Chapter 1147: 1147
Chu Li was helpless . “Why does the prince want to go to Zheng Dynasty? He should just wander around in Li Dynasty’s borders!”
“Of course it’s to broaden his knowledge . How can open his eyes if he doesn’t go out of Li Dynasty’s borders?” Sun Mingyue mentioned, “You’re going to be his protector . ”
Chu Li asked, “He’s a prince, does he even lack protectors?”
“That’s why I’m sending you there,” Sun Mingyue responded .
Chu Li was irritated . “There are many masters in Li Dynasty’s palace, why should we make an unnecessary move?”
“The masters in Li Dynasty’s palace have their own roles, there isn’t any extra . ” Sun Mingyue frowned . “Stop being so long-winded, just go if I ask you to!”
“… How many protectors does he have now?”
“There are many protectors in the Prince’s Residence,” Sun Mingyue replied . “There are two masters with over a hundred years of experience . Once you’re there, you must know where you stand . ”
“I understand . ” Chu Li scoffed, “I’ll just obey all instructions . ”
Sun Mingyue commented, “You’re not so dumb after all . ”
Chu Li took a deep breath . “This is really…”
“Once you’re back safely, you’ll be the Branch Leader again,” Sun Mingyue mentioned .
Chu Li quickly said, “I want to return to Gale Branch!”
“… If Zhao Chun is guilty, you may return,” Sun Mingyue assured .

Chu Li immediately smiled .
Sun Mingyue reminded, “Don’t think that you won’t be punished just because you have a task now . After I look into the case in which you’ve injured Zhao Chun, you’ll be punished if you should be punished, and it’ll be done once you’re back from Zheng Dynasty!”
“… Yes . ” Chu Li nodded .
Sun Mingyue retrieved a letter from her desk before flicked it toward Chu Li .
Chu Li reached his hand out to receive it .
Sun Mingyue explained, “This is a letter to the prince, it’s to state your identity . Though Prince Cheng is not king yet, he has a bright future . You don’t need to be bothered about worldly powers since you’re a disciple of the Holy Church, but it doesn’t hurt to develop a good relationship with him . ”
Chu Li shook his head . “I don’t wish to be an official in the palace, and I don’t have any family members . It doesn’t matter to me if he’s the prince or not!”
Sun Mingyue ordered, “Once you’re with Prince Cheng, you must not behave so arrogantly . Don’t embarrass the Holy Church!”
“Understood!” Chu Li accepted the letter, then looked up again . “Saint, aren’t you a princess? Why do you address him as Prince Cheng?”
“You’re quite a busybody!” Sun Mingyue scoffed . “You don’t have to know, just leave!”
Chu Li looked at Sun Mingyue who was staring at him coldly .
As a sensible person, Chu Li stopped asking questions . ‘Looks like there’s a grudge between them, but I’ll find out next time . ’
He gave her a fist salute . “I’ll be leaving then!”
Sun Mingyue reminded, “Arrive in Jade Capital in three days, don’t be late!”
Chu Li responded, “Yes . ”
After that, he strode out of Divine Light Basilica .
Jade Capital was bigger than Fairy’s Capital, and it was much more prosperous . Although the buildings were scattered, there was a dense population .

In the evening when Jade Capital was painted by the beautiful afterglow, it appeared livelier than usual .
On the contrary, the buildings in the southeast area of Jade Capital were extremely quiet . It was as if it was in a different world .
The buildings there were official residences that were grand and majestic . Evidently, they belonged to the wealthy and noble families .
Chu Li arrived at an official residence .
The two lion statues in front of the residence were lifelike due to the setting sun as they guarded the red-painted gate that was tightly shut .
Chu Li could see four protectors standing at the gate . Clearly, the residence was more strictly guarded on the inside than the outside .
He went up to knock on the door .
Later, the side door was opened by a middle-aged protector who greeted Chu Li with a fist salute . “What’s your purpose of visit, Young Master?”
“Is this Prince Cheng’s Residence?” Chu Li returned the salutation .
“It is . ”
Chu Li retrieved a letter before he handed it to the protector . “Please pass this letter to the prince . ”
“Please wait for a moment . ” The middle-aged protector received the letter, then went back into the residence .
Chu Li had waited outside the residence for some time before the middle-aged protector showed up again . “The prince welcomes you . ”
Chu Li nodded . He then followed the middle-aged man through the side door .
The two of them walked past a screen wall of a crane and a pine, and went along a bluestone path before they arrived at the main hall . Once they entered the main hall, a handsome young man was seen sitting in the south of the hall .
The handsome young man sat in the armchair as he placed his teacup down slowly . He then looked at Chu Li lazily . “You’re Zhao Dahe?”

