Chu Li smiled. "Feeling that Xu An has grown up?"
"Yes, the little monk has grown up too." Siao Shi nodded.
Chu Li said, "He couldn't bear it, that's why he left in such a hurry … Let's go."
Siao Shi rolled her eyes and scoffed. "I know what he's thinking!"
Chu Li shook his head and laughed. He grabbed her wrist and returned to Symphony Island. Leng Shouren and Leng Shouqian were both there.
Chu Li fist saluted and sat down in the gazebo. "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Xu An won't take over the throne. He wants to become a Buddha and the throne is insignificant to him. He prefers the life in the Titanium Temple. Forget it, let him be!"
"Such a strong Buddha nature." Leng Shouren sighed. "Fine, if that's the case, we won't force him. Let's pass the throne to Fourth Brother. But since Fourth Brother is in a hurry, it's best for you to accept the Enlightenment Technique before ascending the throne."
"Of course." Chu Li nodded.
King Ping's martial arts was not high, so his achievement as an Enlightened Master would be limited.
"Enlightenment?" King Ping said, "I don't think that's necessary."
"If you don't want to be bullied after you become the Emperor, you still have to do it." Leng Shouren said, "But there's a risk with enlightenment. It's possible that you won't be able to have an heir. Fourth Brother, you don't have a child yet …"
King Ping pondered.
Chu Li said, "Then let's wait. It won't be too late to wait until Consort Ping is pregnant."
Leng Shouren nodded. "That's for the best. I've suffered this before. I hope Fourth Brother will reconsider."
From the bottom of his heart, he did not want to hand over the throne to King Ping. However, since he had already made the vow, he would naturally abide by it. Moreover, he was disheartened and did not hate King Ping that much. However, it was also a pleasure to be able to drag things out for a while and whet King Ping's appetite.
King Ping sighed. "Then let's wait."
Chu Li said, "Two months. Your Highness, we can't delay it for too long."
"… Alright." King Ping nodded slowly.
Chu Li then sent the two off.
When he returned to his island, he was filled with guilt. He had worked hard for nothing. In the end, the throne did not fall to Xu An. It was a blessing that it fell to King Ping. At least he did not have to worry about the rear and could focus on his work.
"Young Master, Li Meng is here." Xue Ling came and whispered.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Xue Ling said softly, "She disguised herself and came here quietly."
"Bring him to me." Chu Li frowned.
He carefully sensed that nothing had happened to Sun Mingyue. Why did Li Meng come here so sneakily?
Xue came in with a handsome young man.
This handsome young man strode forward with a straight back and a dignified appearance. There was no trace of makeup on him, and no one could tell that he was Li Meng in disguise.
Chu Li nodded in satisfaction.
"Martial Uncle Chu, can my disguise fool others?" Li Meng proudly turned around and replied with a smile. Her voice was sweet and melodious.
Chu Li smiled. "That's right! … Sit down and talk. "
"I'll just stand," Li Meng said.
"Does your master have something important to tell me?" Chu Li did not force the issue and went straight to the point.
"Master sent me here to pass on a message to tell Master's Junior Chu not to go to the Great Light Peak for the time being."
"Huh?"
"It's because a Great Grandmaster has come to Great Light Peak." Li Meng curled her lips and scoffed. "This Great Grandmaster has ordered Master to cut off all ties with you, Master's Junior Chu."
"A Celestial Being?" Chu Li asked.
Li Meng slowly nodded.
Chu Li frowned and stood up to pace with his hands behind his back.
Li Mengwu's big round eyes stared at his figure, following his movements and turning her eyes.
"He's not here with good intentions. This Great Grandmaster wants your master to kill me, right?" Chu Li asked.
Li Meng hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Chu Li said, "Your master strongly disagreed, but your Great Grandmaster was too aggressive and took out the sect's order, so your master had no choice but to take a step back and stop contacting me. Am I right?"
Li Meng nodded vigorously.
She could not help but secretly praise Master's Junior Chu for being so smart.
Chu Li did not read her thoughts and only speculated, "Looks like the Li Dynasty really wants to join forces with the Zheng Dynasty to fight against the Ji Dynasty."
"… Yes!" Li Meng hesitated for a moment and slowly nodded.
She was siding with her family and not with reason. Even though she was from the Li Dynasty, she still acknowledged the news.
Chu Li sighed. "It's been hard on your master."
On one side was the sect's order, and on the other side was him. Sun Mingyue must be under a lot of pressure to be caught in the middle. Fortunately, she had a steady personality and could withstand the pressure. She even secretly sent Li Meng to inform him.
Li Meng sighed. "It's really hard on master."
Chu Li nodded. "Anything else?"
"Also, master told you to be careful of one person," Li Meng said. Li Meng said, "He is Dong Guangyi, the Zheng Dynasty's newly appointed Heavenly God, a genius disciple of Black Tortoise Mountain. Master said that this Dong Guangyi is a proud son of heaven, and his luck is exceptionally good. You must be careful."
"Not inferior to me?" Chu Li asked.
Li Meng nodded.
Chu Li pondered. "Dong Guangyi …"
He had never heard of this person before.
When he was the commander of the Secret Guardians Hall, he had a deep understanding of the Zheng Dynasty. There was no master named Dong Guangyi in the Black Tortoise Mountain. This meant that Dong Guangyi suddenly rose to power. He must have had a fortuitous encounter or cultivated hard for decades to amaze everyone.
"I heard master say that there's a big shot among the Celestials behind Dong Guangyi," Li Meng said. "His martial arts is excellent and his cultivation level is high. I'm afraid he'll become a strong opponent for you, Master's Junior Chu. You must not be careless."
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
"Oh, right!" Li Meng clapped her hands and quickly said, "I almost forgot to mention that Dong Guangyi is also very young. He's about the same age as you, Master's Junior Chu."
Chu Li smiled. "That's interesting."
Li Meng said, "Anyway, master seriously told me to be careful of this person. I don't want to fail miserably and ruin my reputation."
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
The title of the world's number one master had always been a joke. Who would dare to call themselves the world's number one? He had never thought of himself as such.
Li Meng hesitated for a while and said softly, "Master also said that you shouldn't get involved in the matters between the Ji Dynasty and the Zheng Dynasty."
"Hmm?" Chu Li was stunned.
Li Meng nodded. "That's what master said, and he didn't look too good."
"Not good …" Chu Li pondered.
Sun Mingyue should know his temperament. He would never stand by and watch innocent people suffer in a war. He would definitely stop the war from happening.
However, she warned him not to get involved. There must be an inside story, but she could not say it out loud. Chu Li had to speculate.
Sun Mingyue must have told him not to get involved for his own good. If that was the case, it would be dangerous for him to get involved. It meant that the Zheng Dynasty and the Li Dynasty were very powerful and he was no match for them.
It seemed that Dong Guangyi was indeed a strong opponent. He even had a powerful Celestial Being.
"Anything else?" Chu Li asked gently.
Li Meng shook her head. "No, that's all."
"Alright, I understand." Chu Li smiled. "Tell your master not to worry. I know what I'm doing."
"Master advises you not to mess around. We can't stop a war between countries," Li Meng quickly said.
Chu Li smiled.
Li Meng knew that he did not listen to her when she saw his smile. She became anxious. "Master can't be wrong. Master's Junior Chu, please listen to me!"
Chu Li said, "I'll try my best."
