King An had just woken up, his eyes were bright.
Beside him were Princess Song and Princess Xue. Xu Ning was there too, but he was subconsciously ignored.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Meng Zhi was tanned and skinny, his face was covered in dust, as if he had traveled a long distance in one go.
Prince An said faintly, "Have you found the person?"
"I didn't let you down, Your Highness, I've found him!" Meng Zhi's spirits were lifted, he cupped his fists and said, "He's waiting outside!"
"Alright, let them in!" King An's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Meng Zhi cupped his fists and retreated.
Princess Song and Princess Xue looked at King An in surprise.
Prince An smiled faintly. "I've been enduring it all this while, and I've been doing it. Finally, I don't have to endure this anymore!"
"Who did the Royal Highness find?" Xue Ningyu asked.
"Top-notch masters," Prince An said excitedly, "With them in the residence, we won't have to be afraid of Ninth Brother's people anymore!"
"Is he really that powerful?" Xue Ningyu was skeptical.
She knew that such a master was not easy to find. There were only a few of them in the world, and they were as free as the clouds and wild cranes. It was impossible for them to be recruited by the palace.
Prince An smiled without saying a word.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" The three of them followed Meng Zhi into the study room and cupped their fists as they said in a deep voice.
Xue Ningyu looked at the three of them.
The three of them were all good-looking. Two of them were handsome, and one of them was heroic. Their gazes were sharp and threatening.
Prince An restrained his excitement and glanced at the three of them absentmindedly. He nodded slightly and said, "Liu Xing."
"Here!" A handsome young man stepped forward and solemnly cupped his fists. "Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Xiang Feixue," King An said.
Another handsome young man held a folding fan in his hand. He waved it twice before closing it. He smiled and cupped his fists. "Xiang Feixue greets Your Highness."
"Huo Yuhao." King An nodded slightly and looked at the last person.
Huo Yuhao's heroic aura was overbearing, and his expression was cold and arrogant. He only cupped his fists and didn't say anything.
"Very well, I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time. You're finally here!" King An calmly nodded. As if he was just being polite and didn't really care about them, he said lightly, "Take a rest tonight and report to Zheng Lide tomorrow. Join the ranks of the guards and listen to his orders! "
"Yes." The three of them cupped their fists.
Prince An said faintly, "Although Zheng Lide's martial arts is slightly inferior to yours, he is very experienced. He also knows the Imperial Residence and the Fairy's Capital like the back of his hand. You must not be arrogant. Ignore his words, otherwise, if you commit a grave mistake, this king can only shed tears and behead you, showing no mercy! … Don't blame me for not warning you! "
"Yes." The three of them solemnly cupped their fists.
Although King An looked sickly, his power was shocking. The three of them had profound cultivation levels, but if they really angered King An, it would not end well for them. Moreover, they had something to ask of King An.
King An waved his hand. He motioned for them to stand down.
Meng Zhi brought the three out of the study room and settled them down personally.
He knew how important wang ye was to these three people. On the surface, wang ye seemed to be neglecting them, but he couldn't really be neglectful.
"Royal Highness, can the three of them do it?" Xue Ningyu frowned and said, "They are all very young!"
Prince An said faintly, "They are all rare geniuses."
"Since Royal Highness trusts us, then we can breathe a sigh of relief. We won't have to worry about Prince Cheng causing trouble again!" Song Liuying nodded and said, "Royal Highness, but these three people don't look that easy to control."
"It's fine." Prince An smiled and said, "They yearn for glory and splendor. If I can give it to them, they will naturally listen to me."
"Alright …" the two ladies no longer doubted. But in their hearts, they were skeptical.
There were many people who could give them glory and splendor, even the princes could do it. Why must they be loyal to Prince An? No matter how they thought about it, the Head Chief was still the most reliable. Unfortunately, the Royal Highness refused to use him because of old grudges.

In the early morning, Chu Li brought Siao Shi back to Tianshu Courtyard.
After Siao Shi went back, she felt much more relaxed. She could go back anytime, so she didn't miss home that much.
Just as Chu Li left the house, Xue Ling followed him.
Chu Li looked at her. Xue Ling licked her rosy lips.
The two of them arrived at Chu Li's courtyard.
"Master, Prince An found three top-notch masters last night." Xue Ling said softly, "Liu Xing, Xiang Feixue, Huo Yuhao, they are all young geniuses."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows, "Have you met them?"
Xue Ling shook her head, "The three of them are used to deal with Prince Cheng, but I reckon that the first person to be dealt with is you, Master."
Chu Li nodded.
As expected, he found them. These three masters were recruited by Prince An after paying a huge price. He promised them many benefits and even used the secret antique study of the Imperial House as a price. It was all to deal with him.
Yesterday, Xu Ning wasn't around, so he saw what Prince An was thinking.
"Master, since Prince An is willing to find them, he must be confident." Xue Ling said softly, "Master, you must be careful of these three fellows!"
"Yes, I know." Chu Li smiled and nodded, "You're progressing well to be able to get this information!"
Xue Ling pursed her lips and smiled, "It's all thanks to you, Master."
Chu Li was now highly respected in the Imperial Residence. The Protectors, scribes and maids were all grateful to him. If there was any information that was unfavorable to him, it would be immediately sent over. She didn't have to spend too much effort to extend her feelers to every corner of the Imperial Residence.
As the two of them were talking, Chu Li frowned, "Someone is coming, let's go take a look."
The two of them returned to Tianshu Courtyard and Xue Ling entered the house.
Chu Li just sat by the stone table under the plum tree when Meng Zhi brought three people over.
Chu Li glanced at them. They were all unfamiliar faces. They should be the three young geniuses who just arrived.
"Greetings, Head Chief." Meng Zhi closed fist saluted and smiled.
Chu Li waved his hand, "I'm no longer the Head Chief. What orders does the Royal Highness have for me?"
"These three are the masters invited by the Royal Highness." Meng Zhi smiled and said, "The Royal Highness is worried about Princess Siao's safety, so he sent them over as Protectors to ensure that nothing happens to Princess Siao!"
Chu Li nodded and said faintly, "I thank the Royal Highness on behalf of the Princess. The Royal Highness is considerate. These three are …?"
"Liu Xing, Xiang Feixue, Huo Yuhao." Meng Zhi introduced them respectively, "They are all top-notch masters. Of course, they're still far from the Head Chief!"
Chu Li waved his hand, "I don't deserve such praise. It's just some peasant skills. These three young heroes are all so imposing. I admit that I'm not as good as them!"
"I heard that the Head Chief is a genius in martial arts. You're so young but your cultivation level is so high. I'm Liu Xing. I'd like to experience the Head Chief's martial arts!" The handsome Liu Xing stepped forward and closed fist saluted as he said coldly.
Chu Li smiled and looked at Meng Zhi, "This is the Royal Highness's intention, right? You don't trust these three young heroes and want to see their abilities first? "
"Hehe, of course the Royal Highness trusts these three young heroes. But I'm afraid that the Head Chief won't be able to be trusted," Meng Zhi said with a smile.
Chu Li glanced at the three of them. They were all restless and eager to try.
They knew that their target was Chu Li. As for the people from the Imperial Residence of King Cheng, it was secondary.
