Chen Kong glanced at Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled, "Elder Chen, your Imperial Crown Prince really knows how to fantasize."
"Head Chief, you guessed it?" Chen Kong asked.
Chu Li shook his head, "He's after my secret manual. He has no brains, and neither do you, Elder Chen. If I really had the secret manual, would I have leaked it?"
"Sigh …" Chen Kong shook his head, "It's rare that the Imperial Crown Prince has the heart to improve. I can't bear to hurt him."
He did not believe it either. He understood Chu Li's methods. He was meticulous in his actions. How could he let others know that he had the secret manual? No matter how convincing it was, it was still a rumor.
"What kind of master can he become through trickery?" Chu Li said snappily, "Even if he really had the secret manual, with his qualifications, can he cultivate it? It's better for him to cultivate the martial arts of the Imperial Residence. The ones from the Imperial House are not inferior to the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual! "
"The Imperial Crown Prince always wants to get lucky," Chen Kong said, "He won't stop until he hits a wall."
"The next time he comes, I'll hide far away," Chu Li said, "I can't be bothered to talk nonsense with people like him!"
"Just reject him directly," Chen Kong said.
Chu Li said, "It'll be weird if he listens!"
Chen Kong smiled, "Is Zhu Tianhua doing well here?"
"Very well," Chu Li said, "The Imperial Residence of King Cheng is such a disgrace. You actually pushed such a master away!"
Chen Kong stared at him snappily, "If it wasn't for your scheme, would the Imperial Crown Prince have fallen for it and forced Zhu Tianhua to leave?"
Chu Li said, "I didn't use any schemes. I just helped him redeem his lover. He was grateful and came over. What else is there to say? You can only blame the Imperial Residence of King Cheng for being stingy and not willing to part with a hundred thousand taels of silver! "
"Alright, I can't beat you in an argument. I'm leaving!" Chen Kong was speechless. He turned around and left.
Chu Li smiled as he watched them leave.
When he returned to Tianshu Courtyard, Leng Qiu and Leng Qing were there. Song Liuying and Xue Ningyu were also there.
They were smiling as they listened to Leng Qiu talk about her battle just now.
Those few sword moves were described by her in a way that was full of twists and turns, thrilling and scary.
Leng Qing shook her head at the side. Song Liuying and Xue Ningyu were smiling as they listened. They were in their own residence and Chu Li was beside them. Nothing would happen, so they were relaxed and treated it as a show.
When they saw Chu Li enter, the ladies looked at him, all of them were radiant.
"Why is Leng Tao here?" Xiao Shi scoffed.
Chu Li said, "You're after my secret manual."
"Another secret manual!" Xiao Shi scoffed. "These people are crazy!"
Chu Li smiled. "It'll take a while."
"Why don't they think about it? If there really was a secret manual, would they even have a chance?" Xiao Shi scoffed.
Chu Li said, "I'm blinded by greed. It can't be helped."
"Head Chief, are you alright?" Song Liuying asked.
Chu Li shook his head. "The Secret Guardians Hall has already spoken. Whoever dares to snatch the secret manual will be the Secret Guardians Hall's enemy. This will deter most people."
"I didn't expect the Secret Guardians Hall to be so strong-willed," Song Liuying laughed.
Siao Shi scoffed, "Don't tell me they want the secret manual too?"
Chu Li smiled. "They know I don't have the secret manual."
"Anyway, don't think too highly of them!" Xiao Shi said.

It was early in the morning and the sun was shining brightly.
Qiao San sat motionlessly with his legs crossed. His mind was focused and his breathing was maintained at the slowest state. He wanted to consume the least amount of energy so that he could last longer until the Young Lord came to rescue him.
"Bang!" A dull sound was heard. A warm and magnetic voice came from outside, "Qiao San!"
"Young Lord?!" Qiao San jumped up and shouted, "Young Lord! Young Lord! I'm here! "
He realized that his voice was weak and could not travel more than a few steps.
He was anxious and impatient. He did not know what to do so he knocked on an ancient tree with all his might.
He did not eat or drink for two days but he was a Grandmaster. He did not consume too much energy and was still full of energy. The ancient tree was knocked until it made a "bang bang" sound.
"Qiao San!" The voice seemed to come from afar.
Qiao San was even more anxious.
He felt that the voice was further away than before. It was obvious that the Young Lord was walking away and could not find him.
"Young — — Lord — —!" He covered his mouth with his hand and shouted with all his might.
"Qiao San …" The voice seemed to be even further away. It was as faint as smoke and could not be heard anymore.
"Young Lord …" Qiao San put down his hand and looked up at the bright sun.
God played a big joke on him. The Young Lord was about to find him but he left. Was he really going to be trapped until he died?
"Qiao San …" The voice was getting closer. Qiao San's spirit was lifted and he quickly gathered himself. "Young — — Lord — —! I'm here — —! "
He jumped up to the top of the tree and shouted again and again.
In just a short while, his voice was hoarse and he could not make a sound.
"Qiao San …" The warm and magnetic voice came closer and closer.
Qiao San's heart sank. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
This repeated more than ten times.
He went from hope to despair and back to hope again. This repeated more than ten times. In the end, he felt weak and powerless. He felt that he would rather die. It seemed like the Young Lord really could not find him!
He laid on the ground and did not move. His eyes were lifeless. It was as if everything around him had nothing to do with him and he was bidding farewell to this world.
"Bang!" A dull sound was heard.
Qiao San suddenly felt that his surroundings had changed. The sound became clearer as if he had regained his hearing.
"Qiao San!" The warm and magnetic voice was right next to his ear.
Qiao San sat up and widened his eyes in disbelief. He stared blankly at Zhuge Tian who was standing five steps away. "Young lord!"
Zhuge Tian glanced at him lazily. "You're not dead?"
"Young — — Lord — —!" Qiao San cried tears of joy. He jumped up and tried to hug Zhuge Tian.
Zhuge Tian hit Qiao San with his palm and Qiao San fell to the ground.
Qiao San laughed out loud on the ground. His voice was hoarse and his laughter was extremely unpleasant.
"Are you crazy? Let's go!" Zhuge Tian said angrily.
"Young Lord, how did you find me?" Qiao San asked.
"Who knows. Let's just take our time." Zhuge Tian said calmly.
"How long has it been?" Qiao San asked.
Zhuge Tian said, "Since last night."
Qiao San's heart was filled with warmth. He wanted to kneel down to express his loyalty and gratitude.
"Young Lord, what's going on?" Qiao San looked around.
Zhuge Tian walked with his hands behind his back. He stepped on a tree branch and glided towards the mountainside. "A formation."
Qiao San jumped up the tree and followed. He frowned. "It seems like there are only two people in the world who know about formations. We didn't offend them. Why would they come here to set up a formation?"
"Maybe they have a grudge against the hill master. We accidentally fell into the formation, and because of that, we were able to escape. Don't talk so much. It's tiring to listen to you! "Zhuge Tian said lazily.
"Hehe, yes." Qiao San was in a state of ecstasy. Everything around him was beautiful.
The two of them quickly returned to Zhuge Tian's courtyard.
Zhuge Tian looked at the courtyard and frowned. "Help me find another courtyard. I don't want to stay here anymore."
"Why? Didn't you like this place the most?" Qiao San was surprised.
"I suddenly understood after being trapped in the formation for a day. I can't just waste my time doing nothing." Zhuge Tian said.
Qiao San looked at him blankly.
