"That's enough." Lu Yu Rong waved her hand and said lightly, "Is the Princess awake?"
"The Princess is taking a stroll," Chief Zhu answered.
Lu Yurong nodded lightly, her steps were graceful and graceful, like a willow in the wind.
Leng Ying asked, "Where's the Head Chief? Is he still in seclusion?"
Chief Zhu answered, "Not yet."
"How long is he going to be in seclusion?" Leng Ying pouted.
Chief Zhu smiled bitterly. "How would we know what the Head Chief is thinking?"
Leng Ying said, "I think he just wants to slack off!"
Lu Yu Rong chuckled, "Xiao Ying is right. He's just slacking off. He thinks that there are too many things to do in the Imperial Residence, and that it disturbs his training. Now, he's thrown everything away and gone into seclusion. His martial arts must have improved by another level.
Chief Zhu's smile became even more bitter. "That's because the residence has been quiet recently. If something really happened and the Head Chief was not around, it would be a mess. … Oh right, Young Master Meng Jian came to the residence yesterday and wants to see the Head Chief."
"Meng Jian? He came?" Lu Yurong raised her brows.
"Yes, Young Master Meng also wants to see the Princess. The Princess does not want to see him," Chief Zhu said quietly.
"That temper of hers! He is a disciple of the Amethyst Mountain after all. How can she not see him?"
"Yes." Chief Zhu nodded.
"Amethyst Mountain? The Amethyst Mountain of the four major sects?" Leng Ying asked curiously.
"Yes, yes." Chief Zhu nodded.
Leng Ying said, "She should see him."
Chief Zhu sighed. "The Princess will not go back on her words. As Scribes, we will not be able to change her mind. Lady Lu and Lady Ying, please persuade her."
"I don't care about these things. Did you receive some benefits from him?" Lu Yurong glanced at him.
"Ouch! I am innocent. Lady Lu, I just feel that the Princess' actions are too offensive. Young Master Meng's identity is not normal. He cannot be offended like this. "Chief Zhu cried.
"You really have the time to worry. Siao Shi is not an idiot." Lu Yurong smiled.
Chief Zhu quickly said, "Yes, yes, I am being a busybody!"
The five of them walked on the cobbled path, and there was a turn in front of them.
As soon as they turned the corner, they saw a handsome young man in a blue robe walking with his hands behind his back. His pace was slow and calm, and his expression was calm.
"Young Master Meng!" Chief Zhu hurriedly said.
Meng Zhi closed fist saluted, he calmly looked at Lu Yurong's face and nodded lightly.
"Lady Lu, this is Young Master Meng Jian, a disciple of the Amethyst Mountain," Chief Zhu quickly introduced.
Lu Yurong glared at Chief Zhu.
Chief Zhu quickly smiled apologetically.
"Miss Lu, Meng Jian greets you!" Meng Jian closed fist saluted and smiled at Leng Ying.
Leng Ying curtsied back.
Lu Yurong said, "Master Meng, what a coincidence!"
She had seen through Meng Jian's ploy in one glance and was displeased.
Meng Jian smiled and said, "I have long heard of Lady Lu's great name and specially waited here. Please forgive my impetuousness, Lady Lu!"
Seeing that he was being honest, Lu Yu Rong nodded slightly, "It's just a lowly name, it's not worth mentioning. May I know why Young Master Meng is here?"
"I originally wanted to visit my younger brother but I didn't expect him to be gone." Meng Jian sighed and looked sad. He sighed melancholically, "We brothers haven't seen each other for ten years but we're already separated forever!"
Lu Yurong said, "My condolences, Young Master Meng. As a member of the martial arts world, it's inevitable."
"Yes." Meng Jian slowly said, "As his elder brother, I have to avenge him to comfort his soul in heaven!"
"Hmm, Young Master Meng, please take your time to investigate. I'll take my leave first!"
She left gracefully and Leng Ying quickly followed. Before entering the Moon Gate, she turned her head to take a look.
"Cousin Sister, he's still staring at you. He must be infatuated with you!" Leng Ying laughed softly.
Lu Yurong said, "I'm wearing a veil, he can't see my face clearly. What nonsense!"
"You didn't see his gaze! He's definitely interested in you, Cousin Sister! I think he's stronger than Head Chief Chu! "
"Oh —? In what way?" Lu Yurong laughed.
"Look at how gentle and refined he is. He's not arrogant just because he's a disciple of a noble family." Leng Ying wrinkled her nose and scoffed. "He's not as arrogant as Chu Li!"
She always had a grudge against Chu Li and would take the opportunity to insult him.
Lu Yurong shook her head and smiled. "Your eyes …"
"What do you think, Cousin Sister? Is he not as good as Chu Li?" Leng Ying asked.
"You can't judge a person by their appearance. Lu Yurong said, "He looks gentle and refined, but deep in his bones, he is arrogant and looks down on everyone in the world."
"Is that so? But he's a disciple of the Amethyst Mountain. He has the right to be arrogant, right?" Leng Ying was surprised.
"He's a disciple of the Amethyst Mountain but is a disciple from the four major sects the number one in the world? Not necessarily!" Lu Yurong said.
"That's true." Leng Ying trusted her cousin and smiled. "He's definitely here to cause trouble for Chu Li! … Two fierce beasts in the same mountain, they're bound to fight, right? "
She pursed her lips and smiled. "Now that's interesting. Chu Li should be taught a lesson!"
Lu Yurong kept walking. "That's not necessarily true."
"They can't fight?" Leng Ying asked.
Lu Yurong said, "Chu Li might not be taught a lesson. Alright, we're here."
Chief Zhu pretended to be deaf and did not say a word. He sighed in relief when he saw the Tianshu Courtyard. He closed fist saluted and left.
Siao Shi was wearing a white robe. She was strolling in the courtyard. Her bright eyes looked at the sky from time to time as if she was deep in thought.
Xue Ling and Yang Xu stood at the side, serving tea and snacks. They did not know what Siao Shi was doing.
Seeing Lu Yurong and Yang Xu came in, Siao Shi said, "What are you here for again?"
Lu Yurong did not hold back. "When is Chu Li coming back?"
"How would I know!" Siao Shi said.
Lu Yurong waved her hand, indicating that Xue Ling and Yang Xu did not have to be so polite.
She came to the stone table and sat down. "I want to settle the score with Chu Li!"
"Did he trick you again? Or do you want to trick him again?" Siao Shi said.
"He borrowed a master from me. One of them is heavily injured and needs to rest for a month. I'm here to ask him how he wants to compensate me!" Lu Yurong scoffed.
"How do you want to compensate him?" Siao Shi asked.
Lu Yurong said, "Follow me to the High Duke's Public House."
"A disciple of the Holy Church of Light. He has agreed." Siao Shi said.
Lu Yurong shook her head. "Two!"
"Either one, or he has to find a way to heal that person's injuries within three days. These are the only two conditions. Pick one and you can't change it." Siao Shi said.
"He can really come back!" Lu Yurong scoffed.
She knew Chu Li's Light-body Technique. She did not believe that he could be trapped by the Secret Guardians Hall.
Siao Shi said, "You don't have to worry about this. Have a safe trip. I won't be seeing you out!"
"What about Meng Jian? This is a big problem. The Amethyst Mountain!" Lu Yurong said.
"You have a way?" Siao Shi frowned at her.
