PS: The 21st Guild Leader has a dream, thank you very much!
Everyone could not help but be attracted by her gaze.
Dressed in a light pink gown, her slender figure was slender and elegant. Her facial features were soft and beautiful, and her bright eyes seemed to be filled with tears. She was a peerless beauty that was as gentle as water.
Han Fei smiled, "Brother Chu, are you satisfied?"
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "Thank you for your trouble, Brother Han. Miss Yu Qing, please come and have a seat."
"Thank you, Chief Steward Chu." Xue Qing curtsied and gracefully walked over to sit beside him.
The faint fragrance from her body wafted into his nose, and the atmosphere in the living room seemed to become charming.
She held the pot in her hand and poured a cup of wine for Chu Li, then passed it to him with both hands.
Chu Li accepted the cup with a smile and finished it in one gulp. After thanking him, he turned to Fa Yuan. "Does the Holy Church of Light have anything to do with the Li Dynasty's imperial court?"
Fa Yuan nodded. "Their relationship is very deep. The disciples of the Li Dynasty's royal family will usually enter the Holy Church of Light to cultivate."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. He did not really know about this.
Fa Yuan let out a long sigh. "There are many geniuses in the Li Dynasty's royal family. The current Princess Ming Yue is the Saint of the Holy Church of Light."
"The Saint?" Chu Li frowned.
Fa Yuan said, "She's only below one person and above tens of thousands. Princess Ming Yue is the cult leader's disciple. If nothing goes wrong, Princess Ming Yue will be the next cult leader."
"Looks like she's a powerful figure," Chu Li muttered. "Could it be that the mastermind behind all this was Princess Ming Yue?"
"This Princess Ming Yue shines so brightly that she outshines all the younger generation of the Li Dynasty's royal family, be it male or female. Not only is her martial arts talent top-notch, but her wisdom is also top-notch. She's quite similar to Almsgiver Lu of the Ren Public House." Fa Yuan sighed. "It's really not a blessing for the Ji Dynasty to have such a person in the Li Dynasty."
"Like Miss Lu …" Chu Li smiled bitterly. "Looks like we're in trouble."
"My martial arts is no match for hers." Fa Yuan sighed. "Almsgiver Chu must be careful too."
Chu Li nodded slowly and sighed. "The Holy Church of Light is becoming more and more rampant. Does the Tempest Temple have a way to restrain them?"
Fa Yuan shook his head.
Chu Li asked, "If they're here to cause trouble, why can't the four major sects of the Ji Dynasty send someone over?"
Fa Yuan sighed. "The Holy Church of Light is too powerful. It's useless to send someone over."
"Are we supposed to just watch them grow stronger and deal with us?" Chu Li frowned. "I don't want us to end up as food for the Holy Church of Light and get eaten up … I've witnessed their tactics this time. They're all lunatics who aren't afraid of death."
Fa Yuan's face darkened.
When Chu Li saw his reaction, he knew that the Tempest Temple was also having a headache over the Holy Church of Light, and they did not have any good ideas.
"Come on, let's eat." Han Fei smiled and said, "You guys really have nothing better to worry about. Of course, there'll be someone taller to handle this kind of thing. The person in charge of the Tempest Temple isn't Great Master Fa Yuan. Brother Chu, you just have to take care of the High Duke's Public House and the Imperial Residence. Why bother about the Holy Church of Light?"
He raised his silver cup and urged them to drink and eat.
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "Brother Han, you should also pay attention to the Holy Church of Light. Be careful of their infiltration."
"It can't be, right?" Han Fei smiled. "My side is far away from the Emperor. Who would worry about it?"
"Li River is the source of transportation. Once there's a war, it'll become a food channel. If it's blocked, there'll at least be problems along the Chong Ming Road." Chu Li shook his head and said, "So let's go back and investigate it."
Han Fei's expression turned serious. "Is it really that dangerous?"
Chu Li said, "I'm not exaggerating."
"I've checked it once before." Han Fei nodded slowly. "I'll go back and investigate it again!"
The three of them chatted while drinking and eating. Bi Lan ate a few mouthfuls of food and played two songs.
Miss Yu Qing, who was beside Chu Li, sat quietly and did not speak much. When Chu Li finished his wine, she gently poured more wine and did not move at all.
Chu Li chatted with Han Fei and Fa Yuan about some interesting things in the martial arts world.
Fa Yuan was very eloquent. He usually thought before he spoke and seemed slow.
However, he spoke fluently when he talked about the stories of the martial arts world.
He came from a prestigious family and was one level higher than Chu Li and Han Fei. He knew a lot of secrets that they could not come into contact with. The two of them listened to him and were so excited that they ignored the beauty beside them.
Chu Li only nodded and smiled at Miss Yu Qing but did not speak.
Bi Lan sat beside Han Fei and observed carefully.
She realized that Chu Li did not like Yu Qing and sighed to herself. Sister Yu Qing really admired Chief Chu and specially requested to accompany him today. She did not expect Chief Chu to not like her.
Sister Yu Qing was so beautiful, pure and gentle. Her reputation in the Verdant Cloud Brothel was far better than hers, but Chief Chu did not like her. It seemed that Chief Chu had a different taste.
Chu Li and Han Fei drank until they were slightly tipsy. Fa Yuan also felt carefree. When it was late at night, Fa Yuan stood up and said goodbye.
Chu Li did not speak much to Miss Yu Qing from the beginning to the end. He was very cold.
Fa Yuan left first. Miss Yu Qing tactfully said goodbye and left. Before she left, she looked at Chu Li with a hint of resentment.
Chu Li responded with a smile, unmoved.
When they left, only Chu Li, Han Fei, and Bi Lan were left in the main hall. The atmosphere became warm.
Han Fei smiled. "Brother Chu, are you not satisfied with Miss Yu Qing?"
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "She's a very beautiful lady."
"Then why are you so cold? I know Brother Chu is not a rude man!" Han Fei smiled.
Chu Li said, "Forget it, let's not talk about me. Let's talk about you guys."
He took out a thin piece of white paper from his sleeve and flicked it gently. The white paper slowly floated towards Han Fei. "This is what you wanted, Brother Han."
"What is it?" Han Fei took it.
He looked down and suddenly laughed. "Great, I finally got this!"
Chu Li smiled. "I finally got it after being so thick-skinned!"
"I'll thank you next time." Han Fei beamed and passed the white paper to Bi Lan. "Take a look, my lady. You're free from now on!"
Bi Lan took the white paper and pursed her red lips. Tears streamed down her face.
"Alright, Brother Chu is here." Han Fei patted her shoulder.
Chu Li smiled. "I won't disturb the two of you anymore. Goodbye."
Chu Li stood up and fist saluted before leaving.

Early in the morning, Ma Kun came to the courtyard of Chu Li's team. However, he found that the courtyard was locked and there was no one there.
He cursed in his heart and waited at the entrance of the courtyard.
He could guess that he would definitely be put in a difficult position. He could only grit his teeth and bear with it. In the future, when he performed a meritorious deed and was promoted to a centurion, he would settle the score with him.
He waited for a long time but no one appeared. He waited from morning until noon. The sun was already in the middle of the sky but no one came.
He sneered in his heart. He had just performed a little meritorious deed and he was already so neglectful. He would not last long. He wanted to see what would happen to Chu Li!
It was already noon. He should not wait for them. He would eat first and then come back.
Thinking of this, he turned around and went to the catering department in the residence.
As soon as he entered the spacious catering department, he saw the Ning brothers, Dong Qifei, and Yang Zongwen. They were sitting at a table and chatting happily.
