After Chu Li finished his meal, he slowly returned to the Sutra Library.
He suddenly felt that he had returned to the time when he first entered the Public House. It was the quietest time back then, and it was also the time when he could study in peace. Once he left the library, there were more and more things to do, and he could not study in peace.
It was the same now that he had entered the Great Light Peak. This was the time when he needed to focus on his studies. It was impossible for him to get any information about the Holy Church of Light. The disciples of this peak were all new disciples. There was no information to speak of.
However, there were about two hundred people in the library. He was puzzled. How could there be so many people? Logically speaking, there were only fifteen new disciples every five years. How could there be so many?
He still had not figured out the operation of the Holy Church of Light. He needed to learn bit by bit.
He looked at the people in the Sutra Library. Most of them were about the same age as him. There were also some who were older. There were even some who were around forty years old. Their cultivation level was high. They were probably not new disciples.
He guessed that the new disciples couldn't wander around randomly and couldn't go to other peaks, while the older disciples could come back here. The Scripture Depository was very likely the only one among the nine peaks, and not all peaks had a Scripture Depository.
He was not in a hurry to look at other secret manuals. His priority now was to cultivate the Divine Light Technique.
He had been cultivating the Scripture of Divine Light, which strengthened his Divine Light Body. Hence, his progress in cultivating the Divine Light Technique was very fast.
This was the fastest time for him to cultivate the Divine Light Technique. He should not be distracted by other martial arts. Moreover, his current environment was simple. There seemed to be no disputes. The Light Blade was enough to protect himself.
In the evening, after the sun had set, the Sutra Library began to close. Zhao Zhe and the others had also left. There were only three people left in the huge Sutra Library, Chu Li, Mo Cuicui, and Sun Lihua.
Chu Li carefully cleaned the first floor and went to the second floor to greet Sun Lihua. Mo Cuicui was still busy upstairs.
"Junior Brother Zhao, wait for a while. The three of us will go eat together." Sun Lihua was dressed in a green outfit. She looked valiant and gentle. Her voice was soft and gentle. It was hard to refuse her.
Chu Li asked, "Senior Sister Sun, are the people who came to the Sutra Library from the First Peak?"
"How is that possible?" Sun Li Hua laughed. "How many disciples are there in the First Peak?"
Chu Li said, "They can come here, but we can't go to their place?"
"Yes." Sun Lihua nodded. "They can come here, but we can't."
"How many disciples does the Holy Church of Light have?" Chu Li asked.
Sun Li Hua shook her head. "I'm afraid that only the leader knows about this. Other than the leader, no one else knows. The nine peaks are divided into three upper peaks, three middle peaks, and three lower peaks. No one knows how many people live in the three upper peaks. It's said that it's the most comfortable place. The spiritual energy there far surpasses that of the three lower and three middle peaks. If you live in the three upper peaks, even if you don't know any martial arts, you can still live for more than three hundred years. Grandmasters can easily live for four hundred years."
Chu Li sighed. "How unfathomable."
"Take your time. There's no rush." Sun Lihua smiled and said, "Right now, we can only stay in the Sutra Depository. We can't go anywhere else. It's useless to know too much."
"Sigh … I wonder if I can enter the third peak." Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "I don't know if I can live until then. I've offended Altar Leader Mo. My life is in danger."
"That won't happen." Sun Lihua looked like she couldn't bear it.
She knew that Altar Leader Mo wouldn't let him go. Mo Cuicui wouldn't let the murderer of her cousin go either. His future was indeed unpredictable.
The only thing she could do was to ease the relationship between him and Mo Cuicui. If they could improve their relationship, Altar Leader Mo wouldn't kill him.
"I wonder if there's a Senior Sister Xia Xue in our tower?" Chu Li asked.
"Xia Xue … Senior Sister Xia." Sun Lihua thought for a while and said, "I think there's a Senior Sister Xia Xue in the torture chamber."
"Torture chamber?" Chu Li asked, "We have a torture chamber here?"
"Of course." Sun Lihua smiled and said, "Without a torture chamber, who's going to punish the disciples if they break the rules? Do you think that no one cares about us? "
"I don't see anyone." Chu Li shook his head.
Sun Lihua smiled and said, "You don't usually see them. But if you make a mistake, they'll appear."
Chu Li nodded. "May I know where the torture chamber is?"
"We can't go there." Sun Lihua shook her head.
Chu Li nodded and said no more.
Mo Cuicui quickly came down. When she saw Chu Li, her pretty face instantly darkened.
Chu Li smiled and greeted, "Senior Sister Mo."
Mo Cuicui coldly said, "Hmph, you don't have to wait for me!"
Sun Lihua said, "Alright, we're together. Let's go to the canteen together."
"I get annoyed just by looking at this guy. Senior Sister Sun, let's not go with him." Mo Cuicui hurriedly said.
Sun Lihua said, "Everyone else is in a group of three. It's not good for us to be alone. Don't do this."
"What's wrong with that? He's an outer mountain disciple anyway!" Mo Cuicui curled her lips and said disdainfully, "Moreover, he'll be leaving after a year. He won't be with us anymore. Why should we care about him?"
"We'll be together this year." Sun Lihua comforted her gently and pulled her arm. "Let's go."
Mo Cuicui helplessly followed her out. She turned her head and glared at Chu Li who was following them. She sneered and said, "You're really shameless. You're a man. Why are you following a woman?"
Chu Li smiled and said, "I don't know anything. Of course, I'll follow Senior Sister Sun. If you don't want to follow us, then so be it!"
"You …" Mo Cuicui was furious. She gritted her teeth. "You're such a useless piece of trash. A man should follow behind a woman!"
Chu Li smiled and said nothing.
"Alright." Sun Lihua quickly pulled Mo Cuicui away. "I've heard about what happened to your cousin. Junior Brother Zhao has already been punished."
"He deserves to die!" Mo Cuicui scoffed.
Sun Lihua said, "If he really deserved to die, would the Saint forgive him?"
Chu Li fist saluted and said, "Senior Sister Sun is fair. I'm the one who's been wronged the most. I didn't provoke anyone, but your cousin wanted to kill me for no reason. She kept trying to kill me, again and again. If I didn't do anything, I would've been killed by her!"
The three of them chatted as they left the Sutra Library and headed down to the Flavorful Tower.
The Flavorful Tower was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Sun Lihua turned to look at Chu Li and whispered, "Junior Brother Zhao, be careful."
Chu Li nodded.
He realized that this Senior Sister Sun was gentle and kind.
Mo Cuicui smirked and pouted her lips.
The three of them entered the first floor and took their plates and the food they wanted to eat. Then, they found an empty table and sat down.
The first floor of the Flavorful Tower was similar to the buffets in hotels in his past life. They could order whatever they wanted as long as it was not wasteful. The best part was that they did not have to pay for their meals.
Not long after they sat down, Song Donglin brought their plates to their table and sat down opposite Sun Lihua. He chuckled and said, "I hope I'm not bothering you?"
Mo Cuicui smiled and picked up her plate. "I won't bother you then, Junior Brother Zhao!"
Chu Li reluctantly picked up his plate and smiled at Song Donglin.
Sun Lihua said, "What are you doing?"
