"Are they not getting married?" Chu Li shook his head, "Isn't this exactly what they wanted?"
Siao Shi frowned and looked at him thoughtfully.
She was smart enough to understand what Chu Li was implying. "You're not saying that the imperial court did this, are you?"
"There are too many people against it. The imperial court, the martial arts world, the other public houses are against it too. There are even some who are not against it and just want to create chaos. No one can tell if the assassin is real or not." Chu Li shook his head and sighed.
"… Let's go back now!" Siao Shi said, "They can't catch the assassin but you can!"
"Why don't we play dumb," Chu Li shook his head.
Siao Shi raised her eyebrows and suddenly let out a bright smile, "Chu Li, are you a little reluctant to leave?"
"What is there to be reluctant about?" Chu Li smiled.
Siao Shi smiled like a flower, "Sigh … Miss Lu is really beautiful!"
Chu Li burst into laughter. "She likes women, not men!"
"Even if she likes women, staying in front of her and looking at her is also pleasing to the eye." Siao Shi's smile became even more charming, "Moreover, you are very capable. Maybe you can change her personality!"
"Alright, alright, let's go back." Chu Li smiled, "Are we leaving now?"
"Let's go, no one cares anyway," Siao Shi said.
Chu Li gave some instructions to Xue Ling and Yang Xu and brought Siao Shi back to the public house.
The backyard of Iron Eagle Island.
Siao Tieying sat alone in the pagoda with a book in his hand. He looked into the distance absent-mindedly. The dusk was like a mist and the surroundings were lonely. His tall and straight figure also carried a sense of loneliness.
"Big brother," Siao Shi called out.
She came to the pagoda and softly said, "Thinking about sister-in-law?"
"No." Siao Tieying quickly shook his head.
He did not want to show weakness in front of his sister.
He looked at Chu Li, "You guys got the news too?"
Chu Li asked, "How is the heir to the High Duke?"
"He is still unconscious." Siao Tieying sighed, "This assassin's martial arts is very powerful."
"Is the assassin male or female?"
"An old man." Siao Tieying shook his head and said, "When we were walking on the street, he suddenly attacked us. At that time, the Protectors could not react in time. This old man's sword art is fast and his Qing Gong is extremely high!"
"The assassin retreated." Siao Tieying said, "Not injured."
"The assassin left safely." Siao Tieying said, "No."
"Let's go." Siao Shi Siao Shi said, "Siao Shi."
"Big Brother, Chu Li's healing ability is amazing," Xiao Shi said. "Let's save him first!"
"Sigh, let's try." Siao Tieying nodded, "Chu Li, bring me there. Second sister, you should take a break. Is it convenient for you to go to the Imperial Residence?"
"Si." Siao Shi said.
Siao Tieying said earnestly, "Don't stir up any gossip."
Siao Shi said.
Chu Li smiled. "Master Xiao Tieying, let's go!"
"Si.
The next morning, when Chu Li and Siao Shi returned to the Imperial Residence, the heir to the High Duke Song had already woken up. His martial arts had been preserved, and all that was left was to recuperate.
What bothered Chu Li was that the assassin had already disappeared.
The All-Seeing Divine Ability was unable to sense him.
Chu Li guessed that there were two possibilities. One was that this person was able to break his All-Seeing Divine Power, and the other was that this person was no longer in this world.
It wasn't realistic to break his divine ability, so it was the second option.
Chu Li speculated that they were disciples of the Holy Church of Light.
With the assassin's Peerless Martial Arts, it would be difficult for any force to be cruel enough to silence him. Only the disciple of the Holy Church of Light might have activated a secret skill, which was why he was able to assassinate Song Shi Ling so easily. Then, he died and entered the Ultimate Land of Bliss.
Siao Shi sat in the Tianshu Courtyard. She held her chin lazily and scoffed, "It's the Holy Church of Light, right?"
She thought about it thoroughly and guessed that the culprit was a disciple of the Holy Church of Light.
Chu Li replied, "Almost."
"Fortunately, it's not the imperial court," Siao Shi shook her head.
Chu Li asked, "Will the imperial court allow the two families to unite by marriage?"
"What's the big deal about the marriage?" Siao Shi scoffed.
Chu Li shook his head, "It's a bad start. Once the precedent is set, a few Public Houses will unite by marriage. Generation after generation, they will soon form a whole. The Leng family's empire will be in danger!"
"That's true," Siao Shi frowned and nodded slowly.
Chu Li said, "So the imperial court will definitely stop it. It can only be done in secret!"
"It's nothing more than an assassination!" Siao Shi sneered.
Chu Li said, "That's the most effective. … This time, it was the heir to the High Duke. What if it was Lady Song? Or Master Xiao Tieying? "
Siao Shi frowned and pondered.
Chu Li smiled, "Lady Siao Shi doesn't have to worry about this. Just deal with it as it comes."
Siao Shi shook her head and sighed, "Big brother has such a hard life. It's so hard to get a wife!"
Chu Li laughed.
"Master, the Imperial Residence of King Jing sent an invitation," Xue Ling walked in lightly and handed over a simple and elegant invitation.
Chu Li took it and glanced at it, "I'll go over now."
Siao Shi smiled faintly, "Great Beauty Lu invited you, right?"
Chu Li said, "She invited me over. Nothing good will come out of it."
"Go, go. Don't let her wait!" Siao Shi smiled and waved her hand.
Chu Li pretended not to notice her teasing. He closed fist saluted and left.
Siao Shi looked at his back and scoffed, "Men are all the same. When they see a beautiful woman, they can't move!"
Xue Ling smiled, "No matter how beautiful Lady Lu is, she can't be more beautiful than you, Lady Siao Shi."
Siao Shi turned and glanced at her. She scoffed, "It's useless for you to say anything nice. Your Master is not a good person!"
Xue Ling smiled and lowered her head.

Chu Li arrived at the Imperial Residence of King Jing.
Lu Yurong was standing outside the door. The door was wide open.
She wore a bluish-white gown and a white veil. It covered her charming face and only her eyes were exposed.
A gust of wind blew. Her gown fluttered and the white veil swayed. Her beautiful face was faintly discernible. It made her even more mysterious and attractive.
Chu Li got off the horse and closed fist saluted.
Lu Yu Rong walked forward gracefully and curtsied, "Head Chief Chu, please —!"
Chu Li smiled, "There's no need to be so grand."
"You helped the Imperial Residence a lot. How can it not be grand?" Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li asked, "Is His Royal Highness in the Imperial Residence?"
"Yes." Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Lu Yurong said, "What happened last time is over. His Royal Highness is free now."
"I'm just afraid that the banquet won't be a good one." Chu Li shook his head.
Lu Yurong said, "Don't worry. The Imperial Residence of King Jing won't bite the hand that feeds them."
"That's great." Chu Li walked side by side with her into the Imperial Residence.
The scribes and maids along the way bowed respectfully. It was obvious that Lu Yurong's position in the Imperial Residence was very high.
"Can you relax now?"
"Relax what?"
"King An's martial arts has been crippled. He's no longer a threat to you."
"Who said that King An's martial arts has been crippled?" Chu Li shook his head and smiled.
Lu Yurong was stunned and stopped.
