Lu Yushu and Ji Ruyu returned to his courtyard.
He asked Ji Ruyu to quickly change her clothes and put on her veil. They wanted to go out and get some fresh air. After being nervous for so many days, they finally felt relieved. They had passed the test of his little sister.
All this while, Lu Yurong had not returned to the Residence. Over at the Fairy's Capital, Lu Yushu was on tenterhooks.
Ji Ruyu could hide it from his eldest brother, but she could not hide it from his shrewd, powerful, and intelligent younger sister. If his younger sister found out, she would forcefully ask Ji Ruyu to leave, and he would be helpless.
In the Public House, the one who had the most influence was not Eldest Brother or Father, but Youngest Sister.
Big Brother and Father's thoughts could be changed with just a few words from Little Sister. Once Little Sister said it, even if Father and Big Brother objected, they would still do as she said.
The matter between him and Ji Ruyu would ultimately depend on his little sister. As long as his little sister didn't object, his father and big brother wouldn't object either. If his little sister didn't agree, then his father and big brother wouldn't agree either.
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that he would be able to pass the test so easily. Not only did he agree to the two of them, they even wanted to help him.
This good news made him unable to restrain his excitement. He needed to celebrate.
Ji Ruyu said with a smile, "Isn't it too dangerous for us to go out now? What if we meet someone we know … "
"Where did all these acquaintances come from?" Lu Yushu waved his hand nonchalantly. "This is Green Mountain Town, not just anyone can sneak in. There won't be any disciples of the Holy Church of Light here, don't worry!"
"Is it really okay?" Ji Ruyu hesitated.
Lu Yushu said, "Besides, you're still wearing a veil, just don't take it off when we're at the restaurant."
"… Alright." Ji Ruyu also felt stuffy. It was time for her to go out and get some fresh air.
Moreover, they had already come up with a plan to fake their deaths. Even if they were discovered, it wouldn't matter. They could just fake their deaths and escape.
The two of them dressed up. Ji Ruyu wore a white veil and a pink gown. She looked graceful and graceful, as if she was a woman who did not know martial arts. She walked out of the Public House with Lu Yu Shu.
The two of them went shopping and decided to go to the Mountain Beyond Mountain Restaurant for lunch and play to their heart's content.
As Chu Li and Lu Yurong were haggling over the price, a beautiful maid fluttered over, "My Lady, Second Young Master and Miss Ji have left the residence."
"This second brother!" Lu Yurong shook her head and said, "He's really impatient!"
Chu Li asked, "Isn't he afraid of running into disciples of the Holy Church of Light?"
"Why would he consider so much when doing things? He's reckless and impulsive!" Lu Yurong said helplessly, "Fine, let them be. They won't be that unlucky to run into a disciple of the Holy Church of Light the moment they step out."
Chu Li smiled. "If there's really a disciple of the Holy Church of Light, we can make her fake her death. Do you have any ideas?"
"I have a secret medicine." Lu Yurong said lightly, "It can make people die for a day and then come back to life."
Chu Li's interest was piqued. "There's such a secret medicine?"
Lu Yurong said, "The spiritual herb used to make this secret medicine is extinct. It's extremely precious. Don't even think about it!"
Chu Li said, "I'll repay this favor with this secret medicine!"
"What do you want this for?" Lu Yurong frowned.
Chu Li said, "If the Second Lady really doesn't want to stay in the Imperial Residence of King An, she can use this to escape."
"You trust me?" Lu Yurong asked.
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "I trust you the most."
Lu Yurong rolled her eyes at him. "Looks like you can still use the Sky-Stealing Sun-Shifting Technique!"
She immediately guessed the reason why Chu Li dared to use this. It was not because he trusted her, but because he had confidence in his Sky-Stealing Sun-Shifting Technique.
Chu Li sighed. "I guess I only have one last chance left."
Lu Yurong suddenly smiled like a flower. It was dazzling. "I'll give you another piece of news. Don't even think about becoming an Enlightened Master. Heaven's will cannot be disobeyed. It's said that Enlightened Masters are related to heaven's will. Using the Sky-Stealing Sun-Shifting Technique is going against heaven's will!"
