Chu Li took out a dossier from his sleeve and opened it. "Le Dongchu, a native of Yue Shan, Green Hill Road. He has been a disciple of Feng Huang Mountain since he was young and stepped into the Grandmaster's Boundary a year ago."
He put away the dossier. "Le Dongchu, am I right?"
Jing Zhixue's face darkened.
He did not expect Chu Li to find out his background so quickly.
Logically speaking, he was a secret master even in Feng Huang Mountain. Outsiders did not know about him, which was why he dared to enter the House of High Duke as a spy.
He had really underestimated the power of the High Duke's Public House. They were everywhere, and it was impossible to guard against them.
"Le Dongchu, are you working for the Ren Public House?" Chu Li asked.
"Haha!" Le Dongchu laughed heartily and said in an unconcerned manner, "Now that things have come to this, what's the point of talking about it!"
"Is it the Ren Public House?"
"Not bad!"
"Very good! Chu Li smiled, "Elder Lin, cripple his martial arts and throw him out of the Public House."
"Yes," Linquan answered with a smile. He walked up to Le Dongchu and slowly extended his hand.
"Wait, wait!" Le Dongchu's complexion changed greatly. He hastily shouted, "Why did you cripple my martial arts? I'll just leave!"
Chu Li's face darkened and he said coldly, "Do you think that the Public House is a place where you can come and go as you please? Since you've entered the Public House, you'll be restricted by the Public House's rules. For someone like you who harbors ill intentions, it's already a great mercy to expel you from the Public House. If it wasn't for the fact that you haven't caused a disaster yet, you'll definitely be beheaded! "
"Chu Li, you're vicious!" Le Dongchu scolded. "If you dare to cripple my martial arts, the Ren Public House will never forgive you!"
Chu Li said, "You're wrong. It should be Feng Huang Mountain that won't forgive me, right? I'd like to see what your Phoenix Mountain is capable of, Elder Lin! "
"Yes," Linquan replied. Without waiting for Lei Dongchu's reply, Linquan struck his dantian with his palm.
Everyone heard a long whistling sound. Le Dongchu was like a broken ball. He quickly became dispirited, and his essence, Qi, and spirit dissipated.
The surrounding people trembled, as if this palm had landed on their bodies.
A Grandmaster, an existence that could only be seen but not reached. He might not have the luck to step into the Grandmaster's Boundary in his lifetime.
However, such a Grandmaster was crippled just like that. He fell from the clouds to the mud, just like an emperor turned into a beggar. Just the thought of it was terrifying.
In this world, without martial arts, one was a cripple. He was originally proud and arrogant, but now he had become a cripple. This Le Dongchu was finished!
Chu Li waved his hand. Linquan picked up Lei Dongchu and Zhao Qingshan picked up the two men. They swept past the crowd and fluttered onto the small boat. Then, like an arrow shot from a bow, they left for the mansion gate and soon disappeared.
Chu Li nodded at the crowd and turned around to walk towards the Martial Arts Hall.
Everyone hurriedly cupped their fists and bowed. They were secretly apprehensive and felt a chill run down their spine.
Chief Chu's power was increasing day by day, even though he was a Grandmaster. It was enough to make one suffocate. Just a glance from him would make one's entire body go cold.

Xue followed behind Chu Li. She pursed her lips tightly to prevent herself from laughing.
This was too satisfying, too satisfying! It was too impressive!
The guards on the training field didn't dare to look at their Young Master.
In the blink of an eye, the Young Master did not even need to lift a finger to cripple a Grandmaster. Who would dare to go against the Young Master? Speak ill of the young master?
Chu Li thoughtfully entered the Martial Arts Hall. He directly went up to the Ancient Library on the fourth floor and flipped through the books one by one. He quickly finished reading and shook his head. There was no record of the Heavenly Demonic Power.
He walked back and Xue hurriedly followed.
He stood at the bow of the small boat. The breeze blew and Chu Li's white robe fluttered. He thoughtfully looked in the direction of the Island of Symphony.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Xue was puzzled. "You should be happy that you got rid of that guy!"
