PS: Stimulation, I need strong stimulation. I feel exhausted after writing six chapters.
Time seemed to flow backward, and everything returned to the beginning.
Xiao Qi calmly replied, "After Big Brother's wedding, I'll continue my isolated cultivation."
"He really has a chance of reaching the Heavenly God Realm?" Chu Li turned his head to look at her beautiful face. Her skin was as white as suet jade, exuding a gentle luster. Her eyes were cold and tranquil, devoid of sorrow or joy. She was even more beautiful than before, giving him a sense of familiarity and strangeness at the same time.
Siao Qi gently nodded. "I found a small path, let's give it a try."
Chu Li smiled. "Congratulations."
Xiao Qi smiled. "It's all thanks to you."
Without his Intellectual Sword Severing Threads of Emotion, her Revered Sword Scripture would not have advanced to this level, and she would not have reached her current level.
The feelings they had for each other in the past were like spring water flowing over a rock. The traces they had left behind gradually disappeared. When she faced Chu Li, she no longer felt the excitement she had before. Instead, she only felt a sense of familiarity and closeness, as if he was her family.
Chu Li smiled, but his heart was bitter and heavy.
Looking at Xiao Qi's beautiful face, he could not wait to pull her into his arms and hug her tightly.
However, the two of them were only a meter apart. He could touch her if he stretched out his hand, but he could not reach out his hand. Xiao Qi was now out of his reach.
Xiao Qi glanced at him. "Is Second Eldest Sister doing well?"
"Second Miss has returned."
"Yes, I've met her. She said she's doing well."
"King An has been cultivating in isolation."
"… We'll have to face it eventually," Xiao Qi said faintly. "How long can Second Eldest Sister hide?"
"If King An forces her too hard, the Second Lady can only disappear." Chu Li shook his head and said, "From the looks of it, Prince An doesn't have that kind of intention. He wants to kill me. His hatred towards the Second Lady isn't that deep. He still covets the Second Lady's beauty."
"If you can't stay in the Prince's Mansion, let Second Sister go to my place."
"Yes."
The two of them exchanged a few words and then fell silent again.
Chu Li felt lonely and melancholic.
Xiao Qi stood silently in front of the window and looked at the vast lake. She had mixed feelings and was overwhelmed with emotions.
After a while, Chu Li asked, "Chief Su didn't come back?"
"Yes, I came back by myself." Xiao Qi nodded. "Come and go as you please so that you don't attract too much attention."
Chu Li nodded.
The two of them fell silent again.
After a long time, Chu Li closed fist saluted. "If there's nothing else, Lady Siao Ying, I'll take my leave."
"… Okay." Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly.
Chu Li disappeared in a flash.
He appeared in a small courtyard on his island.
Xue Ling was still practicing the Dark Yin Palm. She looked at him calmly as he sat by the stone table without saying a word. His eyes were staring into the void without any focus.
She could tell that Chu Li was not in a good mood, so she did not ask any questions. Instead, she quietly practiced her Dark Yin Palm.
After a while, Chu Li sighed.
Only then did Xue Ling speak, "Master, what happened?"
"The Third Lady is back," Chu Li said.
"Third Lady is back?" Xue Ling was surprised. "Wasn't she in Isolated Cultivation?"
"It's Master Xiao Tieying's grand wedding. Of course, I have to personally come back to take a look," Chu Li said faintly. "Alright, cultivate your martial arts. Don't worry about these things."
"Yes." Xue nodded softly.
She finally understood why her Young Master looked so pale.
She vaguely knew about the relationship between the two of them, but she was not optimistic about their future. Although her Young Master was extremely intelligent and had top-notch martial arts, he was worthy of any woman. However, the Third Lady was different.
The Third Lady's temperament made it impossible for her to get close to others. She was indifferent and quiet. It was as if she did not belong to this world and was aloof from it.
It was as if she was born to not belong to anyone. She did not belong to any man, even if the man was her Young Master.
