"Sister Ho, what's wrong with him?" Sunflower turned to look at Holly, "We're not spiritual beasts, why is he afraid of us?"
Holly shook her head, "Master Chu is just being kind."
"What kind of kind?"
"Sigh … we should stay away from the House of High Dukes." Holly shook her head, "Sister Sun, after we return to the valley, don't tell Master about this."
"Why?" Sunflower shook Holly with her left hand, "Sister Ho, just tell me, don't keep me in suspense!"
"Sigh …" Holly sighed, "Master's father was killed by the House of High Dukes."
Sunflower scoffed, "The House of High Dukes can't just kill for no reason, right?"
"Master's father killed a corrupt official." Holly said.
"Corrupt officials should be killed!" Sunflower scoffed, "What's wrong with that?"
Holly's face darkened, "Have you forgotten the rules of our Tai Hua Valley?"
"You can't attack the officials of the Imperial Court." Sunflower pouted, "What kind of rule is that!"
She was very dissatisfied with this rule, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Just because they were officials, they could do evil and bully the people?
But the rules of the valley were rules, if violated, they would be expelled from Tai Hua Valley. She could only obey.
Holly said, "It doesn't matter if the officials are good or bad, if you kill them, the House of High Dukes will arrest the murderer. Even the Tempest Temple won't kill officials of the Imperial Court, let alone us."
"Monks don't kill people." Sunflower said.
Holly said, "If you dare to kill an official, you won't be able to escape the pursuit of the House of High Dukes. Our valley will also be implicated."
Sunflower scoffed, she had nothing to say.
Holly said, "Think about how Master feels. She can't take revenge, and she has to hide from them. She gets angry when she hears about the House of High Dukes. Don't make her angry! "
"She's really annoying!" Sunflower sighed.
Zhang Feihua, who had been silent all this while, said, "It seems that Master Chu knows about the valley leader's past."
"Sigh …" Holly shook her head and sighed.
"Not everyone in the House of High Dukes is bad. Master Chu is a good person." Zhang Feihua said.
"Unfortunately, he's from the Public House," Zhang Feihua said.
Sun Lihua pouted. He snorted.
He Binghua stared at the direction where Chu Li had disappeared and was lost in her thoughts for a while. Then, her guilt turned into a sigh. "Let's go, we should hurry on with our journey."
"Senior Martial Sister He. The Yi Public House is in Chong Ming Town, right? "
"Yes."
"Let's go to Chong Ming Town too. Why don't we catch up with Young Master Chu and follow him?"
"Are you trying to piss me off?" Zhang Feihua asked.
Sun Lihua rolled her eyes. "Just don't let Master know."
He Bing Hua said, "I don't think Master Chu wants to be too close to us. Let's go our separate ways."
Sun Lihua pouted her lips and sulked.
The three of them left the post house and galloped away.
The weather in September could change at will. Just a moment ago, the sun was shining brightly, scorching and threatening. But now, dark clouds were surging, covering the sky and covering the sun.
They sped up, but they still couldn't escape the heavy rain. After a while, it was pouring.
They didn't dare to stop in the middle of the road. If it kept raining, they wouldn't be able to walk. They could only rush forward in the wind and rain. Even though they had martial arts, they were still physically and mentally exhausted.
After walking for half a day, they finally saw a small town – Desolate Town. They hurriedly entered the town. They found a tavern and changed their clothes and dried their hair.
When they came out, the lanterns were already lit.
It was still raining outside.
They came to the hall of the tavern and wanted to make do with a meal. The food in the tavern was not as good as the ones in the restaurants, but it was enough to fill their stomachs.
As soon as the three of them stepped into the hall, they were immediately attracted to them.
They were used to it. Their bright eyes glanced around and suddenly, they saw Chu Li sitting in the corner.
Sun Lihua pulled He Bing Hua and Zhang Feihua and walked towards Chu Li's table with light steps. She smiled sweetly and said, "Young Master Chu, can we sit?"
Chu Li looked around. Almost all the tables around him were filled with people. Only his table was empty.
He had a sword on his waist. He was dressed in a brocade robe. The jade on his waist was as warm as water. Coupled with his dignified bearing, most of the guests who came and went avoided him.
"Young Master Chu –!" Sun Lihua saw his hesitation and called out in dissatisfaction.
Chu Li smiled and nodded, "Please sit."
Bing Hua smiled, "Sorry to disturb you. Young Master Chu Li. "
Chu Li also smiled, "I didn't expect to see you again."
"Let's pay for this meal." Bing Hua said, "This is a small token of our appreciation."
Chu Li happily nodded and agreed.
After a while, the table was filled with eight delicious dishes. He had already ordered them. They were the most expensive dishes in the tavern.
He was rich and would not treat his mouth unfairly. He picked the best dishes.
The three girls ordered a few more expensive dishes. Tai Hua Valley did not have to worry about food and clothing.
—
"Young Master Chu, we are also going to Chong Ming Town." Sun Lihua poured a glass of wine for Chu Li and said with a smile, "We are going the same way."
"Sister Sun!" Bing Hua frowned.
Sun Lihua did not care, "Since we are going the same way, isn't it better to go together?"
Chu Li smiled.
Bing Hua said, "Young Master Chu, my master is in Chong Ming Town. We are going to meet up there. If you don't mind, we can go together."
Chu Li said, "This … if your master finds out, you will be punished."
Bing Hua said, "If my master knows that you saved us, he will not blame us."
"To be able to travel with the three of you is a blessing from my past life." Chu Li smiled, "Unfortunately, I have some matters to attend to in town. I don't know how long it will take."
