Master, please don’t bring Feng Aotian back again!

"Although it's true, if Luo Yeqing heard you say that, he would beat you up again."

Chu Jiangli's suggestion made Lin Li smile bitterly.

"But have you ever thought that once a cognition is solidified, it is difficult to change it?"

"The bad reputation of Changming Sect is an old problem. In fact, if it weren't for your master's Tribulation Crossing Stage, and the fact that each faction was wary of their own and couldn't cooperate sincerely, this sect would have been gone long ago."

"Have you ever thought about why almost everyone in this world is using Changming Sect as a springboard for evil deeds? All the dirty water is thrown on Changming?"

Lin Li should know.

The rise of Changming Sect and Luo Yeqing was built on the corpses of two major traditional sects.

"Xuanmo Ridge and Yeming Pavilion."

Chu Jiangli picked up the wine glass and drank it all:

"These two are the first and second largest sects. They are not only the kings of the martial arts world, but also the face and pillars of the empire. Xuanyu can maintain the governance of the country, and a large part of it depends on them."

"As a result, Luo Yeqing uprooted the foundation by herself, and she had no intention of replacing it. If such a person is not destroyed, what will happen to the country? What will happen to the martial arts world?"

"The Changming Sect is too small; it cannot compare to the Empire in terms of propaganda; it can kill those who are hypocritical. Can a fishing rod catch the whole ocean?"

Chu Jiangli's words left Lin Li silent.

The young man had always thought that the collapse of the Changming Sect was mostly the result of deliberate actions by the evil cults.

I never thought that the government and the opposition were involved behind this.

But more importantly, he never imagined that the fall of those two sects would have such a far-reaching impact.

"Two scums who are in cahoots with each other. One wants to refine life and ascend to heaven through flesh and blood; the other wants to get involved in the world and want to dominate alone."

"Isn't it a good thing that they are gone?"

No matter what, Lin Li never felt that his master had done anything wrong.

"If it's an ordinary cult, it will collapse. But if it's a giant thing that collapses, have you ever thought about how many people it will crush to death?"

"Not to mention, if you don't remove the roots, the grass will grow again in the spring breeze."

Chu Jiangli, swaying his wine glass, gazed at the vast sky and reminded with a faint smile in the person of a leisurely cloud.

Xuanming Mountain...

Lin Li grasped that fleeting thread.

No wonder this evil cult has been at odds with our sect since its birth.

"Xiao Li."

A gentle voice sounded.

Lin Li raised his head and met Chu Jiangli's caring eyes.

Ye He's heterochromatic pupils reflected the boy she had watched grow up:

"This is a difficult road to take, so think carefully."

Lin Li didn't say anything.

Just stroking the wall of the cup.

Countless carriages and horses passed by.

But in Lin Li's mind was only the excitement of his fellow disciples when they learned about Changshengtian.

Bai Lanyu fought with all her might.

There was also the smile that flashed across the corner of Master’s mouth.

The young man took a deep breath.

Is the road difficult to walk on?

difficult.

But when everything is going well, how can people give up their fantasies about the future?

"Aunt Chu."

"In five days, our sect will hold a martial arts competition. Then, why don't you come and be a judge?"

There aren't any direct answers.

But it was enough for Chu Jiangli to clearly understand the young man's character.

"After all, he is Luo Yeqing's adopted child. When it comes to the critical moment, his temperament is exactly the same as hers."

Chu Jiangli picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then smiled at Lin Li and said:

"Okay, but don't look down on your Aunt Chu for being just a backward fellow in the Mahayana stage."

"According to Aunt Chu, there are too many backward people in this world."

"including you?"

Lin Li avoided the topic and smiled without saying anything.

But the moment he picked up the wine glass.

On the street not far away.

But there was a figure that looked quite familiar to him and was surrounded by several people.

"Xiao Yun'er?"

21. Is it just a coincidence? Or...

boom.

Chu Jiangli was gone in just a blink of an eye.

The young man who was sitting opposite him just now suddenly flew away.

The gust of wind created by the storm knocked the guests nearby to the ground. They finally managed to steady themselves, but the whole table of delicious food was gone.

The guest was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up, but was kicked back by Chu Jiangli.

The casual cultivator who had soared into the air with the force took a closer look and saw that Lin Li, wearing a straw raincoat and a straw hat, was like a wolf among a flock of sheep.

