When Xue Ling returned to the courtyard, she saw Su Ru standing at the door. She was dressed in an apricot gown and was about to push the door open.
"Chief," she called out, stepping forward and bowing.
"Xue Ling, you went to the Martial Arts Hall again?" Su Ru asked with a smile.
Xue Ling said, "Thank Sun Jun and Wang Xuanyi on behalf of Master. Give them a Spirit Blessing Pill."
"Chu Li sure is generous." Suru shook her head and laughed.
Xue Ling scoffed, "What Master wants to do, who can stop him!"
Suru pursed her lips and smiled, "Look at how distressed you are. Don't worry, how can he be lacking in Spirit Blessing Pills?"
As they spoke, they pushed open the door and entered the courtyard.
Chu Li was sitting cross-legged on the low couch under the Glory's Will Tree, channeling. He was like an old monk in meditation, looking solemn.
He slowly opened his eyes and smiled at Suru. Then, he glanced at Xue Ling.
Xue Ling quickly said, "I've already given it to them … Don't worry, I'll be nice."
Only then did Chu Li nod in satisfaction.
Su Ru said, "Chu Li, you have to heal faster. We've found traces of the Thunder Guiding Blade. Lady Xiao will depart tomorrow!"
"You found it? So fast?" Chu Li was surprised.
A Grandmaster's hideout was so easily found. Even the House of High Dukes felt that it was too easy.
Su Ru smiled. "I'm just lucky. I didn't expect to find it so soon."
"How did you find it?"
"A guard overheard it while he was on a mission. He asked around and found out that the Thunder Guiding Saber had appeared in the Feng Ming Mountain area." Su Ru said, "I don't know the exact location, but he should be staying at Mount Feng Ming. Lady Xiao wants us to go there and look for him, so as not to alert the enemy."
Chu Li asked, "Is there such a coincidence?"
"Maybe God is helping Second Lady." Su Ru smiled.
Chu Li shook his head and furrowed his brows.
"Chu Li, aren't you happy to hear this news?" Su Ru tilted her head and looked at him. "Why do you look like that?"
"I'm just afraid that my love will be for nothing," Chu Li said.
Su Ru said, "We have to hide this from the Second Lady for now. When the Second Lady finds the Thunder Guiding Blade, we will tell her. When will your injury recover? Can you make it in time tomorrow? If you can't make it in time, Miss can go by herself. "
Chu Li's frown deepened.
Su Ru said, "Don't worry. Of course I'll bring a few Grandmasters with me! "
Chu Li pondered for a moment. "Alright, we'll depart tomorrow!"
"Your injury can be healed?"
"Yes, let's try."
"Don't mess around," Su Ru said, "Lady Xiao said that you have to heal your wounds bit by bit, you can't rush it."
"I have an idea," Chu Li said.
"Very well. I'll go and inform Miss. "Suru looked at him worriedly and got up to leave.

Early the next morning, the sun rose, and the golden rays illuminated the small courtyard with a golden hue.
Under the Glory's Will Tree, Chu Li woke up from his meditation.
After a night of hard work. The Finger of Annihilation was removed.
Previously, he was healing his injuries bit by bit because he wanted to feel the mysteriousness of the Perishable Touch and understand the meaning of withering. He was worried that Xiao Qi would search for the Thunder Guiding Blade alone, so he could only bear the pain and completely dispel the Perishable Touch.
Chu Li wanted to be with Xiao Qi not because he was worried about her intelligence. She had the ability to see through people's hearts, so it was not easy for her to be fooled. However, if he was by her side, he could bring her away at the crucial moment. Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, escape was the best strategy. It was considered another insurance.
Xiao Qi and Suru stepped into the small courtyard. Her white clothes fluttered in the wind, and her fragrance was refreshing. She looked at Chu Li quietly, "Are your injuries really healed?"
Chu Li nodded.
Xiao Qi sat on the edge of the bed, and her slender fingers touched his wrist. She felt his strong inner energy and nodded in satisfaction.
Chu Li felt half of his body go numb when her cool fingers touched his wrist. He tried to suppress his heartbeat, not wanting Xiao Qi to notice anything.
