Chapter 1213: Counterbalance
The two arrived at the Divine Light Basilica . Sun Mingyue sat in the chair and stared quietly at her . “Du Ying, you still have to bring Zhao Dahe back here . ”
“Saint…” Du Ying said hastily .
Sun Mingyue waved her hand . “The rules are the rules . ”
“Didn’t you tell Senior Brother Deng that you won’t punish Junior Brother Zhao!?” Du Ying asked .
“I’m just messing with him,” Sun Mingyue said . “Do you really think I won’t punish Zhao Dahe just because of his words?”
“Senior Brother Deng wasn’t inconvenienced greatly at all . ”
“Who says he wasn’t?”
Du Ying looked at her suspiciously .
Sun Mingyue shook her head . “Zhao Dahe has gone overboard this time and injured Deng Datong’s roots . Even if the latter has recovered, I’m afraid he won’t be able to do anything for a long time . ”
Du Ying asked, “Are you serious?”
“His attack was neither soft nor strong . It’s obvious that he’s trying to destroy Deng Datong’s roots!” Sun Mingyue scoffed .
Du Ying was silent for a brief moment before voicing out once more . “You can’t blame Junior Brother Zhao for being cruel . Senior Brother Deng was simply too despicable . ”
“Alright, let’s not discuss this any further . Summon him over now . ” Sun Mingyue gestured with her jade-like hand .
“Yes…” Du Ying nodded as she did not speak further .
She knew that Saint would be angry if she spoke further and it would simply be asking for trouble .
Sun Mingyue pondered as she watched Du Ying’s elegant figure leaving the Divine Light Basilica .
This scene was rather familiar as she had already used a woman to ensnare a man once; using Li Ruolan to trap Zhao Dahe . It was comparable to controlling a frenzied dragon with ropes . Since it was extremely effective, Sun Mingyue planned to do it again .
Du Ying and Li Ruolan were similar in personality but they looked different on the outside . They were both mature, calm, kind, and it was clear as day if they hated or loved someone . They would not hide their emotions at all and this type of girl was able to enter Zhao Dahe’s heart easily .
Now, it was whether Du Ying could enter Zhao Dahe’s heart . Their paths would be much easier if she succeeded .
Sun Mingyue shook her head and sighed as she had to put in so much effort just to be able to control Zhao Dahe . The current situation was rather dire as she was still not able to completely control him . Sun Mingyue could not order him to do what she wanted and she needed desperate measures only to be able to force him to move .
Fortunately, he was worth the effort . Zhao Dahe’s martial arts far surpassed the average person . Although he was only a Branch Leader, his martial art cultivation was no weaker than the Altar Leader or even the Priest . Furthermore, he was extremely smart as well . People were often deceived by Zhao Dahe’s looks and thought that he was just another idiot who did not know how to strategize and would only brawl . Hence, they were always at a disadvantage because of this .
Chu Li was training in his own home when Du Ying arrived at Gale City . Kou Qiong personally escorted her to the courtyard, greeted her and stood quietly inside the courtyard .
Du Ying looked at Kou Qiong discreetly .
Kou Qiong looked extremely old, so much so that he seemed to be at least one hundred years old . He was incredibly skilled in martial arts and his cultivation level was incredibly high . If he was from the Holy Church of Light, he would have been cultivating at the fourth peak and enjoying his life . Kou Qiong would not have to reveal himself so often in public .
He and the other two had relearned their martial arts from Chu Li himself ever since they arrived at Gale City and this caused their cultivation level to soar quickly .
It was not like Chu Li wanted to reward them, he purely wanted to be lazy . If their martial arts were weak, they would have caused trouble to him every once in a while . If they were strong enough, they would be able to handle the matters on their own and Chu Li did not need to step up to help them .
Kou Qiong stood in the little courtyard as he maintained his greeting posture . Du Ying was so curious that she wanted to ask what he was doing . However, Kou Qiong placed his finger by his lips, gesturing her to be quiet .
Du Ying was curious .
Kou Qiong pointed into the house and stopped moving once more .

