Su Ru sighed and shook her head. "He injured a few people. He was punished because the first person attacked out of anger. As for the others, they challenged him first, so the punishment was not heavy."
"If that's the case, the punishment wasn't severe?" Chu Li raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Has the punishment been announced?"
Zhuo Feiyang's connections must have played a part in this. Otherwise, he would not have been able to differentiate which one it was. He would have just punished both of them together.
"Yes, Miss has already decided." Suru sized him up. "Report it to the Eldest Young Master. Let's see if the Eldest Young Master approves of it. After all, this concerns a genius. We have to be cautious."
Chu Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, Chief. I still have a little bit of tolerance in my heart. Zhuo Feiyang is my Boy of Fortune. If he really leaves, I'll be quite reluctant!"
"You …" Su Ru rolled her eyes at him.
He was very satisfied with Zhuo Feiyang's cleverness. He had personally come over to talk to Zhuo Feiyang because he did not want Zhuo Feiyang to have a knot in his heart and feel that he was protecting Zhuo Feiyang.
Su Ru said, "Lady Xiao's punishment is for him to be stationed at Ascending Cloud Town for three years."
"Miss handled it very cleverly."
Ascending Cloud Town was two thousand miles away from Chong Ming Town, but it was only slightly less bustling than Chong Ming Town. It seemed like a heavy punishment to leave the government office, but the places they were stationed in were very different. Some were bustling and warm like spring, while some were poor and cold.
Ascending Cloud Town was quite a distance away from Chong Ming Town. Most people did not know much about it and thought that it was a cold and desolate place, but in reality, it was not a harsh place. When Siao Qi heard this punishment, she swung the wooden plank down gently. It served as a warning to the bystanders and also made Zhuo Feiyang feel grateful.
Su Ru smiled. "You don't think that Lady Xiao is biased, do you?"
"Chief." Chu Li shook his head and laughed. "If I were the Lady, it would be the same. After all, I'm a genius."
"Hmph, you're still jealous." Su Ru laughed.
She heaved a sigh of relief. If Yi Yi didn't mind at all, he would have minded it even more.
Chu Li said, "Zhuo Feiyang will find trouble with me sooner or later."
"Of course he's not convinced." Su Ru said, "This is also a reminder for you, so that you won't be satisfied and lose your motivation. You must understand Lady Xiao's painstaking efforts!"
"I understand, I understand. Thank you, Lady!" Chu Li helplessly closed fist saluted.
Suru pursed her lips and smiled. "Alright, I have another piece of good news for you."
"Sending Zhuo Feiyang away is already good news. From now on, I can have some peace and quiet," Chu Li said lazily.
Su Ru rolled her eyes at him. "From today onwards, you will be promoted to Rank-5!"
"Rank five?" Chu Li was stunned. He was very surprised.
Ranks required years of experience. Nine ranks in three years, eight ranks in ten years, seven ranks in twenty years, six ranks in forty years, and five ranks in seventy years. Five ranks was already the peak of a normal Imperial Bodyguard. Without any outstanding meritorious service, the highest rank they could achieve in their lifetime was five ranks.
It was difficult to be promoted, and the higher one went, the harder it would be. The contributions he had made when he was a handyman were nothing compared to his current Level Six status. As a Level Six, he needed an astonishing amount of contributions to be promoted to Level Five.
Suru smiled and said, "You've killed ten Innate Masters from the Ren Public House last time. That's enough for you to reach Rank-5. The Lady suppressed it a little. Now that the time is right, there shouldn't be any gossip."
Chu Li was now the Youth Champion. After Zhuo Feiyang went crazy, everyone understood that it was not Zhuo Feiyang who was weak, but Chu Li who was too powerful. No one in the martial arts field could withstand a single move from Zhuo Feiyang, but Zhuo Feiyang could not withstand a single move from Chu Li.
"Thank you, Lady!" Chu Li fist saluted.
Su Ru said, "You have to be careful in the future. After all, many people are watching you."
