Of course she was familiar with Chu Li's background. Having grown up in the Autumn Temple, he had been building his dharmic base since he was a kid. Amongst his peers, he was the strongest.
Even though the dharmic influences of the Tempest Temple were far more intense than the ones of the normal temples, Chu Li could probably handle it. Afterall, he grew up living and breathing dharmic values. His dharmic base was ranked far higher than most people. He might just be as good as the followers of the Tempest Temple.
"Practising martial arts from the Tempest Temple depends on one's dharmic base, the stronger they are, the faster and safer they master the techniques. However just because you have a strong dharmic base does not completely discount you of all risks. As soon as you feel like you're losing control of your killing intent, you should stop immediately!" Xiao Qi warned.
Chu Li nodded and smiled as he said, "I'll be careful, we'll see how it goes."
"There's no need to rush," Xiao Qi waved her hand. "The Sentient Menace is very hard to train. If you don't have the foundation of the Tempest Temple, learning it would be slow."
Chu Li arched his eyebrows.
Su Ru smiled. "But if he actually completes it, it would be really amazing!"
Xiao Qi glanced at her.
Su Ru quickly smiled. "But of course, it would really troublesome. If the people from the Tempest Temple find out, they will definitely do something about it!"
"They'll cripple me?"
"Of course!"
"Is that a little too extra?"
"They are known for being 'extra', hence no one dared to oppose them. The other three sects simply don't stand a chance against them!"
"... I see," Chu Li nodded.
"I'll tread carefully. Has the Public House not tried to take them down?"
"It'd just be a waste of time and effort." Su Ru waved her hands. "They aren't under our jurisdiction either. We'll let the Zhong Public House worry about them."
Chu Li furrowed his brows. "Can the Zhong's Public House deal with them?"
He did not believe it. The Public House was definitely weaker than the temple. If it were stronger, the temple would have already been taken down already. No matter how strong the Zhong Public House believed they were, it was impossible to take the Tempest Temple down.
"There still exists a form of check and balance.," Su Ru looked over to Xiao Qi. "no matter what the Tempest Temple doesn't dare to burn bridges with the Public Houses. After all, there's still the Imperial Court."
As powerful as the Tempest Temple was, they would not dare to go against the Imperial Court alone. A temple opposing an entire dynasty? Even if they somehow win, the ramifications of that would be huge, and the other three sects would definitely seize the opportunity to take them down.
"Lady Xiao! Are there any other martial arts resources related to the Tempest Temple in the Public House?"
"Chu Li, have you already thought it through and set your heart to learn it regardless?"
Chu Li nodded. "I would like to see just how intriguing the techniques of the Tempest Temple truly are."
"... Alright," Xiao Qi nodded. "Follow me!"
Three of them boarded the boat and floated over to the Jade Guardian Island.
The lantern lights on the island were as bright as day. Under the shine of the lights, all the ornaments and painted buildings looked like gods and goddesses resided in them.
The three of them arrived at the StarStargazing Tower. Xiao Qi opened a drawer and took out a box. She opened the box and took out a golden colored book which she handed to Chu Li.
"This is the Tempest Temple's most basic heart technique."
Chu Li took the book, it was made of neither paper nor cloth. It felt a little weird. There were a few words on it. "Buddha's Devil Desolation Scripture."
Chu Li furrowed his brows. He flipped the book and realized it was a buddhist scripture.
"This is the introductory heart technique practiced by all members of the Tempest Temple. The heart technique protects the temple and can be used to repress the evil intent inside you."
Xiao Qi shook her head.
"As long as you're capable of reaching the first level of it, you'll be able to learn the martial arts of the Tempest Temple. Those that are unable to pass the introductory level can't learn the martial arts of the temple."
"Very well…."
Chu Li flipped through the book, immediately memorizing everything as he scanned it with the Omniscient Mirror.
