Chu Li told her everything that had happened.
Xiao Qi nodded thoughtfully but did not comment.
Su Ru asked, "Chu Li, are you going to stand up for Zhou Jie?"
Chu Li replied, "I can't just watch a disciple of Goddess Attraction Mountain being wronged. I have to reason with His Majesty."
"Reason for what?" Su Ru scoffed. "He's in the right but you're not."
"He ran over a pedestrian with his horse, so of course he deserved to die. He deserved to be killed." Chu Li smiled. "Chief Su doesn't think he deserved to be killed."
"He did deserve to die." Su Ru nodded. "But since he's already been killed and Leng Shouren didn't kill Zhou Jie, then we're even. No one owes anyone anything."
Xiao Qi said, "You're right."
Chu Li smiled. "Looks like Madam doesn't agree with me going."
"You're right, but you still have to go," Xiao Qi said.
Not only was Chu Li in the wrong in this matter, but the key was also Chu Li's attitude and how much he protected Goddess Attraction Mountain. If Chu Li did not stand up for Goddess Attraction Mountain because he was in the wrong, people would use this to attack Goddess Attraction Mountain and make Chu Li run around for his life.
She understood that Su Ru did not want Chu Li to leave because of Zhou Jie.
Zhou Jie was a very unpopular fellow. He was unpopular throughout Goddess Attraction Mountain. Moreover, Suru also knew that Zhou Jie had made things difficult for Chu Li back then.
However, this matter did not only involve Zhou Jie but also Goddess Attraction Mountain and Dong Jianxin. She had to stand up for Zhou Jie.
Chu Li said, "Then I'll listen to Madam and go see His Majesty."
Su Ru rolled her eyes at him and felt wronged.
At his current level, there was really no need for him to be so considerate and considerate. The world was ruled by the strong, and Chu Li had already become the strongest, so he could do whatever he wanted.
Chu Li looked at Pang Shiji. "How about this, let's exchange a few moves."
"Yes!" Pang Shiji was eager to try. He also wanted to see his own limits.
He felt that after learning this sword technique, his understanding of swordsmanship had improved by leaps and bounds and could not be compared to before. However, he still wanted to know to what extent and how big the gap was between him and his master.
Chu Li waved.
Pang Shiji shouted, "Watch my sword!"
The sword was already stabbing at Chu Li.
Chu Li took a step to the side and pointed his fingers at the void like a sword.
Pang Shiji had no choice but to take a step back. Although Chu Li looked like he was unarmed, his movements were as sharp as a sword. His fingers had already pierced Pang Shiji's weak spot, forcing him to change tactics.
Pang Shiji's swordsmanship was fragmented, which made him feel strangely frustrated. He wanted to throw his sword away, but he gritted his teeth and continued to attack. He focused on finding Chu Li's flaws.
Chu Li did not use his inner energy. He only used his physical strength and swordsmanship to deal with Pang Shiji. Even so, he still pressured Pang Shiji so much that he could not breathe.
"It's about time," Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li withdrew his hand and smiled. "It's rare for me to be able to withstand so many moves. Let's practice our swordsmanship then."
Pang Shiji's understanding of swordplay had not been enlightened, and he needed a period of accumulation. However, he had exceptional tenacity, which was an advantage of being difficult. If he did not have a good understanding of swordplay, and if he did not have good tenacity, he would definitely not be able to master it.
His comprehension was not that strong, but he was tenacious enough. With the guidance of a master like Xiao Qi or himself, he would be able to make up for it. Perhaps, he would be able to achieve something in swordsmanship.
Pang Shiji secretly let out a sigh of relief.
He attached great importance to Chu Li's judgment. If Chu Li really insisted that he should not cultivate swordsmanship, it would be very difficult for him to persist. He could only give up on swordsmanship, which was equivalent to giving up the chance to become the world's number one master.
Chu Li saw through his thoughts and said, "The world's number one master is not swordsmanship. Without sufficient cultivation, it's useless no matter how good your swordsmanship is. This path is not easy, you must be prepared."
