When Xueling returned to the small courtyard, she saw Suru standing at the door, standing slim in an apricot-yellow robe, and was about to push the door in.
"Manager." She called out and stepped forward to salute.
"Xueling, are you going to the martial arts hall again?" Su Ru asked with a smile.
Xueling said: "I would like to thank Sun Jun and Wang Xuanyi on behalf of the young master, and give them a Praying Pill."
"Chu Li is generous enough." Suru shook her head and laughed.
Xueling hummed: "Whatever the young master wants to do, no one can stop him!"
Suru pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Look at how distressed you are. Don't worry, he can still lack the Qiyuan Pill?"
The two of them opened the door and entered the small courtyard while talking.
Chu Li was sitting cross-legged on a short couch under the Tianling tree, doing his exercises, like an old monk in meditation, with a solemn appearance.
He slowly opened his eyes, smiled at Suru, and glanced at Xueling again.
Xueling said hurriedly: "I have already given it to them... Don't worry, I am very angry."
Chu Li nodded with satisfaction.
Suru said: "Chu Li, you should heal your wounds faster. The traces of the thunder knife have been found. Miss will set off tomorrow!"
"Found it, so quickly?" Chu Li was surprised.
It was so easy for him to find the secluded place of a master from Heaven and Earth. Even if it was the Duke's Mansion, he found it too easy.
Suru smiled and said: "This is also good luck. I didn't expect to find it so quickly."
"How did you find it?"
"It was overheard by a guard on the way to a mission. After a little inquiry, the thunder knife appeared in the Fengming Mountain area." Suru said: "I don't know the specific place, but he should live in Fengming Mountain, Miss. The idea is to look for him after he has passed, so as not to alert the enemy."
Chu Li said: "Is there such a coincidence?"
"Maybe God will also help the second lady." Suru said with a smile.
Chu Li shook his head and frowned.
"Chu Li, are you not happy to hear this news?" Suru tilted her head and looked at him: "Why is that expression?"
"I'm just afraid that Kong will like it." Chu Li said.
Suru said: "We need to hide this matter from the second young lady first. After the young lady gets the thunder knife back, we can tell the second young lady, when will your injury heal? Are you in a hurry tomorrow?... If you can't make it in time, the young lady herself go."
Chu Li frowned even more tightly.
Suru said: "Don't worry. Of course we will bring a few masters from Heaven and Earth with us!"
Chu Li pondered for a moment: "Okay, let's set off tomorrow!"
"Can your injury be cured?"
"Well, give it a try."
"Don't act recklessly." Suru said: "The lady said your injury should be healed bit by bit, and you can't rush it."
"I have a way." Chu Li said.
"Okay. I'll go tell the lady." Suru looked at him worriedly, got up and left.
—
The next morning, the sun rose, and the golden light reflected the small courtyard in a golden color.
Under the Tianling tree, Chu Li woke up from trance.
After a night of hard work. Annihilation means to be eliminated.
He had recovered from his injuries bit by bit in order to feel the mystery of the Finger of Death and understand the meaning of withering. He was worried that Xiao Qi would go find the lightning-guiding knife alone, so he could only reluctantly give up and completely drive away the Finger of Death.
If he wants to be with Xiao Qi, it's not that he doesn't trust Xiao Qi's wisdom. She has the ability to see into people's hearts and is not easily fooled, but if he is around. At the critical moment, you can take her away. The Thirty-six Stratagems are the best way to take her away, which can be regarded as another insurance.
Xiao Qi and Suru stepped into the small courtyard. Her white clothes were fluttering and her fragrance was refreshing. She looked at Chu Li quietly: "Is your injury really healed?"
Chu Li nodded.
Xiao Qi sat on the edge of the couch, put her slender fingers like green onions on his wrist, feeling his strong inner strength, and nodded with satisfaction.
Chu Li was touched by her cool fingers and suddenly felt half of his body numb. She tried hard to suppress her heartbeat, not wanting Xiao Qi to notice the clues.
"It's really easy." Xiao Qi let go of her slender fingers and gently chinned her head: "Come to Fengming Mountain with me?"
Chu Li smiled and said: "Of course."
