Qin Huaichuan's expression remained unchanged as he slowly picked up the tray and began to choose the dishes. His other hand was clenched so tightly in his sleeve that it had turned blue. He almost could not resist the urge to rush forward and cripple Chu Li, even if it meant that his martial arts would be crippled and he would be expelled from the Great Light Peak.
However, the last shred of rationality stopped him. The sky was high and the earth was high, and the days were long. In the future, he would just have to get his revenge. No one could always win a battle. Losing a battle was nothing. With the experience, he had to improve his techniques!
Meng Luo looked at the calm Qin Huaichuan worriedly and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Qin, let me do it. I'll perish together with him!"
Qin Huaichuan frowned at him. "Perish together? Not worth it! "
"But this kid is too arrogant!" Meng Luo said hatefully, "Now that they have something on us, they won't let us off easily. Today, it's the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. Who knows what it will be tomorrow!"
"Let's avoid him for now." Qin Huaichuan scoffed. "He's so arrogant. I don't believe that he won't make a mistake. Find an opportunity and kill him in one strike!"
"Alright." Meng Luo nodded slowly. "Let this kid be arrogant for a few more days. If he wants to be destroyed, he'll have to go crazy first. Let's see how long he can be arrogant for!"
Qin Huaichuan broke into a smile.
Sun Li Hua furrowed her brows and looked at Chu Li who was beaming with pride. "Junior Brother Zhao, you should be careful of Senior Brother Qin. Don't offend him too much."
"We're already enemies. How can I not be ruthless?" Chu Li scoffed and said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister Sun. He's just a coward now. He won't dare to act recklessly. I'll deal with him however I want!"
Mo Cuicui snorted.
Chu Li grinned as he glanced at Mo Cuicui. "Senior Sister Mo, if I were to report this to the Saint and tell her that Altar Leader Mo had framed me, a new disciple, how would he be punished? Would he be demoted from an Altar Master to a Branch Master? Or demote to an ordinary follower? "
"Hmph, it's not like my father did it himself!" Mo Cuicui said disdainfully. "Go ahead and report him. At most, my father will be reprimanded!"
"That might not be the case." Chu Li smiled and said, "I've already familiarized myself with the Church's rules. In a situation like this, the punishment that the Altar Leader will receive will be more severe. The lightest punishment will be to become a regular member of the Church, and the heaviest punishment will be to cripple his martial arts."
"Hmph!" Mo Cuicui sneered.
Her heart was pounding.
The Holy Church of Light's attitude toward its disciples was very extreme. Before becoming an inner mountain disciple, disciples were treated like weeds. No matter how talented they were, they would still be thrown into dangerous situations to struggle. If they could not struggle out, they would die. However, once they became an inner mountain disciple, they would immediately be strictly protected by the church's rules.
Fratricide was the most intolerable thing, especially when the higher-ups harmed the lower-ups. The punishment was even more severe than fratricide. No matter how fiercely the Cult's disciples fought, they were not allowed to raise it to their own safety.
Chu Li grinned and said, "Senior Sister Mo, if I'm unhappy, I don't know what I'll do. What if I get hot-headed and meet the Saint? Who knows if I'll report Altar Leader Mo!"
Mo Cuicui gritted her teeth and glared at him.
Chu Li laughed. "Look at you, you're quite scary."
Mo Cuicui snorted and said, "Zhao, you can be smug all you want!"
"This is a rare opportunity!" Chu Li chuckled. "Of course, I have to be proud of myself!"
"Be careful that extreme joy begets sorrow!" Mo Cuicui warned.
Chu Li replied, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister Mo. I'll be careful."
Sun Lihua said, "Alright, Junior Brother Zhao, we're all from the same faction, and we're both from the Sutra Library. Let's not be at loggerheads. We'll still have to face our enemies together in the future."
Chu Li nodded and smiled. "Senior Sister Sun has a point."
He then asked, "Senior Sister Sun, who are Cui Da and Cui Er's parents?"
