He had a lot of problems and was hard to please. However, without his help, he would not be able to become an Innate Master. Once he became an Innate Master, he would run off to become a guard and not serve him. It was not right.
"Just do it if you want to. There's no need to accommodate me. "
"I'm not accommodating you." Xue Ling shook her head, "Master, I heard that we injured ten innate masters. Is the Phoenix Tree Faction really that powerful?"
"They have quite a number of masters," Chu Li said.
"Well, they were still destroyed by you guys!" Xue Ling said proudly.
Chu Li looked at her and sighed. "Alright, I'll make things clear to you."
Although Xue Ling looked cold and indifferent, she was not naive at all. After all, she had been living on the Jade Guardian Island for a long time. She did not have much experience in scheming. She knew that people were vicious but she did not have a deep understanding of them. Once they went out, they would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Chu Li reminded, "Don't tell anyone about this."
"I know, I know. I won't tell anyone!" Xue quickly nodded. "Tell me, tell me!"
Chu Li said, "This is a trap set up by the Ren Public House. We have to start from when Jiang Kuai was patrolling the town …"
He finished the whole story in one breath.
Xue Ling's eyes widened and looked at him in shock. "It's a trap?"
Chu Li nodded and drank the jade cup in one gulp.
Xue Ling refilled his cup subconsciously and said in surprise, "What kind of brain does Lu Yurong have? How could she come up with such an idea?"
"So don't think that you're smart," Chu Li sighed. "There are many smart people!"
Xue Ling sighed. "Our Public House is really unlucky to have become enemies with Lu Yurong."
"We'll just deal with it when it comes. We can't just lower our heads and beg for mercy." Chu Li took a sip of wine. "This woman is really ruthless. It's impossible to guard against her. "
"We don't know how many times we've been taken advantage of by her." Xue Ling scoffed and then pursed her lips into a smile. "But Master, you're amazing. You've broken through a few plots and caused her to suffer heavy casualties. She must hate you to death! "
Chu Li smiled.
The Ren Public House could not wait to kill him. However, he had cultivated the Imminent Skyline and could threaten a Grandmaster. Lu Yurong had to be cautious.
Unfortunately, he had never met Lu Yurong. He had to familiarize himself with Lu Yurong's thoughts so that he would not fall into her trap.
Chu Li knew. In terms of intelligence and cunning, he was not as good as Lu Yurong. Without the Omniscient Mirror, he would have been tricked long ago. He had an unfair advantage but it was still a victory. It was better than losing.
If he had to abandon the Omniscient Mirror to fight with Lu Yurong, he would have lost his life.
"If you're a Protector, it's inevitable that you'll meet such a person." Chu Li shook his head. "With your martial arts, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape."
Xue Ling frowned. "It's rare to see such a difficult person, right?"
Chu Li scoffed. "If Lu Yurong wants to deal with the Protectors of our Public House, it won't be your turn, right?"
Xue Ling's frown deepened. "Master, don't scare me!"
Chu Li glanced at her. "You think I'm scaring you?"
Xue Ling scoffed. "I'm not going to be a Protector. Don't worry!"
Chu Li laughed. "It's still safer to stay in the Public House."
Xue Ling rolled her eyes at him and scoffed, "I understand now. You just want me to serve you."
As the two of them bickered, there was a knock on the door.
Xue Ling glided to the entrance of the courtyard. She opened the door and curtsied. "My Lady!"
Xiao Qi wore a white gown and slowly walked in. She glanced at Chu Li in the hall.
Chu Li stood up and closed fist saluted.
"Let's go and see Second Eldest Sister." Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li quickly said, "I'm coming!"
Xue Ling quickly took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to Chu Li. Chu Li carelessly wiped his hands and returned it to her. He then followed Xiao Qi out of the courtyard.
The two of them strolled in the lush forest.
The night was like water. The moonlight shone everywhere. The low chirping of insects was endless.
"Second Eldest Sister doesn't look too good." Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li sighed. "Second Lady doesn't have much time left. The Longevity Grass is blocked by the Vitality Sealing Finger. The only way is to remove the Vitality Sealing Finger."
"We can't conclude that it's the Vitality Sealing Finger yet."
"The Longevity Grass doesn't work. It's enough to show that it's the Vitality Sealing Finger." Chu Li frowned. "Second Lady doesn't have much time left. We can't delay any longer."
Xiao Qi was silent for a moment. She lightly said, "Let's see Second Eldest Sister first."
The bright moon on the lake swayed gently. The small boat broke the tranquility of the lake.
When the two of them stepped on the Island of Symphony, the surrounding Protectors did not move.
The island was brightly lit. The sound of the guzheng drifted leisurely. It traveled far in the night sky along the surface of the lake.
Chu Li felt the calmness and detachment in the sound of the guzheng.
"It's the sound of Second Eldest Sister." Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li nodded. From the sound of the guzheng, he knew that Siao Shi had seen through life and death. She accepted reality and did not care about death.
If she cultivated Buddhism with this state of mind, she would definitely advance a thousand miles in a day. Unfortunately, with this state of mind, she would not cultivate Buddhism.
The two of them passed through the brightly lit sea of flowers. They arrived at the pagoda in the middle of the sea of flowers.
