"Senior Brother Ji was intercepted by the Tempest Temple's monks?" Li Ruolan looked up from the dossier and looked at Sun Mingyue. "How did Senior Brother Ji offend the Tempest Temple?"
"He went to Crouching Bull Mountain to collect secret manuals!" Sun Mingyue shook her head and her eyes flickered. "There's a genius in Crouching Bull Mountain, the young master of Crouching Bull Mountain, Zhuge Tian. His swordsmanship is superb and Liu Yunxin was almost defeated by him. She dared not go there again and sent Ji Xin to take a look while Zhuge Tian was in isolated cultivation. She didn't expect the Tempest Temple's monks to be in Crouching Bull Mountain!"
"Crouching Bull Mountain and the Tempest Temple don't seem to have anything to do with each other?" Li Ruolan muttered.
Patrols like them were familiar with the situation in the Ji Dynasty's martial arts world. Since they were going to invade the Ji Dynasty, they could go there to gather information.
"Nothing to do with them." Sun Mingyue shook her head. "Crouching Bull Mountain saw through our plan and sent reinforcements with the Tempest Temple. The Tempest Temple wanted to stop us, so they sent a few masters over."
"Senior Brother Ji was too careless!" Li Ruolan sighed.
Sun Mingyue said, "He underestimated his enemies and looked down on the Ji Dynasty's martial arts world. He didn't know that although the Ji Dynasty is weak, the four major sects are very powerful and won't be easy to deal with."
If Ji Xin was more cautious, he would have seen the Tempest Temple's monks in advance and would not have been discovered by them. However, he was careless and thought that Crouching Bull Mountain was nothing to worry about. He could walk on flat ground and ended up in trouble.
"Saint, is there any martial arts in Crouching Bull Mountain that's worth us fighting for?" Li Ruolan was confused. "It's just a declining sect. It's not worth it, right?"
"Crouching Bull Power has its own uniqueness," Sun Mingyue said. "If you can master it, you can become an Enlightened Master."
"Ah …" Li Ruolan sighed and returned the dossier with both hands. "I'm afraid that Senior Brother Ji is in danger!"
She was still hopeful that Ji Xin would be trapped in the Ji Dynasty 'martial arts world because he was outnumbered. However, she was disappointed when she saw the Tempest Temple.
The monks of the Tempest Temple were not inferior to the disciples of the Holy Church of Light. Moreover, there were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there were plenty of masters there. It was very likely that any nameless monk who came out of the Tempest Temple would be a top-notch master, just like the Holy Church of Light. Any monk from the Ninth Peak would be able to dominate an area even if he was not famous. Unfortunately, the seniors of the Ninth Peak rarely went out and no longer cared about secular affairs. Unless it was related to the survival of the sect, they would not go out.
"Yes, it doesn't bode well." Sun Mingyue nodded. "You should go and take a look. Be careful and don't get yourself into trouble. What if he hasn't fallen into the hands of the Tempest Temple yet? Ji Xin is quite smart."
"Yes." Li Ruolan nodded solemnly.
Without help, it was impossible for him to save Senior Brother Ji on his own.
"Saint, I'd like to ask Zhao Dahe for help," Li Ruolan said.
Sun Mingyue said, "Zhao Dahe might not be able to help you now!"
"Even if Zhao Dahe hasn't recovered his cultivation level, his Light Blade is far superior to mine!" Li Ruolan quickly said.
Sun Mingyue flipped through the files on the table and tossed one to her.
Li Ruolan caught the file and quickly flipped through it. An angry expression appeared on her charming face. "That Qin Huaichuan!"
"Don't blame Qin Huaichuan for being sinister and vicious. Blame Zhao Dahe for being arrogant and willful." Sun Mingyue smiled faintly. "With his intelligence, how can he not see that this is Qin Huaichuan's scheme? He knew it was a trap but he still stepped into it. Who else can he blame? "
"The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture can't restore one's cultivation level?" Li Ruolan frowned.
Sun Mingyue said, "As far as I know, it doesn't have such a magical effect."
"Qin Huaichuan!" Li Ruolan gritted her teeth and scoffed. "How sinister!"
"This is a trap that he dug for Zhao Dahe in advance … Both of them are not easy to deal with." Sun Mingyue calmly said, "He dug a trap for Zhao Dahe, and Zhao Dahe dug a trap for Zhao Dahe. It's just a matter of who's going to be the first to fall into the trap. Right now, both of them are evenly matched and it's hard to tell who's better."
"How can he be compared to Zhao Dahe!" Li Ruolan curled her red lips and scoffed. "He's just playing petty tricks!"
"Yes, that's true." Sun Mingyue said, "Qin Huaichuan's vision is still too small. After all, he's limited by his environment. If he can be let out to gain experience, he'll naturally be more knowledgeable and useful."
"My Saint, are you going to allow such a sinister person to stay in the church?" Li Ruolan asked in dissatisfaction.
"It's great to be tolerant. There's no such thing as a pure good and evil person. As long as he doesn't violate the church's rules and doesn't do anything detrimental to the Holy Church, he'll be tolerated," Sun Mingyue said.
Li Ruolan sighed. "I still need Zhao Dahe's help."
"He doesn't have the strength to help you now," Sun Mingyue said. "You have a superstition about him and think that he's omnipotent, don't you?"
"Indeed, he can do what others can't," Li Ruolan said seriously.
"He might not be willing to go," Sun Mingyue said. "Don't you know how he feels about you? Ji Xin is his rival in love. If Ji Xin is in a desperate situation, would he risk his life to save him? "
"He's different from Qin Huaichuan. He's kind by nature," Li Ruolan said confidently. "He'll definitely agree."
"You …" Sun Mingyue shook her head. "You're already a patrol, yet you're still so naive. Rivals in love are always at each other's throats. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a femme fatale that would endanger the country."
"I'll convince him to help me," Li Ruolan said firmly.
"You can try," Sun Mingyue said. "I'm guessing that Ji Xin has escaped to Fairy's Capital of the Ji Dynasty. Only by entering Fairy's Capital, the Tempest Temple will be restrained and won't dare to go against him. Only then will there be a chance of survival."
"… Yes," Li Ruolan said. "I'll go then."
"Don't force yourself if you can't save him," Sun Mingyue said. "I don't want to lose two patrols at once!"
"Yes." Li Ruolan gave a fist salute and turned to leave.
She was full of confidence when she walked to the foot of the mountain, but when she reached the ravine, she was a little hesitant.
Zhao Dahe was a smart man. How could he not notice that she had deliberately distanced herself and treated him coldly? How could he not be angry?
She had not visited him all this while and had given him the cold shoulder. Now that she had finally come, it was because of Senior Brother Ji. What would he think if she asked him to risk his life to save Junior Brother Ji?
If it were someone else, they would also feel that she had gone overboard.
Her footsteps were hesitant, and her charming face was full of hesitation as she stood outside the ravine.
The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was filled with the afterglow. It dyed her and her surroundings red.
"Senior Sister Li?" Xu Jingya's voice was heard.
She was too preoccupied with her thoughts that she did not notice that someone was approaching. She quickly turned around to look.
Xu Jingya and Zhao Dahe were standing nearby and looking at her.
"Have you eaten?" Li Ruolan asked with a smile.
Xu Jingya gave a fist salute. "We have. Senior Sister Li, are you looking for Junior Brother Zhao?"
"Yes." Li Ruolan nodded and looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li calmly gave a fist salute. "Senior Sister Li, if you have anything to say, you can say it here."
Xu Jingya said, "I'll take my leave first."
She gave Li Ruolan another fist salute before she walked into the ravine and disappeared.
