Lu Yurong went into the forest and came back with a long stick. It was as tall as a person and as thick as a baby's arm. She passed one end to Chu Li, "Let's go!"
"Just like that?" Chu Li laughed but did not extend his hand.
Lu Yurong glanced at him and said coldly, "How do you want to go?"
Chu Li said, "Just through my sleeve. Why do you have to be so cautious? I'm not a pervert!"
"No!" Lu Yurong scoffed.
Chu Li said helplessly, "I'll go by myself. My injuries aren't that serious!"
"Alright, up to you!" Lu Yurong said, "I'll go first!"
She tossed the stick and glided away.
Chu Li suddenly coughed as if his injuries were acting up.
Lu Yurong stopped and turned to glare at him, "Chu Li, are you leaving or not?"
Chu Li shrugged, "You go first."
"… You walk in front," Lu Yurong scoffed.
She was also worried that if someone ambushed him and he was injured, it would be her fault if anything happened.
Chu Li smiled, "You might not be able to catch up to me!"
"Then I'll try!" Lu Yurong sneered.
Chu Li glided onto the treetops as if he was riding the wind. He glided forward without a trace of dust. It looked slow but his speed was surprisingly fast.
Lu Yurong followed closely behind.
Chu Li raised his voice, "That Crown Prince Feng is thinking of how to deal with me!"
"Who told you to offend him!" Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li shook his head, "It's all your fault. He thinks we have an ambiguous relationship and that's why he wants to deal with me. If not, he wouldn't even care about me."
Lu Yurong scoffed, "You hit Leng Tao first. Leng Feng thinks you're arrogant. Arrogant people hate it when others are arrogant. You two are destined to be enemies. Don't drag me into this!"
"I'm arrogant?" Chu Li shook his head and laughed.
Lu Yurong said coldly, "Don't underestimate Leng Feng. His mentality is not mature enough but his power is not weak. A child holding a knife can kill if it's sharp enough."
Chu Li said, "King Jing's influence is strong, right?"
"What do you think?" Lu Yurong said calmly, "Don't even think about getting any information out of me!"
"I don't think it's wise for you to support King Jing." Chu Li said, "Any disciple of the Imperial Family will be afraid of the House of High Dukes. Even if he is your uncle, he will not truly treat the House of High Dukes as one of his own!"
Lu Yurong snorted.
Chu Li chuckled. "You're so smart. How could you not know? Looks like you're using King Jing!"
"We're just using each other." Lu Yurong said lightly, "Just like us, aren't we using each other?"
Chu Li said, "It's better if it's a purely beneficial relationship. It won't take too much effort to understand."
Lu Yurong glanced at him, "You already have someone you like, Siao Shi?"
Chu Li laughed. "You're really imaginative!"
"Siao Shi is the most beautiful woman in the Great Ji Dynasty. You're a man, how can you not be tempted by her?" Lu Yurong scoffed, "Anyone can see that!"
Chu Li shook his head. "It's really a misunderstanding."
"If it's not Siao Shi … Siao Qi?" Lu Yurong was surprised and looked him up and down. "Is it really Siao Qi?!"
Chu Li said, "You're really not going to marry for the rest of your life?"
"Yes." Lu Yurong glanced at him and answered lightly.
Chu Li shook his head. "The Empyrean Fairy Power is really harmful!"
Lu Yurong glanced at him. "What martial arts do you cultivate?"
"The Infinite Azure Sea," Chu Li said.
The two of them schemed and tested each other, but they realized that the other party understood them very well, far better than the average person. The two of them were extremely smart people, so it was easy and troublesome to talk. They fought with their wits and schemes, and their minds surged.

When the two of them fluttered back to the enclosure, the cavalries there were still no results. They were either entangled or ambushed. The five groups of cavalries displayed their agility and cunning to the fullest.
Leng Ying was a little bored. She was not interested in these fights and killings.
She looked around absentmindedly. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she stood up.
Consort Lu was shocked by her. "What's wrong, Ying Er?"
Leng Ying stared at Chu Li and Lu Yurong. Her bright eyes widened as she stared at them carefully.
"They're finally back." Consort Lu sighed in relief.
Ever since Lu Yurong left, she had been worried.
Leng Ying went forward and stood in front of Chu Li. She glanced at him and ignored him. She turned to Lu Yurong. "Cousin sister, why are you with him again?"
Lu Yurong said, "The Royal Highness is back?"
"He just came back." Leng Ying glanced at Chu Li who fluttered away and returned to Siao Shi's side. She scoffed. "Cousin sister, why are you with him again?"
"I have important matters to attend to." Lu Yurong said. "Don't mess around. Let's go."
Consort Lu looked at her with concern as she walked over.
Lu Yurong said in a low voice, "Aunt, when Young Feng comes back, tell him to tell his scoundrel friends to behave themselves. Don't provoke Chu Li."
Consort Lu looked at her in surprise.
Lu Yurong said, "Chu Li is injured now. If Young Feng and his friends really provoke Siao Shi, he will kill them!"
She could see through Leng Feng and his friends' playboy tactics. They were like children playing house.
But if the knife in a child's hand was sharp enough, it could also kill people and cause big trouble.
Chu Li was injured. If they provoked Siao Shi at this time and forced him to fight, he would definitely kill to establish his authority. If that happened, things would get out of hand.
Consort Lu smiled. "Since when did you care so much about Head Chief Chu?"
"Not caring about him." Lu Yurong shook her head. "We will need him soon. Don't make things too awkward."
"Hmm …?" Consort Lu was even more curious.
Lu Yurong said, "That traitor Field Officer Zhou is a disciple of the Holy Church of Light."
"Holy Church of Light?" Consort Lu thought for a while. "I think it's a sect from the Li Dynasty?"
"The Holy Church of Light is very scary." Lu Yurong's expression was solemn. "It's impossible to guard against them."
Consort Lu was deep in thought. "Head Chief Chu can see that. You mean, our Imperial Residence …?"
She glanced around and stopped talking.
"It's very possible!" Lu Yurong said. "So we need him to help us look."
"This is a big matter!" Consort Lu frowned. "Your uncle might not agree."
"I will convince him." Lu Yurong said lightly. "They can hide from the Secret Guardians of the Imperial House. Who will uncle find to investigate?"
Consort Lu nodded lightly. She was deep in thought.
Leng Ying listened quietly at the side. Her eyes were wide open but she did not interrupt.
After a while, Consort Lu sighed softly. She shook her head. "Sigh … Young Feng is still too far away!"
Even after going to the border to train for a year, she saw that Leng Feng did not improve much. Compared to Lu Yurong, it was like comparing an adult to a child.
Lu Yurong's talent was exceptional. She could not compare to her. There was still Chu Li.
"You guys spoil him too much. How can a flower from the garden do!" Lu Yurong said lightly.
"Aren't you from the garden too?" Consort Lu smiled.
Lu Yurong smiled.
That was true. She was born smarter than others. She did not need to train.