Xiao Qi said: "Da Leiyin Temple is probably still looking for an opportunity to kill you."
Chu Li smiled but didn't answer. He is not afraid of being chased by Da Leiyin Temple, just be careful next time.
"... Okay, just the two of us go." Xiao Qi muttered: "Go back quickly, go secretly, and pass by unknowingly, which will save you a few twists and turns."
Chu Li said: "Miss. It's better to bring some Tianwaitian guards."
Xiao Qi frowned and looked at him.
Chu Li said: "I'm worried about whether Lu Yurong is involved in this. What if Lu Yurong asked someone to get this thunder knife?"
"Huh-?" Xiao Qi was startled.
Although she is smart as ice and snow, she is not good at strategies. She is good at perceiving subtleties and taking advantage of others' tactics. She takes the initiative to scheme against others but she is not as good as Lu Yurong.
Chu Li shook his head and said: "Even if Lu Yurong doesn't interfere with it, we still have to beware of this thunder knife. People's hearts are separated from each other. Over more than ten years ago, how has the relationship between the thunder knife and the Duke changed? Who can say allow?"
Xiao Qi thought intently.
When Chu Li mentioned this, he really had to be on the lookout for Lu Yurong's endless schemes and sophisticated calculations. If Chu Li could figure them out, Lu Yurong might not be able to figure them out.
Chu Li looked at her steadily.
After a while, Xiao Qi shook his head and said: "It's better for the two of us to go!"
Chu Li smiled helplessly.
Xiao Qi said: "If it is really Lu Yurong's plan, the two of us will leave when the situation is not good. With Mr. Zhao and the others, it will be too involved and it will be useless. We leave quietly, so it is not easy to be plotted."
If the two of them go on the road together, they can hide their whereabouts, but if they go with Zhao Qingshan and the others, it will be too conspicuous, and others will definitely know their whereabouts.
If it was really Lu Yurong's plan, Zhao Qingshan and the others could at most remain undefeated. It would be impossible to defeat Ren Guo Gongfu. Instead, why bother with them anymore and just leave.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Chu Li could only nod.
Xueling had already packed a baggage and handed it to him coldly.
Chu Li glanced at her, took the baggage, and walked out of the small courtyard with Xiao Qi, directly boarding a boat deep in the woods.
On the painting stood Suru, dressed in a lake-green robe, and two horses.
Chu Li recognized them as two of the horses captured in the Qiwu Sect. They were extraordinary horses.
The painting boat slowly sailed away from Yuqi Island and entered the lake. Chu Li and the other three entered the cabin.
Xiao Qi sat on the low couch by the window, and Chu Li sat across from him.
Suru handed two cups of tea and stood aside.
Chu Li smiled and said, "The manager will go too?"
Suru rolled her eyes at him: "What am I going to do? It's just a drag!"
Chu Li smiled, knowing that she was having a temper.
Xiao Qi said: "I just blame you for not using kung fu. Your martial arts skills are mediocre and you are not worthy of your responsibilities."
Suru said angrily: "Who is like you two? I don't have such a great talent!"
Xiao Qi glanced at her and said, "Chu Li, Fengming Mountain is two thousand miles away. If you hurry, you can get there tomorrow."
Chu Li said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy to find him after entering the mountain."
Xiao Qi said: "Second sister's situation is not very good, we have to step up."
Chu Li frowned and said, "Second Miss is sick?"
Xiao Qi sighed: "I got typhoid fever yesterday. It's due to changes in solar terms. I took advantage of it and couldn't prevent it."
Chu Li looked solemn.
Xiao Shi's body is too weak. For ordinary people, typhoid fever is not too serious, but it is a big difficulty for her.
"With Mr. Guo taking care of her, she should be able to get over it." Xiao Qi said, "But if she can get over it this time, what about the future? I think her health is getting worse."
Chu Li nodded slowly, his heart heavy.
The boat slid silently, and after drinking a cup of tea, the boat docked.
Chu Li and Xiao Qi got off the boat, mounted their horses, waved goodbye to Suru, and galloped away along a path. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from Suru's sight, leaving only billowing smoke and dust. (To be continued.)
