He fought with Chu Li because of Lu Yurong.
However, he had no interest in Lu Yurong now. Even if Lu Yurong took the initiative to marry him, he would not dare to accept her. If he married a tyrant like her, he would not have a good life. It was better to let someone else have her.
If Chu Li married her, it would be the best. He would be able to live a hard life.
Once the knot in his heart was gone, his hatred towards Chu Li was mostly gone. Plus, he was saved by Chu Li, so he could vent his anger.
No matter how powerful Chu Li was, he could not become the Emperor. He had a high chance of becoming the Emperor. Why bother with him?
If there were no accidents, he would become a prince in the future.
He had high ambitions. He had to think about how he could become the Emperor.
First, he had to be strong enough in martial arts or else he would not live long enough to become the Emperor. Next, he had to be smart and have enough connections.
The most important thing now was to avoid assassination. Adding all these factors together, the best choice was the border army.
Once his father became the Emperor, he would not be the only prince. If he wanted to be ahead of them, he had to work hard now!
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt enlightened, and his mind became much more open.
Once he became the Emperor, no matter how powerful he was, he would still be a subject under his rule. How could an Emperor compete with a subject?
"Go to the House of High Duke for a year first, then go to the border. You should understand that when you go to the border, you can only change your name. No one can help you. "
"Your martial arts is too weak. It will be hard for you to achieve anything in the army. If you want to stand out in the army, you have to train your martial arts!" Lu Yurong said.
King Jing said, "Listen to your cousin!"
Leng Feng looked at Lu Yurong and saw her staring at him coldly. He could not help but feel guilty. "Alright, I'll listen to my cousin."
Consort Lu sighed in relief. "You should listen to your cousin! Yurong, if he doesn't listen, just hit him. It's fine as long as he doesn't die! "
Lu Yurong smiled. "Aunt, don't worry. I will teach him a lesson!"
"Mother!" Leng Feng shouted.
Consort Lu said, "I finally understand that spoiling him won't do. If he trained his martial arts well, he would not be in this predicament!"
"Yurong must be tired. Go and rest," King Jing said. "Let him stay in the residence for half a month."
"Alright." Lu Yurong nodded lightly.
She really didn't want to bring Leng Feng back to the residence. If something happened again, she wouldn't be able to save him.
However, now that things had come to this, she could not abandon Leng Feng. Otherwise, her uncle would definitely have an opinion and feel that she had retreated in the face of danger.
She returned to her room and lay down on the bed without moving. She was too lazy to circulate her internal energy to recover.
The earth-shattering scene of thunder and lightning clashing earlier lingered in his mind.
Chu Li sat quietly by the table, calmly waiting for the lightning to strike.
Thinking of this, a sour feeling suddenly rushed into her heart.
She suddenly understood that although Chu Li usually looked like he had everything under his control, as if he was fearless and nothing could stump him, he was actually lonely deep down. He had been hiding it very well, but occasionally, he would inadvertently reveal it.
Chu Li liked Xiao Qi, but Xiao Qi was in Isolated Cultivation, so he felt lonely?
It didn't seem like that was all. Pure yearning wouldn't be like this. He seemed to be isolated from the world, living alone in the world.
"Sigh …" She faintly sighed. Chu Li was a mystery, she couldn't see through him no matter what.
She suddenly laughed. She really had the leisure, why did she have to see through him?
However, as a strong opponent, an opponent who could cooperate, she should see through him before she could cooperate with him without worry.
As she thought about this, she unknowingly fell asleep.

Chu Li stepped on the black soil and casually walked, "Where are the people in the residence?"
"They're all dead." Yang Zongwen said, "They were all burned to death!"
"The Minister Counsellor's family is also dead?" Chu Li frowned.
Yang Zongwen said, "I heard that the family has already escaped!"
Chu Li nodded.
"The Minister Counsellor's betrayal was premeditated." Yang Zongwen scoffed, "It's very likely that he escaped a month ago. His family suddenly got sick and has been bedridden. It's been a month."
Chu Li pulled out the Modesty Sword and flicked it on the ground. A jade pendant flew out from the soil.
The white jade pendant was warm as if it was soaked in water. It was not burned by the fire. It was obviously not an ordinary item and was very valuable.
A jade pendant like this would not belong to an ordinary person. It was very likely that it belonged to the Minister Counsellor himself.
He closed his eyes and started to activate the All-Seeing Divine Power. After a moment, he shook his head, "It's already dead!"
"It could be someone else's." Yang Zongwen said.
Chu Li pondered for a moment and sighed, "… Let's look again."
He suddenly picked up a brick. The green brick was burnt beyond recognition but it did not break. It was obvious that it was made of good material.
Under the green brick was a bronze dagger.
Chu Li pulled it out and took a look. It was bright and cold.
"Good dagger!" Yang Zongwen exclaimed in admiration.
Chu Li activated the All-Seeing Divine Power and opened his eyes after a moment. He could vaguely sense that he had found the owner of the dagger. It seemed that he had escaped very far.
Could this be the Minister Counsellor's personal item?
Chu Li stood up, "It's done!"
"Captain, we just need to find this?" Yang Zongwen was puzzled.
Chu Li said, "It's up to Dong Qifei. He found the Minister Counsellor's best friend. You go and help him. Find out if the Minister Counsellor has any treasured items to give to his friends. Find them!"
"… Yes." Yang Zongwen nodded.
Chu Li said, "The faster the better!"
"Yes!" Yang Zongwen said.
He hurried away.
Chu Li stood on the spot and looked around the residence.
He was curious. What kind of power could make a Minister Counsellor betray his country? Was it his family or something else? Humans could not resist the temptation of desire.
Not long after he returned to the courtyard of the Imperial Residence, Dong Qifei and Yang Zongwen came to visit him.
Leng Qiu and Leng Qing were practicing their swordsmanship in the courtyard. They were drenched in sweat but they were energetic.
"I found two items." Yang Zongwen presented a scroll and an inkstone with both hands, "These are the Minister Counsellor's favorites. One is the only copy from the previous dynasty and the other is an ancient inkstone from the previous dynasty. Both are very valuable. They were given to the other two Minister Counsellors."
Chu Li took them and closed his eyes slightly. He activated the All-Seeing Divine Power.
His eyebrows gradually furrowed.
"Captain?" The two saw that his expression was not right and quickly asked.
Chu Li waved his hand.
The Heavenly Demonic Orb fell from his chest and a turbulent power suddenly spread around his body. He felt like he could break the sky with one punch.
After activating the All-Seeing Divine Power once again, he picked up the dagger again.
After a while, he slowly put down the dagger.
The Heavenly Demonic Orb once again condensed above his chest. He felt a faint sense of hunger and the powerful feeling from before disappeared without a trace.
His face was solemn and he seemed to be thinking.
Dong Qifei and Yang Zongwen stared at him without blinking.
"Can you find him?" The two asked cautiously.
Chu Li glanced at the two and shook his head.
"Can't I?" The two said in disappointment.
