Chu Li suddenly said, "Fa Yuan is here."
He disappeared in a flash and appeared in front of the main entrance of the Imperial Residence of King An. Fa Yuan's grey robe fluttered in the wind as he arrived at the entrance. When he saw Chu Li, he pressed his palms together and bowed. "Brother Chu."
Chu Li studied his expression. "It's good news, isn't it?"
Fa Yuan smiled and nodded. "Fortunately, I made it in time. My martial arts were not crippled."
"Our luck is pretty good," Chu Li said.
If the three of them were crippled of their martial arts, of course, he would come out to seek justice. He might even cripple the three monks of the Tempest Temple.
Fa Yuan asked, "Should we release them?"
"There's no hurry," Chu Li said.
Fa Yuan smiled. "What do you have in mind, Brother Chu?"
Chu Li brought him into the Imperial Residence of King An as he spoke. Upon entering his courtyard, Fa Yuan saw Lu Yurong and pressed his palms together. "Miss Lu."
Lu Yurong pressed her palms together and bowed. "Monk Fa Yuan, you didn't leave Fairy's Capital?"
"I'm currently cultivating in the Mercy Temple." Fa Yuan smiled.
"Are you going to stay in the Fairy's Capital forever?" Lu Yurong asked.
Fa Yuan smiled and said, "It's inevitable for me to be a little greedy for the Fairy's Capital."
Lu Yurong looked at him with a frown. "Don't tell me that the Tempest Temple is up to something again?"
"Miss Lu is too serious." Fa Yuan shook his head and smiled. "Our temple will not participate in the succession of the throne."
Lu Yurong was very sharp. She immediately understood why Chu Li knew about the crown prince. She scoffed and said, "The Tempest Temple really has a long reach. The Imperial House is so well-informed. I'm impressed!"
Fa Yuan pressed his palms together.
Chu Li said, "Fa Yuan, help me send the Ning brothers to the Public House."
Lu Yurong knew about the three Ning brothers like the back of her hand. She said in surprise, "You're trying to steal from the Secret Guardians Hall. If the Emperor finds out, he won't forgive you. Once a secret guardian, always a secret guardian. You'd better be careful!"
Chu Li scoffed. "What do you mean by 'once a secret guardian, always a secret guardian'? Haven't I been thrown out?"
Lu Yurong pursed her lips and chuckled, "How did you offend the Emperor?"
Chu Li said, "A Saint's heart is hard to predict … Fa Yuan, can you do it?"
"Very well." Fa Yuan nodded and smiled. "Three days later, the person will be sent to the High Duke's Public House. No one else will know about this."
Chu Li thanked him.
Lu Yurong said, "If someone finds out, especially Gu Yu, they'll report you. The Emperor will definitely hold you accountable. Don't be thrown to guard the Imperial Mausoleum by the Emperor again. That'll be interesting!"
She smiled sweetly, looking forward to it.
If that was the case, he wouldn't have to worry about Chu Li again.
Chu Li said, "Don't worry, if they stay in the Public House, no one will find out, as long as you don't tell anyone! Yurong, don't mess around! "
"Don't worry." Lu Yurong smiled.
She turned to Fa Yuan. "Monk, your Tempest Temple has always been indifferent to King Jing. Do you have any opinions about him?"
Monk Fa Yuan shook his head. "King Jing is a wise ruler."
Lu Yurong scoffed, "That's good."
Chu Li smiled and said, "Yurong, you've worked hard enough as an advisor. Why bother? In my opinion, you should retire now and return to the Ren Public House. You should lay low for a while."
Lu Yurong frowned at him.
Chu Li said, "You're a woman after all. If word gets out that King Jing's advisor is a woman, everyone will feel bad."
Lu Yurong remained silent.
Chu Li smiled and said, "There's no one who can threaten King Jing now. It's useless for you to be so nervous. If there's a problem, you'll be able to turn the tide. Only then will you be able to show your ability and importance. Otherwise, King Jing won't appreciate you. He might try everything to get rid of you, thinking that you're an eyesore."
Lu Yurong was annoyed. "What do you mean?"
"I'm afraid that you'll have a bad ending if you're too powerful." Chu Li smiled and said, "It's always been done. King Jing is the next Emperor. Being with the emperor is like being with a tiger. Don't think that everything will be fine just because he's your uncle. You should be more careful!"
Lu Yurong was very intelligent. With her by King Jing's side, there would be many obstacles to do anything. It was inevitable that she would see through him. It would be best if she left. Even if she did not leave, it would be good to provoke the trust between Lu Yurong and King Jing. Who knew when it would explode in the future and affect the overall situation.
Lu Yurong was deep in thought. She then realized and scoffed. "You're not making me feel at ease!"
Chu Li smiled. "I'm just doing this out of kindness."
"Hmph, there's no need." Lu Yurong scoffed.
Fa Yuan said, "Miss Lu, I also think that Brother Chu is right."
"Forget it. I can't be bothered to talk to you." Lu Yurong waved her hand. She floated up the wall and disappeared.

Lu Yurong returned to the Imperial Residence of King Jing. When she came to the backyard, she saw Consort Jing sitting in the pagoda reading. She entered the pagoda and greeted, "Aunt."
Consort Jing was dressed in colorful clothes. Although her beautiful face had lost some of its beauty due to the passage of time, she still retained her beauty. In addition, she had a demure and elegant temperament. She was dignified and calm.
She gently put down the book and smiled. "Where did you go?"
"The Imperial Residence of King An." Lu Yurong sat opposite her.
Consort Jing said, "I heard that Young Lu went to challenge Head Chief Chu?"
"Yes." Lu Yurong chuckled. "He doesn't know his place. He thinks that Chu Li doesn't live up to his reputation!"
"What was the outcome?" Consort Jing asked.
Lu Yurong shook her head and smiled. "Aunt, guess."
"He didn't win against Head Chief Chu?"
"He couldn't even take one hit."
"That's a huge difference?"
"It's like heaven and earth. He couldn't even take half a hit!" Lu Yurong shook her head. "He finally understands that it's not easy to stay in the Fairy's Capital. Fame isn't that easy to come by."
"This will be a huge blow to Young Lu." Consort Jing sighed. "Yurong, you have to take care of Young Lu."
Lu Yurong said impatiently, "Although he's a talent, uncle-in-law doesn't have to think so highly of him."
"Yurong, you're not young anymore." Consort Jing said.
Lu Yurong was smart. Once she heard Consort Jing's words, she immediately reacted. She frowned. "Do you want me to marry him?"
"Your uncle-in-law thinks that he's good enough for you." Consort Jing said.
Lu Yurong laughed. "He's good enough for me? Uncle-in-law thinks too highly of him! "
"Your uncle-in-law didn't expect that he couldn't even defeat Head Chief Chu in one hit. He thought that it would be a draw." Consort Jing smiled bitterly and shook her head. "It's not that Young Lu can't do it. It's that Head Chief Chu is too powerful."
"I just came from Chu Li's place. Fa Yuan was there too. The Tempest Temple already knows about the Emperor's crown prince appointment." Lu Yurong said lightly.
"The Tempest Temple is indeed omnipotent. They're everywhere." Consort Jing said, "Sigh …"
She let out a faint sigh.
Yurong had always had her eyes set on the top of her head. Among the young men in the world, only Chu Li and Fa Yuan caught her eye. How could she pay attention to other men?
