It was obvious that Lu Yurong wanted him to provoke a dispute with the Secret Guardians Hall and fight to the death. Then, she would take the opportunity to pry open Gu Yu's position and force him to leave.
However, it was inevitable that Chu Li would be hurt in the process. If he made a fool of himself, she would be able to watch him make a fool of himself.
Previously, he did not want to take a step back. He wanted to take Gu Yu down a notch. Gu Yu was getting more and more outrageous. Ever since the last time, he had become even more rampant.
Now that the situation was different, he had more important things to do, so he changed his mind and took the opportunity to leave King An's Imperial Residence. It seemed like he was showing weakness to the Secret Guardians Hall.
Both he and Lu Yurong were people who kept their promises. Lu Yurong would never go back on her word and would definitely bring down Gu Yu. However, without him fighting Gu Yu, it would be much more difficult for Lu Yurong to bring down Gu Yu. He could also watch the show.
The two of them schemed against each other all day long, fighting in secret.
Xiao Qi asked, "Why do you value Lu Guangdi so much?"
"Guess." Chu Li tightened his arms around her flexible and firm waist.
"I don't think he's worried about Lu Zhengjun." Xiao Qi furrowed her brows and muttered, "Others might be afraid of him, but you might not necessarily be afraid of him … Then, you must have some ulterior motive. What is there to gain from Lu Guangdi? … Lu Zhengjun? "
She looked up at Chu Li.
The two of them were so close that their breaths could reach each other's faces.
Chu Li laughed. "Madam knows me best."
"You'd better think it through." Xiao Qi frowned. "Green Deer Cliff isn't an ordinary faction. Once you offend them, you'll be in endless trouble."
"Of course, the four major sects." Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Xiao Qi stared at Chu Li worriedly.
Every time he had this expression, it was when he was about to do something extraordinary. She could not guess what he was about to do.
Chu Li smiled. "Don't worry."
Xiao Qi gently shook her head. She could not stop him from doing things anyway.
Chu Li asked, "Madam, are you going to the Spirit Cranes Peak or the Public House?"
"Let's go back," Xiao Qi said. "I heard that Big Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law are fighting again. Eldest Sister-in-law ran back to her maiden home."
Chu Li smiled. "These two are really …"
Siao Tie Ying's character was calm and steady. He was usually generous and straightforward, and rarely quarreled with others. His wife was also dignified and generous, gentle and virtuous. However, whenever the two of them were together, they would always quarrel. A small quarrel every few days, and a big quarrel every ten days.
After the quarrel, she wanted to go back to her parents' home. Siao Tieying quickly went to fetch her back. They had been married for less than a year, but they had gone back and forth more than ten times.
At first, everyone was very nervous, but later on, they got used to it. If they wanted to quarrel, let them. Anyway, they would make up soon.
Xiao Qi said, "I heard that it was a big deal this time. Big Brother was so angry that he refused to accept it."
"Master Xiao Tieying is just being stubborn. Let's see how long he can last." Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "I guess by the time you return, Master Xiao Tieying will have already left."
Xiao Qi frowned at him.
Chu Li smiled. "Then let's go back and take a look."
"Let's go," Siao Qi said.
The two of them disappeared in a flash and appeared in the Yi Public House, directly arriving at Iron Eagle Island.
In the end, he did not see Siao Tieying. He asked around, and sure enough, Siao Tieying had already left.
Xiao Qi frowned and shook her head. She sighed. "Big Brother has changed."
Chu Li smiled. "Master Xiao Tieying is still deeply in love. He'll be fine after a while."
"Sigh …" Xiao Qi sighed. "What nonsense."
"It's fun to make a scene." Chu Li smiled. "Big Brother needs to relax like this. He was too tense before. Now, their days are very interesting."
"That's true." Xiao Qi nodded.
Chu Li asked, "Madam, are you really going to stay here?"
"Yes, the Public House can't be empty." Xiao Qi nodded. "If something really happens, I can help."
