Qiao San was startled and shook his head. "The hill master said that you have committed many evil deeds and as a disciple of Crouching Bull Mountain, you deserve to die. However, since you are of a different status, he will spare your life. However, you will have to leave Crouching Bull Mountain to fend for yourself."
Chu Li scoffed. "If I hand over the secret manual, will he still chase me out?"
"This …" Qiao San thought for a while and shook his head. "The hill master did not mention anything about the secret manual. He only said that he wants to chase you out of Crouching Bull Mountain."
"Alright, let's kick him out then." Chu Li did not care. "That saves me a lot of trouble. I was just thinking of leaving the mountain to experience the prosperity of the world!"
"Young Master! Are you going to abandon Madam's foundation?" Qiao San asked.
"It's just Crouching Bull Mountain, it's not one of the four major sects. Don't take it too seriously!" Chu Li waved his hand.
"Young Master! Crouching Bull Mountain has thousands of years of heritage. As long as you take over as the hill master and work hard, you will be able to bring glory to Crouching Bull Mountain with your extraordinary martial arts. You will be able to stand on the same level as the Tempest Temple and the other three major sects! "Qiao San's face darkened.
Chu Li chuckled. "Qiao San, you're really ambitious!"
"This is Madam's ambition." Qiao San was emotional. "Madam is a woman. Unfortunately, the heavens are jealous of her beauty and did not let her live. Otherwise, Crouching Bull Mountain would not be what it is today. It would be on par with the four major sects!"
"Stop dreaming!" Chu Li said. "No matter how capable my mother is, she would not be able to reach the level of the four major sects. They have thousands of years of heritage! Since this place does not want me around, I will leave. You can stay. "
"Young Master, who will serve you if I stay?" Qiao San asked.
"I am not that fragile. I will not starve if no one serves me. Help me pack up. I will leave immediately. It will not look good if someone chases me out later! "Chu Li waved his hand.
"I will plead with the hill master. For Madam's sake, he will not treat Young Master like this!" Qiao San said.
Chu Li snickered. "You're really naive. If he cared about that, would he have done something like this? You should be careful after I leave. He's after the secret manual!"
"Young Master, I'll go with you!" Qiao San quickly said.
Chu Li waved his hand. "There's no need for that. Stay here and gather information. I'll be back once every half a month."
Qiao San was overjoyed. "Young Lord, you still care about Crouching Bull Mountain!"
Chu Li said, "If he wants to expel me from the mountain, should I just obediently let him go? I'm just taking the opportunity to go out for a spin. When that old fart is about to die, I'll come back and take back my foundation! "
Qiao San hurriedly said, "The Hill Master is in a fit of anger and will regret it in a few days. I will take the opportunity to persuade him."
"Don't try to persuade them. Murong Chun and the others will do it." Chu Li waved his hand and said, "Just stay here obediently and don't make any mistakes. If they catch you, they will use the opportunity to interrogate you about the secret manual!"
"Yes." Qiao San's expression turned serious.
"Pack up!" Chu Li waved his hand.
Qiao San hurriedly went to tidy up.

Zhuge Feng, Murong Chun, Xia Liyan, and the other elders arrived at Chu Li's courtyard. They pushed the door open and saw Qiao San tidying up the courtyard.
"Hill Master!" Qiao San quickly came over and bowed respectfully. He was very careful so that no one would be able to use him against him.
Zhuge Feng said coldly, "Where's that bastard?"
"The Young Lord has already left the mountain," Qiao San replied respectfully.
"Left the mountain?" Zhuge Feng scoffed.
"The Young Lord heard that he was about to be expelled from Crouching Bull Mountain, so he left first. He said that there was no need for you to send him off," Qiao San said carefully.
"Bang!" Zhuge Feng slammed his palm on the stone table.
A clear palm print was imprinted on the table. It was about an inch deep and had a neat edge.
Everyone sighed. The father and son were fighting each other head-on. Their conflict had escalated to this point in less than half a day.
Qiao San was shocked and quickly lowered his head.
"What else does that bastard have to say?" Zhuge Feng said coldly.
Qiao San said carefully, "The Young Lord said that it's better for you to give up on the secret manual. It's an evil technique that causes people to lose their minds and do evil things. The Young Lord has already destroyed it and will not pass it on to anyone else!"
Zhuge Feng's expression changed.
Murong Chun and the rest's expressions changed as well. They lowered their heads so that no one could see the change in their expressions.
Chu Li's words were like a slap to their faces. Everyone felt their faces burning. The Young Lord was indeed smart to be able to see through people's intentions.
Qiao San said, "The Young Lord also said that he doesn't care about being the leader of Crouching Bull Mountain. Even if he was asked, he wouldn't agree."
"Good, this bastard has some self-awareness." Zhuge Feng laughed coldly.
Qiao San remained silent.
"Let's go back!" Zhuge Feng turned around and walked back.
Murong Chun looked at Qiao San.
Qiao San showed a helpless expression, indicating that he did not manage to persuade the Young Lord.

As the sun set, the Snow Lunar Pavilion looked like a huge piece of red silk. The lake water swayed gently as if the silk was shaking.
In a gazebo on the lake, Shen Yinghu was dressed in green. Her skin was as white as snow and her face was as beautiful as a painting.
Her white left hand supported her chin as she stared at the lake. She seemed to have lost focus as if she was daydreaming. Her eyebrows were covered with a thin layer of worry.
She suddenly turned her head to the left and saw Chu Li in a white robe standing there quietly.
Shen Yinghu glanced at him and supported her chin again to look at the lake.
Chu Li sat down in front of her and smelled her fragrance. He asked, "Senior Shen, if the Third Lady completes her cultivation and becomes an Enlightened Master, what will happen?"
"She will ascend to the Grandmaster's Boundary. You don't know?" Shen Yinghu said.
"She will leave this world!" Chu Li scoffed.
Shen Yinghu nodded. "Of course."
Chu Li said, "I didn't know before!"
"Now you know." Shen Yinghu put down her left arm and stood up. She stared at him with interest. "What, you changed your mind?"
"Yes, I changed my mind!" Chu Li said.
"You can't bear to?" Shen Yinghu asked.
Chu Li said, "I thought that even if she becomes an Enlightened Master and has no feelings for me, I would be able to accept it. As long as she lives well and sees her often, I would be satisfied!"
"What about now?" Shen Yinghu smiled.
Chu Li said, "I can't believe she wants to leave! This Enlightened Master is fine! "
"It's not up to you." Shen Yinghu shook her head. "Her cultivation is getting better and she has severed her feelings for you. This time, it's even more thorough. She has no feelings for you anymore. It's useless no matter what you say!"
Chu Li frowned.
Shen Yinghu sighed. "You didn't seize the best opportunity and it means you lost it. Xiao Qi is no longer yours!"
Chu Li said, "I want to take her away!"
Shen Yinghu laughed. "Alright, as long as she is willing, I won't stop her!"
Chu Li stared at her.
Shen Yinghu said, "The High Duke's Public House is getting stronger and stronger. There's no need for her to sacrifice herself. It's enough for one of them to be sacrificed. There's no need to sacrifice the other one!"
"Thank you, Senior Shen!" Chu Li fist saluted.
