He knew that this was not the work of the Imperial House Secret Guardians.
He did not see the news from the two Commanders.
If they really did it, they would definitely think about it when they faced him. There was no trace of this incident in their minds, so the two of them did not know about it.
However, even if it was not done by them, they could still start from the Imperial House Secret Guardians.
The Imperial House Secret Guardians had sharp ears and eyes. They might have some information. He had to go there and try to find some clues.
The All-Seeing Divine Power was powerful but not omnipotent. Once a person died, his inner energy would dissipate and he would not be able to find the person unless there was blood or hair of the person on the body.
"What about their bodies?" Chu Li asked, "Is there the murderer's blood on the body?"
Jiang Kuai shook his head, "It should be a Grandmaster. They could not resist and died under the sword. Senior Gui and the others saw it but there were no clues."
Xue frowned, "This is troublesome."
She knew that Chu Li's All-Seeing Divine Power needed the person's blood as a guide. Without it, the All-Seeing Divine Power would be useless.
Jiang Kuai said, "Master Xiao Tieying said that he could not care about anything else now. Not losing the Protectors in the Public House is the most important thing. As for the prestige of the Public House, we do not need to use the Protectors' lives to protect it!"
Chu Li picked up the teacup and took a sip.
This was in line with Siao Tieying's character. He prioritized the Protectors' lives.
Xue said, "But we can't just hide forever, right? What has the Public House become! "
Jiang Kuai shook his head and sighed, "If the Protectors die one by one, it will destroy the prestige of the Public House … Master Xiao Tieying said so."
Chu Li said, "Master Xiao Tieying, do you have any clues?"
"A few Grandmasters have left the Public House to investigate," Jiang Kuai said. "Until I came, there are no useful clues. These people's martial arts are very complicated. They are all Grandmasters. It is too easy to deal with Innate Masters and Acquired Masters. They are so unscrupulous, I am afraid they are not from the martial arts world."
According to the established rules, Grandmasters would not easily deal with Innate Masters and Acquired Masters unless there was a big grudge or there was no other choice. This was the bottom line. They would not touch it unless it was a life and death situation.
This was especially true for the sects in the martial arts world. If one sect's Grandmasters killed another sect's Innate Masters and Acquired Masters, the other sect would definitely retaliate. After all the killing, only the Grandmasters would be left and the sect would be finished.
Both of them were wary of each other, so they wouldn't touch this bottom line.
"Master Xiao Tieying thinks that the imperial court is behind this?" Chu Li asked, "The secret guardians of the imperial house?"
Jiang Kuai said, "Master Xiao Tieying thinks that it might be the secret guardians of the imperial house, or maybe it's a foreign force."
"Hmm …" Chu Li muttered, "Why don't you stay in the Imperial Residence for now? It's safer here. I'll talk to Master Xiao Tieying."
"Alright." Jiang Kuai closed fist saluted.
Chu Li finished the tea in one gulp and put it down before he stood up. "Xue Ling, help me settle Brother Jiang down."
"Yes, Master," Xue replied. "Where are you going, Master?"
"The Secret Guardians Hall." Chu Li scoffed. "I want to ask them face to face if they were the ones who did it!"
"Be careful, Master," Xue Ling said.
Chu Li smiled and waved his hand. He closed fist saluted Jiang Kuai and left the courtyard.
"The Secret Guardians Hall?" Jiang Kuai looked at Xue Ling.
Xue Ling brewed another cup of tea for him. "Master Xiao Tieying is now a secret guardian of the imperial house. The Emperor personally gave you this identity. You just came back from the Secret Guardians Hall."
"Hmm …?" Jiang Kuai was surprised.
He couldn't figure it out. It was hard for him to connect Chu Li with the secret guardians of the imperial house. The difference in their identities was too big.
Xue Ling told her everything that had happened.
Jiang Kuai was amazed. He could imagine the thrilling scene. Killing the secret guardians of the imperial house. Just thinking about it was unbelievable. The Second Lady was too brave.

Chu Li entered the Secret Guardians Hall. The two guards outside were still Dong Qifei and Yang Zongwen.
Chu Li stood in front of the door and frowned as he looked at the two.
Dong Qifei stood motionless like a statue.
Yang Zongwen closed fist saluted.
Chu Li frowned. "Why are you still guarding the door?"
Yang Zongwen said, "? Sergeant said that since we have nothing to do, we'll guard here first. We'll find someone to replace us tomorrow. "
"Didn't I ask you to clean the courtyard?" Chu Li asked.
Yang Zongwen said, "? Sergeant has already sent a few maids to clean up. We don't have to do it. "
Chu Li nodded. "Keep your spirits up. Don't be lazy!"
"Yes," Yang Zongwen quickly responded.
Chu Li turned his head to look at Dong Qifei. Dong Qifei's face was expressionless as he looked straight ahead.
Chu Li scoffed. "Dong Qifei, go and see Prince Cheng. Tell him that we're going to investigate the people in their residence tomorrow. Don't let him leak the news!"
"… Yes," Dong Qifei hesitated for a while and said in a low voice.
Chu Li said, "If you don't do this well, you'll have to guard the door!"
"Yes!" Dong Qifei replied.
Chu Li shook his head and entered the residence.
Yang Zongwen looked at Dong Qifei with sympathy.
Dong Qifei widened his eyes in dissatisfaction. "What are you looking at!"
"Sigh …" Yang Zongwen shook his head. "Elder Dong, you … you're too soft. You listened to Captain Zhang's words. Now you know what's wrong, right?"
Dong Qifei scoffed. "Captain Zhang will not let this go!"
"You really don't know what's going on!" Yang Zongwen kept shaking his head. He felt that Dong Qifei had really walked a dark path and had a foolish spirit. He really could not bear to see him walk down the crooked path. "Think about it carefully. What is Captain Zhang? Has the commander ever smiled at Captain Zhang like this?"
"It's just because of his identity." Dong Qifei was not convinced. "If it wasn't for his identity as the Head Chief, the Commander would not be nice to him!"
"Don't you understand it very well?" Yang Zongwen sighed. "Our current Captain Chu is not someone that Captain Zhang can compare to. There's no benefit in going against Captain Chu. Just wait and see. Captain Zhang will be unlucky sooner or later. He can't win against Captain Chu!"
"Hmph, I don't think so." Dong Qifei pouted. "How long has Captain Zhang been in the residence? How long has Chu Li been?"
"Captain Zhang has been in the residence for many years. He's only a captain. What about Captain Chu?" Yang Zongwen said earnestly. "So, don't mess around. Don't get yourself into trouble!"
"I don't have so many twists and turns. I'll be nice to whoever is nice to me!" Dong Qifei scoffed.
Yang Zongwen said, "Alright, alright. I give up!"
Chu Li heard their conversation clearly and smiled.
Dong Qifei was really stupid but he was easier to control. Someone as smart as Yang Zongwen was not so easy to control. He needed to put in some thought.
He came out of the main hall and closed fist saluted. "Commander, Commander Xu!"
He saw the two of them talking in the main hall.
Hearing his voice, the two of them stopped talking and looked at each other.
Xu Huande scoffed. "What's the matter?!"
"I have something to ask the two commanders!" Chu Li said.