Chu Li left the High Duke's Public House and returned to Lu Guangdi's side to guard him.
He was ten miles away, but no one noticed his presence. Under the escort of eight people, Lu Guangdi had a smooth journey and soon, he returned to Tide-listening Pavilion.
Chu Li finally found out where Tide-listening Pavilion was.
It turned out to be on a peninsula near the sea, and there was a chain of palaces on the island.
This palace was called the Dragon King Palace, and it was where the fishermen worshipped the Dragon King. There were more than ten palaces in total, and they formed a chain of buildings that stretched for about five miles by the sea.
After Elder Xu, Elder Hu, and the six protectors left, Chu Li rented a house not far from Tide-listening Pavilion and cultivated his energy to regulate his breath every day.
The Omniscient Mirror observed Lu Guangdi from inside to outside, from the Raging Billow Technique and other martial arts that he cultivated to the depths of his heart, from his actions to his words, everything was observed and remembered.
The disciples of Tide-listening Pavilion were the servants of the Dragon King Palace. They usually hid their martial arts, and outsiders did not know about it.
There were a total of twelve palaces, and four of them were open for people to burn incense and pray. The remaining eight were not open to the public, and they were where Tide-listening Pavilion was located.
They cultivated martial arts in the palaces, read, and wrote. They lived a peaceful and peaceful life, aloof from worldly affairs.
In the evening, the setting sun dyed all the palaces red, and the lights in the palaces were dim. Everyone ran out of the palaces to cultivate outside.
A handsome middle-aged man in a green robe slowly walked into one of the palaces and spoke to an elder with white eyebrows for a while. Then, the elder personally brought the middle-aged man to the third floor of the palaces.
This was a library with a total of three floors. It was the tallest building in the Dragon King Palace.
They came to a quiet room on the third floor, and the elder knocked on the door. "Guangdi."
Lu Guangdi got off the bed and opened the door. When he saw the elder, he smiled. "Master."
He then saw the handsome middle-aged man in a green robe, and the smile on his face instantly froze. Then, he turned around and walked away. He sat on the bed, closed his eyes, and did not move an inch.
"Guangdi, you two talk. There is no overnight grudge between father and son." The elder with white eyebrows sighed and said gently, "If there's anything, just talk it out. After all, you're father and son. Don't be too distant."
"Master!" Lu Guangdi opened his eyes and said in a deep voice.
The elder with white eyebrows waved his hand, smiled at the handsome middle-aged man, and then turned to leave.
Lu Guangdi closed his eyes again and did not move an inch.
Lu Zhengjun took a chair and placed it in front of the bed. Then, he sat on it and faced Lu Guangdi, staring at him without moving an inch.
Lu Guangdi closed his eyes for a while before opening them again. When he saw the gentle gaze, he was stunned and quickly closed his eyes again.
The handsome middle-aged man was Lu Zhengjun. He said calmly, "Don't you have anything to say?"
"I have nothing to say!" Lu Guangdi said coldly.
Lu Zhengjun said, "I originally thought that you were strong enough and practiced a good martial art. I didn't expect you to be crippled as soon as you went out. You're covered in dirt, and you've embarrassed me!"
Lu Guangdi suddenly opened his eyes and glared at him fiercely.
Lu Zhengjun's voice was gentle, but his words were sharp. "Do you think that just because you have a high cultivation level, you'll be invincible in the world? Do you think that you'll be famous enough to surpass my previous reputation?"
"Hmph." Lu Guangdi did not deny it.
He did not want to show weakness in front of Lu Zhengjun. That was why he ended up in this state.
Lu Zhengjun shook his head. "You're a disciple of Tide-listening Pavilion, and I'm a disciple of Green Deer Cliff. How can that be the same? Tide-listening Pavilion's martial arts and Green Deer Cliff's are worlds apart. It's like the difference between a mouse and a cat. No matter how strong the mouse is, it can never defeat the cat. "
"Are you here to humiliate me?" Lu Guangdi scoffed.
