Two days after Chu Li left, Lee Hanyan was summoned to Shen Yinghu's waterside pavilion.
The sun shone brightly and the lake was clear.
A gentle breeze blew from the lake to the pavilion. Shen Yinghu sat in the pavilion in a white tunic, lazily sizing up Lee Hanyan.
Lee Hanyan lowered her eyes and stood quietly, as if she was one with the vermilion pillar in the pavilion.
Shen Yinghu said, "Your Big Brother Du told me not to let you out of the valley. He's afraid that you'll be in danger."
Lee Hanyan pursed her lips.
Shen Yinghu smiled, "I've heard about Du Feng too. He's a madman who kills people like flies. You can't learn from him!"
Lee Hanyan frowned slightly and held back from retorting.
She felt that Brother Du did a good job killing them.
Those scumbags deserved to be killed. If they were not killed, who knows how many innocent and kind people would be harmed. Brother Du was doing justice on behalf of the heavens!
Shen Yinghu said, "He only dared to do that because he's highly skilled in martial arts. How many people want to kill him now? If it were you, you wouldn't live more than two days. Don't learn from him! "
Lee Hanyan sighed softly.
"What heart technique do you want to cultivate?" Shen Yinghu said, "The heart technique you're cultivating now is not bad. It doesn't lose to Snow Lunar Pavilion's heart technique."
"I'll listen to master."
"Then cultivate this. Du Feng always has a reason for doing things." Shen Yinghu sighed, "How's he doing?"
Lee Hanyan was stunned and raised her head in confusion.
Shen Yinghu said, "How's his mood? Forget it, he wouldn't have killed so many people if he was in a good mood. Those people are really unlucky to have met his blade! "
She understood that Chu Li's massacre was to vent his anger.
Lee Hanyan said, "What happened to Brother Du?"
"Poor guy." Shen Yinghu pursed her lips and smiled, "Disappointed in love."
Lee Hanyan's eyes widened in disbelief.
Shen Yinghu looked at her expression and giggled.
Lee Hanyan lowered her head in embarrassment, still in disbelief.
Could it be Du Xia?
Which woman could reject a person like Brother Du? Du Xia was too blind, wasn't she?
"It's not what you think." Shen Yinghu stopped giggling. Her cheeks were flushed from laughing so much that she looked tender and alluring. "He left Du Xia on his own accord."
"Why?" Li Hanyan asked.
"Du Xia's Kung Fu requires her to be free of worries, to be separated from her emotions and desires. In order for Du Xia to become an expert stronger than him, he took the initiative to break up." Shen Yinghu smiled lazily. "Don't you think he's stupid?"
"So that's how it is …" Li Hanyan was surprised and lamented, "Big Brother Du must be feeling very bitter!"
"He's a fool!" Shen Yinghu sighed, "If a woman trains to be invincible, she can only live a lonely life. Your Big Brother Du is harming others and himself!"
Li Hanyan said, "Brother Du's martial arts will definitely surpass Sister Du Xia's!"
Shen Yinghu pursed her lips and laughed, "You little girl, your knowledge is limited. What do you know!"
"In today's world, who can defeat Big Brother Du?" Li Hanyan was unconvinced and said, "If there really is, they would have jumped out long ago!"
"He is now a Grandmaster. Du Xia is going to become an Enlightened Master." Shen Yinghu waved her hand and smiled, "I haven't been this happy in a long time … Alright, I'll do as you say. Let's practice what we were before. Do you want to practice saber or sword?"
"Big Brother Du wants me to practice my sword." Li Hanyan said, "I'll practice my saber technique when I'm free."
"He's afraid that your murderous aura is too strong." Shen Yinghu smiled, "Go with Du Qiu to White Bone Mountain in two days. Send a letter and get some fresh air. It's not good to be cooped up in the valley all day."
Green Hill was at its most obedient now. They had not recovered yet and dared not cause any trouble. Therefore, it was safe to leave the valley. Chu Li asked Li Hanyan to leave the valley less, not that she should not.
"Yes." Li Hanyan said.
Shen Yinghu waved her hand, "Go, just follow Du Qiu."
"Yes." Li Hanyan closed fist saluted and left.

In the evening, Chu Li bathed in the sunset glow and stood outside Green Hill Town.
The majestic city gate and towering city walls were not inferior to Chong Ming Town. The city was twice as big as Chong Ming Town and it was even more prosperous and lively.
He left Snow Lunar Pavilion and used his Light-body Technique to travel quickly. In a few days, he arrived at Green Hill Town.