"Yes." Pang Shiji nodded firmly.

Chu Li suddenly appeared in King An's Imperial Residence.
King An's Imperial Residence was unusually quiet. Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi were not here, and only Xiao Qi's master was guarding the place. No one dared to act recklessly, not even Leng Shouren dared to trespass.
He left the next moment and appeared in the backyard of the Imperial House.
In the backyard, Leng Shouren was drinking by himself in a gazebo. He looked relaxed and at ease.
The surroundings were surrounded by exotic flowers and plants, and their fragrance filled the air.
Chu Li took a step forward and sat in front of him.
Leng Shouren extended his hand and gestured for him to sit.
Chu Li sat down. "Your Majesty, you are so carefree."
"I have become an Enlightened Master. I can do whatever I want in the world. Why wouldn't I be carefree?" Leng Shouren chuckled and put down his wine cup. He then poured a cup for Chu Li. "Come, let's have a toast."
Chu Li looked at the wine cup.
Leng Shouren said, "Does Chief Chu suspect that I will poison you?"
Chu Li nodded. "Your Majesty is indeed capable of such means. I am not fortunate enough to enjoy Your Majesty's wine."
Leng Shouren raised his eyebrows.
Chu Li smiled. "Forget it. Let's talk about Zhou Jie. Did he kill an Emperor's descendant?"
He felt that something was wrong.
Leng Shouren was too calm. He was not nervous and excited when he saw Chu Li earlier. He was unusually calm, as if Chu Li was not the world's number one master, but just an ordinary master.
Leng Shouren did not have a good relationship with him. Logically speaking, when he appeared, Leng Shouren should be nervous and worried that Chu Li would help Zhou Jie. He should be on his guard.
However, Chu Li was calm and composed, which was unusual.
This kind of situation usually meant that he had something to rely on, or nothing mattered.
No matter what the situation was, it was not good for him.
Chu Li focused the Omniscient Mirror and observed Leng Shouren's heart.
Leng Shouren felt that something was wrong. It was as if an invisible eye was spying on him. He looked at Chu Li in confusion. Chu Li looked at him calmly.
He did not find the source, but the feeling had disappeared.
He drank another cup of wine and looked relaxed.
Chu Li was moved and smiled. "It seems that Your Majesty has something to rely on. Did the Leng family send another Celestial?"
"That's right." Leng Shouren chuckled. "The ancestors of the Leng family did not give up on me and descended to the mortal world. I really don't have to worry too much."
Chu Li said, "It can't be like Meng Xiaoqi, right?"
"This time, it's not you who killed the Celestial, it's the Celestial that wants to kill you." Leng Shouren shook his head and sighed. "Chief Chu, you are also a genius. To be able to achieve what you have today as a Scribe, it's a shame that it ends here. Today, you are going to ascend to the heavens. Did you not expect this? Did you think that you should live for thousands of years and not die halfway? "
Chu Li smiled. "Your Majesty, do you really have the confidence to kill me?"
"What do you think?" Leng Shouren drank another cup of wine and sighed. "If I didn't have the confidence, how would I dare to make a move?"
Chu Li could already see from his mind that there was indeed an extremely powerful Celestial descending to the mortal world. He was hiding in the dark and preparing to kill him. However, to be safe, he still had to use a plan to kill him.
Chu Li frowned.
He did not feel the existence of this Celestial. This was a big problem.
Could it be that a high-ranked Celestial could easily descend to the mortal world?
A Celestial that could hide from him had to be at least of Song Sizu's level. The Changshen Denomination had Song Wuji, so they could send a high-ranked Celestial. But what about the Leng family?
He frowned slightly. Could it be that the Leng family also had someone important in the Outland, so they could send a high-ranked Celestial?
If that was the case, it would be a little troublesome.
Leng Shouren saw that he was silent and chuckled. "Chief Chu, is Xu An doing well?"
"Of course, everything is fine." Chu Li nodded.
Leng Shouren smiled. "Chief Chu, do you still want him to succeed the throne?"
