Chu Li smiled and agreed . Before long, the dishes were served .

Yang Lingfeng ordered the servant to bring in twenty jars of wine .

"Brother Du, this is our very own wine, brewed exclusively in the Snow Lunar Pavilion . It will surely taste strong enough! Come, drink!" Yang Lingfeng raised his jar and proceeded to fill everyone's bowls . After that, he lifted his own bowl and said aloud, "Kill Feng Shaohua, let's drink to that!"

"Kill Feng Shaohua! Cheers!" the crowd followed suit .

Chu Li smiled and gulped down the whole bowl of wine .

Their anger and hatred towards Feng Shaohua were real and deep .

The dishes may not have been as delicious as the ones at the Leisure Cloud Pub, but they were very fresh when served . Chu Li was not very particular about it as he drank several more bowls of wine . He chatted happily with the people there, talking about funny stories in the martial arts world, and the interesting stuff that happened downhill .

Chu Li was polite when speaking, plus he loved to just sit back and listen to their stories . Hence, the people stopped feeling hostile towards him anymore, especially since he had drunk several bowls of wine with them .

Yang Lingfeng was not very tolerant of alcohol . After a jar of wine, he started speaking a lot, without thinking properly .

"Brother Du, Feng Shaohua's Light-body Technique is too d.a.m.n good . If not for that, we would have killed him already!" Yang Lingfeng said as he pulled on Chu Li's sleeves . "At least ten of our brothers and sisters have died because of him . If you can really take down Feng Shaohua, you'll be our savior . And I won't mind handing Sister Du Xia over to you!"

Chu Li said, "Since he has stirred so much hatred, why didn't your faction's elders do anything?"

"They can't . " Yang Lingfeng shook his head and sighed . "It's a rule set by both our faction's founding members . If the disciples are involved in a b.l.o.o.d.y fight, the elder ones cannot intervene!"

Chu Li frowned . "So they can only watch as the killings ensued . "

"Sigh… If our masters choose to step into this, the elders from the Green Hill faction will get involved too . Both sides will then be at a lost!" Yang Lingfeng scoffed . "We can only blame ourselves for not being strong enough in martial arts like Feng Shaohua, thus failing to kill him!"

Chu Li pondered . He then nodded, as he understood why the elders had to keep it that way .

That rule was set ages ago was also for their faction's own good . If the elders kept intervening, the younger ones would not need to do anything or learn anything, and their faction would be doomed to extinction .

"All in all, Brother Du, we're all counting on you!" Yang Lingfeng smiled drunkenly .

Chu Li answered slowly, "Don't worry . Feng Shaohua will not live much longer!"

"My junior, Brother Meng died right in front of my very eyes, but I couldn't do anything to save him!" Yang Lingfeng howled . "Feng Shaohua, to h.e.l.l with you------!"

"Brother Yang, you're drunk . " Zhao Feihu quickly pulled him away .

After a furious bout of swearing, Yang Lingfeng had tears all over his face . He laid on the table and started crying .

The people around also started getting teary-eyed, as a flame of fury burnt with intensity deep inside them .

Chu Li sighed . He knew how that kind of frustration and helplessness felt like .

Zhao Feihu looked at them helplessly . "Brother Du, sorry that you have to see this . This group of fellas is hopeless!"

Chu Li smiled and shook his head .

Zhao Feihu sighed . "It's all my fault . I wasn't able to kill him!"

Chu Li patted him on his shoulder . He did not know what to say to console him .

Yang Lingfeng and the rest of the people were dead drunk . They howled and cried, eventually hitting the sack on the floor .

Zhao Feihu was depressed too . He did not drink much but was nonetheless, close to getting drunk .

In the end, only Chu Li was still sober . He looked at them, wondering where he was going to sleep at later that night .

A green shadow flashed across the room . Shu Qingdie appeared again, this time donned in a green gown .

A cold smirk etched on her pretty face . "This group of useless fellas, one drink and they're drunk . Weaklings!"

Chu Li gave her a fist salute .

"Follow me, I'll bring you to a guest room . " Shu Qingdie wrinkled her little nose, fanning away the stench of alcohol . "I hate this smell! Hurry up, let's go!"

Chu Li stood up and said, "Thank you, Miss Shu . "

"You're my junior, Sister Du Qiu's brother, so you're considered one of us . No need to thank me . " Shu Qingdie led the way in front, walking gracefully . Her slender and curvy figure made her look like one of those Victoria's Secret models from the world of his past life .

The two walked along the pier and ventured into the heart of the valley . After walking for a while, they stopped in front of a pavilion . "Just stay the night here . Go in there and see if it suits you . "

Chu Li entered the pavilion and got up to the second floor . There were five houses in total .

