Hui Qing fell silent.
She had never thought that there would be a disciple shared by the two sects. It was always either one or the other. Poaching the other side's disciple was to suppress the other side, to be proud and to be competitive. If the two sects shared a disciple, it would lose all meaning.
Chu Li said, "If we can gather the strengths of both sects, it will be beneficial to both sects."
"It's very difficult …" Hui Qing shook her head and said, "The Regal Sword Scripture and the Sword of Oblivion are both top-notch ultimate arts. It's already difficult to master one of them, let alone two."
"My wife has a better aptitude." Chu Li smiled. "It's not impossible. Why don't you give it a try?"
"… Why can't I focus on the Regal Sword Scripture?" Hui Ning refused to give up. "Although the Sword of Indifference is sharp, it's only for a moment. It's not worth wasting my time!"
Chu Li smiled. "The Heaven's Scroll of Indifference is full of mysteries. If I can comprehend it, I'm sure I won't have a match in this world."
Hui Ning snorted and said, "The Heavenly Tome of Indifference is an absolute art from the heavens. It's not that easy to comprehend … Alright, I won't persuade you anymore. Xiao Qi, you should think about it carefully. This is very important."
She got up and led him away gracefully.
When Chu Li and Xiao Qi returned, they sat in the backyard and started having their dinner.
The soft light made the backyard look like it was daytime. The light was a little softer than daytime, making it look dreamy and illusory. Xiao Qi was a little more beautiful, and her cold eyes also carried a little captivating power.
"Your way of thinking …" Xiao Qi wiped the corner of her mouth with a silk handkerchief. "Both sects have joined, and we've taken advantage of them. How can there be such a good thing?"
Chu Li said, "You're the most sought after now. You might be able to take advantage of me."
Xiao Qi shook her head. "I don't think it's possible."
"How about this," Chu Li muttered. "You should find a place to hide first."
Xiao Qi frowned. "It can't be that serious, right?"
"Unless you've decided to only enter the Tai Qing Sect," Chu Li said.
Xiao Qi hesitated.
She felt that the Tai Qing Sect was not bad, but due to Chu Li's influence, she felt that the Cliff of Forgetfulness was also very good. Moreover, the Heavenly Book of Forgetfulness was extremely mysterious and worth studying. Even if she could not comprehend it thoroughly, she still had Chu Li's help.
She was very confident that Chu Li's comprehension was rare.
It would be best if both sects could enter together. If there was only one sect, it would indeed be difficult for her to choose. She was unwilling to only cultivate the Regal Sword Scripture, and she felt that she had let down her master by only cultivating the Heavenly Book of Indifference.
Chu Li said, "If you want to enter the two sects, then you'll have to hide."
"… He's afraid of Master?" Xiao Qi immediately understood.
Chu Li smiled and said, "Master's Junior Hui Ning will definitely think of a way to let your Master return. Since you've already come up, why is Senior Hui Qing still staying down there? Don't tell me she's thinking of nurturing Second Eldest Sister?"
Siao Shi's mind was not on martial arts. Although she was talented in cultivating the Taixu Scripture, her energy was not focused enough. Most of her time was spent dealing with government affairs. She did not have much interest in martial arts and was not hardworking enough.
Xiao Qi pursed her lips and smiled. She then frowned and said, "If Master comes, I really can't do anything."
Chu Li smiled. "Then hide for a while. I'll deal with it. Let's see if it works."
"… Alright." Xiao Qi nodded. "Where should we hide?"
"Hundred-Thousand Hills!" Chu Li said, "Go there and cultivate in isolation."
"Okay," Xiao Qi said.
Both of them had a swift and decisive personality. They did what they thought of.
Chu Li sent Xiao Qi to the Spirit Cranes Peak at night.
He had not seen the Spirit Cranes for a while. After playing for a while, Chu Li returned at dawn.
In the early morning, he washed up and was about to have breakfast when Hui Qing, dressed in a green tunic, floated in.
Chu Li got up and fist saluted. "Senior!"
"Where's Xiao Qi?" Hui Qing asked directly.
