Chu Li sighed. "Of course, because the Second Young Master and Deputy Leader Qian are wearing treasures that hide them from the heavens, it's not that clear. I can only vaguely deduce it. I can't guarantee that it's 100% accurate."
Xue Luoyu's expression changed slightly, but she remained silent.
She had spent a lot of effort to find out who her Second Brother's enemy was, but this was the result. She was wrong. It was not Qian Chenguang who killed him, but the Heavenly Demon who framed him.
If she acted rashly, she might really become a fool and a laughing stock, which would be what the Heavenly Demon wanted.
However, she subconsciously refused to accept it. What if Chu Li was wrong?
The two jade pendants on the table were broken. One was cut off by a knife, and the other was hit with a broken corner.
Chu Li pointed at the jade pendant that had a corner knocked off and sighed. "If I'm not mistaken, this Deputy Palace Leader Qian is currently in the Outer Boundary Battleground. Moreover, he's met with a life or death crisis.
Xue Luoyu frowned as she stared at the jade pendant on the table.
Chu Li accurately pointed out which jade pendant belonged to Qian Chenguang. Xue Luoyu was sure that he had re-cultivated the Heavenly Heart Technique.
Chu Li said, "Even if Deputy Leader Qian is the murderer of the Second Young Master, you don't have to do it yourself. He probably won't make it through this time."
"He's the deputy leader …" Xue Luoyu said slowly.
Chu Li said, "Even the leader was heavily injured, let alone the deputy leader!"
"That's true!" Xue Luoyu nodded.
Her father was severely injured and almost lost his life. If the deputy leader was the leader of that operation, he would've died without a doubt.
"Shall we wait and see?" Xue Luoyu stared at him.
Chu Li shook his head. "It's up to you, Lady. I'll only say what I know. I don't dare to interfere with your decision."
"Mm, let's wait and see." Xue Luoyu nodded in satisfaction.
If Chu Li were to point fingers at her now, she would definitely make him understand the difference between him and her, and what his identity was. What made her feel relaxed and happy was that Chu Li knew his limits. It was rare that he did not become arrogant despite his martial arts.
For the rest of the time, Chu Li returned to his original position. He stood motionless at the side and secretly deduced and comprehended the Scroll of Indifference.
His comprehension of the Unruffled Heavenly Book was merely superficial and far from reaching true comprehension.
The Heavenly Book of Indifference was profound and unfathomable. The more he comprehended it, the more he felt it to be exquisite. The Sword of Indifference above his head became more and more flexible, and it had many unimaginable uses. The Size Manipulation was only the most basic. It could also change its shape, turning into a thin thread, a long knife, or even a long spear or a thick stick. It was truly unpredictable and formless.
Xue Luoyu stayed in the back garden for a day. After playing the zither, she began to practice Kung Fu. Then she read, played the zither, and practiced Kung Fu again. She spent almost all her time practicing Kung Fu and reading. She only adjusted her mood by playing the zither.
Chu Li admired her hard work and self-discipline. As expected of someone with great ambitions.
On the morning of the fourth day, Chu Li arrived at the backyard of the Ninth Princess' Residence in the drizzle. He stood in the gazebo and listened to Xue Luoyu play the guzheng.
Xue Luoyu was no longer wearing her veil in front of him. She played the zither with her bare hands, and the sound of the zither was leisurely.
After a while, the sound of the zither stopped.
Xue Luoyu was dressed in a light yellow gown. Her face was bright and flawless as if she was carved out of white jade.
She looked at the drizzling lake and sighed. "I received news today that Qian Chenguang has been rescued!"
Chu Li said, "Looks like he's lucky. He's the deputy temple leader after all!"
"Heaven Shaking Brothel also predicted that he would be in trouble. They brought a few Supreme Masters into the extraterrestrial battlefield as reinforcements and rescued him." Xue Luoyu scoffed. "If it wasn't for Heaven Shaking Brothel, he would've died. I heard that he was ambushed by a few Great Asuras."
