Sun Mingyue went to the place where Chu Li disappeared and remained silent.
Her beautiful face showed a complicated expression. Her eyes flickered, sometimes bright, sometimes dark. At this moment, all kinds of emotions were entangled and could not be sorted out.
Two thoughts were fighting in her mind. One side decided to help and the other side decided not to. The one who helped was desperately looking for excuses while the one who did not help had only one reason.
The two thoughts were fighting like an army. It was hard to tell which was better.
She suddenly raised her head and looked behind her.
Chu Li stood silently behind her and smiled. "Are you willing to do this?"
"What do you mean?" Sun Mingyue scoffed.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "I know you're not satisfied. This is your best chance!"
Sun Mingyue frowned and stared at him.
She was tempted. Once she became an Enlightened Master, she could not do as she pleased. She was bound by the Heavenly Rules and could not do anything to the Fu Dynasty. She could only pin her hopes on the next generation, her own successor.
Just like his Master in the past, his Master might have gone through the same mental journey as him. His own efforts were in vain, and in the end, he could only place his hopes on him. That was why he was so strict with himself and made him work hard. He spent a huge amount of effort to make himself the number one person below the Grandmasters in preparation to become a stronger Enlightened Master in the future.
Unfortunately, she had failed to live up to her master's high expectations and was still unable to achieve anything. Now that she was only a year away from becoming an Enlightened Master, if she could not defeat the Fu Dynasty, she would lose her chance and end up like her master.
This time, she had a great chance. Although it was risky, there were always advantages and disadvantages in this world.
Chu Li smiled. "How about it? Do you want to take the risk?"
"What are you going to do?" Sun Mingyue scoffed.
Chu Li said, "You know."
"… Alright." Sun Mingyue nodded slowly.
Chu Li smiled. "If that's the case, let's go."
"If I regret this, we'll never meet again!" Sun Mingyue scoffed.
Chu Li said, "Of course."
Sun Mingyue said, "Also, you owe me a big favor. If I need your help in the future, you must do it without hesitation like I do now."
Chu Li shook his head. "You've been hesitating for a long time."
Sun Mingyue sneered and said, "If I really want to hesitate, it won't just be a short while. I might need to think about it for a few days."
"Alright." Chu Li nodded. "I'll owe you a favor then."
The two of them quickly reached a tacit understanding. He grabbed Sun Mingyue's sleeve, and the two of them suddenly disappeared.

Great Fu Zhilan City
The largest restaurant in Zhi Lan City was completely empty, with only twenty or so people dining on the third floor.
At the center of the table was Tang Ye. He was lazily picking up his silver chopsticks and picking at the food. He did not eat for a long time and looked at the table full of delicacies with disgust. Finally, he put down his silver chopsticks and did not eat anything. He picked up a silver cup and drank it in one gulp. He snorted and said, "I don't have an appetite. You guys are guarding at the side. How can I have an appetite? Find some beauties and bring them over!"
"Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered that there cannot be any strangers." The middle-aged guard, Xu Shixing, shook his head and sighed, "We have to be careful of that Chu fellow. I'm afraid he won't give up now that he's cornered."
"Where did all of your courage go?" Tang Ye said in disdain, "Does he have the guts to kill me?"
Xu Shixing said, "Even a dog will jump over a wall when it's cornered. He's a master, he won't tolerate this silently."
"Isn't he afraid of death?" Tang Ye sneered. "If he really isn't afraid of death, he would've killed me long ago. But I'm standing right in front of him, and he only dares to slap me twice. Don't worry!"
When he thought of those two slaps, he felt a faint pain in his cheeks. It was as if Chu Li was still standing right in front of him. His lips curled into a cruel smile. He must kill him!
"Sigh …" Xu Shixing shook his head and sighed. He knew that he could not persuade him.
He could vaguely guess what Tang Ye was thinking. He wanted to infuriate Chu Li and provoke him into killing him. Then, he could borrow the Emperor's hand to kill Chu Li.
It was not as if the Emperor did not have such intentions. Otherwise, he would not have sent troops to the Ji Dynasty's border and started a war.
All of this was forcing Chu Li to assassinate Tang Ye. Once that happened, the Emperor would have an excuse to kill him. Chu Li was too dangerous to the Fu Dynasty now. He had to be eliminated, or else there would be endless trouble in the future.
He looked around and finally shook his head. He did not know if Chu Li would dare to come. He sighed. "I'm just afraid that the one coming to assassinate Your Royal Highness is not Chu Li, but Lu Yurong."
"That's great." Tang Ye's eyes lit up. He laughed. "If she's coming, then don't go back. We can't deal with Chu Li, but can't we deal with Lu Yurong? Then why don't you all go home and stay! "
"Don't worry, Your Royal Highness. If Lu Yurong really dares to come, we'll capture her alive and present her to Your Royal Highness!" Everyone responded.
Tang Ye sat at the table in the middle, while the others occupied the other four tables, guarding the four corners of the table. They surrounded him tightly, making it difficult for birds to pass through and water to get in.
Tang Ye did not have an appetite, but they did. They ate happily. Only when they were full would they have the strength to fight. They had been preparing, tensed up, and turned the pressure into appetite.
Chu Li's reputation was growing, giving them a lot of pressure. If he appeared, they would not be able to block a single move. They might even die in one move. This time was different from the last time. Last time, they still had reservations, so they only crippled their martial arts and did not kill them.
However, at this point, Chu Li should have no more reservations. If he made a move, he might just kill them.
"Your Royal Highness, is that Lu Yurong really that beautiful?" Someone laughed. "You can't forget her!"
"She's unparalleled." Tang Ye glanced at the crowd and scoffed. "You mortals can't see her beauty!"
Everyone chuckled.
Although Tang Ye was arrogant, he treated the Protectors around him very well. He did not seem to put on airs and spoke rudely and directly, which made the Protectors feel close to him. They did not have to guess his thoughts all day long.
"Unfortunately, she's already married." A Protector sighed. "Your Royal Highness, do you still like her?"
Tang Ye said coldly. "There's no woman in this world that I can't have. She will definitely become my woman."
"Or Concubine Ping?" Xu Shixing asked curiously.
Tang Ye laughed coldly. "What do you think? Is she worthy of being Concubine Ping? I'll let that bastard Chu Li take advantage of her. I'll make her regret it! "
Xu Shixing saw the cold glint in Tang Ye's eyes and knew that it had triggered his tyranny. If Lu Yurong really married him, she would not have a good life. She might not have long to live. It was such a waste!
He could only think about it, but he did not dare to say it out loud.
Tang Ye gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He laughed coldly. "Lu Yurong, Chu Li, I'll make you regret being born!"
"Is that so?" Suddenly, there was a clear laughter.
Chu Li appeared in front of everyone, standing beside Tang Ye.
Everyone was shocked. They immediately froze and did not dare to move.
