White-Robed Chief Chapter 240: Annihilation
Chapter 242: Trouble
Shu Qingdie shook her head and said, "I see that you're quite skilled at that!"
Chu Li smiled . "I'm a bandit . "
Shu Qingdie grinned . "What an amazing bandit you are!"
The three got out of the house and then made their way to the exit of town .
Their journey was smooth . They returned to Snow Lunar Pavilion safely .
There was a huge group of people at the mouth of the valley, and they stared wide-eyed as they arrived .
"Sister Su! Sister Du!" Feng got to the front of the group, and he ran towards them . "You're not hurt, right?"
Shu Qingdie said, "Why are you all out here?"
"That Peng isn't dead yet?" Feng asked anxiously .
Shu Qingdie smiled sweetly . "Sister Du single-handedly killed him!"
"Sister Du?" Feng's eyes widened, and he immediately asked again, "He's really dead?!"
"His head is in the box, you can check . " Shu Qingdie answered .
Chu Li tossed the box to him .
Feng reached out his hands and caught it . Tiger and the rest came forth to him .
"We should head back inside . We shouldn't block the way out here," Shu Qingdie said . "Open it when you're inside!"
The crowd escorted Feng into the valley, their gaze was transfixed at the box .
When they reached the lake, they could not hold back anymore . All of them started talking, they were persuading Feng to open the box .
Feng too could not hold back his curiosity, and he opened the box .
Two eerie greenish heads appeared before their very eyes .
Chu Li had frozen the two heads with the Crescent Cryptic technique, so they would not smell nor bleed, just like a frozen pig head .
"Haha! It's really Feng Shaohua!" Feng clenched the head and then lifted it high up in the air .
Chu Li watched as the crowd cheered on happily, and he slowly stepped away . He returned to Su Ru's waterside pavilion .
The people were too engrossed in the two heads, that no one noticed he had left .
Chu Li sat in the pavilion, and was listening to the cheers outside . He let out a sigh of relief .
His efforts were not in vain, as Su Ru had finally taken a break through . She could finally defend herself now, and she had improved her relationship with her fellow valley mates .
However, there would surely be consequences for killing Zhao Lungfeng .
He was a perfected innate master, and he had undergone isolated cultivation for one year . The Green Hill faction was like the Snow Lunar Pavilion, conducive for training future grandmasters . Besides, Feng Shaohua could have become a grandmaster too .
He had single-handedly destroyed two bright talents who would have become grandmasters . Anyone would have been p.i.s.sed at his actions . The Green Hill faction would not let it go lightly .
Twilight dyed the surface of the lake in an orange hue . Even the inside of the house was colored a rosy red .
Chu Li was flipping through a book in his hands, he looked relaxed . His mind was calm .
Su Ru and Shu Qingdie arrived at the waterside pavilion .
"Everyone is thankful to you!" Su Ru happily announced .
Shu Qingdie swiftly nodded and then looked at him excitedly .
Chu Li put down his book, and he stretched his body . He smiled and said, "They should really thank you, and as for me… I'll be leaving tomorrow . "
"Leaving------?" Su Ru and Shu Qingdie exclaimed simultaneously .
Chu Li said, "I've caused great trouble . If I don't leave soon, I'm afraid I would be a problem for the Snow Lunar Pavilion . "
"You're talking about Feng Shaorong's death?" Shu Qingdie asked .
Chu Li smiled . " The Green Hill faction will force the Snow Lunar Pavilion to give up the person responsible for it . I shouldn't trouble your faction, so I better be leaving!"
"Hmph, they wish!" Shu Qingdie sneered . "Brother Du, just stay, you don't have to worry about a thing . My masters won't even heed the old fellas from Green Hill!"
Chu Li said, "A disciple should not trouble his masters . "
"Brother Du, you think we're afraid of Green Hill?" Shu Qingdie continued, "They have five grandmasters, but so do we . If we do battle, it could be anyone's game!"
"This incident has disrupted the balance of relationship between you two factions . I'm just scared they will pull off dirty tricks," Chu Li replied .
Shu Qingdie said, "Just stay, brother Du, don't worry . Don't leave in a rush, n.o.body could harm you here!"
Su Ru said, "If you leave now, our masters would get upset . When the news is out, people would think that the Snow Lunar Pavilion is afraid of the Green Hill faction .
"…alright, I'll stay for a few more days . " Chu Li smiled .
