Chu Li raised his head and looked at him, then smiled, "Old? Don't worry, you'll be fine. "
Chief Zhu hurriedly showed a friendly smile, "Thank you, Head Chief."
Chu Li said, "You're friendly to everyone, His Royal Highness can't do anything about it. Also, you're doing well as the External Chief of the Imperial Residence. You don't need to be afraid, as long as you maintain the mentality of treading on thin ice, your position as the External Chief will be as stable as a rock."
"Yes, thank you for your advice, Head Chief!" Chief Zhu hurriedly said.
Chu Li nodded and walked in, his mind was on King An. He saw King An coming to the study room in high spirits.
The study room had been empty for a long time, so there was some dust on it. King An immediately flew into a rage. He found two maids and immediately gave them a beating. The two maids' skin was lacerated, they screamed and begged for mercy.
King An stood on the steps, his bright yellow robe was handsome, but his gaze was as cold as ice.
He looked at the two maids who were lying on the floor, then glanced at the few scribes who were as silent as cicadas in winter, he said in a low voice, "During the days I was in Isolated Cultivation, it seems like you've lived a good life, you've all put on some weight!"
Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads.
King An had a good reputation, but he was lenient on the outside and cautious on the inside. The rules in the Imperial Residence were strict, the things he ordered them to do were not too tiring, but they were on tenterhooks, afraid of making mistakes, so they could not put on weight.
During the days when King An was not around, they also did those things, but without King An by their side, they had no pressure, they were relaxed and fat, so it was inevitable that they would slack off. At this moment, they were all anxious and fearful.
King An lightly said, "From today onwards, everything will return to normal. I hope you take care of yourselves, don't provoke me, or else you won't have a good time."
"Yes," everyone replied respectfully.
King An nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and gestured for them to leave.
The two maids reluctantly thanked King An, and were carried out, they would need to rest on the bed for at least ten days.
Chu Li walked towards Tianshu Courtyard, he walked slowly, everything that happened in his mind.
He sighed to himself, as expected, after King An suffered a setback, his temperament had become more impetuous, and more dangerous.
Before he got close to Tianshu Courtyard, he heard the sound of a guzheng, Siao Shi was playing the guzheng.
From the sound of the zither, she seemed to be in a good mood, calm and happy.
This kind of life where she almost stayed in the courtyard and did not come out, occasionally going to the back garden of the Imperial Residence to have a look, was boring and depressing to most people. However, Siao Shi was used to this kind of life, it was similar to when she was in the House of Duke.
She felt that it was not bad. It was peaceful and peaceful without any worries. Occasionally, she would listen to Chu Li talk about the outside world and follow him around to see the scenery. Sometimes, she would go to the Spirit Cranes Peak to play with the little crane. Her days were exciting enough.
As he entered the courtyard, the sound of the zither stopped abruptly.
Xiao Shi's hands left the zither and waved at him.
Chu Li walked over and sat opposite her. Amidst the faint fragrance, her face was as white as jade. She was extremely beautiful, and her eyes were so deep that they seemed to be able to suck one's soul into them. Even though he saw her every day, he still found it hard to look into her eyes.
"Has King An recovered his martial arts?" Siao Shi asked calmly.
Chu Li was stunned. He smiled and asked, "When did you find out?"
"In the Public House, I'm more well-informed than you are!" Siao Shi smiled, "I can't believe this troublemaker has recovered his martial arts!"
Chu Li nodded, "I saw him just now."
"His appearance has changed again?" Siao Shi scoffed, "More honest?"
Chu Li shook his head, "Quite the opposite. He's become even more savage. My Lady, you should be careful. If anything goes wrong, just pinch the sarira beads!"
"Yes, I know." Siao Shi nodded and scoffed, "Just cripple him again!"
Chu Li frowned and thought for a while. He shook his head, "Once is fine, but twice is too much. Let's wait and see."
"You can't spoil this guy. Once he raises his head, you have to suppress him. Or else, he'll definitely cause a ruckus. Just you wait and see!" Siao Shi scoffed, "I'm just annoyed when I see him. I don't want to see him!"
"Then don't meet him." Chu Li said, "He promised not to come to Tianshu Courtyard."
"Out of sight, out of mind!" Siao Shi said.
As the two of them were talking, Zheng Lide's voice came from outside, "Head Chief, His Royal Highness has invited you to the Precious Light Courtyard."
Chu Li nodded, "Yes."
"What does he want now?" Siao Shi frowned.
Chu Li said, "I guess he can't wait to get rid of my position as the Head Chief."
"Get rid of it again?" Siao Shi scoffed, "He's really annoying. It's as if the position of Head Chief is a treasure!"
Chu Li smiled, "To an ordinary person, that's true."
"Do you care about that too?" Siao Shi rolled her eyes at him.
Chu Li said, "It doesn't matter if I have this position now."
"You might as well not go!" Siao Shi said, "Just say that you don't have the time to bother with him!"
Chu Li chuckled.
Siao Shi said, "Since he's so shameless, you don't have to be nice to him."
Chu Li smiled, "Let's see how he does it. It's quite interesting."
Siao Shi rolled her eyes at him.
When Chu Li arrived at the Precious Light Courtyard, Song Liuying and Xue Ningyu were there. Leng Qing and Leng Qiu were also sitting at the side.
Prince An sat at the main seat in the living room. Xu Ning sat on the lower right while the lower left seat was left for him. Song Liuying and Xue Ningyu were separated by a distance.
Chu Li closed fist saluted and greeted each of them. He then sat opposite Xu Ning and looked at Prince An, "What's the matter, His Royal Highness?"
"It's about your position." Prince An said seriously, "Now that I've recovered my martial arts, I can manage the matters in the Imperial Residence. Chu Li, you're now the Centurion of the Secret Guardians Hall. You're also in a high position. You need to focus on your work and your energy is limited. Leave the matters in the Imperial Residence to me."
Chu Li smiled and closed fist saluted, "I'm grateful for Prince An's understanding."
"Then from today onwards, you'll be the Chief of Tianshu Courtyard. You'll be relieved of your position as Head Chief." Prince An nodded in satisfaction.
He felt strangely depressed. What he wanted to see was Chu Li's depressed expression. In the end, it was as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He was relaxed and happy.
Chu Li smiled, "That's great. It's easy to take care of such a huge Imperial Residence when there's nothing to do. I feel that I'm lacking in energy too."
"Very good." Prince An was depressed but his face showed a satisfied expression. He nodded, "You've worked hard all this while. I want to reward you. You don't have a maid yet, right?"
Chu Li waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Royal Highness. Once Xue Ling returns, she'll be my maid."
"Xue Ling hasn't returned yet." Prince An said, "I'll find a beautiful maid. You'll definitely be satisfied. Don't worry!"
Chu Li smiled and shook his head, "You flatter me."
Prince An's face darkened. He said coldly, "Chief Chu, are you going to reject my kindness? Are you looking down on me? "
Chu Li said, "Your Royal Highness, I'm most curious about how you recovered your martial arts."
"Tomorrow, the maid will come to your courtyard." King An scoffed coldly and said, "The recovery of my martial arts is a coincidence. My sudden realization of the Golden Lohan's Power allowed me to recover to my original state in just one night. My power even doubled. How miraculous!"
Chu Li smiled.
He was also cultivating the Golden Lohan's Power. Although it was delayed by the Cloud Slashing Power and the Heavenly Demonic Power, he still took some time to cultivate it every day. It was very beneficial to the Sentient Menace and he was about to break through.
