Chu Li smiled, "Is Prince Feng going to seek justice for Leng Tao?"
Leng Feng looked at him calmly. "Even though you're a Rank-1, he's still the Imperial Crown Prince. You're disrespecting the Imperial Family by doing this!"
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "Crown Prince Feng, I dare not accept your words. No matter how arrogant I am, I would not dare to disrespect the Emperor. However, I really cannot respect Leng Tao. Crown Prince Feng, do you know that he actually hit Lady Qiu?"
"Hmm —?" Leng Feng frowned and looked at Leng Qiu.
Leng Qiu puffed out her chest and scoffed. "He slapped me during the Hunting Ceremony last month. The Head Chief taught him a lesson on my behalf. Brother Feng, are you going to stand up for that bastard?"
Leng Feng snorted and said, "He shouldn't have hit people, but no matter what, he's still an imperial heir!"
Chu Li furrowed his brows and said, "Imperial Crown Prince Feng, according to what you're saying, ordinary people can be beaten up, but not the Imperial Crown Prince. Because of his noble birth, the Imperial Crown Prince can't be beaten up, right?"
"What do you mean by that!" Leng Feng frowned and glared at him in dissatisfaction.
Chu Li said, "Crown Prince Feng, let's not talk about the fact that he's an Imperial Crown Prince, he's not even a Prince. Even if a Prince made a mistake, he would still be punished. Do you think that just because he's an Imperial Crown Prince, everyone has to give in to you? … Hah, if the Imperial Crown Princes can really do this, then there's no need for the Ji Dynasty's army to fight at the borders, and there's no need for the Ji Dynasty's High Duke's Public House to fight with the martial arts world's magnates. A few of the Imperial Crown Princes can just go around the Ji Dynasty and the world will be at peace. How fortunate! "
"You …" Leng Feng's handsome face darkened.
Chu Li said, "The Great Ji Dynasty was conquered by the Founding Father and the High Duke's Public Houses. The previous Emperors and High Dukes worked hard for the Great Ji Dynasty and fought with their lives on the line. What about you Imperial Princes? He hadn't even entered the Imperial Court yet, but he already wanted to act like a tyrant and run amok. What would happen in the future? … The Imperial Crown Prince? Why couldn't the Imperial Crown Prince be beaten? Crown Prince Feng, if you dare to say these words in front of King Jing, I will admire your courage! "
Leng Feng's handsome face darkened as he stared coldly at Chu Li.
Chu Li said faintly, "I believe that Crown Prince Feng has also gone to the frontier to train. I wonder what kind of meritorious service he has achieved? What rank have you accumulated? "
Leng Feng gritted his teeth, his mouth filled with bitterness.
As an imperial heir, after entering the border army, he indeed received preferential treatment. However, no matter how much preferential treatment was given, his contributions to the border army were only limited to a few small battles.
Without a great battle, how could there be any great merits? He had only accumulated merits to Rank-8.
Chu Li was about the same age as him, but he had already reached the first rank. The gap between them was like the clouds and the mud. If he was not the Crown Prince, he would not even have the right to speak to Chu Li.
Chu Li said faintly, "Imperial Crown Prince Feng is the Crown Prince. Of course, he's wise and mighty. I'm sure he's made many great contributions!"
"Hmph!" Leng Feng took a deep breath and snorted, "Forget it. In any case, you hit Leng Tao. That's wrong."
"Prince Feng, you want to say that I offended my superior, right?" Chu Li calmly said, "Crown Prince Feng, I, Chu Li, am a citizen of the Great Ji Dynasty, an official of the Emperor, not a servant of the Leng Clan. As a rank one, what's wrong with me beating up a Crown Prince?"
Leng Feng could only feel his body trembling. His fists were itching but he knew that he could not hit him.
Chu Li calmly looked at Leng Feng, "Crown Prince Feng, Prince Jing is wise and mighty. He will inherit the throne in the future and become the Emperor. I advise you to be careful with your words and actions. Don't bring shame to Prince Jing. Honest words are unpleasant to the ear. I hope Crown Prince Feng will not take offense!"