Chu Li frowned as he looked at her.
Lu Yurong said, "This is my guess, but it's very likely!"
"Heaven's will …" Chu Li frowned. "Could it be that heaven's will decides who the Enlightened Masters belong to?"
"More or less. Otherwise, why would there only be two Enlightened Masters in a country? The Emperor and the one with the best martial arts will naturally become Enlightened Masters. No matter how hard the others try to train, they won't be able to become Enlightened Masters. "Lu Yurong nodded.
Chu Li said, "Before the spirit beasts enter the Hundred-Thousand Hills, can there be more than one Enlightened Master?"
"The world of the spirit beasts is different from the world of mortals," Lu Yurong said. "In the world of mortals, it's to become an Enlightened Master. In the world of the spirit beasts, it's to become an Enlightened Master. That's why many Grandmasters enter the Hundred-Thousand Hills every year."
"Were there any successful ones?" Chu Li asked.
Lu Yurong said, "Even if they become Enlightened Masters, they can't escape the Hundred-Thousand Hills. The powerhouses among the spirit beasts are stronger than the Enlightened Masters … But there were two who managed to escape."
Chu Li's expression changed. "Can they really become Enlightened Masters in the Hundred-Thousand Hills?"
"Yes." Lu Yurong nodded. "But they have to escape from the spirit beasts first. It's a narrow escape."
Chu Li asked, "What happened after they escaped?"
"After that, they lived in seclusion and there's no news of them. One of them is from the Amethyst Mountain and the other is from the Green Deer Cliff." Lu Yurong shook her head. "Enlightened Masters can't simply attack those who are not Enlightened Masters. Otherwise, they will be punished by the heavens. That's why Enlightened Masters rarely show themselves and rarely fight."
Chu Li laughed. "What does it feel like to be an Enlightened Master? You can't be free and you're even more restricted. "
Lu Yurong said, "The dignity of Enlightened Masters cannot be violated. If you offend them and kill them, there will be no punishment from the heavens. If you don't offend them and kill for no reason, there will be punishment from the heavens. The will of the heavens cannot be concealed. It's fair and just."
Chu Li slowly nodded.
Lu Yurong said, "Think about what you've done. How many people have you saved from the dead. These are all debts. It'll be difficult for you to become an Enlightened Master."
"What if I become the world's first?" Chu Li asked.
"Probably not." Lu Yurong shook her head and smiled. "Maybe the second world's first will become an Enlightened Master."
"Does that mean I can't save people anymore?" Chu Li frowned.
"Save those you can but it's better not to save those who are already dead." Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li sighed. "Looks like I really have no hope of becoming an Enlightened Master."
If he wanted to save people, he would not care if they were dead or not.
"Then you can only go against the heavens." Lu Yurong said, "Enter the Hundred-Thousand Hills. But to become an Enlightened Master in the Hundred-Thousand Hills, you need to cultivate your martial arts to perfection. It seems like no one has been able to cultivate martial arts to perfection for more than a thousand years."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Lu Yurong said, "There are two sources of martial arts in the world. One is the martial arts passed down from the Grandmaster and the other is the martial arts evolved from the spirit beasts. Cultivate the martial arts of the Grandmaster to perfection and become an Enlightened Master. Then you can directly ascend to the Grandmaster and cannot stay in this world. Cultivate the martial arts of the spirit beasts to perfection and stay in this world. You can also choose to enter the Grandmaster."
Chu Li was deep in thought. He really did not know about this.
Chu Li suddenly said, "The official disciples of the four major sects. Why are they still alive after being killed?"
Lu Yurong shook her head and sighed. "This is the biggest secret of the four major sects."
"Pretending to be profound!"
"The four major sects do not teach outsiders. How do you know?"
"How do you know?" Chu Li smiled.
Lu Yurong rolled her eyes at him. "Looks like you don't want to know!"
Chu Li quickly said, "Tell me!"
"A favor!" Lu Yurong said. "This secret is worth a favor."
