After Chu Li returned to the gazebo, Leng Qiu and Leng Qing looked at him.
Song Liuying and Xue Ningyu were hesitant to speak, but in the end, they held back and did not ask further.
Siao Shi glanced at him. It seemed like he had been staying here all along and did not leave.
Chu Li's injuries were almost healed, and it could not be seen from his appearance.
"My Lady, we should head back now," Chu Li said.
"Are you leaving now?" Siao Shi looked at him, her eyes were like autumn waters.
Chu Li said, "There's nothing else to see after this. You must be tired."
"… Alright." Xiao Shi nodded lightly and turned to look at Song Liuying and Xue Ningyu.
"You guys go first. We'll stay behind to avoid being rude."
"Thank you, Sisters," Xiao Shi said.
Chu Li closed fist saluted. "Consort Song, Consort Xue, please follow Consort Lu back to the town to avoid any accidents."
Song Liuying smiled, "Head Chief is worried about Leng Tao and the rest?"
These hedonistic sons of rich parents could do anything when their blood rushed to their heads.
Chu Li nodded.
Song Liuying smiled, "Indeed, we have to be on guard. Alright, we will follow Princess Lu back to the city."
Chu Li, Xiao Shi, Yang Xu and Xue Ling returned to the town together.
Lu Yurong saw it from afar. She thought for a while and pulled Leng Ying up. "Let's go back with them!"
"It's not over yet." Leng Ying struggled and shouted, "I still want to see if Big Brother has won."
Lu Yurong ignored her struggle. "He can't win. Let's go!"
Princess Lu pursed her lips into a smile and waved her hand, "Go back with your cousin."
"Mother!" Leng Ying was unwillingly helped onto the horse by Lu Yurong, and the two of them galloped away.
"Why on earth!" Leng Ying pouted and snorted unwillingly. "Cousin, why must you be with him?"
She said indignantly, "What's so great about him?"
As they spoke, they had already caught up to Chu Li.
Chu Li glanced at Lu Yurong and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't kill anyone!"
Lu Yurong said coldly, "You go your way, I'll go mine!"
Chu Li smiled. "What a coincidence."
Leng Ying gave him a sidelong glance and snorted.
Lu Yu Rong said, "Chu Li, the Princess invites you to the Imperial Residence tomorrow."
"Oh — —?" Chu Li smiled. "It was your idea, right?"
No matter how magnanimous Consort Lu was, she would never invite him, who had a conflict with her son. It was obvious that Lu Yurong wanted his help to find the disciples of the Holy Church of Light in the Imperial Residence of King Jing.
Yurong said. "If you accept, the invitation will come!"
"… Forget it." Chu Li shook his head. "The Imperial Residence of King Jing is too prestigious. I can't get close to them."
Yurong's Shen.
The four horses rode side by side. Siao Shi was in the innermost position with Chu Li guarding her. Lu Yurong and Leng Ying were on the other side of Chu Li.
"Tell me, what are your conditions?" Lu Yurong scoffed.
"Just a small favor." Chu Li smiled.
Lu Yurong said coldly, "You say it's a small matter, but it's usually a big matter. Speak clearly!"
Chu Li said, "Isn't Master Xiao Tieying's wedding next month?"
"Hmph, just like last time?" Lu Yu Rong frowned. "I'm already doing you a favor by not looking for trouble with the Yi Public House!"
Chu Li shook his head with a smile and looked at her confidently.
Leng Ying didn't know what to think. She looked at the two.
However, she was completely relieved. Looking at the way the two of them were talking, it didn't seem like they were in love. Instead, it seemed like they were fighting a battle of wits and courage.
Lu Yu Rong frowned for a while and scoffed, "… How many?"
"Like last time." Chu Li smiled. "Any more and it'll be too much for you."
Lu Yurong took a deep breath. Her chest rose and fell. "Alright, I'll do it!"
Chu Li said, "Let's make this clear. I'll only look for the Holy Church of Light."
