He fist saluted. "Senior Sister Lu, I'll take my leave first."
Lu Zhen said, "Don't rush. Junior Brother Zhao, your cultivation level is too low. Why are you so weak?"
"His martial arts was crippled by a master from Hai Cang Mountain and he's cultivating again," Li Ruolan said.
"No wonder, but it's rare that he managed to escape from Monk Zhi Shan with such a low cultivation level! It's rare! "Lu Zhen smiled pleasantly.
"Senior Sister Lu, you're flattering me." Chu Li fist saluted awkwardly.
Lu Zhen ignored his ugliness and was very enthusiastic because he was skilled in martial arts. To Lu Zhen, a man's charm came from his abilities.
A man who was strong enough was truly charming. Those who were weak in martial arts could not be regarded as a real man. Good looks were useless!
She had a unique way of thinking.
Lu Zhen's eyes sparkled as she sized him up. Her admiration was obvious.
Li Ruolan coughed. "Alright, Junior Brother Zhao, you may leave. I'll talk to Senior Sister Lu."
Chu Li fist saluted and left.
Lu Zhen watched Chu Li leave before looking away reluctantly.
"My eyeballs are going to fall out!" Li Ruolan said.
Lu Zhen looked at Li Ruolan. "Junior Sister Li, you're so lucky to have met such a person!"
"He has a bad temper." Li Ruolan shook her head. "He pisses me off. I really don't know if he's the guide or if I'm the guide!"
"It's inevitable that he's arrogant. He has the right to throw a tantrum!" Lu Zhen said, "You let go of such a good man and fell for Senior Brother Ji. You're really …"
"What nonsense!" Li Ruolan rolled her eyes.
Lu Zhen said, "Zhao Dahe is a hundred times stronger than him. Ji Xin's martial arts is ordinary and he's narrow-minded. You'll suffer if you follow him. If you don't listen to me, you'll suffer sooner or later!"
"Senior Brother Ji is a patrol too. He's not bad," Li Ruolan said.
Lu Zhen pouted and did not say anything else.
"Senior Sister Lu, your thoughts are too extreme," Li Ruolan said.
She understood why Lu Zhen had such thoughts.
Lu Zhen's parents were disciples of the Holy Church. Her father died in a war and her mother was crippled. Although she stayed in the Great Light Peak, she was still inferior to others and had to suffer.
That was why Lu Zhen had been longing for a strong man to rely on since she was young. That way, she wouldn't have to struggle in this world.
But Lu Zhen herself was very strong, she practiced martial art with all her might. Her aptitude was also very high, so her martial art skill was far superior to his. Among the younger generation of male disciples in the Cult, no one could beat her.
The reason why she was only a patrol was because she was focused on cultivation. She was always in closed-door cultivation and rarely left the mountain to perform meritorious deeds. Otherwise, the position of Altar Master would be within reach.
Being crippled this time was a huge blow to her. It was definitely not as light as it seemed on the surface.

When Chu Li arrived at the main hall, it was bustling with noise and laughter. It was extremely harmonious.
The Holy Church of Light's spirit pills were very sincere, so the other three sects were very happy.
Bai Feng was dressed in a white robe with a white veil covering her peerlessly beautiful face. She was sitting in an armchair with a young woman. Her eyes were clear and cold, and she was out of tune with the laughter around her.
Mo Qianjun sat in the main seat. Below him were two middle-aged men from the White Tiger Sect and two middle-aged men from the Flaming Sun Sect.
Chu Li could tell their identities from the heart technique they cultivated. The masters from the White Tiger Sect and the Flaming Sun Sect were all extraordinary. They had reached the level of an elder and were inferior to Mo Qianjun.
When he stepped into the main hall, he attracted everyone's attention.
Bai Feng was surprised. "Young Master Zhao!"
Chu Li gave a fist salute and smiled. "Greetings, Senior Bai."
Bai Feng asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you just become an inner mountain disciple not long ago? "
She knew the Holy Church of Light's rules. Disciples who entered the peak were not allowed to leave the mountain for the first year and had to focus on cultivation.
Chu Li smiled. "I've accumulated enough meritorious deeds, so I can leave the mountain and increase my experience."
"I see. It's not difficult for you to do so with your abilities." Bai Feng nodded. "Don't forget to go back to Gale City."
"Miss Bai, this is?" A middle-aged man from the White Tiger Sect asked.
Bai Feng glanced at him. "Jing Guinian, he's Zhao Dahe."
"Zhao Dahe!" Jing Guinian's expression darkened as he stared at him. "You're Zhao Dahe?"
Chu Li's expression darkened as well. It was completely different from how he treated Bai Feng. He nodded proudly. "I'm Zhao Dahe. Have I offended you?"
"I'm Jing Guinian from the White Tiger Sect!"
"So you're from the White Tiger Sect. No wonder!" Chu Li said proudly. "What do you have to say?"
"We've heard that your Light Blade is powerful, Zhao Dajiang. We'd like to learn a thing or two from you!" Jing Guinian scoffed.
Chu Li spat out, "You're courting death!"
"Brother Jing!" Mo Qianjun coughed softly and hurriedly said with a smile, "Now is not the time to spar. After this big battle, I will definitely not stop you from sparring with Zhao Dahe. We need to work together now, don't you think?"
"Fine, I'll let him go for the time being out of respect for you, Brother Mo!" Jing Guinian nodded and scoffed. "Zhao Dahe, just you wait!"
Chu Li glanced at him and did not say anything else.
Bai Feng shook her head. "Ignore him. He's crazy!"
Jing Guinian glared at Bai Feng but did not say anything.
Chu Li smiled at Bai Feng and took a deep breath. "Where's Yue Ru?"
"Yue Ru …" Bai Feng shook her head and sighed.
Chu Li's expression tensed up. "She didn't follow us, did she?"
"No." Bai Feng replied, "She's still in isolated cultivation. Her progress isn't going well, so she can't afford to be distracted."
Chu Li let out a long sigh. "It's good that Yue Ru didn't come."
"Her martial arts isn't at this level yet. She'll die if she comes." Bai Feng nodded and frowned. It was obvious that she was reminded of her fellow disciple's death.
Mo Qianjun quickly said, "Zhao Dajiang encountered Monk Zhi Shan on his way to Falling Autumn City!"
The main hall fell silent. Everyone's eyes flickered as they looked at Chu Li.
Mo Qianjun said, "In the end, Zhao Dahe escaped from Monk Zhi Shan."
Jing Guinian glanced at Chu Li. "Altar Leader Mo, do you believe that? You've been tricked! "
Chu Li sneered and glanced at him before looking away. He was too lazy to refute him.
Jing Guinian was furious. He sneered. "What, am I right?"
Bai Feng said, "Jing Guinian, can you stop for a while?"
"Miss Bai, do you believe what Zhao Dahe said?" Jing Guinian asked. "How could he escape from Monk Zhi Shan? Could it be that he's working for the Reincarnation Temple? "
Bai Feng narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "I wouldn't believe anyone else, but I believe Young Master Zhao!"
"With his current cultivation level, can he defeat Monk Zhi Shan? It doesn't matter how powerful the Light Blade is! "Jing Guinian scoffed." Moreover, Monk Zhi Shan is good at dodging hidden weapons. The Light Blade might not work! "
Chu Li nodded. "He can indeed dodge the Light Blade."
"That's not it!" Jing Guinian became energetic and quickly said, "What did I say? You can't even last two rounds against Monk Zhi Shan! "
Everyone remained silent and looked at Chu Li with inquiring eyes.