"It's really much better." Xiao Qi let go of her slender fingers and nodded slightly, "Follow me to Phoenix Mountain?"
Chu Li smiled, "Of course."
Xiao Qi said, "The Tempest Temple is probably still looking for an opportunity to kill you."
Chu Li smiled and did not answer. He was not afraid of being hunted by the Tempest Temple. He just had to be more careful next time.
"… Alright, just the two of us." Xiao Qi muttered, "Go quickly and come back quickly. We'll sneak away unknowingly, and there will be fewer twists and turns."
Chu Li said, "Miss. It's better to bring some Grandmaster Protectors. "
Xiao Qi frowned and looked at him.
Chu Li said, "I'm worried that Lu Yurong is not involved in this. What if this Thunder Guiding Blade was done by Lu Yurong?"
"Hmm — —?" Xiao Qi was stunned.
Although she was smart, she was not good at scheming. She was good at observing and countering every move. She was not good at taking the initiative to plot against others. She was far from Lu Yurong.
Chu Li shook his head, "Even without Lu Yurong's interference, we still have to be wary of this Thunder Guiding Blade. It's hard to tell what's in a man's heart. More than ten years have passed. Who knows what changes have happened between Thunder Guiding Blade and the High Duke?"
Xiao Qi was deep in thought.
Since Chu Li mentioned it, she really had to be wary. Lu Yurong was full of tricks and schemes. If Chu Li could predict it, Lu Yurong could.
Chu Li stared at her.
After a while, Xiao Qi shook her head, "It's still the two of us!"
Chu Li smiled helplessly.
Xiao Qi said, "If it's really Lu Yurong's plan, the two of us will leave when we see that the situation is not good. With Elder Zhao and the others, it's not good to have too many people involved. We will leave quietly and it's not easy to be plotted against."
If the two of them went together, they could hide their tracks. If they went with Zhao Qingshan and the others, it would be too conspicuous. Their whereabouts would definitely be known by others.
If it was really Lu Yurong's plan, with Zhao Qingshan and the others, they could at most not be defeated. It was impossible to win against the Ren Public House. If that was the case, why bother with them? They could just leave.
Chu Li saw that she had made up her mind and could only nod.
Xue Ling had already packed a bag and passed it to him coldly.
Chu Li glanced at her and took the bag. He left the courtyard with Xiao Qi and boarded a pleasure boat in the depths of the forest.
On the pleasure boat stood Su Ru in a lake green gown and two horses.
Chu Li recognized that they were two of the horses that were seized from the Phoenix Tree Faction. They were extraordinary.
The pleasure boat slowly left the Jade Guardian Island and entered the lake. Chu Li and the others entered the cabin.
Xiao Qi sat on the low couch by the window. Chu Li sat across from her by a low table.
Su Ru served two cups of tea and stood aside.
Chu Li smiled, "Chief, are you going too?"
Su Ru rolled her eyes at him, "Why would I go? I'm just a burden!"
Chu Li smiled. He knew that she was throwing a tantrum.
Xiao Qi said, "You can only blame yourself for not working hard. Your martial arts is sloppy and ordinary. You can't take on big responsibilities."
Su Ru said, "Who's like you two? I don't have such amazing talent!"
Xiao Qi glanced at her and said, "Chu Li, the Phoenix Cry Mountain is two thousand miles away. If we're fast, we can get there by tomorrow."
Chu Li said, "I'm just afraid that it won't be easy to find him after we enter the mountain."
Xiao Qi said, "Second Eldest Sister's condition isn't too good. We have to hurry."
Chu Li frowned, "Second Lady is sick?"
Xiao Qi sighed, "She got typhoid yesterday. It was a change in the weather. It took advantage of the situation and couldn't be prevented."
Chu Li's expression was solemn.
Siao Shi's body was too weak. To a normal person, typhoid was not too serious but to her, it was a big challenge.
"With Elder Guo's care, she should be able to pass." Xiao Qi said, "But she can pass this time. What about the future? I think her body is getting worse. "
Chu Li nodded slowly. His heart was heavy.
The pleasure boat moved silently. After the time it took to drink tea, the pleasure boat docked.