Chu Li could see Xiao Qi through the Omniscient Mirror.
She stood quietly in front of the window. Her bright eyes flickered as she stared at the lake, lost in thought.
He could not feel what she was thinking. The Regal Sword Scripture was exquisite. She had a power similar to Chu Li, just like Lu Yurong. He could not see through her thoughts.
He suddenly shook his head and smiled.
He knew Xiao Qi well enough. This time, he suddenly felt that things were not as bad as he thought. The Regal Sword Scripture did not erase her memory. It only smoothed out her palpitations.
The past was still in her mind. It was not difficult to win her heart again. After all, there were feelings from before. It was not difficult to rekindle old feelings.
However, he was not in a hurry to rekindle old feelings. If he teased her now, he would be hindering her cultivation. When she cultivated to become an Enlightened Master and he became an Enlightened Master, it would not be too late to rekindle old feelings.
As he thought about this, he was even more eager to become an Enlightened Master. The Omniscient Mirror immediately activated and suppressed this urgency and burning desire. More haste, less speed. The path to becoming an Enlightened Master required enough patience and luck. It could not be rushed.

In the evening, Chu Li arrived at the Island of Symphony.
The Island of Symphony was bustling with activity. Maids came and went busily. The sunset covered the Island of Symphony with a layer of light, making it look even more magnificent.
In the gazebo in the middle of the sea of flowers, Xiao Shi sat in front of a low table and played the guzheng.
As soon as Chu Li appeared, the music stopped.
Xiao Shi turned to look at Chu Li, "Have you seen little sister?"
Chu Li nodded.
A smile appeared on Xiao Shi's beautiful face, "Little sister became prettier, didn't she?"
"… Yes," Chu Li said slowly.
Perhaps it was because of her stronger martial arts, or because of the Regal Sword Scripture, Xiao Qi did become more beautiful.
Xiao Shi said, "She also became gentler."
"Yes," Chu Li said.
Xiao Qi did not seem cold like before because she was detached from the world. She looked on coldly from the sidelines and had no worries. That was why she could be calm and gentle. Nothing could move her heart.
Xiao Shi pursed her lips and smiled, "Little sister became better, are you not happy?"
"Hehe, I'm happy," Chu Li forced a smile.
"Sigh …" Xiao Shi shook her head and sighed, "She still treats you differently from others."
"Yes," Chu Li nodded slowly.
Xiao Shi tilted her head and looked at him. She giggled.
Chu Li said impatiently, "My Lady, you asked me to come here just to make fun of me, right?"
"I wanted to help you!" Xiao Shi held back her laughter. Her beautiful face became even more beautiful and rosy, "I'll give you some ideas!"
"Thank you, but there's no need," Chu Li quickly said.
Xiao Shi smiled, "I've chatted with little sister. She still admires you a lot."
"My Lady, you don't have to worry about it," Chu Li waved his hand and said, "I'll handle it."
"Hmph, how are you going to handle it?" Xiao Shi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Little sister is going back soon. She'll leave after one look. If you miss the chance, when will you see her again? No matter how good the relationship is, it will fade after a long time! "
"If I want to see her, I can go anytime."
"What's the point of you going?" Xiao Shi said impatiently, "Little sister is going back to isolated cultivation. She won't see outsiders."
Chu Li shook his head.
Xiao Shi scoffed, "You really don't need my help?"
"I really don't," Chu Li said, "If you have the intention, think about how to deal with King An!"
"Him —?" Xiao Shi said in disdain, "He's a dead man. What's there to deal with?"
"You underestimate King An!" Chu Li said, "He's planning to cause trouble!"
"Hmm —?" Xiao Shi's eyes widened.
Chu Li said, "He'll come out of isolated cultivation and attend the wedding!"
"What's his intention?" Xiao Shi frowned, "Is he trying to overtake the host?"
"Yes, he's trying to make us unhappy." Chu Li shook his head and sighed, "He's purposely making us uncomfortable!"
