"Oh, a powerful person?" Chu Li stood up and walked to the pagoda with his hands behind his back. He took the jade cup from Xue and asked, "Do you know his identity?"
Xue shook her head, "It's because we can't find out that he's powerful."
Chu Li took a sip of the tea and smiled, "That's true."
Xue now had a lot of intelligence. Her eyes and ears were very sharp. As the Yi Public House became stronger, her eyes and ears kept expanding and becoming more powerful.
She already had many eyes and ears in Green Mountain Town. In addition to Chu Li's eyes and ears in the Secret Guardians Hall, there were few things that could be hidden from her.
Xue said, "I guess Miss Lu wanted to meet him because of this person."
"What does he look like?" Chu Li asked.
Xue went into the house and took out a scroll. She unfolded it and presented it in front of him.
The scroll showed a strong young man. Although he was not handsome, he had a masculine aura. His eyes were bright like an eagle or tiger and his smile was unruly. He was like a prodigal son who roamed the world and no one could tame his wild nature.
Chu Li frowned and shook his head. He did not recognize this person but he felt a sense of familiarity. It came from between this person's eyebrows. He felt like he had seen this person somewhere before but he knew that he had never seen him before or he would have recognized him.
Many figures flashed in his mind and finally stopped at Tang Zhao.
This person looked similar to Tang Zhao as if they were brothers. Even if they were not brothers, they must be related by blood.
In that case, this person should be from the Fu Dynasty. No wonder he could not find out where he came from. He could also be a disciple of the Fu Dynasty's royal family.
"Do you know this person, Master?" Xue asked.
Chu Li shook his head, "Is Lu Yurong still in the Ren Public House?"
"Yes," Xue nodded.
"I'll go take a look," Chu Li said.
The next moment, he appeared in the backyard of the Ren Public House.
As soon as he appeared, Lu Yurong's nine maids tensed up. They took up their positions and surrounded Chu Li.
Lu Yurong sat in the pagoda and waved her hand.
The dusk was hazy and tired birds returned to the forest.
Lu Yurong looked up at Chu Li. Her eyes sparkled, "You're finally here."
Chu Li smiled, "I've been cultivating in isolation. Your cultivation level has also increased. Congratulations."
"What's the use!" Lu Yurong shook her head and sighed.
What she cultivated was the Empyrean Fairy Power. It was powerful and difficult to cultivate.
Ever since King Jing became the Crown Prince, the secret vault of the royal family was opened to him. He was able to find some mystical martial arts and some ancient secrets. Lu Yurong also benefited a lot from it. She knew the origin of the Empyrean Fairy Power and the cultivation method. After obtaining a piece of Stone from Outer Sky from the secret vault, her cultivation level doubled.
But for her troubles, doubling her cultivation level was of no use.
Chu Li sat in front of her and smiled. "It's rare to see you so weak, Miss Lu."
She had always been cold and domineering. Even when she was with Chu Li and was obviously weaker than him, she could still use her wits to deal with him, barely managing to not be at a disadvantage. It was very difficult for her to show weakness.
"I'm here to ask for your help," Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li laughed. "This is a honey trap."
No wonder she behaved like this. She did it to arouse his protective instincts and manliness. Lu Yurong always had a purpose in everything she did. It was difficult for her to act on her emotions, and it was even more difficult for her to show her true feelings.
Lu Yurong rolled her eyes at him. "Are you going to help me or not?"
Chu Li said, "Do you know how an Enlightened Master can be killed?"
He knew that Lu Yurong was knowledgeable and had read many secrets. There were some things that he could not come into contact with.
Lu Yurong frowned. "Kill an Enlightened Master?"
Chu Li said slowly, "From what I know, it seems that no Enlightened Master has fallen in the past thousand years. But a thousand years ago, Enlightened Masters were not immortal, right?"
Lu Yurong said, "The Enlightened Masters back then were not so precious. There were no less than a hundred of them. If they were immortal, the world would be in chaos!"
"What about the Enlightened Masters today?" Chu Li asked.
Lu Yurong pondered for a moment and shook her head. "Indeed, I don't think I've heard of any Enlightened Masters being killed. They all ascended to the Outland when the time came."
"Then they really don't die?" Chu Li frowned.
Lu Yurong said, "There seems to be a heavenly rule. Enlightened Masters can only fight and not kill each other. They will not kill each other."
"There's such a rule?" Chu Li's frown deepened.
Lu Yurong nodded.
"If that's the case, then the Outland is the strongest." Chu Li said.
Lu Yurong looked up at the gloomy sky and nodded slowly. "Heaven's will cannot be disobeyed!"
Chu Li smiled nonchalantly. "Alright then, let's talk about your troubles."
"A while ago, a Prince of the Fu Dynasty came to Green Mountain Town." Lu Yurong said, "I met him at the Flying Cloud Brothel."
Chu Li said, "Love at first sight? Then I'll have to congratulate Miss Lu. "
Lu Yurong glared at him.
Chu Li smiled. "Alright, tell me about it."
Lu Yurong scoffed. "His name is Tang Ye. I think he likes me."
Chu Li said, "Miss Lu is such a beauty. Which man wouldn't like you? There's no need to make a fuss."
"If it was anyone else, I wouldn't care." Lu Yurong frowned and sighed. "But this Tang Ye, I have a bad feeling."
"He hasn't mentioned anything to you, right?" Chu Li asked.
He could tell from Lu Yurong's vague tone that nothing had happened. She was just preparing for a rainy day.
Lu Yurong shook her head. "He hasn't done anything yet."
Chu Li smiled and said nothing.
Lu Yurong said impatiently, "Do you think I'm overthinking?"
"What do you think he'll do?" Chu Li asked.
Although Lu Yurong could not see through people's minds like him, she could read people's minds through subtle expressions. She would never make a mistake. She must have noticed something wrong with this Tang Ye.
"He might come knocking on my door." Lu Yurong frowned.
Chu Li said, "Who is this Tang Ye?"
"The Fu Dynasty's Third Prince." Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li pondered for a moment. "The Fu Dynasty's Eldest Prince died young. The Second Prince will become the Crown Prince. As for the Third Prince, it's possible. But … he won't be satisfied, right?"
"On the contrary, he has no ambition for the throne." Lu Yurong shook her head.
Chu Li said, "Then it's troublesome. If he wants to be a free king, he will be unscrupulous. The Fu Dynasty's Emperor and the Second Prince will condone him. Looks like you can't escape from him."
Lu Yurong said impatiently, "I'm just asking for your help!"
Chu Li said, "Me as a shield?"
Lu Yurong pursed her lips and smiled. She nodded slowly.
Chu Li took the teacup from the maid and shook his head.
Lu Yurong said, "I heard that you're a disciple of Goddess Attraction Mountain. With your ability, you can definitely become an inner mountain disciple."
Chu Li shook his head. "It'll be very difficult."
"You don't want to help, right?" Lu Yurong scoffed.
Chu Li sighed and shook his head.
If he did not have Xiao Qi, there was nothing wrong with helping her. But now that he had Xiao Qi, if he were to be a shield, he would be hurting Xiao Qi. How could he do such a thing? Moreover, the Fu Dynasty's Third Prince was not someone to be trifled with. He had the Fu Dynasty behind him. If he offended him, there would be endless trouble.
"Sigh …" Lu Yurong sighed and shook her head. "I'm just a weak woman …"
