"This concerns the fate of the Imperial Residence. How can I not worry?" Leng Qing said.
Chu Li said, "Lady Qing, don't worry. It will get better."
"When will it get better?" Leng Qing scoffed, "Father is becoming more and more eccentric. If this goes on, the Imperial Residence will not get better. It will only get worse. Everyone will suffer."
"That's right. There will still be people like Leng Tao!" Leng Qiu nodded.
Chu Li said, "Lady Qing, don't worry. I will avenge you and beat up Leng Tao again!"
Leng Qiu smiled and then asked worriedly, "You dare to beat him again?"
"Why not!" Chu Li smiled, "If I beat him once, I can beat him again!"
"It's better not to cause trouble. If the Imperial Residence collapses, everyone's fate will be miserable!" Leng Qing said.
"It's not that bad. Compared to the commoners, you are royalty. No matter how bad you are, you are still the daughters of the Imperial Family. "Chu Li smiled.
"A phoenix on a carriage is worse than a chicken." Leng Qing shook her head.
Chu Li smiled helplessly.
Leng Qing had always been pessimistic about the affairs of the world, and there were faint signs of her being world-weary.
Leng Qiu asked, "Head Chief, when are you going to beat up Leng Tao?"
"Tomorrow," Chu Li said.
"Can I go with you?" Leng Qiu asked excitedly.
Chu Li pondered and nodded, "It's good to go."
He wanted to avenge Leng Qiu and boost the morale of the Imperial Residence.
Leng Qiu was overjoyed, "Thank you, Head Chief!"
Leng Qing was worried, "It's not wise to provoke Leng Tao now. Imperial Uncle Cheng will not let this go!"
"Don't worry, I have an idea."
"Don't fail to avenge him and get beaten up by him," Leng Qing said, "There are many people who will kick a man when he is down."
The Imperial Family was the most ruthless. Brothers were all rivals. There was no love between them. Instead, they fought to the death. Once there was a chance to beat him, they would not let it go. They would not let her father get up again. They would think of ways to defeat him.
Thinking about this, she could not help but feel sad. Outsiders saw the Imperial Family as glorious but who would know that it was so dangerous? Living in the Imperial Family was not necessarily a comfortable life. Fear was the most common thing.
"Big — Sister —!" Leng Qiu said, "I want to beat him up, the last time was enough to vent my anger!"
Chu Li smiled and said, "Lady Qiu, if you want to vent your anger, you'll have to cultivate and hit him yourself."
"Me?" Leng Qiu shook her head. "My aptitude is not good enough."
Leng Qiu sighed and looked at Leng Qing helplessly. "I want to cultivate too!"
Chu Li remained silent.
There were many spirit pills in the Imperial Residence, but she was a girl after all, so they might not be willing to let her use them. If she was a boy, King An would have begged the Emperor to give her some spirit pills to make up for her natural endowments.
Even if he couldn't turn her into a genius, he could at least make up for it a little so that she wouldn't have to stop practicing martial arts.
"Head Chief, His Royal Highness has invited you." Zheng Lide's voice came from outside.
Chu Li replied, "Alright, I understand. I'll head over right away."
"His Highness is in the training courtyard."
"Yes."
Leng Qiu and Leng Qing stood up and bade farewell.
Before leaving, Leng Qing reminded, "Don't tell them that we were here, or else mother and the others will nag again."
Chu Li smiled and nodded.

Chu Li pushed open the door to the training courtyard. There were only King An and Xu Ning in the courtyard.
Xu Ning stood in the corner to avoid attention.
King An sat beside a stone table and looked at him calmly. He pointed at the stone bench beside the table.
Chu Li sat opposite him. "Your Royal Highness."
"You've just returned to the Imperial Residence. Did you hear the rumors outside?" King An's expression was calm as if all the grudges were written off.
Chu Li nodded. "Everyone doesn't think that Your Royal Highness will be able to seize the throne."
"Hmph!" King An sneered and said lightly, "A bunch of short-sighted people! … What do you think? "
"What did the imperial physician say?" Chu Li asked.
King An said, "It can be cured."
Chu Li looked at Xu Ning.
Xu Ning was frowning and meditating. He was motionless.
Chu Li smiled. "Can this kind of injury be cured?"
"The imperial physician's medical skills are the best in the world. With the spirit pills, it won't be a problem to cure my injury. It's not like what the rumors say."
Chu Li stared at him.
King An was shrewd, but he had a habit that was not easily noticed.
When he lied, his left pinky would jump twice. If he did not have the Omniscient Mirror, he would not be able to see it.
His kidneys could not be cured. It seemed that he would really lose his heirs. Chu Li was really ruthless this time. It was really wonderful!
Chu Li said, "It seems that someone is purposely spreading this rumor! … Their intentions should be put to death! "
"That's right!" King An said coldly. "Their intentions should be put to death!"
Chu Li said, "What orders do you have for me, Your Royal Highness?"
"It's about the Amethyst Mountain. … That Geng Huarong, kill him!"
"Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid that I can't kill him. He's hiding in the Amethyst Mountain. I can't just barge in and kill him."
"You're smarter than others. Just think of a way to lure him out and kill him!"
"… Alright, I'll try."
"After it's done, I'll give you a treasure."
"Treasure?" Chu Li was surprised.
King An said lightly, "I've made a set of flying knives. It's forged from meteorites. It's indestructible."
Chu Li smiled. "Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"
It seemed that King An had the intention to win him over. He even used such a method.
"Go." King An waved his hand. "I'll leave everything in the Imperial Residence to you. I need to focus on cultivation and try to recover my martial arts as soon as possible!"
"Yes." Chu Li closed fist saluted and stood up.
After Chu Li slowly left, the Cultivation Courtyard returned to silence. King An sneered.
Xu Ning said, "Your Royal Highness, are you really going to give flying knives to the Head Chief?"
"Hmph, so what if I give it to him!" King An said lightly, "As long as I can kill Geng Huarong!"
Xu Ning did not say anything else. He pressed his palms together and fell silent.

The next morning, Chu Li was deep in thought in the courtyard after he had his breakfast. Chief Zhu's voice came from outside. "Head Chief, two Secret Guardians from the Imperial House are requesting an audience."
"Mm, let them wait in the main hall." Chu Li said.
When he arrived at the main hall, Dong Qifei and Yang Zongwen were already waiting. They closed fist saluted and welcomed him.
Chu Li waved his hand. "We're going to the Imperial Residence of King Cheng today."
"Yes!" Both of them were excited.
They had long wanted to go to the Imperial Residence of King Cheng and capture the disciples of the Holy Church of Light.
Chu Li said, "You just came back. Do you want to take a break?"
"We're not tired!" Both of them shook their heads.
Chu Li smiled. "You have to be prepared. You might not be able to capture the disciples of the Holy Church of Light."
"If the Imperial Residence of King Cheng doesn't have it, other residences will have it!" Dong Qifei grinned.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled.
After a while, Leng Qiu and Leng Qing appeared. They were dressed in dark green attire with long swords on their waists. The five of them left the Imperial Residence of King An and went straight to the Imperial Residence of King Cheng.
Outside the Imperial Residence of King Cheng, Dong Qifei flashed his Secret Guardian waist tag. He wanted to see King Cheng.
The gatekeeper's attitude was casual. He lazily agreed and went in to report.
Both of them looked at Chu Li.
If it was not for Xiao Shi killing the Secret Guardians of the Imperial House, which caused the Secret Guardians of the Imperial House to lose their prestige, the Secret Guardians of the Imperial House would not have received such cold treatment.
After a while, the main door opened. Leng Tao brought a group of people out.
