Chu Li sneered and said, "They really are … quite bold!"
He was now famous and was no longer the Chu Li of the past. Almost everyone knew about his relationship with Sun Mingyue. They knew that he was the backer of Great Light Surpassing Realm, but they still dared to do this. It could only be said that they did not respect him.
Or rather, they did it on purpose.
Fu Caiwei said, "It looks serious but it's just a matter of wrangling. The two divisions don't dare to fight Great Light Surpassing Realm, so they can only pressure each other and see who gives up first."
Chu Li said coldly, "Why bother? Wouldn't it be better to settle it cleanly?"
"How can it be so easy?" Fu Caiwei shook her head. "This is how things are between sects. A small matter will involve many people and spread to the sects, forming a conflict between sects."
Chu Li nodded.
He naturally knew this, but he was still dissatisfied with Great Wind Palace and Lieque Palace for daring to trouble Sun Mingyue.
Fu Caiwei said, "If there's really something, Junior Sister Sun would've told you. She didn't tell you now, which means she can handle it. You don't have to interfere, lest people say that she's a puppet."
Chu Li did not say anything.
Fu Caiwei scoffed. "This matter is a mess. We've been forced into a corner. Great Light Surpassing Realm can't compromise, and neither can the two divisions. Otherwise, we'll lose our dignity and deterrence. It'll be very disadvantageous."
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "The Nine Divisions have their own deterrence. No matter what they do, other sects won't dare to offend them. What other proof do you need?"
"The Nine Divisions are different and their deterrence is also different." Fu Caiwei said, "They're also fighting openly and secretly. They can't afford to relax. Rain Master Palace is an example. Even with someone like you, Rain Master Palace hasn't improved and is still at the bottom of the Nine Divisions."
Chu Li asked, "What about Xue Luoyu?"
He had always remembered Xue Luoyu's favor and never had the chance to return it.
"Although she has good comprehension, talent, and ambition, unfortunately, she's not lucky enough," Fu Caiwei said. "She always lacks the most important bit of luck, so she can't shine."
Chu Li nodded slowly. It was true.
Xue Luoyu had both beauty, aptitude, and comprehension. Logically speaking, she should have been famous a long time ago. However, because she was the daughter of the master of the Rain Master Hall, she was suppressed by others and couldn't be famous. She also lacked enough luck. Otherwise, she would have entered the Great Sky Peak long ago.
Fu Caiwei said, "In my opinion, you'd better not get involved. This matter is quite troublesome."
Chu Li smiled. "Thank you for your advice, Senior Sister Fu."
Fu Caiwei heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he had calmed down.
She was most afraid that Chu Li would make a move in a moment of excitement. He would go to the Vacant Palace and the Windstorm Palace to capture the two disciples and get rid of them, ending all troubles once and for all. It was a clean and efficient way of doing things, which was in line with his style of doing things.
However, if he did that, it would be like poking a hornet's nest. If he did that, then all the disciples of the sects would be in danger, and no one would be able to control him. He would become the public enemy of all the sects, and it would be difficult for him to do anything.
Although Song Wuji's martial arts was strong, as the master of the Thunder Pool, his actions were not as free and easy as he appeared to be. He usually did not make a move, and even if he did, it would be the disciples of the Thunder Pool. As the master of the Thunder Pool, he rarely made a move himself. He would only make a move on the truly top-notch masters.
It was fine if he did not make a move, but when he did, it would be earth-shattering. This was how Song Wuji became famous.
Chu Li's martial arts had now reached Song Wuji's level. The only thing he lacked was his reputation. As long as his reputation reached a certain level, no one would dare to offend him. However, the premise was that he could not act recklessly. Otherwise, not only would it be difficult to build his reputation, but he would also attract isolation and hostility.
At this point, he had to be even more cautious.
Chu Li smiled. "Senior Sister Fu, don't worry. I'm not a young man who will act recklessly. I'll go see Ming Yue first."
"Go." Fu Caiwei looked at him deeply.
The next moment, Chu Li appeared in his own courtyard in the Great Light Surpassing State.
He had a separate courtyard in the Great Light Surpassing State. It was not far from Sun Mingyue's courtyard, but they were not adjacent.
As soon as he appeared, Sun Mingyue quickly sensed him and appeared in front of him. Her white robe fluttered in the wind, and a delicate fragrance wafted in the air. The familiar fragrance calmed Chu Li down as he looked at Sun Mingyue with a smile.
Sun Mingyue smiled sweetly. "You're finally back. I thought you were addicted to being the sect leader."
Chu Li smiled. "I heard that you've encountered some trouble?"
The two were considered an old married couple. When they met, they only smiled at each other. There was no physical contact.
Sun Mingyue scoffed and stopped smiling. "It's a small matter. It's not worth mentioning."
Chu Li said, "Let me handle it."
"How do you want to do it?" Sun Mingyue asked.
Chu Li smiled. "Simple. I'll use brute force to defeat ten people."
"Are you going to capture them directly?" Sun Mingyue frowned slightly and shook her head as she laughed. "Isn't that too simple and crude?"
"Sometimes, simple and crude is more effective," Chu Li said.
He knew that the best way was to drag things out and finally turn a big problem into a small one.
However, at this stage, he decided to go with his heart and no longer be restrained. Otherwise, what was the point of cultivating so hard? In the end, he could not do as he pleased and be free. He might as well not cultivate at all.
Sun Mingyue said, "I originally wanted to grind with them to see who could outlast the other. They were also worried about you and did not dare to make the first move. Yet, they insisted on suppressing us."
Chu Li said, "Isn't that ridiculous?"
Sun Mingyue shook her head. "It's the two disciples' doing. It's too late for the two sects to know about it. They could only bite the bullet and suppress us. … The two sects want to join forces to suppress us and maintain their prestige."
Chu Li said, "What are you going to do?"
"You're from the Rain Master Palace. If you build a relationship with them, everything will be simple," Sun Mingyue said.
Once they joined forces with the Rain Master Palace, the alliance between the Windstorm Palace and the Lack Palace would not be a threat. Their momentum would not be weaker than theirs and they would be even more fearful. In the end, the matter would end without a conclusion.
Chu Li smiled. "That's the right way."
"Things between sects are like this. They ally with each other and use each other." Sun Mingyue shook her head. "It's very boring. You should go do what you need to do. After Song Wuji comes out of isolated cultivation, I don't know how powerful he will be."
Chu Li said, "Let's settle this first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he wiped his face with his hand and changed his face into Zhao Dahe's.
Sun Mingyue rolled her eyes at him and scoffed. "This stupid look again!"
Chu Li smiled. "Where are their portraits?"
"Wait a moment." Sun Mingyue entered his house and quickly drew two paintings. She passed them to Chu Li.
Chu Li glanced at them and nodded. He disappeared and took the two paintings with him.
After a while, when he reappeared, the paintings in his hands had disappeared.
Sun Mingyue scoffed. "Is it settled?"
Chu Li said, "This time, I've taught them a lesson and crippled their martial arts."
"Sigh …" Sun Mingyue said helplessly, "Let's leave it at that for now. I'm just afraid that they're not afraid of death and will come back to take revenge and cripple the Surpassing State disciples."
Chu Li smiled. "That's for the best. Let's see who's more crippled!"
Sun Mingyue scoffed. "In the end, both sides will suffer. Why bother? I hope they know what's good for them this time."
Chu Li smiled and entered the house. He took out the iron tag and looked at it under the sunlight.
Sun Mingyue reached out and grabbed it. She asked in surprise, "Where did this come from?"
"You recognize this?" Chu Li was stunned.
