Chu Li scoffed, "You and Li Meng are not compatible. The more you try to please her, the more she will hate you. It's useless."
"Master, she needs support now. Even if she hates me, I can't let her be bullied!" Pang Shiji said.
Chu Li sighed. What an infatuated man.
Pang Shiji said, "Master, I know I'm stupid and don't know how to make a woman like me. I'm not as good as you, but I believe my sincerity will move her."
Chu Li glanced at him and shook his head.
Feelings between a man and a woman had nothing to do with being moved. They needed to be moved. Just like how he and the three women had feelings that were beyond reason. There was no moving, only being moved.
However, everyone had a different view of men and women. Pang Shiji was handsome, skilled in martial arts, had a good background, and had Chu Li's support. Such a person could win the hearts of countless women. However, Li Meng's background was not inferior to his, and when they were together, her martial arts surpassed his.
To move Li Meng's heart, one had to be far stronger than her. Pang Shiji did not do it from the beginning, so it was almost impossible for the two of them to be together.
Pang Shiji scratched his head, envious of Chu Li.
Not only was his master the best in martial arts, but his women were also rare.
His master's wife was already the best woman in the world. Almost no man was worthy of her, but she fell in love with his master, who was only a Public House Protector. Lu Yurong was also a lady of the Public House. She was very calculative, and many people were afraid of her. She also fell in love with his master. Sun Mingyue was the leader of the Holy Church of Light, and many people looked up to her.
If he had ten percent of his master's skills, he would not be so troubled.
Chu Li saw the flash of envy in his eyes and sighed, "The Intellectual Sword can cut off your feelings. If you can cut off your feelings for Li Meng, you can become a real man, and you can stand tall."
He was just saying it. In fact, he could not cut off his feelings himself.
"Master, I want to, but …" Pang Shiji shook his head.
Chu Li looked at him in pain and felt helpless.
Even though he had peerless martial arts, there was nothing he could do about the love between a man and a woman. He couldn't force Li Meng to fall in love with Pang Shiji, could he? The younger generation had their own blessings, and as her master, he really couldn't care less.
Everyone had their own fortune. Pang Shiji should have his own relationship, and hopefully, he would not fall.
"Alright, suit yourself." Chu Li sighed. "No matter what, the higher your cultivation level is, the higher your chances will be. Instead of wasting your time visiting her, why don't you work hard on your martial arts and surpass her so that she can look up to you!"
"… Yes!" Pang Shiji nodded vigorously.
After giving it some thought, Chu Li decided that he would have to rely on himself to improve Pang Shiji's cultivation level. The Soaring Grass and the Dragon Tree Fruit would not have much of an effect on him anymore. He had already improved what he needed to improve, and he had already laid an extremely solid foundation.
It was true that Pang Shiji's aptitude was not as good as Chu Li's, so there were some divine powers that could not be passed down, such as the Life and Death Scripture and the Omniscient Mirror. Chu Li could only choose those that Pang Shiji could cultivate.
However, this was already enough for Pang Shiji to become a peak expert. The Dragon Tree Fruit and the Soaring Grass were things that ordinary people could not even see. Even if they did, they could only eat one every 60 years, unlike Pang Shiji who could eat as much as he wanted.
Right now, his cultivation base was so thick that it was rare in the world. He just needed to slowly integrate it. Also, he wasn't a Heavenly Deity yet. With his potential, it was very difficult for him to surpass Heavenly Deities.
However, with his reputation, other Enlightened Masters would not dare to kill Pang Shiji.
This time, he even brought back a few treasures for him, which made him even more powerful.
Therefore, Pang Shiji could do whatever he wanted in this world. However, he was trapped by Li Meng and could not break free from his shackles. He did not know how to enjoy his time, but instead, he had to suffer the pain of being trapped by love.
"Master, aren't you going to help Junior Sister Li?" Pang Shiji asked. "She's really in a difficult situation now."
Chu Li replied, "She's an Enlightened Master."
"Enlightened Masters aren't omnipotent. Those Priests have contributed greatly to the Holy Church of Light, and they're all her seniors. They didn't violate the church's rules, so I can't punish them as I please, let alone attack them." Pang Shiji shook his head and sighed. "They're all sly old foxes. Junior Sister Li can't defeat them."
Chu Li smiled. "That's how her master got here. Compared to her master, her starting point is much higher, and it's much easier for her."
"But Junior Sister Li isn't Cult Leader Sun. Pang Shiji couldn't help but retort, "She might not have Cult Master Sun's methods, and her foundation is too shallow. Cult Master Sun ascended too quickly."
Chu Li asked, "What do you think?"
"Master, you'll be overseeing the Great Light Peak for a while," Pang Shiji said. "I'm sure those people will be obedient to you."
"What happens after that?" Chu Li asked. "I can't stay at the Great Light Peak forever. What happens after I leave?"
"They know that Master will go there, so they have to restrain themselves," Pang Shiji said.
Chu Li sighed. "It's better to let her deal with it herself."
Pang Shiji looked at him anxiously.
Chu Li waved his hand. "Forget it, I'll go see Li Meng and ask her herself."
"… With her personality, she definitely wouldn't ask Master for help," Pang Shiji hurriedly said.
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "It's true that the eunuchs are more anxious than the emperor."
Pang Shiji said embarrassedly, "Seeing Junior Sister Li suffer is even worse than suffering myself."
Chu Li said, "I'll go and take a look first. You should return to Goddess Attraction Mountain and serve Honorable Master and the others well!"
"Yes." Pang Shiji nodded.
"You're not allowed to leave the mountain for a year." Chu Li scoffed.
Pang Shiji was instantly anxious.
He was also worried about Li Meng. Many things could happen in a year.
Chu Li glared at him. "If you don't calm down and cultivate hard, do you think you can improve your martial arts in your current situation?"
"… Yes." Pang Shiji nodded helplessly.
He thought about his determination to surpass Li Meng. Indeed, he needed to cultivate hard. Moreover, if he left temporarily, she might not be used to it and miss him.
Chu Li said, "Let's go to Goddess Attraction Mountain now!"
"… Yes." Pang Shiji originally planned to go to the Great Light Peak to bid farewell to Li Meng. However, judging from Master's expression, he knew that he would not agree to it. Instead of saying it out loud and getting scolded, it was better to be tactful and not mention it.
"Let's go," Chu Li said.
Pang Shiji took out a silver ingot and tossed it on the table. Then, he followed Chu Li downstairs and disappeared from the main street. The next moment, they appeared at Goddess Attraction Mountain.

Great Light Peak
Divine Light Basilica
As the sun set in the west, the glaciers on Great Light Peak reflected the sunset glow and dyed the Divine Light Basilica rose-red.
Li Meng was dressed in a snow-white robe. She wore a white veil that covered her face, revealing only a pair of bright eyes. She sat quietly behind the table and flipped through the dossiers. If it were not for the fact that she had a petite figure, Chu Li would have thought that Sun Mingyue had returned.
"Master's Junior!" Li Meng suddenly raised her head. Her bright eyes glowed as she excitedly approached Chu Li, bringing with her a faint fragrance.
Chu Li smiled. "How have you been?"
Li Meng pulled him to the table and invited him to sit down. She personally brewed a cup of tea and brought it over. "Quite well."
Chu Li took the teacup and smiled. "I heard from Shiji that you're having a hard time."
"It's just a small problem. I can solve it," Li Meng said.
She took off her veil and revealed her beautiful face. She smiled like a flower. "Those old men are not convinced. They've been trying to make me a mere figurehead and take away my power."
Chu Li said, "Don't be soft-hearted when it's time."
