“Wen Tingdao!” Ji Xin yelled, “How dare you!”

“I’ve seen the Common Knotgrass on a mountain.” Wen Tingdao, who wore a green outfit had fair skin, was very good-looking. He fanned himself with a fan, appearing to be like a graceful young master.

“Where?” Zhou Jinchun quickly asked.

Immediately, Wen Tingdao folded his fan, then pointed at Ji Xin. “As long as you beat him up, I’ll tell you!”

Zhou Jinchun turned to look at Ji Xin.

Ji Xin mentioned, “A disciple from Fu Dynasty’s Sword Moon Sect, Wen Tingdao!”

“I never lie. I’ve seen the Common Knotgrass, but if you don’t hurt him, I won’t tell you anything more!” Wen Tingdao giggled. “Oh, Common Knotgrass, there are more than ten of those there, nobody will notice it!”

“Am I supposed to believe you just because you say that it’s the Common Knotgrass? Don’t try to fool us!” Zhou Jinchun scoffed before looked away.

Wen Tingdao reached his hand out, then a broken branch in the garden flew into his hands.

He held the branch like a brush, then made a few strokes on the ground. The marks which were displayed on the soil ground were so clear that it was as though they were carved by a knife.

“Look, is it this?” Wen Tingdao smiled at Chu Li. “Young Master Zhao, we meet again!”

Chu Li humped. “You with the surname Wen, you’re here to bring contempt upon yourself again!”

Wen Tingdao took a few steps back. “Young Master Zhao, come take a look.”

When Chu Li took a big step forward, Wen Tingdao quickly held on to his sword, completely tensed up.

Chu Li smirked. “Look at how scared you are!”

He turned his back toward Wen Tingdao, before glancing at the drawing on the ground. “Mmm, it’s the Common Knotgrass!”

Instantly, Wen Tingdao’s face reddened as he was furious from being ashamed. He had the urge to simply pull his sword out to stab Chu Li through his heart, ending his life right there.

Nevertheless, his rationality stopped him from acting impulsively.

Later, Chu Li went back into the gazebo.

Zhou Jinchun quickly asked, “What do you think, Junior Brother Zhao?”

“It looks like he really saw it.”

“Alright!” Zhou Jinchun instantly became spirited. “Let’s take him down, and force him to reveal it to us!”

“Great idea!” Chu Li nodded.

Ji Xin alerted, “Be careful of his swordsmanship and body technique! He’s quite hard to deal with!”

“Can’t the three of us take him down?” Unbothered, Zhou Jinchun smiled smugly. “It’s a golden opportunity that this fella showed up at our door, Junior Sister Lu is truly lucky. Let’s take him down!”

Ji Xin sighed to himself.

Wen Tingdao was known for being cunning and crafty, he would not do anything like courting death.

All of a sudden, Wen Tingdao mentioned, “Since you don’t want to know where the Common Knotgrass is, I’m bidding farewell!”

“Where are you going!” Zhou Jinchun shrieked and wielded his Divine Fist of Great Light, but all he hit was just his shadow. Wen Tingdao had disappeared.

Ji Xin shook his head. “Forget it, Brother Zhou. The Sword Moon Sect has an unusual body technique, which is extremely unpredictable. You won’t be able to get him!”

“No, I must get him!” Zhou Jinchun shouted.

With that, he began chasing after him.

Feeling helpless, he said, “Junior Brother Zhao, heal yourself, I’ll go take a look!”

Chu Li nodded without any hesitation.

Since the two of them were patrols, they were able to protect themselves, hence they did not need Chu Li to look after them. In the Holy Church of Light, he only cared about Li Ruolan.

After Chu Li watched them leave, he continued cultivating the thirty-six energy-nurturing forms.

Each time the thirty-six energy-nurturing form was performed, the accumulated blade energy was very weak, therefore it required a long time to fill his dantian. Moreover, his dantian needed to be toughened bit by bit in order to withstand a long preservation time of the blade energies.

An hour later, Ji Xin and Zhou Jinchun appeared.

The two of them were covered in blood, and their clothes were torn and tattered by attacks from a sword.

“Bam!” They were suddenly tripped by the steps of the gazebo, resulting in a fall.

Chu Li looked at them with shock.

