Gu Yuanhe smiled and said, "Master, this State Teacher of Da Kun is also an extraordinary person. He is the number one expert in Da Kun and is said to have divine martial arts techniques. The 18th Prince who came last time is his disciple."
Chu Li nodded. "The disciple is no match for the Master, so the Master personally intervenes. This doesn't seem like something a Royal Advisor would do."
Gu Yuanhe shook his head and smiled. "If it were someone else, they wouldn't have done that. However, this Imperial Tutor Da Kun is a straightforward person. He does whatever he wants and pays particular attention to letting nature take its course."
"So it's this kind of person. Interesting." Chu Li nodded.
He was also curious about what kind of person the Grand Teacher Da Kun was. After coming to this world, he had met many people, but those who truly impressed him were the ancient people. He had never met anyone from the present.
Gu Yuanhe smiled and said, "His Majesty is extremely reluctant, but there's no other way. None of us can deal with the Grand Preceptor of the Great Kun Empire, so we have to rely on you."
Chu Li said, "Actually, Princess Anfu is enough."
"Our statuses are not equal," Gu Yuanhe said helplessly. "If the princess really goes over, Da Kun will definitely turn hostile."
Chu Li smiled. "If he wants to challenge me, he'll have to get past the princess first. As for his identity, it still depends on his strength. If he's strong enough, then there's no need to mention it. If he's not strong enough, then what's the point of talking about identity?"
"This …" Gu Yuanhe felt helpless.
Naturally, he did not dare to threaten Chu Li with his words. He was just surprised.
Chu Li said, "The Bu Tian Tower still has some loose ends to clean up. It's better for me to stay in the capital."
"… Yes, I will report this to His Majesty." Gu Yuanhe's expression changed slightly.
He put his palms together and bowed. Then, he left the main hall and returned to the Xuan Yuan Hall.
Zhao Yancheng heard him say this and smiled, "This is exactly what I was thinking. It is indeed not suitable for Great Master to leave the capital. Even if there is no Heaven Mending Tower, there could be other assassins."
Gu Yuanhe said, "Yes."
He would never interfere in court affairs, and he would not say a word more.
However, Zhao Yancheng didn't let him off. "Gu Yuanhe, in your opinion, let An Fu deal with Da Kun's national teacher. Is it possible?"
Gu Yuanhe said, "Grandmaster must be confident."
He didn't want to get involved in court politics in order to avoid getting into trouble, but the Emperor's words couldn't be perfunctory, and he didn't dare to deceive the Emperor. He definitely couldn't escape the Emperor's shrewd eyes. He understood the Emperor, and the Emperor also understood him.
Zhao Yancheng gently nodded. "That's true … How about this, let the Crown Prince follow as well. That should be enough to give face to the Imperial Tutor, right?"
"Your Majesty is wise." Gu Yuanhe cupped his fists.
Zhao Yancheng said, "With An Fu around, there is no need to worry about the Crown Prince's safety."
"Yes," Gu Yuanhe said.

"Master, disciple is going on a long journey." Princess Anfu sat on the cattail hassock opposite Chu Li. She frowned and said, "I'm going to deal with that Grand Tutor Da Kun. Does Master have any instructions?"
"Protect the Crown Prince." Chu Li thought for a while. "I'll teach you a set of swordsmanship."
As he spoke, his left index finger gently pressed on the space between Princess Anfu's eyebrows.
Princess Anfu smiled and closed her eyes.
With a loud "boom," her eyes lit up. Then, she held a long sword in her hand and slowly waved it. Her murderous intent soared to the sky.
After a quarter of an hour, she slowly opened her eyes. The basilica was empty. Chu Li's figure was nowhere to be seen.
She lowered her head and saw that her clothes were wet. She was sweating like rain and her hair was stuck to her forehead.
After activating her inner energy, a mist immediately filled the air. After a while, it dissipated and became clean and tidy again. She shouted, "Master, disciple is going!"
Chu Li's voice lingered in her ears. "Go, be careful of an ambush."
"Yes," Princess Anfu replied and turned to leave the Ruyi Temple.
The next morning, two horses galloped out of the capital and headed south.
Princess Anfu was dressed in a tight outfit with an ancient colorful long sword hanging on her waist. She was dressed as a handsome man and exuded a heroic spirit.
The other horse was a handsome young man. He was the Crown Prince of Dayu, Zhao Zhengli. He was riding on the horse and looked around in high spirits.
"Sixth Brother, you finally came out to relax." Princess Anfu's delicate body rose and fell with the horse's back, harmonious and elegant. "If it wasn't for this errand, you'd be rusty!"
She sympathized with this Crown Prince brother. Ever since he became the Crown Prince, he needed to learn how to deal with state affairs. He stayed in the meeting hall all day and listened to the ministers discuss the world's major events.
He was so young but had to live like an old man. It was like a horse with a rein pulling a carriage. She felt uncomfortable.
Zheng Yuanli smiled. "Little sister, I'm not as free as you. It's hard to be the Crown Prince, but it's also fun."
"Hmph, what fun is there?" Princess Anfu curled her lips. "You can't decide everything. Father still has the final say. You still have to suffer in the middle, just like this time."
Zheng Yuanli smiled and shook his head. "They don't know Master's divine power. It's inevitable that they would think that way."
"If it wasn't for Master stopping me, I'd definitely teach them a lesson!" Princess Anfu said disdainfully. "They want to control who I worship as my Master. Aren't they stretching their hands too far?"
Zheng Yuanli smiled.
They had different standpoints. It was hard to say who was right and who was wrong.
Zheng Yuanli said, "Little sister, this Divine Monk is becoming more and more mysterious. He doesn't meet anyone. What's the matter?"
Princess Anfu smiled. "Master just likes peace and quiet. It's not like he's arrogant. His temperament is very good. He's gentle and gentle, like a spring breeze!"
Zheng Yuanli nodded. "If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely pay him a visit."
"I still have to ask Master for his opinion." Princess Anfu smiled.
She did not dare to make a rash decision.
Although Chu Li was gentle and gentle, he had a deep majesty. As his cultivation level increased, Princess Anfu could feel his strength more and more. He was like a towering mountain or a vast ocean.
This made her feel close to him but also respectful.
Zheng Yuanli whipped his horse and smiled. "Little sister, I'll leave everything to you. Go!"
Princess Anfu smiled and also whipped her horse to gallop.
Zheng Yuanli's body was abnormally strong. After all, he was a descendant of the royal family. He was well-dressed and ate a lot of treasures. He galloped for three days in one go. The horses under him were also extraordinary. They were not tired after a day of galloping. They rested for a night and continued galloping like the wind the next day.
On the evening of the third day, Princess Anfu and Zheng Yuanli were galloping on an official road. There were dense forests on both sides and mountains in the distance. They were about to enter a mountain road.
She suddenly frowned and raised her voice. "Sixth brother, stop!"
"Neigh …" The two horses stopped.
Princess Anfu jumped onto the treetop beside her. Her toes stepped on the soft treetop and moved with the wind.
Zheng Yuanli was speechless. This was beyond the scope of martial arts.
Princess Anfu gently jumped back onto the saddle.
"Little sister, what's wrong?" Zheng Yuanli asked hurriedly.
Princess Anfu said, "There's an ambush in front."
"Da Kun's people arrived first?" Zheng Yuanli asked with a frown.
They were still far from the border. However, Grand Preceptor Da Kun's people would not wait for them at the border. They would definitely rush forward. According to their route, they might encounter them in one or two days.