Chu Li glanced at her and shook his head.
Lei Dongchu was not a spy from the Ren Public House. He was from the Imperial Residence of Prince An.
Prince An's boldness was obvious.
However, this was not the truth to Master Xiao Tieying.
Master Xiao Tieying always thought that Prince An liked this marriage. He felt that Second Sister was the first beauty of the Great Ji Dynasty and the Second Lady of the Public House. She was good enough for Prince An. Prince An should be happy.
Xiao Qi decided to hide it from Master Xiao Tieying because she was afraid that he would be angry and do something stupid.
Now that it had come to this, she could not tell Master Xiao Tieying.
Since he did not discuss it with Xiao Qi, he could only keep it in his heart and not tell anyone.
He was now a Grandmaster. It would not be difficult to kill Prince An but the Emperor would be difficult.
If Prince An died, the Emperor would be furious. He might even do it himself.
He could not even take a punch from High Duke Lu, let alone the Emperor.
An Enlightened Master must have some magical skills. No matter how secretive he was, he might be found out and targeted.
Then his little life would be over!
He wanted to kill Prince An but he was afraid of hurting him. He had been thinking of a solution.
Suddenly, a small boat came from afar. A slender lady was standing on the boat. It was Yang Xu, the maid sent by Prince An.
"Chief Chu! Chief Chu! "Yang Xu called from afar.
Chu Li controlled the small boat and shot towards her like an arrow, "Miss Liu."
Yang Xu was wearing a floral green gown. She curtsied, "Chief Chu, the Lady wants to see you."
"… Okay," Chu Li nodded.
Xue pursed her lips and smiled, "Master, do I have to go too?"
"You go back first," Chu Li said and landed beside Yang Xu.
Yang Xu smiled, "I heard that Chief Chu is at the Martial Arts Hall. I was about to go there but I didn't expect to meet you here."
Chu Li asked, "Is there anything the Lady wants?"
He controlled the small boat. Yang Xu did not need to paddle. The speed was fast and Xue was soon left behind.
Yang Xu shook her head, "The Lady seems to have something on her mind."
Chu Li nodded, "How is Zhu Quan?"
"He …" Yang Xu pursed her lips and smiled, "He's turning into a wild child. He's crazy from playing."
"That's good," Chu Li nodded, "There's no rush for him to practice martial arts. He needs to build his foundation and he'll be successful in the future."
Yang Xu beamed with joy.
Chu Li looked at her, "Does the Lady like to be alone?"
"She likes to let me be by her side," Yang Xu smiled.
Chu Li said, "She has suffered since she was young. It's inevitable that her personality would be a little weird."
"The Lady is kind. I understand," Yang Xu said.
She entered the palace at the age of twelve. She had seen many concubines that were difficult to serve. That was why she was able to serve Siao Shi. Normal maids would not be able to do it.
Chu Li sighed, "If that's the case, you can always follow the Lady."
"Yes," Yang Xu smiled and nodded.
Chu Li sighed, "The Lady is also a pitiful person."
Yang Xu smiled and nodded.
The small boat docked. The sound of the guzheng could be heard from afar. The blue sea and the clear sky. Chu Li could tell that she was in a good mood.
Chu Li came to the pagoda in the sea of flowers.
Siao Shi's back was facing him. She was focused on playing the guzheng.
Looking at her beautiful back, Chu Li sighed.
God was not fair. He put all the beauty on her. There was not a part of her that was not beautiful. Every move, every smile, every frown, there was not one that was not moving.
Chu Li came to the pagoda and sat opposite her.
Siao Shi glanced at him and continued to look down. She was focused on the guzheng.
Chu Li closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the guzheng.
A gust of wind blew. Thousands of flowers swayed in the wind. The fragrance floated and lingered in the pagoda.
"Zheng …" The sound of the guzheng stopped.
Siao Shi looked up and stared at him with her clear eyes. She scoffed, "If I didn't invite you, you wouldn't have come, would you?"
