PS: Update complete!
I'll give you a heads-up. I've sent a public message today saying that there will be a thunderstorm tomorrow. The office hours have been changed. I live in a village, so I'm afraid there will be a power outage and internet connection. Please forgive me if I don't update in time tomorrow.
This lady was Xiao Yueling.
Xiao Yueling said, "A new disciple of the sect has entered the world. I'm here to take care of him and return the favor. Do you know Tianxing?"
Chu Li grinned at Zhao Tianxing. "Aunt, are you talking about Brother Zhao? Isn't he from the Wild Goose Faction? "
Zhao Tianxing called out, "Master's Junior!"
When he saw that Chu Li and Master's Junior Xiao Yueling knew each other, he felt a little awkward. Then, he asked nonchalantly, "Master's Junior and Brother Chu know each other?"
"What do you think!" Xiao Yueling said impatiently.
Zhao Tianxing scratched his head and smiled bitterly. "I almost forgot about Master's Junior's background … Brother Chu, I'm really sorry for lying to you."
Chu Li laughed. "You've lied to me over and over again. I've been fooled by you, Brother Zhao. First it was the Flying Eagle Faction, then it was the Wild Goose Faction. In the end, neither of them were. You're indeed a disciple of Green Deer Cliff. Impressive!"
Zhao Tianxing appeared to be gentle, polite, and friendly. Coupled with his handsome appearance, it was easy for him to leave a good impression on others and make him easy to approach. However, he was not telling the truth. Lying seemed to be an innate ability of his. His brain did not need to think at all to lie.
Zhao Tianxing smiled. "I'm too ashamed to tell Brother Chu about my faction."
He was not lying, but other than Chu Li, it was difficult for others to tell if he was telling the truth or not.
The four monks in gray did not mind and continued to deplete Zhao Tianxing's inner energy with ease. They did not put too much pressure on him as they waited for him to run out of energy. Zhao Tianxing was able to divert his attention to talk. It looked like he was at a disadvantage but it was not difficult for him.
Chu Li shook his head and laughed.
Xiao Yueling asked, "When did you meet?"
"We just met," Chu Li replied.
Zhao Tianxing said, "Martial Uncle, it was Brother Chu who saved my life. I nearly lost my life when another Asura ran over just now."
Xiao Yueling harrumphed. "He escaped from my hands!"
She looked at Chu Li. "It's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I would have committed a grave sin. Tian Xing is a disciple who has just left the mountain. He has little experience in the martial arts world. This is the time when he is at a disadvantage."
Chu Li smiled and said, "Aunt, you're worrying too much. With Brother Zhao's ability, he's the only one who'll let others suffer losses. How can he let himself suffer losses?"
Xiao Yueling rolled her eyes at him and scoffed. "Give me the Asura!"
Chu Li turned to look at Fa Xiang and said helplessly, "Great Master, I'm sorry."
Fa Xiang pressed his palms together and said to Xiao Yueling, "So it's Almsgiver Xiao. This humble monk has been impolite. Since Almsgiver Xiao is here, this humble monk shall take his leave."
He now knew Xiao Yueling's identity. She was the previous Lady of the Yi Public House, the younger sister of High Duke Xiao, and a disciple of Green Deer Cliff. Since she was here, Chu Li would definitely have to listen to her. They had no chance of winning.
Since that was the case, there was no need for him to waste any more time. He pressed his palms together and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"
The four grey-robed monks fluttered backward and followed behind Fa Xiang.
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "Aunt, what do you want the Asura for?"
"If they can suppress it, so can we." Xiao Yueling scoffed. "Why should this bunch of monks take all the benefits?"
Chu Li smiled.
Xiao Yueling said to Zhao Tianxing, "You two are considered acquaintances. Don't become enemies."
"How can I?" Zhao Tianxing quickly smiled. "Brother Chu has saved my life. How can we become enemies? Master's Junior, you're worrying too much."
Xiao Yueling nodded. "That's good. You should focus on channeling."
She was smart enough to see through Zhao Tianxing's awkward thoughts and knew that he was jealous of Chu Li. However, he was not a bad person, so she was not afraid that the two of them would become enemies.
Zhao Tianxing gave Chu Li a fist salute. "Brother Chu, please don't take it to heart."
Chu Li shook his head and smiled.
Zhao Tianxing sat down with his legs crossed and channeled his breathing to quickly recover his inner energy.
