Chu Li bandaged his wound and returned to Siao Shi's courtyard to keep watch.
Xue followed him and brewed a cup of tea for him. She smiled, "Master, you should go back and rest today. There won't be any more assassins, right?"
Chu Li smiled, "That might not be the case."
"The assassins just arrived. The Public House is at its most tense. Security is tight. Why would anyone come?" Xue shook her head and smiled, "There won't be such a stupid assassin!"
"Young lady, that's interesting. I'm that stupid!" A light laugh rang. The voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of crispness. It was strange and moving.
Xue's expression changed immediately. She looked around.
A white shadow floated into the courtyard like a snow-white feather. After she landed, she took a step forward lightly. It was as if the ground had shrunk to an inch. She crossed ten meters and stood in front of Chu Li.
A white robe covered her graceful figure. A white veil covered her face. Only a pair of clear eyes could be seen. Her eyes were like the autumn waters. It was captivating.
"What are you doing, Lady Lu?" Chu Li put down his teacup and looked at her quietly.
Lu Yurong said, "I like to join in the fun. Two groups of assassins came to kill Second Lady Siao. Is she that hateful? Oh, it's all because of the first beauty of the Great Ji Dynasty, right? To be able to kill the first beauty of the Great Ji Dynasty, you'll be famous! "
Chu Li said, "Lady Lu also wants to kill Second Lady Siao Shi?"
"What do you think?" Lu Yurong's eyes were cold. She scoffed, "Our Public Houses are enemies. Of course, I want to kill her!"
Chu Li shook his head, "Lady Lu, why are you here?"
"To kill Second Lady Siao Shi." Lu Yurong said, "Killing her is a good thing."
She did not wait for Chu Li to reply. She flew into the bedroom.
Chu Li appeared in front of her in a flash. He pressed his palm forward. The palm energy was turbulent.
"I've wanted to fight with you for a long time!" Lu Yurong scoffed, "Let's see what you're capable of!"
Lu Yu Rong had always wanted to find out the truth about Chu Li, but because Chu Li's Light-body Technique was too strong and slippery, it was hard for her to really fight him. This time, he had to protect Siao Shi, so he could fight to his heart's content. She wasn't afraid that he would run away.
"Bam, bam, bam, bam …" Lu Yurong's snow-white and flawless hands, which looked like they were carved out of white jade, struck out lightly, as if she was dancing, graceful and moving.
However, the palm force he sent out was as turbulent as the waves. Their white robes fluttered as they collided with Chu Li's palm energy.
Xue Ling stepped back involuntarily, as if she was being pushed by a huge wave.
As Chu Li waved his palm, he was shocked.
Lu Yurong's palm strength was strange and vigorous. If not for the Life and Death Scripture, He was definitely not a match for him.
The inner energy of the Empyrean Fairy Technique was extremely pure. It was completely different from ordinary inner energy, as if it was a completely different power that could not be assimilated.
Fortunately, he had the Heavenly Demonic Energy, which could not be dispelled by inner energy. The Heavenly Demonic Energy leaped out and swallowed the inner energy of the Empyrean Fairy Power in one gulp, strengthening itself.
As the two of them fought, the inner force of the Empyrean Fairy Power kept surging in, and the Heavenly Demonic Qi kept growing.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …" The sound of their palms colliding was getting louder and louder. Like the beating of a military drum, half of the Prince's Mansion could hear it.
When Zheng Lide and Meng Zhi heard the sound, they quickly ran over and saw the two of them fighting in the field.
"Lu Yurong?!" Zheng Lide's eyes widened as he shouted.
Lu Yurong ignored him and started to fight.
She had always relied on the Empyrean Fairy Power to win. Even if her cultivation level was not as high, she still had the upper hand because of the Empyrean Fairy Power. Moreover, her cultivation level was so high that it was better than those Grandmasters who were almost a hundred years old.
However, she did not expect that she could not defeat Chu Li.
Chu Li's palm energy was pure. His inner energy seemed to be endless. What made her even angrier was that he was not afraid of the inner energy of the Empyrean Fairy Power. After fighting for almost fifty palms, his inner energy did not seem to slow down at all.
"Chu Li, you do have some skills," Lu Yurong sneered, "Let's stop here for today. I'll spar with you another day!"
"Where are you going!" Zheng Lide shouted in a deep voice, "Lu Yurong, this is not the Ren Public House. You can't just come and go as you please!"
After he said that, he swung his fist and rushed forward.
Meng Zhi did not say a word and rushed forward.
Lu Yurong spun lightly. A white shadow flashed and appeared behind the two of them. Her jade-like hands lightly patted. The two of them were hit in the back and flew into the air with blood spurting out.
Prince An appeared like a wisp of smoke and caught the two of them in the air. He slowly put them down and went to Lu Yurong, "Lu Yurong, how dare you!"
Lu Yurong faintly glanced at him. Her eyes were as cold as ice. She sneered, "Your Highness, you talk big. Why, has Your Highness's injury recovered?"
Prince An's face darkened and scoffed, "It's just a small injury, it's not worth mentioning!"
"Stubborn! If you want to recover, come and beg me! " Lu Yurong lightly floated up and laughed in the air, "Chu Li, we'll talk about this later. I'll take my leave now!"
Chu Li scoffed.
Prince An's gloomy gaze looked over.
Chu Li closed fist saluted, "Your Highness should know what kind of person Lu Yurong is."
Prince An retracted his gaze.
He naturally understood Lu Yurong's cunning. Lu Yurong's words obviously meant that she had bad intentions. She wanted to use him to get rid of Chu Li.
"You guys go!" Prince An waved his hand and signaled Zheng Lide and Meng Zhi to leave. The two Grandmasters who stood at the entrance of the courtyard also left.
Only Chu Li and Prince An were left in the courtyard. Xue Ling also returned to the house.
Chu Li said, "Your Highness, do you have any orders?"
"It's about your position." Prince An muttered, "You're a rank one. You can't always be without a position."
Chu Li smiled, "I wonder what position Your Highness is going to give me?"
"I want to set up a new position in the Imperial Residence." Prince An said, "The internal and external affairs of the General Residence."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows, "The Chief of the Internal Residence and the Chief of the External Residence. They each have their own duties. What's the use of the Head Chief?"
"The Chief of the two Residences has too much power." Prince An shook his head, "In recent years, I realized that they are not very obedient. I can't spare any energy to keep an eye on them. This Head Chief is in charge of the Chief of the two Residences."
Chu Li said, "Don't tell me I'm the first Head Chief?"
Prince An said faintly, "As a rank one, you're the most suitable for this position. Moreover, the matters of the two Residences are too trivial. You'll always be watching over the Princess. You won't be able to be distracted. This position is the best."
Chu Li smiled and nodded, "Since it's your good intention, Your Highness, I'll do as you say!"
Prince An said, "As the Head Chief, you'll be directly responsible to me. If the Chief of the two Residences has any problems, you can report directly to me. I'll personally handle it!"
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
In the end, this Head Chief had no power at all. Even if he discovered that there was a problem with the Chief of the two Residences, he would have to report it to him. He had no right to ask whether or not they would handle it. It sounded nice, but it was just an empty position.
However, to be able to speak so much to him calmly, this Prince An was really shrewd.
Prince An stood up and said, "It's not peaceful these days. I'll have to trouble you here with the Princess."
"Your Highness, you're too kind." Chu Li closed fist saluted, "This is my duty."
Prince An waved his hand and left.
Xue Ling came out of the house. Her face was tense. She scoffed, "Head Chief?"
