PS: There will only be one update at noon.
Zhuo Feiyang sat quietly by the table. He was dressed in a green robe. His face was like jade, and his eyes were like stars.
He was casually fiddling with his silver cup as he looked out of the window. His gaze was blank.
Chu Li, who had transformed into a middle-aged man, sat opposite him and asked, "What's the matter?"
His appearance had changed, but his voice remained the same. Zhuo Feiyang knew it was Chu Li.
Zhuo Feiyang did not turn around. He continued to fiddle with his cup as he looked out of the window. "I'm afraid my identity is going to be exposed."
Chu Li asked, "What happened?"
Zhuo Feiyang's identity was a mix of truth and falsehood, so there was no question of whether his identity would be exposed or not. Zhuo Feiyang had only been contacting Chu Li, and Chu Li had always approached him as a stranger. There was no evidence at all, so Chu Li could not just say that Zhuo Feiyang was a problem, then everyone else was a problem.
As the two sat opposite each other, Chu Li could clearly see Zhuo Feiyang's serious expression.
"There's a new guest in the Imperial Residence of King Jing. You should know about it. It's the heir of Tide-listening Pavilion, Lu Guangdi." Zhuo Feiyang frowned.
"Yes, he challenged me before." Chu Li nodded. "I heard he's a powerful person."
Zhuo Feiyang scoffed. "He's annoying. He has his eyes on me."
"How did he target you?" Chu Li asked. "Did you guys fight?"
"Yes, I'm no match for him." Zhuo Feiyang frowned. "Fighting him feels like I'm fighting you. I have the upper hand at every turn. My hands and feet are tied. It's suffocating!"
Chu Li frowned.
He was able to do this because he had the Omniscient Mirror. It could see through people's hearts, so of course he had the upper hand.
Xiao Qi could do it, Lu Yurong could do it, and now there was Lu Guangdi.
"Did you guys compete with palm or sword?" Chu Li asked. "Is his martial arts outstanding?"
"I don't think it's about martial arts. His martial arts isn't that powerful. His techniques are ordinary, and he only uses them at the right time. That's why he's able to restrain me. When others fight him, they feel the same way. It's very frustrating! "
Chu Li pondered and slowly nodded. "Is he like this too? He has the upper hand at every turn?"
"… Seems like it." Zhuo Feiyang said, "It's as if he can read people's minds. He is an extremely intelligent person, just like Miss."
It's as if he can see through people. He's extremely smart, just like Lady. "
The Zhuo Feiyang was referring to was Xiao Qi.
If Xiao Qi could see through people's minds, then so could he. Since Zhuo Feiyang felt the same way when facing Lu Guangdi, it meant that Lu Guangdi also had the same supernatural ability to see through people's minds.
"He's been suspecme recently." Zhuo Feiyang frowned.
Chu Li frowned. "What's his status in the Imperial Residence of King Jing?"
"King Jing thinks very highly of him," Zhuo Feiyang said. "He asks for his opinion on everything."
"If he continues, he," Zhuo, Li, Yang. and Feather., a, a.
"If this continues, he will definitely find me," Zhuo Feiyang said.
Chu Li chuckled. "You're too timid. What right does he have to expose you? Did you do anything to hinder the Imperial Residence of King Jing? With. Li, he, King, he he, he, he, he.
"But I …" Zhuo Feiyang frowned.
Chu Li said, "Your identity and background are very clear. You're an abandoned general of the Yi Public House. You have a grudge against the Yi Public House. Even if you're loyal to the Yi Public House, it's not a big deal. The Imperial Residence of King Jing and the Yi Public House are not enemies."
"I'm afraid that he won't listen to what I have to say and will just kill me." Zhuo Feiyang shook his head. "He's a Foreign Advisor, he can command the Protectors of the Imperial Residence."
He was not even Lu Guangdi's match in a one-on-one fight, let alone with the Imperial Residence's Protectors.