"Then we will wait for you!" Sun Lihua said.
"Sister Sun!" Bing Hua glanced at her and turned her head, "We can't let master wait for too long. We have to hurry. I'm really sorry."
She could tell that Chu Li did not want to be too close to the three of them. He was trying to avoid arousing suspicion. Although she was not happy, she did not force him.
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Sun Lihua stared at Chu Li with dissatisfaction and lowered her head to eat.
Chu Li only smiled and did not say anything.
It was better not to be too close to the people from Tai Hua Valley. What if the disciples of Tai Hua Valley committed a crime in the future and he wanted to kill them?
Being close to them would be asking for trouble. The best way was to keep a distance.
The rain came and went quickly. It cleared up in the middle of the night and a strong wind blew the ground dry. They could walk in the morning.
Bing Hua and the other two girls left after breakfast. They sped along the way.
After running for more than twenty miles, they suddenly heard the sound of galloping horses. In the blink of an eye, they had overtaken them and stopped. They were lined up in a row, blocking the road.
Bing Hua and the other two girls' faces changed.
There were four horses in front of them, all disciples of Green Hill. Other than Xu Shixiao and the other two, there was also a man in his thirties. He had a long and narrow face and a long and narrow knife at his waist. It was a strange style.
"Xu Shixiao, why are you here again?" Sun Lihua scoffed, "Move!"
Xu Shixiao said lightly, "This is my third brother, He Xinting. He is here to ask for advice from Miss He!"
"How shameless. You lost and you came to find your brother!" Sun Lihua pouted.
Bing Hua's beautiful face was serious as she stared at He Xinting.
He Xinting glanced at the three girls lazily and said, "You can come at me together. I don't want people to say that I am bullying the weak. You have lost. I won't kill you, I will only destroy your martial arts! "
His voice was dry and hoarse as if he had been burned by charcoal soup.
He did not wait for the three girls to speak and leaped from the back of his horse. The long knife at his waist turned into a ray of light and slashed towards Bing Hua.
The three girls drew their swords and waved them. Instantly, the sword light exploded and blocked He Xinting's long knife.
He Xinting frowned. He thought that it would be a piece of cake. He did not expect the three of them to be so powerful. Tai Hua Valley's Combined Attack Technique lived up to its name!
"Ding, ding, ding, ding …" The four of them attacked continuously with their swords.
He Xinting used the momentum of the sword to step back and returned to his horse. "Good, no wonder Xu Shixiao lost. Not bad, let's go! "
He pulled the reins and turned his horse around. Xu Shixiao and the other two quickly followed.
"Hmph, running away when you can't win. Green Hill!" Sun Lihua pouted. She smiled and said, "Senior Sister He, Green Hill is only so-so!"
Bing Hua shook her head and frowned as she watched the four of them leave.
They ran for another ten miles and another five people blocked their way.
Other than Xu Shixiao and the other three, there was a skinny young man who was about the same age as He Xinting. His face was delicate and his eyes were dark. He gave off a vicious vibe.
Sun Lihua asked angrily, "Xu, do you people from Green Hill have no shame? You beat one after another. Are you going to ask your faction leader to come out in the end?"
"This is Senior Brother Feng Shaohua, Feng Shaohua!" Xu Shixiao pointed at the delicate young man beside him and said in a low voice, "If you can defeat Senior Brother Feng, then we will forget about all the grudges between us!"
"Fine, you said it!" Sun Lihua scoffed. "Hurry up and do it, Shaohua? Gather? Arrogant? Lower Wuwu
The three of them pulled out their swords and leaped towards Feng Shaohua.
Feng Shaohua sat firmly on his horse and waited for the three swords to reach him. The long knife on his waist turned into a silver ray and swept towards their throats.
The three of them retreated and landed back on their horses.
Feng Shao Hua flew up, his blade aura was like a waterfall, falling towards He Bing Hua.
The three of them swung their swords again.
"Ding …" The swords of the three women flew out of their hands.
Feng Shaohua's cultivation level was far higher than the three of them. Even if the three of them worked together, they would not be able to defeat him.
Their hands were empty as they watched Feng Shaohua's long knife close to their throats.
He was obviously going to kill them. He did not just want to cripple their martial arts. With this knife, their heads would be separated from their bodies.
"Ding …" Sun Lihua had just closed her eyes when she heard a clear sound.
She quickly opened her eyes and saw Feng Shaohua sitting on his horse with a gloomy face. His hands were empty. Following their gaze, she saw the long knife stuck in a tree ten meters away, the handle trembling.
"Who are you? Please show yourself!" Feng Shaohua shouted coldly.
There was no sound except for the sound of the wind.
Feng Shaohua said coldly, "Green Hill is here. If we have disturbed you in any way, please forgive us!"
There was still only the sound of the wind.
Feng Shaohua's gloomy eyes fell on the three women. He laughed coldly and flew ten meters away like a hawk. He pulled out his long knife and landed on his horse's back. He lifted the reins and turned to leave.
The crowd quickly followed and in the blink of an eye, they were out of sight.
Bing Hua closed fist saluted and raised her voice. "Is it Master Chu?"
There was no movement.
Bing Hua sighed and raised her voice. "Thank you, Master Chu. I will repay you in the future!"
The three women then continued on their way.
Chu Li appeared from the forest and looked at the disappearing silhouettes of the three women. He shook his head and laughed. He had saved their lives again. It seemed that they were fated to be in Tai Hua Valley.
