Chapter 621
Chu Li waved his hands and sighed . "This is all because of me!"
"Don't say that, Head Chief!" Liu Xing quickly shook his head . "When we pledged yourselves to you, we expected this day would come!"
Chu Li smiled . "If you feel like you want to stay in the Imperial Residence, you could go to the Public House . Over at the Public House, there won't be a need for second-guessing, the eldest master will make good use of you!"
The four of them were startled . They glanced at each other, their eyes glinting .
Chu Li smiled . "If you wish to go to the Public House, then there is no need to deliver the letter, just go . I'll send someone to meet you, his Royal Highness can do nothing about it!"
The four of them did not say a word .
The suggestion made their hearts skip a beat .
They could imagine that staying at the Imperial Residence would cause them endless grief . His Royal Highness was a petty person, and he showed it whenever he met the Head Chief . He was definitely not a kind person . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting .
He would constantly look for trouble when he felt slighted .
As long as they were in the Imperial Residence, his Royal Highness would definitely not forgive them . If one plan did not work, there would be another . Endless troubles would constantly plague them .
If they heeded the Head Chief's words and headed to the Yi Public House… Xiao Tieying of the Yi Public House had a good reputation . He was right and unbiased, the Head Chief still had some face there as well . They could be considered to be under the Head Chief's direct command there, they naturally would not be treated unfairly .
Besides that, the Public House's treatment was levels above the Imperial Residence's .
But the Public House needed to deal with the martial arts world within its territory, so it was more dangerous . It could not compare to the peace of the Imperial Residence, and there was also the absence of the hustle and bustle of the Fairy's Capital .
They could not make a choice at that moment .
Chu Li smiled . "You can go back and consider it, there's no rush . It's not too late to make a choice after this, you can leave whenever you want . "
"Yes, thank you, Head Chief . We will think about it . " Liu Xing and the others made a closed fist salute, bidding their farewells .
Chu Li watched them as they left, his eyebrows were furrowed .
He was worried that while King An was recovering his martial arts, he was thinking of how to exact revenge and deal with him . So the moment he finished his Isolated Cultivation, he could not wait to act on it . Step after step, plots were organized and coming one after another .
Was his final goal kicking him out from the Imperial Residence?
King An hated his guts, it would not be so simple . Would he cut off his wings first, then deal with him and kill him?
But with his martial arts now, he could not deal with him . He must be looking for a top-notch master on the sly . But as of now, how many people were there in this world that could handle him? He was curious as to who King An would hire .
Right now, King An relied on Zheng Lide the most, he could get information out from him .
He did not care about what King An did, all that about taking away his position as the Head Chief, and using a honey trap . It was all a child's game . If he ever angered him again, he would just pretend to be a disciple of the Amethyst Mountain and cripple his cultivation again, forcing him to go into Isolated Cultivation .
But King An wanted to clip his wings and deal with the people around him . But he could not be treated seriously, he wanted to mess up something he was efficient in . If he used the Eclipse Purloin as well, there would be big trouble .
He decided to teach King An another lesson so that he wouldn't cross the line and grow even more overbearing .
——
The bright moon hung high in the sky, there was a gentle wind blowing .
Zheng Lide was cultivating in the courtyard, basking in the cool moonlight .

Zhu Tianhua's voice could be heard from outside . "Commander Zheng, Chief Chu is looking for you . "
"Chief Chu?" Zheng Lide was startled .
He instantly felt shivers in his heart whenever Chu Li was brought up .
As much as he pledged himself to his Royal Highness, going against Chu Li, he still had a fearful respect for Chu Li in his heart . He would try to avoid him if he could .
"It is already late at night, I am already sleeping," said Zheng Lide, "We shall talk tomorrow . "
Zhu Tianhua said in a low voice, "Chief Chu said that if you don't go, he will personally come . It would be better for you not to make him personally come to you . "
" . . . Alright then . " Zheng Lide helplessly nodded .
If Chu Li personally came, it would definitely not be good . He would surely want to deal with him . If he wanted to be tactful, he could only go now .
He pushed open the door and saw the well-built Zhu Tianhua standing outside, coldly glaring at him .
Zheng Lide said, "Let's go . "
Zhu Tianhua replied in a low voice, "Please!"
Zheng Lide walked together with him, he talked to drive off the uneasiness in his heart . "When did Protector Zhu come to the Imperial Residence?"
"Not long ago . " Zhu Tianhua was a man of few words .
He knew that Zheng Lide was loyal to his Royal Highness, which meant that he was an enemy, there was no need to be polite .
Zheng Lide saw his expression and helplessly shook his head as he sighed . There was no need to say anything more .