After fighting for a while, his inner energy had been depleted and his injuries were about to flare up again. He was forcing himself to speak.
Xiao Yueling pointed to the side. The two of them walked a hundred meters away and Xiao Yueling sized Chu Li up.
Chu Li smiled. "Aunt, what are you looking at?"
"I didn't expect you to become like this." Xiao Yueling shook her head. "I didn't expect this at all."
At that time, Chu Li had great aptitude, but she did not expect him to become so powerful in such a short period of time. He had even surpassed Fa Yuan from the Tempest Temple and was now the youth champion. Chu Li in the North and Du Feng in the South.
Chu Li smiled.
Xiao Yueling asked, "What's going on between you and Xiao Qi?"
Chu Li sighed.
Xiao Yueling scoffed. "Yinghu told me and you just let Xiao Qi continue on the Enlightened Master's path?"
"I've joined the Amethyst Mountain," Chu Li said. "I'm cultivating the Nature Restoration Manifestation."
Xiao Yueling's eyes flickered and she nodded. "At least you have some conscience. Can you cultivate the Nature Restoration Manifestation?"
Chu Li replied, "I'm working hard."
"There's no rush." Xiao Yueling said, "It's not easy to become an Enlightened Master. Even if you don't care about her, she might not succeed even if she cultivates for a lifetime. Your Nature Restoration Manifestation has reached a high level and can break her inner state. I'm just afraid that your Nature Restoration Manifestation won't improve as fast as her inner state."
Chu Li smiled. "I'll break her inner state sooner or later."
"Mm, I'm watching." Xiao Yueling scoffed. "It's an opportunity to become a disciple of the Amethyst Mountain. Grasp it well and don't embarrass the High Duke's Public House."
Chu Li nodded. "Oh right, I heard that Green Deer Cliff uses the Spirit Crane Technique as its foundation. Aunt, can you teach me the Spirit Crane Technique?"
"In your dreams!" Xiao Yueling said impatiently. "The Spirit Crane Technique is the core technique of Green Deer Cliff. How can we teach it to outsiders?"
Chu Li sighed in disappointment.
"The martial arts of the Amethyst Mountain are enough for you to cultivate. Why do you need the Spirit Crane Technique?" Xiao Yueling scoffed. "Just cultivate properly. Don't bite off more than you can chew!"
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
"Amitabha …" A Buddhist chant was heard, followed by a clear voice. "Almsgiver Chu —"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "Fa Yuan, why are you being so sneaky?"
"I have a few words to say to Almsgiver Chu." Fa Yuan's calm voice was heard slowly.
Chu Li turned his head. "Aunt, I'll go take a look."
"Go." Xiao Yueling waved her hand.
Chu Li glided away and arrived at a gazebo a mile away.
It was a post house. Only Fa Yuan stood quietly in the gazebo. His grey cowl fluttered in the wind, making him look handsome.
Chu Li flashed into the gazebo and smiled. "You transferred me here because you want to snatch the Asuras, right?"
"I have no choice." Fa Yuan shook his head and sighed. "If Almsgiver Chu wishes to help, I can only accompany you to the end and hold you back."
"Alright." Chu Li said. "I'd like to ask what's going on with the Tempest Temple. Didn't you suppress the Asuras? Why is there such a big mess? It looks like they're even more savage than before! "
"The Holy Church of Light!" Fa Yuan said in a serious tone. "They've mastered the Asura Taming Technique. They've already tamed twenty people."
Chu Li's expression turned serious. He said in a low voice, "You're just going to let them run wild in the Ji Dynasty?"
Fa Yuan said, "They've sent quite a number of masters to catch us off guard. It won't be so easy for them to succeed next time … But the suppression has also been broken. Many Asuras have escaped. Now, the disciples of my temple are tracking these Asuras!"
"Sigh …" Chu Li shook his head. "How many have escaped?"
"… Twenty-two." Fa Yuan spat out the number with much difficulty and revealed an awkward expression.
Chu Li glared at him.
Fa Yuan said, "Almsgiver Chu, you have to be careful of the Holy Church of Light."
Chu Li scoffed. "They've been looking for trouble with me. Of course I know that."
"The Asuras they've tamed are all top-notch Asuras. Some of them have higher cultivation levels than me. I'm worried that they'll use them against you." Fa Yuan frowned.
