In the end, Chu Li concluded that she came here often, which was why she could see him. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Lu. I'm flattered!"
Lu Yurong scoffed, "I've always suspected the authenticity of this news. I don't think you'll die so easily."
"Of course." Chu Li said, "But you're looking down on the Protectors of the Imperial Residence of King An!"
"Them?" Lu Yu Rong chuckled and shook her head, "It's just a decoration. Only Third Lady Xiao could sense my presence. If someone really wanted to harm the Imperial Residence of King An, you wouldn't be able to defend yourself."
"Now, who would still want to harm the Imperial Residence of King An?" Chu Li shook his head and smiled.
Lu Yu Rong said, "You should know that the High Duke's Public House has offended many people. Do you really think that no one would dare to mess around? I received news that the elder brother of a disciple of the Golden Blade Sect has joined the Sword Moon Sect. It is said that he has already left the mountain to take revenge for his younger brother. "
"Golden Blade Faction?" Chu Li smiled. "They even have such a person?"
Lu Yurong shook her head and said, "You might not know what the martial arts world of the Fu Dynasty thinks of the Ji Dynasty. In their eyes, the martial arts world of the Ji Dynasty is just a bunch of second-rate masters who can't even withstand a single blow."
Chu Li nodded.
Lu Yurong said, "This Sword Moon Sect disciple's surname is Cao, Cao Xian. He's a genius."
Chu Li said, "You're saying that he will definitely seek revenge on the High Duke's Public House by assassinating Master Xiao?"
"Siao Tie Ying?" Lu Yu Rong shook her head and said, "He won't assassinate Siao Tie Ying, but Second Lady Siao and Third Lady Siao."
Chu Li furrowed his brows. "If he's really a genius disciple, I'm sure he's proud and arrogant. He should be targeting Qiang. Why would he target my wife and Second Sister?"
"Because he also likes Third Lady Xiao." Lu Yurong chuckled. "She is your wife."
As she spoke, she lightly struck out with her palm. It was the Empyrean Fairy Palm. Her palm was as white as jade, and under the moonlight, it flickered with a warm luster. It was as if it was really carved out of white jade, and it even emitted a trace of coldness.
The two of them were very close, separated by only a table. Moreover, this palm had suddenly appeared while she was speaking, so it was impossible to guard against it.
Chu Li extended his palm and stopped the Empyrean Fairy Palm.
Bang! The two palms collided, producing a dull sound. The hot steam from the teacup on the table shook slightly, but it quickly returned to normal.
Lu Yurong and the stone block slid back two meters.
She looked at Chu Li in surprise and pursed her lips into a smile. "You've really improved a lot. It looks like you've really profited from your misfortune!"
Chu Li glared at her angrily. "You're here to see if I'm dead or not before telling me about this Cao Xian?"
"Yes." Lu Yurong nodded and stood up. "Since we're done with business, I should take my leave."
Chu Li fist saluted. "Thank you."
Lu Yurong waved her hand and suddenly stopped when she was about to turn around. She said casually, "Oh right, I heard that the Young Prince is returning to the Imperial Residence?"
Chu Li frowned. "You really did send someone to keep an eye on the Titanium Temple!"
"There's no harm in being careful." Lu Yurong said with a smile, "If something happens to the young Prince, we will be able to know the truth and avoid being framed. By the way, the young Prince is returning to the Imperial Residence, right?"
Chu Li said, "I'm just out to experience the world and hone my Buddhist heart. Why are you so nervous?"
"Honing one's Buddhist heart is a good thing. I'm just afraid that the young Prince is going to use the entire Ji Dynasty to hone his Buddhist heart and become the Emperor." Lu Yurong said casually, "What better way to hone one's Buddhist heart than being the Emperor!"
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "You're right to think that way. But Xu An might not have the same thought. He grew up in the Titanium Temple and prefers peace to action. Even if he becomes the Emperor, he would still be afraid of it."
"He's still young and his mind is uncertain. He might not have any ideas. It's better to be careful." Lu Yurong smiled and shook her head. "The Imperial Residence of King An is welcoming the young Prince. Congratulations."
"Maybe he'll leave after a few days. What's there to congratulate?" Chu Li smiled. "Why are you being so careful? Is the position of His Highness the Crown Prince still not secure?"
Lu Yurong said, "Of course His Highness the Crown Prince is as stable as a rock. He just doesn't want to see the Ji Dynasty fall into internal strife and lose the ability to deal with the Li Dynasty's attack. This is His Highness' compassionate heart."
Chu Li chuckled.
Lu Yurong scoffed. "Head Chief Chu, you better not have any wishful thinking."
Chu Li smiled. "Alright, I'll try to persuade Xu An."
"That's good." Lu Yurong stared at him deeply as if she wanted to see if he was speaking the truth. Unfortunately, Chu Li had a faint smile on his face. There was no abnormality or flaw at all. She could not see through him.
She scoffed and fluttered away.
Not long after she left, Xiao Qi returned. She wrinkled her nose and glared at him.
Chu Li sighed helplessly.
Lu Yurong had a faint fragrance on her body. She had been gone for a while. Normal people would not be able to smell it, but Xiao Qi could.
"When are you bringing Xu An back?" She glared at him and sat opposite him.
Chu Li said, "He has my protective jade talisman with him. If there's any danger, he can just crush it. Since he wants to train his heart, let him train himself first."
"You're not bringing him back now?" Xiao Qi was surprised.
Chu Li shook his head.
Xiao Qi said, "Looks like Lu Yurong convinced you."
Chu Li said, "She did talk about Xu An, but she didn't take him seriously, so you don't have to worry about him for now. However, there's something else that we have to be wary of."
He used the Heaven Peering Skill to see the two women being assassinated, so he did not allow them to leave the residence for a month. However, the Heaven Peering Skill could not reveal the identity of the assassin, so he did not know where the danger came from. Now that Lu Yurong mentioned it, he finally knew the identity of the assassin. It was a disciple of the Sword Moon Sect.
When he told her about the assassin, Xiao Qi frowned. "The Fu Dynasty's Sword Moon Sect?!"
Her beautiful face turned solemn.
Although Chu Li was not at a disadvantage when he encountered a master from the Fu Dynasty, the entire Ji Dynasty was in awe of the Fu Dynasty. The Sword Moon Sect was even scarier than the Tempest Temple, so they had to be careful.
Although she was successful in cultivating the Regal Sword Scripture, she was not confident that she could win against a disciple of the Sword Moon Sect. Even if she won, it would be troublesome. She could not just let him go and wait for him to come again.
If she crippled his martial arts, she would offend the Sword Moon Sect. The Tempest Temple would have to worry about the High Duke's Public House because of the imperial court, but the Sword Moon Sect would not care. It would bring disaster to the High Duke's Public House.
When she thought of this, she could not help but feel anxious.
Chu Li smiled. "As long as he doesn't leave the residence, it won't be a problem."
"He'll definitely rush into the residence," Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li said, "If you work together with Senior Shen and the Protector, you should be able to protect yourself. Besides, I'm here."
Xiao Qi's eyebrows did not relax. "You can't kill him."
"I understand." Chu Li smiled. "We can't afford to offend the Sword Moon Sect!"
Xiao Qi nodded slowly. "Although it's unfair, it's the reality. The Sword Moon Sect is one of the eight major sects in the Fu Dynasty. If we become enemies with them, we'll implicate the High Duke's Public House."
"Just defeat him, you don't have to kill him," Chu Li said.
