As Chu Li watched Yang Ying's slender silhouette disappear into the distance, his expression turned solemn and he frowned.
The White Tiger Sect was indeed powerful. They knew when to yield and when to use a honey trap when they could not win. They did not think that it was inferior for one of the four major sects to use such a tactic. Moreover, they did not hesitate to change from hard to soft and flexible.
This was not something an ordinary person possessed. It was not the work of an ordinary person. It was not easy to let go of hatred. One could imagine how much pressure they had to suppress the doubts and complaints of many people.
Although it was just a guess, there was no evidence to prove it.
Yang Ying was unaware that she was in the middle of the situation. However, the White Tiger Sect had countless spies in Gale City. If Yang Ying had really sneaked out, the White Tiger Sect would have known about it and taken her back.
The normal reaction would be to take her back in advance out of fear that he would kill her instead of letting her make a scene to provoke him. No matter how slow the White Tiger Sect was, they should have reacted long ago.
Perhaps the White Tiger Sect came up with this idea because the news of him being infatuated with Yue Ru had spread. In terms of appearance, Yang Ying was indeed better. Moreover, she was lively and cheerful, which made people less wary of her.
Chu Li touched his chin.
This was one of the strengths of the White Tiger Sect. With such a lively and cheerful female disciple, the White Tiger Sect might not necessarily want the two of them to have an intimate relationship. Women like her were more likable. Even if they did not have romantic feelings for each other, they would still like her. As a result, they would be able to reduce their disgust and hostility toward the White Tiger Sect.
He then shook his head and smiled. He had thought too deeply.
When he saw the man in gray on the ground, his expression turned serious again.
They had appeared too suddenly and strangely. They were obviously not from Gale City. They were probably some fellow disciples who did not know his strength well. After this, they would send more powerful people to assassinate him.
Since they could not wait to attack so early, his senior brothers were determined to kill him.
His cultivation level was divided into two parts. One part was his original cultivation level. The Cloud Slashing Power, the Heavenly Demonic Power, and the Life and Death Scripture were already top-notch. Back then, he was only slightly inferior to the Holy Church of Light's Priest Fang Qingyang. After cultivating the Divine Light Technique, his speed became faster and he could surpass Fang Qingyang.
The other part was the cultivation level of the Divine Light Technique.
After coming to the Li Dynasty, he used the Life and Death Scripture to completely abandon his original cultivation level. He became a person without inner energy and started cultivating the Divine Light Technique from scratch.
He had cultivated both the Great Light Scripture and Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture at the same time and cultivated the Divine Light Body, allowing his Divine Light Technique to advance at an incredible speed. However, he had only cultivated it for slightly more than two months after all, so there was a limit to how fast he could advance. Based on his cultivation level alone, he was far from being able to surpass the elders of the White Tiger Sect, much less Fang Qingyang. In fact, he could not even compare to the outer mountain disciples who had cultivated for ten years.
However, he had mastered the ninth level of the Light Blade, which allowed his abilities to far exceed his cultivation level.
It was as if he suddenly had a pistol in the era of cold weapons. He could kill the White Tiger Sect Elder with his Light Blade, so it would be a piece of cake for him to deal with these outer mountain disciples.
In this way, he would be able to secure first place in the outer mountain disciple tournament.
How could the outer mountain disciples, who had painstakingly cultivated for more than a decade and were determined to become the champion, not view him as a thorn in their side, a thorn in their flesh that they would remove as soon as possible. They might even unite to kill him.
Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on his face. He wanted to see what kind of people they would send over. These repulsive people today were really disappointing.

The next morning, Chu Li went to Nine Star Tower for breakfast as usual.
This time, he managed to grab a seat by the window and sat at the table to look out of the window. He looked down at the people coming and going. It was noisy and trivial, and the smell of life assaulted his senses. He felt that the lives of ordinary people were right in front of him, and he was no longer as distant and unapproachable as the clouds.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Amidst the faint fragrance, Yang Ying walked over to his table with light steps and sat directly opposite him. She waved her hand to summon a servant over and quickly gave him a list of menus.
Chu Li looked at her helplessly. "Miss Yang, didn't you go back to cultivate in isolation?"
"I don't want to go back yet." Yang Ying shook her head. "It's not easy for me to go down the mountain. I'll be punished when I go back, and I probably won't be able to come down for a few years. Of course, I want to have fun!"
"How many days do you want to play?" Chu Li asked.
"I don't know." Yang Ying said, "I'll play as long as I can. I think Master will come looking for me soon. Those people from Roaring Tiger Clan promised to keep this a secret, but they must have secretly reported it to the mountain!"
Chu Li smiled. "What's so fun about Gale City?"
"There's a lot of fun," Yang Ying exclaimed. "It's very lively, and the dishes at Nine Star Tower are delicious!"
Chu Li nodded. No wonder she was so familiar with the names of the dishes. It seemed that she had been eating here for a long time and was almost done with her research.
Yang Ying moved closer to him and sized him up with her bright eyes.
Chu Li did not hate her. Instead, he found her adorable.
Because of his appearance, there were very few beauties who were so close to him and did not hate him. Yang Ying's friendly and easygoing manner made him feel very close to her.
Chu Li took a sip of wine and looked out of the window with a thoughtful expression.
Yang Ying burst into laughter.
Chu Li looked at her helplessly. "What's wrong?"
"I just think that you're ridiculous."
Chu Li asked, "What's so ridiculous about it?"
"Do you really like that Miss Yue Ru?"
Chu Li remained silent.
It would be troublesome whether he answered or not, so he could only keep his mouth shut.
"I think that Miss Yue Ru really likes that Lu Xiaofeng," Yang Ying said.
Chu Li nodded.
"I heard that you've obtained our White Tiger Armor?"
"Yes."
"I'll help you get Miss Yue Ru back and you'll give me a set of White Tiger Armor. What do you think?"
Chu Li shook his head and laughed. "I've never forced anyone."
"I'll cripple Lu Xiaofeng's martial arts and force him to cultivate in isolation," Yang Ying said excitedly. "Then, you can take advantage of the situation and win Miss Yue Ru's heart!"
Chu Li laughed. "With my appearance, it's useless for me to stay by her side for a long time."
"Your face is indeed a little lacking." Yang Ying looked at him from head to toe and shook her head. "You're unlucky that your parents don't treat you well. I'm much luckier!"
As she spoke, she covered her delicate little face with her hands, feeling pleased with herself.
Chu Li felt that talking to her was relaxing and pleasant.
Yang Ying put her hands down and said seriously, "The White Tiger Sect has a White Tiger Bonesetting Skill. After you cultivate it, your flat nose will straighten and your cheekbones will become shorter. You'll look much better. Do you want to give it a try?"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Yang Ying said, "A set of White Tiger Armor."
Chu Li immediately shook his head.
Yang Ying scoffed and said, "Think about it, your martial arts is so powerful. If you become a little more good-looking, you won't have to worry about women liking you. Isn't a set of White Tiger Armor worth it? "
"It's not worth it." Chu Li shook his head.
"You're such a boring person!" Yang Ying scoffed. "No wonder no women like you!"
Chu Li glared at her.
Yang Ying said, "Then tell me, how can you give me a set of White Tiger Armor?"
