As soon as Liu Li said that, the five people in the main hall were stunned!
Immediately, Yan Dingjiang and the other three looked at Liu Li and said loudly, "Palace Master, you can't do this!"
On the other side, when the envoy heard that Liu Li had agreed to go to the Imperial City, he quickly knelt down and said, "Princess is wise. In order to express my sincerity, I have brought the royal family's mount to welcome the princess to the Imperial City!"
The royal family's mount was a tamed exotic beast. Due to the preciousness of exotic beasts and the fact that most of them were flying exotic beasts, it was extremely difficult to train them. Therefore, they were very rare. For a small country like Gu Juan Country, only the royal family and the Sacred Land could afford them.
Generally speaking, if one used horses to travel, it would take ten days to reach Tri-Continent City from Wasteland City even if they traveled day and night. However, if one used a mount, it would take about two to three days. When they reached Tri-Continent City, they would be able to reach the Imperial City directly through the teleportation formation.
Yan Dingjiang and the other three kept persuading Liu Li. Their voices were loud, especially Yan Dingjiang who quickly said, "Palace Master, we need to consider this at length. You can't agree rashly!"
"Yes, Palace Master, please take back what you just said. Otherwise, our entire Glazed Tile Palace will be in danger!" Wang Quansheng quickly said.
"…"
However, no matter how the four deputy palace masters tried to persuade her, Liu Li's expression remained unchanged. She frowned as if she was seriously thinking about something. It did not seem like she had casually agreed, which made people suspect that she had her own plans.
"I have already decided on this matter. You don't need to say anymore." Liu Li looked at the four deputy palace masters and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to me."
Then, Liu Li looked at the envoy and said coldly, "You can leave first. When I have to leave, I will naturally send someone to find you."
"Yes!" The envoy quickly said, "I will be in the city waiting for the princess's orders!"
After that, the envoy quickly left the main hall. Seeing that the matter was almost a foregone conclusion, the four deputy palace masters became even more anxious.
"Palace Master, you really can't go to the Imperial City. This is definitely a trap!"
"That's right. Have you forgotten how your second brother was killed? This was what you told us. If he can kill your brother, he can also kill you! "
"…"
Hearing their words, Liu Li glanced at the four Vice Palace Masters, took a deep breath, and said, "I know you're worried about me, but don't worry, I won't act recklessly. While I'm away, I still need the four of you to control the situation. "
After saying that, Liu Li stood up and said, "You guys can continue to discuss the future development of Glazed Tile Palace in the conference hall. I have something to do."
After that, Liu Li left the main hall, leaving the four Deputy Palace Masters looking at each other helplessly.

Half an hour later, someone knocked on the door of a simple house.
Lu An, who was cultivating, opened his eyes and looked at the door. "Please come in."
The door was opened, and the person who came in was none other than Liu Li who had just left the City Lord's Mansion.
Lu An looked at Liu Li and did not seem surprised. She came almost every day, but today was a little early. As usual, he asked, "What's the matter?"
In the past, Liu Li would say no, or "Can't I come to see you if I don't have anything?" But today, her expression was obviously different. She was even very serious as she said, "Yes."
Lu An was startled when he heard this. He also noticed that Liu Li's state was not right, so he asked, "What's the matter?"
"Liu Jiuguang's envoy just came. Liu Jiuguang asked me to go to the palace to discuss important matters." Liu Li said concisely.
Lu An frowned and said, "Banquet at Hongmen?"
"It should be." Liu Li nodded and said, "But I agreed."
Lu An was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Why?"
"It's nothing. This kind of thing can't be avoided. Sooner or later, I'll have to talk to him face to face." Liu Li looked at Lu An and said seriously, "I've been in Great Desolate City for a long time, so it's time for me to go back and take a look."
"…"
Lu An frowned slightly. When Liu Li said what she just said, her face was expressionless, without any nostalgia. It was obvious that she was lying.
Liu Li also knew that she could not lie to Lu An, so she did not panic. She just looked at Lu An quietly and said, "This trip will be very dangerous, so you have to accompany me."
Lu An's heart sank when he heard this. He knew that this was Liu Li's real purpose.
