Li Hanyan was practicing her swordplay on the martial arts field.
The martial arts field was very lively. Almost all the disciples of the Snow Lunar Pavilion were there.
In such a huge valley, the most lively place was the martial arts field. There would never be a lack of people.
Some were training diligently in the martial arts field, silently working hard. Some gathered together to chat idly, slacking off, chattering non-stop. Some were sparring with each other, their swords coming and going fiercely, making the atmosphere even livelier.
Li Hanyan practiced her swordsmanship alone. Her sword gleamed brightly. Her swordsmanship, which was originally soft yet strong, was filled with murderous intent in her hands. The onlookers made way for her, not daring to get close for fear of being accidentally injured by her.
When she was practicing her swordsmanship, she was unconsciously influenced by the Seven Styles of Godly Knife. She infused murderous intent into her sword, and her seemingly soft swordsmanship was still frightening.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Du Feng is here!"
"Ah? Du Feng? White Shroud Shendao Du Feng? "
"Yes, Du Feng is already at the foot of the mountain. He'll be climbing up soon!"
"He's finally here!"
Li Hanyan sheathed her sword, turned around and ran. Like a graceful goose, she flew out of the martial arts field and entered Suru's waterside pavilion.
Suru was dressed in an apricot yellow gown. She was cultivating on the bed when she heard the commotion and slowly opened her eyes.
"Sister Du Qiu, Brother Du is here!"
"… Du Feng is here?"
"I heard that we're already at the foot of the mountain!" Li Hanyan's eyes lit up, her voice excited.
Su Ru was not as excited as she was.
She was no longer as weak as she was when she first arrived. She could not wait for Chu Li to stay.
Master Shen Yinghu was no longer in seclusion after she recovered from her injuries. With Li Hanyan as her companion, she was no longer lonely and had regained her original appearance of Suru.
She smiled and said unhurriedly, "Since we're at the foot of the mountain, we'll be going up soon."
Li Hanyan suppressed her anxiety and sighed, "I don't know what Big Brother Du has been up to. He's gone missing and there's no news of him in the martial arts world!"
Su Ru smiled and said, "Maybe something happened."
Li Hanyan sighed, "Brother Du came back this time to see Sister Du Xia, right?"
Suru nodded and said, "He might be here to see if Sister has come out of seclusion."
"I see …" Li Hanyan nodded.
The two of them had been talking for a while, but Chu Li had yet to appear. Feeling a little strange, he left the waterside pavilion.
There were already many people gathered at the entrance of the valley. They were all craning their necks to look down.
Suru pulled a Shijie aside and asked.
This Senior Sister said that Du Feng had been standing at the foot of the mountain in a daze. He had no intention of climbing the mountain.
Li Hanyan could not hold it in any longer. She rushed out of the valley and ran down the mountain. Before she reached the foot of the mountain, she was already waving her jade-like hands from afar.
Chu Li stared blankly at the mountain.
This mountain was different from the others. It was as if he was tainted with Xiao Qi's aura. Once he saw it, his heart would be stirred up, causing him to hesitate.
He was conflicted. He wanted to see Xiao Qi come out of isolated cultivation, but at the same time, he was worried.
He was not ready yet, so he did not know how to meet Xiao Qi.
Looking at the mountain and thinking about Xiao Qi, who was in the mountain, Chu Li's heart ached. His longing for her grew stronger, and it felt like an invisible net was tightly binding him.
Stand here. With every breath he took, it was as if he could smell the delicate fragrance on her body and see her faint smile. He could not wait to hold her in his arms.
Holding her cool and soft body was like owning the world. The two of them no longer cared about the storm outside, and stayed in Snow Lunar Pavilion!
"Big Brother Du!" Li Hanyan's call came from afar. She stood on top of a pine tree, stepping on the treetop and waving her hand.
Chu Li saw her. He put away his complicated expression and smiled.
"Big Brother Du, why aren't you going up the mountain?" Li Hanyan floated closer and looked at him with her bright eyes.