Both of them gestured for him to sit.
Hui Qing sat opposite him and looked at him faintly. "I heard she's not planning to enter the Tai Qing Sect?"
"She wants to cultivate the Regal Sword Scripture and the Scroll of Indifference," Chu Li said.
He expected Hui Qing to come but he did not expect it to be so soon.
The return of a Celestial was similar to the return of an Enlightened Master. Both were souls that ascended. When they reached the Outland, they would need to go through the process of condensing their bodies. It would take some time. If she came in such a hurry, she would have to pay a higher price.
Hui Qing scoffed. "Don't bite off more than you can chew. Doesn't she know this?"
Chu Li said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with cultivating both. They complement each other."
"I know it's your stupid idea!" Hui Qing glared at him and scoffed. "You're too greedy!"
According to her understanding, if Chu Li did not come up with this idea, Xiao Qi would naturally return to the Tai Qing Sect and become her disciple. Once she returned, she could continue to teach her the Regal Sword Scripture.
Although she had nothing else to teach, the two of them could learn from each other and study each other. Their cultivation progress would be faster.
Xiao Qi's aptitude was top-notch and was better than Hui Qing's. She had good comprehension too. Both of them had a chance to perfect the Regal Sword Scripture. They might even be able to step into the Great Enlightened Master's Boundary.
Chu Li smiled without saying a word.
"If that's the case, she must cultivate both sects?" Hui Qing saw that Xiao Qi had gone into hiding and knew there was no other way.
She could influence Xiao Qi but not Chu Li. When they were in the Lower Realm, she had a deep understanding of Chu Li's character and methods. Although she had lived longer, she knew that she was no match for him.
Chu Li slowly said, "If you can fulfill my wish, it would be for the best! … After all, you're the only one in the Tai Qing Sect who cultivates the Regal Sword Scripture. "
"… Alright, I'll go back and talk to them," Hui Qing said.
Chu Li gave a fist salute. "Thank you, Senior!"
Hui Qing was obviously on Xiao Qi's side and wanted to help her instead of helping the Tai Qing Sect to force Xiao Qi.
He had a good impression of her.
Hui Qing waved her hand. "I hope you've made the right choice and won't distract Xiao Qi."
Chu Li smiled. "Senior, I'll wait and see! … By the way, do you want to cultivate the Heavenly Scroll of Indifference? "
Hui Qing frowned at him. "You want to teach me?"
"It's not impossible if you want to learn it." Chu Li smiled. "You're not an outsider."
Hui Qing thought about it and sighed. "Forget it."
She was very tempted.
She knew how powerful the Heavenly Scroll of Indifference was, or else she would not have agreed to let Xiao Qi cultivate the Sword of Indifference. Back then, she had put in a lot of effort to comprehend it, but unfortunately, she failed and almost went astray.
After a few times, she completely gave up on the Heavenly Scroll of Indifference.
She did not expect Chu Li to teach her the Heavenly Scroll of Indifference.
All she had to do was open her mouth and she would be able to learn it. Then, she would be able to complement the Regal Sword Scripture and improve it greatly.
However, when she thought about Chu Li's identity, she gritted her teeth and rejected him. She did not want to lose her dignity as a senior.
Chu Li smiled. "Alright, I'll let Madam study the Sword of Indifference with you."
Hui Qing waved her hand and stood up. "Let's go."
Chu Li quickly said, "Senior, please wait!"
Hui Qing stopped and looked at him.
Chu Li asked, "Senior, do you know that Heavenly Demons have infiltrated the lower realm?"
"Yes." Hui Qing nodded. "It suddenly became chaotic. There must be Heavenly Demons confusing people's minds."
Chu Li frowned. "Senior, do you have a solution?"
"… No." Hui Qing sighed and said helplessly, "The Outland uses the foreign battlefields for defense. The lower realm doesn't have such conditions, so we can only ask the Stargazing Pavilion to cooperate with the Enlightened Masters to kill Heavenly Demons."
Chu Li slowly nodded.
It seemed like he had no other choice but to use this stupid method.
