Chu Li smiled in disdain. "Altar Leader …"
"Do you think the Altar Leader can't do anything to you?" Li Ruolan was annoyed when she saw his nonchalant look. "It's a piece of cake for the Altar Leader to take care of an outer mountain disciple like you!"
Chu Li smiled. "He can't do it himself, right?"
"Does he need to do it himself?" Li Ruolan scoffed. "As long as word gets out, there will be plenty of people who will take care of you. They don't have to do it themselves, they can just hire assassins like the Destiny Clan to take care of you."
Chu Li frowned. "Could it really be the Destiny Clan?"
The Destiny Clan's hidden weapons were top-notch, he had to be careful.
"They might be involved. Anyway, you have to be careful." Li Ruolan frowned. "Why don't you follow me back to Small Light Peak first?"
Chu Li replied, "There's no need for that. Just show me what you've got."
Li Ruolan glared at him. She knew it was useless to say anything else, so she scoffed. "You have to recover your martial arts as soon as possible. Come in, I'll protect you."
Zhao Dahe was at his weakest at this moment, so he was most afraid that someone would take advantage of him.
Chu Li nodded and entered the house. He sat on the bed and channeled.
Li Ruolan followed him in and sat on the armchair opposite him.
Time passed slowly. The moonlight shone like water. It was quiet outside, but the house was warm.
In the middle of the night, the moonlight shone brightly on the paper windows, illuminating the house.
Chu Li got off the bed and stretched his body.
The Miracle Cure Pill was miraculous as it allowed him to recover in half a day. Even the Spirit Blessing Pill was not as effective as the Holy Church of Light.
However, there would not be a lot of such miraculous pills.
Li Ruolan opened her eyes and looked at him. Her charming eyes could still be seen in the dark house.
Chu Li smiled. "I'm fine now."
Li Ruolan sighed in relief. "At least there were no twists and turns."
She had been worried that someone would play tricks, especially Altar Leader Mo. If he sent someone to take advantage of the situation, he could just send two martial arts masters, one to hold her back, and the other to deal with Zhao Dahe.
Now that Chu Li had recovered his martial arts without any twists and turns, she was finally relieved.
Chu Li said, "Miss Ruolan, you should go back as soon as possible. The news of my martial arts being crippled might spread soon. Don't drag you into it!"
Li Ruolan frowned and asked, "How is that possible?"
Chu Li smiled. "How could Altar Leader Mo let go of such an opportunity? What a great opportunity to kill with a borrowed knife! "
Li Ruolan nodded slowly and said, "This is indeed a good opportunity."
Chu Li said, "I'd like to see who will jump out!"
Li Ruolan asked, "Can you handle it?"
"I like this kind of excitement, so I'm here to join in the fun." Chu Li smiled.
Li Ruolan replied slowly, "I'll let the Saint know."
She cupped her fists and left.

At dawn, Chu Li arrived at Nine Star Tower.
As soon as he stepped onto the third floor, he saw Yang Ying sitting at a table by the window. She ate the dishes on the table quickly and elegantly.
Chu Li slowly walked towards her and sat opposite her. He smiled and asked, "Miss Yang hasn't left yet?"
When Yang Ying saw him, she said unhappily, "Why are you here again!"
Chu Li smiled. "Can't I come to Nine Star Tower?"
"You still dare to go out now?" Yang Ying looked at him from head to toe and shook her head. "Your complexion is indeed terrible and your martial arts have been crippled!"
Chu Li asked, "Everyone knows?"
"Everyone in Gale City knows." Yang Ying was dressed in a light green gown and looked fresh and elegant. "Everyone is overjoyed. As the number one master in Gale City, you rose quickly and fell quickly. It's so satisfying!"
Chu Li nodded. "That's true."
A person who rose suddenly would be envied, just like how a nouveau riche would be treated coldly. This was human nature. He rose too quickly in Gale City and was envied by too many people.
Chu Li sighed. "This is fate. No one knows what's going to happen next. There's nothing we can do about it."
"I heard that your martial arts were crippled because you broke the rules of the Holy Church of Light?"
"Yes."
"What rules did I break?" Yang Ying looked at him curiously.
Chu Li said, "I killed a fellow disciple."
"Killing each other is a big taboo in any sect!" Yang Ying nodded in understanding. "Don't you know that you can't kill your fellow disciples? How stupid! "
Chu Li scoffed. "She wanted to kill me first. How could I just wait and see?"
"That's true. Anyway, you're unlucky." Yang Ying smiled.
"Thud thud thud!" Hurried footsteps could be heard as two young men strode up to the third floor. They pushed through the crowd and arrived in front of Chu Li.
Chu Li looked up at them.
"Zhao Dahe, we're disciples of the Sublime Righteous Association!" One of the young men shouted. "We heard that you're skilled in martial arts. We're here to learn a thing or two from you!"
Chu Li smiled. "Sublime Righteous Association? I've never heard of it!"
"Hmph, you haven't heard of it before, but you'll remember it in the future!" The young man scoffed. "You won't forget it for the rest of your life!"
Chu Li shook his head. "An association like yours isn't worth mentioning."
"We'll show you how powerful we are today!" The young man sneered.
Chu Li said, "You've heard some news, haven't you?"
"What news?" The young man scoffed. "Come on, let's have a spar. I'll see how good you are!"
Chu Li shook his head and laughed.
Yang Ying suddenly threw a punch.
"Bang!" The young man was sent flying to the staircase.
She followed up with another punch, and another young man flew straight out and landed at the top of the stairs.
Yang Ying slowly retracted her small fist and scoffed. "You guys don't have the right to fight him!"
Chu Li gave a fist salute and smiled. "Miss Yang, thank you."
"What are you thanking me for?" Yang Ying scoffed. "I can't stand people who kick me when I'm down!"
Chu Li said, "Didn't the White Tiger Sect want to take this opportunity to kill me and take revenge?"
"Hmph, you guys aren't that shameless!" Yang Ying said. "You're already in this state. How can you take revenge?"
Chu Li smiled. "I guess this counts as revenge, right?"
"That's right!" Yang Ying said.
While they were talking, another group of people ran up to the third floor. They approached Chu Li and challenged him again.
Yang Ying threw a punch at them and sent them flying.
Chu Li held a glass of wine leisurely.
Yang Ying was furious when she saw him like this. "Aren't you anxious at all? Your martial arts have been crippled. Why aren't you running away? "
"Where to?" Chu Li shook his head. "They won't chase after me if I run away?"
"It's better than waiting for death here!" Yang Ying said.
Chu Li smiled. "Thank you for your concern, Miss Yang. I won't die so easily."
"Hmph, stubborn!" Yang Ying curled her red lips.
While they were talking, Miss Yue Ru walked over. She was dressed in a peach blossom gown and looked light and graceful.
When she saw Yang Ying, she curtsied with a smile and sat by the table. "Miss Yang, you're here too. Big Brother Zhao, I've been looking for you."
Chu Li smiled. "Why are you looking for me?"
"I'm going back to Phoenix Goddess Brothel," Yue Ru said.
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "Phoenix Goddess Brothel will become a target for everyone. There'll be endless trouble."
"Phoenix Goddess Brothel has never been afraid of trouble," Yue Ru said.
"Miss Yue Ru's heroic spirit is impressive!" Lu Xiaofeng appeared at the staircase. He was dressed in a green tunic and laughed. "I'm impressed!"
Yue Ru frowned. "Young Master Lu."
