"Senior Brother Ji!" Li Ruolan smiled sweetly.
Her charming eyes suddenly became clear and moving, and her eyes were full of tenderness, as if they were filled with limpid autumn water.
Chu Li's heart sank and he sighed to himself. It was obvious that Li Ruolan liked Senior Brother Ji!
Senior Brother Ji was dressed in a green robe. He cupped his fists and revealed a handsome smile. He let out a long sigh of relief. "I finally made it!"
"Senior Brother Ji, why are you here?" Li Ruolan asked.
Senior Brother Ji said, "I accidentally heard that you've gone to the Qiu Dynasty. The masters of the Qiu Dynasty are very powerful. How can a weak lady like you not be in danger after being hunted down for thousands of miles? I've come to help you!"
His gaze fell upon Chu Li. "This is …?"
"This is Junior Brother Zhao Dahe!" Li Ruolan took off her veil and smiled sweetly. "Fortunately, Junior Brother Zhao helped me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have succeeded this time!"
"Zhao Dahe, Junior Brother Zhao." Senior Brother Ji gave a fist salute and smiled. "I'm Ji Xin, thank you!"
He knew of Zhao Dahe's name. All thirty-six patrols knew of this prodigy. Li Ruolan was lucky to have met such a prodigy. Not only did Zhao Dahe have an outstanding talent in martial arts, but he was also born in the countryside. His intelligence was extraordinary, and his actions were unexpected. He could do what others could not, and his future was boundless.
Chu Li gave a fist salute and said, "I'm just following orders. There's no need to thank me. I should be thanking Senior Sister Li for saving my life."
"Junior Brother Zhao, are you injured?" Ji Xin asked.
Chu Li nodded. "He was crippled of his martial arts."
"Martial arts are useless!" Ji Xin was shocked as he sized him up. He shook his head and sighed. "What a pity. Fortunately, Junior Brother Zhao, you're still young. You can cultivate again. Don't be discouraged!"
"Junior Brother Zhao has mastered the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. He'll be able to recover his martial arts very soon," Li Ruolan said with a smile.
"He has actually mastered the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture!" Ji Xin's expression changed slightly as he looked at Qin Huaichuan in surprise. "I can't believe that there's someone else besides Junior Brother Qin Huaichuan who can cultivate this. You're indeed a genius!"
Chu Li said, "It was Senior Brother Qin who taught it to me."
"How rare!" Ji Xin exclaimed, "I'm afraid that the two of you are the only ones in the Holy Church who have managed to cultivate this. Junior Brother Zhao is indeed extraordinary … Let's go. You're being hunted down by Hai Cang Mountain, aren't you?"
Li Ruolan excitedly recounted what had happened.
Ji Xin sighed emotionally. "I can't believe I managed to kill two of Hai Cang Mountain's elders. This is a great contribution!"
"I'm just assisting. All the credit belongs to Senior Sister Li," Chu Li said calmly.
Ji Xin shook his head. "If it weren't for you, Junior Brother Zhao, Junior Sister Li wouldn't have been able to accomplish such a shocking feat."
"Senior Brother Ji!" Li Ruolan pouted.
Ji Xin chuckled. "Alright, Junior Sister Li, you're very impressive too."
Li Ruolan rolled her eyes at him.
Chu Li shook his head and turned his gaze away. He did not want to look at them.
"Junior Brother Zhao, are you feeling unwell?" Ji Xin noticed that Chu Li did not look well and quickly asked, "Do you want to find a place to rest?"
Chu Li shook his head. "Let's go back as soon as possible. We need to meditate and recuperate."
"Yes, yes, we need to recover our martial arts as soon as possible," Ji Xin quickly said. "Junior Sister Li, I'll bring Junior Brother Zhao along so that we can leave faster too."
As he spoke, he pushed Li Ruolan away and placed his palm on Chu Li's back.
Li Ruolan said helplessly, "I'm fine."
"After all, you've been through a fight. I'll do it." Ji Xin shook his head. "Let's go."
