Chu Li closed fist saluted and thanked the two cranes for their kindness. He then bid farewell to the two little cranes.
The two little cranes rubbed him with their long beaks reluctantly.
Chu Li patted their heads and carried the Spirit Rabbits in one hand and Siao Shi in the other. Then, he disappeared.
The two of them appeared in the gazebo of the Island of Symphony. The breeze was cool and moist.
"Do you want to eat these two Spirit Rabbits?" “
"Try to eat them." “
"Then send them to the kitchen and let them cook."
"How about we roast them ourselves?"
"… Alright."
Siao Shi ordered and soon, someone brought charcoal and a stove.
A plump and fair kitchen maid brought the two rabbits to cook.
She returned quickly and said embarrassedly, "Lady, the kitchen knife can't cut the rabbit's skin."
"Oh …" Siao Shi turned to look at Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled and said, "Take my sword."
He passed the Modesty Sword to her.
"… Yes." The kitchen maid hesitated for a moment before taking the sword and left.
"Looks like it really is a Spirit Beast. Even a rabbit is so powerful."
"I wonder what good it will do if we eat it?"
"It's just rabbit meat, what good can it do?" Siao Shi smiled, "It's not a Spirit Herb." “
The kitchen maid was efficient. She quickly brought the two cooked rabbits over and passed the Modesty Sword to them.
They started the fire and the two of them personally watched the heat.
Chu Li had some experience in roasting but it was far from the kitchen maid's.
Soon, the two of them passed it to the kitchen maid and watched her roast it.
Soon, the aroma filled the air. When the two of them ate it, they felt that it was tender and smooth. It was really delicious. The kitchen maid's cooking was also amazing.
Chu Li tasted it carefully. Soon, a warm current flowed out from his stomach and circulated around his body. His whole body was steaming hot. This warm current circulated around his organs and strengthened them.
Ever since he used the Heavenly Demonic Power, he had been feeling slightly hungry. No matter how much food he ate, he would not be full. After eating this Spirit Rabbit, he felt full.
Siao Shi said, "There's nothing good about it."
Chu Li smiled, "It's not a miracle pill. It won't have such a miraculous effect. Lady, you should practice your breathing technique more. I'll go back first."
"Go!" Siao Shi waved her hand, "Go back to the Fairy's Capital first. Come back at night."
"Alright," Chu Li agreed.
He appeared outside the Divine Capital in a flash.
Last night, he had spent the night in the open at Spirit Cranes Peak. Then, he had arrived at the Secret Guardians Hall with a dusty aura.
When the two guards saw him, they cupped their fists in greeting and did not stop him.
Chu Li went straight to the main hall where Xu Huande was reading through dossiers.
Seeing him enter, Xu Huande put down the dossier and glared at him coldly. "You're living a free and unfettered life. As a secret guardian, you're not thinking about serving the imperial court. Instead, you're neglecting your duties for personal reasons. You're really …"
Chu Li gave a fist salute. "How have you been, Commander Xu?"
"Not good!" Xu Huande scoffed. "You've investigated the matter regarding Imperial Inspector Hu?"
Chu Li sat opposite him. "He died at the hands of the Holy Church of Light."
"Hmm?" Xu Huande frowned. "Or the Holy Church of Light? How could there be such a coincidence? Don't tell me it's because there's no proof that they're the culprits? "
Chu Li said, "I took a piece of cloth from Imperial Inspector Hu's hands. Based on the cloth, I found a disciple of the Holy Church of Light. I've already killed that guy, so we can investigate whether he's a disciple of the Holy Church of Light or not!"
"How dare they!" Xu Huande's face darkened. "They dared to kill an official of the imperial court!"
Chu Li said, "Why did they want to kill Imperial Inspector Hu? This has become a mystery. Both of them are dead, but I didn't get anything out of them. The disciples of the Holy Church of Light won't be able to get a confession out of them!"
