When Chu Li arrived at the third floor of the Stargazing Tower, Siao Shi was there too.
She was talking to Xiao Qi. Her smile was like a blooming flower. She was truly beautiful.
"Chu Li, you're here." She looked up and saw that Chu Li did not look well. She smiled and said, "What happened? You look so angry."
Xiao Qi also looked at Chu Li curiously.
Chu Li had always been calm and composed. Nothing could shock or worry him. This was the majestic and imposing manner he cultivated as a Buddhist. It was rare to see such an expression on his face today.
Chu Li looked at Xiao Qi. "My Lady, Valley Leader Mei took Chen Ying away!"
"Ao Shuang secretly took someone away?" Xiao Qi's eyes flashed.
Chu Li sat on the garden stool opposite her.
Xiao Qi sighed. "Ao Shuang probably wouldn't do such a thing. She's very proud."
"He's been taken away!" Chu Li scoffed, "Maybe Chen Ying wanted to leave on her own. But she didn't ask me and just took her away. That's too … I want to go to Tai Hua Valley to take a look!"
"You want to snatch Chen Ying back?" Xiao Qi said impatiently, "I think Chen Ying is the one who is willing to do this … Since Chen Ying has agreed, what can you do?"
Siao Shi looked at him with her bright eyes, but she did not speak. Her limpid eyes looked back and forth between the two of them, trying to see through Li's heart.
Chu Li took the tea from Suru. After thanking her, he took a sip and put down the teacup. "Since Chen Ying has made up her mind, I will not stop her. I just want to see Tai Hua Valley."
"The location of Tai Hua Valley is very remote. It's very hard to find," Xiao Qi said. "You won't be able to find it."
"Has Miss been there?"
"No," Xiao Qi replied. "It's best if you don't go either."
Chu Li understood what she meant. After all, she was from the High Duke's Public House and had such a good relationship with Xiao Qi. Mei Ao Shuang did not even bring her to Tai Hua Valley. If he went, Mei Ao Shuang would definitely risk her life.
However, he was still worried about Chen Ying. Without his help, it would be difficult for Chen Ying to pass the Innate Stage.
"I want to see Chen Ying in person," Chu Li said.
"Then you can only catch up to her before they reach Tai Hua Valley," Siao Qi said.
Chu Li said, "That's the only way."
Xiao Qi shook her head and smiled. "It seems that you really care about Chen Ying. I will give the order."
Chu Li gave a fist salute and thanked him.
"The envoys from King An's Imperial Residence will arrive tomorrow," Xiao Qi said. "Elder Zhao and the others have been sent out. This time, there must be no more accidents. "
Chu Li nodded and said no more.
With Xiao Qi as the gatekeeper, these messengers' thoughts could not escape her notice.

Mei Ao Shuang's group of six rode on the official road.
At noon, when the sun was blazing, they stopped at a post-house by the roadside.
Chen Ying got down from the horse in high spirits. He did not look tired at all. He was even more energetic than He Bing Hua and the others. His extraordinary physique showed some clues.
She followed Mei Aoshuang to the pavilion and sat down. When she saw Sun Lihua handing her a water bag, she quickly stood up and took it.
Mei Ao Shuang turned her head and looked around. Her brows were tightly knitted together.
Qin Xiaofeng smiled, "Valley Master, what's the matter?"
"Doesn't Martial Uncle feel that something is wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
"I feel like someone is following us."
"Someone's following you?"
"Someone's here!"
"I don't sense any killing intent."
"Who exactly is it?!" Mei Ao Shuang humphed, "Sneaky and annoying!"
Fong Xiaofeng looked at Chen Ying.
Mei Ao Shuang looked over and smiled.
When she saw Chen Ying, her mood became better. It was as if she saw a bright future and looked forward to it.
"Young Chen Ying, are you tired?" Mei Ao Shuang asked with concern, "You're in such a hurry, can you take it?"
"Don't worry, Master." Chen Ying smiled, "I'm fine."
"Bear with it for a while. Once we return to the valley, Wait until we get back to the valley and have a good rest. "Mei Ao Shuang said.
