Chu Li said, "Then I wish that Your Majesty's wishes come true."
The three came to the back garden.
Zhao Yancheng sat at a jade table. Gu Yuanhe waved for a maid to serve tea and stood beside Zhao Yancheng. Chu Li sat opposite Zhao Yancheng and pressed the jade table. It was warm and smooth.
In terms of enjoyment, the people of this world were far better than the previous worlds. He had never seen such a luxurious palace.
"Dingru, if you stay by my side, I have a condition," Zhao Yancheng said.
Chu Li smiled. "Your Majesty, I don't want to stay in the palace."
"Hmm —?" Zhao Yancheng raised an eyebrow.
He then frowned and said in a low voice, "Dingru, you don't want to stay by my side?"
Chu Li shook his head. "Your Majesty, once national affairs involve me, then I will be the target of public criticism. I will immediately become a demon monk who brings disaster to the country and the people. I will become the enemy of the world!"
"Hmph, who cares what they say!" Zhao Yancheng said.
Of course, he knew that once a monk participated in national affairs, there would be opposition. The imperial court had always tried to avoid interference from sects. Otherwise, the world would be in chaos and there would be endless troubles.
But after seeing Chu Li's divine power, he was shocked and made up his mind to be used by him.
Even with some pressure, he had to keep Chu Li by his side. At least in the future, he would not be afraid of assassins and he would not have to worry about dying of illness. His heart would be much more stable. His state of mind would naturally relax and he would be more open-minded in his actions. There would be endless benefits.
Chu Li smiled. "I still want to preach more and promote the dharma."
"Dingru, I mean what I say," Zhao Yancheng scoffed. "If you miss this opportunity, I won't agree even if you want to come."
Chu Li pressed his palms together and smiled. "Your Majesty misunderstood. It is very good for me in the Imperial Residence of King Jing. It is quiet and I can promote the dharma. I can also accumulate merit. It is killing many birds with one stone. Why should I come to the palace and be restricted?"
"… Alright," Zhao Yancheng said. "Since you think so, I will not force you. Return to the Imperial Residence of King Jing."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Li smiled.
Zhao Yancheng scoffed. "I hope you don't regret it!"
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. Alright, I will take my leave."
He stood up, pressed his palms together, and walked out.
Zhao Yancheng watched as his figure gradually disappeared into the distance.
Gu Yuanhe waited until he was out of sight before hurriedly saying, "Your Majesty …?"
"Forget it, if he wants to leave, then leave!" Zhao Yancheng snorted. "Do you think I still need him?"
Gu Yuanhe shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, he is our savior. If it wasn't for Ding Ru Divine Monk, I would have gone with Your Majesty to see our ancestors!"
Zhao Yancheng said: "Then in a while, just prepare some rewards for him and send them to Jing wang fu!"
"Yes," Gu Yuanhe hurriedly responded, "but how can His Majesty be at ease if he doesn't keep the Divine Monk Ding Ru by his side?"
"I wanted to make him stay, but he just had to leave. This one isn't that kind of unreasonable and domineering person. I will help him achieve his goal!" Zhao Yancheng said with a snort.
Gu Yuanhe smiled.
As an emperor, it would be a joke if he wasn't rude and overbearing.
Zhao Yancheng said, "Go and tell Deng Yue to quickly destroy that Heaven Mending Tower. Don't embarrass us!"
"Yes, I'll get it done right away." Gu Yuanhe said, "As for the rewards from the Divine Monk … Do you want to take some Buddhist scriptures from the Forbidden Storage? Or some other rare treasures? "
"There seems to be a senior monk's sarira in the Forbidden Storage. Give it to him. He will definitely be grateful," Zhao Yancheng said.
"Your Majesty is wise." Gu Yuanhe bowed and left the back garden. At this time, the palace maids had already served tea. Zhao Yancheng took a sip and spat it out. He glared at the palace maids.
The twelve palace maids were shocked and did not dare to make a sound.
"Get lost!" Zhao Yancheng snorted.
The twelve palace maids quickly bowed and retreated. They carefully left his courtyard and patted their chests. They had just calmed down.

Chu Li returned to the Jing wang fu. Zhao Zhenghe, who heard the news, hurriedly came out to welcome him. He was full of smiles, "Master, you're finally back!"
Chu Li smiled, "It's uncomfortable to stay in the palace. It's better to stay in the imperial residence."
"Of course!" Zhao Zhenghe said happily, "You can treat the imperial residence as your own home. Just do as you please. If there's anything, just tell them. It's absolutely free."
The two of them returned to Chu Li's courtyard.
The courtyard was spotless. It was obvious that it was constantly cleaned. Zhao Zhenghe smiled, "Master, is everything going well on father's side?"
