Chu Li nodded helplessly. "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Alright, I'll try, but there are so many masters down there, especially on the islands. I may not be able to protect her."
"Just try your best. Let's see her fate." Monk Hui Cheng pressed his palms together.
Chu Li pressed his palms together and stood up. "I'll go over now."
"Wait a minute," Monk Hui Cheng said.
Chu Li looked at him.
Monk Hui Cheng took out a string of prayer beads and handed it to Chu Li. "This is my token."
Chu Li smiled and accepted it.
He knew that this string of prayer beads was a treasure. It had a calming effect when worn on one's body. It was given to him as a token, but it was actually a gift. He accepted it calmly. Compared to the effort he had to put in, this string of prayer beads was precious, but it was nothing.
Monk Hui Cheng came to him not because of his high cultivation level, but because of his vision. With his vision, he could predict good and bad luck and avoid bad luck. Only then could he protect Lu Zhu.
Monk Hui Cheng bowed deeply.
Chu Li returned the bow and left Heart Cleansing Yard.

Chu Li appeared at the top of a mountain in the next moment. He stood in front of the fence outside a thatched cottage and looked at Lu Zhu who was bending over to weed.
Lu Zhu wore a coarse shirt and had a wooden hairpin in her cloud-like hair. The bead hairpin and jade were kept away. Although the wooden hairpin was valuable, it showed a bit of simplicity and beauty. It had lost its magnificence and nobility.
She suddenly looked up and saw Chu Li standing there. She wiped the sweat off her forehead, put down the hoe, and walked closer. She opened the fence door and scoffed. "Come in."
Chu Li smiled and pressed his palms together.
His gray frock fluttered as he slowly entered the fence door and stepped on the gravel path to the thatched cottage. Lu Zhu made him a cup of tea. "Master Ding Ru, why are you here?"
Chu Li said, "Miss Lu, you should have guessed it."
"… Is Big Brother Zhou okay?" Lu Zhu hesitated. Her red lips moved slightly. After opening and closing several times, she finally mustered up the courage to ask.
Chu Li smiled. "Master Hui Cheng has been punished to face the wall in Heart Cleansing Yard for a hundred years. It can be considered a punishment but also an opportunity. Whether he can understand the divine power and improve his dharmic base depends on his own luck."
Lu Zhu let out a sigh of relief and nodded slowly. A smile appeared on her beautiful face.
Chu Li asked, "Miss Lu wants to wait for Master's Senior Huicheng for a hundred years?"
"Yes." Lu Zhu said softly, "We'll be fine. If he doesn't die, he'll return to the secular world and we'll grow old together."
A sweet smile appeared on her face, and her eyes were filled with longing.
Chu Li smiled and said, "A hundred years passed by in the blink of an eye. It's a joyous occasion for the lovers to be together. Master's Senior Huicheng was worried about your safety, Miss Lu, so he sent me over to protect you."
"Big Brother Zhou is still thinking of me …" Lu Zhu smiled sweetly.
Chu Li nodded lightly.
Lu Zhu said, "Actually, Big Brother Zhou, you don't have to worry. I am alone now. I have nothing to worry about. I have completely severed all ties with Fierce Gale Island. There are no more grudges between us. Who would come to deal with me?"
Chu Li shook his head. "You want to end it, but how can you end your relationship? If someone else wants to deal with Island Owner Lu, you'll be their greatest weakness."
Lu Zhu: "No one knows I'm here."
Chu Li smiled and said, "Miss Lu, aren't you being too serious? There are many strange people in this world, it won't be difficult to find you. "
"Then I don't have a place to stay?" Lu Zhu frowned.
Chu Li nodded. "It's better to stay on Fierce Gale Island."
"Impossible!" Lu Zhu said decisively.
She was extremely disappointed with Lu Junshan. If it was not for the Crouching Tiger Seal, Big Brother Zhou would not have committed suicide. If it was not for Monk Ding Ru's divine power that brought Big Brother Zhou back from the dead, her life would be meaningless.
Chu Li sighed. "For the sake of Master's Senior Huicheng, Miss Lu, you should return to Fierce Gale Island."
"I will never go back." Lu Zhu shook her head lightly.
Chu Li saw her determined expression and felt helpless. He sighed and said, "Alright then, I won't force Miss Lu. Let's go to the Great Mercy Temple."
Lu Zhu scoffed. "Can women enter the Great Mercy Temple?"
Chu Li said, "You can stay outside the Great Mercy Temple."
"Then what about Big Brother Zhou? No way. " Lu Zhu shook her head and said softly, "Master Ding Ru, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm fine. I have my own way."
"Miss Lu, your way is nothing more than the protection of Fierce Gale Island, right?" Chu Li shook his head. "They are not enough."
No matter how vicious Lu Junshan was, he would not watch his daughter be killed. Therefore, he secretly sent Protectors around, but they did not come out. He could sense their presence.
However, even though these guards were strong, they were far from being able to protect Lu Zhu.
"Someone really wants to kill me?" Lu Zhu frowned.
Chu Li said slowly, "Meng Yu from Thousand Sun Island will come to kill you."
He had already seen Lu Zhu's fate. He was going to be burned by Karmic Fire again. Lu Zhu was killed by Meng Yu.
"Meng Yu!" Lu Zhu curled her lips and showed a look of disdain. "This guy is so bad!"
Chu Li said, "Although he is bad, his martial arts is strong. Do you think the surrounding Protectors can stop him?"
"Why would he kill me?" Lu Zhu frowned. "Although there is a grudge between Fierce Gale Island and Thousand Sun Island, it is not enough to kill me."
"Who knows." Chu Li shook his head.
Meng Yu was vicious, scheming, and unscrupulous. To achieve his goals, killing was common. He guessed that he was trying to frame someone else and cause a dispute.
Lu Zhu did not say anything.
She was also from the sects on the sea, so she naturally knew how powerful Meng Yu was. He was a top master among the younger generation. If he really came to kill her, the Protectors of Fierce Gale Island would not be able to protect her.
"Bam bam bam bam …" Muffled sounds came from outside.
"Sister, run!" A shrill yell suddenly sounded.
Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror had already observed the situation outside. Six middle-aged men were attacking Meng Yu and were being beaten back by him. They were about to collapse.
"It really is …" Chu Li shook his head.
He appeared behind Meng Yu in a flash and used the Demon Suppression Seal.
"Bam!" Meng Yu retreated fifteen feet away and looked at Chu Li in shock. "It's you!"
He recognized the Demon Suppression Seal immediately. Feeling Chu Li's sudden increase in cultivation, his handsome face darkened as he stared at him.
Chu Li pressed his palms together and smiled. "Young Master Meng, you and I are fated!"
"You're everywhere!" Meng Yu gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood that was gushing up. He said with hatred, "I killed Lu Zhu. It's none of your business, right? Since when did the Great Mercy Temple save the people of Fierce Gale Island? "
Chu Li shook his head. "How can I not help when I see injustice? Miss Lu is a weak woman, how can she die in your hands? "
"Could it be that Fierce Gale Island and the Great Mercy Temple are in cahoots?" Meng Yu took a deep breath and smiled. "What a great discovery!"
Chu Li smiled. "Young Master Meng, if you don't leave now, don't blame me for being merciless!"
"Alright, goodbye!" Meng Yu turned and left without hesitation.
His vigor surged as the Demon Suppression Seal wreaked havoc in his body.
He had experienced the overbearing power of the Demon Suppression Seal. He could not suppress it by himself. He could only wait for death and ask for help.
Lu Zhu walked out of the hospital and came to Chu Li.