The scripture was powerful beyond comprehension; it contained religious text that promised an elevation of one's state of consciousness if they comprehended. Some parts of the scripture were chants. Upon completion of those chants, one would be able to directly receive spiritual force and wisdom from the third heavens. Some parts of it required projection paired with meditation to unravel treasures within one's own consciousness.
"It's useless," Xiao Qi continued. "It is said that prior to the practicing the Buddha's Devil Desolation Scripture, one has to be enlightened, which is why it has not been passed down to outsiders. Their absurd confidence and lack of fear of it being leaked to outsiders stem from the fact that anyone who learns it will die!"
Chu Li slightly nodded.
There was no way to achieve enlightenment outside of a temple since not just any other person could achieve enlightenment. Simply relying on meditation alone was not enough.
There were probably not that many people who were enlightened in the Tempest Temple either. Even if they were, they would not leave the temple. Hence outsiders would not even bother thinking about getting a glance at the secrets of the Tempest Temple.
"Lady Xiao is trying to make me give up, is that right?" Chu Li returned the book.
"I know you're a smart one. You usually break the rules and do what the others here can't do, thereby achieving things others can't," Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li smiled.
"But you still need to careful with these types of things. It isn't that easy to learn the Sentient Menace!"
"Alright, if I don't manage anything out of it, I'll give up." Chu Li said.
Xiao Qi nodded. "That would be the best option."
Truly she did all of this in order to dissuade him as much as possible, or at least reduce his confidence. If he had actually put all of himself into learning the Sentient Menace, it might destroy him.
The smart ones were always over-confident. No matter how they tried to convince Chu Li, it would not make a difference. He would only give up when he finally hits a wall.
Allowing him to see the scripture was to plant a seed of doubt within him. Without mastering the heart technique, he would not be able to learn the Sentient Menace. So he would just practise it casually without much hope for success, rather than blindly dive into it with excessive confidence and land himself in danger.
"Su Ru," Xiao Qi called.
"Yes." Su Ru answered knowing what she needed to do. She walked around the same drawer and took out a small jade bottle from the other side. It was as small as a thumb, sparkling white and translucent.
She handed the bottle to Chu Li.
"Chu Li, this is the seed of the Andromeda, see if you can successfully grow it."
"The Andromeda?" Chu Li tried to search for it in his mind. He found it really relatively quickly, and exclaimed, "You really need it?"
"Hmm. I am using it for cultivation," Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li furrowed his brows and looked at her.
"No worries, I am aware of the side effects," Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li nodded. The Andromeda was very pretty, but it also triggered hallucinations. If one had came into contact with its nectar, one would have the urge to kill oneself. A lot of people could not recognize it, and they only thought that it was splendid and beautiful so they would plant them in their garden. In the end, they all succumbed to it.
Su Ru rolled her eyes at him. "You talk too much! Lady Xiao wants to use it for medication and cultivation. So can you do it?"
Chu Li smiled. "I will try."
"Try?" Su Ru angrily replied, "This flower is very important!"
Chu Li looked over to Xiao Qi and smiled. "Yes! I will definitely succeed in planting it!"
"Now that's what I'm expecting!"
"The heart technique I train is different from the others, I need this flower to train my temperament," Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li nodded. "Yes, you need not worry, Lady Xiao. I will try my best to bloom it as soon as possible."
"Mmhmm." Xiao Qi nodded. "You don't have to worry about the Raging Tiger Troupe, I'll handle it."
"Thank you, Lady Xiao!" Chu Li wrapped his fists and tactfully left.
…
The wind at the lake was extremely humid as it gently lifted Su Ru's sleeves.
She stood at the shore and quietly looked over at the lake water afar.
"Chu Li, you have to keep the Andromeda a secret. And you have to plant it as soon as possible!"
Chu Li nodded,"Why does Lady Xiao need it so much?"
"It is the key to her cultivation." Su Ru turned and looked at him with her eyes that were as clear as water. "with the Andromeda, she can improve her cultivation levels and feel a little better."