He guessed there were many spies in the Imperial Residence of King Jing.
He arranged for Zhuo Feiyang. Zhuo Feiyang was doing well. Although he didn't become King Jing's confidant, he was stable. It was the first step.
Lu Yurong said, "Other than the Holy Church of Light, I'll send you one more person for every one you find!"
"No matter which Imperial Residence?"
"Yes!" Lu Yurong said, "No matter which force, one more person means one more person for me!"
"… Alright." Chu Li smiled. "This has to be kept a secret. If not, I'll become the world's enemy. I won't be able to do anything!"
"Of course!" Lu Yurong glanced at Siao Shi and Leng Ying. "Don't tell anyone about what happened today!"
"Alright." Leng Ying nodded.
Siao Shi looked ahead. She didn't even look at them. Lu Yurong didn't seem to exist.
—
Leng Feng went back to Princess Lu.
Although he was protected by armor, the feeling of an unsharpened blade cutting his body was unbearable. Even after taking the pills from the Imperial Residence, the pain did not subside.
He went back to the gazebo and looked around.
Princess Lu said, "Stop looking. Lu Yurong and your sister have returned to the town."
"Why did they leave so early?" Leng Feng asked dejectedly.
"It's because they're afraid of your gang of scoundrels." Consort Lu said snappily, "Feng Er, you gathered a group of people to cause trouble for Chu Li, didn't you?"
"Mother …" Leng Feng said helplessly, "It's just a little joke. It's nothing."
"Hmph, a joke!" Princess Lu scoffed. "You know about the traitor?"
"Yes." Leng Feng said, "I didn't think there would be a traitor. The people from the Imperial Court are getting more and more useless!"
"This Zhou Zhixiong is a disciple of the Holy Church of Light. He's a Grandmaster." Princess Lu said, "If he wasn't discovered, killing you would be a piece of cake!"
Leng Feng frowned. "The Holy Church of Light?"
"You know about it too?"
"Of course I know about the number one sect in the Li Dynasty." Leng Feng's face turned serious. "I heard they're even stronger than the Tempest Temple! … I didn't think Zhou Zhixiong is a disciple of the Holy Church of Light! "
"This time, he might be here to kill you Imperial Princes!" Princess Lu said, "Chu Li saved your lives!"
Leng Feng nodded slowly.
Although he didn't want to admit it, if Zhou Zhixiong was really from the Holy Church of Light, it would be troublesome. He might really kill him.
Among the Imperial Princes, he was the most important. He would become the primary target. He might not be able to escape.
"I'm telling you, don't look for trouble with him in the future!" Princess Lu said.
"I know, Mother," Leng Feng said helplessly.
"If you don't listen to me, I'll send you to the frontier for another year!" Princess Lu glared at him.
She knew her son's temperament very well. She knew that he was probably doing it half-heartedly.
"Yes, yes." Leng Feng quickly said, "Leng Tao got slapped by Chu Li in front of Imperial Granduncle. Didn't Imperial Granduncle say anything?"
"Leng Tao deserved it. Your Imperial Granduncle is being generous by not punishing him," Princess Lu said, "Tomorrow, I'll invite Chu Li over as a guest!"
"What?!" Leng Feng raised his voice.
Princess Lu glared at him.
Leng Feng quickly said, "Mother, why did you invite him as a guest!"
"Think about it yourself."
"Do we have to apologize? Why?" Leng Feng said loudly.
Princess Lu was disappointed.
"You're not very smart. If you were as smart as Yurong, I would be relieved." Princess Lu shook her head and sighed.
Leng Feng scoffed, "Mother, you're underestimating me!"
"You only know how to act on impulse all day," Princess Lu said, "A man should be broad-minded. What about you! … Go and do what you have to do. Tell your group of scoundrels to behave themselves. Don't provoke Chu Li! "
"… Yes," Leng Feng left unhappily.
However, he had no intention of letting them stop. The more Princess Lu said, the angrier he was towards Chu Li. He wanted to teach him a lesson.
