"Senior Brother Ji!" Li Ruolan smiled sweetly.
Her charming eyes suddenly became clear and charming. Her eyes were watery as if they were filled with autumn water.
Chu Li's heart sank and he sighed to himself. It was obvious that Li Ruolan liked this Senior Brother Ji!
Senior Brother Ji was dressed in a green robe. He cupped his fists with a handsome smile and let out a sigh of relief. "I finally made it!"
"Senior Brother Ji, why are you here?" Li Ruolan asked.
Senior Brother Ji replied, "I unintentionally heard that you went to the Qiu Dynasty. The masters of the Qiu Dynasty are powerful. How can a weak lady like you not be in danger after being chased for thousands of miles? I'm here to help you!"
He looked at Chu Li. "This is?"
"This is Junior Brother Zhao Dahe!" Li Ruolan took off her veil and smiled sweetly. "Thanks to Junior Brother Zhao's help, I wouldn't have succeeded this time!"
"Junior Brother Zhao Dahe." Senior Brother Ji cupped his fists and smiled. "I'm Ji Xin, thank you!"
He knew Zhao Dahe's name. All thirty-six patrols knew about this genius. Li Ruolan was lucky to have met such a genius. Not only did he have outstanding martial arts talent, but he was also born in the countryside. He was smart and unexpected. He could do what others could not and had a promising future.
Chu Li cupped his fists and said, "I'm just following orders. There's no need to thank me. I should be thanking Senior Sister Li for saving my life."
"Junior Brother Zhao, you're injured?" Ji Xin asked.
Chu Li nodded. "My martial arts was crippled."
"Martial arts are useless!" Ji Xin was shocked. He shook his head and sighed. "What a pity. Fortunately, Junior Brother Zhao, you're still young. You can cultivate again. Don't be discouraged!"
"Junior Brother Zhao has cultivated the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. He'll recover his martial arts soon." Li Ruolan smiled.
"You've cultivated the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture!" Ji Xin's expression changed as he looked at him in shock. "I didn't expect someone else to cultivate this besides Junior Brother Qin Huaichuan. You're indeed a genius!"
Chu Li said, "Senior Brother Qin taught me."
"That's rare!" Ji Xin exclaimed. "I'm afraid only the two of you have cultivated this scripture in the Holy Church. Junior Brother Zhao, Junior Brother Zhao Dahe.
Li Ruolan excitedly recounted what had happened.
Ji Xin sighed emotionally. "I can't believe I managed to kill two of Hai Cang Mountain's elders. This is a great contribution!"
"I'm just assisting. All the credit belongs to Senior Sister Li," Chu Li said calmly.
Ji Xin shook his head. "If it weren't for you, Junior Brother Zhao, Junior Sister Li wouldn't have been able to accomplish such a shocking feat."
"Senior Brother Ji!" Li Ruolan pouted.
Ji Xin chuckled. "Alright, Junior Sister Li, you're very powerful too."
Li Ruolan rolled her eyes at him.
Chu Li shook his head and turned his gaze away. He did not want to look at them.
"Junior Brother Zhao, are you feeling unwell?" When Ji Xin noticed that Chu Li did not look well, he quickly asked, "Do you want to find a place to rest?"
Chu Li shook his head. "Let's go back as soon as possible. We need to meditate and recuperate."
"Yes, yes, we need to recover our martial arts as soon as possible," Ji Xin quickly said. "Junior Sister Li, I'll bring Junior Brother Zhao along so that we can leave faster too."
As he spoke, he pushed Li Ruolan away and placed his palm on Chu Li's back.
Li Ruolan said helplessly, "I'm fine."
"After all, you've been through a fight. I'll do it." Ji Xin shook his head. "Let's go."
As he spoke, he floated on the ground at an incredible speed.
On the other hand, Li Ruolan went to his other side. While she talked to him, she used her Light-body Technique and left Chu Li in the cold.
Chu Li decided that out of sight, out of mind.
Even though he did not have any improper thoughts towards Li Ruolan and was only teasing her a little to match his identity and personality, it was not right for a country bumpkin like Li Ruolan to not be moved by the care and protection of a beautiful woman like her.
However, Chu Li still felt uncomfortable when he saw that Li Ruolan was in love with Senior Brother Ji and did not avoid him at all. This was a man's nature. He wished that all beautiful women would belong to him.
Li Ruolan asked, "Senior Brother Ji, what happened to the outer mountain disciple that you received?"
"He's dead." Ji Xin sighed. "He wasn't lucky enough."
"What a pity." Li Ruolan sighed softly. "Senior Brother Ji, don't be sad. Life and death are fated."
"It's my mistake. I shouldn't have rushed him to train." Ji Xin shook his head and looked guilty. "He'll be fine after a few more years of training."
"If he's unlucky, it'll be useless even if he trained for a few more years," Li Ruolan said.
Ji Xin shook his head. "I was a little anxious when I saw that you've been leading Junior Brother Zhao so smoothly and managed to enter the Great Light Peak in just a few months. It's all my fault. I'm really not suitable to be the guide. I've already reported to the Saint that I'll no longer receive outer mountain disciples."
"Senior Brother Ji, you're too extreme!" Li Ruolan frowned in dissatisfaction. "If you don't receive disciples, you'll have to run around. It's too dangerous!"
"I'm not afraid of danger." Ji Xin said, "As long as my conscience is at peace."
"You only think about yourself and don't think about others!" Li Ruolan was annoyed. "What if something happens to you? What will happen to the people who care about you?"
Ji Xin laughed. "I've overcome many obstacles. If I'm supposed to die, I would've died a long time ago. I'm lucky to be able to become a patrol from a young lad at the foot of the mountain. Junior Sister Li, you don't have to worry about me."
He turned to look at Chu Li and smiled. "Junior Brother Zhao, our backgrounds are similar. I was also a country bumpkin who entered the Great Light Peak. In the end, I've come this far. You're more talented than me. Work hard and strive to become an Altar Leader or even a Priest!"
Chu Li nodded.
It was no wonder that Li Ruolan was so kind to him. It was because his background was similar to Ji Xin's.
Li Ruolan smiled at Ji Xin. "Junior Brother Zhao, you have a bright future ahead of you. If there are no accidents, it won't be difficult for you to become a Priest."
"That's true." Ji Xin smiled faintly.
Chu Li said, "Senior Sister Zhao, you flatter me. It's not that easy to become a Priest!"
"You have martial arts and intelligence. As long as you're not that unlucky, you'll become a Priest!" Li Ruolan said, "So don't get distracted. Work hard and you'll become a Priest sooner or later!"
Chu Li smiled.
"Then we'll have to curry favor with you in advance." Ji Xin laughed. "A future Priest."
Chu Li said, "Senior Brother Ji, don't tease me!"
Ji Xin laughed. "Junior Sister Li never exaggerates. Since you said that you have the qualifications to become a Priest, there's a high chance that you'll become a Priest. Work hard."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Ji," Chu Li said. His expression changed and he pointed diagonally opposite him. "Be careful!"
"Tss!" A bolt of lightning shot out from under his feet and shot toward Chu Li.
Li Ruolan immediately rushed forward.
"Ding!" Her long sword was deflected and her body stopped moving.
Ji Xin saw that the situation was bad and was about to let go of Chu Li to rush forward.
Suddenly, a strong suction force came from Chu Li's back and stuck to his palm. Then, his inner energy surged into Chu Li's body like a flood.
"Tss!" Chu Li swung his right hand and a blade light shot out.
"Ding!" The long sword that was aimed at Li Ruolan quickly blocked the flying blade.
