Lu Yurong stepped forward gracefully, "What's going to happen in the second half?"
Chu Li shook his head and smiled, "After Fa Xiang and Xing Ming left, another monk from the Tempest Temple came and taught King An an antique study from the Tempest Temple."
"What antique study?"
"Golden Lohan's Power. Have you heard of it?" Chu Li stared at her bright eyes.
Lu Yurong squinted her eyes, "Golden Lohan's Power?"
"Looks like you've heard of it," Chu Li said.
Lu Yurong's eyes were solemn, "If it's really this technique, then … the Tempest Temple is really generous to pass this technique to King An! Oh, that's right, this technique requires a profound dharmic base. If King An can study dharmic base, it'll be a good thing for the Tempest Temple! "
She immediately understood the Tempest Temple's intention.
Chu Li said, "Looks like the Golden Lohan's Power is indeed an antique study."
Lu Yurong said, "Most people know about the Sentient Menace, but they don't know about the Golden Lohan's Power. The Golden Lohan's Power and the Sentient Menace are equally antique studies."
"I see that most of the disciples from the Tempest Temple cultivate the Sentient Menace.
Lu Yurong said, "It's no wonder. The Sentient Menace is easier to cultivate, but the Golden Lohan's Power is more difficult. The attainment of Dharma is extremely important to the Golden Lohan's Power, and the requirements for comprehension are too high."
"Isn't it easier to cultivate the Golden Lohan's Power?" Chu Li asked.
Lu Yurong shook her head, "I've never cultivated these two martial arts. I've only heard people say that the Sentient Menace is like climbing up a mountain, one step at a time. It's slow at the beginning, and it's quite difficult, but you can always keep going up … The Golden Lohan's Power is different. It starts off as a flat road, and it's very fast. Then, there's a very high step, which is as high as ten steps of the Sentient Menace. After you climb up, it's another flat road, and then an even higher step, which is as high as twenty steps of the Sentient Menace. The final height of the two techniques is the same, but the way you walk is completely different."
Chu Li nodded thoughtfully.
Lu Yurong said, "It is impossible to cultivate the Golden Lohan's Power without the aid of the Dharma. No matter how good one's natural endowments are, it is useless. Only by studying the Dharma can one step up to the next level. The further one goes, the higher the requirement for the Dharma. There are not many people in the Tempest Temple who cultivate this. Looks like King An is going to devote himself to Buddhism. Congratulations!"
"What's there to celebrate?" Chu Li smiled.
Lu Yurong smiled and said, "King An has been influenced by the teachings of Buddhism. He might be able to let go of his grudges and forgive you. Shouldn't I congratulate you?!"
Chu Li glared at her.
Lu Yurong chuckled, she was elated.
Chu Li shook his head.
Lu Yurong smiled and said, "Chu Li, you're really unlucky to have met an opponent like King An. You're too lucky. With King An's luck, who knows, he might actually ascend the throne in the end. When that time comes …"
She laughed harder as she spoke.
Chu Li smiled. "Miss Lu, you're so straightforward. It's as if you'll be able to get what you want if King An ascends to the throne!"
He and King An were enemies, so was Lu Yurong. They were probably only one rank behind him.
Lu Yurong held back her laughter. "I'll hide in the House of High Duke anyway. He can't do anything to me! This Tempest Temple sure is ruthless. They must have schemed against you, right? "
"Hmph, they're not easy to deal with!" Chu Li said.
Lu Yurong said, "What about now? Do you have any ideas?"
Chu Li sighed and shook his head. "I can only wait for an opportunity. I don't have any good ideas at the moment."
"The only ones we can use are the people from the Holy Church of Light." Lu Yurong said.
She often put herself in Chu Li's shoes and thought about how to get out of the situation and eliminate King An.
No matter how she thought about it, there was no other way. The only ones who would dare to kill King An were the Tempest Temple or some hot-blooded people in the martial arts world. The other one was the Holy Church of Light.
The Tempest Temple was not used. Instead, they taught King An an antique study. It seemed like they were pulling King An to the Tempest Temple. Only the Holy Church of Light was left. However, the Holy Church of Light did not seem to have the intention to kill King An.
As such, Chu Li was in a difficult situation.
Chu Li said, "The Holy Church of Light? I can't count on them. "
Great minds think alike. He had the same opinion as Lu Yurong. The Holy Church of Light did not seem to have the intention to assassinate King An. Perhaps in their eyes, King An was not a threat.
The two of them talked as they arrived at the main hall.
King Jing was reading a book in the main hall. He was wearing a purple robe. When he saw Chu Li, he put down the book and stood up with a smile.
Chu Li fist saluted. "Greetings, Your Royal Highness."
"Sit down and talk. I'll talk for a while and won't disturb you anymore." King Jing waved his hand and smiled.
Chu Li pretended not to hear him.
Lu Yurong glared at King Jing and scoffed. "Uncle-in-law!"
King Jing laughed. "I heard that Third Brother's martial arts was crippled?"
Lu Yurong sighed. "Uncle-in-law, the Tempest Temple passed on another divine technique to King An."
"Oh?" King Jing's face darkened.
Chu Li said, "His Highness King An's martial arts has improved greatly. His cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. He's progressing at a tremendous pace!"
"I really have to congratulate Third Brother!" King Jing scoffed.
Chu Li smiled. "The Tempest Temple is unpredictable. It's impossible to guard against them."
"Fine." King Jing nodded slowly. "I invited you here to inform you in advance."
"Please go ahead, Your Royal Highness," Chu Li said.
He sighed in his heart.
As expected of King Jing. After hearing the news, he was able to calm down so quickly. His temperament was even better than King An's.
King Jing said, "It's about the Holy Church of Light."
Chu Li nodded and looked at him.
King Jing said, "The Secret Guardians of the Imperial House are preparing to investigate this matter. They'll summon you to assist them."
Chu Li frowned. "I'll assist them?"
King Jing sighed. "There's a traitor in the Hunting Ceremony this time. The Secret Guardians of the Imperial House are embarrassed. The Hunting Ceremony is related to the reputation of the imperial court. If it wasn't for the Imperial Uncle, I'm afraid it would have caused a huge commotion and the whole world would know about it."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Those who participated in the Hunting Ceremony were all the princes' sons and daughters. How could the princes not be worried if there was a traitor? How could they treat the Secret Guardians of the Imperial House and the Ministry of War nicely?
"They're angry at you, but they can't not summon you to help them. This matter is not easy to handle. You have to be careful." King Jing said in a serious tone.
"Your Royal Highness, forgive me for not being able to help." Chu Li shook his head. "I can't help much."
King Jing frowned. "I was afraid that you'd be like this. That's why I'm telling you in advance."
Chu Li pretended to be listening attentively.
King Jing said, "The Emperor has heard about this. He's very curious about you. That's why the Secret Guardians of the Imperial House can only ask for your help. If you don't agree, it'll be exactly what they want. They'll be able to make up stories about you in front of the Emperor and leave an impression that you're arrogant and difficult to tame."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
This method was indeed ruthless. It was a fatal blow to those who were interested in an official career.
King Jing said, "That's why it's best that you don't reject them. Just do it half-heartedly."
Lu Yurong frowned. "Uncle-in-law, if he does it half-heartedly, the Secret Guardians of the Imperial House will still make up stories about him. They'll say that his abilities are ordinary and that he doesn't live up to his reputation!"
"Sigh …" King Jing shook his head. "These people are getting more and more arrogant. They can't take it anymore. If this goes on …"
He looked worried.
