Li Ruolan asked, "Is Senior Brother Zhou still free?"
"Zhou Jinchun?" Sun Mingyue muttered, "He just came back. Alright, I'll let him go with you."
"Thank you, Saint." Li Ruolan gave a fist salute.
Sun Mingyue called for someone outside and a disciple quickly went to inform Zhou Jinchun.
Sun Mingyue looked at her and shook her head. "I thought you'd let Zhao Dahe go."
Li Ruolan shook her head.
"Logically speaking, Zhao Dahe is more suitable. He's much more powerful than Zhou Jinchun and has a better rapport with you. Why don't you let him go?" Sun Mingyue looked at her curiously with a faint smile.
"His martial arts is powerful but we fought." Li Ruolan shook her head. "It's awkward to stay together, especially when Senior Brother Ji is there."
"It's awkward when two love rivals are together." Sun Mingyue chuckled. "Zhao Dahe is more broad-minded than I thought and likes you more than I thought."
"He …?" Li Ruolan gritted her teeth and scoffed. "He's changed now. He's more overbearing and difficult to get along with. His attitude towards me isn't as good as before. It's infuriating!"
"He's jealous." Sun Mingyue said, "But he didn't take the opportunity to harm Ji Xin. He's very useful."
Li Ruolan sighed and nodded slowly.
Although he was extremely angry with Chu Li and wanted to slap him, he was still grateful deep down. After all, he had risked his life to save Senior Brother Ji. If it was someone else, he would have pretended to be helpless and stood by the side. He would not have suspected anything and could only watch as Senior Brother Ji fell into the hands of the Tempest Temple.
Sun Mingyue said, "Although Zhao Dahe looks like a boorish person, he's actually very daring and meticulous. Moreover, he's also quite resourceful. He's much better at handling matters than you and Ji Xin, yet you insist on choosing Zhou Jinchun. Don't regret this in the future!"
"I won't regret it!" Li Ruolan gritted her teeth.
She was furious at the thought of him and wanted to scold him. She did not want to see his ugly face.
Sun Mingyue shook her head.
A burly man came in and fist saluted. "Greetings, Saint!"
"Zhou Jinchun, you'll have to go down the mountain again." Sun Mingyue's face darkened and her eyes turned cold. "Follow Li Ruolan and Ji Xin to Falling Autumn City."
"Yes," Zhou Jinchun answered loudly.
"You're here to deliver pills to Falling Autumn City." Sun Mingyue said, "You know how dangerous it will be once the news gets out, so the three of you must move stealthily. Try not to walk on the main road, and don't ride a horse. Use your lightness skill, and you should be able to arrive in four days and four nights."
"No problem!" Zhou Jinchun said, "Rest assured, Saint, I will definitely complete the mission!"
Sun Mingyue said, "When the three of you work together, you have to succeed no matter what. Failure is not an option. Otherwise, the consequences will be huge, and it might even affect the situation between the Li Dynasty and the Qiu Dynasty. Do you understand?"
"Yes." Zhou Jinchun and Li Ruolan gave a fist salute at the same time.
"Go!" Sun Mingyue waved her hand.
The two left the [Light Palace].
Seeing them leave, Sun Mingyue raised her voice and said, "Guards."
A green-clothed girl gracefully walked in.
"Summon Zhao Dahe here," Sun Mingyue said.
"Yes." The green-robed girl replied in a crisp voice and left gracefully.

The night was hazy. Li Ruolan was dressed in a green robe and her face was covered with a white veil. Ji Xin and Zhou Jinchun were also dressed in green robes. They quietly left the Great Light Peak and sneaked into a forest to prevent anyone from following them.
After running for the entire night, they stopped in front of a forest the next morning.
Li Ruolan swung her sword and easily cut down a few trees, creating an empty space. Then, they sat on a tree stump to rest.
"Junior Sister Li, your sword is so sharp." Zhou Jinchun smiled and said, "Can I borrow it for a look?"
Li Ruolan casually tossed the longsword to him.
