After a while, Prince An said, "Mister Yuan's words can't be trusted, but there is some truth to it."
Xu Ning took a step back and stopped talking.
Prince An pressed on the wide desk and sneered, "Even if we don't kill Second Lady Siao, we can't let Chu Li live!"
Chu Li had ruined his plans several times. If he was here, he would continue to ruin his plans.
It was better to move this kind of person away from Siao Shi as soon as possible. If not, he would be a big problem when he enters the Public House.
Prince An thought about this and said, "Meng Zhi."
"Yes!" A low voice came from outside the courtyard, "I'm here!"
"Go and let Yue Jintao kill Chu Li," Prince An said, "Isn't he called Duan Lidao? This name is good, it can break Chu Li."
"Why aren't you going?" Prince An scoffed.
Meng Zhi said in the courtyard, "Your Royal Highness, Duan Lidao only promised to do one thing for you, to return the favor. Just for Chu Li, you need him …"
"Yes, that's it!" Prince An said coldly, "Tell him that Chu Li's Light-body Technique is excellent. If he can't win, he will run. If he doesn't want to run, he has to land a hit. It's best to deal with the people Chu Li cares about first."
"Please tell me, Your Royal Highness," Meng Zhi said.
Prince An said, "Doesn't Chu Li value his Leisure Cloud Pub? He also values his little maid very much. … Let Yue Jintao kill a few people from the Leisure Cloud Pub first, or kill his little maid. Chu Li will deliver himself to him, he won't run away!"
"Yes, thank you, Your Royal Highness!" Meng Zhi said, "I'll go now!"
"Oh yeah," Prince An scoffed, "How's the progress on the Yi Public House?"
Meng Zhi hesitated.
"Why, it's not going well?" Prince An said coldly.
Meng Zhi lowered his head and said helplessly, "I'm useless!"
"What happened?" Prince An frowned, "You've always been successful, why isn't it going well this time?"
"Your Royal Highness, the Yi Public House's Glory's Will Courtyard is too powerful. All the guards are afraid and don't dare to agree." Meng Zhi sighed, "No matter how much money we give, or even using the lives of our relatives to threaten them, it won't help."
"Glory's Will Courtyard …" Prince An said coldly, "Chu Li is the Chief of Glory's Courtyard?"
"Exactly." Meng Zhi said, "There's nothing the Glory's Will Courtyard doesn't know of. Even the Grandmasters were crippled of their martial arts and chased out of the residence. … The people of the Yi Public House firmly believe that as long as you are a spy, you will never be able to escape the Glory's Will Institute. "
"Chu Li!" Prince An sneered, "He's a talent, but too bad he can't be used by me! … All the more reason to kill him! … Go! "
"Yes!" Meng Zhi flashed into the darkness.
King An glanced at Xu Ning.
Xu Ning stood there motionlessly. He didn't seem to have heard this.

Wearing a black robe, Mister Yuan left the Prince's Mansion with Ding Jian and returned to a small courtyard not far from the Prince's Mansion.
The small courtyard was located in a corner of the Divine Capital. It was the most ordinary and inconspicuous residence.
"Mister Yuan. There are guards outside. If you need anything, just let them know. " Ding Jian sent him to the entrance of the courtyard and said in a low voice, "But it's best if Mister Yuan doesn't leave this place, lest the people outside recognize you and bring criticism to His Highness!"
"I understand." Mister Yuan smiled and cupped his hands. "I won't make things difficult for Brother Ding."
"Haha, alright." Ding Jian's skinny face broke into a smile. "If there's anything, just tell the guards. They will inform me and I will take care of it myself!"
"Thank you, Brother Ding!"
"You're welcome. I'll be counting on Mister Yuan to take care of me in the future. "Ding Jian's smile widened.
"Take care of each other." Mister Yuan cupped his hands.
After Ding Jian left, Mister Yuan slowly walked into the courtyard.
He sat by the stone table and looked at the bright moon. He let out a long sigh.
He wondered if the moon in his hometown was as bright as this. What were his son and wife doing? Were they asleep? Would they think of him in their dreams?
He sighed in melancholy. The faces of his son and wife appeared in his mind.
Being in the Great Ji Dynasty, he was tense every day. He would have to live like this for the next three years!
He stared at the bright moon for a long time. He slowly returned to his house. Just as he was about to light the lamp, his expression suddenly changed. He shouted at the shadow, "Who's there!"
