Chu Li sighed and said gently, "Commander, let me do it."
"Young Chu!" Fu Mengshan said impatiently, "Don't tell me you think the Secret Guardians Hall is full of useless people and you're the only capable one?"
Chu Li smiled. "I'll go into isolated cultivation in a few days. I might as well make another contribution so that Mei Er Courtyard can live more comfortably."
He turned his head and smiled. "Centurion Chen, I'll have to steal your credit again. I'm really sorry."
Chen Donghai was overjoyed but his face showed reluctance. "Centurion Chu, your identity is sensitive. It's better if you don't get involved in this case. If you don't contribute, the public won't be satisfied with the results."
He initially thought it was a big pie but realized it was not a pie at all. It was a big fire pit that anyone who jumped in would die. The few of them could escape unscathed because of the Ji Public House's warning. Even if they did not dare to kill, they would still dare to cripple a few secret guardians!
He originally thought the Ji Public House was only average but he realized he was wrong. The Grandmasters he brought were not enough. The Ji Public House was far stronger than he imagined and rumored to be.
He had to be careful when encountering a High Duke's Public House that hid their strength and bided their time. If they really investigated something extraordinary, they would definitely die. That was why he tried everything to get Chu Li to accept this mission.
The Commander was cunning and seemed to have seen through his intentions. He did not agree.
Just as he was feeling disappointed, Chu Li jumped into the fire pit himself.
Haha, Chen Donghai laughed in his heart. There was no one more stupid than him in the world. It seemed like his intelligence was just petty tricks. This kind of intelligence was destined to not go far and die young!
Cutting off one's path to wealth was like killing one's parents. Chu Li had no grudge against him but if he cut off his path to merit, he would be his mortal enemy. He would kick him away if he had the chance!
Fu Mengshan frowned. "Elder Chen is right. Young Chu, if you investigate something wrong, how are you going to explain it to the Yi Public House? If there's no problem, everyone will be skeptical. It's better not to do it. "
Xu Huande said, "You've already accepted one of these two major missions. It's a little too much to accept another. What will your colleagues think if you don't give any benefits to others?"
"I see …" Chu Li nodded slowly and sighed. "That's true. I can only trouble Centurion Chen."
Chen Donghai smiled and nodded. "I'm already very grateful for Centurion Chu's thought."
If it were not for the fact that Chu Li had helped him out of his predicament and he was indebted to him, so he could not turn against him or glare angrily at him to prevent himself from being labeled as an ungrateful person, he would have cursed him out loud. Damn it!
"Elder Chen, you should go first. Recuperate well, then quickly investigate the Ji Public House!" Fu Mengshan waved his hand.
Chen Donghai got up and fist saluted. "I'll take my leave."
He slowly walked out of the hall, staggering with each step. It seemed that he was heavily injured.
Xu. Xu.
Xu Huande scoffed and said, "This fellow is playing tricks and putting on an act!"
They looked at Chen Donghai and then at Chu Li. As commanders, it was only natural for them to protect such outstanding talents who were sincere in their work.
"Chen" Chen "Chen Chen" Chen. "Chen". "Chen Chen Li" Li was. "although Chen was Chen," Chen think Chen Chen and Chen Li was Chen'T Chen Hua.. he Chen.....
They did not know that Chu Li saw through their thoughts and catered to them. That was why he always put the Secret Guardians Hall's overall situation first.
Even if he could not take charge of the Secret Guardians Hall in the future, becoming a deputy like Commander Xu was enough for him.
Chu Li muttered, "Commander, Commander Xu, it's better if I go and investigate. Centurion Chen and the others are out in the open while I'm in the dark. The Ji Public House's actions seem magnanimous and fearless."
"The Ji Public House is not to be trifled with!" Fu Mengshan shook his head and sighed. "Especially High Duke Ji. He has a profound cultivation level and is very protective of his people. If you really want to investigate, he won't care about your seniority and will attack!"
"High Duke Ji …" Chu Li smiled. "I'd like to learn a thing or two from him."
"… That's true. Alright, you can investigate in secret." Fu Mengshan thought about it and felt that with Chu Li's cultivation level, he would not be afraid of High Duke Ji. He nodded and said, "Get in and get out quickly. … The Ministry of War did a clean job this time. It was very beautiful and completely shocked the Chancellors of the imperial court. Now, who would dare say that the Secret Guardians Hall only does bad things?"
Through the Ministry of War's purge, the status of the Secret Guardians Hall had risen greatly. The Chancellors of the imperial court also realized that the Secret Guardians Hall was not only the Emperor's lackey, but also had abilities that were far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
This was a powerful deterrent to all the people who were ready to make trouble, and they were praised by the emperor.
Chu Li nodded. "Then I'll set off now."
Fu Mengshan pondered and said, "Young Chu, it's best that you don't expose your identity. Cover your face and investigate in secret to avoid embarrassment."
"Thank you, Commander. I understand." Chu Li nodded. "I'll disguise myself as an ordinary Secret Guardian and use an alias."
Fu Mengshan took out a box from his inner pocket and handed it to Chu Li. "Take this."
Chu Li reached out to take it and opened it to take a look. It was a mask as thin as a feather. It was no different from human skin and it gave people goosebumps.
Fu Mengshan said, "This is a mask made from the skin of a Fog Beast. It can pass off as the real thing."
"Fog Beast …" Chu Li pondered and pondered in his mind. He raised his eyebrows. "The kind of Spirit Beast that can change the size and color of its body?"
"Yes." Fu Mengshan nodded and smiled. "This is something that has been extinct for a long time. There's only one of it in the secret vault of the Imperial House. I asked the Emperor for it and gave it to you!"
"Fog Beast …" Chu Li exclaimed.
The Fog Beast was a Spirit Beast that belonged to the Hundred-Thousand Hills. It could not be found in the outside world now, so it was extinct.
"This is something from ten thousand years ago," Fu Mengshan said. "Use it carefully. Don't use it if you can, lest it gets damaged."
"Yes." Chu Li nodded.
Fu Mengshan said, "I've also prepared an identity for you, Chu Lingfeng."
Xu Huande took a file from the side and handed it to him.
Chu Li reached out and took it. He opened it and glanced at it. It was a resume. It recorded where he had been since he was young, who his relatives were, where he learned his skills, and when he left the mountain.
"Chu Lingfeng's background is clean and he has nothing to worry about. After wearing the mask of the Fog Beast, no one can tell whether it's real or fake." Fu Mengshan said, "You are Chu Lingfeng. You can roam the martial arts world as a martial arts master. You can have more freedom."
Chu Li nodded slowly. "Yes. Thank you very much, Commander Xu."
"This is also the way we thought of to protect you. We don't want you to be in the limelight and get yourself killed." Fu Mengshan said, "If you are in the limelight, not only the Tempest Temple, even the Holy Church of Light will not let you go."
Chu Li nodded.
"Now that you have this identity," Fu Mengshan said, "let your original identity lie low for a few years. You can advance and retreat at the same time. The Secret Guardians Hall will not arrange any more missions for you."
Chu Li gave a fist salute.
He originally had the same idea. He did not expect the two commanders to think the same way as him.