"Understood." Chu Li nodded.

Early in the morning, the sun shone brightly, illuminating Chong Ming Town.
Outside the South Gate of Chong Ming Town, Zhuo Feiyang was dressed in a sapphire blue robe. His jade-like face was calm. He was like a different person from before. Bai Zhijie led two horses and followed behind him.
Both of them looked back at Chong Ming Town with complicated expressions.
"Master, let's go. We have to hurry there." Bai Zhijie said.
"Okay." Zhuo Feiyang answered absentmindedly, his eyes still lingering on the town gate.
Bai Zhijie sighed. He knew who Zhuo Feiyang was waiting for. But now, both of them were like stray dogs. They had offended everyone in the Public House. It was unrealistic to expect Lady Zhao to send them off.
"Master …" Bai Zhijie said.
Zhuo Feiyang waved his hand. His face darkened and he turned around.
Bai Zhijie quickly handed him the reins.
Zhuo Feiyang turned his head to look again, then leaped onto the horse's back.
He sat on the horse and turned his head to look again. Finally, he sighed in disappointment. His body became shorter, as if he had become stooped.
"Go!" He shook the reins and shouted weakly.
"Brother Zhuo!" A sweet voice was heard.
Zhuo Feiyang turned around and pulled the reins hard. Suddenly, the horse reared up and neighed.
Zhuo Feiyang's eyes widened in excitement. He stared at Zhao Ying who was gliding towards him.
Zhao Ying was dressed in a light green gown. She walked towards him lightly. "Brother Zhuo!"
Zhuo Feiyang grinned. "Sister Zhao, you're finally here!"
Zhao Ying sighed. "Brother Zhuo, are you really leaving?"
Zhuo Feiyang said helplessly, "I have to leave today. Sister Zhao, come with me!"
Zhao Ying was stunned and looked at him in surprise.
Zhuo Feiyang said, "Sister Zhao, I only have you now. Everyone in the Public House hates me and laughs at me. Only you care about me. Sister Zhao, come with me to the Ascending Cloud Town. I don't want to go alone!"
He knew that Zhao Ying was kind and soft-hearted. If he acted pitiful, he might be able to move her heart.
Zhao Ying quickly shook her head. "Brother Zhuo, you've misunderstood!"
"Can't I?" Zhuo Feiyang looked at her in disappointment. "You're not coming with me?"
"Brother Zhuo, I have to listen to the Martial Arts Hall's orders. How can I go with you?" Zhao Ying quickly said. "Don't think too much. The Public House hasn't given up on you!"
Zhuo Feiyang smiled bitterly. "Exiled for three years. Isn't that giving up?"
"How many crimes have you committed?" Zhao Ying said. "How many people have you beaten up? If I don't punish you, all the Protectors won't let you off. I heard that the Ascending Cloud Town is very prosperous. You won't have to suffer there!"
"How do you know?" Zhuo Feiyang's face suddenly darkened. He smiled coldly. "It's Chu Li. he must have told you, right?!"
Zhao Ying hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded.
Zhuo Feiyang laughed coldly. "I know. Sister Zhao, you like Chu Li more. It's been like that since the beginning!"
"Brother Zhuo!" Zhao Ying quickly said.
Zhuo Feiyang scoffed. "Don't think that I'm stupid. Sister Zhao, the way you look at him is completely different from how I look at him!"
Zhao Ying said, "Brother Zhuo, it's getting late. Let's go. Train hard when we get there. Don't give up!"
"Hmph, I'll definitely get my revenge!" Zhuo Feiyang laughed coldly. "Sister Zhao, tell Chu Li to wash his neck and prepare to die!"
"Brother Zhuo!" Zhao Ying stared at him unhappily.
Zhuo Feiyang scoffed and leaped onto his horse. He did not even look at Zhao Ying as he rode away. Bai Zhijie gave a fist salute and hurriedly urged his horse to catch up. The two of them quickly disappeared into the distance.
