Siao Shi glanced at Chu Li, "They didn't fight?"
Chu Li shook his head, "Saving people is more important."
Siao Shi asked, "Who are they?"
Chu Li frowned and sighed, "There's something wrong with these people's background. We need to investigate carefully … Commander Zheng, tell His Royal Highness to immediately go to the third house at Spring Well Alley … It's best to seal off the entire alley, it's a den of human traffickers."
"Alright." Zheng Lide hurriedly agreed.
Chu Li waved his hand to signal him to stop, "Tell His Royal Highness, there are two Grandmasters inside."
"Yes." Zheng Lide's face turned serious.
Once it involved Grandmasters, it was not a small matter. This matter might not be that simple.
Chu Li waved his hand to signal him to leave.
As the Head Chief, he was getting more and more imposing. The people around him unconsciously obeyed him, not because of his empty position. Everything he said was strictly obeyed. Firstly, they were afraid of his ruthlessness and strong martial arts. Secondly, they respected his loyalty, tirelessly taking care of Princess Siao personally.
The little boy rolled on the ground crying. His hoarse cries moved the listeners and they could not help but sympathize with him.
Song Liuying looked at him coldly, without a hint of weakness.
As the little boy cried, he glanced around. Seeing that everyone was staring at him with interest, there was no sympathy, and no intention to help plead for him. He could only stop crying and crawl up.
Song Liuying regretted spoiling him too much in the past. Because he was the only child of the Song family, she was afraid that he would break or something would happen to him. He was so pampered that he would do whatever he said and do whatever he wanted.
As a result, he developed a willful temper. Whatever he wanted to do, no one could stop him.
Song Liuying stared at him coldly, "You know there are human traffickers outside and you still dare to play outside. If it wasn't for the Head Chief saving you, you wouldn't be able to see your aunt again!"
"Aunt, I have Protectors, I can beat them off." The little boy hugged Song Liuying's thigh and shook it, "Who would have thought that Li Chuan and Li Shui were so useless. I almost died! "
"Are you scared now?" Song Liuying scoffed.
The little boy quickly nodded and looked up at her to please her.

Zheng Lide rushed into the courtyard and stopped in front of the study room. He whispered, "Your Highness."
"What is it?" Prince An's deep voice came from the study room.
Zheng Lide said, "Princess Song's nephew was rescued by the Head Chief!"
"Rescued?" Prince An pushed open the window with a "bang". Revealing a gloomy face, he asked, "When?"
"I just saved him," Zheng Lide said.
"Come in and talk!" King An scoffed.
Zheng Lide complained in his heart. It seemed that this news was not to His Highness's liking. He had to be careful!
He cautiously came to the study, bowed, and stood motionless.
Prince An paced with his hands behind his back. "What's going on?"
"I'm not too sure either. I only know that Princess Song's family came to report that the Song Family's Young Master had been kidnapped. When Princess Song was anxious, the Head Chief saved the Young Master," Zheng Lide said.
"How did Chu Li do it?" King An asked coldly.
He was extremely angry. As a Prince, he couldn't do it, but Chu Li did it. Moreover, he helped his Princess. As a man, he really couldn't raise his head. It was extremely embarrassing!
Zheng Lide shook his head and said, "The Head Chief only called me over and told me to be on guard. He had to go out for a while and would return in ten minutes with the Song Family's Young Master. As for the rest, the Princess should know. At that time, there were only three Princesses in the courtyard."
King An turned to look at Xu Ning who was looking down, "Revered Sir, what do you think?"
"I heard from my brother that Almsgiver Chu had been in our temple for a period of time. He had cultivated the All-Seeing Divine Power, "Xu Ning's expression was calm, he was not in a hurry," Almsgiver Chu must have used the All-Seeing Divine Power. "
"Is there anyone else in your temple who has cultivated the All-Seeing Divine Power?" King An asked.
Xu Ning shook his head, "This divine power is extremely difficult to cultivate and has very little use. In the temple, only Master Kong Hai managed to cultivate it. Now, there's only Almsgiver Chu. "
"As expected of the Titanium Temple!" King An sneered, "Chu Li is really amazing. He actually entered the Titanium Temple and cultivated the divine power! … Alright, since he was saved, that's good. Did he say where he saved him? "
"The Head Chief said. At the third house in the Spring Well Alley. It's best to surround the entire Spring Well Alley, there are two Grandmasters inside, "Zheng Lide said hurriedly.
"… Very good, bring these eight masters with you and follow me to capture him!" King An said in a low voice, he showed a hint of joy.
The Fairy's Capital's magistrate had been humiliated by this matter for a while. He was scolded by the chancellors and could not lift his head. Even though he was a prince, he was still scolded a lot. He could not escape the word 'useless'.
Now that there was such a good opportunity, as long as he raided this thief's lair, his contribution would be enough to attract the attention of the imperial court. He would receive the chancellors' gratitude and praise!
Thinking of this, his spirit was lifted and he strode out.
Four hours later, when King An returned to the Imperial Residence, he was beaming with joy and his steps were light. It was as if he had suddenly become ten years younger.
When Chu Li rescued the Song family's young master, he did not alert the people inside. It was done quietly, so the people inside did not notice. King An brought his men like the Heavenly Army and captured everyone in one fell swoop. Not a single one escaped.
In this alley, they found more than twenty children. They were all the sons of the chancellors who were abducted a while ago.
Saving these children was equivalent to saving these twenty chancellors. Needless to say, these chancellors would be deeply grateful. In the future, they would become his people and he would be able to get help at crucial times. Such a harvest was shocking. It was far better than all these years of painstaking efforts!
He suddenly felt a sense of gratitude towards Chu Li, but it was quickly shrouded by hatred.
This Chu Li was useful to him, but he was more harmful. No matter how he looked at it, he was too capable. If he went against him, there would be endless trouble. It was better to get rid of him as soon as possible.
The Hunting Ceremony was the best opportunity. Six Grandmasters surrounded him, and with Qiu Er as a hostage, Chu Li would not be able to escape. He would definitely be killed, and he would not even know who killed him!
Thinking of this, King An's mood became better. He returned to the study room and chuckled.
Xu Ning stood quietly at the side and did not say a word. He saw through his thoughts but did not comment.

In the evening, Song Menglin personally came to visit. She brought along the naughty and willful little boy and made him kowtow to Chu Li to thank him for saving his life.
Chu Li smiled as he declined. It was nothing.
Song Menglin did not say too many words of gratitude. She only closed fist saluted and left.
After Princess Song and Princess Xue left, the courtyard became quiet.
Chu Li and Siao Shi bathed in the sunset and chatted lazily.
"You saved Princess Xue's daughter and Princess Song's nephew. You're benefiting from both sides." Siao Shi smiled faintly.
Chu Li smiled, "It's a coincidence."
Siao Shi scoffed and rolled her eyes at him, "Then why did you give credit to King An?! … Raiding the human traffickers' lair is a huge contribution. Now it's his turn to be proud! "
Chu Li smiled, "My Lady, take a guess."
"What's there to guess!" Siao Shi said snappily, "You must be out of your mind!"
