He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, "Liu Xing and the others are going out to handle an important matter. They will be back soon. When they return, they will not be assigned anything else. They will stay in the Tianshu Courtyard."
His priority now was to get rid of Siao Shi's idea. If not, if she really entered the Imperial Residence, there would be endless trouble.
Once there were Protectors from the House of High Dukes, Siao Shi would have more confidence. Chu Li would be the same. It would take more effort to make a move on them.
Chu Li shook his head, "I can't make the decision on this matter. It depends on the Princess."
"Then how can I not bring the Protectors?" Prince An's face slowly calmed down and said gently, "If the Protectors from the House of High Dukes come, wouldn't it be telling everyone that I am powerless to protect the Princess? I will lose face and everyone's face won't look good either, right? "
Chu Li nodded and smiled, "Your Royal Highness is right."
Prince An let out a smile, "Chief Chu Li, you are very understanding. Try to persuade the Princess."
Chu Li shook his head, "Unfortunately, I don't have the final say. It still depends on the Princess."
Prince An wanted to kill him with a palm, but he squeezed out a smile, "The only one who can persuade the Princess is you, Chief Chu. Just put in a few good words in front of her, and I'll owe you a favor."
Chu Li said, "I dare not! … Alright, since Your Royal Highness is so sincere, I will try. It's hard to say if I can persuade her or not. I can only try my best. Your Royal Highness, you know how stubborn the Princess is. "
Prince An squeezed out a smile, "No matter how stubborn the Princess is, she will not be able to resist Chief Chu Li's persuasion. I will leave everything to you. I will reward you after this."
Chu Li smiled, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness. I will try my best."
The two of them talked hypocritically. Fa Zhi shook his head at the side. The two of them were scheming against each other to this extent. Just like what Junior Fa Yuan said, it was better to stay out of it. It was best to pretend not to know.
He sighed to himself. Chu Li was so strong and Prince An was so intolerant. As the saying goes, a mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. One of them would have to leave. From the looks of it, it could only be Chu Li. With the loss of such a talent, the Imperial Residence of Prince An would suffer a great blow.
Losing a great general because of a moment of pleasure, such a lack of tolerance, King An's achievements would be limited, perhaps he would not be fated to be the emperor.
Fa Zhi looked simple and honest on the outside, but he was a man of great wisdom who appeared to be slow-witted. His foresight was outstanding, he could see through the situation and the future with just one glance. He shook his head to himself, it seemed like the temple did not need to provide any help to King An. It was a pity that he could not be helped up.
Chu Li said, "Your Royal Highness, I intend to return to the Public House to persuade the Lady."
"Mm, how many days are you going back?" King An asked.
Chu Li shook his head. "It depends on the situation. I'll try my best to come back as soon as possible. I've been busy at the Secret Guardians Hall."
"Alright." Prince An said, "Try to persuade the Princess to come back. After all, she's from the Imperial Residence, it's not appropriate for her to stay in the Public House."
"Yes." Chu Li closed fist saluted and nodded. He smiled at Fa Zhi and pressed his palms together before leaving the Cultivation Courtyard.
Fa Zhi lowered his head and closed his eyes, muttering Buddhist scriptures.
Prince An took a deep breath and suppressed his raging anger. Chu Li, it must have been Chu Li who instigated the Princess to return to the High Duke's Public House, what a despicable villain!
In that case, his plan might not work.
A hermit cultivator and I might not be able to kill him!
However, if the Princess did not bring the Protectors from the House of High Duke, everything would still be possible.

The night was hazy. Chu Li was practicing his swordsmanship in the courtyard. He wanted to fuse the Cloud Slashing Sword Technique with the Seven Forms of Godly Sword. He needed to do it bit by bit, but he had not been able to complete it. His power had increased greatly, but it was still a distance away from what he had hoped for.
He needed to immerse himself in practicing hard. Other than swordsmanship, he also needed to practice fist techniques. The Divine Light Fist needed to be carefully studied to become more proficient. When that time came, he would be able to throw a few punches at once. This way, the power would be even more shocking.
He suddenly stopped and turned his head.
Lu Yurong was dressed in a bluish-white gown. Her face was covered with a white veil, just like a fairy.
Chu Li suddenly stabbed with his sword.
"Ding …" A crisp sound was heard. She bent her finger and lightly flicked the tip of the sword.
Chu Li sheathed his sword. A bone-chilling current came from the sword. The Heavenly Demonic Orb instantly appeared and swallowed it.
"Congratulations." Chu Li smiled, "Your cultivation level has improved greatly!"
"I just came out of isolated cultivation." Lu Yurong gently took off her veil and revealed her face.
Her face was like white jade, crystal clear and warm. Her eyes were like cold stars, shining brightly.
She looked at Chu Li and smiled, "How is it?"
Chu Li praised, "Not bad."
Lu Yurong glanced at him. She was very flirtatious and said, "Still not as good as you."
Her Empyrean Fairy Power had improved a level and her inner energy was like ice. However, looking at Chu Li's expression, it was obvious that he was not affected. If he could dissolve her inner energy, it meant that he was a level higher than her.
Chu Li stretched out his hand and sat beside the stone table. He sheathed his sword.
Lu Yurong elegantly sat opposite him. A faint fragrance lingered around her.
"I heard that King An's martial arts has recovered and even improved?" Lu Yurong said lightly.
Chu Li smiled bitterly.
Lu Yurong said, "Abolishing martial arts is a shocking change for ordinary martial arts sects. It's nothing to the disciples of major sects. The Life Returning Pill from the Tempest Temple has such an effect. Green Deer Cliff is even more skilled in medicinal pills. The Primary Heaven Pill is even more powerful."
Chu Li said, "I didn't expect him to have a relationship with Green Deer Cliff."
"The spirit herbs needed to recover martial arts are getting rarer and rarer. Every time you use one, there will be one less. Most of them can't be cultivated by humans." Lu Yurong said, "That's why it's still very valuable. The Primary Heaven Pill and Life Returning Pill are even more so. It seems like he has a close relationship with Green Deer Cliff."
Chu Li slowly nodded.
"I'm going back to the Public House." Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li was surprised.
Lu Yurong said, "Fairy's Capital is good but it's not a place to stay. I should go back."
Chu Li smiled, "Is there something you need? You don't come to me without a reason. If there's nothing, you wouldn't have come to say goodbye. "
Lu Yurong looked at him flirtatiously and scoffed, "That's right. I need your help."
"Tell me about it." Chu Li leaned forward and was inches away from her delicate face.
Lu Yurong did not hide. She glared at him and scoffed, "My second brother has fallen in love with a woman and wants to marry her."
"Lu Yushu?" Chu Li laughed, "He's a playboy. He's extremely lustful. How can he marry a woman?"
"Everything has its weakness." Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li said, "Do you want me to break them up? Or to teach Lu Yushu a lesson? "
"I think there's something wrong with this woman." Lu Yurong frowned and shook her head, "But I can't find any flaws. You should go and take a look."
Chu Li was in charge of Glory's Will Courtyard. He was still the Chief of Glory's Will Courtyard in Yi Public House. He was an expert in observing people's hearts and finding traitors. His ability in this area was above her. That was why she needed his help.
Chu Li chuckled and leaned back to put some distance between them.
Lu Yurong looked at him and knew she had to do something. She stared at him coldly, "Tell me, what's your condition?"
Chu Li smiled, "It's nothing much. Help me kill someone."
"If it's King An, then forget it!" Lu Yurong scoffed.
