After about the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Chu Li appeared out of thin air with a letter in his hand. He unsealed the man's acupuncture point with a finger and passed the letter to him. "Is this from the Madam?"
Yuan Kuohai took the letter doubtfully. He took it out and glanced at it. His expression changed slightly.
He could naturally recognize his wife's handwriting.
Furthermore, the two of them had agreed on a secret code beforehand. Others would not be able to tell, and only the two of them would know if it was real or fake.
This was indeed a letter from his wife!
Chu Li said, "If you want to break free from the Li Dynasty's control, I can bring Madam and Young Master out immediately."
Yuan Kuohai glanced through the letter and heaved a long sigh of relief, shaking his head.
Chu Li said, "You know who I am."
Yuan Kuohai put the letter away and kept it close to his chest.
Chu Li said, "Do you think that the Li Dynasty will have a way to assassinate you if you hide in the Public House?"
Yuan Kuohai thought about it and shook his head.
He was the chief of the Li Dynasty's spies in the Great Ji Dynasty. He had personally sent out spies to the Public Houses and the Imperial Residences. All the residences were obedient except for the Yi Public House. All the spies were chased out of the Public House and none of them succeeded.
Although he was shocked, he did not report to his superiors. There were twelve Public Houses and eight Imperial Residences, so one Public House would not make a difference. Moreover, the Yi Public House was declining, so there was nothing to worry about.
Chu Li looked at Yuan Kuohai, who was as calm as ever, and thought even more highly of him.
This person was indeed a true talent. On one hand, he was skilled in the art of spying, and on the other hand, he was a top-notch fortune teller. On the other hand, he was a top-notch fortune teller.
He really couldn't bear to let go of such a talent. Moreover, as long as he held onto his wife and child, he would be able to control him.
Chu Li had the Omniscient Mirror, so he could see through Yuan Kuohai's thoughts at any time, so he was not afraid that Yuan Kuohai would play tricks on him.
Chu Li said, "Your wife and children have entered the House of High Duke. You don't have to worry about their safety anymore."
Yuan Kuohai said in a deep voice, "What do you want me to do?"
He had no intention of rebelling. He was willing to give his life to the Princess of the Li Dynasty and Chu Li. No matter how he looked at it, the Princess of the Li Dynasty was superior. Although he hated her to the core, he thought about it rationally. He still had to bow his head and be loyal.
However, Chu Li's divine power just now made him shudder, so he did not dare to reject him outright.
With such supernatural power, killing his wife and children would be as easy as flipping his hand. It could cost them their lives.
"You don't have to betray the Li Dynasty," Chu Li said. "Just do me a favor."
"What is it?" Yuan Kuohai stared at him warily.
Chu Li said, "Let the servants in the Imperial Residence of King An plant a type of grass. This type of grass is not poisonous, and it won't kill people either. It will only make people a little more excited. It's something to liven things up."
Yuan Kuohai asked, "Is it really not fatal?"
"King An is a Grandmaster." Chu Li said, "Do you think the poison can get close to him?"
"… I agree to this. Yuan Kuohai said solemnly. "You mean we don't know each other anymore?"
Chu Li smiled. "Mister Yuan, do you think you can fool King An?"
"What do you mean?" Yuan Kuohai asked.
"Have you seen the little monk by King An's side?"
"Yes."
"Do you know his identity?"
"… I do not know."
Chu Li sighed. "He's Xu Ning from the Titanium Temple. He possesses the Eye of Insight."
Yuan Kuohai's face darkened.
Chu Li laughed. "You've been smart all your life, but you've made such a mistake. You've underestimated the Ji Dynasty and King An!"
"How is that possible!" Yuan Kuohai frowned.
If he knew the monk's identity, he would not have been so bold. He wanted to meet King An personally to understand his character so that he could make use of him in the future. He did not want to be the victim of his own cleverness!
He had underestimated the Ji Dynasty from the bottom of his heart.
