Dong Qifei's face was full of reluctance, but the commander and deputy commander both nodded. As a newcomer, he could only obediently follow orders.
His internal organs were still hurting. Seeing Chu Li's gloomy face, he groaned to himself and cursed his bad luck. He would not have such good days in the future!
Yang Zongwen glanced at Dong Qifei and groaned to himself. Retribution really came fast!
"Commander, Commander Xu, we'll take our leave!" Chu Li fist saluted.
Fu Mengshan said, "? Liang, help Young Chu settle down. Find a small courtyard and build it according to the best standards! "
"Yes, Commander!" Liang replied in a low voice.
The four of them left the main hall.
? Liang led the way in front and turned to look at Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled, "? What do you have to say, brother? "
"I didn't expect the commander to value you so much." Liang scoffed, "But you have to be careful. I'll give you a piece of advice."
Chu Li said, "I'm all ears."
"The commander's temper is not as good as you think." Liang said coldly, "If you can complete the mission, the commander will be very kind. But if you can't, he will not be lenient with his punishment!"
Chu Li smiled, "If I can't complete it, how will the commander punish me?"
"He'll send you to a remote place." Liang said, "Or stay in the residence to do some trivial things. There are many ways."
"Isn't it good to do trivial things in the residence?" Chu Li smiled and glanced at him, "Like? Brother, like this? "
"This is punishment!" Liang scoffed, "I had to stay in the residence for half a year because I made a mistake. Otherwise, I would have gone out to do missions!"
"What are the benefits of missions?" Chu Li asked.
? Liang said, "We are using a military system. There are military merits. With military merits, you have everything!"
"Military merits …" Chu Li muttered.
"With military functions, you can be promoted. Once you are promoted, you can get better pills and secret manuals. You even have the opportunity to go to the secret warehouse to pick some strange things." Liang's eyes lit up, "In short, military merits are the most precious!"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
This kind of incentive was not rare. The hierarchy was strict.
? Liang brought them to a small courtyard and pointed at the dilapidated courtyard. "This is the place. It's a little run-down, but it's quiet."
Chu Li smiled. "A small team gets such treatment?"
The mansion was very big, with a total of five rooms. There were many rooms, but there were even more people.
Chu Li initially thought that he would be sharing a house with someone else, but he did not expect that he would be given a small courtyard. This was the treatment of a Sergeant.
"The commander personally instructed me to do so." Liang asked, "Are you satisfied?"
Chu Li smiled. "This courtyard is not bad."
? Liang said, "If there's anything you don't understand, just ask. Actually, there's nothing much to ask. The commander has already instructed you. Just do your job."
Chu Li nodded and glanced at Dong Qifei and Yang Zongwen, "Clean up this courtyard first, that's all for today, I'll come back tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he immediately left the Secret Guardians Hall.
? Liang, Dong Qifei, and Yang Zongwen looked at each other. They did not expect Chu Li to leave just like that.

Chu Li came out of the Secret Guardians Hall and strolled along the street. His hands were behind his back, and his white robe was fluttering.
He found it strange that the commander and deputy commander of the Secret Guardians Hall did not have any killing intent towards him. This was very out of his expectations.
Siao Shi had killed two of the Secret Guardians of the Imperial House. Logically speaking, the two Commanders would not be nice to him. They might even have prepared all kinds of evil plans in order to regain some of their lost pride.
However, the result was unexpected. Not only did they not have any killing intent, but they were also looking forward to him finding a few disciples from the Holy Church of Light.
The Secret Guardians Hall hated the Holy Church of Light to the core. They had already lost more than ten secret guardians to the Holy Church of Light.
In order to find out more about the Holy Church of Light, more than ten secret guardians joined the Holy Church of Light.
However, the Holy Church of Light had a unique way to screen them out. None of the sixteen secret guardians were spared. They all died one after another. Hence, the Secret Guardians Hall hated the Holy Church of Light to the core.
