Chu Li sat in front of the window and watched as Xiao Qi walked onto the Snow Lake and entered her waterside pavilion along the plank road. Soon, her graceful figure disappeared.
He felt as if a piece of his heart had been forcefully dug out, and his body felt weak and powerless.
The morning sun shone on his body, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of warmth. The world seemed to have lost its color, and the originally beautiful valley became empty and desolate. The intoxicating aura it emitted also disappeared.
He sat there for a long time until Suru came over and asked him to eat.
He followed Suru to her waterside pavilion. Xiao Qi was dressed in a snow-white robe. She sat quietly by the window and glanced at him without saying a word.
Chu Li smiled and sat opposite her.
Su Ru rolled her eyes.
Their actions were no different from usual, but there seemed to be a strange atmosphere between them that was different from usual.
She looked carefully. It seemed that the Lady's gaze was more active, and she kept staring at Chu Li. Chu Li was not to be outdone, and the two of them looked at each other from time to time.
She chuckled to herself. It seemed that the relationship between the two of them had improved greatly.
After the meal, Chu Li said, "I'll pay a visit to the elders today, I'll be leaving tomorrow."
"Leave?" Su Ru's eyes widened. "Why the rush?"
"What's supposed to go has to go," Chu Li said. "I still have things to do."
"Let's stay for a few more days. We can leave after Senior Sister finishes her Isolated Cultivation." Suru glanced at Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi calmly said, "If he wants to leave, let him leave!"
Suru was extremely unwilling as she stared at Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi said, "He's going to take care of business. It's not like he won't see you again."
"But this is too rushed!" Su Ru scoffed.
Chu Li smiled. "I'm planning to raise an eagle so that it can deliver letters."
"This is a good idea!" Su Ru smiled and said, "Old Master Zhu's golden eagle is very intelligent. I will ask him for the secret method of taming it."
Chu Li nodded and took a deep look at Xiao Qi before he stood up and left.
He visited Wang Wensi, Jiang Chunyue, and Li Qingluo one by one and said his goodbyes. Finally, he came to Shen Yinghu's waterside pavilion.
Shen Yinghu was sitting in the pavilion. She looked at the lake lazily and was in a daze. Her charming eyes seemed to be filled with sorrow.
Chu Li walked into the pagoda and sat opposite her.
Shen Yinghu supported her chin with her hands. She looked at him lazily.
Chu Li replied, "I've already told Xiao Qi that she'll continue to cultivate the Regal Sword Scripture."
Shen Yinghu looked him up and down, her clear eyes sweeping back and forth. She shook her head. "You will regret this."
"I hope so." Chu Li smiled. "I look forward to meeting her as an Enlightened Master!"
"By then, she will have no feelings for you."
"It's okay. I'll make sure she does. " Chu Li smiled. "When she first entered the High Duke's Public House, she also cultivated the Regal Sword Scripture, so she won't fall for men."
"You've got guts!" Shen Yinghu revealed a charming smile. "No wonder Xiaoqi likes you! But you have to understand, when you entered the Public House, the Regal Sword Scripture was just a piece of cloth wrapped around her heart. When she became an Enlightened Master, there was already a wall surrounding her heart. "
"I can break this wall." Chu Li took out a letter and handed it to Shen Yinghu.
Shen Yinghu took the letter and touched it. There was a jade pendant inside.
Chu Li said, "Senior, you know when to give it to her."
"Alright. When are you leaving? "
"I'll leave tonight."
"You can come visit Young Ru often." Shen Yinghu said, "Xiaoqi is in isolation. She's lonely."
Chu Li nodded.
He stood up and closed fist saluted. Shen Yinghu sighed and waved her hand.
Chu Li slowly left the pagoda.
Not long after he returned to the pavilion, Su Ru came over with a bundle in her hand.
Chu Li sat on the couch and looked at her with a smile.
Su Ru stared at Chu Li. "Did you two have a fight?"
"I guess so." Chu Li smiled. "She'll be fine after a while."
"I don't know what you two are doing." Su Ru shook her head. "But she's in a bad mood."
