Chu Li had an uncomfortable look on his face.
Although she was a stunning beauty with eyes as clear as autumn water, she still felt uncomfortable being stared at like this.
Yue Ru said softly, "Master …"
Bai Feng snapped back to her senses and shook her head. "I was distracted."
"Do I look like someone?" Chu Li asked.
Bai Feng shook her head. "I'm thinking about how far you can go in the Holy Church of Light."
Chu Li asked, "Senior, do you know about the Holy Church of Light?"
"I know a little." Bai Feng said, "You've contributed enough and your martial arts skills are good enough. All you need is a martial arts competition to become an inner mountain disciple."
Chu Li nodded.
Once the Radiance Clan was reestablished, he would be qualified to participate in the mountain martial arts competition. He would become an inner mountain disciple if he was in the top five.
"Becoming an inner mountain disciple seems to be in your bag, but you have to be careful of the people around you." Bai Feng shook her head. "You'll become their target. If their martial arts skills are no match for yours, they'll find someone to destroy you and get rid of you."
"The disciples of the Holy Church of Light are forbidden to kill each other," Chu Li said.
Bai Feng laughed and shook her head. "You can't be that naive, can you? You're a smart person. Do you really believe this? They won't do it themselves since they can't defeat you. Isn't it the same to find some masters to deal with you? You have many enemies. If they pretend to be from the White Tiger Sect, who will know if it's true or not if they kill you? "
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Bai Feng asked, "When will the martial arts competition be held?"
"In half a year."
Bai Feng shook her head. "Then you won't have an easy time for the next six months."
Chu Li smiled. "I'm not afraid of that!"
"It'll be troublesome for you." Bai Feng pondered. "There's a way. Stay in the Phoenix Goddess Brothel."
"I'll implicate you." Chu Li shook his head.
Bai Feng scoffed. "What can they do if you pretend to be infatuated with Yue Ru?"
"Master …" Yue Ru said softly.
Bai Feng said, "Yue Ru is a beauty. Zhao Dahe, it's not surprising that you like her, right?"
"Miss Yue Ru is so beautiful. Everyone will laugh at me for overestimating myself." Chu Li scratched his head and smiled foolishly.
Bai Feng glared at him. "You're so silly when you smile like that. You should stop!"
"I just can't help it," Chu Li said embarrassedly. "I know I don't look good when I smile."
"Then don't laugh!" Bai Feng scoffed. "Keep a straight face, maintain your dignity, and act like a big shot! People are so superficial and only look at the surface. "
"Alright." Chu Li readily accepted his advice.
Bai Feng said, "That's settled then."
She waved her hand.
Chu Li tactfully excused himself and left.
Yue Ru sent him back to his room and then returned to Bai Feng's room.
"You haven't fallen for him yet?" Bai Feng asked.
Yue Ru shook her head gently.
Bai Feng laughed and said, "Girl, you sure have high standards. Do whatever you want, but you have to work harder on your cultivation!"
Yue Ru nodded gently.
Bai Feng said, "Once you've passed this level, you'll have the ability to protect yourself. I'll be able to return to the mountain with a peace of mind."
"Master …" Yue Ru said reluctantly.
"Are you deliberately delaying your advancement to keep me here?"
"Of course not."
"Then practice hard!"
"Yes." Yue Ru nodded gently.
When she thought about how Chu Li cultivated for three days straight, she was extremely envious. This kind of talent was really infuriating.

Early in the morning, Chu Li left the Phoenix Goddess Brothel and went to the Radiance Clan.
The Radiance Clan was bustling with activity. Dozens of people were working in full swing.
The ruins had been turned into a construction site. Groups of people were working in an orderly manner. Some were building walls, some were digging a lake, and some were digging a foundation.
Chu Li saw Kou Qiong and the other two.
Kou Qiong and the other two approached him and gave a fist salute. "Clan Leader."
"When will it be finished?" Chu Li waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.
Kou Qiong said, "It'll be done in a month."
"A month …" Chu Li nodded. "Don't try to fool me."
"Of course, we'll keep an eye on it!" Kou Qiong patted his chest. "Don't worry, Clan Leader!"
Chu Li nodded in satisfaction.
They stared at Chu Li's expression and sighed in relief when they saw that he was satisfied.
The current Clan Leader was different from the past. Everyone in Gale City knew that he had defeated the White Tiger Sect and suppressed them. The power of a single person was so great that his rise was unstoppable.
Chu Li did not say much. He walked around the place and left to continue his cultivation.
When the lanterns were lit, Gale City became a city that never sleeps.
Chu Li arrived at the Phoenix Goddess Brothel and told the servant that he wanted to see Miss Yue Ru.
However, the servant looked at him awkwardly. "Young Master, unfortunately, Miss Yue Ru already has a guest."
"My surname is Zhao, Zhao Dahe," Chu Li said.
The servant was stunned for a moment before he smiled. "So it's Young Master Zhao. Please come in. Miss Yue Ru has instructed us to treat Young Master Zhao well. I'm really sorry for my poor eyesight. Please come with me, I'll inform Miss Yue Ru immediately."
Chu Li kept a straight face and nodded. "Lead the way."
The servant brought him to a room on the second floor and left quietly. Then, he went to another room and knocked on the door.
A middle-aged man opened the door impatiently and glared at him coldly.
Suddenly, the sound of stringed instruments filled the room, accompanied by Yue Ru's soft laughter and a young man's hearty laughter.
"What's the matter?" The middle-aged man lowered his voice and scoffed. "You've disturbed my Young Master's mood. Do you know what punishment you deserve?"
His eyes glinted as if two swords had pierced into the servant's eyes.
The servant shrunk his neck and hurriedly said, "I have something to report to Miss Yue Ru."
"Miss Yue Ru is drinking with my Young Master. She doesn't have the time." The middle-aged man waved his hand impatiently and kept his voice low.
The servant hurriedly said, "An important guest has arrived. Miss Yue Ru has instructed me to inform her the moment this guest arrives."
"Which important guest? I'd like to know," the middle-aged man said. "What kind of important guest is more important than my Young Master?"
The servant revealed a troubled expression.
Yue Ru's gentle voice was heard. "What's the matter?"
The servant was relieved and hurriedly said, "Miss, Young Master Zhao is here."
"Oh, got it." Yue Ru's voice was heard. "Don't disturb him. I'll be right there."
"Yes," the servant answered and quickly slipped away. He did not want to stay in front of this middle-aged man for even a moment longer.
Yue Ru was dressed in an emerald gown, which made her look fresh and gentle. Under the light, her face looked like white jade. Her pearly white teeth were slightly exposed, and she smiled sweetly.
The man sitting across from her was mesmerized.
He was handsome and tall like a modern male model. His eyes were like cold stars, and his smile was charming and charming. He made people feel close to him.
"Who's Young Master Zhao?" He smiled. "Is he Miss Yue Ru's important guest?"
Yue Ru chuckled. "He's a friend."
"Oh, is he more important than my friend?" The handsome man chuckled.
Yue Ru smiled. "Young Master Lu, you and Young Master Zhao are both my friends. How can I neglect my friends when they're here? I'll be right back."
"Since we're friends, I'd like to meet this Young Master Zhao too. Is that alright?" The handsome man smiled.
Yue Ru smiled and shook her head.
"Is this Young Master Zhao's status too high that I can't meet him?" the handsome man asked.
Yue Ru smiled. "Maybe another day."
