Meng Jian kept looking at Xu Ning.
As a disciple of the Amethyst Mountain, he naturally knew about the Titanium Temple.
The disciples of the Titanium Temple were all detached from the mortal world. They were carefree and only lived for one purpose in this world — to cultivate and become a Buddha.
Everything they did was for cultivation. The Ten Lifetimes of Buddhahood would allow them to become a Buddha sooner or later and enter the Titanium Temple in the Thirtieth Heaven. It was said that the difference between the Titanium Temple there and the Titanium Temple here was like the difference between the Fairy's Capital and a village in the countryside.
The disciples of the Titanium Temple usually did not care about worldly affairs. Even if they stepped into the mortal world, it was only to train their state of mind and for cultivation. They would not lust for riches and glory.
Who would have thought that Xu Ning would serve the Prince's Mansion?
Xu Ning suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Almsgiver Meng, allow me to report to His Royal Highness."
"Please," said Meng Jian.
Xu Ning pushed open the door to the Cultivation Courtyard. A moment later, he bowed with pressed palms. "Almsgiver Meng, His Royal Highness requests your presence."
Meng Jian stepped into the Cultivation Courtyard.
King An was dressed in a purple robe. He stood in the middle of the courtyard with his hands behind his back and looked at Meng Jian.
A faint smile hung on his handsome face. His gaze was calm and his body exuded a peaceful aura. Meng Jian suspected that the person in front of him was not a Royal Highness but a Buddhist monk.
Meng Jian closed fist saluted. "Meng Jian greets His Royal Highness."
"Young Master Meng, you don't have to be so courteous. You are not an outsider. Please take a seat." King An pointed at the stone table beside him.
"Yes," said Meng Jian.
Both of them sat at the stone table. Xu Ning stood not far away, motionless like a tree.
Meng Jian glanced at Xu Ning and felt strange. Xu Ning was a disciple of the Titanium Temple. His status was not ordinary. How could he lower himself and call himself a Scribe?
"His Royal Highness, I would like to ask how my brother died," said Meng Jian slowly.
King An frowned. "Are you sure he is dead?"
Meng Jian nodded.
King An said, "Actually, he left the Imperial Residence on his own. I didn't let him leave the Imperial Residence. After that, there was no news of him. I sent people to investigate, but there were no clues. I really don't know what happened to him. It seems like he was killed …"
He sighed and shook his head, "Meng Zhi is a rare talent, he helped me a lot, what a pity!"
Meng Jian asked, "Did you have any enemies when you were alive?"
"As the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Residence, it's inevitable for him to offend people." King An frowned and said, "But if we're talking about enemies, they probably wouldn't go as far as to kill him."
"Does Younger Brother have an enemy?" asked Meng Jian.
Prince An pondered for a moment, and finally said, "I really don't have any enemies. It's just some ordinary small matters, it's not worth it to fight to the death."
Meng Jian replied, "There must be some. Why don't Your Royal Highness speak frankly?"
"He had some conflicts with the chief steward of the mansion, but it was all official business." Prince An shook his head and said, "It was also under my orders. I asked him to suppress the Head Chief, but he was taught a lesson by the Head Chief."
"Head Chief? I would like to meet this Head Chief." Meng Jian furrowed his brows.
King An looked at Xu Ning.
Xu Ning pressed his palms together and bowed. "Your Royal Highness, the Head Chief has been in isolated cultivation in the Secret Guardians Hall for half a month now."
"Oh, he's now a secret guardian of the imperial house." King An smiled. "Young Master Meng, you mustn't offend him."
"… Then I would like to wait for this chief steward in the manor."
"Of course you're welcome." King An smiled. "With a master like you around, I can cultivate with peace of mind. As for the Head Chief, Xu Ning, send someone to find out when the Head Chief will return to the Residence!"
"Your Royal Highness, I heard that the Head Chief is in isolated cultivation and won't see anyone." Xu Ning pressed his palms together.
"That's true. The Head Chief never sees anyone when he's cultivating." King An nodded.