As he spoke, he glided on the ground at an incredible speed.
On the other hand, Li Ruolan went to his other side. While she talked to him, she used her Light-body Technique and left Chu Li in the cold.
Chu Li decided that out of sight, out of mind.
Even though he did not have any improper thoughts towards Li Ruolan and was only teasing her a little to match his identity and personality, it was not right for a country bumpkin like Li Ruolan to not be moved by the care and protection of a beautiful woman like her.
However, Chu Li still felt uncomfortable when he saw that Li Ruolan was in love with Senior Brother Ji and did not avoid him at all. This was a man's nature. He wished that all beautiful women would belong to him.
Li Ruolan asked, "Senior Brother Ji, what happened to the outer mountain disciple that you received?"
"He's dead." Ji Xin sighed. "He wasn't lucky enough."
"What a pity." Li Ruolan sighed softly. "Senior Brother Ji, don't be sad. Life and death are fated."
"It's my mistake. I shouldn't have rushed him to train." Ji Xin shook his head and looked guilty. "He'll be fine after a few more years of training."
"If he's unlucky, it'll be useless even if he trained for a few more years," Li Ruolan said.
Ji Xin shook his head. "I was a little anxious when I saw that you've been leading Junior Brother Zhao so smoothly and managed to enter the Great Light Peak in just a few months. It's all my fault. I'm really not suitable to be the guide. I've already reported to the Saint that I'll no longer receive outer mountain disciples."
"Senior Brother Ji, you're too extreme!" Li Ruolan frowned in dissatisfaction. "If you don't receive disciples, you'll have to run around. It's too dangerous!"
"I'm not afraid of danger." Ji Xin said, "As long as my conscience is at peace."
"You only think about yourself and don't think about others!" Li Ruolan was annoyed. "What if something happens to you? What will happen to the people who care about you?"
Ji Xin chuckled. "I've overcome so many obstacles. If I'm supposed to die, I would've died a long time ago. I'm lucky to be able to become a patrol from the foot of the mountain. Junior Sister Li, you don't have to worry about me."
He turned to look at Chu Li and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Zhao, our backgrounds are similar. I was also a country bumpkin who entered the Great Light Peak. In the end, I've come this far. Your aptitude is better than mine. Work hard and strive to become an Altar Leader, or even a Priest!"
Chu Li nodded.
It was no wonder that Li Ruolan was so kind to him. It was because his background was similar to Ji Xin's.
Li Ruolan smiled at Ji Xin. "Junior Brother Zhao, you have a bright future ahead of you. If there are no accidents, it won't be difficult for you to become a Priest."
"That's true." Ji Xin smiled faintly.
Chu Li said, "Senior Sister Zhao, you flatter me. It's not that easy to become a Priest!"
"You have martial arts and intelligence. As long as you're not that unlucky, you'll become a Priest!" Li Ruolan said, "So don't get distracted. Work hard and you'll become a Priest sooner or later!"
Chu Li smiled.
"Then we'll have to curry favor with you in advance." Ji Xin smiled. "A future Priest."
Chu Li said, "Senior Brother Ji, please don't make fun of me!"
Ji Xin smiled. "Junior Sister Li never exaggerates. Since she said that you have the qualifications to become a Priest, there's a high chance that you'll become a Priest. Work hard."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Ji," Chu Li said. His expression changed and he pointed diagonally opposite him. "Be careful!"
"Tss!" A bolt of lightning shot out from under his feet and shot toward Chu Li.
Li Ruolan immediately rushed forward.
"Ding …" Her long sword was deflected and her body froze.
Ji Xin saw that the situation was not good and was about to let go of Chu Li to rush forward.
Suddenly, a strong suction force came from Chu Li's back and stuck to his palm. Then, the inner energy in his body surged into Chu Li's body like a flood.
"Tss!" Chu Li swung his right hand and a blade light shot out.
"Ding …" The long sword that was aimed at Li Ruolan quickly blocked the flying blade.
