Leng Wufeng frowned when he looked at his gold medal. He dodged it and did not catch it.
The gold medal suddenly folded and flew back to Chu Li's hand.
He asked Leng Wufeng with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't you want to see if it's yours?"
"It's not my gold medal," Leng Wufeng replied.
He stared at the gold medal in Chu Li's hand with a stern look. He initially wanted to catch it because it was his personal item, and he could not allow it to fall into the hands of an outsider. However, he sensed danger just as he was about to do so.
He was shocked, but he trusted his instincts and dodged it.
Seeing how confident Chu Li was, he knew that he did not do anything wrong. Chu Li must have done something to the gold medal to make him feel threatened. Leng Wufeng asked, "Chu Li, what are you trying to do?"
"If it wasn't for my gold medal, we'll be in big trouble." Chu Li shook his head. "It was presented by the new commander of Secret Guardians Hall, Meng Xiaoqi. He said that he was ordered to search King An's Imperial Residence and the disciples of the Holy Church of Light."
"Is that so?" Leng Wufeng asked.
Chu Li smiled. "Why should I be so irresponsible? It's only a small matter. I can admit it, but I can't possibly push it to Commander Meng. Wouldn't that damage my dignity as an Emperor?"
Leng Wufeng scoffed. "I really didn't know about this. Looks like I'll have to discipline the Secret Guardians Hall."
"Who exactly is this Commander Meng? How did he gain Your Majesty's trust so quickly? Could he be from the Leng Clan?" Chu Li smiled at Leng Wufeng without blinking as he wanted to observe the man's every movement and expression.
Leng Wufeng narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "Chu Li, you're not an outsider. It's fine if you tell others, but don't spread it."
Chu Li nodded. "I won't say anything."
"Ah …" Leng Wufeng shook his head and sighed. "He's indeed a member of the Leng family who hasn't returned for a long time. The Leng family's blood flows in his veins, so I can trust him."
"Does Commander Meng have a chance to inherit the throne?" Chu Li asked with a smile.
Leng Wufeng quickly replied, "That's impossible."
Chu Li sighed. "If that's the case, the Emperor will definitely take revenge if I kill him."
"… That's right!" Leng Wufeng's face changed, and he nodded. "If you dare kill him, I won't let you go no matter what."
Chu Li smiled and said, "Then I'll have to try and see if Your Majesty can stop me!"
Following that, he disappeared from Leng Wufeng's sight in a flash.
Leng Wufeng's face changed, and he disappeared as well.
As soon as he disappeared, an old monk with white eyebrows and beard appeared in the void behind him. His eyes were clear and bright. He put his palms together and looked at the place where the two disappeared. He shook his head and sighed, "Amitabha …"
"Master, you're also getting involved in this mess?" Chu Li suddenly appeared on the spot.
The Enlightened Master's Field could restrain divine powers, but it could not restrain his Great Light Void Technique. It could come and go as it pleased, and even the Enlightened Masters could not restrain it. This was the power of the Great Light Scripture, and it was the foundation of the Grandmaster's Ultimate Heart Technique.
The old monk was startled and sighed, "Benefactor Chu, you really live up to your reputation. It seems like you have noticed me long ago."
Chu Li nodded. "Yes, although your force is weak, you can't hide it from me. Are you really going to help His Majesty get rid of me?"
"His Majesty summoned me here not to kill you, Almsgiver Chu, but to protect himself!" Monk Liao Ming smiled and shook his head. "One should forgive when possible, Almsgiver Chu. Why must you pursue me so relentlessly?"
Chu Li smiled. "If I let him go, I'm afraid that I'll be releasing a tiger back into the mountains. If he wants to harm my friends and family, can't you guarantee that he won't attack me? You should know His Majesty's temperament, right? "
"But the Ji Dynasty can't do without His Majesty now." Monk Liao Ming shook his head. "The Fu Dynasty's Emperor is getting more and more powerful, and the Ji Dynasty needs to work together to resist him. Once His Majesty ascends to the throne, the Crown Prince will be far less wise and powerful than His Majesty, and I won't be able to turn the situation around."
