"My wife, you always like to worry." Sun Yucheng laughed. "What danger can I be in!"
"The Zheng Dynasty isn't the Li Dynasty. Your identity as a prince may not be useful." The beautiful woman shook her head. "If someone wants to harm you, you can only rely on yourself and your protectors to protect you. Just think about it …"
She shook her head and frowned with a worried expression.
"Don't worry, I'm tough. No one can do anything to me." Sun Yucheng smiled.
"Now that there are masters from the Holy Church of Light, I can rest assured." The beautiful woman sighed.
"Hmm, yes." Sun Yucheng disagreed but did not refute.
Masters from the Holy Church of Light were everywhere in the Li Dynasty and could be summoned at any time. However, that was the Zheng Dynasty, and the Holy Church of Light was beyond their reach. If something really happened, he would still have to rely on himself, Elder Su, Elder Ren, and even Zhao Dahe.
Even though Ninth Sister had praised Zhao Dahe to the point that he looked like a flower in her letter, he looked so young that he was not very reliable. Even if his martial arts were slightly better and he was really a martial arts prodigy like Ninth Sister had described, he might not necessarily be useful in the Zheng Dynasty.
However, since Ninth Sister had sent someone over, he had to be tactful and leave Zhao Dahe in the residence. No matter what, he had to bring him along.
"Husband, how many protectors do you want to bring this time?" The beautiful woman frowned. "Bring everyone in the residence."
"I'm going to travel." Sun Yucheng smiled. "Why should I bring so many people?"
"Ah …" The beautiful woman sighed.
Sun Yucheng smiled and patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm tough. I'll become the emperor in the future!"
"Husband, be careful with your words!" The beautiful woman quickly covered his mouth with her hand.
Sun Yucheng kissed her palm.
The beautiful woman quickly withdrew her hand and glared at him with a blushing face.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled as he sat at the stone table. It seemed like he had been underestimated. However, this was not a bad thing. He was only here to handle the task and not to build a good relationship with him. As long as he returned safely, he would be able to return to Gale City.
—
In the evening of the next day, after Chu Li had his meal, Chief Wei personally came to invite him.
Chu Li arrived at Sun Yucheng's courtyard and saw the beautiful and graceful Madam Sun as well as two skinny elders.
Chu Li closed fist saluted and said nothing.
The beautiful lady bowed at Chu Li. "Protector Zhao."
Chu Li gave a fist salute and said, "Madam, you don't have to do this. I don't deserve it."
The beautiful woman's voice was gentle, and her eyes were as clear as water. She glanced at the three of them and said, "Protector Zhao, Elder Su, Elder Ren, I'll have to trouble you to take care of my husband."
"Don't worry, Madam." The tall and thin old man squeezed out a smile. "We will do our best."
The short elder nodded.
Chu Li let out a smile.
This beautiful woman was a powerful figure. She did not care about her ugly appearance at all, and her expression did not change at all.
Chu Li had already made some discreet changes to his appearance. His facial features did not seem to have changed, but the feeling he gave off was not that eye-catching. At first glance, he looked ugly, but upon closer inspection, he had a unique charm.
"Madam, I'll send you a letter at any time." Sun Yucheng grinned. "I'll send you a letter every three days."
"Yes." Madam Sun nodded lightly. "Be careful when you go out, especially since the Zheng Dynasty's customs are different from ours. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Don't be too conspicuous."
"I understand, I understand." Sun Yucheng quickly nodded and interrupted her. "Let's go then!"
He walked out after he said that.
Madam Sun followed closely behind him and finally sent him to the main gate.
Four fine horses were already prepared. Sun Yucheng jumped on the horse's back eagerly, waved his hand, and galloped away.
The sound of the four horses' hooves broke the silence of this area. Soon, they galloped out of the main street and arrived at the bustling Central Street.
Sun Yucheng turned his head to take a look and sighed in relief. He shook his head helplessly. "Women!"
The tall and thin Elder Su smiled. "Madam is very affectionate towards you, Young Master."
"Even the best women can't help but nag." Sun Yucheng shook his head. "Mother is like that, and so is Madam. They're not as good as Ninth Sister …"
He stopped abruptly and shook his head without saying anything else.
The two old men stood on his left and right, protecting him. They let the steed move forward slowly in the never-ending stream of people.
Chu Li, on the other hand, followed behind the three of them silently.
It took them an hour to walk out of Central Street. This street was too long and crowded. Sometimes, they could not even walk and had to stop their horses to wait. Chu Li was secretly amazed by the prosperity here.
Sun Yucheng sat on the horse calmly and walked forward slowly like an ordinary person. He did not use his status to drive the crowd away, which impressed Chu Li.
They galloped out of the east gate. The sky had already turned dark, and the lanterns had just been lit. The official road was bustling with vehicles and pedestrians. Everyone wanted to rush back to the city before the sky turned completely dark.
Elder Ren turned to look at Chu Li and said, "Young Zhao, we're going to spend the night in the wild."
Chu Li nodded.
Elder Su smiled. "Young Zhao, what's your position in the Holy Church of Light?"
Chu Li replied, "I'm ashamed. I've just been dismissed as a Branch Leader, so I don't have any responsibilities now."
He did not have the hobby of being humiliated, and he did not want to pretend to be weak. He still had to put on airs and did not want others to look down on him, so he decided to shock them.
"Oh, Branch Leader?" The three of them were stunned.
Sun Yucheng asked, "You used to be a Branch Leader?"
Chu Li nodded. "Gale Branch in Gale City, but I've been in Isolated Cultivation for too long and didn't care about the secular affairs, so I was dismissed by the Saint. Now, I'm redeeming myself by performing meritorious deeds."
Elder Su and Elder Ren were shocked.
Most of the disciples in the Holy Church of Light were ordinary disciples. A Branch Leader might not be the best, but one's age was also important. Chu Li should be at the bottom of the Holy Church of Light's disciples at his age, but he managed to surpass many senior disciples to become a Branch Leader. He was definitely not an ordinary person.
Sun Yucheng said, "Ninth Elder Sister didn't say anything in her letter."
Chu Li said, "Maybe the Saint saved me some face and didn't expose my shortcomings."
"Haha, it's not a shortcoming to be a Branch Leader." Elder Su laughed. "Young Zhao, how did you become a Branch Leader?"
"It's nothing." Chu Li said, "I killed an Altar Leader and was crippled of my martial arts. After I was punished, I was sent to the Sharp Vigor Battalion of Soaring Eagle Cavalry. Then, I led the Sharp Vigor Battalion to kill a general of the Qiu Dynasty and left the Sharp Vigor Battalion to become a Branch Leader."
Elder Su and Elder Ren were amazed.
Every word that Zhao Dahe said was shocking. He killed an Altar Leader and a general, so he was indeed a powerful person. It was no wonder that the Saint sent him here.
On the other hand, Sun Yucheng looked at him dubiously.
He knew that Ninth Elder Sister would not randomly send an ordinary martial arts master from the Holy Church of Light, but he did not expect this guy to have such rich experience.
Chu Li smiled. "Unfortunately, I'm not cut out to be a Branch Leader. I didn't want to pay much attention to secular affairs and only wanted to cultivate, but I ended up like this."
"Martial arts is the foundation," Elder Ren said.