"I will try my best." Chu Li nodded.
Su Ru tilted her head and looked at him. "Are you not curious as to what heart technique Lady Xiao is cultivating?"
Chu Li shook his head. "I am not interested."
"You're quite tactful!" Su Ru smiled. "Lady Xiao's martial arts are all from her mother, and Madame was a member of the Green Deer Cliff."
"Eh?" Chu Li was startled.
He had not known about this part of Lady Xiao's background. Green Deer Cliff!
The Green Deer Cliff was one of the top four sects in this world. They were a legendary sect that had existed for thousands of years, their roots ran so deep that even he could not even begin to fathom. He had never thought that Lady Xiao's mother was one of them!
"Madame died young, and she only left a sword technique scripture to Lady Xiao," Su Ru shook her head and said, "I am not sure what Madame was thinking. She could have just passed the martial arts of her sect down to Lady Xiao."
"Maybe there are rules." Chu Li said.
Su Ru rolled her eyes.
"Madame had found this particular sword scripture by chance. No one had cultivated it before and Lady Xiao is looking into it all by herself, albeit very slowly. But because it was passed down by her mom, she must learn it."
"Lady Xiao is already an Innate Master, her progress shouldn't be slow." Chu Li said.
Su Ru got angry. "If it wasn't for this sword scripture, she would probably already be a Grandmaster with her unique qualifications!"
Chu Li smiled.
Su Ru rolled her eyes at him. "Do you not believe me?"
"I do."
"You have no choice but to believe!" Su Ru scoffed, "Lady Xiao has photographic memory, and she can master any martial art that she picks up with ease. If it weren't for this sword scripture… Hmph!"
Chu Li raIsed his brows and nodded.
He had used the Omniscient Mirror on Lady Xiao before. Her vigor was very strong, so Su Ru was not lying about it at all. The first step to becoming a Grandmaster was to have strong vigor, after all. Only with enough vigor could one be qualified to challenge the boundary of the Grandmaster.
The heart technique Xiao Qi was cultivating was very unique, it was similar to the Eye of Insight from Buddhism. It was apparent that this particular sword scripture was a rare item. Madame probably understood its wonders, that was why she insisted Lady Xiao learn it.
The other studies of martial arts, even if cultivated into the boundary of the Gods, still would not be able to reach the level of the Eye of Insight. If a woman could peer into the thoughts of people, there were countless benefits to be had. It was better compared to only knowing martial arts. It was no wonder that Madame had made this choice.
Chu Li knew that other than the Andromeda being powerful, it could also increase one's vigor.
He thought it had been lost in transmission but here it was...he got to see it again!
"You really want to start a restaurant?"
"Mmm."
"I'll grab two chefs over and then we'll rent a shop. We'll have a try first. If it does great then it wouldn't be too late to start a full-blown restaurant by then."
"Thank you, Chief."
"The capital for the shop will be considered as your reward."
"It's alright, I have some money right here."
"Keep them for yourself, it has already been decided!"
"Thanks for footing the bill, Chief."
"We're not going to spend Lady Xiao's money anyway, there's no need to worry." Su Ru smiled and pat his shoulder.
The Deity's Beards were not sold for cheap after all, the military had quite some money to spare too. This time she did not suffer a deficit, she actually earned quite a lot.
...
Chu Li returned to the East Garden and immediately started to plant the Andromeda without a moment's notice.
The seed of the Andromeda was very hard to find. Growing it was no simple matter either. He understood that what mattered the most was to keep it a secret. He had set up a parterre in a place that did not catch too much attention, a place where no outsiders could enter.
The Andromeda grew very slowly. Chu Li moved some the energy from other plants over to help it grow. With the help of the other plants, the flower bloomed in only ten days.
The bright yellow little flower was gloriously pretty. It was perfectly bright, tempting people to hold it in their palms.
In the middle of one night, Xiao Qi and Su Ru arrived at the East Garden.
