Xiao Baihe smiled bitterly: "You guessed it?"
Chu Li smiled. "I didn't expect the Fourth Young Master to have such a profound swordsmanship!"
"I still can't defeat a Grandmaster." Xiao Baihe shook his head.
Chu Li said, "If it's just one Grandmaster, Fourth Young Master, you won't be a problem, but three … Fourth Young Master, what kind of sword technique is this?"
"Soul Chasing Life Taking Sword." Xiao Baihe sighed: "It's a pity that I haven't mastered it."
"Soul-chasing Deadly Sword …" Chu Li sighed. "The sword lives up to its name."
Siao Shi scoffed. "Fourth Brother, what are you doing? There are four Grandmasters and you still want to provoke them?"
"Second sister, if I don't kill a few people, I really can't vent my anger!" Xiao Baihe clenched his teeth and scoffed, "If it wasn't for the fact that I can't kill King An, I would've done it long ago!"
"You're crazy!" Siao Shi snapped, "What's the use of killing a few people! … If something were to happen to you, what would happen to Big Brother and us? How would we explain it to Mother a hundred years later? "
Xiao Baihe looked at her helplessly.
Xiao Shi said, "You're not allowed to compete with the people from King An's Imperial Residence, or else, I'll break your legs myself!"
Xiao Baihe sighed, "I'm just angry, Second Sister, you have to be careful, King An is a very treacherous person!"
"Of course I know that!" Xiao Shi rolled her eyes at him and scoffed. "Just don't give me a hard time. Hurry up and go back!"
Xiao Baihe looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. An invisible force entered his body and healed his internal organs. It was as if he was immersed in a hot spring.
Meng Zhi's palm energy kept on entangling his body, and he could not get rid of it no matter what. After all, Meng Zhi was a Grandmaster, and his inner energy was extremely pure, so it was not something that he could get rid of.
But under this warm energy, Meng Zhi's palm force quickly dissipated, like snow meeting sunlight.
"Chief Chu, thank you." Xiao Baihe cupped his fists.
Chu Li smiled. "Fourth Young Master, be careful. The people from the Imperial Residence of King An will not give up. When you go out, you must follow a Grandmaster."
"En. I understand. "Xiao Baihe nodded.
This was his first time going up against a Grandmaster and he knew how powerful they were. It was true that he was no match for them and he had to concentrate on his cultivation for a while to have any hope. However, it was a pity that the Grandmaster's Boundary was difficult. It was not something that could be broken through just because one wanted to.
When he thought of this, he looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li was younger than him, but he had already broken through to the Grandmaster's Boundary. He really did not know what kind of fortuitous encounter he had.
"Alright. Let's go quickly. "Siao Shi said," Be careful on the road, don't let them kill you! "
"Second sister, I am an experienced person!" Xiao Baihe said with smile.
Xiao Shi scoffed. "It's you old timers who are going to suffer. Don't be careless!"
"Yes, then I'll take my leave first!" Xiao Baihe cupped his fist, and with a flash, he had already disappeared into the woods.
Xiao Shi shook her head and said, "This guy is really worrisome."
Chu Li said, "The Fourth Young Master's martial arts are profound. He will definitely achieve great things in the future. Let's go!"
"Hais … The thought of going to the wedding ceremony makes me want to die! "Siao Shi scoffed.
Chu Li did not say anything.
He did not feel good about it either. If all of his plans did not work and he still could not kill King An, Xiao Shi would really be in the fire pit. She could only fake her death and escape, or he could just kidnap her and disappear without a trace, making it an unsolved case.
Seeing Chu Li's expression, Xiao Shi smiled and said, "Don't look so gloomy. If the spiritual crane doesn't work, let's try another peak? "
"Another peak?" Chu Li frowned and shook his head, "I have seen the power of the spirit beast. If I go to another peak and provoke another spirit beast. What if it chases me out of the Hundred-Thousand Hills? Forget it! "
After Chu Li saw the spiritual crane, he realized that the spirit beast was far stronger than what was written in the books.
The spiritual crane was still fine. If he encountered a more ferocious spirit beast, it would definitely kill him. Even if it chased him out of the Hundred-Thousand Hills, once he was out of the Hundred-Thousand Hills, he would not be able to stop it. If it went on a killing spree, he wouldn't be able to stop it and could only watch as it killed people. That was truly a grave sin.