Yes, that was what Liu Li thought. Lu An was supposed to protect her for three months, and now, there were only eight days left. For a while, she had been thinking about how to keep Lu An by her side, but there was nothing she could do. The sudden arrival of the envoy gave her a glimmer of hope.
If she wanted to go to the Royal City, Lu An would have to accompany her. If something happened in the Royal City, Lu An would definitely save her. At that time, their relationship might develop rapidly, and Lu An would not leave.
Of course, this would also bring Lu An into danger, which Liu Li did not want to see. But if Lu An was in danger or even died, then she would definitely die too. If she could die with Lu An, she would be willing.
She knew that her thoughts were twisted, and she also knew that her methods were despicable. She did not even care about the entire Glazed Tile Palace, but she still did it.
Lu An frowned more and more. He was not stupid and knew what Liu Li wanted to do. He also knew that it was useless for him to say anything now. The only thing he could do was to accompany her and leave when the time came. As long as the Holy Land's Head was not there, nothing would happen to him.
"Okay." Lu An said, "When do we leave?"
"In the afternoon." Liu Li said, "I still have some things to tell them. We will leave immediately after noon."
"Okay." Lu An nodded.
Liu Li left and returned to the City Lord's Mansion to tell the four Deputy Palace Masters a lot of things. She even arranged what to do if something happened to her.
After noon, Lu An also arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion on time and set off with Liu Li. Before they set off, the four Deputy Palace Masters saw that Lu An was also coming and were slightly relieved. After telling Lu An many things, they left.
The emissary came and used a special thing to make a sound. Immediately, a huge Strange Beast appeared in the sky and flew outside the City Lord's Mansion. This Strange Beast was several feet long. Not to mention three people, it was more than enough to carry thirteen people.
After the three of them got on the back of the Strange Beast, it immediately let out a long cry and flapped its wings, flying straight into the sky. This Strange Beast was a Rank Four Strange Beast. Its flying speed was extremely fast. Standing on its back and looking at the blurred desert below, Lu An could not help but frown.
If they fell from this height, even he would fall to his death. Therefore, he secretly used Immortal Qi to gently surround the Strange Beast's neck to prevent any accidents.
"Stay close to me." Lu An said softly to Liu Li, "In case something happens."
Hearing Lu An's words, Liu Li was naturally very happy. She was very close to Lu An. The two of them stood side by side, making Liu Li feel very happy.
The emissary standing close to the Strange Beast's head looked at the two of them. In fact, it was not that he did not think of throwing the two of them down from such a height. However, he did not do so. The Princess only brought this one person to the Royal City. Although this person looked very young, it was very likely that he was a powerhouse. His strength was weak, and if something were to happen to him, he would die without a burial ground.
Therefore, this trip could be considered safe. The Strange Beast continued to fly in the sky. Lu An sat cross-legged on the Strange Beast's back and cultivated. Liu Li did not leave Lu An's side at all. In this way, after two days and one night, the Strange Beast successfully flew out of the Shikukan Desert's border and directly arrived at the Three Continents City.
A geographically important city like the Three Continents City and the Royal City naturally had a teleportation array, but it was controlled by the City Lord's Mansion. The emissary brought Liu Li and Lu An to the teleportation array, and the three of them entered together. After three breaths of time, in the sky above a luxurious mansion in the Royal City, the teleportation array lit up and the three of them walked out with the Strange Beast.
The Strange Beast flew back to its place. When the three of them appeared, the surrounding people immediately went forward to welcome them. Especially when they saw that the Princess had returned, the surrounding people immediately knelt down to pay their respects.
"Princess, look, the people in the Royal City miss you very much!" The emissary said to Liu Li flatteringly, "Let's go to the Royal Palace. The King has probably already prepared a banquet and is waiting for the Princess to return!"
Liu Li glanced at the emissary. If she had heard these words before, she might have believed them. However, after seeing Liu Jiuguang's true face, these words only made Liu Li feel even more disgusted.
Liu Li did not speak. Instead, she looked at Lu An.
Seeing this, Lu An nodded slightly and said, "Let's go."
