PS: Update complete. Sigh … I'm not satisfied that I didn't write ten chapters! Thank you again for your support!
He laughed coldly to himself.
Even though he wasn't a centurion, he was still a second-in-command, their direct superior. Yet, they dared to tease him. They must be trying to curry favor with the centurion.
They had underestimated themselves. They might not be able to deal with Chu Li, but they could deal with the four of them!
As he thought of this, he strode over to the four of them.
When Ning Boyuan saw him, he quickly closed fist saluted and smiled. "Second in Command Ma!"
The other three looked up at him and hurriedly cupped their fists in greeting.
Ma Kun sneered. "Where did you go this morning?"
"In the morning?" The four of them looked at each other and said in surprise, "In the courtyard."
"In the courtyard?" Ma Kun said coldly, "The door to the courtyard is locked. Which courtyard are you in? Could it be that you think my eyes are playing tricks on me? "
Ning Boyuan quickly said, "Second in Command Ma, did you go back to the original courtyard? We've already changed locations. "
Ma Kun's aura suddenly stagnated, he frowned and said, "Changed locations? Where is it now? "
"It's in Mei Er Courtyard," Ning Boyuan said with a smile, "The commander is very generous, he actually gave us Mei Er Courtyard!"
Ma Kun scoffed, "How would I not know!"
Ning Boyuan was startled, he smiled and said, "This … We didn't find Second in Command Ma either."
Ma Kun was furious, but he could not say that he had been waiting outside the courtyard. That would be too embarrassing. He said coldly, "Is the centurion back?"
"Oh, the centurion has something to do in the morning, so he won't be coming. He might come in the afternoon," Dong Qifei said.
"What is it?" Ma Kun asked coldly.
The four of them shook their heads.
Ma Kun scoffed, "Don't tell me he's slacking off again?"
The four of them wisely shut their mouths.
Chu Li's voice came from behind him, "Second in Command Ma, are you making things up about me again?"
Ma Kun's expression changed slightly as he turned to look at Chu Li.
Chu Li was standing behind him with his hands behind his back, yet he did not notice. Furthermore, the four of them did not move at all. It was obvious that Chu Li had done this on purpose.
Chu Li looked at him calmly. "Why didn't you come this morning? You're unhappy with me, so you don't want to be the second-in-command, right? "
Ma Kun glared at him coldly.
Chu Li nodded. "Everyone has their own aspirations, so I won't force you. My place is too small for a big Buddha like you, so please leave!"
After he finished speaking, he sat beside Ning Boyuan and the others, leaving Ma Kun at the side.
Ma Kun stood there, his face alternating between green and white. His anger surged and his fists trembled from time to time. An incomparably strong impulse surged within him, as if it wanted to break free from his control and smash Chu Li to death with one punch.
Thinking of the consequences of doing so, he clenched his fists tightly, not letting his fists fly out. He took a few deep breaths to suppress his anger, and his expression slowly returned to normal.
Ning Boyuan and the other three felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, the atmosphere was oppressive.
It was a battle between the centurion and the second-in-command. Small soldiers like them would be in trouble. The centurion could not be provoked, but the second-in-command, Ma Kun, was not to be trifled with either. He was experienced and had a wide network. It would be easy for him to take care of them.
After Chu Li sat down, he looked at Ma Kun with interest. He found it interesting that Ma Kun was trying his best to suppress his anger.
Ma Kun took a deep breath and closed fist saluted. He said to Chu Li expressionlessly, "Centurion, I have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. Farewell!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he strode out of the catering department.
Ning Boyuan and the others let out a long sigh of relief and relaxed their bodies.
Chu Li could not help but laugh, "Are you all that afraid of him?"
"Centurion, he is not to be underestimated. Centurion, you should be careful too, don't let him bite you in the back," Dong Qifei said in a low voice.
Chu Li smiled, "Yes, I understand."

After lunch, when Ma Kun arrived at the Mei Er Courtyard, he saw Chu Li drinking tea under the plum tree in the courtyard. Dong Qifei was standing beside him, pouring tea and serving him attentively.
When he saw Ma Kun, Chu Li looked at him calmly.
Ma Kun took a deep breath and walked closer. He closed fist saluted with a straight face, "Centurion."
Chu Li smiled and placed the teacup back on the stone table, "Looks like the second-in-command Ma knows how to adapt to the circumstances."
"Yes," Ma Kun said in a low voice.
Chu Li nodded, "Speaking of which, our personal grudges are nothing much. It's just a few words, it's not a big deal."
"Centurion, you are magnanimous, I can't thank you enough!" Ma Kun said in a low voice.
He spouted nonsense that even he himself did not believe, all so that he could observe Chu Li from a close distance and see what would happen to him.
Chu Li said, "Very well, we will work together from now on, and strive to make the Mei Er Courtyard the best courtyard."
"Yes," Ma Kun closed fist saluted.
Chu Li said, "Second in the Mei Er Ma, follow me to a place in the afternoon."
"Where?" Ma Kun could not help but ask.
Chu Li said, "This Zhou Lingfeng wants to exchange our men with the Tempest Temple, go to the East Gate. You are a Grandmaster, follow me to take a look, just in case something goes wrong."
"Yes," Ma Kun closed fist saluted.
Chu Li raised his voice, "Yang Zongwen, help Second in the Mei Er Ma to make arrangements."
"Yes," Yang Zongwen came out from the house.
Ma Kun followed Yang Zongwen into a room on the East side, and quietly sat in front of a desk.
He was alone in the room, it was very quiet, and there were already a few files on the desk.
He suppressed his anger and grievance, and went forward to pick it up, it was news about Zhou Lingfeng. Looking at the list of tragic cases on the file, he shook his head.
He was really careless this time, if he knew that Zhou Lingfeng was so powerful, he would not have only sent Young Zhou and the other two, and let them die for nothing.
When he thought about this, he felt a wave of regret and unhappiness.
This matter had become a sore point in his heart, but Chu Li kept bringing it up, not letting it go, it was like pouring salt on his wound, it was too hateful!
"Second in the Mei Er Ma, let's go," Chu Li said from outside.
Ma Kun calmed his emotions, suppressed his anger again, and left the house.
The Ning brothers, Dong Qifei, and Yang Zongwen were all in the courtyard, looking at Chu Li with anticipation.
Chu Li smiled, "Don't even think about it, just me and Second in the Mei Er Ma will go!"
Dong Qifei said, "Centurion, even if we can't help much, we can at least wave the flag and shout for help, it would be good to boost the morale."
"The more you act like this, the more guilty I feel," Chu Li smiled, "Two people is enough … Alright, you guys, don't say anymore!"
He waved his hand to stop their pleas.
Ma Kun came closer and clasped his fists.
Chu Li pointed at Zhou Lingfeng who was on the ground, "Bring him along, let's go."
"Yes." Ma Kun nodded.
He cursed in his heart. This kind of small matter should be done by Dong Qifei and the rest. He was a deputy leader, but he had to be a lackey?? Neon? Looking down at me, I beg for forgiveness.
The two of them left the Secret Guardians Hall and rode a horse each.
Ma Kun placed Zhou Lingfeng in front of him and hugged him. He felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
Zhou Lingfeng was in a coma. He looked like he was dead, but he wasn't, which made Ye Futian's hair stand on end.
"Centurion, there's actually no need to replace him," Ma Kun said as he rode on his horse.
Chu Li said, "We still have to save them. We have to let everyone know that the Secret Guardians Hall will never give up on our own people!"
"To them, it's better if they don't come back," Ma Kun said calmly.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