Chu Li saluted him with his fists . “Greetings, Prince, that’s me . ”
“Alright . ” The young man was Prince Sun Yucheng . He scanned Chu Li from head to toe . “Since you’re recommended by the Saint, I’m sure you’re not mediocre, so I shall not test you . Thank you in advance . ”
Chu Li nodded .
He glanced at the folding screens beside the prince, where a Grandmaster was stood on each side . The one on the left had less than a hundred years’ experience, whereas the one on his right was the opposite .
“I initially requested for two masters, but the Saint claimed that you’re equivalent to two masters which I’ll trust her for the moment . ” Sun Yucheng instructed, “Rest for today, we’ll leave tomorrow!”
Chu Li gave him a fist salute without saying a word .
“Messenger!” Sun Yucheng clapped his hands .
A green-robed elder entered . “Yes . ”
“Elder Wei, allocate an accommodation for Zhao Dahe according to a Rank-Two protector’s standard . ” Sun Yucheng added, “If you want anything, for example, food, you can let Elder Wei know . ”
The green-robed elder had a sturdy physique and a stern face . At this moment, he stooped down and smiled at Chu Li . “Protector Zhao, I’m the Head Chief of the residence, let me know if you have any needs . I’ll do my best to fulfill your wishes!”
“Thank you, Head Chief Wei . ” Chu Li gave him a fist salute .
“Protector Zhao, you’re welcome . ” Head Chief Wei smiled . Then, he said to Sun Yuzheng, “Prince, we’ll be leaving then . ”
“Quick, quick!” Sun Yucheng waved his hand at them .
Chu Li followed Head Chief Wei out of the main hall, then walked past a moon-shaped gate to a serene courtyard . After that, Head Chief Wei asked if Chu Li wanted any food or if he disliked anything and if he needed maids .
Chu Li asked for a maid as well as ordered quite a number of delicious food . He was not shy about it .
Soon enough, an elegant maid came to serve him . She looked like she was eighteen or nineteen years old, which was considered an age of innocence .

As the maid served Chu Li, he devoured all the dishes . Li Dynasty’s dishes were very different from Ji Dynasty’s, but they were both unique in their own ways .
The courtyard was brightly lit . While Chu Li sat by the stone table, he observed the entire Prince’s Residence .
The Prince’s Residence was huge, but there were not many people . Prince Sun Yucheng was practicing his swordsmanship in his courtyard at the moment .
Wearing a dark-green outfit, he had a complexion as clear as jade and he was full of youthful vigor . On top of that, his swordsmanship was outstanding as he had achieved the cultivation level of a Grandmaster . At such an age, he was rather capable .
There were a total of eight Grandmasters in the Prince’s Residence, by which two were masters of at least a hundred years of experience .
The two masters were, in fact, comparable to the Royal Highness . Chu Li wondered if all princes of Li Dynasty were the same, or Prince Cheng was simply a favored one .
A beautiful lady was seen watching the prince practice .
She wore a dark robe, had an elegant figure, and was only a fist shorter than Sun Yucheng . If she were to exist in Chu Li’s past life, she would have been a model . The lady stood straight in a graceful manner . She had a delicate oval-shaped face and long brows that complemented her charming eyes .
Once Sun Yucheng stopped, the beautiful lady handed him a handkerchief .
Sun Yucheng wiped the sweat on his forehead before he sat by the stone table where the beautiful lady handed him his teacup .
“Husband, has the master sent by Ninth Elder Sister arrived?” the beautiful lady asked with a smile .
“Mm, according to Elder Su and Elder Ren, he’s a powerful man . ” Sun Yucheng took a sip of his tea, then continued, “Ninth Elder Sister won’t fool me . ”
“That’s great . ” The beautiful lady grinned . “I’m at ease since he’s a master of the Holy Church of Light . ”