Li Yue had already went back to his room and was deep asleep while Chu Li had been in the Moonlight Orchid parterre for the past ten days. He had been taking care of the Moonlight Orchid and the Nightmare Flower. Even though it seemed weird, Li Yue did not suspect nor interrupt since that meant that he could just sleep soundly.
Xiao Qi and Su Ru came to him without making a noise.
Xiao Qi was wearing a white gown while Su Ru was wearing her apricot gown. Both of them stood next to each other in front of the Andromeda. They looked at the five splendid yellow flowers. Who would have thought that such brightly coloured flowers would have a name such as the Andromeda.
"How is it, Lady Xiao?"
Chu Li turned his head and asked.
Xiao Qi nodded.
"It's the Andromeda! How did you do it...?"
Chu Li smiled and did not speak a word.
Su Ru rolled her eyes. "So mysterious!... I assume no one found out about it, right?"
"Of course not!" Chu Li nodded.
Su Ru scoffed.
"Seems like you understood! Lady Xiao, shall we pluck them?"
"Hmm." Xiao Qi nodded.
She was very calm and peaceful as usual like nothing in this world could make her lose her composure. She was always like the water under the well, serene and calm.
Chu Li knew that it was her emotions, and maybe it was a consequence of the sword scripture. The scripture could probably suppress one's emotions and keep their spirits calm.
Su Ru stowed the five yellow flowers in a jade box and looked at Chu Li.
"Don't let them bloom anymore first, we'll wait and see if Lady Xiao still needs them or not."
Chu Li nodded.
Xiao Qi said, "Chu Li, the issue with the blessed farmland..."
"Lady Xiao, I had already thought about it. It would be best if the blessed farmland was built on the Jade Guardian Island." Chu Li quickly answered.
Xiao Qi looked at him with her bright eyes.
"It would attract too much attention to build it here, and there simply aren't enough defensive measures."
The blessed farmland was like a huge piece of fat meat, no one could possibly resist themselves. If the defenses were not done properly, there would definitely be people who would risk their lives to get to it. It would even escalate to the point that the East Garden becomes a dangerous location. If it was only him then that would be fine, but he would be putting Li Yue in danger too
Xiao Qi deeply groaned for a moment and nodded. "Hmm, that's good too."
Xiao Qi looked at him and said softly, "You've already started to practise the Sentient Menace, right?"
Chu Li nodded. "I tried to, at least."
"How is it?"
"It's fine."
Chu Li had been training for ten days. The Sentient Menace was truly powerful. It formed a very unique spiritual force. Instead of flowing into the meridians, it piled up between his flesh and bones. When he channeled the Sentient Menace, the energy in his muscles circulated and formed a membrane that was invisible but tough.
There were six layers to the Sentient Menace. The skin, flesh, muscle, meridian, bones and marrow.
His first level had great progress. There was an energy membrane on his skin. It was as tough as the skin of a crocodile. It repelled attacks. Normal knives and swords would not penetrate through.
"Are there any side effects so far?" Xiao Qi looked at him.
"There certainly seems to be something wrong…" Chu Li answered.
Every since he began training the Sentient Menace, he felt his temper surge every now and then. In that moment, anything unpleasant would provoke him and trigger an urge to destroy, yet alone kill.
He was indeed lucky that his dharmic base was really strong. He was able to chant the Buddhist scriptures as soon as he felt like killing. When he felt like he had completely lost control, he would just activate the Omniscient Mirror. As it a was pure and clean energy, his thoughts of killing would immediately disappear.
If it was not for the Omniscient Mirror, he dared not train any longer. He would have definitely transformed into a murderous demon.
He felt that the Head of the Raging Tiger Troupe was probably behaving that way because he was eager to learn the Sentient Menace.
"If it isn't right then stop learning!"
"I'll be more cautious, if I really can't take it then I'll stop."
"You know your limits, right!?" Xiao Qi warned him.
Chu Li quickly nodded.
