Zhou Jie slowly woke up.
When he opened his eyes and saw Chu Li, his expression changed slightly and he looked a little embarrassed.
"Young Jie, how is it?" Dong Jianxin asked.
"Master …" Zhou Jie suddenly showed a wronged expression, "Master, I was almost killed this time!"
"Who did it?" Dong Jianxin said in a low voice.
He showed an angry expression and his eyes were like lightning.
He could tolerate being wronged because his martial arts was not strong enough. In today's world, the strong were respected. Even if it was a disciple of Goddess Attraction Mountain, if their cultivation level was not high enough, it was inevitable to be wronged.
So he had to work hard to improve himself.
But he could not tolerate his disciple being wronged, it was worse than being wronged himself.
Zhou Jie said, "Leng Shouren!"
"Leng Shouren?" Dong Jianxin was stunned, "The Great Ji Emperor?"
He looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li nodded thoughtfully, "Seems like it was his inner energy … I don't know why he wanted to kill you. As an Enlightened Master, he can't simply attack or the Heavenly Rules will not tolerate it."
Dong Jianxin nodded.
He knew the rules. An Enlightened Master was more restricted.
Dong Jianxin said, "Did you offend him? Or hurt a disciple of the royal family? "
"This …" Zhou Jie showed an embarrassed expression and nodded.
Dong Jianxin frowned, "Tell me, how did he hurt him?"
Zhou Jie glanced at Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled, "How about I go back first and not disturb your conversation?"
"Junior, don't go." Dong Jianxin scoffed, "If it wasn't for your Master's Uncle, you would have lost your life. I couldn't have saved you!"
"Thank you … Master's Uncle," Zhou Jie closed fist saluted.
His breathing was already balanced, his strength was gradually returning, his injuries were rapidly recovering. He could clearly feel a strange power rapidly healing his injuries, his body was getting better.
As he marveled at Chu Li's power, he felt more and more uncomfortable. He left the mountain to avoid Chu Li. He didn't want to call him Master's Uncle, he didn't want to be stared at and sized up.
In the end, he had to save him. It was really awkward. It was as if he worked hard to escape but in the end, he still couldn't escape from his palm.
Chu Li retracted his hand and waved, "No need to be so polite. Tell me, why did you have a conflict with a disciple of the Great Ji Emperor? Did you kill or hurt him?"
"… Killed," Zhou Jie said helplessly.
Dong Jianxin frowned.
Injuring someone would be fine, but killing someone would be troublesome, especially if the person was a member of the royal family.
The descendants of the royal clan couldn't be killed. This was the common understanding of everyone, and it was also something that the heavenly deities abided by. Because everyone was a heavenly deity, once a descendant of the royal clan was killed, they had no choice but to act. Once a heavenly deity acted, if they weren't careful, they might violate the heavenly rules.
Chu Li asked, "Why did you kill them?"
"He deserves to die!" Zhou Jie snorted and said, "Running amok on the streets, riding a horse and sending several people flying, directly killing them. There were even two children. He really deserves to die!"
Chu Li frowned. "How dare you act so recklessly?"
"No one dared to interfere, but I insisted on interfering. I killed that fellow to serve as a warning to others!" Zhou Jie gritted his teeth and snorted, "Otherwise, no one in this world would dare to control these lawless descendants of the imperial family!"
"The children of the royal family are indeed a big trouble." Dong Jianxin nodded.
The Heavenly Deities didn't care about the descendants of the other Heavenly Deities, and those who weren't Heavenly Deities didn't dare to either. As such, as time flowed on, the descendants of the royal clan grew more and more domineering. No one dared to provoke them, to the point where they were completely unrestrained.
Chu Li said, "If that's the case, you were justified in killing him."
"Of course. As a disciple of Goddess Attraction Mountain, how can I kill the innocent!" Zhou Jie said proudly.
Chu Li nodded slowly and said, "Leng Shouren appeared as soon as you killed the child of the royal family?"
"Yes." Zhou Jie nodded hard. "He appeared very quickly. I don't even know if it was a trap."
