PS: Update complete. I'm really sorry. My face hurts from the slap.
Lu Yu Rong clapped her hands, and a young lady floated over. She was beautiful and delicate, and gave a fist salute, "Miss?"
"Bring him back," Lu Yurong said.
"No need, I can walk by myself!" Lu Guangdi hurriedly said.
If he was really brought back, he would lose all his face.
Lu Yurong looked at Chu Li. "You didn't do anything bad, did you?"
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "It's best if you don't cultivate for twenty-four hours, or else …"
"Hmph!" Lu Guangdi sneered as he turned around and left.
Lu Yurong looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li shook his head.
Lu Yurong said, "Alright then. Escort him back, just in case something happens along the way."
"Yes," the elegant young lady replied crisply before leaving with Lu Guangdi.
Chu Li watched him leave and shook his head. "Let's talk inside!"
Lu Yurong followed him to his courtyard.
Lu Yurong looked around his courtyard. "Why don't I see Xiao Qi?"
"It's at the Tianshu Institute." Chu Li gestured for her to sit down and talk. Then, he personally brewed a cup of tea and handed it to her. "Just what kind of background does this Lu Guangdi have? Why are you so tolerant of him?"
He could tell that Lu Yurong was extremely impatient with Lu Guangdi. She could not wait to kill him, but she did not.
Lu Yurong said angrily, "This is a master that His Royal Highness recruited. How can I touch him!"
"That's not all, right?" Chu Li smiled.
Lu Yurong snorted.
Chu Li said, "It seems like King Jing has recruited Tide-listening Pavilion. Since King Jing has taken a liking to them, Tide-listening Pavilion must be very powerful!"
"You have a good relationship with King Ping, right?" Lu Yurong smiled.
She took off her white veil, revealing her charming face. Her smile was like a flower, dazzling and dazzling.
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "Don't worry, I won't get involved in the fight for the throne. Whether King Jing or King Ping becomes the Emperor, it has nothing to do with King An's Imperial Residence. I won't mistreat King An's Imperial Residence."
"That's true." Lu Yurong said lightly, "If you don't get involved, I won't mistreat you."
Chu Li smiled. "Is this King Jing's condition?"
"You could say that," Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li said, "I heard that they're going to appoint a crown prince?"
Lu Yurong squinted her eyes and looked at him thoughtfully.
This was the most confidential of secrets. Even in the Imperial House, there were no more than three people who knew about it. How could Chu Li know about it?
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "I got the news by accident, not by spying. No wonder you've been staying in the Fairy's Capital. You've reached the most crucial moment, haven't you?"
"That's right." Lu Yurong said slowly, "Did you hear anything else?"
Chu Li said, "King Ping has already relinquished his military power, so it's only natural for him to give up his position. The other Kings are no longer a threat to him, so it's inevitable that King Jing will become the crown prince. No one can stop him."
"Before the dust settles, how would you know if there are any changes!" Lu Yu Rong said, "You really don't have any other thoughts?"
Chu Li quickly waved his hand. "I don't want to get involved in this mess!"
Lu Yurong looked at him with a faint smile.
Both of them understood each other. She knew that Chu Li was not a quiet person. Although King An's Imperial Residence was no longer King An, there was still a successor. If he said that he had no other thoughts, it might not be true. The harder it was, the more he had to do it. For example, pushing Xu An to the crown prince's position!
Lu Yurong said, "The Young Prince of King An's Imperial Residence hasn't returned yet?"
Chu Li said, "He's in Isolated Cultivation. He won't be back for a while. It'll probably take a few years."
Lu Yurong scoffed. "I'm afraid he'll be back soon?"
Chu Li lifted his teacup and took a sip. He was relaxed. "The Young Prince is still young, so it's better for him to cultivate. It's better not to get involved in the adults' affairs. Moreover, as a Buddhist, there's no need for him to fight for the throne."
"That's good." Lu Yurong lifted her teacup and took a sip. She said, "I heard that Gu Yu is causing trouble for you?"
Chu Li frowned. "You have eyes and ears in the Secret Guardians Hall too?"
Lu Yurong chuckled. "Aren't you the same? We're the same. I don't believe that you don't have eyes and ears in the Imperial Residence of King Jing. "
Chu Li was stunned. He then laughed. "I'd like to have eyes and ears in the Imperial Residence of King Jing. Unfortunately, the Imperial Residence of King Jing is tightly guarded. I can't do anything about it."
"Oh?" Lu Yurong put down her teacup. Her smile was like a blooming flower. It was as if a hundred flowers had bloomed in front of her. Her face was radiant. "That Zhuo Feiyang isn't one of your men?"
Chu Li sighed. He smiled. "You can say that he's one of my men. After all, he's from the Yi Public House."
Lu Yurong's watery eyes were locked on his face. She wanted to see even the slightest change in him.
Unfortunately, Chu Li's expression did not seem to be fake. She could not tell if he was telling the truth. She smiled. "Zhuo Feiyang's aptitude is not bad. He can be groomed."
"His aptitude is not bad. Unfortunately, his temperament is lacking. Otherwise, he wouldn't be where he is now." Chu Li said lightly.
"His current achievements are already impressive. Does he want to be like you and me?" Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li sighed. "If his temperament is good enough, he might be able to achieve what we have."
Lu Yurong looked at him with a faint smile. "Looks like he's really your spy."
Chu Li smiled. He did not deny it. "You can say that."
Lu Yurong frowned at him.
Both of them seemed to be speaking normally. However, they were testing each other. If it was someone else, Lu Yurong would be able to see through them. However, she could not do so with Chu Li. The two of them were evenly matched.
Truth and falsehood. Chu Li had never lied. However, the truth could often lead people into a trap. It created an illusion and could not be completely trusted.
Chu Li sighed. Lu Yurong was indeed Lu Yurong. Zhuo Feiyang's efforts were wasted. From now on, he would not be able to get any useful information. He could only be a link between the two of them. If it was not convenient for Lu Yurong to come over, she could pass the message to Chu Li through Zhuo Feiyang.
However, Zhuo Feiyang still could not leave the Imperial Residence of King Jing. Every small change in the Imperial Residence was important. Even if Zhuo Feiyang could not get any confidential information, such general information was worth staying there.
"What do you plan to do with Gu Yu?" Lu Yurong smiled. "Do you need my help?"
Chu Li smiled at her.
Lu Yurong said, "How about we take him down?"
"He's favored by the Emperor. I can't take him down." Chu Li shook his head.
Lu Yurong said, "Then we'll move him away."
"I'll think of a way to get rid of Lu Guangdi," Chu Li said knowingly.
Lu Yurong pursed her lips and chuckled. "If that's the case, I'm the one at a disadvantage."
"Who else?" Chu Li asked. "Tell me."
"King Ping …" Lu Yurong smiled.
Chu Li waved his hand. "That's impossible. I won't use King Ping!"
"I'm not asking you to deal with King Ping. I'm just trying to find out what he's thinking." Lu Yurong rolled her eyes at him. "See what he's thinking."
Chu Li shook his head. "I'm friends with King Ping. Just like you and I, I won't trade my friends."
"… Alright then. I'll settle for the next best thing. Help me meet King Ping," Lu Yurong said.
This was why she trusted Chu Li. He was cunning but principled. She was assured that he would not betray her.
"I'm going to the Verdant Cloud Brothel with King Ping. You can come with me," Chu Li said.
