"Alright, we'll pass it on." One of the young men in purple nodded and disappeared into the white mist.
The other young man in purple stood where he was and looked at Zhu Cheng and Zhu Da calmly.
Zhu Cheng and Zhu Da looked at him too. The three of them stared at each other as if they were competing but they only exchanged glances and did not make a move.
The young man in purple fluttered up the mountain and went around the basilica at the front. He arrived at a delicate and elegant courtyard and knocked on the door. "Master's Junior Li."
"Come in!" Li Zidong's voice came from the courtyard.
The young man in purple pushed the door open and saw Li Zidong drinking tea in the gazebo. He looked relaxed and was holding a spirit herb in his hand. He was examining it carefully with an intoxicated look on his face.
The young man in purple carefully walked to the gazebo with light footsteps so as not to disturb him.
After a while, Li Zidong regained his senses and turned to look at him. He carefully placed the Murky Heavenly Grass back into the jade box and coughed. He asked gently, "Young Zhou, what's the matter?"
Young Zhou walked up the stairs to the gazebo and closed fist saluted. He handed over the visiting card and a letter. "Master's Junior, a disciple from the Holy Church of Light came to deliver a letter."
"Holy Church of Light?" Li Zidong scoffed and waved his hand. "Just send him away!"
"This is Chu Li's letter from Goddess Attraction Mountain," Young Zhou said.
Li Zidong's hand stopped in the air and snatched the visiting card and letter. He said angrily, "Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Young Zhou did not expect Li Zidong to take it so seriously. He opened his mouth but did not dare to retort.
Li Zidong had a big head and a short body. He looked a little strange. His face was solemn and his eyes were bright. Young Zhou was so scared that he did not dare to breathe.
After a while, Young Zhou could not help but interrupt Li Zidong's daze. "Master's Junior?"
Li Zidong seemed to have woken up and turned to glare at him. "Shut up!"
Young Zhou shrunk his neck and shut his mouth without saying a word.
Li Zidong looked at the letter and then at the jade box. His face was full of reluctance. He knew how rare the Muddy Heavenly Grass was. In this world, there was only one stalk. He had waited ten years for this spirit herb!
"Haha … Junior Brother Li, I'm here!" A burst of hearty laughter rang out as the courtyard door was pushed open. A barefooted old man walked in with large strides. His round belly was exposed, and he had a lion's nose and leopard's eyes.
Seeing Little Zhou standing there carefully while Li Zidong stared at the letter with a gloomy expression, the barefoot old man came to the pagoda and sat opposite Li Zidong with a smile. "What's going on?"
Li Zidong snapped, "Senior Brother Zhou, what are you doing here!"
"Ask for a cup of Sapphire Love." Senior Brother Zhou chuckled and said, "Who are you angry at? Did this brat make you angry?"
"Grandpa!" Little Zhou quickly shook his head.
Zhou Lu turned his head to look at the visiting card in Li Zidong's hand. He smiled and asked, "Who wants to go up the mountain?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his thick and long fingers and snatched the visiting card away. He flipped it open and glanced at it. A smile appeared on his face. "Oh, it's this Chu Li? That Chu Li who's in the limelight? "
"Who else could it be?!" Li Zidong scoffed.
"It's a good thing that he's here to visit the mountain. We wanted to see how powerful he is." Zhou Lu smiled. "Why do you look so worried, Junior Brother Li? Did you offend him?"
Li Zidong shook his head and sighed. "I didn't offend him. We've crossed paths before. Unfortunately, things have changed. Chu Li is no longer the Chu Li of the past!"
"Is this his letter?" Zhou Lu snatched the letter again and quickly scanned through it.
Li Zidong did not fight for it and let him read it.
Zhou Lu put down the letter and scoffed. "This brat really hides a dagger behind his smile. First, he reminisced about the past as if he was reminiscing about their friendship. Then, he talked about the importance of the Heavenly Grass to him … He didn't say anything threatening. Instead, he revealed his true intentions. It really leaves me speechless!"
