Chu Li laughed and closed fist saluted. "Thank you, Brother Liu. I will definitely repay you for what you've said today!"
Liu Chuan waved his hand and said, "We're colleagues. No matter how much trouble there is in the Secret Guardians Hall, it's our own business. We're not on the same path as the people in the martial arts world, so we can never be true friends. It's like a cat and a mouse."
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
This Liu Chuan was indeed a powerful person. He viewed friendship as nothing, and only cared about profit.
This kind of person could not be opened to heart, could not be befriended, but could be used, cooperated, and exchanged for benefits.
Liu Chuan said, "If it wasn't for my friendship with Zhuge Feng, I wouldn't have told you, Brother Chu. I would have just taken care of this brat!"
"Looks like he's also a powerful figure," Chu Li said.
Liu Chuan nodded lightly. "He's already a Grandmaster at such a young age. He's extremely talented."
"A Grandmaster." Chu Li nodded. "He doesn't know the location of Tai Hua Valley, right?"
"Of course, how could I tell him?" Liu Chuan snorted. "I know Chong Ming Road is your territory."
"Thank you, Brother Liu." Chu Li smiled.
Liu Chuan waved his hand and laughed. "Actually, you don't have to thank me. I don't even know where Tai Hua Valley is! Haha! … In today's world, I'm afraid only the disciples of Tai Hua Valley know about this, but they almost never leave the valley. "
Chu Li burst into laughter and shook his head. "I don't know either."
Liu Chuan said, "Just be careful of this Zhuge Tian. You can't underestimate young people nowadays."
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Liu Chuan laughed. "I heard you beat Old Ma to the ground."
"I've embarrassed myself, Brother Liu." Chu Li shook his head.
Liu Chuan said, "Old Ma's mouth has offended everyone in the Secret Guardians Hall. If you beat him up, everyone will be happy."
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "The hatred in his heart can't be quelled, and he knows that I can't do anything to him. So, he recklessly causes trouble. I can only resort to this. I don't know if he'll remember this lesson after this."
"Old Ma …" Liu Chuan shook his head and sighed. "He doesn't know what's good for him and is stubborn. You have to be careful. After all, he was once a centurion. He still has a few loyal subordinates."
Chu Li smiled and gave a fist salute. "Thank you, Brother Liu. I'll take my leave now!"
"I won't see you out." Liu Chuan stood up and cupped his fists.

He came out of Ju Wu Courtyard, deep in thought.
Right at that moment, Ning Zhongyuan's plump body hurried over and said in a low voice, "Centurion, something bad has happened."
Chu Li looked up at him.
Ning Boyuan looked to his left and right. Seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "There's suddenly a rumor in Fairy's Capital that you've obtained the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual."
"The Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual?" Chu Li laughed. "Have I obtained it?"
"Yes." Ning Zhongyuan nodded hard. "This is not good, Centurion!"
Chu Li said, "Where did this nonsense come from?"
He was sure that Lu Yurong would not harm him by making up this rumor.
However, this information was only known to Lu Yurong. It was hard not to suspect her. Could it be that someone else had accidentally heard it from her?
She was too smart to make such a mistake.
Ning Zhongyuan said, "Centurion, we know that it's just a rumor. You're always in the Secret Guardians Hall, but other people don't know about it. Moreover, the rumor is very convincing. How did you achieve the Grandmaster's Boundary within two years? It's because you have the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual! "
"That makes sense!" Chu Li could not help but laugh.
His words really had a flawless feeling.
Ning Zhongyuan said, "Centurion, even we don't fully believe it, let alone others!"
"Then what do they want? Snatch my secret manual? "Chu Li said snappily.
Ning Zhongyuan said, "Centurion, don't underestimate everyone's desire for the secret manual. Who wouldn't be envious that they could become Grandmasters in an instant? That's why Centurion should bring more Protectors. Elder Qin and the others have decided to escort you back to the Imperial Residence. "
"Hmm, alright." Chu Li hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Becoming a Grandmaster within two years was indeed a great temptation. Especially when other people knew that he had the secret manual and that he could achieve it once he obtained it, who wouldn't be tempted?
Even the four major sects would be tempted, right?
It was not easy to cultivate the martial arts of the four major sects and become a Grandmaster. A genius like Fa Yuan probably had to cultivate for a few years before he could achieve it. If he could obtain the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual, he could become a Grandmaster in two years. Wouldn't the number of Grandmasters in the sect increase rapidly?
Ning Zhongyuan whispered, "Centurion, did you really obtain the secret manual?"
Chu Li said snappily, "If I really obtained the secret manual, I would've given it to the House of High Dukes. Why would I keep it until now?!"
"Hehe, that's true." Ning Zhongyuan nodded.
Yang Zongwen said, "Centurion, you're in big trouble. Everyone might really think that you've given it to the House of High Dukes!"
Chu Li frowned and realized that he was in trouble.
If he really gave it to the House of High Dukes, then the House of High Dukes would soon have a large number of Grandmasters. It had not even been two years since he became a Grandmaster. With that, the House of High Dukes would not be able to prove that he did not have the secret manual.
This time, he and the House of High Dukes would be in trouble. It seemed like Lu Yurong's method.
"Everyone must be jealous and want to snatch the secret manual." Ning Zhongyuan said.
Chu Li said, "Do you guys want the secret manual?"
"There's really a secret manual?" Ning Zhongyuan was shocked.
Chu Li smiled and said, "What do you think?"
Ning Zhongyuan laughed and said, "I don't think so?"
Chu Li stared at him.
Ning Zhongyuan was sure that he had the secret manual. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to cultivate so quickly.
Chu Li said, "Doesn't everyone doubt that the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual is really that magical? It can make someone become a Grandmaster in two years? "
"Everyone believes it anyway." Ning Zhongyuan said.
Yang Zongwen sighed and said softly, "Could it be Second in Command Ma?"
Chu Li said, "We'll talk about it later. Whoever did it will definitely give himself away. Help me find out about the Crouching Bull Mountain."
"Yes." Yang Zongwen nodded.
In the evening, Chu Li walked back. Qin Jin and the other three Grandmasters followed by his side.
Along the way, Chu Li noticed that several Grandmasters appeared in the surroundings. They were secretly spying on him. They were restless and eyeing him.
Chu Li frowned. It seemed that the news spread quickly and everyone believed it. They all harbored malicious intentions and wanted to snatch it. If it were not for Qin Jin and the other three, they would have already pounced on him. The temptation of the secret manual was too great.
They snatched the secret manual not only for themselves but also for their sects.
Especially the masters from the second-rate sects.
These second-rate sects did not produce Grandmasters themselves. They had to invite them from the outside and use all kinds of connections to rope them in. If they had the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual, they would not need to be in the Surpassing State to become a Grandmaster!
Second-rate sects would instantly become first-rate sects. Their rise could be expected!
Chu Li shook his head secretly. These people were really crazy. They did not think about whether they could keep the secret manual even if they had it. The destruction of their sects was right in front of them!
Even if they covered their faces, would they stop chasing after them after snatching it?
"Centurion, let's stay for the night." Qin Jin said at the entrance of the Imperial Residence of King An.
Chu Li smiled and said, "The Imperial Residence Protectors are enough. You can go back and rest."
"Then we'll come over tomorrow morning."
"Yes."
