"I have a way to resolve it," Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Lu Yurong looked at him with a smile.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled, "Alright, please advise me, Miss Lu!"
Lu Yurong pursed her lips and smiled, "Actually, you can think of it too, it's just that you're in the middle of it."
Chu Li pondered and shook his head, "I don't have the time."
"Your reputation in the Ji Dynasty is unparalleled, not even the Emperor." Lu Yurong smiled, "Especially this time, you've avoided a war between the two countries, it's a great merit, everyone remembers it."
Chu Li sighed, "It's good enough that they don't scold me for being a busybody!"
Lu Yurong smiled, "Justice is in the hearts of the people, except for those with ulterior motives, everyone knows what's good for them."
Chu Li nodded, "Unfortunately, I'm always busy, and I have to cultivate in isolation, where would I have the time to care about the matters of the court."
"It's fine if you don't care." Lu Yurong said, "As long as it's in name, the Xiao sisters can handle it in secret, one in the open and one in the dark, no one can say anything."
Chu Li remained silent.
If that was the case, he would inevitably be labeled as a powerful official, and would be cursed. No matter if the court did well or not, there would always be people who would curse. Where there were people, there would be conflicts of interest, and once it hindered the interests of some people, he would be cursed.
More importantly, after he reached this realm, he had no interest in worldly power, there was no joy in it. If he could control the Emperor, why would he care about the Emperor's position?
However, if he really took charge of the state affairs, people would inevitably wonder if he wanted to be the Emperor. Was he going to usurp the throne?
By then, he would be stuck with a bunch of troubles that he could not get rid of.
Lu Yurong seemed to have seen through his thoughts, she smiled, "Don't tell me you still care about your feathers?"
Chu Li replied, "I care about my feathers, and I don't want to get into trouble."
Even if people objected to Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi meddling in the affairs of the court, they would not think of usurping the throne because they were women and could not be the Emperor. There had never been a female Emperor, and the people would not be convinced.
But Chu Li was different, not only was he a man, but more importantly, he was an Enlightened Master, there was a high chance he would become the Emperor, and even the Grandmaster would not object.
Lu Yurong smiled, "You really don't want to be the Emperor?"
"No." Chu Li shook his head. "It's not like you don't know the difficulties of being an emperor."
"That's true." Lu Yurong nodded.
Chu Li scoffed, "I'm afraid that once Xu An becomes the Emperor and my wife and second eldest sister take over the government, the other ten Public Houses will not behave themselves."
"I'll think of a way to handle it." Lu Yurong smiled. "The Secret Guardians Hall and the High Duke's Public House have always been enemies."
Chu Li nodded.
It was reassuring to leave the matter to Lu Yurong.
"There's also the matter of the Celestial Beings," Chu Li said in a low voice. "More and more Celestial Beings have descended. I feel that something is off."
"Hmm." Lu Yu Rong's beautiful face retracted her smile as she frowned. "Something's not right!"
Chu Li said, "The first order of business for the Secret Guardians Hall is to investigate the Heavenly Men and see how many Heavenly Men there are in the Great Ji Dynasty. We'll try our best to monitor every single one of them."
Lu Yurong nodded lightly. "I'll handle it."
Chu Li stood up and said, "Go to the Fairy's Capital as soon as possible. Xu An will ascend the throne soon."
Lu Yurong said, "We'll leave in two days. … Help the High Duke's Public House set up a formation. The Yi Public House's formation is very good."
She did not expect that someone would really dare to break into the Ren Public House. There were no signs at all.
There would be a next time. The Ren Public House needed a formation.
Chu Li nodded without hesitation.
He took out eight pieces of jade talismans. They were all the size of a baby's palm and threw them out.
The jade talismans turned into rays of white light and shot in all directions.
After a while, fog began to gather around the Ren Public House like clouds and mist.
The people of the Ren Public House did not care at first. They thought that it was a sudden change in the weather. Later, the fog became thicker and they could not see beyond five steps. They then realized that something was wrong and shouted.
However, their shouts could not travel beyond five steps. They immediately fell into panic.
Chu Li smiled as he looked down at the people.
After a quarter of an hour, the fog dissipated and everything returned to normal.
Chu Li took out a palm-sized Jasper Talisman from his inner pocket. "This is the core of the formation. As long as you channel it, you'll be able to activate the formation. This technique can cause spiritual energy to be disrupted so that no spiritual energy can be used."
Lu Yurong smiled and took it. "Thank you very much."
Chu Li glanced at her.
Lu Yurong smiled. "Then I won't stand on ceremony. I can only leave with peace of mind with the formation."
Chu Li nodded. "Go to the Fairy's Capital as soon as possible. I'm leaving!"
He disappeared in a flash after saying that.

In the evening, the sun was setting.
Goddess Attraction Mountain was bathed in the light of the setting sun as if it was painted with a layer of red.
He appeared in Zhou Dunli's basilica and sat on the cattail hassock in front of Zhou Dunli. Beside him was his senior, Dong Jianxin.
Dong Jianxin was dressed in a blue robe. He had a strong aura. He had not seen him for a while and his cultivation level had increased greatly. It could be said that he had advanced by leaps and bounds.
He knew that this was the result of his master's meticulous training.
"Master." Chu Li broke the silence of the basilica. "There are more and more Celestials descending. This is not a good sign. Master, I want to know, will there be more Celestials descending?"
Zhou Dunli opened his eyes. His expression was inexplicably complicated. He sighed and shook his head.
Chu Li knew what he meant when he saw his expression. Heaven's will could not be disobeyed.
If that was the case, then it was not good news.
That should mean that the Celestials would continue to descend.
Chu Li frowned. "The Celestials have already caused chaos in the world. If more of them descend, it will be even more chaotic. The Celestials are now starting to attack each other. The mortals will suffer. If this continues, it will really become a chaotic world."
Zhou Dunli sighed. "You better not interfere in this matter. Don't go against the Grandmasters."
Chu Li said, "I can't just watch them destroy this world, can I?"
"It can't be destroyed." Zhou Dunli shook his head. "This world is more resistant to chaos than you think. Don't worry."
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "Master, has something like this happened before?"
Zhou Dunli hesitated and slowly said, "How do you think the antique studies of the Grandmasters were passed down?"
Today, the original Spirit Beast Martial Arts of the various sects had declined. Most of the remaining martial arts were Grandmasters' martial arts.
For example, the Holy Church of Light's Great Light Scripture, the Tempest Temple's dharma and martial arts, the Heavenly Demon Scripture, and other martial arts were almost all passed down from the Grandmasters.
Chu Li frowned.
He had read many ancient books, but there were no records of the Celestials descending.
This was too strange.
No matter how powerful they were, it was impossible to control everyone's pen and all the books in the world.
Zhou Dunli shook his head. "You can't fight against the Grandmasters anymore. Otherwise, they will destroy you regardless of anything."
Chu Li said, "I can't let these Celestials harm the people."
"The Grandmasters have accepted your suggestion." Zhou Dunli said calmly. "Soon, there will be a martial arts competition to fight for the title of the world's number one master."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