Of course he did not want to leave . He still hoped that Xiao Qi would suddenly get out from isolation . If he could see her again, it would cure him of his suffering .
Especially since the incident could have shocked Xiao Qi and her master, making them come out early .
On the thought of that, Chu Li's smile broadened .
Shu Qingdie took a drum stool and then sat opposite of Chu Li, while Su Ru went to light up the lanterns .
The room became bright . The two ladies looked even more gorgeous under the illumination . The sight could have tempted anyone to fall for them .
"Brother Du, may I ask what your real ident.i.ty is?" Shu Qingdie asked . "Are you an innate master or a grandmaster?"
Chu Li answered, "I don't think that matters . No matter who I am, I'm still Du Qiu's big brother, and Xia's fiancé . I would not harm them by any means . "
"You're a grandmaster, right?" Shu Qingdie said .
Chu Li hesitated for a moment and then nodded slowly .
Shu Qingdie frowned while she pondered .
There were only a few grandmasters in the Ji Dynasty martial arts world . Even fewer were as young as him .
Chu Li said, "I'm n.o.body . If not for Du Qiu's safety, I wouldn't have revealed my abilities . "
"But why?" Shu Qingdie looked puzzled .
Chu Li sighed . "I have my own reasons . "
"Alright then, I won't ask further . " Shu Qingdie knew that if she continued questioning Chu Li, it would only annoy him . His sad tone and depressed eyes also made her unwilling to continue asking .
"Tonight, we're having a feast," Shu Qingdie stood up and said . "Brother Du, you must come!"
Chu Li said, "I don't like the buzz . Carry on without me . "
Shu Qingdie looked at him, she was baffled .
Chu Li said, "Du Qiu's attendance should be enough . "
"Sister Su, my brother really dislikes events like these . " Su Ru helped him .
Shu Qingdie could not do anything but sigh . She rolled her eyes at Chu Li and then left .
Su Ru asked, "You're really not going?"
"Well, what do you think?"
Su Ru nodded gently . Chu Li may have altered his original looks, but if he got drunk, his cover would be blown . At that time, there would be dire consequences .
She frowned . "I still think that it was strange how Feng Shaohua fell before me . "
"What do you mean?" Chu Li started feeling guilty .
Su Ru stared at him . "His movement suddenly slowed, but he wasn't even hurt . How'd it happen? It provided me a chance to finish him off . "
Chu Li said, "Hmm, I didn't realize that . Maybe I was too far away . "
Su Ru did not notice anything amiss, and she only scoffed .
Chu Li secretly let out a sigh of relief .
The last thing he wanted was for Su Ru to find out that he had secretly helped her .
Camaraderie would reside eventually . After two days, the Snow Lunar Pavilion returned to its usual quiet atmosphere .
Their superiors had issued orders, and the disciples were still not allowed go out of the valley .
They all understood why the order was given, and they did not rebel . On the contrary, they felt very happy about it, as it would frustrate the people of Green Hill faction even more .
With Feng Shaohua gone, the Snow Lunar Pavilion disciples felt as if they had moved to a bigger mountain . The sky and land suddenly felt wider, as if they had obtained more freedom in the martial arts world .
Chu Li spent most of his time accompanying Su Ru, and reading books in her house .
The Snow Lunar Pavilion had a rich resource of knowledge . Many of their books looked new to Chu Li . Su Ru had even asked Shu Qingdie to help bring them two books about elemental formation .
Chu Li had a whale of a time studying them .
It was noon that day, when Chu Li was reading at the lake kiosk . The breeze felt soothing and calm .
The valley disciples glanced at him from time to time, they were envious of his great fortune . To be able to carefreely read a book at the waterside pavilion, it was not something every man could achieve .
Dressed in her green gown, Su Ru walked towards him gracefully . "The people from the Green Hill faction are here!"
She looked to be in a good mood .
After killing Feng Shaohua, she underwent drastic transformations . She now looked like a whole new person .
The relationship between them both had also taken a huge turn .
Previously, they were only acting it out . However, they had now become increasingly immersed in their roles . Su Ru nearly believed that she was really Du Qiu, and that Chu Li was Du Feng . It was the complete reverse of roles compared to when they were at the Public House . However, to her, it did not feel odd at all .
Shu Qingdie shook her head and said, I see that you 39 re quite skilled at that Chu Li smiled . I 39 m a bandit . Shu Qingdie grinned .
