Murong Liang gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe that he's that cunning!"
Murong Chun looked at him.
Murong Liang said, "I think he did it on impulse!"
"Hehe …" Murong Chun chuckled and nodded. "Hmm, you're right. Maybe he was just being impulsive. He's not as strong as we think he is. So, don't think too much about it. Just focus on recuperating and cultivating from the beginning."
Murong Liang gritted his teeth. "Father, I really can't accept this. I want to cripple his martial arts too!"
"Mm, no problem." Murong Chun nodded. "As long as you can do it, crippling his martial arts is nothing."
"But …" Murong Liang frowned.
Murong Chun said, "I'm not going to help you with this. If you want to cripple his martial arts, you'll have to train hard on your own. Once you've mastered your martial arts, you can do whatever you want to him!"
"… Yes!" Murong Liang nodded helplessly. He knew that it was useless to say anything more.
He looked at Murong Chun and said unwillingly, "Father, aren't you going to uphold justice for me?"
Murong Chun patted his shoulder and said gently, "I'll help you. However, you'll have to take revenge on your own. You're already a man. You can't rely on an old man like me for everything. You should work hard on your own!"
"… Yes," Murong Liang said slowly.
Murong Chun waved his hand and two maids came over to help Murong Liang into the house.
He paced around the courtyard with his hands clasped behind his back. The moonlight was like water, shining on his uncertain face.

Qiao San widened his eyes and looked at Chu Li anxiously.
Chu Li sat on the recliner in the courtyard and lazily rocked back and forth. The lights in the courtyard were as bright as day.
Qiao San's expression was clear. "Young Master, you are too rash!" he said anxiously.
"Hmm?" Chu Li glanced at him.
Qiao San's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly smiled. "It's my mistake, please forgive me, Young Master!"
Chu Li scoffed.
Qiao San continued, "Young Lord, that's Elder Murong's son. Crippling him is equivalent to slapping Elder Murong in the face. How can he take this lying down?"
"You can't take this lying down?" Chu Li smiled faintly. "So what?"
"Elder Murong must do it," Qiao San said.
Chu Li said, "Isn't that perfect? Everything will be fine once I defeat Murong Chun! "
"This … this …" Qiao San was dumbfounded and speechless.
The Young Master's martial arts were profound, but compared to Elder Murong, he was still lacking. Elder Murong was also a genius, and he had cultivated for so long. The Young Master had only cultivated for five to six years, which was ten times less!
Chu Li calmly said, "Alright, I can't be bothered to listen to you. Gather? Morus arundinacea
"Young Master, what if Elder Murong comes to seek justice? What should we do?" Qiao San sighed.
"I don't want to repeat myself." Chu Li stretched out his finger lazily and pointed outside. "Scram!"
"Young Master …"
"If you don't leave now, I'll make a move!" Chu Li scoffed.
"… Yes." Qiao San sighed and shook his head as he left the courtyard.
Chu Li saw him shaking his head at the door, so he shook his head as well.
Qiao San was loyal, but unfortunately, he was cold-blooded and heartless. He was only loyal to Zhuge Tian, which was strange.

The next morning, Chu Li returned from the Tianshu Courtyard and appeared in the courtyard of Crouching Bull Mountain.
The Fairy's Capital was quiet. Ever since the Secret Guardians Hall spoke, no one dared to cause trouble for him.
The scariest thing about the Secret Guardians Hall was that they had eyes everywhere. Even if he obtained the secret manual, the Secret Guardians Hall would still find out about it. If the secret was leaked, people would come looking for him everywhere and kill him to steal the secret manual.
With such concerns, people started to hesitate and wonder if it was worth it.
He practiced the Cloud Slashing Sword Technique in the courtyard for a while and improved a lot.
The key to the Cloud Slashing Sword Technique was not the sword force, but the circulation of the heart technique. As long as the heart technique could keep up, the sword would be extremely fast. The faster the heart technique, the faster the sword.
Chu Li's spirit was strong, and the speed of his heart technique was much faster than Zhuge Tian's. The Cloud Slashing Sword Technique was even more powerful in his hands.
Qiao San was already standing outside the door, listening to the movements in the courtyard. When he heard the sound of training, he stood still.
Chu Li did not bother and continued to practice his sword technique.
An hour later, Qiao San knocked on the door. "Young Master! Young Master! "
Chu Li said, "Come in!"
Qiao San pushed the door open and entered. His expression changed. "Young Master, this is bad. Elder Murong is here!"
"Let him be." Chu Li was still waving his sword, but his sword force slowed down.
Qiao San paced back and forth anxiously. "If they really fight …"
Chu Li did not bother to say more.
Footsteps were heard, followed by laughter. "Young Master, we're sorry to disturb you!"
Chu Li did not stop waving his sword. He glanced at the six people who entered.
The leader, Murong Chun, had a sharp face and was as skinny as a hemp stick. His eyes were bright, but he did not give off the impression that he was weak. It was as if his skinny body contained unparalleled strength that made people feel threatened.
Behind him were four elders and a middle-aged man. They were all top-notch Grandmasters. The top-notch Masters of Crouching Bull Mountain were here.
Murong Chun did not mind Chu Li's coldness. He closed fist saluted. "Young Master, I'm here to apologize!"
Chu Li said, "What crime did Elder Murong commit?"
"It's the father's fault for not teaching his son properly. My son offended you yesterday. I hope you won't take it to heart, Young Master." Murong Chun closed fist saluted and smiled. "This kid did not respect his seniority. He was crippled of his martial arts by you. He asked for it!"
Chu Li was still waving his sword. He said, "Elder Murong, do you really think so?"
"Of course!" Murong Chun smiled. "The hill master is in isolated cultivation. Young Master, you're alone. If you don't take good care of me and something happens to you, I won't be able to face the hill master. Not only did my son not understand my intentions, he even fought with you out of pride. He deserves to die!"
Chu Li kept his sword and sized him up. He said lazily, "Fought out of pride? Elder Murong, do you think it's just a fight out of pride? "
"Am I wrong?" Murong Chun said respectfully. "Is there something else that you're hiding? Please enlighten me, Young Master. "
"I wouldn't dare to enlighten you." Chu Li smiled. "Elder Murong is very powerful. I wouldn't dare to speak carelessly!"
"What do you mean by that?" Murong Chun said with a straight face. "I'm loyal to the hill master. I wouldn't dare to disrespect you, Young Master. No matter how powerful I am, I'm only doing it for the sake of the sect. I don't care how many people I offend!"
He glanced at Qiao San. "Young Master, please don't listen to me!"
Chu Li said, "You want to kill Qiao San?"
Murong Chun chuckled. "Young Master, you're already an adult. You can't be lazy anymore. I can't always be in charge of the sect's affairs. Young Master, you should prepare to inherit the hill master's mantle and start handling the sect's affairs. You need someone smarter and more capable to serve you. As for Qiao San, he's been serving you for many years. Even if he doesn't contribute much, he's still worked hard. It's time for him to take a break and enjoy the happiness of a family!"