The commander of the Secret Guardians Hall, Fu Mengshan, was so kind to him because he wanted to capture the disciples from the Holy Church of Light.
Fu Mengshan said that as long as one was captured, Chu Li could rest for the year. He did not need to care about the Secret Guardians Hall anymore. This was a lie.
Fu Mengshan wanted to see Chu Li's true ability. He wanted to know if he could capture the disciples from the Holy Church of Light.
If he really had such ability, he would definitely make him take action no matter what. He would find all the disciples from the Holy Church of Light in the Fairy's Capital and send them to the Ultimate Land of Bliss one by one.
Chu Li was hesitant. He did not know if he should try his best to kill all the disciples from the Holy Church of Light.
The disciples from the Holy Church of Light did not come to the Fairy's Capital with good intentions. It would not be wrong to kill them.
Chu Li did not want to stand out at first. The disciples from the Holy Church of Light were all lunatics. Once they were provoked, it would be a big problem that could not be shaken off. He wanted the Secret Guardians Hall to handle it themselves.
Now it seemed that he was too optimistic. The Secret Guardians Hall had no way to find the disciples from the Holy Church of Light.
Hence, the two commanders put all their attention on him. They hoped that he really had the ability to find the disciples from the Holy Church of Light.
Chu Li was hesitating. The disciples from the Holy Church of Light must be eliminated. However, he needed to think carefully when to do it.
His foundation was not stable yet. If he angered the Holy Church of Light and provoked them to take revenge, would he be able to handle it?
No matter how he thought about it, he was not sure.
He needed to accumulate his strength. Only when he had the confidence to protect himself could he deal with the Holy Church of Light. It was too early to take action now. It would put the people around him in danger.
He went back to the Imperial Residence. He saw Jiang Kuai in the Omniscient Mirror.
Jiang Kuai was wearing a green robe. He was sitting in his small courtyard with a weathered face. He looked anxious and looked at the door from time to time.
Xue was fanning the small red clay stove. White steam rose.
Chu Li flashed and appeared at the door of the small courtyard. He pushed the door and entered.
Jiang Kuai stood up immediately. He closed fist saluted. "Chief!"
Chu Li waved his hand. Looking at his serious face, he knew it was not good news. "Sit down and talk! … What happened? "
Jiang Kuai and Chu Li sat at the stone table. Xue served tea and stood behind Chu Li.
"Chief, bad news." Jiang Kuai's handsome face was gloomy. He said in a low voice, "We lost six Protectors in the Imperial Residence. They were all gathered in these three days!"
Chu Li said, "Did you save them?"
Jiang Kuai shook his head slowly.
Chu Li frowned. "Didn't you bring the Spirit Blessing Pill?"
"The Spirit Blessing Pill was stolen," Jiang Kuai said in a low voice.
"Stolen …" Chu Li's face turned gloomy. "Looks like they won't stop until one of them dies!"
The Spirit Blessing Pill was not omnipotent. If the opponent was too strong, the Protectors of the House of High Dukes would not be able to escape even if they used their secret skills. The Spirit Blessing Pill would be stolen. Even if they took the pill, it would be useless. The opponent could kill them again and completely end the lives of the Protectors of the House of High Dukes.
Jiang Kuai said, "Master Xiao Tieying has ordered all the Protectors to return to the House of High Dukes. They will not go out."
"The dead were Innate Masters?" Chu Li frowned.
Grandmasters were not that easy to kill.
Jiang Kuai said, "Three Innate Masters and three Acquired Masters."
Xue said in a low voice, "Master, if all the Protectors were to retreat to the House of High Dukes, wouldn't they become blind and not know anything?"
This move was too demoralizing and too weak. It would greatly damage the prestige of the House of High Dukes. Logically speaking, no matter how many Protectors died, they should not take this step.
Chu Li shook his head. "Master Xiao Tieying, do you have any clues?"
Jiang Kuai sighed. "Master Xiao Tieying speculated that these people might be the work of the imperial court. It's very likely that the Secret Guardians of the imperial house did it."