As they arrived at Chu Li's courtyard, Zheng Lide stood there, hesitating . His heart still felt uneasy, there was fear . He dared not enter .
Zhu Tianhua stood there, unmoving . It was as if he was taking precautions in case he wanted to run .
Zheng Lide glanced at him, and let in a huge breath . He slowly raised his hand and knocked on the door . "Du Du . " The door sounded, but it was so light that the sound was unheard . He quickly knocked again, this time harder .
"Du du . " It was loud this time, especially in the night sky .
Chu Li's bright voice could be heard from inside . "Come in . "
Zheng Lide took another deep breath, pushing the door and entering . He was upright as he entered the courtyard, he made a closed fist salute and said, "I've come to meet you, Chief!"
Chu Li was sitting beside the stone table as he drank . The white jade teacup was emanating a warm glow under the moonlight . His entire body seemed to emanate a warm glow as well .
His calmly looked at Zheng Lide . He stretched his hand as he said, "Come have a seat . "
Zheng Lide sat across him .
Chu Li smiled . "Would you like a glass?"
"Thank you, Chief, but there's no need . " Zheng Lide shook his head, solemnly looking at Chu Li .
Chu Li said in a gentle voice, "His Royal Highness was able to recover his martial arts, Commander Zheng has accomplished a great feat . It's a pity that his Royal Highness cannot be explicit, so nobody knows . "
Zheng Lide expression changed a little, he shook his head . "I don't understand what you are saying . "
Chu Li broke into a smile . "You think that you can hide it from me?"

Zheng Lide stayed silent .
He had witnessed the Head Chief's power in the Imperial Residence the most, even his Royal Highness was not as aware as he was . There was almost nobody that did not support the Head Chief, his power was truly widespread . Going against the Head Chief was only asking for trouble for yourself .
Chu Li asked, "You've been to the Green Deer Cliff?"
" . . . Yes . " Zheng Lide silently let out a breath of air . It seemed that the Head Chief really did know, he was not feigning it .
Chu Li sighed . "I didn't expect there to be such a miraculous pill at the Green Deer Cliff! . . . With whom is his Royal Highness connected with at the Green Deer Cliff?"
"His Royal Highness saved the mother of a Green Deer Cliff's disciple once . This disciple gifted his Royal Highness a Primary Heaven Pill, as thanks for his Royal Highness's favor," answered Zheng Lide .
Chu Li let out a slight smile . "Commander Zheng, you're smart . "
Zheng Lide was not stubborn, he did not persistently refrain from spilling the beans . Instead, he just truthfully spat it out, he was indeed tactful .
If he really wanted to be stubborn, Chu Li decided that he would put up a show for King An, letting him he was not the only one who could clip wings . He could do the same thing too, let's see who had the better capability!
Zheng Lide made a closed fist salute .
Chu Li asked, "After that, his Royal Highness sent you to hire martial arts masters, right?"
" . . . Yes . " Zheng Lide slowly nodded .
He felt bitter . The Head Chief was truly too smart, he was also too well informed, nothing could escape him .
"Which Martial arts master?" asked Chu Li, flatly, "I'd like to see which martial arts master can handle me . "
"That…" Zheng Lide hesitated for a moment, he helplessly said, "There is a hidden friar from the Green Hill . He seems to have boundless life vitality, his cultivation is unfathomably profound . "
