PS: Over.
Chu Li waved his hand and sighed, "I'm the one who dragged you into this!"
"What are you talking about, Head Chief!" Liu Xing shook his head, "We knew this day would come when we chose you!"
Chu Li smiled, "If you don't want to stay in the Imperial Residence, you can go to the Public House. There won't be any suspicions there, Master Xiao Tieying will put you in an important position!"
The four of them were stunned and looked at each other. Their eyes lit up.
Chu Li smiled, "If you want to go to the Public House, you don't have to send this letter. Just go there directly. I will send someone to receive you. His Royal Highness can't do anything to you!"
The four of them were silent.
This suggestion made them excited.
They could imagine that if they stayed in the Imperial Residence, there would be endless trouble. His Royal Highness's narrow-mindedness was clearly shown when he faced the Head Chief. He was not a generous person.
Once he had a prejudice, he would keep looking for trouble and would not stop until he was dead.
As long as they stayed in the Imperial Residence, His Royal Highness would not forgive them. If one plan did not work, he would have another plan. The continuous troubles would keep bothering them.
If they followed the Head Chief's suggestion and went to the Yi Public House, Siao Tieying of the Yi Public House had a good reputation. He was fair and impartial. With the Head Chief's face, he was considered a direct descendant of the Head Chief. Naturally, he would not be mistreated.
Moreover, the treatment of the Public House was better than the Imperial Residence.
However, because the Public House had to deal with the martial arts world within their borders, it was more dangerous. It was not as comfortable as the Imperial Residence, nor was it as prosperous as the Fairy's Capital.
For a moment, they were hesitant.
Chu Li smiled, "Go back and think about it. There's no rush to decide. It won't be too late to decide after this. You can leave anytime you want."
"Yes, thank you, Head Chief. We will think about it," Liu Xing and the others closed fist saluted and left.
Chu Li watched them leave and frowned.
When Prince An was recovering his martial arts, he had been thinking about how to take revenge on him. That was why he could not wait to show it. Step by step, he did not mess up at all.
Was his ultimate goal to chase him out of the Imperial Residence?
He hated him to the core. It would not be that simple. First, he clipped his wings, and then he killed him?
But now, with his martial arts, if he couldn't deal with him, then he must be secretly looking for a top expert. In this world, how many people could suppress him? He was curious who King An would invite.
Prince An relied on Zheng Lide the most now, so he could ask him about it.
Initially, he was disdainful of Prince An's tricks. Things like taking over the position of Head Chief and seducing him with his beauty were all child's play. Now that he had angered him, he would pretend to be a disciple of the Amethyst Mountain and cripple him again so that he would obediently go into isolated cultivation.
However, King An wanted to clip his wings and deal with the people around him, so he had no choice but to treat it seriously. If he really failed miserably in an easy task and still had to use the Eclipse Purloin Skill, then he would be in big trouble.
He decided to teach King An another lesson this time, so that he would not be unscrupulous and go overboard.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and a cool breeze blew gently.
Zheng Lide was cultivating in the courtyard, bathing in the cold moonlight.
Zhu Tianhua's voice could be heard from outside. "Commander Zheng, Chief Chu requests your presence."
"Chief Chu?" Zheng Lide was startled.
He immediately remembered that it was Chu Li.
At the mention of Chu Li, he felt goosebumps in his heart.
Even though he sided with the Royal Highness and went against Chu Li, he still respected Chu Li very much, so he would not meet him if he could.
"It's late, I'm already asleep," Zheng Lide said. "If there's anything, we'll talk tomorrow."
Zhu Tianhua said in a low voice, "Chief Chu said that if you don't go, he will come personally. It's best not to trouble him to come personally."
"… Alright then," Zheng Lide nodded helplessly.
If Chu Li came personally, he would not be talking nicely, he would definitely teach him a lesson. If he knew what was good for him, he could only go now.
He pushed the door open and saw the tall and sturdy Zhu Tianhua standing outside, coldly staring at him.
Zheng Lide said, "Let's go."
Zhu Tianhua said in a low voice, "Please!"
Zheng Lide followed him and walked forward. He spoke to dispel the uneasiness in his heart. "When did Protector Zhu come to the Imperial Residence?"
"Not long ago," Zhu Tianhua was a man of few words.
He knew that Zheng Lide was loyal to the Royal Highness, so he was his enemy. There was no need to be too polite.
Zheng Lide looked at his expression and shook his head helplessly. He sighed and did not say anything else.
When they arrived at Chu Li's courtyard, Zheng Lide stood still. He hesitated and did not move. He was anxious and had an inexplicable fear. He did not want to go in.
Zhu Tianhua stood at the side and did not move. It was as if he was preventing him from escaping.
Zheng Lide looked at him and took a deep breath. He slowly raised his hand and knocked on the door lightly. It made a 'knock knock' sound. It was so soft that it could not be heard. He hurriedly used a little more force and knocked twice.
'Knock knock.' This time, the sound was very loud. It was especially loud in the night sky.
Chu Li's clear voice came from inside. "Come in."
Zheng Lide took another deep breath and pushed the door open. He entered the courtyard and closed fist saluted. "Chief!"
Chu Li was sitting at the stone table drinking wine. The white jade cup emitted a warm luster under the moonlight. It was as if his whole body was also emitting a warm luster.
He looked at Zheng Lide calmly and extended his hand. "Come and sit."
Zheng Lide came and sat opposite him.
Chu Li smiled. "Do you want a cup?"
"Thank you, Chief. There is no need." Zheng Lide shook his head and looked at Chu Li sternly.
Chu Li said gently, "His Royal Highness' martial arts recovery is all thanks to you, Commander Zheng. Unfortunately, His Royal Highness cannot say it clearly. No one knows."
Zheng Lide's expression changed slightly. He shook his head. "Chief, I do not understand."
Chu Li laughed. "Do you think you can hide it from me?"
Zheng Lide was silent.
He knew the strength of the Head Chief's influence in the Imperial Residence the best. Even the Royal Highness was not clear about it. Almost everyone supported the Head Chief. He was really powerful. Going against the Head Chief was really asking for trouble.
Chu Li said, "You went to Green Deer Cliff?"
"… Yes." Zheng Lide secretly sighed in relief. It seemed that the Head Chief knew and was not lying to him.
Chu Li sighed. "I did not expect Green Deer Cliff to have such a spirit pill! His Royal Highness is related to someone from Green Deer Cliff? "
"His Royal Highness saved the parents of a disciple from Green Deer Cliff. This disciple gave His Royal Highness a Primary Heaven Pill as repayment," Zheng Lide said.
Chu Li let out a smile. "Commander Zheng, you are very smart."
Zheng Lide's neck was not tough enough. He did not insist on not saying anything. Instead, he directly confessed. He was indeed smart.
If he really wanted to be stubborn, Chu Li planned to use him to show King An. He wanted King An to understand that King An was not the only one who could cut off his wings. He could do it too. Let's see who was better at cutting off his wings!
Zheng Lide closed fist saluted.
Chu Li said, "His Royal Highness sent you to invite a master, right?"
"… Yes." Zheng Lide slowly nodded.
He felt bitter in his heart. The Head Chief was indeed too smart and well-informed. Nothing could be hidden from him.
"Which master?" Chu Li said calmly. "I would like to see which master can suppress me."
