"Bring it in!" Xu Huande scoffed.
"Yes." Liang strode in. When he saw Chu Li, he paused for a moment, then went to Xu Huande and presented a bamboo tube with both hands.
Xu Huande waved his hand.
? Liang glanced at Chu Li and left.
Xu Huande opened the bamboo tube, took out a few pieces of paper and handed it to Fu Mengshan.
Fu Mengshan looked through the ten pieces of paper one by one. His face darkened, he shook his head and passed it to Xu Huande.
Xu Huande quickly looked through it and looked up at Chu Li.
Chu Li saw his hesitant expression and smiled, "Did I guess it right? Someone from the Secret Guardians Hall did it! "
"Young Chu," Fu Mengshan sighed helplessly.
Chu Li had just entered the Secret Guardians Hall and wanted to use him to search for the disciples of the Holy Church of Light. Then, the people below did this and caused trouble for him!
However, they could not be said to have done anything wrong.
"Young Chu." Fu Mengshan slapped his thigh and sighed, "Don't be angry. The Secret Guardians Hall was meant to contain the High Duke's Public House to prevent them from acting without scruples. In the end, it would be difficult to clean up the mess. With us watching over them, the High Duke's Public House will not act recklessly and bring about their own destruction!"
Chu Li smiled, "Commander, can I take a look at this?"
Xu Huande looked at Fu Mengshan.
Fu Mengshan pondered for a moment and slowly nodded, "Alright, it's okay to take a look, but you have to promise me that you will not touch the people from the Secret Guardians Hall!"
Chu Li scoffed, "Six Protectors of the High Duke's Public House, did they die in vain?"
"They did not expect it to be so serious," Fu Mengshan said, "It was an unintentional mistake."
"Is there any difference between an unintentional mistake and an intentional mistake to the six dead Protectors of the High Duke's Public House?" Chu Li shook his head, "Commander, Commander Xu, I can only say that I will not do it, but I cannot decide what the High Duke's Public House will do. I have to ask Master Xiao! Moreover, even if you don't show it to me, I think I can find out. It's just a matter of time. "
Xu Huande was annoyed. He kept the paper and said coldly, "Chu Li, who do you think you are? You can kill the Secret Guardians whenever you want? If something really happens to them, I'll hold you accountable! "
Chu Li laughed. "Commander Xu, if I don't do anything, how are you going to hold me accountable?"
Xu Huande snorted coldly. "Even if you're the one who ordered him to do so!"
Chu Li asked, "How did Commander Xu know that I was the one who ordered this?"
"If it's something that the House of High Dukes did, you'll have to answer for it!" Xu Huande said coldly, "Don't think that we can't do anything to you. There are many ways to deal with you. Don't force us to do that!"
Chu Li turned his head to look at Fu Mengshan. "Commander, I'd like to request for punishment first!"
"What punishment?" Fu Mengshan asked gently.
Chu Li said, "I can't complete the task given to me by the Commander. With such a huge incident happening in the High Duke's Public House, I can't calm down and investigate the Holy Church of Light. Even if I force myself to, I won't be able to find anything!"
Fu Mengshan's face also darkened.
He stared at Chu Li and said coldly, "Chu Li, are you threatening me?"
Chu Li gave a fist salute. "I dare not! … I'll request for Isolated Cultivation in the Secret Guardians Hall so that I won't be blamed if anything happens to the Secret Guardians! … I didn't see any news. If I'm in Isolated Cultivation, I can't order the High Duke's Public House to do anything. What the High Duke's Public House does has nothing to do with me. Commander Xu, you won't be held accountable! "
"Alright!" Xu Huande sneered. "As long as you imprison yourself in the Secret Guardians Hall, you won't be blamed if anything happens!"
Chu Li smiled. "That's the best!"
"Commander!" Xu Huande scoffed.
Fu Mengshan frowned and looked at Chu Li. "Do you really want to do this?"
Chu Li nodded slowly. "This is the only way to put Commander Xu at ease!"
"That's right!" Xu Huande said.
Fu Mengshan regained his gentle expression and sighed. "You guys … Alright, Chu Li will imprison yourself in your courtyard. For the next ten days, you're not allowed to see anyone!"
"Thank you, Commander!" Chu Li gave a fist salute.
Xu Huande scoffed. "It seems that you're very confident in the High Duke's Public House!"
"Of course!" Chu Li said lightly. "Outsiders think that the High Duke's Public House is weak. This time, I'll let everyone see whether the High Duke's Public House is weak or not! … Commander, Commander Xu, I'll take my leave! "
"Commander, I'll send Chu Li over and stay with him for a few days!" Xu Huande said.
"… You guys …" Fu Mengshan laughed. "Elder Xu, why are you acting like a child!"
"I don't believe that he can really hold it in!" Xu Huande scoffed.
"Alright, alright, we'll do as you say." Fu Mengshan shook his head helplessly and broke into laughter.
Xu Huande turned his head and said, "We'll stay in the same courtyard."
"It's my honor," Chu Li said.
The two of them left the main hall and arrived at the small courtyard.
The small courtyard had been refurbished. It was clean and the furniture had been replaced. The dilapidated feeling was swept away.
Chu Li stood in the small courtyard and looked around. He nodded in satisfaction.
Although it could not be compared to the High Duke's Public House and the Imperial Residence, it was quiet enough. The surrounding air was also fresh. When he channeled the Scripture of Life and Death, spiritual energy surged from all directions. There were many old trees in the Secret Guardians Hall.
"Commander Xu, how about we spar?" Chu Li said.
Xu Huande squinted his eyes and scoffed. "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you with one palm?"
Chu Li smiled. "I have nothing better to do. It's to relieve my boredom."
"Alright," Xu Huande said.
He also wanted to see Chu Li's capabilities. He wanted to know what gave him the confidence to be so arrogant.
"Bang!"
Chu Li threw a punch and Xu Huande threw a palm. The fist and palm energy collided in the air. The surrounding flowerbeds shook as if a strong wind blew past.
"You're quite capable!" Xu Huande frowned.
Chu Li smiled and threw another punch. He was getting more and more familiar with High Duke Lu's fist technique.
"Bang bang bang bang …" The two's fist and palm collided. Their bodies gradually approached each other.
Chu Li's movements were unusually fast while Xu Huande's techniques were exquisite. The two of them fought for twenty moves and it was hard to tell who had the upper hand.
"Satisfying!" Chu Li stopped and closed fist saluted. "Commander Xu is indeed powerful. I'm impressed!"
Xu Huande's face darkened. He was a little depressed.
He initially thought that he could suppress Chu Li. After the fight, he realized that the depth and purity of Chu Li's inner energy was far beyond his imagination. It was not an undeserved reputation. He might not be able to suppress him!
"Commander Xu, let's stop here. We'll come again tomorrow." Chu Li smiled. "Let's limit it to twenty moves. How about that?"
"… Very well," Xu Huande scoffed.
Chu Li closed fist saluted and entered the east wing. He left the main bedroom for Xu Huande.
The sun was setting. When Xu Huande was meditating, Chu Li disappeared in a flash.
The next moment, he appeared in a waterside pavilion at Snow Crescent Lake.
Su Ru was dressed in a loose white robe. She was lying on her side on the couch with a book in her hand.
The light in the waterside pavilion was bright and gentle. It made her look as beautiful as a flower.
Seeing Chu Li suddenly appear, Su Ru rolled her eyes and rolled her eyes. "You finally remembered!"
Chu Li smiled. "I've been too busy lately. How are things here?"
"It's alright. The days are peaceful." Su Ru nodded. "You wouldn't visit me without a reason. Tell me, what's the matter?"