"We're leaving!" Su Ru waved her hands, and the both of them levitated away.
Chu Li sighed. Their graceful backs had left him feeling despondent. If such beautiful women did not belong to him, it would be such a tragedy!
He woke up and practiced the Delusion Split the next morning while Li Yue was practicing his fist techniques. The courtyard was quite busy.
Suddenly, the jade instrument rang.
Li Yue stopped practising. "I'll go and have a look."
Chu Li's swordplay did not stop. He nodded and continued to wield his blade gently.
Li Yue ran back to the courtyard. Chu Li heard him laugh for a few moments.
"Brother! Look who is here!"
Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror had already sensed it was Zhao Ying. Her lake green gown was flowing. Her great figure and face were as pretty as jade. She was lovely.
She gracefully walked into the courtyard and covered her mouth.
"Brother Chu."
"Sister Zhao Ying!" Chu Li did not stop his swordplay. He smiled. "Come here, let's practice!"
"Okay!" Zhao Ying drew her sword from her scabbard, and hopped in front of him. She immediately struck, showing her elegance. She was like a swallow flying across the lake.
Li Yue was surprised and impressed. He widened his eyes and it looked as if he was not blinking at all.
Chu Li's swordplay was still slow. He wielded it to the left and then the right slowly while Zhao Ying had already come up with whatever she could. Her elegant swordplay started to become scattered. After twenty moves or so, she flew backwards and glared at Chu Li. "Brother, that's a little too much!"
Chu Li kept his sword and shook his head. "Your swordsmanship hasn't improved much."
"I have been practicing all this time!" Zhao Ying sheathed her sword and smiled.
"Brother, I am now a rank seven Protector!"
"You haven't challenged rank six?"
"I'm waiting to reach the innate mastery. My chances will be much higher then."
"Hmm, that's true."
"A rank seven Protector?" Li Yue was shocked.
Zhao Ying turned and smiled.
"Do I not look like one, Li Yue?"
"My god! Zhuo Feiyang is ranked seven himself!" Li Yue praised Zhuo Feiyang.
"Another genius? Both of you joined the Public House together, didn't you?"
"Yes." Zhao Ying nodded.
"I'm from the same batch as Brother Chu and Zhuo Feiyang."
"Rank seven…" Li Yue shook his head in lamentation.
"Are you guys going to even give the others a chance!?"
Zhao Ying smiled. "If Brother Chu challenged the Ranking Tower, he would definitely pass rank six."
"He —?" Li Yue glared at Chu Li and smiled. "Hah, his swordsmanship is really good, but he's afraid of concealed weapons. What a waste.."
"Let's go and have a look at the flowers, shall we?" Chu Li said.
"Okay!." Zhao Ying agreed.
"Zhao Ying, have you had breakfast?" Li Yue quickly asked.
"Nope."
"Great! Let's have it together. What do you feel like eating?"
"I'm fine with anything. I'll eat whatever you guys are eating."
"Leave it to me!"
Chu Li and Zhao Ying left the courtyard and leisurely walked along the parterre on the island.
"Brother, does Lady Xiao know about the Raging Tiger Troupe already?"
"Yes, the Chief will lend a hand."
"That's great…" Zhao Ying let out a big breath. She shook her head.
"I heard that it isn't going to be easy to start a restaurant. We'd need to build a tall building and there are already four restaurants in town. Three of which belong to the Governor and the other is staffed by some really talented people! Competing with them is just…..very hard!"
Chu Li nodded.
"It will take at least one year to build a tall building and you're going to be spending a huge sum of money. After the building is built, we need a good chef. All the chefs in the Chong Ming Town are already taken. We can't possibly hire one from the Public House, can we?" Zhao Ying continued.
"Chief Su Ru will bring over a chef from the Fairy's Capital. And about the buildings, there's no need to rush. We can take it slow. We are only planning to start with a small shop to try things out."
"That sounds great!"
Two of them walked together side by side, with their shoulders touching occassionally.