Chen Ying said, "Master, why are you in such a hurry? I have already told Master clearly, he will not chase after us."
Mei Ao Shuang pouted her red lips, "He is not that easy to talk to … Besides, I am not trying to hide from him!"
She still needed her face. She could not show weakness and lose her master's face.
"Valley Master, could it be that Master Chu is following us?" Qin Xiaofeng said.
Mei Ao Shuang frowned and nodded slowly.
She had experienced Chu Li's Light-body Technique before. It was really as fast as a ghost. There was no way to chase after him. It was not surprising that he could catch up. But since he had caught up, why did he not come out sneakily? They were talking face to face but he was following behind?
She raised her voice and shouted, "Chu Li, come out!"
"Valley Leader Mei, how have you been!" Chu Li's clear voice sounded.
He suddenly appeared on top of a pine tree, his feet stepping on the treetop. A gust of wind blew. His green robe fluttered and he swayed up and down with the treetop.
Mei Ao Shuang scoffed, "Sneaky. Since you're here, why don't you show yourself!"
Chu Li lightly stepped on the treetop and landed in the post house.
"Master." Chen Ying's face was red. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at him.
Chu Li looked at her deeply and sighed, "You …"
Mei Ao Shuang scoffed, "Chu Li, make it clear. Young Chen Ying is now my disciple!"
Chu Li said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to find her."
"Then why are you here!"
"To look at her." Chu Li said lightly, "I hope you can take good care of her."
"Of course, you don't need to say that!" Mei Ao Shuang's tone softened. As long as he did not destroy their relationship as master and disciple, it was fine.
Chu Li looked at Chen Ying and said gently, "Don't be impatient in cultivating. Since you've entered Tai Hua Valley, cultivate well. Calm your heart and take it slow."
"Yes, Master." Chen Ying whispered.
Chu Li looked at Mei Ao Shuang again, "Leader Mei, I have a request."
"Speak."
"Chen Ying has entered Tai Hua Valley. She will only cultivate in the valley and will not participate in the grudges of the martial arts world."
"Of course." Mei Ao Shuang said, "Once she enters the valley, she will cultivate in isolation and will not leave the valley! … Don't even think about coming over to see her and disturb her cultivation! "
Chu Li took out a purple box the size of a jewelry box and handed it to Chen Ying, "I came in a hurry so I don't have anything to give you. There are some things inside. Open it when you have time."
Chen Ying took the purple box with both hands. Her eyes were already filled with tears.
Chu Li smiled and patted her shoulder, "Take good care of yourself. Don't worry about your family."
"Master …" Chen Ying finally could not hold back her tears.
Chu Li smiled and closed fist saluted Mei Ao Shuang. He floated out of the pagoda and stepped on the treetops. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the sight of the girls.
"This Chu Li!" Mei Ao Shuang snorted. Her impression of Chu Li had changed greatly.
Fong Xiao Feng patted Chen Ying's back and smiled, "Young Chen Ying, once you start cultivating, time will pass quickly. When you become a Grandmaster, it will not be too late to go back and see Master Chu."
Chen Ying nodded vigorously.
Sun Li Hua smiled and came over, "Sister Chen Ying, what good thing did Master Chu give you? Open it and see!"
"It's nothing more than medicinal pills." Mei Ao Shuang glanced at them, "You are not allowed to be greedy!"
Ho Bing Hua said, "The medicinal pills of the House of High Dukes are indeed abundant. It is enviable."
After all, the House of High Dukes had the support of the country. The abundance of medicinal pills was far better than the martial arts sects, not to mention a second-rate sect like Tai Hua Valley. They were very envious.
Chen Ying wiped her tears. She did not open the purple box. She wanted to find a place with no one around to open it quietly.
"Sister Chen Ying, how did Master Chu become a rank two Scribe at such a young age?" Sun Li Hua was very curious, "It's not enough to just rely on his martial arts, right?"
Chen Ying nodded. Her jade-like face showed a proud look.
"Tell us, tell us about him." Sun Li Hua grabbed her arm and shook it.
Mei Ao Shuang said impatiently, "Alright, he is a stinky man. What is there to say!"
She looked around. The feeling of being followed finally disappeared.
