PS: My sincere apologies for being late. I clenched my teeth and forced myself to complete six chapters in the end. Without everyone's support, I might have given up today. Thanks again!
Chu Li poured a cup of wine for Lin Yuanshan. "Lin Fengzhao didn't bring any Protectors with him?"
"The few of them." Lin Yuanshan pointed at a few scribes sitting nearby. "They are all Protectors, but they are disguised as scribes to avoid attracting attention. Fortunately, the House of High Duke's territory is peaceful. It was just a false alarm."
Chu Li smiled. "If these treasures are snatched away by someone else, that would really be …"
Lin Yuanshan smiled bitterly and said, "I've been on tenterhooks along the way. I didn't even dare to relax for a moment. I couldn't even sleep well!"
Chu Li said, "They know that they can't provoke Master Xiao Tieying during his wedding, so they've all become well-behaved. Otherwise, it's hard to say if these two carriages of treasures would be snatched away!"
Lin Yuanshan smiled and said, "Eldest Young Master is really good at managing the residence. It's so peaceful."
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "I'm sure Lin Fengzhao has heard about the disturbance that happened a while ago. That's why he's so well-behaved now that the storm has just passed. He's not usually this calm, so Lin Fengzhao should be careful."
"I see." Lin Yuanshan nodded.
Amidst the clamor of the crowd, the Eldest Young Master ended the ceremonial ceremony and began to toast to everyone. The hall became more and more lively.
During this period, Chu Li would wake up from time to time and walk around the Public House to see if there were any rascals asking for trouble.
After walking one round, he returned to the table and continued to talk to Lin Yuanshan, urging him to drink.
Chu Li could see through Lin Yuanshan's thoughts, so he went along with the flow of the wine. Even though Lin Yuanshan was shrewd and careful, he couldn't help but let down his guard and call Chu Li his brother.

After the prosperity, the Public House seemed empty.
Chu Li bid farewell to Siao Shi and Siao Tieying. He left the Public House and returned to the Fairy's Capital with Lin Yuanshan.
The High Duke's Public House could not help but let these people travel alone. If something really happened, they would not be able to escape responsibility. Chu Li's escort was the best solution.
Early in the morning, Chu Li and the others left the Public House and headed towards the Fairy's Capital.
It would only take them two days to reach the Fairy's Capital.
The morning air was fresh and pleasant, and his mood was inexplicably refreshed.
Chu Li and Lin Yuanshan walked side by side.
"Brother Chu, there's actually no need to escort us." Lin Yuanshan smiled. "The High Duke's Public House is very safe. Nothing will happen. Moreover, we don't have any treasures now, so we won't get into any trouble."
The two of them were now addressing each other as brothers. Lin Yuanshan's relationship with Chu Li had deepened after getting drunk yesterday.
Chu Li shook his head.
Lin Yuanshan smiled and said, "What is Brother Xiao worried about?"
Chu Li said, "People of the martial arts world are the least afraid of death. In order to take revenge on the High Duke's Public House, they would rather perish together. During the wedding, I caught more than ten martial arts masters. They all had good cultivation levels, but they did not want to live. They wanted to sacrifice themselves to assassinate Master Xiao!"
"Sigh … These martial artists are too hot-blooded." Lin Yuanshan shook his head and sighed, "I do admire it, but it's a pity that it can't be used in the right way. How good would it be if it could be used to kill enemies?"
"That's right." Chu Li nodded. "These people are very stubborn. I admire them very much, but I can't persuade them."
"How did Brother Xiao deal with it?"
"Cripple his martial arts."
Lin Yuanshan looked like he could not bear to see it. "Crippling their martial arts is actually quite serious. Without martial arts, it's over!"
"If I don't cripple their martial arts, I can only take their lives." Chu Li looked helpless. "I really can't bear to kill these people. But if I don't kill them, the damage they cause is shocking. If it's not handled well, the Protectors of the High Duke's Public House might die."
"That's true." Lin Yuanshan nodded.
