Chapter 738: Murderous Intent

Chapter 739: Murderous Intent

“Letting Xiao Qi go to King An’s Imperial Residence…” Shen Yinghu stretched and formed an elegant arc with her body, showing off her slim figure. “Mmm, you finally did something right.”

They were sitting in a gazebo by Crystal Crescent Lake where the waters were so clear they could see the swimming fishes and wafting waterweeds inside.

Chu Li agreed. “If she were to continue her Isolated Cultivation, she would only drift further away. Senior Shen, you should go with her.”

“Me…?” Shen Yinghu hesitated for a moment before lifting a corner of his mouth into a smirk. “What a thought, why should I go there?”

Chu Li tried to convince her. “I reckon the Holy Church of Light won’t stop sending assassins, but with you watching over them, I can rest easy.”

Shen Yinghu waved her hand dismissively as she said lazily, “Count me out. I’m old and am in no mood to get involved in trouble anymore. I’m good here.”

Chu Li stared her intently. “Are you really planning to spend the rest of your life alone?”

Shen Yinghu chuckled, shaking her head. “What do you mean alone? Can’t women survive without men? Pavilion Leader and my two Senior Sisters are single, they don’t need any man and seem to be living more freely and carefree.”

Chu Li pushed. “Senior Shen, you still can’t forget that man, right?”

Shen Yinghu shot him a sidelong glance. “He’s dead. How did you know about him?”

Chu Li confessed, “You said some things about him the last time you were heavily injured. I can understand the pain that’s lingering in your heart, but there’s no need for things to be like this, he’s not worth your affection. You guys might have parted ways if he did not die because you know that he did not remain loyal to you. You have just been deceiving yourself all this while, Senior!”

“Shut up!” Shen Yinghu’s face darkened as she cut him off.

Chu Li remained calm as he continued. “Senior, you must’ve known that he was involved with other women as well. If he was alive, he would’ve found another younger and prettier woman within a year or two.”

“Are you asking for a beating?” Shen Yinghu bit her red lips as she narrowed her eyes at him.

Chu Li smiled. “I must make you see the truth even if it means getting beaten up!”

Shen Yinghu sneered at him. “I don’t need your kindness! Who are you to get involved in my business when you are in a mess yourself?”

Chu Li spoke with confidence, “They say that the spectators see the chess game better than the players; it’s easy to assess others clearly but when it comes to yourself, you never know how blind you are. We are the same, Senior, it’s easier for us to see past one another!”

“Shut up, you little b*stard!” Shen Yinghu shushed him.

Chu Li was tactful as he promptly stopped talking and looked at her quietly.

Shen Yinghu shifted her gaze towards the clear lake as the gazebo fell silent.

After some time, Shen Yinghu finally sighed. “You don’t understand, so don’t speak mindlessly… I owe him my life, since he risked his life to save me.”

Chu Li raised his eyebrow.

Shen Yinghu revealed the truth. “Back when he risked his life for mine, I told myself that I will use my life to repay him and that I will not blame him even if his feelings change, I will continue liking him to repay his kindness.”

Chu Li shook his head. “Relationships should not be like this.”

“What do you know about relationships?” Shen Yinghu glared at him disdainfully.

Chu Li merely smiled.

Shen Yinghu scoffed. “If it wasn’t for him saving my life, I would’ve been long dead. How would I have a relationship then? Would I be properly repaying his kindness if I left him for another man and never saw him again just because his feelings had changed?”

Chu Li retorted, “Then just find a chance to save him.”

“His martial art cultivation is way beyond mine,” Shen Yinghu scoffed.

Chu Li shook his head. “That doesn’t mean that you don’t have a chance to save him. Anyway, there’s just no point in just pledging yourself to him.”

“I’m in no mood to argue with a heartless fella like you!” Shen Yinghu waved.

Chu Li laughed. “If you don’t go, will your conscience be clear if First Lady and Second Lady are in danger, Senior?”