He had been in the Ji Dynasty for two years. Everything he saw was extravagant and ostentatious. The people's hearts were in chaos and they could not withstand a single blow. If the Li Dynasty's iron cavalry attacked, the Ji Dynasty would be doomed.
This underestimation made him make a bold decision to meet King An personally and provoke him to continue targeting the High Duke's Public House.
That inconspicuous stupid monk was the divine monk from the Titanium Temple. He had the Eye of Insight!
Chu Li got off the bed and stood up. "Mister Yuan, if you don't believe me, you can verify it. I'll take my leave first!"
"Wait!" Yuan Kuohai hurriedly said.
Chu Li turned to look at him. "Did you change your mind, Mister Yuan?"
Yuan Kuohai said sincerely, "Please save me, Young Master Chu."
Chu Li nodded. "I can save you, but … if you don't suffer, I'm afraid you won't believe me. I'm afraid you won't believe me. It's better to verify it yourself. "
"There's no need." Yuan Kuohai quickly said.
As the head of spies, it was important for him to be decisive.
It would not be too late to verify it after he had escaped. Why should he verify it before believing?
He hurriedly said, "Please save me, Young Master Chu!"
Chu Li coughed softly and looked at him with a smile. "Then your life belongs to me."
Chu Li said, "I'll take a few strands of your hair."
Yuan Kuohai pulled out a few strands of hair and passed them to Chu Li.
Chu Li took it. "With this item, I'll be able to use it. "With this, I can find you at the ends of the earth. Do you know what divine power this is?"
"… All-Seeing Divine Power. Are you from the Titanium Temple?" Yuan Kuohai smiled bitterly.
"Although I'm not a disciple of the Titanium Temple, I have some connections. Otherwise, I wouldn't know about Xu Ning's divine power." Chu Li smiled.
"I'm willing to serve you!" Yuan Kuohai fist saluted.
He sighed in his heart. Even if he was not as good as the princess, he could only rely on him. The lives of his family of three were in his hands. Moreover, if he really entered the High Duke's Public House, the princess would not be able to do anything to him.
Chu Li said, "You don't have to betray the Li Dynasty."
Yuan Kuohai's eyes widened. He thought he heard it wrong.
Chu Li said, "Do what you're supposed to do. Pretend you don't know me. I'll occasionally ask you for information. If you tell me honestly, I'll consider it a favor!"
"… Alright!" Yuan Kuohai nodded.
Chu Li lifted his arm and disappeared into the house.
The two of them appeared outside the Fairy's Capital.
Yuan Kuohai looked at the majestic city under the moonlight. He was shocked. It was not Light-body Technique but divine power!
Chu Li said, "Mister Yuan is also a Grandmaster. It won't be hard for you to escape. Let's split up!"
"Thank you, Young Master!" Yuan fist saluted.
"We're helping each other. There's no need to thank me. I'll send the seeds over another day." Chu Li said.
"Alright." Yuan Kuohai said.
Chu Li waved his hand and disappeared in front of him.
The next moment, he appeared in his courtyard in the High Duke's Public House.
Ever since he cultivated the Shinto's Limbs, he would go to the Imperial Residence of King An every day. If you know your enemy and yourself, you will never be defeated.
King An had Xu Ning by his side. Xu Ning had the Sarira Prayer Beads. He could not see through King An's thoughts but he could hear his words.
If it was someone else, Xu Ning would be able to sense it. However, Chu Li also had the Sarira Prayer Beads, which blocked Xu Ning's senses.
King An's injury was still there, but it had worsened. He still could not find the cure for the Empyrean Fairy Power. There were so many elixirs in the Forbidden Palace, but they still could not do anything to the Empyrean Fairy Power.
This made Chu Li shiver. He had to be careful of Lu Yurong in the future. When he fought with her, he had to be 120% alert. It would be best if he did not fight with her.
He did not have the intention to assassinate King An himself. He would not do it unless it was absolutely necessary. If he killed King An, he would lose his life.