"You've almost completed your acquired mastery, yes?" Chu Li asked.
"Hmm. Another two weeks and I'll be done." Zhao Ying said, "Brother, I realised that it was faster training in the ravine than here."
"It was nice and quiet there. The environment was great as well."
"It's unfortunate that we can't return. Or else we'd be able to isolate ourselves and train. It would be the best."
"It would the best if we could go back."
"Oh right! I want to go have a look at the Raging Tiger Troupe's ravine and see if anyone has found them. I am a little worried that they can't protect themselves."
"We'll go and have a look in a few days."
Zhao Ying smiled. "Deal! I'll go back and train, and we'll leave once I complete my acquired mastery!"
Chu Li smiled.
Both of them walked throughout the island. Zhao Ying's horizon was expanded, she was impressed and surprised with all the beautiful flowers. It was hard to resist their beauty!
Li Yue yelled from afar, "Time to eat —!"
Both of them returned to the courtyard. The stone table was filled with food that smelled amazing. Zhao Ying said thanks with a smile. Li Yue straightened himself and proudly introduced each and every dish. There were ten of them!
They sat down and started eating. As they were enjoying their meal, they heard the jade instrument ring again. Li Yue put his bowl and chopsticks down, and walked away from the table. "I will go and have a look!"
Chu Li furrowed his brows, it was Zhuo Feiyang!
Li Yue brought Zhuo Feiyang to them.
Zhuo Feiyang was wearing a sapphire blue gown. He looked distinguished and his eyes sparkled like the stars. As soon as he walked in, his face soured. He glared at Zhao Ying, and then Chu Li. He smirked. Both of them eating together like that. They looked like a married couple!
"Brother Zhuo Feiyang." Zhao Ying quickly stood up. "Why are you here?"
"Have I come at a wrong time?" Zhuo Feiyang said, with a cold face, "I'm sorry for bothering you guys!"
Chu Li put down his bowl. "Zhuo Feiyang! Such a rare guest!"
Zhuo Feiyang waved off his hand. "If it were not for Zhao Ying, I wouldn't even step into this doghouse!"
"We wholeheartedly do not welcome you!" Chu Li said monotonously.
"Zhao Ying, why are you eating with this man?" Zhuo Feiyang ignored Chu Li and turned to Zhao Ying. He sternly said to her, "It's better to stay away from these kind of men, let's go!"
"Zhuo Feiyang!" Zhao Ying furrowed her brows. "Don't behave like this!"
"Ah! Right on time too, I haven't had my breakfast either. Let's go to the Sky Inn."
"I'm almost done." Zhao Ying said.
"You should try it too! Brother Li Yue's cooking is very good!"
"That's the best he can do, running around the kitchen everyday doing what normal women would do," Zhuo Feiyang's mouth twitched as he glared at Li Yue in disdain. "useless piece of trash."
Li Yue clenched his teeth and grasped his fists, but he did not swing them at Zhuo Feiyang. He had no chance of winning against a genius like Zhuo Feiyang.
"Brother Li Yue, don't listen to his barking!" Chu Li pat Li Yue on his shoulder. He turned and called out, "Zhuo Feiyang! You must be insane! You're in our domain and you're still behaving like this?"
"Brother!" Zhao Ying waved off her hand. "Fine, I'll leave then!"
"Hmm, then I shall send you off." Chu Li stared at her, and shook his head.
Zhao Ying knew how powerful Chu Li truly was. If they had actually gotten into a fight, Zhuo Feiyang would end up disabled and since he had come to the East Garden uninvited, no one would speak for him even if he was killed.
Even though Zhuo Feiyang was unreasonable, Zhao Ying would still feel restless if he were beaten.
Zhuo Feiyang smirked. "You can't do anything to me."
Chu Li subtly laughed.
Zhao Ying quickly pulled Zhuo Feiyang out of the way. "Zhuo Feiyang, let's go!"