Xu Ning slowly said, "The news from the Secret Guardians Hall is that the Head Chief has been imprisoned by the Secret Guardians Hall. It looks like he's in isolated cultivation, but he's actually grounded."
King An frowned. "Did he offend the Secret Guardians Hall again?"
"The Princess killed two secret guardians of the imperial house. How can the Secret Guardians Hall be friendly to the Head Chief?" Xu Ning said.
"Him … He's arrogant and presumptuous. With that temper of his, do you think he'll get anything good from the Secret Guardians Hall?" King An scoffed.
Meng Jian could hear King An's dissatisfaction towards the Head Chief.
Meng Jian's mind raced but his expression did not change. He calmly said, "It's alright. I have nothing to do down the mountain anyway. I can take a stroll around the Fairy's Capital."
"You don't have to be restrained in the Imperial Residence. Just do as you please. If there's anything, just look for me." King An said.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness," Meng Jian said.
"It's not easy for the disciples of the Amethyst Mountain to leave the mountain. Young Master Meng must be a genius to be able to leave the mountain. I wonder what plans Young Master Meng has?" King An said slowly.
"I wanted to meet my brother first. I didn't expect him to meet with an accident. I'll avenge him first before anything else." Meng Jian said.
King An eagerly said, "How about coming to the Imperial Residence to help? Although I won't have as much freedom, it'll be easier to cultivate. You'll be able to come into contact with masters from all over the world in the Fairy's Capital. You'll be able to broaden your horizons and it'll be beneficial to your cultivation! "
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." Meng Jian was a little surprised. He did not expect King An to recruit him so straightforwardly. Meng Jian closed fist saluted and smiled. "We'll talk about it after I've avenged myself. I have no other thoughts for now."
"Alright. The Amethyst Mountain has always been mysterious. Once Young Master Meng's identity is revealed, everyone will want to meet you. "King An nodded.
"I'll keep my identity a secret," Meng Jian said.
King An smiled.
Meng Jian closed fist saluted. "I'll take my leave now. I won't disturb Your Royal Highness' cultivation anymore."
"Good, good. When I'm out of seclusion, we'll have a good chat." King An closed fist saluted.
"Yes." Meng Jian stood up and left.
Xu Ning sent him out of the hospital. When he returned, he saw King An's joyful expression.
King An smiled. "Revered Sir, he's suspicious of Chu Li, right?"
"Yes. This person is stubborn and conceited. He won't let Head Chief Chu go." Xu Ning nodded.
"Hehe, no matter how smart Chu Li is, he won't know that I'll have such a plan! … Speaking of killing with a borrowed knife, he still needs to practice. My technique is the true killing with a borrowed knife. It's invisible and traceless. "
Xu Ning smiled faintly and declined to comment.
He did not think that Chu Li was ignorant. Even if he knew, he would not dare to kill King An himself.
The key was not King An. As long as the Emperor was here, Chu Li would not dare to kill King An.
He found it interesting. Would King An kill Chu Li, or would Chu Li kill King An in the end?
To be able to witness this show, his trip to the Imperial Residence was not in vain.
—
In the courtyard of the Secret Guardians Hall, Chu Li and Xu Huande were engaged in a verbal battle.
"Chu Li, I have a piece of news to tell you in advance. Just in case you're caught off guard," Xu Huande said.
"Thank you very much, Commander Xu." Chu Li asked, "What news?"
"Meng Jian from the Amethyst Mountain has arrived at the Fairy's Capital. He'll probably enter the Imperial Residence of King An today. You should know how powerful a disciple from the Amethyst Mountain is, right?"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
It's finally here!
"There are no two suns in the sky. You're the Head Chief with a high position and authority. However, in terms of martial arts, you might not be better than Meng Jian, "Xu Huande said.
"Why do you think so? We'll only know after we fight, right?" Chu Li asked.
"If a disciple from the Amethyst Mountain wants to descend the mountain, it's the same as the Titanium Temple. If Meng Jian could descend the mountain, of course, he possesses an antique martial art. You're not on good terms with King An. King An will probably use him to deal with you. "
Chu Li smiled.
Xu Huande said, "When that time comes, the Secret Guardians Hall will be your shield!"