Chu Li smiled. "It's really hard to say."
"Did you give your name?" Dong Jianxin scoffed with a dark expression.
Zhou Jie hurriedly said, "Master, when I saw the Heavenly Deities, I didn't dare to not give my name. If I was one step late, I would have died, so I quickly gave my name."
"Looks like your name is useful, Junior Brother." Dong Jianxin turned his head and smiled.
In a situation like Zhou Jie's, it was reasonable for an Enlightened Master to kill him. Even if Zhou Jie was a disciple of Goddess Attraction Mountain, Leng Shouren would have killed him in vain. Goddess Attraction Mountain was not in the right.
However, it was different now. Goddess Attraction Mountain had Chu Li, forming a strong deterrent. Leng Shouren did not dare to kill him, afraid that Chu Li would come looking for him.
Chu Li smiled. "He might not be afraid of me. He might be afraid of Master. If he really killed Nephew Zhou, Master might kill him out of anger."
"You are more famous than Master now." Dong Jianxin smiled. "Young Jie, you have to thank your Master's Junior. Otherwise, you would have lost your little life!"
Zhou Jie smiled awkwardly and nodded.
Chu Li said, "I will go find Leng Shouren."
"Forget it!" Dong Jianxin waved his hand.
Chu Li looked at Dong Jianxin in surprise.
His Senior Brother was a protective person and could not tolerate his disciple being bullied. He thought he would not let it go and teach Leng Shouren a lesson.
Dong Jianxin sighed. "After all, Young Jie killed him."
Chu Li looked at Zhou Jie.
Zhou Jie nodded helplessly. "Master is right. I already killed him, but he did not kill me. There is no reason to go find him."
Chu Li smiled. "Senior Brother, you can't be thinking of going yourself?"
Dong Jianxin smiled. "I would be humiliating myself if I went to find him. Forget it."
Chu Li nodded gently. "I will go and talk to him. He can't beat up our Goddess Attraction Mountain disciple for nothing. Besides, he is not in the right."
"Junior Brother, the higher your status, the more careful you have to be. Don't be arrogant." Dong Jianxin said solemnly.
Chu Li nodded.
The strong would be arrogant, and arrogance would lead to death. He understood this principle.
He returned to his courtyard first. Xiao Qi was dressed in white like snow. Suru stood by the side to serve her. The two women were watching Pang Shiji practice swordsmanship.
When Chu Li suddenly appeared, the two women sensed him and turned their heads.
He waved his hand to indicate not to disturb Pang Shiji.
Pang Shiji's expression was extremely focused. His sword was slow and calm. He looked like a master. Chu Li nodded with satisfaction, then shook his head.
Pang Shiji's swordsmanship was not bad, but his understanding of swordsmanship was quite average. It was obvious that he did not grasp the essence. He only followed the situation and did not understand the essence of swordsmanship.
Pang Shiji slowly stopped and returned his sword to its scabbard. He closed fist saluted. "Master."
He was now in awe of Chu Li. Even though he was so young, he was willing to call him Master.
Chu Li nodded. "It seems that your swordsmanship has not been mastered. If it doesn't work, you can practice the knife."
"Master, I still prefer swordsmanship." Pang Shiji was a little annoyed.
He could hear the contempt in Chu Li's tone and felt it was unbearable.
Chu Li shook his head. "You don't have to force yourself to cultivate. If swordsmanship is not suitable, you can cultivate the knife technique. If the knife technique is not suitable, you can change to the palm technique. Everyone's talent is different."
Pang Shiji said, "I want to cultivate swordsmanship."
Chu Li smiled. "Alright, then continue cultivating. It's inevitable that you will suffer more."
"I want to cultivate swordsmanship!" Pang Shiji said in a low voice.
Chu Li glanced at Xiao Qi with a smile.
Xiao Qi said, "Then cultivate swordsmanship."
Chu Li smiled. "Since Master's wife has spoken, I will cultivate swordsmanship."
Pang Shiji closed fist saluted. "Thank you, Master's wife."
