Chu Li arrived at Tianshu Courtyard and entered the house.
There was only Siao Shi in the brightly lit house. Yang Xu was taking care of Xue Ling in the house next door.
Siao Shi was lying on the bed reading a book. The blanket covered her curves. Her expression was lazy and her face was beautiful.
"Did you kill that guy?" Siao Shi put down the book and asked lazily.
Chu Li had already guessed that the Imperial House High Official would come to assassinate him. He told Siao Shi beforehand.
Siao Shi was not worried. She was just curious if Chu Li would kill Zhang Ci.
Chu Li shook his head, "I didn't succeed."
"Escaped?" Siao Shi was surprised.
Chu Li nodded, "The secret skill of the Amethyst Mountain is very powerful. I can't catch up! … He's in the Imperial House. I can't go there to kill him. The Emperor might not allow it! "
He had the All-Seeing Divine Power. Once he used it, he could find Zhang Ci immediately.
But Zhang Ci was a High Official of the Imperial House. He had always lived in the Imperial House. Even if he found him, he could not barge into the Imperial House to kill him.
Fortunately, Zhang Ci did not dare to make a sound. Even if he was a High Official, he could not kill a Secret Guardian of the Imperial House.
They both had the words Imperial House in them but they were not the same.
Siao Shi pursed her lips and smiled, "There's someone you can't kill?"
"Do you want to cultivate?" Chu Li asked.
Siao Shi was stunned. She shook her head, "No."
Chu Li said, "Although I can protect you, there are always accidents. Your own martial arts is the most reliable. The assassination skills of the Amethyst Mountain are hard to defend against."
"I'm already so old. Cultivating martial arts is a waste of energy!" Siao Shi shook her head, "If that's the case, I'd rather not know martial arts."
"I inherited Lu Yurong's martial arts." Chu Li smiled, "The Empyrean Fairy Power. Don't you want to cultivate it?"
"The Empyrean Fairy Power …" Siao Shi muttered, "I think I've heard of it somewhere."
"Lu Yurong's martial arts is powerful." Chu Li sighed, "The Empyrean Fairy Power is indeed a unique study. But there's a disadvantage. She cannot get close to men."
"Hmm …?" Siao Shi was surprised.
Chu Li said, "Lu Yurong is surrounded by women. She doesn't get close to men because she cultivated the Empyrean Fairy Power."
"There's such a wonderful use …" Siao Shi smiled and shook her head, "What would happen if I were to get close to a man?"
"I'm afraid that men will lose their lives," Chu Li said. "Extreme Yin and extreme cold, men can't withstand this."
"In other words, if I cultivate this, you won't be able to stay by my side?" Xiao Shi could not help but laugh. "You want to slack off and go back to Little Sis, right?"
Chu Li glared at her snappily.
Siao Shi pursed her lips and smiled, "I think you're up to no good."
Chu Li said, "Lady, don't worry, I'll stay here!"
Siao Shi shook her head, "I don't want to practice."
Chu Li looked at her helplessly. "Fine, if you don't want to practice, then don't."
Cultivating the Empyrean Fairy Technique had its pros and cons. Cultivating it would indeed allow one to defend oneself, but it would also change one's temperament. One would become icy cold, not as gentle as they were now.
Xiao Shi asked, "Did Lu Yurong really help?"
Chu Li smiled. "She won't wake up without benefits. She'll help lure Fa Yuan away and I'll take the opportunity to kill Meng Jian … Oh right, that senior from the Amethyst Mountain hasn't come out yet?"
"You'll have to ask Third Younger Sister about this. She contacted this senior … Their assassination skills are very good, you have to be careful, "Siao Shi said.
"Yes, Lady, you have to be careful. Xue Ling's martial arts is not enough." Chu Li frowned.
Xue Ling was now at the Innate Mastery's Boundary. She was considered an expert in the martial arts world. However, if she was placed beside the Imperial Residence and Siao Shi, it would seem like her martial arts was not enough. She could only block a few attacks at a crucial moment but would hurt herself and put herself in danger.