"Without him, the Ji Dynasty won't perish." Chu Li scoffed. "For Fa Yuan's sake, please leave quickly, Master. I don't want to hurt the harmony between the Tempest Temple and me."
"Amitabha …" Monk Liao Ming chanted loudly. "Forgive me for offending you, Fa Yuan and I are different people. Almsgiver Chu, you don't have to confuse us!"
"Sigh …" Chu Li shook his head and said, "It seems like Great Master really wants to be my enemy."
His voice resounded through the entire Divine Capital.
As slow as Leng Wufeng was, he should have realized what was going on.
Sure enough, Leng Wufeng emerged from the void in the next second and glared at Chu Li with a dark expression.
Chu Li's words and figure had made him go around in circles. It was a great humiliation. As the Emperor, when had he ever been toyed with like this?
Monk Liao Ming sighed, "When will revenge ever end? Why don't the two of you shake hands and make peace? This is a blessing for the Great Ji Dynasty, a blessing for the people."
Chu Li laughed. "Monk, you're too naive!"
He then looked at Leng Wufeng. "Your Majesty, do you know how it feels?"
"Chu Li, you're too much!" Leng Wufeng shouted.
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "I'm being presumptuous. What do you want, Your Majesty?"
"Do you think I don't dare to kill you?" Leng Wufeng scoffed.
Monk Liao Ming hurriedly waved his hands, "Wait, wait, your majesty. This old monk is not here to help your majesty kill Benefactor Chu. I'm only here to advise the two of you to stop fighting. When two tigers fight, one of them will definitely be injured.
"Great Master, I really can't tolerate his humiliation!" Leng Wufeng realized that he had been too impatient. His desire to kill burned like a raging fire, and he could not hide it. This was different from what Monk Liao Ming said when he went to invite him.
Monk Liao Ming sighed. "Actually, Benefactor Chu didn't really humiliate Your Majesty. He was only joking."
"Great Master, do you really think he was joking?" Leng Wufeng scoffed with a dark expression and glared at Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled. "Great Master, you know me well. It was indeed a joke. Your Majesty is too serious, but I'm also curious why Your Majesty is so concerned about Commander Meng."
He shook his head and smiled. "If King Ping encountered this, Your Majesty wouldn't have acted immediately and been so impatient that you've been fooled by me, would you?"
"What do you mean by that!" Leng Wufeng scoffed. "I've always been very protective of my loved ones, and I won't allow anyone to harm them!"
Chu Li replied, "Your Majesty is like that, and so am I. We're quite similar."
"Chu Li, if you harm my loved ones, don't blame me for being rude!" Leng Wufeng gritted his teeth. "No one in the High Duke's Public House will be spared!"
Chu Li grinned. "Your Majesty, do you really dare to treat the High Duke's Public House this way? As long as you take action, I guarantee that the Twelve High Duke's Public Houses will take action and offer sacrifices to the Heavens to replace the Leng Family! "
Leng Wufeng's face darkened.
If someone else had said this, he would have treated it as a huge joke. However, when it came from Chu Li, he only felt a chill down his spine.
Others might not be able to convince the Twelve High Duke's Public Houses, but Chu Li was different. He was born in the High Duke's Public House and was the son-in-law of the High Duke's Public House. To the Twelve High Duke's Public Houses, he was one of their own, so there was no need to be wary of him.
Moreover, he had sufficiently tyrannical martial arts, a sufficiently powerful backer, and even more so, he had sufficient prestige.
Under his personal persuasion, the Twelve High Duke's Public Houses would gather to issue a High Duke Decree. It would not be difficult to offer sacrifices to the Heavens to replace the Emperor, and the Leng Family would be in danger.
He narrowed his eyes at Chu Li and said coldly, "The Twelve High Duke's Public Houses' loyalty is unquestionable!"