Du Ying felt bad by his behavior and did not dare to speak up anymore . Hence, she decided to wait together with him .
Soon, Chu Li’s voice could be heard . “What’s the matter?”
“Lord, Madam Du from the Holy Church of Light has arrived, “Kou Qiong immediately responded respectfully .
“Senior Sister Du, come in,” Chu Li said .
Kou Qiong gestured Du Ying to enter .
Du Ying shook her head and smiled as she did not expect Junior Brother Zhao to have such a skilled master behaving so respectfully . It was obvious that Kou Qiong’s respect came from his heart and did not act for the sake of acting . Du Ying was incredibly curious as to how Junior Brother Zhao managed to achieve this .
Kou Qiong left the place softly when Du Ying entered the house .
Chu Li was sitting on the floor as he looked at her calmly . He fist saluted . “Senior Sister Du, are there any instructions from the Saint?”
“The Saint has summoned you,” Du Ying said .
Chu Li frowned . “I have to go back again?”
“It isn’t something good this time . ” Du Ying sighed . “You’ve greatly injured Senior Brother Deng, Saint wants to punish you . ”
“Is he dead?” Chu Li scoffed .
Du Ying shook his head . “Senior Brother Deng won’t die this easily . ”
Chu Li smiled . “It’s fine if he’s alive . It’s not considered killing each other, right? Why would the Saint want to punish me?”
“He’s almost dead . ” Du Ying sighed . “Senior Brother Deng’s injury has worsened, it’s hard to tell if he’s dead or alive if Saint didn’t step up . ”

“Hmm…” Chu Li nodded . “Fine, I’ll follow you . ”
Du Ying sighed . “Junior Brother Zhao, I’m sure you must hate seeing me . It’s always bad news whenever I look for you . ”
Chu Li laughed as he shook his head .
He could tell that Du Ying was pure and kind . She was the type of person who knew how to differentiate love and hate instead of having an unconditional tolerance . She was his type and he did not hate her at all . In fact, he found it relaxing when he interacted with her .
“Alright . ” Du Ying smiled . “Junior Brother Zhao, is this your so-called idea? You’ve critically injured Senior Brother Deng to the point where he could not achieve his military order?”
“What do you mean?” Chu Li smiled .
“You’re quite evil and your measures are drastic!” Du Ying smiled .
Chu Li nodded . “Senior Brother Deng wasn’t as strong as I expected . Did you guys not find a master to treat his wound? It’s still theoretically treatable!”
“Senior Brother Deng isn’t liked by many and no masters are willing to help him out,” Du Ying said .
Chu Li stood up and left his place together with Du Ying as they glided towards Divine Light Basilica .
The two chatted happily along the way and they soon arrived at Divine Light Basilica .
It was already evening and the Divine Light Basilica was lit up by the evening sun . The snow at Great Light Peak reflected the sunlight into the basilica, causing the place to be lit up brightly . This was how the Divine Light Basilica got its name .
Sun Mingyue was standing at the corner of the basilica when Chu Li entered the place . She seemed to be in deep thought as she looked at him with her beautiful eyes as if she was trying to see through his thoughts .
Chu Li fist saluted . “Saint, tell me . How are you going to punish me this time?”
“I’ll punish you by ordering you to kill Li Hanyan,” Sun Mingyue said .

Chu Li frowned . “I won’t kill Li Hanyan on his behalf . I know that he’ll still get the credit even if I kill Li Hanyan . I’m basically helping him finish his military order . ”
“That’s right . If you kill Li Hanyan, I’ll take it as you didn’t injure Deng Datong,” Sun Mingyue said .
Chu Li said, “You should just punish me directly instead!”
“You’ll still be the Branch Leader of the Gale Branch,” Sun Mingyue said indifferently . “You still have to kill someone else to counterbalance this incident . ”
“Saint, as far as I know, the Church doesn’t allow someone to do another thing to counterbalance their credits, no matter how big the contribution was,” Chu Li said .
“Some cases are allowed,” Sun Mingyue said . “You can’t just sum them up as one . You can do another thing to fulfill your mistake since you didn’t cause a huge incident this time . ”
“Who do you want me to kill?” Chu Li scoffed .
Sun Mingyue said, “Liang Yinge . ”
