PS: I've finally finished writing this chapter. Oh, I'm going crazy. The update schedule is going to be messed up. But don't worry, I'll write six chapters today even if I have to kowtow to the ground!
Yi Public House, Symphony Island
Early in the morning, the Symphony Island was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, like a veil, and the air was fresh.
Siao Shi and Siao Qi were sitting in the gazebo, holding teacups that were surrounded by white steam as they chatted.
Both of them were wearing moon-white gowns. Their faces were like white jade, and their eyebrows were somewhat similar. They were so beautiful that it was dazzling.
"Little Sister, are you not going to wait for Big Brother's wedding?"
"There are too many people here. I'm leaving today."
"Don't tell me we're leaving now?"
"After drinking tea, I will leave the mansion."
"… Not waiting for Chu Li to come back?" Siao Shi put down her teacup.
Xiao Qi gently shook her head.
Xiao Shi looked at her with a frown.
Xiao Qi said, "Second Eldest Sister, I've chosen this path. I'm destined to be alone for the rest of my life. Why should I trouble Chu Li?"
Xiao Shi was surprised. "Is your Regal Sword Scripture really that powerful? … Can you really forget Chu Li? "
"So what if I forget? So what if I can't forget?" Xiao Qi shook her head and said, "It's just like Buddhism's liberation. Once you get over it and let it go, there won't be any turbulence in your heart. You won't be too excited and worried."
"How do you feel when you see Chu Li now?" Siao Shi was curious.
She had heard from Xiao Qi about the two of them, so she knew why Chu Li always wore a white robe. She knew that Chu Li had taken the initiative to cut off his feelings for her. She felt that he was stupid and pitiful at the same time. He had fallen in love with a cold woman like her Third Younger Sister, yet they had to separate and could not be together. It was really cruel.
Xiao Qi furrowed her brows. "It's like meeting an old friend. It's very kind and warm."
"Not excited?"
"There's nothing to be excited about."
"This Regal Sword Scripture is really powerful," Siao Shi shook her head and sighed, "Let's not cultivate it, it's too torturous!"
"I don't feel like I'm being tortured. It's Chu Li who's being tortured," Xiao Qi said. "If you have time, try to persuade him. Don't waste your time on me."
"It would be weird if he could listen," Siao Shi pouted her red lips, "Do you really have to cultivate that sword scripture?"
"Mm." Xiao Qi picked up the teacup and took a sip. "It's my only hope to become an Enlightened Master."
"Sigh …" Siao Shi shook her head and said, "Why does it have to be an Enlightened Master? This is good enough."
"Fate is in the hands of others," Xiao Qi said. "Haven't we siblings suffered enough?"
When their father left, the huge Public House was only handed over to a few children. The burden and fear they carried could not be told to outsiders.
"A marriage alliance with the Huay Public House and the Imperial Residence of King An would be enough to deal with threats from others."
"Where's the Emperor?"
"The Emperor won't deal with us, right?"
"I'm the meat on someone else's chopping block. I don't like this feeling." Xiao Qi said, "Second Eldest Sister, you're in Fairy's Capital, so you can feel the Emperor's majesty even more. Your life is in his hands."
"… Alright." Xiao Shi nodded and said, "You're right, but what if you don't succeed even after cultivating for a lifetime?"
"If I can't master it by thirty, I'll give up," Xiao Qi said.
Siao Shi smiled, "There's finally hope for Chu Li!"
Xiao Qi glanced at her.
Siao Shi snapped, "Did I say something wrong? Why are you looking at me like that! "
"Second Eldest Sister, do you think Chu Li will be with me?" Xiao Qi said faintly.
"One of you is in love and the other is interested. Why won't you be together?" Siao Shi scoffed, "Stop torturing him!"
Xiao Qi shook her head gently, "Just like a mirror with a crack, there will be a crack when you put it back together."
"If there's a crack, then there's a crack. There's nothing in this world that doesn't have a crack!" Siao Shi said snappily, "Just be content. When you're thirty, even if he doesn't like you, you just have to hold on to him!"
