Chu Li shook his head and smiled, then sat on the garden stool opposite her.
Xiao Shi glanced at the surroundings and waved her hand.
The palace maids around quietly retreated, even Suru retreated.
The Imperial Garden was quiet, the chirping of insects lingered in their ears, it was exceptionally peaceful.
Xiao Shi asked, "What's wrong, are you in a bad mood?"
She knew Chu Li very well, one look at his smile and she knew he was in a bad mood. There were not many things that could upset him.
Chu Li said, "Yurong has ascended to heaven."
"Hmm …?" Xiao Shi was stunned, then shocked, "Ascended to heaven?"
She pointed at the sky.
Chu Li slowly nodded, "Ascended to the Grandmaster's Boundary."
"That's impossible, right?" Xiao Shi said, "Who could have killed her!"
Lu Yurong was extremely intelligent and had planned everything out. She had always been the one who killed others, not the other way around. To say that she was actually killed, it sounded unimaginable and unbelievable.
Chu Li said, "Great Asura! … Because of me, the Great Asuras found her, they were implicated by me. "
"Have you taken revenge?" Xiao Shi asked.
Chu Li slowly nodded.
"Can't you resurrect her?" Xiao Shi was puzzled, "Why did you let her ascend to heaven?"
Chu Li shook his head, "She doesn't want to stay in this world anymore, going to the Grandmaster's Boundary is good too, it's not easy to cultivate to become a god."
Yurong's aptitude was not bad, but her heart was not calm enough, unlike Xiao Qi, even with his help, it would be difficult for her to become an Enlightened Master in a short period of time. It was better to directly ascend to heaven and help her when she reached the Grandmaster's Boundary.
Xiao Shi smiled, "There's nothing to miss in this world."
"Maybe," Chu Li said.
Xiao Shi said, "She's relaxed, she's thrown away the burden, the Secret Guardians Hall is looking for people, it's not easy to find a commander!"
Chu Li smiled.
Xiao Shi sighed, "There's no point in staying here, you're not here, Xiao Qi is not here, I'm left alone to support the Great Ji Dynasty."
Chu Li said, "There's still the High Duke's Public House."
"Forget it," Xiao Shi waved her hand, "I can't count on them, Xu An, he's lazy too!"
"Aunt Xiao …" Xu An, dressed in a bright yellow robe, stepped out from the void. His bald head gleamed as he smiled and said, "Aunt Xiao, sorry for the trouble."
Xiao Shi rolled her eyes at him and scoffed. "You only know how to talk. You only know how to cultivate all day long. You don't care about national affairs at all."
"Isn't there Aunt Xiao?" Xu An smiled.
He pressed his palms together and bowed to Chu Li.
Chu Li gently nodded. "It's rare for your cultivation level to improve so much."
Xu An's cultivation level had increased tremendously compared to before. This was clearly not a gift from the Sky Beyond Heaven, but a result of his own cultivation. It was only because he had a deeper understanding of the Buddhist dharma that such an effect could be achieved.
Xu An pressed his palms together and bowed. "I gained a lot from fighting the Asuras."
Chu Li nodded. "Congratulations … But Xu An, it's time for you to get married. You can't possibly pass the throne to an outsider, right?"
"I want to pass the throne to Aunt Xiao," Xu An said.
Chu Li was stunned and looked at Siao Shi.
Siao Shi angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Xu An slowly said, "Aunt Xiao, I've thought about it for a long time. I've weighed it repeatedly. You're the most suitable person to pass the throne to. The Leng family doesn't have any talents. Once it's passed to them, the Great Ji Dynasty and the High Duke's Public House will be in trouble."
Once he passed the throne to someone else, what would happen to Aunt Xiao?
Based on her personality, she would never greet others with a smile. Moreover, she had been in charge of politics for so long. Her influence was everywhere. How could the new emperor allow such a thing to happen? More importantly, the Leng family did not have a good relationship with Aunt Xiao. Once they took over the throne, Aunt Xiao would be in a difficult situation. The Yi Public House would be the same.
Siao Shi frowned and shook her head.
She had thought about this before. However, with Chu Li around, others would not dare to make things difficult for the Yi Public House. As for her, she could just ascend to heaven and leave. It was not a big deal. Hence, it did not matter who took over the throne.
Chu Li pondered and said, "That's a good idea. Once I take over the throne, I can become an Enlightened Master. It'll be easier to ascend to the Outland. Of course, I can ascend to heaven if I don't become an Enlightened Master."
He was not the only one in the Outland. There was also Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi was now a disciple of Great Heaven Peak. She had a high position. Of course, taking care of Siao Shi was not a problem.
Siao Shi sighed. "I'm a woman. Who would be convinced if I took over the throne?"
"Women are not inferior to men." Xu An smiled. "Aunt Xiao's ability, which Chancellor would not be convinced?"
Siao Shi chuckled and shook her head.
This was true. The Chancellors were tortured by her and were afraid of her.
Chu Li said, "There's no rush. I'll think about it slowly."
He did have this idea. He did not expect Xu An to suggest it. This was a shortcut for Xiao Qi but it was not necessary.
Xu An said, "I want to ascend to heaven."
"Why do you want to ascend so soon?" Siao Shi frowned. "How long has it been since you ascended the throne?"
Xu An shook his head. "I have enough in this life. I can cultivate in my next life."
His Ten Lifetimes of Buddhahood was progressing step by step. Since he had completed his cultivation in this life, he could enter his next life. Staying in this life would only delay him.
"You …" Siao Shi frowned and looked at Chu Li. "If Xu An ascends just like that, will there be chaos?"
"No." Chu Li shook his head.
He could still suppress the Ji Dynasty for now. After all, he had only been away for a short period of time. However, if a few years were to pass, his prestige would dissipate. There would be a lot of resistance when he passed the throne to her. It would cause chaos in the Ji Dynasty and other countries might even take advantage of the situation.
Now, there was the threat of Asura and the Heavenly Demon on the outside. With Chu Li holding the fort internally, there would not be much resistance.
Xu An smiled. "With Chief Chu around, no one will dare to mess around. Aunt Xiao, you can smoothly take over the throne."
Siao Shi frowned and pondered. She was thinking about the pros and cons.
Chu Li said, "Since Xu An has made up his mind, let's do it!"
Xu An bowed to him, thanking him for his support.
He understood that without Chu Li's support, it would be hard for him to convince Siao Shi. After all, this was not a good job for her.
"You just have to swear to pass the throne to the Leng Family's disciples." Chu Li said, "This will eliminate most of the resistance. After all, the Leng Family's disciples don't have many people. They're useless!"
Siao Shi was a decisive person. She said slowly, "Then I'll try. If it doesn't work, I'll resign. Let's do it a month later. I'll let the news out and see everyone's reaction."
"Alright." Xu An smiled.
The sudden change of the throne would inevitably cause some people to waver. However, no matter how they waver, it would not cause too much of a commotion. Her background had determined that no one would mess around. After all, she was from the House of High Duke. Her loyalty was unquestionable.
As for what would happen next, he did not have to care too much. With Aunt Xiao's methods and Chu Li's prestige, it would be enough to deter the rascals.
Letting the news out first was enough to show her methods. She wanted to see who would oppose her fiercely. After succeeding the throne, she would teach them a lesson. Otherwise, if she were to ascend the throne immediately, those who opposed her would have scruples. They would only pretend to obey her but oppose her. It would be hard to deal with them.
Siao Shi smiled. "Let's see who's courting death."
