PS: Last night, the lass had a fever of 40 degrees. Today, she went to the hospital in the city. The doctor was scared out of his wits. He has been in a state of panic. He tried his best to calm down and write. He can only try his best. I can't reply to every comment today.
On the second day, when Murong Chun and Xia Liyan were about to persuade the Hill Leader to appoint Zhuge Tian as the next Hill Leader, Zhuge Feng suddenly said, "I have thought about it for a whole night. I have decided that the next Hill Leader will be Zhuge Tian!
The six elders were shocked and then overjoyed.
Amidst the joy, there was some confusion. They did not know why Zhuge Feng suddenly changed his mind. According to his previous attitude, he would not agree no matter what they said. They were already prepared for a long time.
They did not expect him to change his mind in one night.
"Leader, how did you change your mind?" Murong Chun asked.
Zhuge Feng said, "His martial arts is indeed better. I have suffered enough because I am not strong enough. I do not want the next leader to end up like me."
Murong Chun nodded.
Ever since the last time, he understood that to the leader of Crouching Bull Mountain, martial arts was the foundation and the backbone of the sect. If the leader's martial arts were not strong enough, there was no point in talking about it.
Zhuge Feng said, "Although that bastard is unworthy, his martial arts are indeed top notch. If I insist on pushing him out, it will be a huge loss to the sect. From today onwards, let him return to the sect. I hope everyone will not blame me for changing my mind."
"It's okay to change your mind, as long as it's for the good of the sect!" Murong Chun smiled.
Xia Liyan said, "Congratulations to the leader for being able to change his mind!"
"Today, I will pass on the leader's heart technique to him. I will also pass on the secrets of the sect to him. If I am not alive, all of you will assist him."
"Leader, don't say such inauspicious things. How could the leader not be alive!" Murong Chun said.
Zhuge Feng scoffed, "That's hard to say! … He has been doing things more methodically lately. All of you should advise him and not let him do anything rash. "
"Yes." The six closed fist saluted.

Chu Li followed Zhuge Feng to a cliff at the back of the mountain. Below them was a deep valley. Looking out, a strong wind blew against their faces. The whistling sound was shrill, as if there were ghosts hiding in the valley that wanted to pull people down.
"Follow me down," Zhuge Feng said and jumped down.
Chu Li floated down to the ground.
When Zhuge Feng fell to a thousand feet, he suddenly shouted, "We're almost there!"
With a sway of his body, he stuck close to the moss-covered cliff and fiercely patted a rock four times. With a muffled rumble, a cave entrance appeared and he floated in.
Zhuge Feng stared in front of him and said in a low voice, "Remember my steps. One wrong step and there will be a fatal trap. No matter how strong you are, you won't be able to dodge it!"
Chu Li nodded and followed closely behind him, stepping on every single one of his footprints.
Through the Omniscient Mirror, he could see the traps in the stone walls. There were sharp arrows and daggers. Every arrow and dagger was a dark blue, sharp and vicious. They were all over the two sides of the stone walls. There were huge rocks above their heads and traps under their feet. There were short spears in the traps. If they fell into the traps, they would become sieves.
The two of them came to a stone room. The stone room was surrounded by colorful murals. The people in the murals were lifelike. Their faces were similar and their skin was white. There were long red and blue lines that were the flow of the meridians.
Chu Li glanced at them and imprinted them in his mind. He carefully analyzed them. There were two sets of martial arts, one was an inner energy heart technique and the other was a fist technique.
He realized that these two sets of martial arts were not easy to cultivate. The people looked easy, but the flow of inner energy was extremely difficult. It was as if there was an invisible force blocking it.
Zhuge Feng said, "This is the Insight of Crouching Bull. Unfortunately, it's only half. The inner energy heart technique and fist technique are both half, so their power is greatly reduced. If you can completely master the Crouching Bull Power and Crouching Bull Punch, you will be able to dominate the world."
Chu Li said, "Then Skyward Palace only has the second half. Isn't that even worse?"
The first half was usually the basics and beginners. The second half was the full power. Without the second half, the power would be slightly weaker. Without the first half, it would be impossible to cultivate.
Zhuge Feng scoffed. "They don't cultivate the Crouching Bull Power and Crouching Bull Punch. It's just a martial art from a sect that was destroyed, Skyward Sect."
Chu Li frowned. "If that's the case, why can't we steal it?"
"Because the hill master made a vow to never steal the martial arts from Skyward Palace," Zhuge Feng said.
Chu Li shook his head and could not help but laugh. It was no wonder that Crouching Bull Mountain was on the decline. They did all sorts of inexplicable things and caused all sorts of inexplicable things. It seemed like the greatest ability of the previous Hill Masters was to harm the younger generation.
Chu Li said, "If that's the case, how do we steal the martial arts from Skyward Palace?"
Zhuge Feng said, "We have to make them return it willingly."
"Willingly …" Chu Li smiled.
Zhuge Feng said, "I'll leave this to you. Don't leave it to the next hill master!"
"I'll try my best." Chu Li did not dare to speak too confidently. He did not understand Skyward Palace at all.
"I'll give you two days. Can you remember these?" Zhuge Feng pointed at the stone wall.
Chu Li shook his head. "I've already memorized them."
Zhuge Feng was stunned. "So fast?"
"I have enough brains," Chu Li said.
Zhuge Feng sighed. He did not expect his son to be so smart. It was no wonder he could master the Cloud Slashing Sword Technique.
"If that's the case, then let's go. Zhuge Feng said, "With the Crouching Bull Power, the power of the various martial arts of the Crouching Bull Mountain can be unleashed. As the next Hill Master of the Crouching Bull Mountain, you should practice the Crouching Bull Power well."
Chu Li said, "I want to know where Skyward Palace is."
"What do you want to do?" Zhuge Feng scoffed.
He walked out and Chu Li stepped on his feet. The footprints he made when he came in and when he left were different.
Chu Li said, "I'll check it out first."
"In a deep mountain a thousand miles away. Qiao San knows. Let him bring you there," Zhuge Feng said.
The two of them chatted as they left the cave.
The stone door closed and blended into the surroundings. If it was not led by someone, others would not have discovered it. Even if they knew there was a cave, they would not have found it.
When the two returned to the main hall, they saw that there were guests. Xia Liyan was talking to an old man and a young man. The rest of the elders were not there.
"Greetings, hill master." Seeing them come in, the old man and the young man stood up and closed fist saluted.
The old man was plump and his smile was dignified. Even though he was smiling, no one dared to underestimate him.
The young man was not handsome, but he had a calm demeanor. His body was thin but gave people a strong feeling. It was as if his thin body contained a huge amount of power. His eyes were calm and his smile was relaxed.
Zhuge Feng closed fist saluted back and frowned. "Elder Hu, why are you here!"
"Hehe, hill master, do you still remember Tianji?" The old man Hu Huarong pointed at the young man and smiled. "Lu Tianji."
"Of course I remember Tianji." Zhuge Feng glanced at Lu Tianji and nodded. He sat in the armchair in the middle. "Elder Hu, why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could go down the mountain to welcome you?"
"I'm not that arrogant." Hu Huarong waved his hand. "I came back this time to send Tianji off. Let him cultivate in the sect for a while and get along well with his peers. This is also for the future."
Xia Liyan said, "What are your plans for the future?"
