Chu Li nodded thoughtfully. "He must have a powerful background if he's so mysterious. I don't think he's someone newly recruited by the Crown Prince."
"I think we should ask Lady Lu." Xiao Qi smiled faintly.
Chu Li smiled and pulled her into his arms. He laid on the bed and sighed. "This Commander Meng is a newbie. Is he trying to burn our heads?"
"Yes." Xiao Qi nodded. "Two days ago, he brought the secret guardians to search King An's Imperial Residence. He said it was to wipe out the disciples of the Holy Church of Light."
Chu Li's expression changed.
Xiao Qi glanced at him and said, "I heard that you're friends with the Saint of the Holy Church of Light. That's why we had to be careful. He turned the Imperial Residence upside down and almost angered Second Eldest Sister."
Chu Li's expression darkened. "Looks like he's using me to establish his authority!"
He was now famous. Whether it was within the Ji Dynasty or the entire world, he was a well-known figure. Commander Meng's decision to make an example of him as soon as he was promoted showed his strength and determination.
It even carried a hint of provocation. It seemed like he had something to rely on. That was why he did not dare to fight him.
Xiao Qi frowned. "Of course, but you know not to be impulsive. Maybe he predicted that you would come to him and gave you another surprise."
Although Chu Li was strong, he was not invincible. Even if he was invincible, he still had to be careful of conspiracies. It was easy to dodge a spear in the open but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark. Even the most powerful master could fail miserably.
Chu Li slowly nodded. "Yes, I have to find out. I really have to look for Lu Yurong."
"Mm." Xiao Qi nodded. "I'm not being sarcastic this time. It's best to ask Lu Yurong."
Chu Li smiled. "This Meng Xiaoqi, I'm really curious about what he's capable of. What's his background!"
He was not in a hurry to take revenge. He wanted to find out more about his background first. A little more time was not a problem.
The older one was, the more timid they would be. He was not arrogant enough to push through all obstacles. As his martial arts became stronger, he became more cautious.
"Go." Xiao Qi smiled and pushed him.
Chu Li said, "A little more time is fine. Let's talk."
"A little more time is fine too." Xiao Qi said, "It's better to ask him as soon as possible. I've been feeling uneasy, and I haven't seen Second Eldest Sister holding her breath. She's just worried that you'll be impulsive, so she didn't say anything."
She knew Chu Li well. Although he was young, he was cautious and steady. He would not act recklessly and impulsively just because he was angered. Instead, he would be even more cautious.
Chu Li got up, put on his clothes and left. He appeared in a delicate and elegant courtyard in the Ren Public House.
It was already noon. Lu Yurong was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, eating alone. She seemed to be deep in thought. Suddenly, she felt Chu Li's presence and looked up.
Chu Li gave a fist salute.
Lu Yurong shook her head and smiled. "You don't visit me for no reason."
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "Yes."
"Are you here to inquire about Meng Xiaoqi?" Lu Yurong was dressed in a snow-white gown. Her skin was like jade, and her whole body was surrounded by a faint aura of immortality. Even when she was eating, she still looked like a fairy who did not eat the food of the mortal world.
Chu Li sat opposite her.
Lu Yurong raised her voice, "Xiao Yu."
"Yes, Miss." A delicate and pretty maid fluttered over and offered a bowl and chopsticks.
Then, another maid brought a jade cup and a jade pot.
Lu Yurong personally poured a cup of wine for him. She shook her head and sighed. "This Meng Xiaoqi, I am also very curious about who he is."
Chu Li smiled. "Don't tell me he jumped out from a crack in the rock?"
"It does look like it came out from a crack in a rock." Lu Yurong nodded lightly. "When I was in the Crown Prince's Residence, there was no such person. Based on my investigation, this person also appeared out of thin air."
Chu Li said, "If that's the case, how could he gain the trust of the Crown Prince and the Emperor to take over the Secret Guardians Hall?"
"Exactly." Lu Yurong nodded. "Unfortunately, I can't go to the Crown Prince's Residence to personally meet this person. But this person is very mysterious, and his methods are ruthless. His martial arts is very high. He is not easy to deal with."
Chu Li frowned. "Is he hostile towards me, or is he using me to establish his authority? If he wants to use me to establish his authority, his ambition is not small. "
"Looks like he's using you to establish his authority." Lu Yurong said. "If he is hostile, he would not just search the Imperial Residence and do nothing else."
Chu Li slowly nodded.
Lu Yurong clapped her hands.
The maid called Xiao Yu left gracefully. After a while, she came back with a stack of files. She placed them on the stone table, taking up most of the table.
Lu Yurong pointed at the files.
Chu Li picked one up and flipped through it. It was all the information about Meng Xiaoqi. Who he talked to, what he said, his daily routine, and a clear portrait.
Chu Li looked at the portrait.
The portrait was of a young man. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His nose was like a hanging gall. His lips were thin, and there was a hint of gloominess in his handsome face. One look and you could tell that he was not an easy person to deal with.
Chu Li sighed. "He's so young. Could he be of royal blood?"
"It's highly possible." Lu Yurong nodded. "I think so too. But there's no way to verify it. If he's from the royal family, he must be very secretive. Outsiders won't be able to find out."
Chu Li nodded. "What level is his cultivation level?"
"I'm afraid he might not be weaker than me." Lu Yurong frowned.
She could not understand it. It was a coincidence that she managed to cultivate to this level. It was a miracle that was hard to replicate. It seemed like she was luckier than Chu Li, but there was another young man who was just as lucky.
Chu Li said, "I'd like to meet him."
"Most people don't know about your cultivation level." Lu Yurong smiled. "Except for a few Enlightened Masters. The Enlightened Masters today are stronger than before, so they might not be afraid of you anymore."
Chu Li nodded.
This was also the source of Meng Xiaoqi's stubbornness. Leng Wufeng must have tacitly agreed to it. He felt that he had Meng Xiaoqi in his grasp, so he no longer had any scruples. If Leng Wufeng did not want to offend him, Meng Xiaoqi would not use him to establish his dominance.
Lu Yurong said, "How about this? I'll test his strength first. He won't dare to do anything to me."
Chu Li shook his head and laughed. "Forget it, I'll do it myself."
"It's time to give the Emperor a warning. He'll become arrogant once he's proud. The Leng family is like that. He can't be too proud or he'll become a different person. "Lu Yurong scoffed.
It was the same for the Crown Prince and the Emperor. Like father, like son.
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "That might not be the case. He might teach me a lesson first."
After drinking two cups of wine, he suddenly disappeared and reappeared in a restaurant in Fairy's Capital.
The Omniscient Mirror spread out and appeared in the Secret Guardians Hall. He saw a young man sitting in the basilica. It was the new commander, Meng Xiaoqi.
He was thin and tall. Although he was slightly short, he gave off a strong sense of vigor.
He seemed to have sensed something and suddenly looked in Chu Li's direction. It was as if he was looking at Chu Li through the Omniscient Mirror.
Chu Li was startled. He squinted his eyes. Something was wrong!
