Lu Yurong smiled. "Uncle-in-law, what do you think of me?"
"You want to be the commander of the Secret Guardians Hall?" Leng Jinghua was surprised.
Lu Yurong nodded and said, "Uncle-in-law, I really don't trust others. This position is too important. If they have the slightest bit of disloyalty, or have other thoughts, they might ruin your plans … and I'm the best at this."
"That's true." Leng Jinghua nodded.
Lu Yurong's talent in using spies was amazing. It was said that Chu Li was also an excellent spy but he had never seen it for himself. To him, no one was better than her.
Lu Yurong said, "Gu Yu is muddle-headed and incompetent. He's narrow-minded and can't tolerate others. Look at how long he's been the commander and he's already messed up the Secret Guardians Hall!"
Leng Jinghua scoffed.
He was also very dissatisfied with the current state of the Secret Guardians Hall. It was far from what it used to be. It was as if they were two different groups of people.
The current Secret Guardians Hall could not be expected to take on big responsibilities. If there was a big case, they might have to look for Chu Li. With their abilities and mutual restraints, it was impossible to solve a case.
Lu Yurong said, "Even if you don't let me come, it's best to take down Gu Yu and replace him with a more suitable person. The Emperor is meticulous and he must have seen through Gu Yu's capabilities. He won't be too insistent. Uncle-in-law, you might be able to replace him."
"… Alright, I'll talk to my father." Leng Jinghua said, "Try to get you to be the commander."
Lu Yurong said, "As far as I know, the Mei Er Courtyard that Chu Li originally belonged to was only outwardly obedient to Gu Yu. They didn't listen to him at all. On the other hand, the people in the Mei Er Courtyard are all elites. Without the Mei Er Courtyard, the Secret Guardians Hall's strength has dropped significantly."
"Yes, I heard about it too." Leng Jinghua nodded.
Lu Yurong smiled. "If I become the commander, Mei Er Courtyard will be pulled over."
"That's great," Leng Jinghua said.
Lu Yurong said, "There's also Chu Li. Gu Yu can't defeat him. It's useless to give him more people."
"Sigh … This Chu Li!" Leng Jinghua shook his head.
He was now very disgusted with Chu Li. Chu Li was arrogant and domineering, but there was nothing he could do and he could not control him. After he hid in the Public House, he was like a tortoise in its shell, there was nothing he could do. It was not easy to lure him out of his shell.
Lu Yurong smiled and said, "Uncle-in-law, you don't have to worry. I will think of a way to deal with Chu Li and make him suffer."
"Yes, you're the only one who can deal with him," Leng Jinghua said.

Gu Yu sat in the main hall of the Secret Guardians Hall with a gloomy expression.
The green-robed youth stood in front of him with his head lowered, not saying a word.
Gu Yu sneered. "What a great Crown Prince. He's really awe-inspiring. He's not even the Emperor yet!"
"Commander, be careful with your words. He is the future emperor!" The green-robed youth hurriedly said.
"Humph." Gu Yu said disdainfully, "He's not even the Emperor yet, but he already has the airs of an Emperor. How can he order around the Secret Guardians Hall? It's already unprecedented for me to show him some respect, but he's still not satisfied and even dares to blame me!"
"Commander, we should think about how to deal with Chu Li." The green-robed youth said, "If we don't take him down, the Secret Guardians Hall will lose face. Will he stay in the High Duke's Public House for the rest of his life?"
"I'm not afraid of staying in the High Duke's Public House." Gu Yu sneered and scoffed. "Go to Mei Er Courtyard and get Yang Zongwen here!"
The green-robed youth quickly responded and hurried out.
Yang Zongwen quickly returned and gave a fist salute with a calm expression. "Commander."
"I order everyone in Mei Er Courtyard to go to Chong Ming Town's Yi Public House and invite Chu Li back!" Gu Yu said coldly.
Yang Zongwen was stunned. "Invite Head Chief Chu?"
