He turned to look at the lake. The breeze was gentle and the water was sparkling.
It was not a one-sided love. Xiao Qi was also moved by him. This was good news but he was not happy.
"Xiao Qi has been in pain recently. She has been struggling every day." Shen Yinghu sighed. "It's been hard on her."
Chu Li asked, "Why?"
"There are two paths in front of her." Shen Yinghu looked at him. "One is to cut off her feelings. She will immediately become a Grandmaster and soon become an Enlightened Master. The other is to destroy the Regal Sword Scripture and re-cultivate Snow Lunar Pavilion's heart technique. Once she chooses this path, it means she can no longer return to the Public House. She will live as Du Xia and must make a solemn vow before cultivating Snow Lunar Pavilion's heart technique."
Chu Li frowned.
Shen Yinghu said, "Cultivating Snow Lunar Pavilion's heart technique and reaching the Grandmaster's Boundary is the limit. There is no chance for her to become an Enlightened Master."
Chu Li's expression was solemn.
"One is the bright path. She can become an Enlightened Master and support the Public House. The other is a winding path. She has no hope of becoming an Enlightened Master. She can't return to the Public House and live like Xiao Yueling." Shen Yinghu said. "I don't know why she is hesitating!"
Chu Li smiled bitterly. To outsiders, there was indeed nothing to hesitate about.
"The crux is you." Shen Yinghu glanced at him. "You are a Grandmaster at such a young age. You are wise enough to move Xiao Qi, but …"
She sighed.
Chu Li frowned. An Enlightened Master!
Once one became a Heavenly Deity Realm expert, one could move unhindered under the heavens without any misgivings, obtaining true freedom. This was something that everyone wished for.
He took a deep breath. "For the sake of the High Duke's Public House, she should cut off her feelings!"
Shen Yinghu said, "The Public House will benefit the most from cutting off her feelings. You will be hurt. She will be hurt but the Regal Sword Scripture will quickly heal her heart. In the end, you will be the only one who will be hurt. The Public House will suffer the most. She will have a hard time too. You will benefit the most. "
Chu Li smiled. "It's actually very easy to choose."
"It's not hard to choose, no matter who it is." Shen Yinghu shook her head and said, "Yet, she hesitated and struggled. She was in so much pain that she caused the fire in her heart to reverse. She was badly injured."
Chu Li thought of the Second Lady from back then.
She looked weak and frail, but she did not hesitate to sacrifice herself for the High Duke's Public House.
Xiao Qi seemed to be very decisive. She always thought about the High Duke's Public House, but she was struggling and hesitating at this critical juncture. He couldn't make up his mind.
He was proud, sweet, and pitiful at the same time. It was hard to tell what exactly he was feeling. She naturally knew what was important and what was good and what was bad. She didn't want to let him down and hurt his heart.
It was difficult to satisfy both sides in the world. This was the source of pain.
Chu Li recalled Xiao Qi's words when they first met, and he knew that she had already made up her mind.
This moved him even more, and he also felt pity for her.
"All right. I'm just telling you. You can do whatever you want. "Shen Yinghu sighed." She's an adult now. She can make her own decisions. I won't interfere. An Enlightened Master might not be happy, but a Grandmaster might not be in pain. "
Chu Li nodded slowly.

The next morning, the sun shone through the open window.
Chu Li sat on the bed and was deep in thought.
He had been sitting for the whole night. His thoughts ran like a galloping horse. He did not sleep for the whole night.
Based on his nature, he would tell Xiao Qi that there was no need to forcefully cultivate the Regal Sword Scripture. He would become an Enlightened Master and protect the High Duke's Public House. All she had to do was be his woman and not worry about anything.
However, he asked himself in his heart. If he answered honestly and without deceiving himself, did he really have the confidence to become an Enlightened Master? Could he really protect the High Duke's Public House by himself?
He had the Omniscient Mirror divine power, the Life and Death Scripture, and he had extraordinary wisdom. However, there was only one Enlightened Master in the world. It was possible that the Tempest Temple had another one.
There were countless talents in the Tempest Temple. There were many who were as intelligent as him, and there were also some who cultivated divine powers. The Tempest Temple had thousands of years of inheritance. Their foundation was beyond imagination. Their study was even more mysterious. It was not impossible that there was no one who could surpass the Life and Death Scripture.
For hundreds of years, there was only one person who became an Enlightened Master. Was he really confident?
If he said he was confident, he would be deceiving himself and being arrogant.
The Regal Sword Scripture was an ancient study. There was a seventy percent chance of becoming an Enlightened Master. Would he give it up for him?
If the High Duke's Public House was in trouble, declining or falling apart, he would be a sinner. How could he face Xiao Qi?
A faint fragrance drifted in. Xiao Qi entered the house lightly and sat on the garden stool under the window. She sat under the morning sun.
She was still dressed in a white gown. There was not a speck of dust on her body. She looked like an otherworldly fairy.
Chu Li looked at her face and smiled. "Are your injuries better now?"
"It's fine." Xiao Qi shook her head and looked at his face. "My master looked for you yesterday, right?"
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
"What did she say?"
"She was just curious. She wanted to see how I looked like."
"You don't have to mind what master said."
"Mm, will your injury take a long time to heal?"
"There's no rush."
The two of them fell silent. Chu Li had made up his mind and was thinking about how to speak.
The house was unusually quiet. The martial arts field's laughter could be heard from afar.
Xiao Qi sat quietly with a smile on her lips. She felt peaceful and happy. She wished that time would stop at this moment.
"You should cultivate the Regal Sword Scripture. Don't choose the Snow Lunar Pavilion's heart technique." Chu Li said.
Xiao Qi was stunned and looked at him.
Chu Li said, "I've never thought about being with you."
Xiao Qi frowned. "Master told you yesterday, right?"
Chu Li said, "We're not the same people. You're indifferent, I'm greedy. You just want to live a peaceful life, I want to travel the world to pursue prosperity and wealth. Even if we're together, we'll still be separated."
Xiao Qi glared at him snappily.
Chu Li said, "You're cold and quiet. It's boring to be with you."
"What else?" Xiao Qi scoffed.
"You're not beautiful enough. You're not as pretty as the Second Lady."
"You like Second Sister?"
"Of course I like her!"
"No wonder you tried so hard to save her. You didn't even care about your own life!" Xiao Qi said coldly.
Chu Li said, "The Second Lady is the most beautiful woman in the world. Which man wouldn't like her?"
He knew that the Second Lady was the most effective weapon to make her harden her heart.
"Shut up!" Xiao Qi said coldly.
Chu Li sighed. "Actually, this is the reason why I'm here."
"Because of what Master said, right?" Xiao Qi scoffed.
Chu Li shook his head. "If I really want to be with you, can what your Master said change?"
Xiao Qi looked at him coldly.
Chu Li sighed. "The relationship between a man and a woman is like a firewood. It burns brightly but extinguishes quickly. Instead of that, why don't we just be friends? Our interactions are as light as water. We can meet occasionally and be happy. We can live our own lives on our own. Isn't that good?"
"I understand." Xiao Qi stood up expressionlessly and turned to leave.
Chu Li stared at her.
Based on her arrogant personality, what he said was enough. She would understand what he meant and know what to do.
It was impossible to have everything in this world. There would always be a choice. Regardless of whether he would regret it in the future, he did not regret it at this moment. He held his chest. It hurt terribly.