If he really wanted to go to another peak, he would have to wait until his Omniscient Mirror was stronger to be able to see further, or the Scripture of Life and Death improved further.

King An and the others quickly saw the majestic Fairy's Capital. They also saw the four people outside the Fairy's Capital.
Siao Shi was wearing a white tunic that covered her face. Beside her were Yang Xu and Xue Ling. Behind her stood Chu Li.
Even outside the gate where people were coming and going, the four of them were still very conspicuous.
When they saw King An, they moved over. Siao Shi entered the sedan while the two ladies stood beside the sedan.
Chu Li approached King An and closed fist saluted, "Greetings, Your Royal Highness."
"You guys left fast." King An said calmly, "Did you see the assassin?"
"What assassin?" Chu Li pretended to be surprised.
King An smiled faintly, "Lu Yu Rong joined hands with you?"
Chu Li said, "The Ren and Yi Public Houses have a blood feud. So many people died on both sides. Do you think it's possible, Your Royal Highness?"
King An said lightly, "There is nothing impossible in this world. Especially when two smart people like you come together, the impossible becomes possible!"
Chu Li said seriously, "Your Royal Highness has overestimated me. I don't have the ability to resolve the feud between the two Public Houses."
"Lu Yu Rong!" King An smiled faintly, "One day, I will take her down!"
Chu Li said, "Then I hope King An succeeds!"
King An glanced at him and waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
Chu Li tactfully went to the side of the sedan.
The ceremonial procession was set up and music was played, attracting people's attention. Only then did they remember that King An went down to welcome the Second Lady of the Yi Public House. The first beauty of the Great Ji Dynasty was back!
The people quickly rushed over. If it was not for the Divine Light Army from the Fairy's Capital who came to maintain order, the passionate people would have overturned the sedan to see the first beauty of the Great Ji Dynasty.
Chu Li, Xue Ling and Yang Xu accompanied the sedan. They followed the crowd into the Fairy's Capital and arrived at the Imperial Residence of King An.
What followed was a lively ceremony. They bowed to heaven and earth and entered the bridal chamber. It was grander and more complicated than the wedding of the commoners. It went from noon to night. Then, the banquet started. Chu Li, as a member of the bride's family, was a rank one Scribe. His identity was enough to sit at the top table.
There were five people at this table. Other than Chu Li, he did not recognize the other four.
The one sitting at the back was a skinny young man. He was about the same age as Chu Li. He was smiling with a hint of naughtiness. He looked like a gangster.
Chu Li would not underestimate him. Those who could sit at this table were not of low status.
The young man stood up, cupped his fists, and said with a smile: "Chief Steward Chu, come, allow me to introduce myself. I am Li Gui, the Deputy Chief Steward of the Prince's Mansion. This is Princess Consort Xue's elder brother, General Xue Tie. This is Princess Song's elder brother, Song Menglin, Reading Assistant Song. This is our Prince's Mansion's Chief Steward, Song Sansi."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and closed fist saluted with a smile. "Chu Li greets General Xue and Reading Secretary Song. We will be a family from now on. If I have done anything wrong or offended you, I hope that General Xue and Reading Secretary Song will be magnanimous enough to forgive me!"
He scoffed. Among the people here, his rank was the highest. However, these people deliberately put on airs and bullied him. They wanted to put him in his place. They did not even take the initiative to greet him. Instead, they wanted him to speak first!
He had already found out about Xue Tie and Song Menglin. Their statuses were different, so he could not be too presumptuous. As for the two Deputy Chief of the Imperial Residence, he did not need to be polite. He would soon be their direct superior. There was no need to give them face.
"Chief Chu, you are so young. To be able to advance to rank one, we are extremely envious!" Xue Tie laughed.
He looked ordinary. He had a long face and narrow eyes. When he looked around, there was a cold glint in his eyes. It was obvious that his hands were stained with blood. He was tough and strong.
Chu Li held up his silver cup and smiled. "General Xue has guarded the borders for the country. Your contributions are great. Let me toast to General Xue!"
He finished speaking and drank the cup in one go.