“Why won’t my conscience be clear!”

Chu Li chuckled. “Your elder sister only has one daughter, Senior! Did she not entrust Lady Xiao into your care when she passed?”

Chu Li went on. “Green Hill’s vitality was greatly damaged, they can hardly fend for themselves, surely they wouldn’t dare come and stir up trouble in Snow Lunar Pavilion. Also, Snow Lunar Pavilion is dealing with anything that requires your help. Are you telling me that you’d rather spend your time here staring into space than taking care of Lady Xiao?”

“You’re such a b*stard!” Shen Yinghu grumbled with contempt. “Fine, I’ll go with Xiao Qi!”

He managed to latch on to her weak spot, he knew that Shen Yinghu was soft-hearted.

A smile crept onto Chu Li’s face. “I’ve arranged a residence for you and Lady Xiao near King An’s Imperial Residence. Fairy’s Capital is a bustling place and is flooding with martial art masters, so you’ll probably find Snow Lunar Pavilion incredibly tiny once you get there and will be able to forget about all your troubles.”

“Stop meddling in my business, if you won’t mind your own business, I won’t talk to you anymore!” Shen Yinghu warned him.

Chu Li grinned. “Alright, then I’ll get moving, I’ll wait for your arrival in Fairy Capital!”

“Get lost!” Shen Yinghu shooed him away.

…

He returned to Su Ru’s waterside pavilion and sat in front of a desk after taking a book. The sparkling waters of the lake outside the window were calm as a cool breeze glided past it. It was a stark difference to the pleasantly warm room where the good-natured Su Ru was cultivating on her couch.

As a faint aroma surrounded him, Chu Li’s heart became tranquil.

Li Hanyan fluttered into the room.

Su Ru opened her eyes and looked at her.

Li Hanyan had a graceful figure and an attractive face, but the words she spoke at that moment were not graceful nor attractive at all. “Brother Du, let’s go and kill someone!”

Chu Li put his book down and smiled. “Kill who?”

“I found two factions that should be killed, one of them is Titanium Faction that had killed and raped many while the other one is the Great Virtues Clan that does human trafficking with children and women. They deserve to die!”

Chu Li asked, “Do you still chant Buddhist Scriptures daily?”

“Of course.” LI Hanyan quickly nodded.

Chu Li laughed. “Then why do you still have such a strong murderous intent? Did you check out your sources?”

Li Hanyan nodded furiously. “There’s no mistake! I’ve checked it multiple times and made clear inquiries!”

“If that’s the case, then they do deserve to be killed.” Chu Li nodded.

Su Ru reminded them. “Don’t make a mistake and kill the wrong people.”

“I won’t be wrong!” Li Hanyan quickly reassured her.

Chu Li sighed gravely, “Alright, then let’s kill them!”

“You guys are really…” Su Ru muttered helplessly.

Li Hanyan grinned. “Let’s bring Sister Xue Ling with us.”

Chu Li was confused. “Xue Ling? Does she want to join this mission too?”

Li Hanyan laughed. “Sister Xue Ling said that she’s upset because she could not use the martial arts she cultivated and I think killing people is the best way to practice martial arts, so letting Sister Xue Ling kill a few people will definitely make her stronger!”

Su Ru objected. “Xue Ling’s isn’t suited to killing people.”

Li Hanyan giggled. “Sister Su, killing people is not scary, just think about all the evil things they did, their victims and of how many people that will be saved after they die. It’ll be delightful!”

“I just can’t stand the sight of blood.” Su Ru frowned.

Li Hanyan argued, “Sister Xue Ling isn’t afraid of blood.”

“Ah… You guys…” Su Ru shook her head as she laughed.

While she had always been cultivating martial arts, there had not been an incident that required her to fight since she started serving by Xiao Qi’s side, they only needed to get the High Duke’s Public House’s Protectors to do everything for them. That was why she had never seen bloodshed and did not want to see it, ever.