"Will King Jing attack you?" Chu Li asked calmly.
Zhuo Feiyang shook his head.
"Who calls the shots in the Public House?" Chu Li asked.
Zhuo Feiyang replied, "King Jing will be in charge of the important matters, while Lu Yurong will be in charge of the small matters."
"Lu Yurong hasn't left yet?" Chu Li frowned.
Zhuo Feiyang said, "Lu Yurong has been staying at King Jing's Imperial Residence for quite some time now. She is King Jing's most trusted confidante. Almost everything goes through her hands. There are even many things that King Jing does not know about. She was the one who handled them all."
Chu Li furrowed his brows and sighed.
He did not expect Lu Yurong's status to rise so quickly. When he was in Fairy's Capital, Lu Yurong was only a guest at King Jing's Imperial Residence. She did not fully join King Jing's side.
Now, it seemed like Lu Yurong was going all out to support King Jing and help him seize the throne.
He knew Lu Yurong's capabilities better than anyone else. Her martial arts might not be as good as his, but her wisdom was definitely not inferior to his. She might even be better than him. After all, he was only able to suppress her because of the Omniscient Mirror. If not for the Omniscient Mirror's ability to see through people's minds, he would not be a match for Lu Yurong.
"Don't worry. If Lu Yurong is in charge, she won't do anything to you," Chu Li said.
Although Lu Yurong hated the Yi Public House, she had some friendly relations with him. If she really realized that Zhuo Feiyang was his chess piece, she would not kill him. Instead, she would propose a trade. This was in line with her character.
"Then what's the relationship between Lu Guangdi and Lu Yurong?" Chu Li asked.
"Lu Guangdi seems to like Lu Yurong," Zhuo Feiyang said.
Chu Li glanced at him and said, "Does Lu Guangdi have to listen to Lu Yurong, or does he have to stay out of it?"
"He has to listen to Lu Yurong as well," Zhuo Feiyang said. "However, Lu Guangdi seems to be unconvinced. He thinks that he can't listen to a woman, especially a woman that he likes. He has always wanted to surpass Lu Yurong. That's why he challenged you earlier."
Chu Li thought about it. "Unconvinced by Lu Yurong … Interesting."
"Lu Yurong doesn't seem to mind," Zhuo Feiyang said.
Chu Li smiled. "I know Lu Yurong's temper. She's the only one in the world. She won't tolerate anyone provoking her. You should bear with it for now. I think he'll be in trouble soon. Lu Yurong is not someone to be trifled with!"
"Alright." Zhuo Feiyang nodded helplessly. "I hope that before Lu Yurong takes care of him, she won't kick me out of the Imperial Residence."
He had put in so much effort and used so much time to finally stand firm. He really did not want all his efforts to go to waste.
Once he was kicked out of the Imperial Residence, how could he raise his head in front of Chu Li?
Although Chu Li was now famous in the Fairy's Capital and was even known as the Chu Li of the North, Zhuo Feiyang had always thought that he could reach Chu Li's level as long as he worked hard and encountered some opportunities. He was not completely convinced.
Chu Li said a few more words to him and told him to calm down. Then, he stood up and left.
After leaving the restaurant, he walked along the main road for about a mile before turning into a small alley. He wanted to take a shortcut back to the Imperial Residence.
A handsome young man in a blue tunic blocked the alley's path. He stood in the middle of the alley and smiled at Chu Li. It was Lu Guangdi.
Chu Li frowned at him and continued walking forward.
Lu Guangdi coldly said, "Stop."
Chu Li stood still and looked at him. "What business do you have, Your Excellency?"
"Who are you?" Lu Guangdi calmly asked.
Chu Li replied, "Why should I tell you who I am? Get out of my way, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Lu Guangdi chuckled and shook his head. "Zhuo Feiyang really has a problem!"
He could sense that Chu Li did not know any martial arts, but he could not see through him. There was an invisible force blocking him from seeing through Chu Li's heart.