Chu Li said, "Crippling their martial arts is considered good. If they want to recover, they can slowly train. Even if they can't, at least they'll be stronger than normal martial arts masters."
"They're not young anymore. It'll be hard for them to return to their peak."
"Oh right, Brother Lin, you've been in the Imperial House for a long time. Do you know of any way to recover martial arts?"
"About that …" Lin Yuanshan thought for a while and shook his head. "I don't think there's a way. Everyone knows that it's easy to save people, but it's hard to recover martial arts."
"Can the Emperor do it?" Chu Li asked. "The Emperor is an Enlightened Master."
Lin Yuanshan smiled. "An Enlightened Master is just a martial arts master. He's not an Enlightened Master."
Chu Li was secretly happy. "I heard that an Enlightened Master has an incredible divine power. They can see through everything and nothing can hide!"
"Everyone doesn't understand an Enlightened Master. It's just a rumor." Lin Yuanshan shook his head. "Actually, it's not that strange. I've always been by the Emperor's side and I didn't notice anything different about him."
"The Emperor must be very powerful, right?" Chu Li asked.
Lin Yuanshan laughed. "The Emperor is like someone who doesn't practice martial arts. He's very kind. However, no one dares to be careless. The Emperor is usually kind, but once he makes a mistake, he'll be ruthless."
"Being with the Emperor is like being with a tiger." Chu Li laughed.
Lin Yuanshan shook his head and laughed, but he didn't say anything.
Chu Li said, "I'm very curious about an Enlightened Master. Unfortunately, I don't have the fortune to stay by the Emperor's side."
Lin Yuanshan laughed. "Actually, from what I see, the Emperor is more like a normal person. He doesn't look like a martial arts master."
"An Enlightened Master." Chu Li said.
Lin Yuanshan said, "All these years, the Emperor hasn't used any martial arts. From what I know, an Enlightened Master can be possessed by an Enlightened Master. They aren't Enlightened Masters themselves!"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "Possessed by an Enlightened Master?"
Chu Li had always wanted to befriend Lin Yuanshan because he wanted to find out the secrets of an Enlightened Master. Moreover, having someone close to him in the Imperial House would be very beneficial to him in the future.
Lin Yuanshan was a cautious person. He was the only one who could use the effects of alcohol, the Omniscient Mirror, and the right time to open up his guard. If he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult for him to communicate with him.
More importantly, Lin Yuanshan had a good heart. He wasn't a cold-hearted person. He could be trusted and cooperated with.
Lin Yuanshan said, "The four major sects have this secret skill. Actually, it's just a fake Enlightened Master. Once they use the Enlightened Master's Possession, the Enlightened Master will control them. After that, it will cause damage to their body. Most of these secret skills have a very strong backlash. They can only use it a few times in their lifetime. However, an Enlightened Master can control an Enlightened Master. There are no side effects after using the Enlightened Master's Possession."
"This is an Enlightened Master?" Chu Li was shocked.
Lin Yuanshan laughed. "Isn't that enough? Once an Enlightened Master's Possession is done, no one will be able to defeat him. Moreover, some Enlightened Master's divine powers can be used as well. One person can fight against an entire country. This is an Enlightened Master! "
Lin Yuanshan said with a look of fascination.
Chu Li laughed. "Brother Lin, you want to become an Enlightened Master too?"
"It's impossible for me." Lin Yuanshan shook his head. "Not everyone can become an Enlightened Master. Brother Chu, since you're so curious, you want to become an Enlightened Master too, right?"
"Yes." Chu Li admitted.
He knew that honesty was the best way to get along with Lin Yuanshan. Lin Yuanshan hated lies.
Lin Yuanshan frowned. "Difficult! Difficult! "
Chu Li laughed. "Brother Lin, do you have any ideas?"
"Cultivating the four major sects' martial arts can help you reach the Enlightened Master's Boundary." Lin Yuanshan pondered. "But it's getting harder. Other than that, there seems to be no other way."
