Chu Li looked at her .
Shen Yinghu said, "You're too late . She has already cut herself off from all emotions . This time will be different . She will no longer feel anything for you!"
In turn, Chu Li asked, "But can I enter the surpassing state?"
"Do what you want," Shen Yinghu replied, "You helped the Snow Lunar Pavilion before so I will talk to our leader . So long as you don't destroy anything else, we will let you do as you please . If you can bring her back with you then you really are talented!"
Chu Li gave her another fist salute to thank her before dissapearing .
Shen Yinghu continued to stare at the pond . Her small white mouth suddenly curled upward, and she felt better .
Chu Li reappeared next to a pond in the valley .
This lake had the same shape as the crystal crescent lake outside but was just smaller in size .
The water here was even clearer such that the bottom of the lake was visible . Fishes were swimming freely inside, and the weeds danced gently with the waves .
Xiao Qi was sitting on a large white jade rock next to the lake . She wore a white gown and her skin was smooth as usual . A white sword was balanced on her knees .
She had aligned with the lake water and now moved with the same rhythm . Her breathing was in sync with the waves of the lake, as though they were one .
Xiao Qi was at peace, and in her mind was the image of a sword and nothing else . To her, everything was frozen in time, and the only thing that existed was the sword . If she thought of something else, the sword in her mind would activate and slash at the thoughts .
As the sword cut through layers and layers of thoughts, she finally reached a state where she no longer thought about anything, not even herself .
She suddenly opened her eyes and lifted her head to peer at the opposite side of the lake .
Chu Li was standing there in his white robe, staring at her peacefully .
Xiao Qi suddenly thought about him but was immediately interrupted by the sword, making her clueless as she continued to look at him calmly .
They both looked at each other .
Chu Li walked slowly toward her, one step at a time .
Xiao Qi kept recalling his appearance and physique, while the sword repeatedly hacked at the thoughts, trying desperately to remove all memory of him from her mind . Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
As he approached her, Chu Li eventually climbed onto the rock such that they were now very close to one another .
Xiao Qi looked at him . Her eyes were peaceful and she felt calm . She didn't try to avoid him .
Chu Li ignored her reaction . He reached out and held her right hand . Her hand felt like a blend of white jade and goat's milk, silky smooth and cool .
The sword inside Xiao Qi's mind was racing as it tried its best to destroy any trace of Chu Li, but all her memories came rushing like a wave - no matter how it tried, the memories could not be completely eliminated . From time to time, some memories would escape the sword and enter the deepest part of her mind, henceforth becoming impossible to remove .
Chu Li smiled and looked at her .
Her eyes sparkled brightly as it reflected the light .
Suddenly, Chu Li lifted her head and kissed her lips . The sensation touched her innermost being .
"Hong…" All the memories consumed her mind, along with the sword inside .
Chu Li once again looked at her bright eyes . She finally recognized him . He smiled and grabbed her waist to kiss her again .
However, Xiao Qi suddenly struggled and pushed him off lightly .
Chu Li smiled at her .

Xiao Qi shook her head . Her cheeks were bright red . The sun painted the valley red, tinting her face alongside it .
Chu Li ignored her struggles and held her waist tight as he kissed her again .
Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment before she eventually gave in .
Chu Li held her soft but cool body like he had the whole world in his hands . He felt completed as the excitement engulfed his heart . He wished that time would stop right there and then .
After a moment, they stopped . Xiao Qi looked so beautiful that Chu Li once again became excited and tried to kiss her again .
Xiao Qi immediately shook her head . "Someone is here!"
"Just ignore them," Chu Li replied .
He already knew Su Ru and the others were hiding in the forest two hundred meters away and were observing them in secret . Xiao Qi must have improved to be able to sense them .
"Why did you suddenly come here?" Xiao Qi pushed him away softly .
Chu Li laughed as he was pushed and stood up . Xiao Qi followed .
They stood next to each other and looked out at the calm lake . They both felt happy and continued to talk as they enjoyed the moment .
"I suddenly realized that the Regal Sword Scripture is a grandmaster technique, and that once you complete the training you will go to the Outland," Chu Li said while shaking his head . "I regret my decision . I don't want to let you leave to the Outland . "
Xiao Qi smiled .
Chu Li continued, "The public house has become strong and we no longer need to be afraid of others . Now they need to be afraid of us . You should just enjoy being a lady – there's no need to work so hard anymore . Besides, even if you become an enlightened master, will it benefit the public-house?"
Xiao Qi nodded when she heard this .
She understood what it would take to become an enlightened master . The road to becoming one would be long and lonely, and she would have to be alone until the end of time . Aunty Shen was an example, and she had already told Xiao Qi multiple times to not follow her footsteps .

Unfortunately, she and Chu Li had separated . She had given up on him and no longer held onto him, such that the only way forward for her was to keep working hard .
She never thought that Chu Li would appear suddenly, and seduce her relentlessly, completely breaking her out of her divine state .
"Continue to stay here," Chu Li said, "just train slowly here and see where this scripture brings you . Don't go back to the public-house yet . "
Xiao Qi looked at him with her beautiful eyes, "Is the public house in danger?"
Chu Li shook his head . "I'm just trying to deal with King An . "
"King An…" Xiao Qi raised her eyebrow and started thinking .
Chu Li continued, "I don't dare kill him right away, so I'm going to torture him bit by bit . "
Xiao Qi smiled . "I know you won't lose, but what about Elder Sister?"
"She's in the public-house, and she return to us every couple of days . King An can't hold her back and she is living freely," Chu Li grinned .
Xiao Qi sighed .
Chu Li knew what she was thinking, "It has already happened, this is the road she chose to walk, and it's not that difficult . Besides, I'm still around!"
"Then you must take good care of her," Xiao Qi replied, "she has sacrificed too much . "
Chu Li nodded .
They stood next to the lake and didn't talk anymore .
Even when they were in silent, they could feel the spiritual energy flowing between them . Having each other around felt complete and joyful . Unfortunately, it wasn't to last .

"Come over here!" Chu Li waved suddenly .
Su Ru, Li Hanyan, Xue Ling, and Jiang Kui immediately appeared .
Chu Li observed them and nodded in satisfaction . The four of them had become grandmasters, which was impressive as it was not an easy task .
He turned and smiled at Xiao Qi, "Our house has gathered more talents . "
Xiao Qi smiled back at him .
"Madam, are you guys…?" Su Ru covered her mouth and laughed .
Xiao Qi turned and stared at her .
Su Ru turned toward Chu Li . "Chu Li, you truly are skillful!"
Chu Li laughed . "It was nothing . Anyway, Head Chief Su is finally a grandmaster, congratulations . "
"Becoming a grandmaster is just the beginning, I am still far from being good enough," Su Ru shook her head and smiled . "I still have a lot to learn . "
Chu Li nodded . "Does Head Chief Su still want to stay here?"
"Yes," Su Ru replied, "Although, Xue Ling and Protector Jiang don't need to . They are stronger than me . "
Xue Ling laughed shyly .
Li Hanyan piped up, "What about me, senior?"
"You--?" Su Ru laughed . "Of course, you have to continue to train!"
Jiang Ku smiled . "Head chief, I can return now . "
He had solidified his grandmaster's boundary and was in the speedy improvement stage which would gradually slow down as time passed . However, by then he would have become a skillful master!