"They're masters from the Fourth Peak," Sun Lihua replied. "They're both swordsmanship masters. They've mastered the Divine Light Sword and have contributed a lot to the Holy Church of Light."
Chu Li asked, "Will they come after me?"
"… I don't think so." Sun Lihua shook her head. "They're both righteous and reasonable people. Cui Da was the one who violated the Church's rules. No one forced him to do so. He ignored the rules and ended up like this. You can't be blamed."
"I don't think so." Song Donglin shook his head. "No matter how reasonable they are, they can't be fair when it comes to children. Junior Brother Zhao, you should be careful."
Chu Li nodded.
"Kacha!" A flash of lightning lit up the entire Flavorful Tower.
Chu Li was shocked. "Is it going to rain?"
"The weather at the Great Light Peak can change at will." Song Donglin smiled. "You'll get used to it. I guess there'll be a rainstorm."
"Boom …" The ground shook and the mountains shook. Thunder rumbled as if it was the end of the world.
The entire Flavorful Tower seemed to be shaking as if it was going to collapse.
Song Donglin and the others looked calm and unaffected.
Chu Li asked, "It's going to be a rainstorm, right?"
Song Donglin nodded. "It will be, but rain comes and goes quickly at the Great Light Peak. It'll stop after we finish our meal, so don't worry about it. The martial arts field isn't afraid of rain at all."
Chu Li nodded.
Mo Cuicui gloated. "It won't affect us, but it'll affect the Spirit Medicine Nursery. Don't you need to run back?"
Chu Li frowned.
Mo Cuicui chuckled. "From what I know, the Golden Glow Grass you planted is most afraid of waterlogging. You'll have to cover it with a cloth during a rainy day like this. Otherwise, it'll be drenched to death and won't live past the next day."
"That seems to be the case." Song Donglin nodded. "Junior Brother Zhao, you should hurry back."
Chu Li shook his head. "There's no need."
"After this rain, you probably won't have a chance to participate in the martial arts competition next year!" Mo Cuicui giggled. "Just stay in the Spirit Medicine Nursery!"
"It's not bad to stay in the Spirit Medicine Nursery. I can exchange spirit herbs for pills," Chu Li said.
"Haha!" Mo Cuicui laughed exaggeratedly.
"Senior Sister Mo, you don't believe me?"
"Haha, you're so imaginative!"
"Then, do you dare to bet with me, Senior Sister Mo?"
"Sure, what are we betting on?"
"If I can exchange spirit herbs for pills, Senior Sister Mo will call me Senior Brother and serve me my dishes every time I eat."
"In your dreams!" Mo Cuicui scoffed.
Chu Li smiled. "It's fine if you don't dare to. It seems like you still believe that I can do it."
"You can't!"
"Do you dare to bet with me?"
"Sure!" Mo Cuicui scoffed. "What if you lose?"
"If I lose, I'll avoid you!" Chu Li said. "I'll avoid you every time I see you!"
"Alright!" Mo Cuicui agreed without hesitation. "Let's do it. Senior Sister Sun and Senior Brother Song will be the witnesses. Don't let him go back on his word!"
"Sigh …" Sun Lihua shook her head.
Song Donglin smiled. "Alright, let's do it."
Chu Li smiled. "Junior Sister Mo, just you wait!"
"Senior Sister Mo!" Mo Cuicui scoffed. "You haven't won yet!"
"It's only a matter of time." Chu Li waved his hand. "You can't win!"
"Rumble …" Another thunderclap was heard. Bean-sized raindrops fell and splashed all around them.
Mo Cuicui pointed at him and laughed. "It's raining so heavily. How dare you talk big here? Let's see how you cry!"
Chu Li said confidently, "I'm going to win!"
Sun Lihua looked at Chu Li worriedly.
Chu Li's disguise as Zhao Dahe was ugly, but she did not dislike him. Her father's face was disfigured due to his injuries. His original handsomeness had turned into ugliness, but he was still cheerful and generous. He did not feel inferior or irritable because of this. She admired him very much and did not dislike ugly people.