"That's right!" Gu Yu scoffed. "This shouldn't be difficult, right? I'm not making things difficult for you, right? Based on your relationship with Chu Li, it should be easy. If you can't do it, don't blame me for being rude! "
Yang Zongwen nodded. "Yes, we'll accept the order."
"Very well." Gu Yu's expression softened. "I'll only give you a month. Is that lenient enough?"
Yang Zongwen gave a fist salute. "We'll depart immediately."
"Very well!" Gu Yu waved his hand. "The sooner you return, the better my reward will be!"
Yang Zongwen gave a fist salute and strode away.
The green-robed youth watched him leave and asked hesitantly, "Commander, how can they capture Chu Li?"
"Hmph, no matter how they do it, it's fine as long as Chu Li is back." Gu Yu sneered. "As long as he's back, he'll have a taste of his own medicine, heh!"
The green-robed youth laughed. "Yes, we have conclusive evidence. He can't deny it!"
When Yang Zongwen returned to Mei Er Courtyard, Dong Qifei, Qin Jin, and the others were there.
After listening to Yang Zongwen, Dong Qifei scolded Gu Yu for being sinister and despicable.
Qin Jin smiled. "This is a good opportunity. Let's go to Chong Ming Town. I've heard a lot about the Yi Public House but never had the chance to meet them."
"If we go, will the Centurion come back or not?" Dong Qifei scoffed. "We'll make things difficult for the Centurion!"
"There's no need to make things difficult for the Centurion." Qin Jin shook his head. "We can go there as guests. If we go, the rest of the Secret Guardians Hall won't have to go and cause trouble for the Centurion."
"It'll be interesting to be a guest at the Yi Public House." Yang Zongwen smiled.
They quickly left Fairy's Capital together. They used their Light-body Technique to travel faster than a galloping horse. They arrived at Chong Ming Town on the evening of the second day.
Chu Li personally went out of town to welcome them and brought them to his island in the Public House.
"Centurion, I heard that he has solid evidence of you colluding with the Holy Church of Light," Yang Zongwen said.
As the sun set in the west, they sat in Chu Li's courtyard. The air was exceptionally fresh and the sunset glow illuminated the courtyard with a hint of red.
Chu Li laughed. "I colluded with a disciple of the Holy Church of Light?"
"Yes." Yang Zongwen nodded. "Judging from Gu Yu's expression, it's not fake."
Chu Li frowned and pondered.
Qin Jin said, "Centurion, tell us the truth. Is there such a thing?"
Chu Li glared at him impatiently.
Qin Jin chuckled. "Even if Centurion colluded with the Holy Church of Light, we won't say anything."
Chu Li said, "Don't you know how deep my hatred for the Holy Church of Light is? Even if I wanted to collude, the Holy Church of Light would have to agree to it! "
"Then why does he have evidence?" Qin Jin said, "Gu Yu isn't shrewd enough. One look and you can tell that the evidence is real."
Chu Li waved his hand. "I'd like to see what evidence he has."
Chu Li frowned worriedly.
Gu Yu seemed to be fooled by him as if he was an idiot. In fact, he was not stupid at all. In fact, he was very clever. The evidence was definitely not fake. However, what evidence did Chu Li and the Holy Church of Light have that made him so sure?
After thinking about it, he thought of Fu Mengshan.
Only three people knew that he went undercover in the Holy Church of Light. He trusted Xu Huande but not Fu Mengshan. If someone leaked the secret, it could only be Fu Mengshan!
He could not sit still when he thought about it.
If his identity was exposed, all his previous efforts would go to waste. Moreover, it would be a huge problem!
"Centurion, if you have something to do, you should go ahead and do it. Let's take a break and go to the town tomorrow," Qin Jin said.
Chu Li nodded. "Alright, you don't have to be so polite since you're here. I have something to take a look at first."
"Yes." Everyone fist saluted.
