Yue Ru was surprised to see him agree so readily.
She had thought that Zhao Dahe would feel embarrassed when he heard what she said. He would feel that he had shown weakness and would insist on taking the initiative to attack them.
She had prepared a lot of things to say to convince him. She told him not to be impulsive and that it was wise to know when to advance or retreat.
She did not expect that she would not be able to use her words. She felt slightly disappointed.
Chu Li looked at her and smiled. "Miss Yue Ru, I'm not that stupid. I was lucky to be able to kill Tan Jin. I'm no match for him based on my cultivation level and skills. Besides, he had the treasured clothing!"
Yue Ru smiled.
Chu Li said, "This time, they've sent two or more Elders, and they're even wearing White Tiger Armor. If I go out again, it'll be no different from courting death. I still have many years to live, I don't want to die!"
Yue Ru burst into laughter. Her smile was beautiful and charming.
She was amused by the words "many years to live". He was ugly, so it was funny to hear him say that he still had many years to live.
"They're all elders. They can't be away from the sect for too long." Chu Li smiled. "I believe they won't stay for long."
"Master said the same thing." Yue Ru chuckled. "After this incident, they might not even look for you again."
"That's for the best." Chu Li smiled.
Yue Ru said, "Master instigated a fight between them and the Flaming Sun Sect. If that happens, he won't be able to take care of you anymore."
"It'll be difficult." Chu Li shook his head. "Don't count on the Flaming Sun Sect. I'll go into isolated cultivation for a month and see if they can hold on!"
Yue Ru smiled. "That's for the best."

A bright moon hung in the sky and its light shone on Gale City.
Gale City was brightly lit and it was more prosperous than during the day.
In a small courtyard in the Roaring Tiger Clan.
Zhou Ninghe and Fu Yu sat at the stone table in the middle of the courtyard. They each held a white jade wine cup and looked at the bright moon in the sky thoughtfully.
After a while, Fu Yu said, "After thinking about it, there's something wrong with the Tian Luo Sect!"
"It doesn't seem like the Flaming Sun Sect." Zhou Ninghe nodded slowly and took a sip of wine. "Pang Jinshui's death means that even if they were originally harboring Zhao Dahe, they have now fallen out with him. Zhao Dahe will no longer trust them!"
Fu Yu nodded. "More importantly, that girl Yue Ru has a grudge against Tan Jin for killing her father. How can she not seek revenge?"
"But that Bai Feng …" Zhou Ninghe hesitated.
"There is a way." Fu Yu snorted, "Ask her out and lure her away from her territory. Then, cover her face and enter the Phoenix Goddess Brothel. Search every room!"
"I'm afraid Bai Feng will be able to tell." Zhou Ninghe sighed. "She's extremely intelligent."
"So what if she knows?" Fu Yu sneered. "We won't admit it even if she beats us to death. What can she do? Even if Sect Leader Luo comes, we won't be afraid without evidence. Sect Leader will back us up! "
"Sigh … I really don't want to go against Bai Feng." Zhou Ninghe shook his head and smiled bitterly. "She's a lunatic. She can't be judged by common sense."
"No matter how crazy she is, she won't dare to cause a scene," Fu Yu said. "No matter what, we must kill Zhao Dahe this time!"
"Alright, I'll listen to you, Brother Fu!" Zhou Ninghe put down the white jade cup and said in a low voice. Under the moonlight, his face was as solemn as still water.
That night, Yue Ru received an invitation. Zhou Ninghe and Fu Yu had invited Bai Feng to admire the moon the next night and discuss the search for Zhao Dahe.
Yue Ru hurried to the third floor.
Bai Feng was cultivating on the couch. She was dressed in a dark green gown. She took the invitation and glanced at it. Then, she scoffed. "They're inviting me to admire the moon. They're up to no good!"
Yue Ru said, "They didn't fight with the Flaming Sun Sect."
"Forget it. I'm not going." Bai Feng scoffed.
Yue Ru was surprised. "Can we not go?"
Bai Feng pondered and seemed to be lost in thought. Her eyes flickered incessantly like the stars in the night sky.
After a while, she took out a thin booklet and a jade pendant from her inner pocket. "Give this to Zhao Dahe."
"Is this the Stupefying Howl?" Yue Ru glanced at the thin booklet and looked at Bai Feng in surprise. "Master, can this be taught to outsiders?"
"It's not an earth-shattering antique study," Bai Feng said. "He's extremely intelligent, so he should be able to learn it in no time."
Yue Ru said, "If he uses it, doesn't that mean that we're related to him?"
"So what?" Bai Feng scoffed. "This is what I want!"
Yue Ru looked at her in confusion.
Bai Feng waved her hand. "Alright, there's no point in talking about it. Also, this jade pendant can help him conceal his breath for two hours. After that, it will lose its effect."
"… Yes." Yue Ru nodded lightly.
She knew that her master did not have the patience to explain. She would have to figure it out on her own. Moreover, her master's ideas were imaginative and she would not be able to understand them no matter how hard she tried. All she had to do was follow her master's instructions. After all, her master would not harm her.
However, teaching the Stupefying Howl to outsiders was a violation of the rules of the Tian Luo Sect. If the sect leader found out about it, he would punish her severely. In fact, since the sect leader was the grandmaster, he would punish her even more severely.
"Master, are you going to admire the moon?"
"Hmph, why not? I must go!"
"Yes." Yue Ru nodded and curtsied before she left.
She arrived at Chu Li's room and gently pushed the door open.
Chu Li put down his book and stood up with a smile. "Miss Yue Ru."
Yue Ru placed the thin booklet and the jade pendant on the table and said with a smile, "This is a secret manual?"
Chu Li picked up the booklet and glanced at it. He was surprised. "Is this a secret manual?"
"The Stupefying Howl is a Musical Assassination Technique." Yue Ru nodded lightly. "It's also one of the secret skills of the Tian Luo Sect. It's not easy to cultivate. If Master Zhao has the time, you can try cultivating it."
"This is the Sumeru Jade Pendant." Yue Ru pointed at the crystal clear jade pendant and said, "It can conceal one's breath for two hours. After that, it will lose its effect and shatter."
"Two hours …" Chu Li nodded slowly. "What happened?"
Yue Ru frowned. "Zhou Ninghe and Fu Yu from the White Tiger Sect just sent an invitation to Master to admire the moon tomorrow night."
Chu Li asked thoughtfully, "So Senior Bai gave me these?"
"Yes." Yue Ru nodded.
Chu Li said, "Looks like the White Tiger Sect is going to search the Phoenix Goddess Brothel."
"That can't be, right?" Yue Ru was shocked. She frowned thoughtfully.
Yue Ru was not stupid. She immediately understood what Chu Li meant.
Master had guessed that the White Tiger Sect was going to search the Phoenix Goddess Brothel. Master Zhao could not hide it anymore and wanted him to leave.
Chu Li said, "The White Tiger Sect will use this trick sooner or later … Tell Senior Bai not to worry. I know what to do."
"Master Zhao …" Yue Ru looked apologetic.
Chu Li laughed. "Miss Yue Ru, I'm not going to leave the Phoenix Goddess Brothel. Two hours is enough. Think about it. Can't they finish searching in two hours? I'll come back after two hours! "
Yue Ru smiled sweetly and sighed in relief.
Chu Li said, "Senior Bai is afraid that something might happen, so he asked me to cultivate the Stupefying Howl. I'll do as he says. Please thank him for me."
Yue Ru nodded.
She secretly sighed in relief and left.
She initially thought that Master was chasing Zhao Dahe away, but it seemed like she had misunderstood. She was too stupid, especially in front of Master.