"Mister Yuan. Light the lamp. "A calm man's voice was heard.
"Who is it?" Mister Yuan frowned.
Judging from the voice, the person was indeed on the bed. He had never heard this voice before.
"You'll know once you light the lamp."
Mister Yuan lit the lamp and saw a young man sitting on the bed. He was spirited and heroic.
"I'm Chu Li." Chu Li cupped his hands.
Mister Yuan was shocked. "You're Chu Li?!"
Chu Li said, "It seems that Mister Yuan knows me. It's my honor! "
"What brings you here, Master Chu?" Mister Yuan asked.
He knew that Chu Li's Light-body Technique was top-notch, but he did not expect it to be this powerful.
Chu Li said, "I've heard about your conversation with King An."
Mister Yuan's expression changed.
This meant that Chu Li had snuck into the Imperial Residence without anyone knowing. His Light-body Technique was even more shocking.
What was more terrifying was that he could sneak into both the Imperial Residence of the Ji Dynasty and the Imperial Residence of the Li Dynasty. He was definitely a dangerous person!
Chu Li asked, "Are you trying to kill me, Mister Yuan?"
Mister Yuan's heart skipped a beat. "I'm just surprised. I didn't expect Master Chu to have such Light-body Technique."
Chu Li said, "Mister Yuan is a top-notch fortune teller. Why don't you let me read your fortune?"
Mister Yuan looked Chu Li up and down and frowned.
Chu Li asked, "Is there something wrong with my fortune teller?"
"Master Chu, your fortune teller is very good," Mister Yuan said. "Your life has been smooth sailing, and your wishes have come true."
Chu Li laughed. "How can there be such a good thing?"
Mister Yuan frowned and nodded. "Your fortune is indeed strange. I can't read it."
Chu Li asked, "Which faction are you from, Mister Yuan?"
"Hehe, I've been under the tutelage of a wandering Taoist since I was young. I don't belong to any faction, I'm just a person from the mountains." Mister Yuan shook his head.
He sat at the table and relaxed.
"That's rare." Chu Li's eyes lit up. "What about your family, Mister Yuan?"
"Sigh …" Mister Yuan looked melancholic and shook his head. "They're all gone. I'm wandering the world alone!"
"Oh?" Chu Li said, "That can't be right. Mister Yuan's family isn't around, but they're still alive! "
"Why do you say so?" Mister Yuan smiled.
"Mister Yuan's name is Yuan Kuohai, right?" Chu Li smiled.
Mister Yuan's smile froze.
Yuan Kuohai was his original name from the Li Dynasty. He had never used it since he came to the Ji Dynasty.
He stared at Chu Li. "Yuan Kuohai? I've never heard of it before. Where have you heard of this name, Master Chu? "
"The Li Dynasty also has a top-notch fortune teller, Yuan Kuohai." Chu Li smiled. "That must be you, Mister Yuan?"
"Have you been to the Li Dynasty, Master Chu?" Yuan Kuohai asked calmly.
Chu Li answered, "Never."
"Then how do you know about Yuan Kuohai?"
"I've heard of him." Chu Li smiled. "The Li Dynasty is collecting information about the Ji Dynasty, so the Ji Dynasty wouldn't be idle either. I didn't expect such a famous fortune teller to work for the imperial court!"
Yuan Kuohai said, "I don't understand what you're saying, Master Chu."
"You're probably threatening me with your family?" Chu Li asked. "If your family was here, would you still work for the Li Dynasty?"
"I'm just a person from the mountains. Who is the Li Dynasty and who is the Ji Dynasty has nothing to do with me!" Yuan Kuohai said.
Chu Li nodded slowly. "If that's the case, I'll fulfill your wish, Mister Yuan! Mister Yuan, do you have any belongings of your wife or children? It'd be best if it's something like hair. "
Yuan Kuohai shook his head. "I don't understand what you're saying, Master!"
"Then I'll have to offend you." Chu Li pointed his finger.
Yuan Kuohai froze.
He had sealed his martial arts to avoid detection, so he could not undo it in time. He was defenseless.
Chu Li took out a letter from Yuan Kuohai. There was a lock of hair in the letter.
Chu Li sat on the bed, wrapped the lock of hair around his finger, and activated the All-Seeing Divine Power.
A moment later, he disappeared from the bed.