Both Ji Xin and Zhou Jinchun looked pale with purple lips, indicating that they had lost too much blood. Bitter smiles could be seen on their bloody faces.

Chu Li immediately helped them up the stone stools. “What happened?”

He could tell that they were still full of vitality, and were in no danger, but their bodies were terribly slashed and thus they needed rest.

“Motherf*cker, that sly fella led us into an ambush!” Zhou Jinchun cursed madly.

His body was trembling as he exerted too much energy, and was now completely worn out.

Ji Xin sighed. “Two Sword Moon Sect masters are lying in ambush outside the city, we only managed to escape after using our secret techniques!”

Chu Li furrowed his brows. “There are two Sword Moon Sect masters?”

“They’re not inferior to Wen Tingdao at all!” Ji Xin added, “We were extremely lucky to have fled.”

Chu Li commented, “The man with the surname Wen is truly devious. If three masters were to barge into our place now, they could’ve beat us up easily, yet he went through all that trouble!”

“That’s Wen Tingdao!” Ji Xin was infuriated.

Zhou Jinchun gritted his teeth. “How despicable! Damn it!”

Chu Li comforted him, “Senior Brother Zhou, don’t get so heated up. As long as the Common Knotgrass still exists, you’ll be able to find it!”

“I’m only afraid that it’s in Fu Dynasty.” Ji Xin continued, “We can’t enter Fu Dynasty as it’s full of danger, I’ve been there!”

“Even if it’s at the Hundred-Thousand Hills, I’ll go find it!” Zhou Jinchun uttered, “I must let Junior Sister Lu’s arm grow again!”

Ji Xin mentioned, “Junior Brother Zhao, help him out.”

Feeling troubled, Chu Li expressed, “Monk Zhi Shan is already too much for me, I can’t even protect myself.”

Zhou Jinchun immediately assured him, “Junior Brother Zhao, as long as you retrieve the Common Knotgrass, I’ll obey you in the future. If you have any orders for me, I’ll carry them out diligently!”

“For the sake of Senior Brother Zhou’s devotion to Junior Sister Lu, please help him.” Ji Xin asked.

Chu Li exhaled. “Alright. If there’s a chance, I’ll make a move. However, I really can’t divert my attention now. The Single Slice of the Universe that I’ve been practicing only allows me to shoot a little more than ten blades, and each time one blade is used, I’ll need to cultivate for half a day to replenish it. If Monk Zhi Shan really comes…”

Zhou Jinchun quickly said, “I’ll lure Wen Tingdao over!”

Chu Li responded, “That won’t be a problem then!”

Subsequently, he walked outside.

“Senior Brother Zhou, are you planning to die?” Ji Xin immediately reminded him, “How many more hits can you still take?”

“As long as I still breathe, it’s enough to lure him over!” Zhou Jinchun scoffed.

Chu Li suggested, “How about this, let’s go outside the city. It’ll be easier to lure him.”

“Alright!” Zhou Jinchun agreed without any hesitation.

On the other hand, Ji Xin’s face looked bitter.

He did not want to go crazy with Zhou Jinchun.

‘My body’s empty now, and I’m only relying on the spirit pills to support myself. It will take more or less a year for me to recover completely. On top of that, this year is the crucial year for the battle between the Qiu Dynasty and the Li Dynasty, yet I can only watch from aside since I can’t be of any help. This also means that I won’t render any meritorious services.’

‘As for Junior Sister Li, she’ll likely have many great achievements and will advance into being an altar leader.

‘Once she becomes an altar leader, I won’t have the qualification to be with her anymore.’

Zhou Jinchun suddenly stopped after a while before turning to Ji Xin who was in the gazebo. “Junior Brother Ji, don’t come with us, stay here to rest!”

“Forget it, let’s go together.” Ji Xin sighed helplessly.

Upon hearing him, Zhou Jinchun nodded.

Disheartened, Ji Xin followed them. He swallowed a Pill of Energy, and mustered up his courage. This time, he really needed to put in his utmost effort and was ready to give up his life.

Nonetheless, once Ji Xin made the decision, though he sighed to himself, he was also slightly excited for suddenly being more courageous.

Once the three of them left the backyard, they arrived at a forest outside the city, then split ways. Zhou Jinchun and Ji Xin left to lure Wen Tingdao, whereas Chu Li cultivated the thirty-six energy-nurturing forms as he waited.
