"Shut up!" Chen Kong glared at him fiercely, "It's all your fault, you forced a master to leave!"
"Elder Chen, I'm innocent!" Leng Tao was unconvinced, "He has been flirting with Chu Li for a long time. Otherwise, why would Chu Li appear so coincidentally?"
Chen Kong scoffed, "He has been eyeing him for a long time. It was you who gave Chu Li the opportunity to enter, really …"
As he said this, he shook his head and stopped talking. He really did not know what to say.
Such an idiot, if he was not the only son of the Royal Highness, Chen Kong would have thrown him aside and let him fend for himself! He was too lazy to talk nonsense with him!
Chu Li pulled Zhu Tianhua back to the courtyard where Mu Qing used to live.
Zhu Tianhua saw the courtyard and immediately frowned at Chu Li.
Chu Li let go of them and sat in front of the stone table. He smiled and said, "You met the wrong person, yet you are still so loyal. This is the end."
"Hmph, why did you bring us here?" Zhu Tianhua scoffed.
Chu Li laughed, "Shouldn't you first thank me for saving your life?"
"Isn't it all your fault!" Zhu Tianhua scoffed.
He now understood that he had fallen into Chu Li's trap step by step.
Although he knew about this trap, he could only step into it step by step. He always felt wronged, as if he had become a puppet, walking according to Chu Li's plan.
Chu Li said, "If that's the case, you want to leave?"
"Yes, I want to live a peaceful life. I want to find a beautiful place to live peacefully." Zhu Tianhua said, "I don't want to fight anymore."
He said as he looked at Mu Qing.
He knew that Mu Qing did not like to fight. She yearned for a peaceful life, reading, cooking, peaceful, and carefree.
Chu Li laughed and shook his head, "You are too naive to want to live that kind of life. Not to mention the fact that you have wasted all your knowledge, more importantly, you know how weak a person's power is, even if you are a Grandmaster."
"I can protect my wife."
"That might not be the case." Chu Li shook his head, "What if something like this happens again? What if some powerful person takes a liking to Miss Mu Qing and brings a few Grandmasters over? What can you do? "
Zhu Tianhua suddenly became silent.
He had experienced that feeling of powerlessness, and he hated this feeling the most.
As a man, and a Grandmaster at that, if he could not protect his own woman, he would be too ashamed to live in this world!
Chu Li pointed at himself and said, "Look at me, my martial arts should be strong enough, right? Moreover, my lightness skill is even better. I can leave whenever I want. No one can stop me. Why should I run around in the Prince's Mansion and Fairy's Capital, chasing after power? "
Zhu Tianhua furrowed his brows and looked at him.
Indeed, he had the same thought. Chu Li could totally live a carefree life. Why would he bother to scheme against others?
Chu Li said, "That's because I know that I can't rely on my own strength. Unless I step into the Enlightened Mastery's Boundary, no matter how strong a Grandmaster is, he is still weak. I need power, I need companions, I need more power, only then can I truly protect the people I cherish."
Zhu Tianhua sighed.
He actually felt that Chu Li's words made sense.
If it was in the past, he would have scoffed at it. Now that he had Mu Qing, and after the previous setback, he could not help but agree with Chu Li's words.
"If you want to live in seclusion in a beautiful place, you will have to take the risk of being bullied and humiliated one day!" Chu Li said, "If you stay in the Imperial Residence and become a Protector of the Imperial Residence, you will no longer be alone. No matter what danger you face, no matter what enemies you have, there will be people around you to help you!"
"I don't trust people like you. You fall out with me like flipping a book!" Zhu Tianhua said.
Chu Li smiled and said, "You have the nerve to say that? Aren't you the same as flipping a book? I helped you redeem your wife, but how did you repay me? I saved you, but you feel that I owe you. Sigh … looks like I can't be a good person. "
After being said that, Zhu Tianhua felt embarrassed.
Back then, he had indeed done something wrong. He didn't even say thank you, and instead, he snatched Mu Qing and ran away.
"… I need to discuss this with my wife," Zhu Tianhua said in a low voice.
Mu Qing leaned on his back and whispered, "I'll leave everything to you, big brother."
Zhu Tianhua looked at Chu Li and scoffed, "Alright, from today onwards, I will be your Protector. Let me make this clear, I am only your Protector and not from the Imperial Residence. I really don't trust these people!"
Chu Li said, "I also have to make this clear, my rules are very strict. If you break them, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Since my life was saved by you, do as you please!" Zhu Tianhua scoffed.
Chu Li nodded in satisfaction, "That's good. Stay here and the courtyard will belong to you. Take care of your body and we will start tomorrow!"
Zhu Tianhua closed fist saluted.
Chu Li nodded at Mu Qing and turned to leave the courtyard.
Mu Qing got down from his back and walked one round in the courtyard. She felt a sense of familiarity.
She caressed a green bamboo and sighed faintly. She said softly, "It feels like a dream."
Zhu Tianhua said gently, "My wife, you won't blame me for doing this, right?"
Mu Qing shook her head and smiled, "This is good too."
Zhu Tianhua sighed, "I still can't live a peaceful life, I really …"
"This is already very stable." Mu Qing quickly stopped him and said gently, "Being a Protector of the Imperial Residence is not that dangerous. Staying in the Imperial Residence is also peaceful. As long as I can stay by Brother Zhu's side, anywhere is fine."
Zhu Tianhua smiled.
He was most afraid that Mu Qing would be dissatisfied. When she said that, he let out a long sigh of relief.
"I don't know what exactly he wants to do," Zhu Tianhua said.
Mu Qing smiled, "Maybe he wants to be a Protector, to stay by his side."
Zhu Tianhua nodded slowly.
The next morning, he was cultivating. Mu Qing was beside him with a towel and boiling tea. She would serve the towel and teacup at any time.
He was cultivating enthusiastically. He felt that this was how he truly lived. Liu Xing's voice came from outside the courtyard, "Brother Zhu, the Head Chief is calling!"
"I will be there soon," Zhu Tianhua said.
Liu Xing said, "The Head Chief is calling. We need to leave immediately, let's go."
"I need to change my clothes," Zhu Tianhua said.
"Then hurry up," Liu Xing said.
As Zhu Tianhua spoke, Mu Qing had already passed him the clothes.
Zhu Tianhua quickly changed and pushed the door open. Liu Xing was waiting outside the courtyard.
Liu Xing looked at him, "Let's go."
Zhu Tianhua nodded and followed him to the outside of Tianshu Courtyard.
"Princess, Head Chief, Zhu Tianhua is here," Liu Xing raised his voice and said.
"Come in," Chu Li said.
Zhu Tianhua stepped into Tianshu Courtyard. Instantly, a few bright eyes fell on him.
Zhu Tianhua felt his face heating up. He could not help but want to lower his head. Then, he remembered that he was a Grandmaster and there was nothing to be afraid of.
He raised his head and met the bright eyes. He saw Princess Siao sitting on the north side. On her left and right sat two beautiful ladies, followed by the maids. Chu Li stood beside Princess Siao and looked at him without saying a word.
"Princess, Head Chief," he closed fist saluted and said in a deep voice.
Siao Shi looked at him and pursed her lips into a smile, "This is the Protector that you used a little trick to bring back?"
