Due to their close relationship with the Emperor, they did not hesitate to ask for the reason.
Leng Wufeng sighed. "He wants a Primary Heaven Pill to recover his martial arts. If I don't give him the Primary Heaven Pill, he won't take the case!"
"This young fella is too bold. How dare he threaten the Emperor?" The chubby elder laughed.
The Thin Elder frowned. "Isn't he afraid that the Emperor will be enraged and send him back to the Imperial Mausoleum?"
"I wish I could send him back to the Imperial Mausoleum!" Leng Wufeng scoffed. "But King An's Imperial Residence can't do without him now. The orphans and widows are pitiful, they can only rely on him!"
If he punished Chu Li, who was the head chief of King An's Imperial Residence, what would the others think?
If that happened, King An's Imperial Residence would be in a more difficult situation. It would be like adding snow to snow, and he could not bring himself to do that.
"That's why he's so unscrupulous, isn't it?" The thin old man said in a deep voice.
Leng Wufeng shook his head. "He's strong without desires, he doesn't want to get involved in the Fairy's Capital. He's satisfied to be the son-in-law of the High Duke's Public House. A hero's home is the grave of a gentle man! I can't wait to throw him into the Imperial Mausoleum right now! "
"What should we do?" The Thin Elder frowned. "This fella is a pain in the neck, he's hard to deal with!"
"The only thing we can do now is to use the Primary Heaven Pill." Leng Wufeng shook his head and laughed. "Although I'm the Emperor, I can't do whatever I want. I'll still be forced by this fella to hand over the Primary Heaven Pill!"
"Is there no one better than him!" The Thin Elder scoffed. "There are so many powerful people in the Fairy's Capital."
"In terms of investigating cases, nobody can compare to him." Leng Wufeng nodded. "He's solved all the cases that he handled. No matter how difficult the case is, he can always solve it!"
"He's that good?" The chubby elder chuckled. "He's a strange person indeed. It's a common problem for him to be arrogant. Since he's so capable, it's understandable for him to be a little arrogant, isn't it?"
Leng Wufeng nodded. "As long as he can solve the case in three days, it's fine to give him a Primary Heaven Pill!"
"How can you confuse what the Emperor gave him with what he forced the Emperor to give? This kind of official should be severely punished!" The Thin Elder said hatefully.
"If we punish him, where are we going to find people to solve the case?" The fat old man laughed. "Your Majesty, he's a genius after all. Don't lower yourself to his level."
Leng Wufeng nodded.
"Then shall we make another trip?" The fat old man smiled and said, "Shall we give him the Primary Heaven Pill?"
"He has the nerve to come out?" The Thin Elder snorted and said, "Didn't you say that he would only be able to return in five to six days? Now that we have given him the Heavenly Yuan Pill, he will immediately come out. Isn't it obvious that he is lying?"
"That's true." The fat old man nodded. "It seems that solving the case in three days is impossible."
"Let's take a look," Leng Wufeng said.
"Yes." The Thin Elder said in a deep voice.
Leng Wufeng ordered, "Men, bring me a Heaven Primary Pill!"
"Yes." The old attendant floated out.
After a while, he returned with a small box in his hand. It was dark purple and faintly glowed. One look and anyone could tell that it was not an ordinary object.
The old attendant presented it with both hands, and Leng Wufeng took it and opened it.
He stared blankly at the pill and looked like he was reminiscing, then he sighed. "I obtained this Primary Heaven Pill when I was young and roamed the martial arts world. I didn't expect to use it today!"
"Your Majesty roamed the martial arts world when you were young?"
"Of course." Leng Wufeng smiled. "Your Majesty would be neglecting your duty if you know nothing about the martial arts world. After all, the martial arts world is a place that you can't avoid."
"Did you make a name for yourself, Your Majesty?" The fat old man asked curiously.
Leng Wufeng shook his head. "I didn't make a name for myself. I'm just a nobody."
"Based on Your Majesty's martial arts, that shouldn't be the case. You must be keeping a low profile on purpose, right?" The fat old man chuckled.
Leng Wufeng shook his head. "My martial arts back then weren't that great."
He looked like he was reminiscing. There was a hint of confusion and melancholy on his face, but there was also a hint of sweetness as he smiled faintly.
The two old men knew that he was thinking about women when they saw his expression.
The fat old man was curious. He asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, did you meet a woman you like?"
"Yes." Leng Wufeng admitted right away. "I met a stunning beauty back then, and we got along well. Unfortunately …"
In the end, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Emperors have the least freedom in the world."
He then waved his hand. "Forget it, let's not talk about this. This Primary Heaven Pill is very important to me, so I really don't want to take it out unless I have no other choice but to give it to him!"
"This b * stard!" The thin old man scoffed. "Actually, it's fine if you don't give it to him. Doesn't he have a wife? Give his wife a small reward, and he'll come out to help obediently."
This was both a reward and a threat. If he did not agree to it, he would punish his wife.
They had just gotten married, so it was a sweet time. His wife was the most important to him, so she could directly grasp his Achilles' heel.
"Forget it, he needs martial arts too, or he'll have an excuse if he can't solve the case." Leng Wufeng shook his head. "His martial arts were crippled because of my order. Helping him recover his martial arts will be considered as compensation!"
"Your Majesty, you're broad-minded. I'm impressed!" The fat old man fist saluted.
—
The two of them arrived at King An's Imperial Residence again. This time, they did not make a big deal out of it.
Xiao Shi and Xiao Qi personally came out to welcome them.
The two of them entered the main hall, sat down, and took a sip of tea.
The thin old man placed the purple box on the table and pushed it in front of Xiao Qi. "Madam Chu, Princess Xiao, we're following the Emperor's orders to hand this Primary Heaven Pill to Chief Chu so that he can solve Minister Li's case within three days."
"Solve the case in three days?" Xiao Qi frowned.
Xiao Shi smiled. "Sure, no problem. He'll be back soon."
The fat old man chuckled. "Isn't it going to take six to seven days at the earliest? His Isolated Cultivation is quite far away from Fairy's Capital. "
"We have our own ways!" Xiao Shi said impatiently. "As long as Chu Li recovers his martial arts, he'll be back tonight and can investigate the case tomorrow!"
"Oh?" The fat old man smiled at her.
The thin old man said in a deep voice, "Could it be that he is hiding in the Prince's Mansion?"
"You're imagining things. You're gauging the heart of a gentleman with your own mean measure!" Xiao Shi scoffed. "We'll send a carrier pigeon to deliver the pill. He'll recover his martial arts after consuming it and will be back in no time. If he doesn't recover his martial arts, it'll take him six to seven days on horseback!"
"I see!" The fat old man laughed.
The two of them were even more certain that Chu Li was hiding in the Imperial Residence. This young man was extremely daring!
"Since the Primary Heaven Pill is here, we won't keep you here for long. Hurry up and give it to him!" Xiao Shi said. "Don't waste time. If you can't solve the case, you'll betray the Emperor's trust."
"That's right." The thin old man stood up and fist saluted. "Consume the spirit pill. If you can't solve the case in three days, you'll be letting this Primary Heaven Pill down!"
"That's right." Xiao Shi waved her hand and smiled.
