In the evening, three middle-aged cavalrymen arrived at the Ren Public House. They wore yellow shirts and rode straight to the front of the Public House.
Four Public House Protectors stood in front of the horses with their hands on their swords and stared at the three of them sternly.
These three knights were all in the Grandmaster's Boundary. Their cultivation levels were high, and the horses they rode were all shining brightly. They were tall and strong, and their muscles were strong. It was hard to find such horses in the Public House.
The four Public House Protectors said, "Who are you, please dismount!"
The three cavalrymen glided down from their horses. The leader of the cavalrymen had a steely expression on his face. He was burly and well-built, and his hands were exceptionally large. His eyes gleamed like cold lightning as he said in a deep voice, "I'm a protector of the Fu Dynasty's Third Prince's Residence. I've been ordered to present Miss Lu Yurong with an invitation, and hand it over to you in person!"
"Eldest Lady?" The four Public House Protectors frowned, "Eldest Lady is not here!"
"Not here? Where did she go? "
"Eldest Lady's whereabouts are confidential. How can we know?"
"Then please meet with the person in charge."
"Please wait for a moment."
A Public House Protector entered the Public House to report. Then, a steward came out and invited the three of them to the main hall.
After a while, the handsome Lu Yu Shu walked in. He closed fist saluted and smiled, "I am Lu Yu Shu. The three of you want to give Little Sister an invitation. May I know where it is?"
"We will personally hand it to Miss Lu." The middle-aged cavalryman shook his head, "Please show yourself."
"What a coincidence." Lu Yu Shu shook his head and sighed, "Little Sister is about to be engaged to Chu Li from the Yi Public House. She is at the Yi Public House. It will take some time for her to come over. Even if she got the invitation, she will not be able to attend the appointment. She is too busy."
"Engaged?" The three cavalrymen looked at each other.
Lu Yu Shu nodded, "Yes. They have known each other for many years and they have finally reached this step."
He said this with a complicated expression.
His heart was inexplicably complicated. His feelings towards Chu Li were too complicated. Logically, they were enemies but he was afraid of Chu Li. He was ruthless and merciless. Every time he saw him, he felt inferior and did not dare to act recklessly.
However, the only one who was worthy of her was Chu Li, out of all the heroes in the world.
He would never object to his younger sister marrying Chu Li, even if Chu Li already had Xiao Qi.
The faces of the three knights darkened.
They all knew what the Prince was thinking. He wanted Lu Yurong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come all the way here to send an invitation. They never thought that Lu Yurong would be engaged to someone else's wife.
They immediately shook their heads. If the prince wanted a woman, even if it was someone else's woman, it didn't matter. He had to get her. At most, he would get rid of that man.
"Who is Miss Lu betrothed to?"
"Chu Li of the Yi Public House." Lu Yu Shu shook his head and sighed. "You should have heard of Chu Li's name in the Fu Dynasty, right?"
"Chu Li?!" The three of them exclaimed.
Lu Yu Shu said, "It's the Chu Li who killed Wei Wu Wei from the Church of the Divine Blood."
"It's actually him!" The trio's expressions became increasingly gloomy.
If it was someone else, they could act on their own. They could just kill the person and prevent the betrothal. Then, they could slowly turn Lu Yurong into the Prince's woman. But now, they could not do it.
They knew how powerful Chu Li was. They knew how powerful Wei Wu Wei was. He was unparalleled and unrivaled. But he was killed by Chu Li. Chu Li did not get lucky. Later on, he heavily injured the Church of the Divine Blood and forced them to seal their mountain.
If they attacked such a person, they would definitely die. Even the Prince would not dare to act recklessly. This time, the Prince would probably retreat. The three of them really could not act on their own. They should go back and report first.
"If that's the case, we'll leave first. We'll wait for Miss Lu to come back." The three of them stood up and left without hesitation.
Lu Yu Shu stared at them hatefully. He was angry at their unreasonable and arrogant behavior, but there was nothing he could do. The Ren Public House was now the most powerful in the Public House because of the Crown Prince. But in front of the Fu Dynasty's Prince, they were not powerful enough.

"What?!" In one of the study rooms of a luxurious prince's mansion, a robust young man fiercely smashed the jade, turning it into powder, and said hatefully, "Betrothal?"
A middle-aged knight closed fist saluted and bowed. He did not even dare to raise his head. He said in a low voice, "Yes, Miss Lu is about to be betrothed to Chu Li!"
Tang Ye said coldly, "Elder Xu, don't you know my temper? Why did you come back to talk nonsense? Just kill him! "
"Your Royal Highness," the middle-aged knight Xu Shixing said helplessly, "Miss Lu's betrothal husband is Chu Li."
"Which Chu Li?"
"Your Royal Highness, there is only one Chu Li in the world."
"Chu Li!?" Tang Ye remembered and sneered, "The Chu Li who killed Wei Wu Wei?"
"That's him!" Xu Shixing nodded. "If it was someone else, we would've killed him without your command. But this Chu Li, we really can't kill him. We can only report to Your Royal Highness."
"Hmph, Chu Li!" Tang Ye slammed the table and sat down.
Xu Shixing said, "Also, we need to think about whether or not to fall out with Chu Li."
"Can't we kill a mere Chu Li?" Tang Ye scoffed. "No matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than an Enlightened Master?"
Xu Shixing knew that this was said out of anger. Chu Li was not someone who could be killed by a group of masters. Otherwise, the Church of the Divine Blood would've killed him a long time ago. Everyone in the Church of the Divine Blood was difficult to deal with. Even the Royal Highness did not dare to provoke them, let alone Chu Li.
Tang Ye gritted his teeth and stared coldly outside.
Xu Shixing said in a low voice, "Your Royal Highness, we need to think about this further."
"I must have Lu Yurong!" Tang Ye said slowly, "Even if I have to offend Chu Li!"
Lu Yurong's beautiful face flashed in front of his eyes. His heart was filled with melancholy. He wished that they could never be apart. He could not tolerate such a beauty lying in another man's arms!
"Your Royal Highness, please think twice!" Xu Shixing said hurriedly. "Chu Li is not an ordinary person. Once we fall out, I'm afraid …"
The hatred of stealing one's wife was absolutely irreconcilable. If he really stole Lu Yurong, Chu Li would definitely assassinate him. The Royal Highness would not be able to avoid it. Even if the Emperor made a move, it would be after the Royal Highness was killed.
"I've thought it through. If I can't have such a beauty, I'd rather not live!" Tang Ye said slowly, "Although Chu Li's martial arts is strong, it doesn't mean that he has no weaknesses. I will personally persuade him to give up on Lu Yurong!"
"Your Royal Highness, please think twice!" Xu Shixing said hurriedly. "It's best not to meet him. If he makes a move, none of us will be able to stop him."
"He dares to make a move?" Tang Ye laughed coldly. "Find out if he has any weaknesses or family members. I don't believe that he will drag his family down for a woman and become a sinner of the family!"
"… Yes." Xu Shixing nodded helplessly.
Tang Ye said, "Don't worry. No matter what, I'm still the Prince of the Fu Dynasty. He won't dare to do anything!"
Xu Shixing nodded and was slightly relieved.
The Fu Dynasty was the ruler of the world. The Ji Dynasty would not dare to say no in front of the Fu Dynasty. If push came to shove, he would start with the Ji Dynasty and force Chu Li to give up. He might even force Lu Yurong to give up on the engagement and abandon Chu Li.
When he thought of this, he gained some confidence. Although martial arts were the most respected in the world, sometimes wisdom was more terrifying than martial arts.
