The lady in white said, "Let him stay here after he's revived. You can go to Hu Zhou City after that. There's another one there. See if it's worth bringing him back and imparting him with you."
"Yes," Miss Ruolan replied.
The lady in white waved her hand.
Miss Ruolan lifted Chu Li's belt and glided out of the backyard to the front yard. She found a small room and placed Chu Li on the bed in the bedroom.
"Bang!" Miss Ruolan suddenly slammed her palm on Chu Li's chest.
Chu Li felt an extremely strong force hit his chest like an electric shock. Then, another strange force was injected into his body. His heart started to beat uncontrollably, and the turbulent force coursed through his body. His vitality was bursting, and he came back to life.
Miss Ruolan heaved a sigh of relief and her charming face turned pale.
Chu Li knew that her palm strike had a profound meaning and was no ordinary palm energy.
Miss Ruolan stared at him without blinking as she breathed in front of the bed. Her full chest heaved up and down vigorously.
Chu Li slowly opened his eyes and looked at the algae well in confusion.
Miss Ruolan asked, "You're awake?"
Chu Li turned to look at her and his eyes widened. "Miss Ruolan, you're dead too?"
Miss Ruolan replied, "I'm not dead and neither are you."
"That's not right." Chu Li's stubbornness and foolishness were ingrained into his bones. There was no trace of him acting as if he was Zhao Dahe himself. "I remember it clearly. It was that b * stard Feng Xi who killed me. How could I have escaped?"
"You're not dead," Miss Ruolan said.
She knew it was inappropriate to judge a person by his appearance, but facing this ugly face with triangular eyes, a flat nose, and thick lips, she really couldn't bring herself to like him. She tried her best to face him calmly and not be indifferent because of his ugliness. She had already done her best.
Moreover, he was not a likable person. He was stubborn and could easily turn hostile.
Chu Li was shocked. "I'm really not dead?"
"You're not dead," Miss Ruolan replied. "This is Ben State City. In a few days, the Saint will pass on her martial arts to you and you'll become a disciple of the Holy Church of Light."
Chu Li was delighted. "Was it Miss Ruolan who saved me?"
Miss Ruolan said, "It's not me. It's just a test to see if you've concealed your martial arts and your reaction before you die."
She had seen too many people who seemed brave and fearless, but when faced with life and death, they would immediately change into another person. When faced with a powerful enemy, no matter how they struggled or resisted, they would kneel and beg for mercy, begging for their lives.
There was a great terror between life and death. Facing death was the best time to test a person's character.
"Does Commander Zhou know about it too?" Chu Li scoffed.
Miss Ruolan nodded. "Of course I do! … The Saintess possesses the Divine Technique and can see through people's hearts. Zhao Dahe, if you have any shameful secrets or have any ulterior motives, you'd better plan ahead and confess. Leave as soon as possible. Don't let the Saintess find out and kill you on the spot. "
Chu Li said hatefully, "Commander Zhou actually knew about it too!"
Miss Ruolan frowned at him. "Is there anything I need to confess? Or are you going to leave? "
Chu Li said, "I've misjudged him!"
Miss Ruolan furrowed her brows even more.
Chu Li hurriedly waved his hand. "I don't have anything to hide. What do you mean by having ulterior motives?"
"I've entered the Holy Church with ulterior motives."
"If I want to kill Feng Xi, does that count as having ulterior motives?"
"Feng Xi is a disciple of the church. The church rules prohibit disciples from killing each other. If you kill Feng Xi, you'll have to die according to the church rules!"
"I can't kill Feng Xi just because I joined the church?" Chu Li's eyes widened.
Miss Ruolan nodded slowly.
"Then I won't join the church!"
"If you don't join the church, you'll never be able to defeat Feng Xi."
"Who said that!" Chu Li scoffed indignantly, but his expression was bitter.
Feng Xi was a Grandmaster. How could he possibly defeat him? No matter how strong he was, without top-notch Light-body Technique, he would not even be able to touch the corner of Feng Xi's shirt.
He had completely merged himself with Zhao Dahe, so his thoughts were no different from Zhao Dahe's.
Miss Ruolan asked, "Are you dead now?"
"I'm not dead."
"Then Feng Xi didn't kill you. … He was only testing you. It's not the same as Feng Changwen killing you."
"… You can say that."
"Since he didn't kill you, you don't have to kill him. You just have to teach him a lesson."
"Yes, I have to teach him a good lesson!"
"The disciples of the church are not allowed to kill each other, but they're allowed to spar with each other." Miss Ruolan patiently guided Zhao Dahe's way of thinking. She took the opportunity to guide him. "You can force him to spar with you and beat him up."
"One round isn't enough!" Chu Li shook his head and said seriously, "At least ten rounds!"
Miss Ruolan smiled faintly. "As long as you're capable of making him spar with you!"
Chu Li revealed a satisfied smile.
Miss Ruolan felt that Zhao Dahe was not a problem. He was just a little stupid. It was a problem how to use him, and he was an awkward person.
"Stay here for the next few days and don't go anywhere. You're not allowed to go to the backyard. You'll be killed if you barge in," Miss Ruolan said.
"Who's in the backyard?" Chu Li asked.
Miss Ruolan replied, "You don't need to know. It's best if you stay in the house and don't come out."
"I'll sleep then," Chu Li said.
Miss Ruolan nodded. "Mm, that's for the best."
She stood up and left.

King An's Residence in Fairy's Capital of the Li Dynasty.
Chu Li appeared in Tianshu Courtyard. Only Siao Shi was practicing her breathing technique in the courtyard. She was dressed in a snow-white robe. When she saw Chu Li, she gave him a sidelong glance and ignored him.
Chu Li smiled. "Why is it only Lady Siao Shi?"
Siao Shi ignored him.
Chu Li stared at her with a smile.
Siao Shi scoffed. "Little Sister is here tonight. She just got back."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Through the Omniscient Mirror, he saw the situation in one of the residences at the back of the Imperial Residence. Shen Yinghu was reading in a gazebo above the lake in the backyard while Siao Qi was sitting quietly in the gazebo.
The lake was calm and she seemed to have become one with it.
Chu Li frowned. The calmer and more stable her state of mind was, the more difficult it would be for him to break free.
"You haven't been back for a few days!" Siao Shi ended her breathing technique and stared at him. "Is it more fun in the Li Dynasty?"
Chu Li smiled. "I'm about to break into the Holy Church of Light."
"It went so smoothly?" Siao Shi was surprised.
Chu Li replied, "It went quite smoothly."
He sat in front of the stone table. Siao Shi took the teacup from Yang Xu and handed it to him personally. Her hands and the snow-white porcelain teacup blended so well that it was hard to tell them apart.
After Yang Xu left, Chu Li told Siao Shi about his experiences over the past few days. Siao Shi listened with great interest.
"What does the Saint look like?" Siao Shi asked.
Chu Li shook his head. "She covered her face, so I couldn't see her face clearly."
Siao Shi said, "She's the most beautiful woman in the Li Dynasty."
Chu Li looked at her with a smile.
Siao Shi rolled her eyes at him. "Don't go undercover. You'll get yourself into trouble and be charmed by her."
Chu Li burst into laughter.