Zhou Jinchun carefully caught it and studied it. The more he looked at it, the more he was amazed. "This is a real god weapon. It's amazing!"
Ji Xin looked at her in shock.
He did not know that Li Ruolan had a real god weapon.
Zhou Jinchun said, "I don't think there are many in the Great Light Peak. We only have a limited number of them. Yu Ying … doesn't have this sword."
Li Ruolan nodded. "This is the sword that we snatched from Hai Cang Mountain."
"Hai Cang Mountain … No wonder!" Zhou Jinchun came to a realization.
Ji Xin nodded and understood.
Zhou Jinchun played with the sword for a while and reluctantly handed it back to Li Ruolan. "Such a god weapon is really amazing. It's a marvelous work of art. A god weapon made in heaven!"
Li Ruolan smiled faintly. She felt that the sword was extremely sharp and easy to use. It was indeed worthy of being called a god weapon as it had improved her ability.
Zhou Jinchun said, "Those who can use a god weapon like this are definitely not ordinary disciples from Hai Cang Mountain. They must be top-notch masters. You're really capable to snatch the sword from them. I'm impressed!"
Li Ruolan said, "It's just a coincidence."
Zhou Jinchun shook his head. "There's no such thing as a coincidence in a fight between masters. Junior Sister Li, you're not inferior to men. You've outshone us."
Li Ruolan said, "Senior Brother Zhou, you flatter me."
Zhou Jinchun smiled. "Junior Brother Ji, both of us can't compare to Junior Sister Li. Junior Sister Li will definitely become an Altar Leader in the future. I'm afraid we won't stand a chance."
Ji Xin said, "This battle is a good opportunity. If we make a few contributions, we might be promoted to an Altar Leader."
"That's true." Zhou Jinchun smiled. "How can a man like us be willing to lose to Junior Sister Li?"
Li Ruolan suddenly frowned and pondered.
Ji Xin quickly asked, "Junior Sister Li?"
"I think someone's here," Li Ruolan said.
Zhou Jinchun and Ji Xin's expressions changed.
Li Ruolan said, "I wonder if they're here for us."
"Let's descend the peak quietly. Besides, no one else will know about this so the news won't be leaked!" Ji Xin frowned.
Zhou Jinchun said, "I haven't told anyone."
Ji Xin and Li Ruolan shook their heads.
Zhou Jinchun smiled. "Maybe we've been nervous for nothing. They're not here for us."
"They're here for us!" Li Ruolan frowned. "Let's go!"
As soon as she finished speaking, six figures glided toward them like six gusts of wind and surrounded them.
She did not expect these six people to be so skilled in Light-body Techniques. Their speed was beyond her imagination.
"Who are you?" Zhou Jinchun shouted. "Ask them clearly before you attack. Don't make a mistake!"
He looked at the six people. They were all middle-aged men and the leader was thin and short.
"Disciples of the Holy Church of Light?" The short and thin man's voice was hoarse as he looked at the three of them in disdain. Although he was shorter than them, he looked down on them. "Their cultivation levels are nothing!"
"Who are you?" Zhou Jinchun scoffed. "How arrogant!"
"We're from Royal Blade Palace!" The short and thin man scoffed arrogantly and puffed his chest out.
Zhou Jinchun looked at the blades on their waists and nodded slowly. "So, you're disciples of Royal Blade Palace. How dare you come to the Li Dynasty!"
Royal Blade Palace was one of the four major sects of the Qiu Dynasty and their blade techniques were exquisite.
"We're here to teach the Holy Church of Light a lesson!" The short and thin man said proudly, "We've been waiting at the foot of the Great Light Peak for a long time before we finally met you. The Great Light Peak has disappointed us. You call yourself the number one sect in the Li Dynasty but you're only a small fry!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he drew his blade. The blade gleamed brightly. "Stop talking nonsense. Let's fight!"
"Whoosh!" The blade gleamed brightly and turned into a ball of silver light that shrouded Zhou Jinchun.