Zhuo Feiyang tried to escape the grip, but he realized that he could not. He was pulled to the small courtyard and quickly to the shore. Bai Zhijie was sitting on the boat, waiting.
Bai Zhijie let out a quick sigh as he saw them return. He quickly rowed the boat over to let them aboard.
Zhuo Feiyang stood at the helm of the boat and looked at Zhao Ying in surprise.
"Zhao Ying..since when did your inner energy become this strong? It's even better than mine!"
Zhao Ying smiled. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Every since you came back from the mission, you've changed, Zhao Ying!" Zhuo Feiyang shook his head and sighed.
Zhao Ying smiled and did not utter a word.
"Sister, have I done something wrong to make you angry...?" Zhuo Feiyang asked sincerely.
"No," Zhao Ying shook her head.
"Then why? " Zhuo Feiyang stared at her beautiful face. "...why are you so cold?"
"Zhuo Feiyang, I've always been like this. You are overthinking." Zhao Ying shook her head, avoiding eye contact.
Zhuo Feiyang stared at her. "Zhao Ying, with whom did you do the mission with?"
"It's top secret, we cannot talk about it. You know the rules, Zhuo Feiyang," Zhao Ying shook her head.
Zhuo Feiyang furrowed his brows. "You like someone else now, don't you?"
"What are you saying, Zhuo Feiyang?!" Zhao Ying waved off her hands.
"I do not like anyone! Don't misunderstand me, we're both just friends! We're not what you think we are!" Zhao Ying angrily replied.
"You...you..!" Zhuo Feiyang's face turned red and he immediately became enraged.
"We just happened to be from the same batch and are closer to each other, it isn't what you think it is! Brother Zhuo Feiyang, please don't mistake this for anything!" Zhao Ying said.
"You like someone else now!" Zhuo Feiyang coldly replied.
Zhao Ying shook her head and sighed. It was almost impossible to reason with him at the moment. She avoided eye contact and looked into the horizon.
Zhuo Feiyang furrowed his brows and had a deep thought. He decided to investigate with whom she did the mission with. He may not know anything about the secret mission, but he could try and find out. He could always check who went on missions at around the same time and eliminate the possibilities. He would definitely find something.
"Why did you to go to that idiot's place?" Zhuo Feiyang took a deep breath. "He's full of ridiculous ideas! You're too innocent, Zhao Ying! Don't be tricked by him."
"Zhuo Feiyang, Chu Li isn't that bad."
"If he isn't bad, then who is?!" Zhuo Feiyang smirked.
"But that is fine. It doesn't matter how bad he is, he's still a piece of trash. There's no point in taking him seriously."
Zhao Ying used to think it was unpleasant to hear when he called Chu Li useless. However, she believed it to be a tragedy to her ears when she heard it. She hated how she was unable to tell him off.
"Zhuo Feiyang, Chu Li isn't weak."
"He just happened to have better swordsmanship! But it'll never change beyond subpar quality! Just wait until I reach innate mastery! I'll beat him up till his teeth fall out! I'll make sure he becomes disabled!"
"Brother Chu is now a rank six Scribe!" Zhao Ying hmphed.
"Rank six..?" Zhuo Feiyang was startled. His facial expression changed. "He's ranked six?"
"You can go and check."
"That's impossible!" Zhuo Feiyang furrowed his brows and shook his head.
Rank six was indeed a large gap between the regular Scribes and the elite. Chu Li was still so young. How was it possible for him to achieve the sixth rank!
"Brother Zhuo Feiyang, do you remember the bet?" Zhao Ying suddenly felt a surge of happiness from revenge.
She smiled. "He's ranked six! And you're now ranked seven!"
"I'll go and challenge a rank six!" Zhuo Feiyang scoffed.
Zhao Ying shook her head.
"It's almost impossible to reach rank six before achieving innate mastery."
"I can do it!" Zhuo Feiyang firmly said.
Zhao Ying smiled. She said nothing.