After he said that, he closed fist saluted, "Forgive me for not sending you off!"
Leng Feng was furious. His face was burning and his chest was boiling with anger. He wanted to punch Chu Li's face into pieces.
However, he knew that he would not be able to win against Chu Li if he did it himself.
"Alright, alright!" Leng Feng was so angry that he laughed. His face darkened, "Leng Feng has learned his lesson. Farewell!"
He closed fist saluted towards Siao Shi, Song Liuying, and Xue Ningyu. His expression softened a little and he urged his horse to leave.
"Chu Li, you're straightforward with your words." Siao Shi shook her head and laughed, "But there's no need to offend him like that. We still have to give face to the Crown Prince."
"If he wants face, of course we'll give it to him." Chu Li smiled, "Ignorant child. How dare he talk so big. He keeps saying that he's using the Imperial Family to oppress others. If I don't teach him a lesson, he won't know what's good for him!"
He was from the House of High Dukes. He was not on good terms with the Princes. With the House of High Dukes backing him up, he did not need to put on airs with the Princes.
"He's the Crown Prince of King Jing!" Siao Shi shook her head, "Isn't he afraid of offending King Jing?"
Chu Li said, "If King Jing only has this much tolerance, then so be it!"
"Head Chief, you're still calling him an ignorant child." Leng Qiu smiled, "You're not that old. But Leng Feng isn't a bad person. He's just a little arrogant and doesn't really care about others."
"Yes, Leng Feng thinks highly of himself." Song Liuying smiled, "He considers himself to be the future Prince, or even the future Emperor."
Xue Ningyu shook her head, "It's better not to offend Leng Feng if we can."
Chu Li sighed, "We're destined to be rivals."
Xue Ningyu looked at him in confusion.
Before Chu Li could say anything, he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him.
As the ground trembled, a group of people approached with loud rumbles.
"Oh, if it isn't Head Chief Chu!" Lu Yurong smiled and raised her voice, "We meet again!"
Chu Li closed fist saluted, "Lady Lu."
Lu Yurong smiled like a flower, bright like a pearl. She looked at Siao Shi, "Princess Siao."
Siao Shi said, "I didn't expect to see Lady Lu!"
"I came to join in the fun." Lu Yurong smiled, "Princess Siao, I heard that you've been injured. I didn't expect you to come out too."
"I came out to relax," Siao Shi said.
When the two women stood together, they were like two beautiful fresh flowers. They were like two dazzling pearls. It was hard to tell which one was more beautiful and which one was brighter.
Chu Li said, "Young Master Feng came to question me about hurting Leng Tao. It was Lady Lu's doing, right?"
"You have wronged me," Lu Yurong said with a smile, "Cousin brother is not someone who can be easily controlled by others. Instead, Head Chief should be careful. Don't make too many enemies and die a horrible death."
"Thank you for your concern, Lady Lu." Chu Li closed fist saluted, "I'm living a free life."
"Head Chief, if my son has offended you, please don't lower yourself to his level." Princess Lu pursed her lips and smiled, "Princess Siao is indeed the first beauty of the Great Ji Dynasty. His Highness King An is really lucky!"
Siao Shi smiled and nodded.
Chu Li closed fist saluted, "Princess Lu, I'm sorry. I'm straightforward and won't beat around the bush. I directly rebuked Crown Prince Feng. I hope he doesn't mind."
"He just came back from the frontier. He hasn't calmed down yet. He's hot-tempered and it's inevitable that he'll speak rashly." Princess Lu smiled calmly, "Young people are hot-tempered. It's normal to quarrel. There's no need to hold a grudge."
Chu Li smiled, "Of course. How long will Lady Lu be staying in the Fairy's Capital?"
"Why? You want me to leave as soon as possible?" Lu Yurong smiled.
Chu Li said, "I have something to ask Lady Lu."
"If you have something to say, say it now." Lu Yurong scoffed.
Chu Li nodded, "Alright."
Lu Yurong turned her head and said, "Aunt, I have something to say to Chu Li. You guys go first. I'll catch up later."
"Alright." Princess Lu smiled.