"I'll send someone over to investigate. If it's true, you've done a great service." Xu Huande said in a low voice. "The Holy Church of Light! Are you still planning to drag this on? "
"I'll go back to the residence and settle down. I'll start investigating the Holy Church of Light!"
Xu Huande hesitated for a while and said slowly, "I heard that King An's martial arts was crippled and he was severely injured. He's infertile now."
Chu Li frowned. "How did this spread?"
"Seems like it's true." Xu Huande shook his head and sighed. "Then the Imperial Residence of King An will be in trouble. You have to be careful!"
"What's the matter?" Chu Li scoffed.
"I don't have to say much. You're a smart person. You should be able to guess." Xu Huande frowned. "He's infertile and King An doesn't have any descendants. This means that his branch is gone. King An won't have the chance to inherit the throne."
Chu Li said, "That might not be the case. The imperial physician is highly skilled. He'll have a way."
"Since it's related to his descendants, the imperial physician won't be able to do anything. Without an heir, he won't be able to inherit the throne." Xu Huande shook his head and sighed.
"He can adopt an heir from a branch."
"After all, he's not his biological son. There'll be endless trouble. In short, King An is considered to have withdrawn from the fight for the throne." Xu Huande sighed.
Chu Li said, "There are benefits to this too. He won't be feared by others and won't be suppressed."
"There are benefits, but he'll also be looked down upon. He'll inevitably be bullied. Two days ago, Lady Leng Qiu was beaten up again." Xu Huande said.
Chu Li's face darkened. "Who?"
Xu Huande said, "Who else?"
"Leng Tao!" Chu Li gritted his teeth and scoffed.
Xu Huande nodded slowly.
Chu Li said, "I'll go to the Imperial Residence of King Cheng tomorrow!"
"… You won't beat up Leng Tao, right?"
"So what if I beat him up!" Chu Li scoffed. "You should seek justice for Lady Leng Qiu. A man bullying a lady who doesn't know martial arts. This kind of person must be beaten up!"
"Don't forget about King Cheng," Xu Huande said, "King An is no longer the King An of the past. King Cheng won't be afraid of him anymore."
Chu Li pondered. "Beat up Leng Tao and investigate the Imperial Residence of King Cheng at the same time. Killing two birds with one stone!"
"That's a good idea." Xu Huande smiled. "It won't attract attention."
Chu Li stood up and closed fist saluted. "Then I'll take my leave!"
"Go. Don't forget to go to the Imperial Residence of King Cheng tomorrow." Xu Huande smiled. "But your two subordinates haven't returned yet."
"They'll be back tomorrow." Chu Li said.
"Very good." Xu Huande nodded in satisfaction.
Chu Li returned to the Imperial Residence of King An.
Just as he returned to his courtyard, Leng Qiu and Leng Qing rushed over. Behind them, a few maids ran in while panting.
Leng Qiu pouted. After entering the courtyard, she sat in front of Chu Li. "Head Chief, you have to stand up for me!"
Chu Li looked at her face. There were no injuries.
"Did Leng Tao hit someone again?" Chu Li asked.
Leng Qiu said hatefully, "He slapped me once. He told you to hit me back if you had the guts."
"He grew the guts," Chu Li said.
"Isn't it because everyone saw that Father's martial arts was crippled? They think he's easy to bully!" Leng Qiu scoffed. "What a bunch of vile people! Petty people! "
Chu Li looked at Leng Qing.
Leng Qing wore a light purple gown. She was cold and indifferent.
Leng Qing said, "After Father's martial arts was crippled, everyone's attitude changed. Some took pity, some mocked. Anyway, everything changed! … Head Chief, do you have any ideas? "
Chu Li shook his head. "His Royal Highness is the backbone of the Imperial Residence. Now that His Royal Highness has suffered, the Imperial Residence will definitely suffer. But it's okay. His Royal Highness will recover his martial arts very soon."
"It's not easy to recover," Leng Qing said faintly. "I heard that Father can no longer have children. It's impossible for us to have a younger brother."
Chu Li remained silent.
Leng Qing said, "This is the key."