Chu Li smiled. "I'm thinking about something."
Li Hanyan looked at his face. She could vaguely feel his loneliness and sighed. "It's a pity that Sister Du Xia has not come out of isolated cultivation."
Chu Li said, "I'm here to see you and Du Qiu, and also to meet the seniors."
"Big Brother Du, you haven't been here for a long time!" Li Hanyan smiled.
Chu Li walked up the mountain with her and asked about her situation.
The two of them were very fast. When they arrived at the entrance of the valley, Yang Lingfeng and the others enthusiastically surrounded them. They surrounded him and entered the valley.

As the sun set, Shen Yinghu was holding a book and sitting in a gazebo on the lake.
The surface of the lake was reflected by the sunlight like a red brocade. Shen Yinghu's face was like a hibiscus, beautiful beyond compare.
She put down the book and looked thoughtfully at Chu Li who was walking over.
Chu Li closed fist saluted and sat opposite her.
"I thought you wouldn't dare to come again." Shen Yinghu looked at him, the corner of her delicate white lips slightly raised, revealing a lazy smile. "You're very brave!"
Chu Li said, "This time I'm here for official business."
"Say it," Shen Yinghu said.
Chu Li said, "I want to ask the seniors of Snow Lunar Pavilion to help the House of High Duke."
Shen Yinghu laughed. "You're crazy!"
Chu Li said, "Just wear black and cover your face. Just cover your body."
"You can cover your face but you can't hide your martial arts!"
"As long as you cover your face, martial arts will be fine."
"Nonsense!" Shen Yinghu said impatiently. "As long as someone investigates, they will find out that it's us!"
Chu Li smiled. "Senior, go and guard the Public House. You don't have to show yourself."
"… You're going to mobilize all your forces?" Shen Yinghu frowned slightly. "Is it that dangerous?"
"I don't have to tell you how dangerous it is. Senior, you should know!"
"Sigh … You'll have to ask the pavilion leader." Shen Yinghu sighed. "This is not a trivial matter. It also concerns the fate of Snow Lunar Pavilion."
Chu Li said, "Just block it for a while at the critical moment. I'll be there to support immediately."
"You —?" Shen Yinghu smiled. "Although you're a Grandmaster and have the reputation of the White Shroud Shendao, you're still lacking if you really meet those old fellas."
Chu Li smiled and disappeared in front of her in a flash. The next moment, he appeared in front of her waterside pavilion. Then, he flashed again and returned to the gazebo.
Shen Yinghu tilted her head and looked at him. She smiled. "This is not Light-body Technique."
"God's Limbs from the Titanium Temple." Chu Li said. "But I've cultivated it as Chu Li. Senior, you have to keep it a secret."
Shen Yinghu laughed.
Chu Li looked at her strangely but did not use the Omniscient Mirror.
Shen Yinghu said, "Are you being forced to become a monk?"
Chu Li said. "I can't see through the secular world. I can't see through love."
"Being a monk is not a skill!"
"Senior, don't worry. I won't give up on her."
"You men …" Shen Yinghu smiled sadly and shook her head. "I hope you won't forget what you said today!"
Chu Li nodded deeply.
"… Hmm, with God's Limbs, it'll be much more convenient." Shen Yinghu sighed. "But this matter will still be decided by the pavilion leader. Don't get your hopes up."
Chu Li nodded slowly and closed fist saluted.
After dinner and drinking with Yang Lingfeng, Zhao Feihu, and Shu Qingdie, Chu Li went to the lakeside and taught Lee Hanyan swordsmanship.
Lee Hanyan was indeed a genius in martial arts. She progressed very quickly and had excellent comprehension. With just a few pointers from Chu Li, she could deduce many things from one instance. If she did not die prematurely, her future would be bright. She would be another top-notch master.
The next morning, Chu Li went to the gazebo on the lake. Shen Yinghu was already sitting there.
It seemed like she had been sitting in the gazebo the whole time, letting loneliness drown her.
