Chu Li's face darkened. He scoffed and said, "Let's go. We'll talk inside!"
"Yes." Liang Liang felt suffocated, and the immense pressure was like a mountain pressing down on him. His legs trembled, and he involuntarily wanted to kneel down, but he did his best to resist.
He followed Chu Li into the Imperial Residence of King An and quickly sat down in the main hall.
"What are the three Ning brothers doing?" Chu Li sat on the armchair and pointed to the opposite side. He frowned and said, "There aren't any cases in the Secret Guardians Hall right now, right?"
"No cases." Liang sat opposite him and shook his head. "I don't know what the three Ning brothers are doing. I haven't seen them for a few days. After asking around, no one has seen them. It's as if they've disappeared."
"They left without saying anything?"
"No." Liang shook his head and said, "If they don't show up tomorrow, the Commander will issue an arrest warrant and announce that they have betrayed the Secret Guardians Hall!"
"Nonsense!" Chu Li scoffed.
? Liang said helplessly, "They haven't been seen for seven days, and they didn't even inform us in advance. It's really suspicious that they left without a sound, so … the commander asked me to inform the Head Chief."
"I'm not a member of the Secret Guardians Hall now. Do as you please, Commander," Chu Li said coldly.
? Liang groaned to himself.
The more he put it in such a manner, the more troublesome it would be. If they really sent out a wanted notice, then they would start a huge feud. They knew the Head Chief's capabilities. The Secret Guardians Hall was not afraid that the Head Chief would go against them, but they were afraid that he would stand by and do nothing when they needed his help.
For example, the case of Minister Li's family being massacred had caused a sensation in Fairy's Capital. The Emperor had ordered for the case to be solved. Without the Head Chief's help, it would be difficult for the Secret Guardians Hall to solve the case on their own. It was inevitable that the Emperor would think that they were incompetent.
Accompanying the Emperor was like accompanying a tiger. The Emperor's heart was unpredictable. After two or three times, the Secret Guardians Hall would welcome a huge change, and most people would be out of luck.
? Liang said embarrassedly, "What the Commander meant was for the Head Steward to help out and see if you can find them and inform them."
Chu Li frowned and looked at him. "Commander, are you saying that I'm the one who ordered this?"
"I don't have such intentions!" Liang quickly waved his hand.
Chu Li scoffed. "I'll give it a try. Whether or not I can find it depends on the outcome. Don't get your hopes up."
"It won't be a problem if the Head Chief takes action." Liang hurriedly smiled.
Chu Li said, "Wait a moment, let me take a look."
"Yes." Liang cupped his fists.
Chu Li returned to his courtyard and took out a small box from the cupboard. Inside the box were a few strands of hair. He used the All-Seeing Divine Technique to sense the location of the Ning Brothers, and his face slowly darkened.
He actually couldn't sense the three of them. It was as if the three of them had completely disappeared from the world.
Unwilling to give up, he tried again, but there was still no sign of the three people.
There were two possibilities for this to happen. One was that they were wearing items that could suppress divine powers, or they were within the range of treasures, like the Titanium Temple and the Tempest Temple. The second possibility was that they were already dead.
He went to the lobby. Liang was drinking tea and waiting patiently.
"Head Chief?" Seeing him enter, Liang hurriedly stood up and cupped his fists.
Chu Li's face darkened as he shook his head. "This isn't good. I can't sense them. Either they've gone to a special place, or they're dead … Your Commander shouldn't issue a wanted notice, just send someone to look for them!"
"This …?" Liang smiled bitterly.
He knew that his Commander was not a magnanimous person. The Ning Brothers did not listen to the Commander's orders at all. The Commander hated them to the core and would not let go of such an opportunity. He must punish them as a warning to the others.
Chu Li said, "Tell Commander Gu that it's up to him whether to listen or not."
"Yes." Liang sighed in relief.
Chu Li waved his hand. "Go do what you need to do."
"Goodbye." Liang hurriedly cupped his fists and left.
Watch? As Liang's figure disappeared, Chu Li paced back and forth in the lobby with his hands behind his back. Finally, he called out to Chief Zhu and asked him to send someone to look for Yang Zongwen.
Yang Zongwen soon arrived. He was dressed in a blue tunic and looked energetic.
"Centurion." Yang Zongwen bowed respectfully.
"Sit down and talk." Chu Li sat on the armchair and waved his hand. "What's going on with the Ning Brothers?"
"The Ning Brothers?" Yang Zongwen was about to sit on the armchair opposite him when he heard Chu Li's question. "The three of them were ordered by the Commander to track down a Tempest Temple disciple."
"A Tempest Temple disciple?" Chu Li frowned. "A Tempest Temple disciple stirred up trouble again?"
"The Commander said that Minister Li's case might be related to the Tempest Temple, so he sent the Ning Brothers to take a look," Yang Zongwen said.
Chu Li's face darkened and he sneered. "Commander Gu, what a good move!"
The Tempest Temple would not be polite to the secret guardians of the Secret Guardians Hall. They would cripple their martial arts and throw them in a place where no one could find them. Just like Qin Jin and the other five, they would slowly die of old age and live an ordinary life.
If he knew that the Ning Brothers would end up like this, he would definitely fight the Tempest Temple out of anger.
From Gu Yu's point of view, he was no match for the Tempest Temple. He might even be crippled by the Tempest Temple and end up like Qin Jin and the others. This tactic of killing with a borrowed knife was truly impressive.
Gu Yu was not good at doing things, but he was good at harming people!
Chu Li scoffed. "The Commander said that the Ning Brothers disappeared without a trace. It seems like they've defected. He's going to issue an arrest warrant!"
Yang Zongwen was stunned. "No way? They were personally sent by Commander Gu! "
Chu Li scoffed. "It seems like he hates the Mei Er Courtyard to the core. He's determined to remove this thorn!"
"We're disobeying orders, but there's no need to resort to such means, is there?" Yang Zongwen frowned. "This is too much, too disappointing!"
"This is a warning to everyone. Let's see who dares to disobey orders!" Chu Li sneered. "Even if the Emperor finds out, he won't say anything!"
Yang Zongwen frowned and thought for a while. "The plan now is to get the Ning Brothers back as soon as possible! … We'll have to ask the Centurion to take action. "
Chu Li shook his head. "I can't sense them! … How about this, you go to the Mercy Temple … Forget it, I'll go there myself. You go back first! "
With a wave of his hand, he disappeared.
The next moment, he appeared in front of the Mercy Temple outside Fairy's Capital. He said to the two novice monks outside the temple, "Two young masters, is Fa Yuan here? I'm Chu Li."
The Ci 'en Temple was bustling with pilgrims. It was bustling with noise and excitement.
Chu Li stood at the bottom of the stairs outside the temple with his hands behind his back. He was not afraid of Gu Yu issuing an arrest warrant, but he was worried about the Ning Brothers' lives.
One of the novice monks ran in while the other one looked at him curiously.
Fa Yuan soon appeared. His gray robe fluttered in the wind. He looked like a handsome tree in the wind. He stepped out of the temple and came to the bottom of the stairs. He pressed his palms together. "Brother Chu!"
Chu Li smiled. "I'm here to trouble you again."
"Brother Chu, you don't come to me for no reason. Let's talk in the meditation room." Fa Yuan smiled.
