Chu Li sized them up and said, "You're here on Commander Gu's orders to pick a fight, right?"
"We don't know what you mean, Chief Chu!" The young secret guardian said, "But the current Secret Guardians Hall is not the old Secret Guardians Hall. Please remember, Chief Chu, don't test the law, lest you make things difficult for us!"
Chu Li shook his head, "If there's nothing else, please leave!"
"Chief Chu doesn't welcome us." The other round-faced young secret guardian smiled, "Are you feeling guilty? What's the matter? "
Chu Li narrowed his eyes and sized them up. He knew that they were here to pick a fight today. They were determined to disgust him or they would not be able to explain themselves when they returned. Moreover, they were very excited that they finally found a chance to step on him.
They were envious and jealous of him. Now that they had such a chance, they must step on him.
"You think that I'm crippled of my martial arts, so you can bully me as you wish, right?" Chu Li said lightly.
"That's right!" The round-faced young secret guardian smiled and said, "Chief Chu, you should know that things are different now. You're no longer the mighty Centurion Chu from before. You're just a useless person now, so don't be so arrogant and domineering anymore. Otherwise, the Secret Guardians Hall won't be polite!"
"Alright, let's see what you're capable of." Chu Li smiled.
His figure flashed, and with two crisp sounds, the two young secret guardians were sent flying.
Chu Li slapped each of them out of the hall.
The two spun out of the hall and landed at the bottom of the stairs outside. They were in a sorry state.
The two covered their faces in disbelief and stared at Chu Li.
They knew that Chu Li's martial arts was crippled. He had an undeserved reputation, but he did not have his previous strength. Therefore, they were unscrupulous. It did not matter if they scolded Chu Li or even slapped him.
He was not a secret guardian now. Even the nobles and ministers could not control the Secret Guardians Hall. They could be arrogant in front of Chu Li.
They expected Chu Li to make a move. This was also their goal. They wanted to provoke Chu Li to make a move and then take the opportunity to teach him a lesson. Then, they would report to the commander and be rewarded.
As for Chu Li, without martial arts, he was like a tiger without claws and teeth. He was not worth mentioning.
Chu Li stood on the stairs and looked down at the two of them. He shook his head and said, "Is this what you want?"
"Chu Li, how dare you!" The round-faced young man's face turned red as he scoffed angrily, "We are secret guardians!"
Chu Li smiled. "I'm going to beat you secret guardians. Idiots like you, even if I cripple your martial arts, I'll still take care of you all the same!"
"Chu Li, just you wait. The Secret Guardians Hall will not let this go!" Another young secret guardian raised his voice and shouted, "Our Secret Guardians Hall is not the same as before. We will never allow anyone to invade us!"
"Then I'll be waiting!" Chu Li said faintly, "Now, get out of my sight!"
The two secret guardians got up and turned to leave.
They actually did not see clearly how Li's slap came over, his movement was amazingly fast, although he did not have internal energy, but he was still not their match. A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him, it's better to report this to the commander.
Chu Li looked at their backs with a gloomy face and said in a deep voice, "Chief Zhu!"
"Head Chief!" Chief Zhu hurried forward.
Chu Li scoffed and said, "Tell everyone, if anyone from the Secret Guardians Hall comes, immediately close the door and don't let them in!"
"Yes." Chief Zhu hurriedly nodded and immediately showed a troubled expression. "But if they force their way in …"
"Then directly fight back!" Chu Li said faintly.
"Yes." Chief Zhu hurriedly nodded and showed an excited expression. Then, he became slightly worried. "Head Chief, I'm worried that our protectors might not be able to defeat the Secret Guardians Hall."
"Then we'll have to wait and see." Chu Li said.
"Yes!" Chief Zhu finally did not say anything else and agreed.
Chu Li placed his hands behind his back and walked towards Tianshu Courtyard.
He was deep in thought as he walked. He had just returned to Fairy's Capital and there were already people who could not wait to jump out and humiliate him. This was really Gu Yu's style, an unscrupulous villain.
It seemed that as long as his martial arts did not recover, there would be trouble like this.
Unfortunately, his martial arts was now crippled and could not be recovered immediately. Otherwise, it would arouse the Emperor's suspicion and he needed to do something to show the Emperor.
He arrived at Tianshu Courtyard. Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi were both in the courtyard, sitting at the stone table and playing chess.
When Chu Li entered, Xiao Shi glanced at him and said faintly, "Why do you look so pale? What's the matter?"
Xiao Qi also frowned. "Did you teach the secret guardians a lesson?"
Chu Li said, "I think there will be more trouble."
"They're quite bold. Aren't they afraid that I'll just kill them?" Xiao Shi scoffed. She held a black chess piece and gently placed it down.
Chu Li shook his head. "Times are different now. Don't act rashly."
"I'll kill them and then go to the palace to complain to the Empress. I'll say that they bullied us orphans and widows!" Xiao Shi said faintly.
Chu Li said, "They're looking for trouble now. First, it's my grudge, and second, it's your grudge. Back then, you killed two secret guardians and caused the Secret Guardians Hall's status to plummet. Now that Gu Yu wants to restore the Secret Guardians Hall's prestige, he'll definitely seek revenge."
This was the sin that he had done before and now he had to pay back.
"This Gu Yu is really a piece of trash!" Xiao Shi scoffed.
Xiao Qi said, "He's now the Secret Guardians Hall's Deputy Commander, right?"
Chu Li slowly nodded.
"What about the Commander?" Xiao Qi asked, "Are you going to let him do as he pleases?"
"Commander Fu." Chu Li smiled. "The Emperor's favor isn't as good as Gu Yu's, so naturally, he won't dare to go against Gu Yu. It might seem like he's the Commander but he still has to listen to Gu Yu. The Secret Guardians Hall has always been the Emperor's lackey."
"That's troublesome." Xiao Qi frowned.
Chu Li said, "Gu Yu isn't someone to be reckoned with. Don't worry about him."
He understood Gu Yu very well. Gu Yu had great ambitions but little talent. He thought that he could do something earth-shattering but he was actually a good-for-nothing. He was arrogant, narrow-minded, and could not tolerate others going against him.
He could conclude that the Secret Guardians Hall would deteriorate under Gu Yu's leadership. The Secret Guardians Hall was unlucky to have such a person.
Although Fu Mengshan was ruthless, he knew how to do things. He was also very talented, far better than Gu Yu.
However, Gu Yu refused to accept it and wanted to win against Fu Qingshan. It was obvious that this time, he was picking a fight with Chu Li and it was also an opportunity for him to establish his authority. He took the opportunity to bully King An's Imperial Residence and make an example out of the rest of the Imperial Residences and officials.
Just then, footsteps were heard. Chief Zhu said softly from outside, "Head Chief, Commander Fu from the Secret Guardians Hall is outside and wants to see you."
"Commander Fu?" Chu Li frowned and said in a deep voice, "Please enter the main hall and serve tea."
"Yes." Chief Zhu responded and left briskly.
Chu Li frowned and pondered. The Omniscient Mirror had already seen Fu Mengshan standing outside the Imperial Residence with four Imperial Residence Protectors staring at him.
