Either she had a treasure on her, or she had a profound cultivation level that could block his observation. Only an Enlightened Master could block his observation.
He thought about it and could not be sure that she had a treasure on her.
Chu Li could not help but think of Meng Xiaoqi when he saw her strange appearance.
Meng Xiaoqi was also shrouded in a layer of light that was blurry and indistinct. He looked similar to Consort Ping. Could they both be Celestials?
Chu Li shook his head when he thought of this. Celestials would not marry a Royal Highness.
Although King Ping was powerful, his cultivation level was not the best. Now that his military power had been lost, he could only be a Royal Highness without any possibility of inheriting the throne.
Moreover, her aura was that of the Empyrean Fairy Power. He had to ask Lu Yurong about the inheritance of the Empyrean Fairy Power.
Consort Ping had always wanted to see Lu Yurong. She obviously had her own motives, but it was hard to say whether it was good or bad.
"How did you meet her, Your Royal Highness?" Chu Li put down his wine glass and asked curiously.
King Ping chuckled. "Come to think of it, it's quite a coincidence that the Princess is originally from Fairy's Capital. It's just that we rarely meet each other. There was one time when I went out of the city to relax and accidentally bumped into the Princess. It was love at first sight, so I married the Princess in one go."
Chu Li nodded slowly and smiled. "I see. It's really fate."
"Exactly." King Ping smiled. "There aren't many women in the world who can make me fall in love at first sight."
Chu Li said, "Congratulations, Your Royal Highness. With the Consort as your companion, you don't have to be alone for the rest of your life. You're very fortunate!"
King Ping nodded slowly and stopped smiling.
Consort Ping gently held King Ping's hand.
Chu Li looked at them with a smile, but he was carefully observing Consort Ping in his mind. He could feel that Consort Ping was also carefully observing him.
Chu Li secretly sighed in relief. He did not feel any hostility from Consort Ping. She was not hostile towards him, but he did not know how she treated Lu Yurong.

When Chu Li suddenly appeared in the backyard of Ren Public House, Lu Yurong was still reading under the light.
Under the light, Lu Yurong was like a jade beauty, quiet and elegant. She put down her book gently and looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li sat opposite her and frowned. "I met a woman who cultivated the Empyrean Fairy Power today, Consort Ping."
"Empyrean Fairy Power?" Lu Yurong was stunned. She said thoughtfully, "Logically speaking, no one in this world will cultivate the Empyrean Fairy Power anymore. The inheritance of this power is extremely rare, and it is very difficult to comprehend. It requires special qualifications."
Chu Li nodded. "Yes."
"The new Consort Ping has actually cultivated the Empyrean Fairy Power?" Lu Yurong stood up and paced around with her hands behind her back. Her feet moved lightly, and a faint fragrance followed closely behind her.
After a while, Lu Yurong stopped and said, "Looks like I'll have to go take a look."
Chu Li said, "She really wants to see you too."
"Does she also know that I've cultivated the Empyrean Fairy Power?" Lu Yurong frowned.
Chu Li nodded. "She should know."
The Empyrean Fairy Power was Lu Yurong's secret. Very few people knew about it because she rarely fought. Most of the time, she won by scheming. She did not have to do it herself.
Moreover, even if he attacked, the bystanders would not know what kind of martial arts he was using.
The Empyrean Fairy Power was too secretive, and very few people knew about it.
Consort Ping's cultivation of the Empyrean Fairy Power seemed even more unusual.
"Alright, I'll go there as soon as I can," Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li nodded. "Be careful."
Lu Yurong chuckled. "I'm no longer the same as before."
Chu Li nodded. "Why don't you go to Goddess Attraction Mountain to cultivate for a while?"
Lu Yurong's cultivation level had improved by leaps and bounds. She could already retreat unscathed from an Enlightened Master.
This was beneficial to her Isolated Cultivation at Goddess Attraction Mountain. Goddess Attraction Mountain's environment was special. It was connected to the Outland, so it was easier to sense the spiritual energy of the Outland. To cultivate the Empyrean Fairy Power, she needed the spiritual energy of the Outland.