He chose one house at random . It was clean and neat . Due to it facing the South, there was adequate sunlight, and the interior of the house did not look damp at all . The blankets and bedsheets were dry and warm .

Shu Qingdie followed him into the house, leaning on the frame of the door . "If everything's fine with you, you may stay here for a few more days . Leave when sister Du Qiu's injuries are healed . She will need someone to accompany and take care of her . "

"Alright . " Chu Li nodded .

"Sleep earlier . " Shu Qingdie waved her hand, then left in a graceful stride .

Chu Li did not meditate nor practice martial arts that night . He had a good sleep .

Although he did not get to meet Xiao Qi, he could still feel her presence in the valley, which was why he was able to have a good night's sleep .

When Chu Li woke up at dawn the next day, besides the chirping of birds, he could also hear vague shouting sounds . After listening closer, he could make out that there were quite a few people practicing martial arts nearby .

Chu Li pushed open the window, and the entire valley appeared right before his very eyes . Only the training ground was obstructed from his view by a forest .

A thick forest surrounded the training ground . With his Omniscient Mirror, Chu Li could see that it was almost equal in size to the one at the Martial Arts Hall in the Public House . Fifty girls were practicing sword fighting, while on the other side, sixty young men were doing the same . They were distinguished clearly into two sides .

This particular scene looked familiar to Chu Li . He felt that he was back at his school in his past life .

Such a scene would not be seen in the Public House's training ground . Male and female Protectors would practice martial arts together, so there would not be a clear line separating them into two groups .

Chu Li enjoyed the warm morning sunlight and stretched his body .

Then, he heard knocks on the door . A man in a green s.h.i.+rt brought in some water and smiled . "The food is ready . Whenever you're hungry, Brother Du, just call out for me . "

Chu Li thanked him . After he cleaned his face, he walked downstairs to the pavilion on the lake .

Su Ru sat on her bed cross-legged, cultivating martial arts .

When she saw Chu Li walking in, she opened her bright eyes . "They didn't make you drunk last night, did they?"

"No, they didn't . They themselves got drunk . " Chu Li smiled . "I'll only leave after you've healed your injuries . "

"Really?" Su Ru's eyes lighted up .

Chu Li smiled . "I'm currently not bound to any obligations . I'm only waiting to reunite with the Second Lady when four months have pa.s.sed . "

"That's good then . " Su Ru flashed a broad smile .

"When will Du Xia come out of isolation?"

"It's hard to say . Could take quite a while . "

"Why don't I lend you a helping hand, so you can heal quicker?"

"Of course not!" Su Ru waved her hand and said . "My Senior, Sister Mo sustained heavy injuries too . If I recover too quickly, they would feel very strange . "

In truth, Su Ru only wanted Chu Li to stay with her longer .

"Alright then . " Chu Li smiled . "Let me go and visit Miss Mo . I still haven't thanked her . "

"I'll bring you there after we have lunch," Su Ru replied .

"I've met Miss Shu yesterday . " Chu Li smiled . "She's truly an amazing person . "

Su Ru said, "Sister Shu could be considered as our eldest senior . Her martial arts are the strongest, and according to our master, she has a great chance at achieving Innate Mastery in the near future . "

Chu Li smiled and nodded .

It was logical . Snow Lunar Pavilion was quite a famed faction, and as the one person who had the strongest abilities in martial arts, Shu Qingdie was highly likely to achieve Innate Mastery . Furthermore, as a future Innate Master, she naturally had the license to take pride in her abilities .

"But Sister Shu despises men a lot, so don't get angry at her . "

"Nah, I won't . Since she saved your life . "

After they had lunch, they went to see Sister Mo .

Mo Ying may not have been as pretty as Su Ru, but still, she had skin as fair as snow, coupled with an oval face, a pair of almond-shaped eyes, and rosy cheeks . She looked likable .

She consumed the Spirit and Blessing Pill along with some other pills . Her injuries were almost as serious as Su Ru's .

The three were chatting inside Mo Ying's pavilion when they suddenly heard rapid footsteps outside . Yang Lingfeng knocked on the door and walked in . "Brother Du, that Feng Shaohua went downhill!"

Chu Li smiled and agreed . Before long, the dishes were served . Yang Lingfeng ordered the servant to bring in twenty jars of wine . Brother Du, this is our very own wine, brewed exclusively in the Snow Lunar Pavilion . It will surely taste strong enough Come, drink Yang Lingfeng raised his jar and proceeded to fill everyone 39 s bowls . After that, he lifted his own bowl and said aloud, Kill Feng Shaohua, let 39 s drink to that Kill Feng Shaohua Cheers the crowd followed suit . Chu Li smiled and gulped down the whole bowl of wine .
