Chapter 417
"Who did this?" Leng Feng's voice deepened .
"Chu Li!" a masked man in black spoke and with a widened mouth, he spat out blood, drenching his black band black .
He took down his black band, revealing his thin face . White as a sheet, with no flush of blood .
"Uncle Yi, Chu Li did this alone?" a Prince shouted .
Yi Lixing slowly nodded . "It's him . "
As he spoke, he closed his eyes and continued to channel in order to suppress the violent blade force .
This blade force was substantial, as though a miniature sword was cutting through within, chopping off his internal organs . Yi Lixing's channeling to recover could not keep up with the speed that this miniature sword was hurting him at . His injury was getting more severe .
He took out a porcelain bottle and poured out two pills and dumped them into his mouth .
The Princes all were upset . "Chu Li, how dare he!"
Leng Tao said, "It's impossible . He alone took care of fourteen masters?"
"Was there anyone else?" asked Leng Feng .
The fourteen masked men were focused on their healing and did not respond .
Leng Feng was awkward and unusually enraged . "This Chu Li sure has some guts! … But fourteen people can't beat him, it's just…"
He shook his head .
The fourteen men in black kept their anger within as they did not have the face to say anything more . They bit their tongues .
They were fourteen Grandmasters encircling . Not only did they not take care of Chu Li, but they were also wounded by him to this extent . It was embarrassing, to say the least, or else they would have long rebutted Leng Feng .
Leng Feng stood there, frowning without saying a word .
He really could not imagine how fourteen Grandmasters could not defeat Chu Li and were deeply wounded by him . Now Chu Li would be famous in the Fairy's Capital, maybe even the world!
"Do not speak of this incident . Or else, nobody's gonna look good . " Leng Feng swept his gaze over the Princes and finally fixated on the fourteen Grandmasters .
The Princes all nodded .
"Right, this can't be spread! We cannot let Chu Li become famous!" Leng Tao raised his voice .
Leng Feng glared at him viciously .
Leng Tao shut his trap in embarrassment .
He currently hated Chu Li to the core yet feared him so . Chu Li hit people without warning . He only dared to go behind his back . He had no guts to face him head-on .
Leng Feng took a deep breath and shifted his head to look at everybody . "Everyone is capable of keeping secrets, right?'
"Of course," all of them responded in unison .
"Whoever dares to leak this out will face my wrath!" scoffed Leng Feng .
All of them struck their chest in a gesture to guarantee the non-exposure and vowed that this never happened .
——
In the afternoon of the second day, Chu Li was reading in the Tianshu Courtyard when there was an announcement coming from the outside . The chief of the Imperial Residence of King Jing has paid a visit to guide Chu Li the way .
A middle-aged handsome man was sitting in the hall and Chief Zhou was accompanying him with tea and chitter chatter .

"Chief Zhou, the Head Chief of your Imperial Residence has quite the reputation . It is impressive for the Imperial Residence of King An to have such a talent . Definitely a sign of flourish and prosperity . " the handsome man put down his cup and chuckled .
"Oh no, Chief Zhang is too polite . I wonder if something's the matter with Consort Lu seeking the Head Chief? . . . As far as I know, the Head Chief has nothing to do with your Imperial Residence?" Chief Zhou laughed .
"About this… we as subordinates wouldn't know . Perhaps the princess saw what a heroic young man he is and wanted to see for herself . " Zhang Ci, the treasurer of the Imperial Residence of King Jing chortled and waved his arm .
"I see! The Head Chief is a rare hero . Perhaps the princess eyed his talent and wants to solicit Head Chief as her in law, haha!" Chief Zhou smiled .
"Oh, it is not proper to make such a joke! The marriage of the Young Lady is not something we as subordinates can joke about . " Zhang Ci quickly waved his arms .
"The way I see it, the talent of our Head Chief could match up to the Young Lady Ying . " smiled Chief Zhou .
Zhang Ci shook his head . "If your words were to land on the Princess' ears, it will anger her . It's better to be careful with your words . "
He was cursing him within . What a statement, talking about matching up to our Young Lady Ying . How dare he speak of this .
Chu Li entered the hall at a slow pace .
Chief Zhou wiped away the smile on his face and stood up solemnly . "Head Chief!"
Chu Li nodded and closed fist saluted at Zhang Ci . "Sorry to trouble Chief Zhang with the long wait . Let's proceed . "
"Yes . Head Chief, please . " Zhang Ci stripped away his smile and closed fist saluted with seriousness .
Chief Zhou immediately jumped in, "Head Chief, do you need to bring along a maid?"
"There's no need, I will return shortly," answered Chu Li .
"Yes . " Chief Zhou nodded .

Chu Li's fame was rising in the Imperial Residence . He as the treasurer dared not slack to prevent Chu Li from getting dirt on him and replaced .
Chu Li followed Zhang Ci out of the Imperial Residence and rode horses for more than a kilometer and a half before arriving at a vast Imperial Residence .
With yellow tile bricks and a red roof, it was certainly magnificent and grand looking .
The Imperial Residence of King Jing did not seem too different from the Imperial Residence of King An . The exterior looked the same but the aura surrounding the entire Residence was different . It was brilliant and stronger than that of the Imperial Residence of King An . Its imposing grandeur was mightier and forceful .
A little door beside the residence was opened and Leng Feng brought a group of people out . Taking about twenty steps, they arrived near Chu Li .
Leng Feng closed fist saluted and dully greeted, "Head Chief Chu, this way please—!"
Chu Li closed fist saluted . "Prince Feng, please . "
Leng Feng waved his arm and the people that were behind him all retreated by a few steps .
The two walked at the front, heading towards the door at the side .
Chu Li frowned but did not say anything .
According to the rules, the Imperial Residence should open their main entrance and not go through this side door with the rank he was at .
Leng Feng did this on purpose to slight his pride . Chu Li felt it was immature but gave no thought to it . There would be a day when he would come begging for help .
"How are the protectors of your Imperial Residence?" Chu Li passingly asked .
Leng Feng frowned and coldly blurted out, "They're great, thanks for asking . "
Chu Li let out a smile . "If they can't take it anymore, let them come and seek me . "
Leng Feng narrowed his eyes and gave him a death stare .

Chu Li returned the favor calmly .
The scribes and protectors lightened their footsteps and held their breaths . They were on tenterhooks .
"Hey! Just you wait . " Leng Feng scoffed .
Chu Li smiled .
He was confident with his blade force . They were not capable of vanquishing it . They would be suffering by the minute and the injury inflicted would worsen . Sooner or later they would not be able to take it and seek him out for help .
"Leng Feng!" Lu Yurong and Leng Ying came out .
She was dressed in a bluish white gown while Leng Ying was in a pale pink gown as they trod in .
She saw Chu Li and him enter from the side door and instantly darkened her beautiful porcelain face .
Leng Feng frowned . "Cousin sister, why are you here?"
Lu Yurong swept her gaze at him in disdain and dully said, "You may leave, leave Chu Li to me . "
"Leave him to you? Cousin sister, you're a female . It is not appropriate . It's better that I attend to him . " Leng Feng snorted .
"It seems that I need to inform Aunt . Improper and reckless . " Lu Yurong frowned .
"Cousin sister! There're outsiders here . " Leng Feng became angry out of embarrassment as he lowered his voice .
Lu Yurong shifted her head to Chu Li and closed fist saluted . "Head Chief Chu, this way please——!"
Chu Li smiled . "I'm finally able to witness the manner of the Imperial Residence of King Jing . It really is a standard beyond reach . "
Lu Yurong answered, "He knows nothing . Head Chief Chu, please do not take offense . "
