"Royal Advisor Lu, can you make the decision?" Princess Anfu asked.
Although she wanted to save Lu Tianhai, she could not bring herself to like him. Although he was handsome and had a good temperament, she hated his temperament because she had seen many people like him.
In her eyes, these people were all the same. They were only driven by ambition and profit. They would not care about feelings. No matter how good their relationship was, they would still turn against you when it was time. They would not have the slightest scruples.
Talking about friendship with this kind of person was purely asking for a snub and a waste of energy.
Therefore, she spoke coldly.
"Hehe, of course I can make the decision," Lu Tianhai said.
Princess Anfu pouted. "You're just a royal advisor, not the emperor!"
"I can still say a few words in front of the emperor." Lu Tianhai smiled. "Besides, the emperor originally wanted to join forces with Yu the Great. Otherwise, he would not have sent the Eighteenth Prince. Unfortunately …"
He shook his head as he spoke.
He was still young and full of vigor. He learned a lot of skills and could not wait to show off. He was especially determined to gain Princess Anfu's favor and try to show off.
In the end, he backfired and returned with a body full of injuries.
While they were talking, Chu Li remained silent and secretly observed Lu Tianhai.
Lu Tianhai in front of him did not have any power to hide, so he could see what he was thinking. He was a person full of ambition and greed. At the same time, he was also a person with lofty aspirations.
What made him relieved was that Lu Tianhai's rare item was indeed obtained from the Ancient Ruins and not given to him by others.
Chu Li was vaguely worried about Miss Zhou's plot. It seemed that he was worried for nothing. Lu Tianhai and that Ning Wan were not Miss Zhou's people.
"Great master has supreme divine power and can bring the dead back to life." Lu Tianhai said respectfully to Chu Li, "I admire you and am extremely grateful!"
"It's just fate," Chu Li said.
He understood Lu Tianhai better. He knew that to Lu Tianhai, saving his life was nothing. He did not ask for Lu Tianhai's gratitude, but for a large amount of merit. This time, saving Lu Tianhai had given him a huge amount of merit.
Lu Tianhai smiled. "Great master is open-minded! … But if Great Kun and Yu the Great can join forces, we can suppress Great Ning. From then on, there will be peace and the world will be at peace! "
Chu Li nodded slowly.
This was also his plan. This Lu Tianhai was extremely intelligent, he had figured out his goal in an instant. To be able to become an Imperial Preceptor, it was not only because of his superb martial techniques, but also because of his intelligence.
"Master, shall we set off?" Princess An Fu said.
Chu Li nodded.
Princess Anfu looked at Lu Tianhai: "State Advisor Lu, please — —!"
Lu Tianhai whistled and his guards and sedan bearers emerged from the forest. They were all safe and sound and in high spirits.
Zhao Zhengli smiled, "The Imperial Preceptor's subordinates are well-trained."
To be able to know when to advance and retreat, and to be able to protect oneself flexibly was very rare for so many people.
"You flatter me, Your Highness." Lu Tianhai smiled nonchalantly.
The group turned around and walked back. Then, they found two fine horses. Princess Anfu wanted to give the horses to Chu Li, but Chu Li immediately took his leave and returned to Ruyi Temple.
It was quiet outside the Ruyi Temple. No one was there to disturb them.
After he hit Xia Zhongchu, Xia Zhongchu went to complain to the Emperor. Zhao Yancheng did not say a word and immediately chased Xia Zhongchu out of the palace. He was not allowed to enter the palace for a month so that Xia Zhongchu would be well-behaved.
When the nobles saw that the Emperor was serious, they kept quiet out of fear and did not dare to plead for leniency.
However, there were more and more memorials to impeach Chu Li in the imperial court. They were all left unpublished, causing everyone to feel helpless.
There was already a rumor that the demon monk was bringing disaster to the country in the entire capital.
At this time, if he were to participate in the imperial court's affairs, he would definitely attract more criticism. The public's emotions would be turbulent and he might really have to kneel outside the palace to submit a memorial. Then, his stay in the capital would be over.
If he wanted to have enough merit, he needed to get close to the central government, get close to the Emperor, and influence the overall situation. The more people involved, the more merit he would obtain. If he did not participate in national affairs and only did good deeds alone, he would never be able to ascend.
If he could not leave this world, he would not be able to find traces of Miss Zhou and it would be impossible to defeat her. The situation of the three women was worrying. These few days, he was a little anxious. If this went on, if he did not quickly accumulate merit, they might be harmed.
On the morning of the fourth day, Chu Li was cultivating in front of the basilica. The entire Ruyi Temple was unusually quiet. There were faint noises coming from outside and the streets were crowded.
"Creak …" The door of the Ruyi Temple was pushed open. Princess Anfu came in and gracefully came before Chu Li. She pressed her palms together and smiled. "Master, I'm back!"
Chu Li looked at her. "Was the journey smooth?"
"No one stopped me." Princess Anfu said. "This morning's morning assembly, Lu Tianhai will be promoted to Father."
Chu Li nodded.
Princess Anfu said, "Master, do you think this will work?"
"Yes." Chu Li nodded.
"I don't think this Lu Tianhai is a good person. It's not good to cooperate with him." Princess Anfu scoffed. "Be careful not to be bitten by him!"
Chu Li smiled.
"Master, you don't believe me?" Princess Anfu scoffed. "Am I wrong?"
"You're right. Lu Tianhai can't be trusted. This matter is of great importance, it's better to be careful." Chu Li nodded.
Princess Anfu said, "Unfortunately, no one listens to me. Master, your words are useful."
As she spoke, she took out an exquisite knife from her sleeve. It looked like it was carved out of ice. It was crystal clear and flawless.
"I got this from Lu Tianhai. He always wanted to get it back. He kept nagging me along the way, but I refused to give it to him." Princess Anfu said proudly. "I'll give it to you, Master."
Chu Li took it and slowly said, "The power of this knife is amazing."
"Unfortunately, I can't get the heart technique to activate it." Princess Anfu said regretfully. "He can't tell me, but it's better than leaving it in his hands. Master, you're resourceful. You might have a way."
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
He activated the Heavenly Knife heart technique and activated the knife.
"Clang …" With a soft hum, the small knife disappeared as if it was hidden in the void.
Princess Anfu looked around, looking for the knife.
Chu Li said, "Turn around."
Princess Anfu turned her head and found the knife at the back of her head. It was only a fist's distance away. It was suspended in the air as if it was alive. It stared at her and could pounce on her at any time. She was shocked.
"Master, it's this powerful?" Princess Anfu was overjoyed. She reached out to catch it.
However, the knife swung away like a fish and disappeared again.
Chu Li pondered for a moment. "This knife is too vicious. It's better to use it with caution. … It's better to use an ordinary flying knife."
As he spoke, he opened his hand. The knife was already in his palm and disappeared again.
Chu Li passed the Heavenly Knife heart technique to her.
Princess Anfu returned to the palace at noon and ran back to Ruyi Temple in the afternoon. She ran to Chu Li. "Master, it's decided. We'll join forces with Da Kun to deal with Da Ning."
Chu Li nodded slowly with a serious expression.
It was another fierce battle and a good opportunity to gain merit.
"Sixth Brother requested to fight. He's in charge of dispatching troops this time," Princess Anfu said.
Chu Li frowned.
