Siao Shi's figure was similar to Lu Yurong's. He was holding Siao Shi's gown.
"Get out!" Lu Yurong took it and said angrily.
Chu Li coughed softly. "Then I'll go out and help you keep a lookout in case someone comes over."
"Hurry up!" Lu Yurong did not even look at him.
Chu Li shook his head. He did not want to lower himself to her level.
He floated out of the dense forest and received two horses from a soldier. He nodded in thanks.
After a while, it was still not over. He felt strange, but he still did not use the Omniscient Mirror. He handed the two horses over to the soldiers and entered the forest, only to meet Lu Yurong.
Lu Yurong had changed into a bluish-white gown. It was different from the bluish-white gown that she was originally wearing. It was simple and elegant.
She was the same as Siao Shi. Once she changed her clothes, she would have a different temperament.
Lu Yurong saw him staring at her, and she did not hide the disgust in her heart. She glared at him and walked out of the forest.
Chu Li did not mind Lu Yurong's expression of disgust. He knew that Lu Yurong liked women. He simply admired her beauty and never had any other thoughts.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard in front of them. Leng Ying and Leng Qiu were galloping over on their horses when they saw the two of them coming out from the forest.
The two of them rode their horses closer and looked at the two of them with surprise.
Chu Li glanced at Leng Qiu and Leng Ying and nodded. He took the reins from the soldier. "Why are you back?"
"Mother and the others were worried, so they asked me to come and take a look. What are you busy with?" As Leng Qiu spoke, her bright eyes darted back and forth between Chu Li and Lu Yurong, trying to figure out something.
"Cousin, why did you change your clothes?" Leng Ying asked in surprise.
She was observant and could tell that Lu Yurong was not wearing the same clothes as before.
Chu Li also copied the color of the clothes to prevent others from noticing. But he couldn't hide it from Leng Ying.
Lu Yurong blushed and scoffed, "What change of clothes? I didn't change!"
Leng Ying pointed at her willowy waist and said with a smile, "Cousin, your clothes clearly have a flower here, not this bird."
"Young? Gather? Phyllostachys lanceolata
Don't pick up Yue Yao Huang Tou Che Mo Xuan to ridicule Zheng? Stop?? Spoiled childish??? Kui She Temple? Oyster cutlet
However, Leng Ying did not follow them. Instead, she sized Chu Li up.
Chu Li smiled as he looked at Leng Ying. "Miss Ying, what can I do for you?"
"Do you like my cousin?" Leng Ying's jade-like face was taut as she snorted and asked.
Chu Li shook his head. "Miss Ying, you've misunderstood. There's no romantic relationship between us."
Leng Ying snorted, "Don't think that I don't know these things just because I'm young. Can't you see that my cousin's face is red? Why did you two go into the forest?"
Leng Qiu's eyes widened.
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "Miss Ying, you've really misunderstood. Miss Lu and I are not friends, we're rivals. We entered the forest just now to learn from each other's martial arts. After a round, why did you change your clothes? It's because I tore her clothes! "
"Hmph, it would be weird if I believed you!" Leng Ying's pretty face tensed up as she curled her lips. "Your fight is different from the fight we're talking about, right?"
"Leng Ying!" Leng Qiu called out with a red face.
Chu Li could not help but laugh as he sized up Leng Ying.
Not to be outdone, Leng Ying glared at him and scoffed, "What are you looking at! Don't think that I don't know! "
Chu Li smiled. "I didn't expect Miss Ying to know so much!"
"In short, you and my cousin are different! My big brother likes my cousin, you can't!" Leng Ying snorted.
Chu Li flipped over and got on the horse. "Why can't I?"
"My cousin and my cousin have been childhood friends and they have a good relationship. No wonder they suddenly became cold these two years. It's because of you!" Leng Ying scoffed. "You're the one who destroyed my cousin and my big brother's relationship!"
Chu Li looked at her innocent face. She looked cute even when she was angry. He smiled. "Who can decide the relationship between a man and a woman? Everyone has no choice but to do so. Your cousin is the same!"
"My cousin has really fallen for you?" Leng Ying was initially just bluffing. She was just suspicious. She felt that with her cousin's personality, she would not fall for a man so easily. She did not expect Chu Li to suddenly say such a thing.
Chu Li shook his head. "No."
Leng Ying frowned and stared at him.
If Chu Li said that he liked her, she would be suspicious. Since Chu Li said so, she believed that the two of them really had feelings for each other.
Chu Li said, "It's best that you don't tell your parents or your big brother about what happened today. Otherwise, your cousin will be put in a difficult position. You can't just not marry your big brother, right?"
"I won't hide it from my big brother and my parents!" Leng Ying scoffed.
Chu Li smiled. "Miss Ying, you should know that my Light-body Technique is not bad. If you really tell them, don't blame me for being rude!"
"How are you going to be rude?" Leng Ying scoffed.
Chu Li said, "How about I throw a worm on your bed?"
"You —!" Leng Ying was shocked.
The thought of a worm crawling on her bed made her whole body numb.
Chu Li had already activated the Omniscient Mirror. He knew that she was most afraid of worms, so he wanted to scare her. Looking at her pale face, he inexplicably wanted to laugh. It was really interesting.
Leng Qiu scoffed. "Head Chief!"
Chu Li chuckled. "Alright, alright, I was just joking. Miss Ying, please don't mind!"
"What joke?" Leng Ying hurriedly asked.
Chu Li smiled. "Don't worry, I really don't have an affair with Miss Lu. The heart technique she cultivated made her not like men, so you don't have to worry about your big brother!"
"Not like men?" It was the second time Leng Ying heard about her cousin's heart technique.
Chu Li said, "Her heart technique is strange and very overbearing. If a man gets close to her, once they touch skin to skin, he will die. The heart technique also made her instinctively hate men, just like how you hate worms. … If you want your big brother's good, don't let him get close to Lu Yurong. Otherwise, he will be asking for trouble!"
"Really?" Leng Ying frowned.
Chu Li smiled. "If you don't believe me, you can ask Lu Yurong!"
"No wonder …" Leng Ying was a little surprised.
Thinking back to the time when she interacted with her cousin, it seemed that she really did not get close to men. There were only women around her. Even her scribes and protectors did not have men. So it was because of this …
Chu Li said, "We should go too."
Leng Ying turned her head and stared at him. "You fought with my cousin, who won?"
Chu Li smiled. "What do you think?"
"… My cousin's martial arts is very powerful!" Leng Ying scoffed.
She thought about her cousin's expression and vaguely felt that her cousin might have lost. Or else her cousin would have mocked Chu Li. Her cousin's angry look earlier was probably because she really lost to Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
The three of them galloped on their horses and quickly caught up with Siao Shi and the others.
Lu Yurong was already riding side by side with Consort Lu. She did not even look at him.
Consort Lu's gaze turned to Chu Li and looked at Leng Ying as if nothing had happened.
Leng Ying came to the other side of Lu Yurong and secretly looked at her.
Lu Yurong scoffed and said in a low voice, "What did Chu Li say to you?"
"He said that you lost, cousin."
"Hmph!"
"Cousin, you really can't beat him?"
"I can't."
"Is he that powerful?"
"Tell your big brother not to provoke him!"
"… Big brother won't listen to me."
"What are you two whispering about?" Consort Lu smiled. "Watch where you're going."
"Mother, I have something to say to my cousin," Leng Ying said in a sweet voice.
"You two …" Consort Lu shook her head and laughed. She looked at Siao Shi. "Sister Siao must have seen something embarrassing."
Siao Shi smiled and glanced at Chu Li.
