Chu Li took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
He had never expected this to happen. He thought his position was high enough and he was the undisputed number one among the younger generation. He even killed Wei Wuwei and forced the Church of the Divine Blood to seal their mountain.
Even if the Emperor was angry and disliked him, he could not ignore his strength and agree to the Fu Dynasty's proposal. Otherwise, what would happen to him?
His betrothed woman was taken away and it was the Emperor himself who agreed to the Fu Dynasty's proposal. He was completely humiliated and could no longer stand in the Ji Dynasty. If he wanted to wash away this humiliation, he could only snatch his woman back.
This was no different from forcing him to fight the Fu Dynasty's imperial family.
No matter how powerful he was, he could not defeat the entire imperial family. He would definitely die.
Leng Wufeng was forcing him to his death!
He felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about this. His face darkened.
Xiao Shi said, "Do you know how many enemies you have now? Not only do all the factions want you dead, but so does the Emperor, the Crown Prince, and even Lu Yurong. She's so smart, how could she not have foreseen this? "
Chu Li remained silent.
Anger surged and boiled in his heart.
He wanted to rush into the Imperial House, drag Leng Wufeng out and beat him half to death, or even kill him.
"Calm down, don't do anything rash." Xiao Shi took a cup of tea and passed it to him. She walked into the gazebo and sat on an embroidered stool to take a sip. The faint aroma of tea lingered in the gazebo.
Chu Li savored the tea, experiencing the bitterness and sweetness. He calmed down and suppressed his anger.
It seemed like these people had seen through Goddess Attraction Mountain's weakness. They knew they did not care about worldly affairs and dared to treat him like this. Perhaps this was where the Enlightened Masters' confidence came from.
They knew that the Enlightened Masters would not intervene unless it involved life and death. The master of Goddess Attraction Mountain would not intervene. As for the future, another Enlightened Master would naturally take over. As long as it did not involve life and death, it was not a big deal.
Chu Li put down his teacup and muttered, "Looks like the Emperor is determined to sacrifice Lu Yurong."
"You and Lu Yurong will be sacrificed." Siao Shi shook her head and said, "After this incident, I'm afraid Lu Yurong can forget about being the Commander of the Secret Guardians Hall. The Emperor won't be at ease with her either. It's inevitable that she'll be resentful. We need to prevent her from retaliating."
Chu Li frowned. "Is the Emperor going to change the Crown Prince?"
"Maybe he thinks that the crown prince's position is stable and he doesn't need Lu Yurong anymore." Xiao Shi scoffed and said, "The most heartless people are the Imperial Family. None of them are good people. Lu Yurong is a woman after all. She's not suitable to be the Crown Prince's confidant. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, Lu Yurong's position will be awkward. It's better to get rid of her now."
Chu Li said, "Lu Yurong is from the House of High Duke. She is the most reliable. The Crown Prince should not give up on her."
"The Crown Prince didn't let go, but the Emperor forced him to give up. What else could he do?" Siao Shi pouted her red lips and said, "This Emperor of ours always thinks that women are unreliable and unworthy of great responsibility."
She often entered the palace and chatted with the Empress and the Empress Dowager. She was like a fish in the water in the back palace. She was well-informed and understood the Emperor better.
Siao Shi said, "You should be a coward for now. Cultivate well on the mountain. It won't be too late to settle the score with them when you become an Enlightened Master."
She felt that the best thing to do now was to play dumb. As long as Chu Li stayed on Goddess Attraction Mountain and said that he was in isolated cultivation, no one could say anything. As long as he endured through this period of time, Lu Yurong would be married and everything would be over.
Moreover, Chu Li and Lu Yurong were fake. She already knew from Xiao Qi's letter that there was no need to risk her life for a fake engagement.
Chu Li frowned and did not say anything, "Where's Lu Yurong?"
"She …?" Siao Shi shook her head and said, "I heard that she returned to the Ren Public House. There's no news of her."
Chu Li nodded.
Siao Shi saw his expression and quickly said, "Don't mess around!"
Chu Li said, "The engagement doesn't matter if it's real or fake. We can only treat it as real now."
If he announced it was a fake engagement, everyone would think that he was afraid of Tang Ye and backed out. Instead, they would believe that it was a real engagement. They would only feel ashamed of his hypocrisy and cowardice. His reputation would be ruined.
In this world, reputation was extremely important. It had a formless and fatal power. He could not let his reputation be ruined.
Siao Shi frowned and slowly nodded.
She knew this too. Now that it had come to this, she could only treat it as real.
Chu Li gritted his teeth and sneered, "If that's the case, then we might as well get married. Is the Emperor going to send someone to stop us from getting married? I'd like to see if the Emperor still has the cheek to do so! "
"You're really daring. Will Lu Yurong agree?" Siao Shi smiled.
Chu Li said, "She's forced to a dead end now. It's not like she won't dare."
Based on his understanding, Lu Yurong will agree. She also has the courage to fight back.
Also, as a lady of the High Duke's Public House, as long as she doesn't rebel, the Emperor can't do anything to her. Otherwise, she might not agree! "
Chu Li slowly said, "Let's see her first."
Siao Shi quickly said, "Let's go now!"
