Chu Li waited for Chen Ying to calm down. He patted her back and said gently, "Alright, it was a close shave. Let's go back!"
"Master, it's all my fault!" Chen Ying left his embrace and wiped her tears. Her beautiful eyes were already red and swollen, "I didn't take this bastard seriously. I was too careless!"
Chu Li said, "There are very few people like him. How can we guard against them? We can only blame our bad luck."
"Master, I want to practice martial arts!" Her red and swollen eyes stared at Chu Li, "Master, I don't want to live in fear anymore!"
"Practice martial arts …" Chu Li pondered and nodded slowly, "Alright, I will think of a way. You guys don't have a foundation. If you want to practice martial arts, you have to start from scratch. You might not become a master even after many years of practice!"
"You still have to practice!" Chen Ying gritted her teeth.
Chu Li said, "Then practice. Although it's a little late, it's better than not practicing at all."
Zhao Ying entered the house and heard this. She sighed, "Sister Chen, to practice martial arts, you must first build your foundation, between the ages of eight to eighteen. After that, it might take twenty or even thirty years!"
"… Then I want to practice too!" Chen Ying said.
Zhao Ying hesitated, "Until fifty years old, you'll still be a beginner martial artist. By then …"
Moreover, she was just a beginner and could not be considered a master. It was really unnecessary. She could not bear to let Chen Ying waste her time.
Chu Li said, "If you want to practice, then practice. Sister, let's go."
"Why is no one here yet?" Zhao Ying asked curiously.
He killed Feng Wen with one slash but it caused quite a commotion. Yet, no one came to see.
Chu Li scoffed, "Let's go!"
Feng Wen had told them not to come no matter how big the commotion was. It was not the first time he did this. He had harmed women before. So, Chu Li did not hesitate to kill him. This kind of scum deserved to die.
Feng Wen's father, Feng Shi Cai, was an innate master from the Blue Parasol Faction. His swordsmanship was outstanding. He was usually chivalrous and had a good reputation in the martial arts world.
Unfortunately, it was inevitable that a man's wife would not be virtuous and his son would not be filial. Feng Wen had caused a lot of trouble. Because of Feng Shi Cai, everyone let him off. Instead, he became even more unscrupulous.
Thinking of this, Chu Li shook his head. He held Zhao Ying in his left hand and Chen Ying in his right. He fluttered away and silently left the manor.
Zhao Ying felt a warm current flowing through her body from the hand on her waist, causing her body to soften and go numb. She lost control of her body.
She tensed up and held her breath, her heart pounding.
Chen Ying was hugged by Chu Li, but she felt as if she was wrapped in warmth and security, isolated from the world. She was no longer afraid of danger and pain. She wished she could stay like this forever!
Chu Li left the Manor and sped up.
Zhao Ying whispered, "Senior Apprentice-Brother, there's no need to be so fast."
Chu Li shook his head.
Zhao Ying looked up. The moonlight shone on his face like water. His expression was solemn.
Zhao Ying asked in a low voice, "Senior Brother, what's the matter?"
She felt that there was something wrong with Chu Li's expression and behavior. Perhaps there was something that she did not know.
"Hmm, it's a little troublesome!" Chu Li suddenly stopped.
They happened to be in a wood.
Chu Li put the two girls down and said in a low voice, "Sister, bring Chen Ying back first!"
"Senior Apprentice-Brother, what's wrong?" Zhao Ying quickly asked.
Chu Li smiled, "I suddenly remembered that there's something that I haven't settled yet. I'll go back first!"
"What is it?" Zhao Ying asked.
Chu Li waved his hand, "I'll tell you when I get back. Bring Chen Ying back as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble!"
"… Alright." Zhao Ying looked at his determined expression and said helplessly, "Senior Apprentice-Brother, be careful."
Chu Li smiled at them and leaped away. After a while, a long howl was heard from afar.
Zhao Ying was walking back with Chen Ying. When she heard the howl, she felt that it was Chu Li's. She felt that something was wrong.
"Is that Master's voice?" Chen Ying asked, "Is he in trouble?"
Zhao Ying frowned and shook her head.
Her senior apprentice-brother was a top-notch innate master. He was the youth champion of the Public House. Even if he encountered an innate master, he would be able to escape safely.
Chen Ying was not too worried. She also felt that Chu Li was omnipotent.
Zhao Ying was still a little worried. She sped up.
She sent Chen Ying back to the Manor in the town and turned around to go back. Based on her senior apprentice-brother's speed, he should have arrived first. Since he had not arrived yet, he might have encountered some trouble.
Just as she passed by the forest, she heard a muffled sound.
She followed the direction of the sound quietly.
The moonlight shone into the forest like water.
Four people were fighting in the forest. Only the muffled sound could be heard. It was as if a giant tree was hitting the wall. Wherever the four people passed, the trees were broken. Mud and grass flew everywhere. It was as if a giant beast was passing by.
Zhao Ying's eyes suddenly widened. The person who was surrounded by the three people was Chu Li.
The three people in black had their heads and faces covered. Only their cold eyes could be seen. They were cold and indifferent as if they did not have human emotions. Zhao Ying's heart tightened. She felt an inexplicable chill in her heart.
Chu Li was surrounded by three people. He abandoned his sword and used his palms. This made Zhao Ying's heart tighten.
Chu Li's palms looked like they were smeared with gold powder. He kept hitting the people in black. Muffled sounds could be heard. The people in black did not seem to feel anything and continued to attack.
At the same time when Chu Li hit the three people, he was also hit by the three people. His body was constantly hit by fists and palms. Two of the three people in black used fists and one used palms. Their fists and palms were also golden like Chu Li's.
Zhao Ying immediately understood. They were from the Tempest Temple! They were here to kill Brother Chu Li!
She pursed her lips and moved quietly. She knew that if she was exposed, it would cause Brother Chu Li to be nervous and distracted. He was in a bad situation now. If he was distracted, he would be in danger!
She hated herself for being useless. She could not help at all. If she went out, she would only be a burden!
Her mind was working quickly. She wanted to run out and help, but her rationality restrained her impulses. She saw that Chu Li was in a bad situation, but he was unusually tenacious. He could hold on for a while.
She turned around and left carefully. Once she was out of the forest, she used her Light-body Technique to its limit. She ran back to the Public House and went straight to the Jade Guardian Island.
She was twenty meters away from the Jade Guardian Island. Four middle-aged Protectors appeared on the shore and looked at her coldly.
Zhao Ying was anxious. Every moment could be related to Brother Chu Li's life. She raised her voice and said, "I am rank seven Protector Zhao Ying. I have an urgent matter to report to the Third Lady!"
"The Third Lady is already asleep. If there's anything, we can talk about it tomorrow!" A middle-aged Protector said coldly.
"A human life is at stake. Please make an exception!" Zhao Ying said loudly. "It's about Brother Chu Li's life in the East Garden!"
"Wait!" The middle-aged Protector's face changed. He turned around and left.