Chu Li nodded.
"She's still pretending to be fine." Su Ru scoffed. "You must have made her angry! Only you have the ability to do so! "
Xiao Qi cultivated the Regal Sword Scripture. She had a cold personality and her emotions were always calm. It was hard for others to make her angry. Her emotions would not fluctuate.
Chu Li sighed and smiled.
"This is what she asked me to send." Su Ru opened the bundle.
Inside was a moon white robe. It was flawless and not so white that it was eye-catching. It was also spotless.
"She said that you will look good in it." Su Ru took it out and shook it. She passed it to him. "Try it on and see if it fits."
Chu Li took off his outer shirt and put on the white robe.
The material of the white robe was strange. It was soft and heavy. It felt like Xiao Qi's skin. It was cool and warm, delicate and flexible.
"This is made from moon hemp. It's very rare and has many benefits. It's resistant to water and fire, swords and knives. Most importantly, it's spotless. It won't get dirty no matter what. Xiao … She has one. She made this robe for you. It looks like it fits." Su Ru looked at it and said.
Chu Li said, "She has such skills?"
"What do you think?" Su Ru smiled. "Her needlework is very good. She made her own clothes. This is the first time she made it for someone else. It fits very well. Just wear it."
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Su Ru clapped her hands. "Alright, do you have anything in return?"
"Nothing." Chu Li shook his head.
Su Ru rolled her eyes.
Chu Li smiled. "Thank her for me."
"I'm not going to tell you!" Su Ru scoffed. She waved her hand and left.
—
The moonlight was like water. Chu Li walked out of the pavilion and down the plank road. He carried a bag with the white robe in it and slowly walked out.
When he reached the entrance of the valley, he suddenly felt something and turned around.
Shen Yinghu's waterside pavilion was two stories high. Xiao Qi stood on the roof in a white robe. She was looking at him quietly. Under the moonlight, she looked like a flawless white jade statue.
Chu Li smiled at her and turned to leave.
Xiao Qi trembled as she watched his back disappear at the entrance of the valley. She felt empty. It was as if her heart was taken away by him.
As the sun rose, a ray of golden light shone on him. He had stood there for the whole night.
Shen Yinghu came to her side and sighed. "Silly girl, it's not like we'll be separated forever! You're better than your mother. You didn't pick the wrong man. "
Xiao Qi remained silent.
Shen Yinghu patted her shoulder. "Think about your mother, think about the Public House, and think about Chu Li's efforts. It's time for you to make a decision!"
"I want to cultivate in isolation." Xiao Qi's voice was hoarse.
"Okay." Shen Yinghu held her wrist. The two of them fluttered away from the waterside pavilion and went deeper into the valley.
They went all the way to the end of the valley and stopped in front of a precipice that pierced through the clouds.
The two of them climbed up the precipice until they disappeared into the clouds. Xiao Qi bit her index finger and pressed it somewhere.
"Boom!" A cave appeared on the precipice.
The two of them entered the cave and passed through a path in the cave. Suddenly, their eyes widened. Another valley appeared in front of them. It was the same valley as the one in Snow Lunar Pavilion. There was a snow lake, woods, and flowers. It was beautiful.
The only difference was that there was only a waterside pavilion on this lake. It was a small gazebo.
Xiao Qi stood in the gazebo and looked at the calm lake. Her expression was cold.
"Have you thought it through?" Shen Yinghu leaned on the railing and asked casually, "Continue to cultivate the Regal Sword Scripture?"
Xiao Qi did not say anything.
Shen Yinghu did not rush her either. She leaned on the railing and looked at the lake.
Time passed slowly. From morning to noon, then to evening.
Xiao Qi did not move as if she had turned into a statue.
Shen Yinghu leaned against the window in the waterside pavilion and looked at her. She shook her head helplessly.
The setting sun filled the sky. The lake was like a huge piece of red satin. The valley was dyed a rose color. Everything became magnificent and charming.
Xiao Qi's body trembled non-stop.
Shen Yinghu sighed and fluttered to her side. She handed her a letter. "This is what he left for you."
