Chu Li returned to the small courtyard of the inn as dusk arrived and the lanterns were lit.
Xiao Qi, Lu Yurong, and Fa Yuan were waiting. When they saw him return safely, they smiled at him.
"Did you change your job?" Lu Yurong asked.
Chu Li shook his head. "It's not that easy. This mayor won't give up until he hits a brick wall."
"Looks like I'll have to do it again." Lu Yurong smiled. "Remember, I owe him another favor!"
Chu Li said, "Forget it, I don't dare to use you."
"Oh?" Lu Yurong glanced at him. "Are you going to let Third Lady do it alone? Third Lady Xiao and I work together quite well. Isn't that right, Third Lady Xiao? "
Xiao Qi ignored her provocation and asked calmly, "Chu Li, what do you want to do?"
Chu Li smiled. "You don't have to worry about this. I'll take care of it."
Lu Yurong looked at him curiously. "He must be on high alert now. It's impossible to kidnap that little guy without him knowing. The Protectors in the Town Defense Prefecture are weak. I suggest we just barge in and teach him a lesson. Otherwise, he'll be too arrogant and use you as a ladder!"
Xiao Qi nodded.
She also thought that this was a good idea. Using force to break through tricks. No matter how many tricks he had, it would be futile if he was not strong enough. As long as Chang Gui was aware of this, he would not provoke Chu Li and humiliate him.
She hated Chang Gui and saw through his evil intentions. She wanted to teach him a lesson and let him know that some people could not be humiliated or used.
Fa Yuan said, "I'll do it."
Even if Chu Li's martial arts was crippled, he was still a master who was on par or even better than him. He could not bear to see Chu Li being humiliated.
Chu Li smiled. "This time, you don't have to do anything. Using force won't help much."
"What do you want?" Lu Yurong scoffed. "So secretive!"
"Let me keep you in suspense." Chu Li smiled. "Just wait for the news tomorrow."
Lu Yurong rolled her eyes.
Fa Yuan pressed his palms together and shook his head.

The morning sun was still shining but the world was still dark. There was only a ray of light in the sky.
Chang Gui's grandson, Chang An, was a cute little boy who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
His mother, Xiuyun, held him in her arms. She was afraid of losing him, so she hugged him tightly, afraid that the child would be gone if she let go.
Four Grandmasters stood guard outside the door, one on the roof and the other three at the corner of the wall, ready to defend against any sneak attacks.
They were motionless and in a state of half-awake and half-asleep. Their senses were the sharpest.
With the sound of footsteps, Chang Gui slowly walked into the courtyard.
"Master." The four Grandmasters closed fist saluted. They were Chang Da and the other three.
Chang Gui waved his hand. "Any movement?"
"No." The four of them shook their heads.
Chang Da said, "We've been keeping watch all night, but there's been no movement. It looks like they've retreated."
"Yes." Chang Gui nodded.
His original prediction was that Chu Li would send someone to attack them last night, but now it seemed that he was wrong. He did not know what Chu Li was up to.
Xiu Yun woke up when she heard the voice. She called out, "Father."
"Xiuyun, did An 'er sleep well?"
"I didn't wake up for the whole night."
"Oh, that's good."
"Ah!" Xiu Yun suddenly screamed.
Chang Gui could not care less about the boundaries between men and women. He rushed into the house and saw Xiu Yun staring at a pair of silver bracelets on the table.
"Xiu Yun, what's wrong?" Chang Gui asked.
The little boy, Chang An, rubbed his eyes and sat up. He pouted and wanted to cry. "Mother …"
Xiu Yun's face was pale as she stared at the silver bracelets.
"Xiu Yun!" Chang Gui shouted.
Xiu Yun quickly said, "Father, someone came last night!"
"Hmm?" Chang Gui looked at her in confusion. "Could it be this silver bracelet?"
"When I was knocked out yesterday, the silver bracelet disappeared." Xiu Yun pursed her red lips and said with a trembling voice, "Before I went to sleep last night, I was regretting that this silver bracelet was given to me by An 'er's father. It's passed down from his mother-in-law. It's such a pity to lose it, but now it's here!"
Chang Gui's face darkened. "You're saying that someone came last night?"
"Yes!" Xiu Yun nodded.
Chang Gui walked to the table and picked up the silver bracelet. Below the bracelet was a flower petal with dew on it.
His face darkened. "Chu Li!"
"Father, was it Chu Li?" Xiu Yun asked.
Chang Gui waved his hand. "Don't worry about it. Don't bring An out today!"
"Yes." Xiu Yun nodded.
Even if he wanted her to bring An Er out to play, she would not go. It was too dangerous outside. Who knew if An Er would be sent back safely the next time they made a move!
Chang Gui went to the bed and patted Chang An's head.
"Grandfather … An Er wants to ride a horse!" Chang An extended his hands.
Chang Gui chuckled. "After dinner, I'll bring An Er to ride a horse, okay?"
"Okay!" Chang An nodded obediently.
Chang Gui patted his head happily and left the house.
He sat in the main hall with a gloomy face. He frowned as he stroked his beard.
Chang Da asked softly, "Master, are we going to deal with Chu Li?"
"Forget it!" Chang Gui scoffed. "This young man is indeed famous. He does have some strange abilities! Go and inform him that he's been transferred to the Town Defense Prefecture. There's no need for him to come. "
"Yes." Chang Da replied and asked softly, "Are we going to let this young man go?"
"We'll deal with him after his companions leave!" Chang Gui sneered. "I don't believe I can't deal with someone who doesn't know any martial arts!"
"Yes." Chang Da laughed. "Master is wise. A man can advance and retreat at the same time!"
"Don't flatter me. Go and inform him!" Chang Gui scoffed.
Chang Da fist saluted and left.
—
Chu Li fist saluted as he watched Chang Da leave the courtyard. Lu Yurong looked at him in shock.
However, Xiao Qi knew that he had used a divine power.
His God's Limbs could reach the boy's house in an instant. He put down the silver bracelet and disappeared without a sound. It was shocking enough.
Since he could put down the silver bracelet without a sound, it would be easy for him to put down other things. He could even kill someone. This would make Chang Gui understand that his grandson's life was in Chu Li's hands.
Lu Yurong smiled. "It's a pity that we didn't get to see the show!"
Fa Yuan pressed his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha. He finally managed to save his face.
Fa Yuan felt uncomfortable when he thought of Chu Li sweeping the streets.
Chu Li said, "He's just staying put for now. Once you leave, he'll play tricks again. Next time, we must teach him a lesson so that he won't dare to do anything bad again!"
"Then we'll leave today. Let him make his move!" Lu Yurong smiled.
She turned to look at Xiao Qi. "What about Third Lady Xiao?"
Xiao Qi said, "I'll leave in a few days."
"Oh, you're together already?" Lu Yurong smiled faintly. "Third Lady Xiao, aren't you too unreserved? No matter what, you're still the Third Lady of the Public House. You're as pure as ice and as clean as jade. "
Chu Li snapped, "Don't talk so much!"
Lu Yurong said, "Chu Li, you've gained a blessing in disguise. You used Third Lady Xiao's kindness and sympathy to keep her."
Chu Li scoffed. "Do you want to stay too?"
"Do you dare to keep me?" Lu Yurong chuckled and raised her eyebrows flirtatiously.
Xiao Qi frowned at her.
Chu Li hurriedly waved his hand. "Have a safe trip. I won't send you off!"
Fa Yuan pressed his palms together. "Then we'll bid farewell. We'll visit you again in a few days."
"Go, go." Chu Li waved his hand.
