Chu Li nodded thoughtfully. "To be so mysterious, it's obvious that he has a great background. He shouldn't be someone newly recruited by the Crown Prince …"
"In my opinion, we should ask Lady Lu." Xiao Qi smiled faintly.
Chu Li smiled and pulled her into his arms. Then, they lay down on the bed and sighed. "This Commander Meng is a new official. Is he trying to burn our heads?"
"Yes." Siao Qi nodded. "Two days ago, he brought the Secret Guardians to search King An's Imperial Residence. They said that they were trying to eliminate the disciples of the Holy Church of Light."
Chu Li's expression changed slightly.
Xiao Qi glanced at him and said faintly, "I heard that you're friends with the Saint of the Holy Church of Light, so I had to be careful. I turned the Imperial Residence upside down and almost angered Second Eldest Sister."
Chu Li's face darkened. "Looks like they're using me to establish their dominance!"
He was now famous. Whether it was within the Ji Dynasty or the entire world, he was a well-known figure. Commander Meng's decision to make an example of him as soon as he was promoted showed his strength and determination.
There was even a hint of provocation in his tone. It seemed like he had something up his sleeves, which was why he did not dare to fight his way up.
Xiao Qi furrowed her brows. "Of course, but you also know that you can't be impulsive. Maybe he predicted that you'd come looking for him, so he gave you another sneak attack."
Although Chu Li was strong, he was not invincible. Moreover, even if he was an invincible martial arts master, he still had to be careful of conspiracies. It was easy to dodge a spear in the open, but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark. Even the most powerful martial arts master could fail miserably.
Chu Li slowly nodded and said, "Yes, I have to find out. I really have to look for Lu Yu Rong."
"Mm." Xiao Qi nodded. "I didn't mean it this time. It's best to ask Lu Yurong."
Chu Li smiled and said, "This Meng Xiaoqi, I'm really curious about what he's capable of and what kind of background he has!"
He was not in a hurry to take revenge. He wanted to find out more about the situation first. A little more time wouldn't make a difference.
The older one was in Jianghu, the more timid he became. He was not so arrogant as to push down all obstacles. As his martial arts became stronger, he became more cautious.
"Go ahead." Xiao Qi smiled and nudged him.
Chu Li said, "It's not a big deal. Let's talk again."
"I don't mind waiting for a while." Xiao Qi said, "It's better to ask him as soon as possible. I've been feeling uneasy, and I haven't seen Second Eldest Sister holding her breath. She's just worried that you'll be impulsive, so she didn't say anything."
She knew Chu Li well. Although he was young, he was cautious and steady. He would not act recklessly and impulsively just because he was angered. Instead, he would be even more cautious.
Chu Li got up, put on his clothes and left. He appeared in a delicate and elegant courtyard in the Ren Public House.
It was already noon. Lu Yurong was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, eating alone. She seemed to be deep in thought. Suddenly, she felt Chu Li's presence and looked up.
Chu Li gave a fist salute.
Lu Yurong shook her head and smiled. "You don't visit me for no reason."
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "Yes."
"Are you here to inquire about Meng Xiaoqi?" Lu Yurong was dressed in a snow-white gown. Her skin was like jade, and her whole body was surrounded by a faint aura of immortality. Even when she was eating, she still looked like a fairy who did not eat the food of the mortal world.
Chu Li sat opposite her.
Lu Yurong raised her voice, "Xiao Yu."
"Yes, Miss." A delicate and pretty maid fluttered over and offered a bowl and chopsticks.
Then, another maid brought a jade cup and a jade pot.
Lu Yurong personally poured a cup of wine for him. She shook her head and sighed. "This Meng Xiaoqi, I am also very curious about who he is."
Chu Li smiled. "Don't tell me he jumped out from a crack in the rock?"
"It does look like it came out from a crack in a rock." Lu Yurong nodded lightly. "When I was in the Crown Prince's Residence, there was no such person. Based on my investigation, this person also appeared out of thin air."
Chu Li said, "If that's the case, how could he gain the trust of the Crown Prince and the Emperor to take over the Secret Guardians Hall?"
"Exactly." Lu Yurong nodded. "Unfortunately, I can't go to the Crown Prince's Residence to personally meet this person. But this person is very mysterious, and his methods are ruthless. His martial arts is very high. He is not easy to deal with."
Chu Li frowned. "Is he hostile towards me, or is he using me to establish his authority? If he wants to use me to establish his authority, his ambition is not small. "
"Looks like he's using you to establish his authority." Lu Yurong said. "If he is hostile, he would not just search the Imperial Residence and do nothing else."
Chu Li slowly nodded.
Lu Yurong clapped her hands.
The maid called Xiao Yu left gracefully. After a while, she came back with a stack of files. She placed them on the stone table, taking up most of the table.
Lu Yurong pointed at the files.
Chu Li picked one up and flipped through it. It was all the information about Meng Xiaoqi. Who he talked to, what he said, his daily routine, and a clear portrait.
Chu Li looked at the portrait.
The portrait was of a young man. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He had a sharp nose and thin lips. There was a hint of gloominess in his handsomeness. One look and you could tell that he was not an easy person to deal with.
Chu Li sighed. "He's so young. Could he be of royal blood?"
"It's highly possible." Lu Yurong nodded. "I have the same feeling. But there's no way to verify it. If he's from the royal family, he must be very secretive. Outsiders would not be able to find out."
Chu Li nodded. "What level is his cultivation level?"
"I'm afraid he might not be weaker than me." Lu Yurong frowned.
She could not understand it. It was a coincidence that she managed to cultivate to this level. It was a miracle that could not be replicated. It seemed like she was luckier than Chu Li, but there was another young man who was just as lucky.
Chu Li said, "I'd like to meet him."
"Most people don't know what level your cultivation level is." Lu Yurong smiled. "Except for a few Enlightened Masters. The Enlightened Masters today are stronger than before, so they might not be afraid of you."
Chu Li nodded.
This was also the source of Meng Xiaoqi's stubbornness. Leng Wufeng must have tacitly agreed to it. He felt that he had the upper hand, so he no longer had any scruples. If Leng Wufeng did not want to offend him, Meng Xiaoqi would not use him to establish his dominance.
Lu Yurong said, "How about this? I'll test him out first. He won't dare to do anything to me."
Chu Li shook his head and laughed. "Forget it, I'll do it myself."
"It's time to give the Emperor a warning." Lu Yurong scoffed. "He becomes arrogant once he's proud. The Leng family is like that. He can't be too proud or he'll become another person."
The Crown Prince was like this, and so was the Emperor. Like father, like son.
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "That might not be the case. He might teach me a lesson first."
After drinking two cups of wine, he suddenly disappeared and reappeared in a restaurant in Fairy's Capital.
The Omniscient Mirror spread out and appeared in the Secret Guardians Hall. He saw a young man sitting in the basilica. It was the new commander, Meng Xiaoqi.
He was thin and tall. Although he was slightly short, he gave off a strong sense of vigor.
He seemed to have sensed something and suddenly looked in Chu Li's direction. It was as if he was looking at Chu Li through the Omniscient Mirror.
Chu Li was startled. He squinted his eyes. Something was wrong!