Lu Yurong shook her head. "It's useless to go to Goddess Attraction Mountain now. I need to slowly cultivate."
"Then I'll bring you there now." Chu Li thought about it and said, "We can look after each other."
"… Okay." Lu Yurong nodded slowly.
With Chu Li by her side, she was at peace and fearless.

King Ping and Consort Ping were chatting leisurely in the backyard. The maids around them had all retreated, leaving only the two of them in the backyard. The lights were as bright as day. Consort Ping had drunk some wine. Her beauty was unparalleled and her eyes were sparkling, making it difficult for King Ping to concentrate on his own thoughts.
"I didn't expect this chief to be so knowledgeable." Consort Ping shook her head. "He's so young, yet he has such martial arts skills and is so knowledgeable. It's rare."
King Ping nodded. "He has a photographic memory. He's a genius."
Consort Ping asked, "Your Royal Highness, have you known him for a long time?"
"Of course." King Ping said, "I made a promise with him. If he helps me take revenge, I'll help him ascend the throne to Third Brother's son. Chu Li has done his best for Third Brother!"
Consort Ping frowned. "Your Royal Highness wants to join the fight for the throne."
"I can't fight for it, but I'll help Third Brother's son fight for it. I'm really unwilling to let Sixth Brother take the throne like this." King Ping shook his head and sighed. "Unfortunately, Sixth Brother is very powerful. It's hard to shake him."
"With Chief Chu around, that might not be the case." Consort Ping smiled. "Your Royal Highness isn't tempted?"
King Ping shook his head. "I don't want to be an emperor. It's really boring. I'd rather be a carefree king."
Consort Ping nodded.
While the two were talking, Chu Li suddenly appeared.
King Ping smiled. "Chu Li, you're always swift and decisive. Bring your sister-in-law here!"
Lu Yurong's clothes were as white as snow. Her face was covered with a white veil, revealing only her bright eyes. She gave a fist salute. "Greetings, Your Royal Highness. Greetings, Consort."
"You're welcome." King Ping waved his hand. "Chu Li and I are like brothers. We're family."
Lu Yurong nodded and looked at Consort Ping.
Consort Ping's bright eyes sparkled as she stared at Lu Yurong. After a long time, she nodded. "Well done, Elusive Ninth Heaven Fairy!"
Lu Yurong looked at her in confusion.
Consort Ping looked at Chu Li. "Since Chief Chu is your husband, there's no need to hide it from him."
As she spoke, she took out a round jade pendant that was half the size of a palm. The jade pendant was carved with a Elusive Ninth Heaven Fairy. She handed it to Lu Yurong. "This is the Elusive Ninth Heaven Fairy Token. Take it."
When Lu Yurong saw the jade pendant, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and reached out to take it.
Consort Ping said, "The Elusive Ninth Heaven Fairy Sect has always been secluded from the world. Only the Elusive Ninth Heaven Fairy Statue is circulated in the world. Any woman who cultivates the Elusive Ninth Heaven Fairy Power can enter the Elusive Ninth Heaven Fairy Sect."
Lu Yurong pondered.
Chu Li smiled. "Must I enter the sect?"
Consort Ping shook her head. "I won't force myself."
Lu Yurong pondered. "How many disciples are there in the sect?"
Consort Ping replied, "There are three now. One is me, and two of my senior sisters."
"You don't have a master?" Lu Yurong asked.
Consort Ping shook her head. "The disciples of the previous generation have all ascended to heaven. Only two of my senior sisters remain in this world. There are only four of us who cultivate the Elusive Ninth Heaven Fairy Power in this world. It's considered a large number of people, but there are only two disciples in the previous generation. … The disciples of the Elusive Ninth Heaven Fairy Sect have all received their inheritance from the Elusive Ninth Heaven Fairy Statue. Therefore, they don't have a master. They are only disciples of the same sect. There's no affiliation between them. They communicate equally and cooperate with each other."