Xiao Qi revealed a smile.
This was the difference between her and Second Eldest Sister. One was more practical while the other was more spiritual.
Chu Li suddenly appeared in the pagoda and interrupted the two women's conversation.
Xiao Shi waved her hand, "Chu Li, you came just in time. I was about to leave."
Chu Li looked at Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi nodded calmly, "I can't attend Big Brother's wedding. In case too many people see, I have to leave quietly."
"I'll send you back," Chu Li said.
Xiao Qi looked at him and slowly nodded.
Siao Shi smiled, "Then you send me back first."
"What about Prince An …?" Xiao Qi asked.
Chu Li let out a smile, "It's settled. He returned to the Imperial Residence and won't come back to cause trouble."
"How did you deal with him?" Xiao Shi quickly asked, "He won't go back obediently!"
"I sneaked an attack and crippled his martial arts, of course." Chu Li smiled.
"That's ruthless! … But it was really satisfying. I crippled his martial arts! "Xiao Shi pursed her lips and smiled," He's going crazy this time. "
Chu Li said, "Second Lady, stay here for a while longer so that he won't vent his anger on you."
"Of course." Siao Shi smiled, "I don't want to go back."
Xiao Qi frowned, "How can you be so reckless? What if the Emperor … "
"As long as you don't kill him, the Emperor won't care." Chu Li shook his head, "The Emperor treats me as Prince An's whetstone. Since I'm a whetstone, of course, I have to train him well. It'll only take him three to five years to cultivate again. It's not a big deal."
"You have to be careful." Xiao Qi muttered, "The Emperor is an Enlightened Master. He can do whatever he wants. He might not do as you think!"
"Yes, I'll be careful," Chu Li said.
Xiao Shi pursed her lips and smiled, "Alright, you guys can leave. Don't hang around me!"
Xiao Qi glanced at her faintly and then looked at Chu Li, "Send me back."
Chu Li extended his hand and held her wrist through her sleeves. He suddenly disappeared in front of Xiao Shi.
After a few flashes, Chu Li and Xiao Qi appeared in Snow Lunar Pavilion, in a waterside pavilion on the lake.
Xiao Qi frowned and looked at him, "Are you hurt?"
Chu Li said, "It's nothing serious."
"Fairy's Capital is very dangerous. Be careful. You should go back first," Xiao Qi said slowly.
Chu Li said, "You're going to go into isolated cultivation soon?"
"Yes."
"When will you come out?"
Xiao Qi said, "I'm not planning to come out. I'll stay in isolated cultivation until I become an Enlightened Master!"
Chu Li sighed and nodded, "Alright, I'm leaving."
He suddenly disappeared in front of Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi frowned and looked at where he was standing. There was still a trace of his aura in the waterside pavilion.
It was an aura that was familiar yet unfamiliar to her.
She quickly put aside her distracting thoughts and focused on thinking about the Regal Sword Scripture. If she wanted to improve, she had to understand the Regal Sword Scripture and understand its wonders.
When Chu Li returned to the Island of Symphony, Xiao Shi looked at him with a smile like a flower.
Chu Li had already sorted out his emotions.
He decided not to think about it anymore. He would think about it later. She was going into isolated cultivation anyway, so he was not in a hurry. Once he reached the Enlightened Master's Boundary, spending time with her would naturally rekindle their old feelings.
Xiao Shi shook her head and pouted her red lips. She scoffed, "You're back so soon. You're really useless!"
Chu Li said, "Second Lady, you really have nothing to worry about. You should think about Master Xiao."
"Big Brother and the others have already left. There's nothing to worry about," Xiao Shi said, "King An is not here. I don't think anyone will do anything."
Chu Li frowned, "There might be assassins along the way. Why didn't they wait for me?"
"They can handle it," Xiao Shi said, "You're also a worrywart. Just pretend you didn't come back!"
Chu Li thought about it and could only do so.
