The Ren Public House's backyard was brightly lit as if it was daytime. A faint fragrance wafted in the air, accompanied by the sound of a guzheng.
Chu Li and Siao Shi suddenly appeared but no one noticed.
The sound of the guzheng was calm and peaceful without a trace of metal. The person playing the guzheng was Lu Yurong.
Chu Li coughed softly and broke the silence.
The sound of the guzheng stopped abruptly. Lu Yurong was dressed in a white tunic. She turned around and smiled. "Head Chief Chu and Second Lady, it's an honor to have you here!"
Siao Shi frowned as she looked at her. "Aren't you angry at all?"
She slowly walked to the gazebo and sat opposite Lu Yurong. Both of their faces were as white as jade. One was extremely beautiful while the other was charming. The flowers in the garden seemed to have lost their color.
Chu Li sat between them.
Lu Yurong glanced at Chu Li and shook her head. "So what if I'm angry or not? How can I change the current situation? Second Lady came personally because of my engagement with Head Chief Chu, am I right? "
She knew that Siao Shi must be furious.
Siao Qi was cold and kind but Siao Shi was not as soft-hearted.
"Younger sister was the one who agreed to the engagement. I have nothing to say," Siao Shi said. "I'm talking about the current situation. Are you going to become a nun?"
"Yes." Lu Yurong nodded. "This is the only way. If not, Head Chief Chu will be dragged into this. I really didn't expect the Emperor to go this far!"
Chu Li nodded. "No one expected this. I thought he would be stubborn for once, but I didn't expect him to endure it. He's really good at enduring."
Enduring over and over again until he could no longer tolerate it. Leng Wufeng was really good at enduring. If it was him, he would not have been able to endure it to this extent. Of course, it was also because Leng Wufeng was cold and did not see others as humans.
Lu Yurong said, "I've decided to become a nun."
"The Emperor didn't agree," Siao Shi said.
Lu Yurong said, "Since I've decided to become a nun, how can he stop me?"
Siao Shi said, "Don't you think it's a pity that you lost your position as a commander? You worked so hard to get that position, but it's taken away just like that. There's no mercy at all. "
Lu Yurong smiled lightly, "I knew this day would come."
Chu Li saw that she had received the news from the Imperial House, but she was still so calm. It was rare that she did not have any anger in her heart.
"What are you going to do then?" Chu Li looked at her calmly. "Are you really going to become a monk?"
"Yes." Lu Yurong nodded. "This is the best way. There is no other way."
"There is." Xiao Shi scoffed. "You can marry Chu Li."
Lu Yu Rong was stunned, and then laughed, "How is that possible! Moreover, once they get married, things will get out of hand. In the end, the small arms won't be able to resist the big legs. "
Siao Shi sneered, "Why can't I win? If you want to get married, could it be that His Majesty has decreed that you can't get married? There's no such logic in this world. I've decided to send out invitations and invite all the people from the Twelve Public Houses to come and have a look! "
Lu Yu Rong's expression changed. She quickly shook her head, "You can't do that!"
Once the Twelve Public Houses gathered and agreed to change the Emperor, they had the right to do so. This was a rule set by the great ancestor. It was a special position given to the Twelve Public Houses. Once the Emperor was angered by the people and harmed the country, the Twelve Public Houses could replace the Emperor and choose the best from the Leng Family.
The Twelve Public Houses had never used this power. Fortunately, even if the Leng Family's Emperors were not wise and powerful, they were still able to maintain the status quo. They did not make any big mistakes, and there were no cruel people.
There were conflicts between the Twelve Public Houses. This was also the doing of the Imperial House. Once they were united, they would not be able to sit still. This time, if the Twelve Public Houses gathered, it would be too much of a mess.
Siao Shi said impatiently, "Lu Yu Rong, you seem to be a bold person. Why are you being so wishy-washy?"
Lu Yu Rong shook her head, "It's not the same thing. This matter is of great importance. It can shake the country. We must not act recklessly. I'll hide in the mountains. Even if the Emperor has a decree, he can't do anything to me."
Siao Shi scoffed, "It's fine with you. What about Chu Li?"
Chu Li waved his hand, "Miss Lu, if you want to back out and not make a big deal out of it, there is a place where you can hide."
"Where?" Lu Yu Rong asked.
"Goddess Attraction Mountain," Chu Li said, "I've already asked. The disciples' families can stay there."
Lu Yu Rong's eyes brightened, "That's a good place!"
"But, those who are not married can't be considered family," Chu Li said.
Lu Yu Rong frowned, "So they're married?"
Siao Shi scoffed, "Do you think the people of Goddess Attraction Mountain are stupid? If Chu Li is punished because of this, wouldn't it be a big loss for a small gain? It's fake anyway. It doesn't matter if they're engaged or married! "
Lu Yu Rong remained silent.
Siao Shi said, "This marriage must go through!"
She was extremely angry at the Emperor's actions. It was as if he had stepped on Chu Li's face. If he could not get married, Chu Li would become the biggest joke in the world. He would lose his dignity. How could he intimidate the heroes of the world?
Lu Yu Rong's thoughts turned and she understood the key point. She said slowly, "Alright, then get married. But don't make it grand. Don't invite everyone in the Public House!"
"Since he has already shed all pretense of cordiality, there's no need to be polite!" Siao Shi said snappily, "You're not as heroic as you used to be!"
Lu Yu Rong shook her head.
If it was as Siao Shi said, then they would really be like fire and water with the Emperor. There would be no way to turn things around. The two Public Houses would not have good days in the future. Chu Li would become a thorn in the Emperor's side. He might even kill him himself.
Although Chu Li was strong, he was not an Enlightened Master's opponent.
He still had a bright future. Once he established himself in Goddess Attraction Mountain and became an Enlightened Master in the future, who would dare to laugh at him?
Siao Shi's actions were too unyielding. There would be no end to the trouble.
She did not know that after Siao Shi heard about the Emperor's actions, she was furious. She had made up her mind to let Xu An fight for the throne. That was why her respect for the Emperor was gone.
Chu Li said, "Actually, there's another way to eliminate the trouble. Too bad I can't use it."
If he had Sun Mingyue's help, he could kill Tang Ye directly. Even the Fu Dynasty's Emperor would not be able to do anything to him. However, if he did that, the Public Houses would not be able to survive and might be destroyed.
No matter how weak the Fu Dynasty's imperial court was, it was not something a single faction could compare to. Their strength other than martial arts was unparalleled. The Public Houses could not compete with them.
"Tang Ye really can't be killed." Lu Yurong shook her head.
Siao Shi said hatefully, "That bastard!"
Chu Li said, "Wait until I become an Enlightened Master. It won't be too late to deal with him then."
Siao Shi rolled her eyes at him and said, "All the more reason you can't make a move when you become an Enlightened Master."
Chu Li smiled, "You can all make a move."
"That's true." Siao Shi smiled sweetly, "Alright, you should become an Enlightened Master as soon as possible."
Chu Li nodded slowly and looked at Lu Yurong.
Lu Yurong sighed, "Alright, let's get married. Why don't we do it within these few days."
They should get married as soon as possible to avoid any accidents. Even if the Emperor's decree came, they could just hide in Goddess Attraction Mountain and the Fu Dynasty would not be able to do anything to them.