She stared at Chu Li with her bright eyes. She no longer doubted his Tianxin Technique.
Chu Li said, "The Asuras are getting more and more arrogant these days!"
"There's Heaven Shaking Brothel." Xue Luoyu slapped the white jade railing. "Looks like we won't be able to avenge Second Brother."
Chu Li said, "Second Young Master died at the hands of the Heavenly Demon. The only way to avenge him is to kill the Heavenly Demon."
Xue Luoyu gritted her teeth and gripped the white jade railing tightly. Her jade-like hands subconsciously sank deeper into the railing. She said helplessly, "The Heavenly Demon is far away. We won't be able to find him even if we go to the extraterrestrial battlefield. We won't have a chance to avenge him!"
Chu Li said, "According to my calculations, the Heavenly Demon is in the Outland."
"Hmm …?" Xue Luoyu turned and stared at him.
Chu Li nodded. "He didn't go far. He's in our territory."
"Can we really find him?" Xue Luoyu took a deep breath. She did not blink.
Chu Li said, "It's not difficult to find him, but it's troublesome to deal with him. He must be a powerful master. We might not be able to defeat him."
"I'll think of a way. You just need to help me find the Heavenly Demon!" Xue Luoyu said, "Chu Li, if you can really find the Heavenly Demon who killed Second Brother, I'll give you a rank one merit!"
Chu Li fist saluted. "Don't worry, Lady. I'll try my best!"
Xue Luoyu nodded.
She hurriedly got up and walked out. Chu Li followed closely behind and stopped in front of her courtyard in the inner courtyard. He guarded the courtyard door and did not enter. After all, men and women were separated. Only maids were allowed to enter her courtyard.
After Xue Luoyu entered the inner courtyard, two maids hurried out. Their pretty faces were tense as they went out to pass on orders.
After an hour, Xue Luoyu came out again. This time, she had changed into a dress as white as snow. Her face was covered with a white veil, revealing only her bright eyes. When she left the courtyard, she nodded at Chu Li and gracefully went to the front courtyard.
There were already six Supreme Masters in the front courtyard. Wen Yi was among them. She nodded at him.
Chu Li knew that these six Supreme Grade Masters were her trusted subordinates. They could follow her orders without asking for a reason.
Xue Luoyu said, "We're going to deal with a Heavenly Demon. Everyone, be careful!"
Everyone silently fist saluted with determined expressions.
Chu Li glanced at them. Among the six Supreme Masters, two were young men and four were middle-aged.
The two young men looked at him with admiration. The four middle-aged men looked calm and composed.
Xue Luoyu took out eight jade pearls. They were the size of longans and were made of white jade. They were warm and white, exuding a watery luster.
She gently tossed the seven jade pearls to Chu Li and the others.
Chu Li caught them and immediately felt the presence of the other seven people. It was a strange feeling.
He looked as if he was used to it.
"Chu Li, lead the way," Xue Luoyu said.
Chu Li nodded.
He suddenly disappeared in front of the seven people. Then, they disappeared separately.
The eight jade pearls connected their senses so all eight of them appeared at the peak of a mountain. Looking around, it was a vast expanse of whiteness. Only the heavy snow was still falling.
"Where is this?" A middle-aged man asked.
Chu Li shook his head and pointed to the north. "The Heavenly Demon is two miles away."
"Let's go and have a look," Xue Luoyu said.
They were all wearing light clothes. If it were not for their strong inner energy and protective vigor, they would have been frozen.
Chu Li glided to the north. The others followed closely behind. Soon, a huge city appeared in front of them. It was one-fifth the size of Rain Master City. Although it was snowing, the city was still very lively. Children ran out to have snowball fights and laughter could be heard.
Chu Li and the others quietly entered the city and arrived in front of a luxurious and majestic mansion.