He did not stop along the way. He was too lazy to kill.
After looking around, he walked towards the gate of Green Hill Town.
There were two strong guards at the gate. They were fierce and their eyes were sharp. They looked at Chu Li from head to toe and finally, their eyes landed on the blade at his waist.
Chu Li's white robe was spotless. He did not look like a martial artist at all.
There were no changes in his temples and the top of his head. His eyes were not bright and his spirit was not full. It was obvious that he was not a martial artist.
The two guards looked at his blade and scoffed. They waved their hands to let him in.
The person in front of Chu Li was interrogated. He was a martial artist and was full of spirit.
After the two guards interrogated him, they gave him a warning.
Green Hill Town had its own rules. Violence was strictly forbidden. Once it was used, the lightest punishment would be the crippling of martial arts and throwing out of the town. The heaviest punishment would be death. The Town Defense Public House and High Duke's Public House would execute the punishment at the same time. There was no chance of survival. If you wanted to live, you had to tuck your tail between your legs.
The martial artist was annoyed by the questioning. After a warning, he entered the town angrily.
Chu Li entered the town.
The main street was crowded with people and carriages. The sounds of hawking, bargaining, quarreling, and children playing were mixed together with the aroma of food. It was like a tidal wave rushing toward Chu Li.
Chu Li walked slowly, feeling the bustle of the town.
The lively places were actually similar. It was as if he was walking in Chong Ming Town.
After walking along the main street for a while, he found a restaurant — Mountain Beyond Mountain Restaurant. It was towering with three floors and had an unusual style. Standing on the third floor, one could overlook the entire Green Hill Town.
He went upstairs and ordered a few dishes. He sat near the window and drank by himself while enjoying the scenery. He also listened to the conversations of the people around him. It was a different kind of fun.
After these days of adjustment, he walked out of the helpless and angry predicament. He completely put aside his negative thoughts and regained his determination.
He had to work hard and reach the Enlightened Mastery's Boundary before Xiao Qi!
The Regal Sword Scripture was powerful, but if he wanted to break the shackles of the scripture and regain Xiao Qi's heart, she would not be able to escape his clutches!

"Everyone, have you heard? The White Shroud Chief's surname is Du. His name is Du Feng!"
"This isn't considered new, right?"
"Alright, this doesn't count. I'll tell you something new. I'm sure you haven't heard of it before!"
"Hurry up, if you really haven't heard of it, I'll treat you to a meal!"
"Alright, thank you very much!"
"If you keep us guessing, we won't listen anymore!"
"Alright, alright, you guys are too impatient … Aiyo! Alright, alright, I'll talk! "
"Elder Meng, you're asking for a beating!"
"Sigh … You guys, I'll talk! Do you know where Du Feng is from? "
"Where?"
"I don't know either. Aiyo! Everyone, listen to me. Don't fight! "
"I'll beat you to death if you keep us guessing!"
"Alright, alright, Du Feng is related to Snow Lunar Pavilion!"
"Snow Lunar Pavilion … Snow Lunar Pavilion practices swordsmanship, right?"
Snow Lunar Pavilion was a famous first-rate faction in the Ji Dynasty's martial arts world.
"I heard that Du Feng's fiancée is a disciple of Snow Lunar Pavilion!"
"Oh, that's possible!" Someone answered, "The female disciples of Snow Lunar Pavilion are all beauties. Which young master wouldn't be tempted? Unfortunately, Snow Lunar Pavilion is very strict. There's no way to take advantage of them!"
"I say, these women are too fierce. No matter how beautiful they are, they can't be touched!"
"That's because you don't know the beauty of martial arts masters. No matter how fierce a woman is, once she marries into the family, will she beat up her husband? With such a martial arts master at home, you'll feel more at ease, right? "
"You're right!"
"The female disciples of Snow Lunar Pavilion are indeed in high demand. Du Feng's wife is a disciple of Snow Lunar Pavilion. This is big news!"
"What's the use of knowing!" Someone curled his lips in disdain, "Du Feng is not easy to deal with. Snow Lunar Pavilion is even harder to deal with. Who would dare to mess around?"
"Where did this Du Feng come from?"
"Who knows? Maybe he's a disciple of some hidden faction? Usually, there's no lack of people like this who amaze the world with a single brilliant feat. However, his swordsmanship is too powerful. Thousands of people have died in his hands, right? "
"He's really a ruthless killer!"
"If you line up a thousand people and cut them down one by one, I won't be able to do it!"
Chu Li frowned as he listened to their news and shook his head.
There was really no useful news.