"Yes." Li Zidong sighed. "I've always known how powerful he is."
"Then what do you plan to do?" Zhou Lu scoffed. "Junior Brother Li, you won't just hand it over like this, will you?"
Li Zidong smiled bitterly. "What else can I do?"
"You're not going to test his capabilities?" Zhou Lu asked. "Are you willing to hand it over just like this?"
"There's no need to test it." Li Zidong shook his head. "He truly lives up to his reputation. It's best if we don't force it, so it's better to give it to him."
"You're embarrassed, aren't you?" Zhou Lu smiled. "After all, you're willing to hand it over with just a few words from a junior."
"What else can I do?" Li Zidong scoffed. "In this world, the strong are respected. Age is not important at all. If I don't hand it over now, I'll still have to hand it over in the end. Instead, I'll be at a disadvantage. It's better to hand it over now."
"Hmm, you're right to think that way." Zhou Lu chuckled. "Alright, it's just a stalk of Heavenly Grass. We'll just look for more."
Li Zidong sighed.
Zhou Lu naturally knew how rare the Heavenly Grass was. It was extremely rare in the world and it took ten years of hard work to obtain it. Yet, they had to hand it over the moment they obtained it. No one would not feel aggrieved.
It was already rare that Junior Brother Li Zidong could control his temper and hand it over. If it were someone younger, he would definitely be indignant. In the end, it would attract Chu Li's revenge. If Li Zidong personally made a move, it would be big trouble.
He deliberately played it down so as not to provoke Li Zidong further.
Lil Zhou was indignant. "Master's Junior Li, are you really going to hand it over to Chu Li? Isn't he being too overbearing?! "
Zhou Lu glared at him.
Lil Zhou refused to back down. "Chu Li is just a citizen of the Ji Dynasty. The Emperor's ascension might not be due to Chu Li's ability. It might just be a coincidence!"
He did not believe that Chu Li could achieve such a level of martial arts at such a young age. A Grandmaster killing an Enlightened Master was a joke. It was impossible!
"Shut up!" Zhou Lu shouted. He glared at him with murderous intent. "Do you have a death wish?"
"Grandpa — —!" Lil Zhou was still indignant.
Zhou Lu sneered. "Even Master's Junior Li can't afford to offend Chu Li, yet you're not convinced? Do you think that your Master's Junior Li is blind and that the older he is in the martial world, the more timid he becomes? That he'll obediently hand over the spirit herb just because Chu Li scared him? "
"I didn't mean that!" Lil Zhou hurriedly said.
Zhou Lu scoffed. "You're like a frog at the bottom of a well. Your Master's Junior Li has fought Chu Li before. He knows how powerful he is, which is why he's so afraid. With your cultivation level, you're not even fit to carry Chu Li's shoes. How dare you look down on him!"
Lil Zhou took a deep breath. He was extremely angry.
Li Zidong waved his hand. "Forget it. Who hasn't been young before? We were the same back then. We were fearless and thought that we were the best in the world!"
Zhou Lu glared at Lil Zhou. "Chu Li's martial arts is no longer the same as before. If you continue to be stubborn, you'll lose your life!"
"Yes, Lil Zhou. You're not allowed to leave the mountain!" Li Zidong scoffed.
Lil Zhou nodded helplessly. "Yes."
Li Zidong took a deep breath and passed the jade box to him. "Go. Hand it over to those two. Don't say anything else!"
"Yes." Lil Zhou took it with both hands.
Zhou Lu shouted, "What are you waiting for? Get lost!"
His bare feet flew up and kicked Lil Zhou out of the gazebo. He flew over the wall and landed outside.
Lil Zhou dusted himself off and stood firmly outside the courtyard.
He had always felt indignant. Chu Li's actions were too much. He did not respect the Great One Palace at all!
Li Zidong sighed. "Senior Zhou, let's spread the news."