"How long has she been cultivating? We can't rush it," Siao Shi said.
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Xue Ling's accumulation was not enough. It was not realistic for her to break through to the Grandmaster's Boundary.
He could help Xue Ling break through to the Innate Mastery but the Grandmaster's Boundary could not help her break through directly.
After perfecting the Innate Mastery and entering the Surpassing State, he had laid a solid foundation for Xue Ling. Her strong spiritual energy had increased her comprehension. As long as she perfected the Innate Mastery, she would be able to break through smoothly.
Xue Ling's accumulation was not enough but Jiang Kuai's was.
These few days, he had been thinking about how to help Jiang Kuai find the Surpassing State so that Jiang Kuai could break through in Isolated Cultivation.
"Eldest Master's wedding is coming soon. In my opinion, we should leave tonight," Chu Li muttered. "Let Xue Ling and Yang Xu go back. We can also avoid the assassins from the Amethyst Mountain."
"Alright," Siao Shi nodded.

Early in the morning, Chu Li woke up on his own island. He slept exceptionally well.
This island was his real home. It belonged to him completely. The Imperial Residence of King An was just a guest. He really could not feel any sense of belonging.
Xue Ling had already woken up. She was slowly moving her limbs in the courtyard, cultivating the Dark Yin Palm.
As the Dark Yin Palm circulated, the extreme Yin and extreme cold inner energy circulated. Her injuries were constantly healing and her control over her body was becoming more and more smooth.
Chu Li got up and went to the courtyard, sizing her up.
"Master, I plan to go into Isolated Cultivation," said Xue Ling.
The injuries this time had greatly shocked her. It was really embarrassing and she could not help at all. If it was not for Meng Jian's anger that drove him to attack her, the Lady's life would have been in danger.
"Alright. Go into Isolated Cultivation here. When you perfected the Innate Mastery, I'll send you to the Snow Lunar Pavilion to break through to the Grandmaster's Boundary, "said Chu Li.
"Yes," Xue Ling nodded vigorously.
As Chu Li spoke, his expression suddenly changed.
Xue Ling noticed the change in his expression and did not dare to disturb him.
Chu Li suddenly disappeared and appeared on the Jade Guardian Island in the next moment.
On the stargazing tower of the Jade Guardian Island, a woman in white stood quietly in front of the window, looking down at the vast lake. Her face was white and flawless. Her eyes were clear and cold. Her pupils were like black gems, shining brightly and captivating.
Chu Li suddenly appeared.
The woman in white seemed to sense him and said, "You're here."
Chu Li took a deep breath and suppressed his turbulent thoughts. He said with difficulty, "Why did you come back?"
"Big Brother is getting married. I have to come back for a visit. We haven't seen each other for a long time." Xiao Qi slowly turned around and looked at him calmly.
Chu Li slowly said, "Long time no see."
Xiao Qi's clear eyes were as calm as the lake outside. There was not a single ripple. "The High Duke's Public House is more prosperous than before. It's all thanks to you."
"You flatter me," said Chu Li.
Xiao Qi turned around and looked at the vast lake again.
Chu Li's mind was racing. He could not stop no matter what.
He had imagined countless scenarios where the two of them would meet, but he never thought it would be at this moment, like this.
In the end, his turbulent thoughts could only be condensed into these two sentences.
He came to Xiao Qi's side. He looked at the vast lake and smelled the faint fragrance on her body. Suddenly, he felt his heart was at peace. All the restlessness in his heart had disappeared.
The stargazing tower was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Only the gentle breeze could be heard.
After a long time, Xiao Qi's clear voice was heard. "Big Brother's wedding will go smoothly, right?"
"It will." Chu Li nodded. "What should be done has been done. The martial arts factions will not dare to cause trouble. The imperial court will not act rashly either. There shouldn't be any problems."
"That's good." Xiao Qi said softly.