He single-handedly knocked over a group of burly guards.

While everyone was falling to the ground and wailing.

Lin Li quickly stepped forward, put his arm around the girl's shoulders, and said with concern:

"Xiao Yun'er, why are you here?"

Unexpectedly, the girl turned around.

But the strangeness and vigilance in those eyes pierced deeply into Lin Li's eyes:

"who are you?"

For a moment, Lin Li had no idea what to say.

This girl is basically no different from Xiao Yun'er except that she has loose hair and a light touch of rouge on her face.

Chu Jiangli saw the flash of surprise on Lin Li's face from afar, and immediately understood what was going on, and shook his head helplessly.

"you……"

Lin Li was hesitating when a group of servants who had been knocked over by him earlier finally rushed up.

It was no surprise that he drew his sword in public.

"Protect His Highness!"

Lin Li, who was struck by swords and axes in just a moment, could only stand straight with his legs, as if he was not afraid of the sharp edges around him at all.

He just stared at the girl in front of him, his eyes full of disbelief.

How could there be two people in this world who look so alike?

"I don't know you."

The girl, whose appearance was exactly like Xiao Yun'er, had an extraordinary status. To be honored as a princess, she must have a close relationship with the current emperor.

Are you saying that Xiao Yun'er escaped from the palace?

Lin Li just couldn't believe it. The little girl had grown up in the inn at the foot of the mountain. How could she become a princess out of nowhere?

but……

She really looks like Xiao Yun'er, not only in appearance, but also in her aura. This is the fundamental reason why Lin Li is so anxious.

It's no big deal if you make a mistake if they look alike, but it's generally impossible to make a mistake in their aura.

The only difference is her temperament as a princess.

The natural imperial majesty.

"Oh my, I'm here to see Your Highness."

And when His Highness narrowed his brows and was about to signal his men to arrest the uninvited guest who charged forward without saying a word.

The sudden burst of jokes made His Highness's eyes wander.

Looking over, I saw General Chu coming in gracefully, bowing slightly in front of His Highness with his hands clasped.

"Oh, what's wrong with you? You don't even recognize His Highness? Why don't you apologize quickly?"

The flawless acting seemed as if he really didn't notice what had just happened.

Chu Jiangli walked into the crowd's encirclement, raised his hand and hit Lin Li on the forehead.

"Don't be surprised, Your Highness. This guy came from the mountains and has never seen the world."

His Highness seemed to be an old acquaintance of Chu Jiangli. When he saw the other party coming, the joy that flashed across his face could not be hidden.

However, she still had to maintain the dignity of the royal family, so she waved her hand, signaling the group of swordsmen to withdraw.

"Okay, you guys can leave now."

The guards, who should have refused again, felt that His Highness's eyes flashed with cruelty, so they dared not speak.

He hurriedly put away the axe and dragged his unconscious colleague out.

"This is the eldest daughter of the current emperor, Shangguan Jin."

When there was no one around, Chu Jiangli embraced Lin Li, pressed him down and whispered in his ear.

Only after Chu Jiangli said this did Lin Li completely give up the idea that the other person was Xiao Yun'er.

"Sister Chu, why are you here in Xuanyi City?"

Although Shangguan Jin was talking to Chu Jiangli, his eyes hardly moved away from Lin Li.

In her eyes, although this guy was dressed in rags, his eyes were deep, as if there was a lot of thought hidden in them.

The bamboo hat covers the tied-up part of the hair, while the rest of the hair and the straw raincoat complement each other, giving a sense of being a knight-errant.

"Just happened to be passing by."

Chu Jiangli chuckled and glanced sideways, just in time to see Lin Li looking at Her Royal Highness the Princess in the same undisguised manner.

"They are royals after all, don't stare at them."

It was only after Chu Jiangli reminded him that Lin Li finally reacted and quickly bowed:

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I misread it."

General Chu was speechless for a while.

Even his apology in front of the palace was so direct. Shangguan Le was destined to be beaten to death in the court.

"No problem."

Shangguan Jin did not hold a grudge against Lin Li for his actions, even though he did knock down his own guards right away.

However, Her Royal Highness the Princess has long found the arrangements made by her father annoying.

Lin Li was so concerned that he accidentally helped His Highness to get a small revenge, so Shangguan Jin naturally didn't care.

"The little Yun'er you mentioned looks a lot like me?"
