Meng Yu let out a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Chu Li would be stubborn and arrogant. If that happened, Meng Yu would be forced to kill him.
To achieve great things, one needed to be ruthless or they would be harmed. Li Chu knew his past and future so well. If the enemy got his hands on it, it would mean his weakness was under their control. This was something he could not allow.
Chu Li said, "I don't have many hobbies. I like to travel and eat all kinds of delicacies. It's inevitable that people get greedy when they get old."
"Feel free to eat as much as you want. I'll take care of everything." Meng Yu laughed. "You can come and go as you please. As long as you have this, I'll be able to find you at any time."
As he spoke, he took off the thumb ring on his hand and passed it to Chu Li. "If there's any danger, break this ring and I'll rush over!"
Chu Li's white eyebrows twitched. He looked at the jade thumb ring and took it. "There's such a mystical item?"
"This item is indeed mystical. I got it from a fortuitous encounter. I've been carrying it with me ever since. It's a condensation of my blood." Meng Yu smiled. "Don't underestimate it and treat it like an ordinary accessory."
"I'm ashamed to accept such a mystical item." Chu Li handed it over again.
Meng Yu pushed it over and said, "You must accept it. If you're in danger, you won't be able to get help even if you cry for help!"
Chu Li laughed. "I've read my fortune before. I don't have long to live."
Meng Yu was stunned.
Chu Li said, "Based on my fortune, I'm afraid I can only live until the end of the year. There's nothing I can do!"
"You're full of vigor. How can you reach the end of your life?" Meng Yu shook his head.
He looked at Chu Li. Although his wrinkles were deep and his eyes were cloudy, his vigor was still there. He did not look like someone who only had a year to live.
Chu Li smiled. "It's the final radiance of a setting sun. This is fate. I can't force it no matter how strong I am."
"From what I know, there are some items that can prolong your life. Don't you want them?" Meng Yu asked.
Chu Li's eyes lit up. He then shook his head and hid the sharpness in his eyes. He sighed. "How can an old man like me covet such an item? Forget it."
Meng Yu laughed and said, "Is fate unchangeable?"
Chu Li thought for a moment. "Fate is like a big river, and humans are like fish in the river. No matter how strong the fish is, it's impossible for them to jump out of the river. They can only swim along the river, and if they jump out of the river, they'll die."
"Nothing can be changed?" Meng Yu asked.
Chu Li said, "There are many tributaries in the river. Fishes can choose which one they want, and this is a chance to change their fate. However, no one can change whether the river flows from east to west, just like how no one can change the course of a person's life."
Meng Yu had a faint smile on his face. "Sir, can you see if your fate can be changed?"
Chu Li sighed. "Meeting you is my struggle. I'm trying to see if I can change my fate."
"Haha, so it turns out that Sir wants to obtain the life-prolonging spirit pill?" Meng Yu asked.
Chu Li shook his head lightly. "Let nature take its course. Life extension spirit pills might not necessarily be the only thing that can prolong one's life."
"Unfortunately, I don't have the life-prolonging spirit pill." Meng Yu showed a helpless expression and sighed. "Otherwise, I'll really give it to you."
He actually had the life-prolonging pill, but he did not want to give it to Chu Li for free. Otherwise, if he left immediately after giving it to Chu Li, he would not be able to think of anything else. Even if he gave it to Chu Li, he would not put in the effort and pretend to be ignorant. That would be troublesome.
Only by whetting his appetite with the life-prolonging pill could he better control him.
Chu Li looked at his expression and naturally understood what he was thinking.
If Chu Li did not give Meng Yu a handle, with Meng Yu's temperament, he would not be at ease. Now that he finally had a fatal weakness, Meng Yu would be more at ease and trust him.
"Then forget it." Chu Li shook his head. "Life extension is up to fate. … Oh right, I would like to visit the Governor's Residence. I wonder if it's possible?"
Instead of hiding, it was better to be open and aboveboard. It would not attract suspicion.
"What's there to visit in the Governor's Residence?" Meng Yu smiled.
Chu Li smiled. "Although I don't want to stay in the Governor's Residence because I don't have enough freedom, I'm very interested in the atmosphere of the Governor's Residence. Also, I can faintly feel that there's an extraordinary person in the Governor's Residence. He's like a dragon, so I want to meet him."
Meng Yu squinted his eyes at him and smiled faintly. "Sir, do you want to meet that important person?"
Chu Li shook his head. "That important person is not someone I can meet."
"Why?" Meng Yu asked.
Chu Li said, "His aura is too strong, too rigid. I don't have that kind of fate!"
"… Alright." Meng Yu nodded slowly. "Then I'll bring you into the residence to have a look."
"Thank you." Chu Li fist saluted.
He almost pressed his palms together and bowed, but he reacted in time.
Meng Yu smiled. "It's a small matter. However, you can only observe. You can't do anything out of line and don't alarm others."
"Alright." Chu Li nodded.
The two of them went downstairs and slowly walked towards the Governor's Residence.
Chu Li followed Meng Yu and felt an invisible force obstructing them. As Meng Yu got closer, the force disappeared. The two of them entered the residence. Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror instantly observed the entire Governor's Residence in his mind.
He intentionally avoided a small courtyard to avoid being noticed by the people in the courtyard.
It was a quiet courtyard at the easternmost end. It was located in a secluded location, so it was difficult for others to notice it. Moreover, the courtyard did not have any aura at all. It was one with heaven and earth, so much so that it was difficult to tell it apart. One could not even sense that there was someone there.
The two of them finally arrived at Meng Yu's courtyard.
Chu Li stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. His expression was solemn as he slowly looked in the direction of the small courtyard.
Meng Yu looked surprised. "What's wrong?"
Chu Li sighed. "He's indeed not an ordinary person. He's like the sun in the middle of the sky, brilliant and unparalleled!"
Meng Yu asked, "Sir, what can you tell?"
Chu Li nodded. "Such a person is entrenched here. He's like a sleeping dragon. How can I not tell? … Sigh, if you want to achieve something, it's better to stay away from this important person."
His heart was tense and he was ready to escape at any time. He was not confident that he could hide the Life and Death Scripture from Wan Ziyang completely.
Meng Yu frowned as he looked at him.
Chu Li nodded deeply. "This important person should belong to the Blazing Sun, right? Unfortunately, he's too powerful and it'll only bring harm to you. If you really stay by his side, you'll only be suppressed and lose your luster. "
"I see." Meng Yu slowly nodded.
He did feel restrained in front of Wan Ziyang. He felt oppressed and oppressed, but he could not show it. It seemed like it was due to their mutual fates that he was suppressed.
"Young Meng?" Suddenly, a voice rang beside his ear.
Meng Yu quickly closed fist saluted. "Yes, Island Master."
A gentle and magnetic voice rang. "Is there a guest?"
Meng Yu looked at Chu Li and nodded. "Yes, I've invited a friend over as a guest. Island Master, would you like to meet him?"
"… Bring him over." The gentle voice rang.
"Yes." Meng Yu quickly nodded.
Chu Li did not seem to hear anything. He was focused on the direction of the small courtyard in the east, deep in thought.
"Sir, follow me." Meng Yu smiled. "That important person wants to meet you."
Chu Li smiled. "Alright."
Meng Yu said, "Be careful, Sir."
Chu Li slowly nodded.
