Chu Li's brows twitched, "Then you didn't do anything to teach them a lesson?"
"They're eager to do so!" Siao Shi scoffed, "Do you think I don't know what they're thinking? … They're counting on me to beat them up, then they'll resign and win their reputation! "
Chu Li laughed. "Don't tell me you've become a tyrant?"
"Although I'm not a tyrant, I became one after that!" Siao Shi sneered, "Then they'll become famous, and when they return to their hometown, they'll be treated like gods by the scholars."
Chu Li said, "All with the intention of gaining fame? Is there not a single minister who's loyal to the imperial court? "
Siao Shi scoffed, "There are quite a few, but they all think that for the sake of the Ji Dynasty, it's better for me to abdicate as the Empress. It's a bad start, and from then on, the imperial harem won't be peaceful."
Chu Li said, "I don't believe that with your methods, you can't rope in someone who's really close to you."
Siao Shi pursed her lips and chuckled. Her smile was so bright that it lit up the entire imperial garden, "It doesn't work even if I have these confidants. Now I can't let them speak, and instead, I have to make them jump along with me?!"
Chu Li nodded slowly, "If that's the case, these ministers will jump soon? Won't last long? "
"I'm preparing for the imperial examinations." Siao Shi said, "I'll send out a batch of students. A new emperor brings a new minister. Those old fellows should understand that once they have this batch of students, they'll be well-behaved, or else they'll be sent back to their hometown!"
Chu Li said, "These old fellows are still very important. The students that come out of the imperial examinations can't be used for ten years, and we can't suddenly promote them, or else we'll bury hidden dangers!"
"Of course, I understand." Siao Shi scoffed, "But it's so infuriating. We know they're up to no good, but we have to pretend we don't know!"
"How about Asura and Heavenly Demon?" Chu Li asked.
Siao Shi said, "Not here. Your Goddess Attraction Mountain has a master who cooperates with Stargazing Pavilion. They can predict Heavenly Demon, so it's slowly calming down, and it seems like Asura hasn't appeared much."
Chu Li frowned and slowly nodded.
Asura was crazy in the foreign battlefield, but they rarely appeared here. Clearly, something had happened. He had to go to the foreign battlefield as soon as possible to find the source, and see if he could use it.
Xiao Shi asked, "Is Xu An alright up there?"
Chu Li nodded. "He has completed his merit and ascended to the Upper Heaven as a rainbow!"
"If that's the case, he won't be able to come back?" Siao Shi looked melancholic.
Chu Li smiled and said, "He still chose to become a monk after all. By severing his ties with the secular world, you're Xu An's ties with the secular world. Now that you've completed your merit, you've completely severed your ties with the secular world. Don't think too much about it, you should congratulate him instead."
"Sigh …" Xiao Shi shook her head.
She knew this logic, but she had always seen him as her son. If he suddenly left like this, she would inevitably worry. Even though Xu An's abilities were great and far beyond what she could compare to, she still couldn't help but worry.
Chu Li asked, "Do you want to ascend now?"
"Impossible." Siao Shi sighed, "If I leave now, what about the House of High Dukes? Who will be the new emperor? "
The Imperial Family of the Great Ji Dynasty was quite pitiful. Up until now, they could not even find a suitable person to take up the mantle. She could only wait for the next generation to grow up and carefully train an emperor before ascending. Otherwise, she would be letting down the Great Ji Dynasty and the High Duke's Public House.
Chu Li nodded slowly.
"How's little sister up there?" Siao Shi asked.
Chu Li smiled and told her about it.
Siao Shi nodded lightly and sighed, "Little sister's bitterness has finally come to an end. She can finally be with you. What about Lu Yurong?"
"She's still in Isolated Cultivation." Chu Li replied.
"Sun Mingyue?" Siao Shi scoffed.
She knew Chu Li's woman very well.
Chu Li helplessly repeated.
Siao Shi frowned and stared at him, "God is really blind! … Alright, I can't be bothered to talk to you. You should take care of that disciple of yours. "
Chu Li asked, "Shiji? What's wrong? "
"He's now possessed." Siao Shi scoffed, "He just has to pursue the Bishop of the Holy Church of Light, Sun Mingyue's disciple."
Chu Li asked, "Li Meng?"
"Yes." Siao Shi replied, "He's always going to the Great Light Peak."
Chu Li's face darkened and he sighed.
As a master, he paid little attention to his disciple, Pang Shiji. Usually, it was Siao Qi and Siao Shi who guided him but they did give him plenty of pointers. It was just that they rarely guided him personally.
He had already advised Pang Shiji that the relationship between a man and a woman should not be forced. Pang Shiji had promised him but now it seemed like he had reverted to his old ways. How disappointing!
Siao Shi said, "Just scold him. Don't scold him too harshly. After all, he's still young. He's so hot-blooded that he can't control himself."
Chu Li coldly said, "He's getting bolder now that I'm not around."
"Even if you're here, it's useless to be afraid." Siao Shi shook her head.
She had also scolded Pang Shiji before. Pang Shiji was very respectful towards her and listened obediently. However, he would return to his original state after a while. Scolding him again would take a long time and after a while, he would not be able to do it again.
She had already lost her temper and was too lazy to continue.
He suddenly disappeared on the spot and appeared in a restaurant in the next moment.
The sun was setting. Pang Shiji was dressed in a white robe. He was sitting alone at a table by the window on the second floor of the restaurant. He was drinking while looking at the beautiful sunset. He looked melancholic and a lonely aura shrouded the surroundings.
There were quite a number of customers on the second floor but they were obediently two or three tables away from him. They did not dare to disturb him.
Chu Li's sudden appearance made Pang Shiji feel it and he quickly looked up.
"Master!" Pang Shiji stood up abruptly and shouted.
Chu Li sat opposite him and waved his hand, gesturing for him to sit down.
Pang Shiji slowly sat down. His back was far away from the back of the chair and he only sat at the front of the chair.
Chu Li scoffed, "Stop pretending. You're not that cowardly. Sit properly!"
Pang Shiji smiled embarrassedly. He leaned his back against the back of the chair and smiled, "Master, you're finally back."
"My return won't affect the overall situation." Chu Li said, "Isn't it great now?"
"The Great Ji's imperial court doesn't accept the new Emperor." Pang Shiji scoffed, "Everyone is bullying her!"
Chu Li said, "Aren't you her backing?"
"How can I be!" Pang Shiji quickly waved his hand and said, "I have the heart but I can't. I really hate myself for not being able to be like you, Master."
"How long have you been cultivating?" Chu Li said, "You'll be much stronger than me in the future. Don't worry."
"Yes." Pang Shiji smiled.
After getting his master's affirmation, he suddenly felt confident.
Chu Li said, "Is the martial arts world of the Great Ji alright?"
"Master's divine might is still there. He can suppress them." Pang Shiji nodded, "Moreover, there's also Great Master Fa Yuan. No one dares to act recklessly."
Chu Li nodded in satisfaction.
Pang Shiji said, "But I heard that the Holy Church of Light isn't very stable. Bishop Sun left in a hurry. Li Meng can't control the formation now. A few Priests are scheming against each other and draining the strength of the Holy Church of Light."
Chu Li glanced at him, "So you're going there so frequently to help her?"
"Yes." Pang Shiji quickly nodded.
Chu Li scoffed, "You have good intentions. Don't you have any other intentions?"
"Of course, I have a little selfishness." Pang Shiji smiled embarrassedly.
