Chapter 990: 990

With the surrounding assassins wiped out, the trio had to switch to another place to turn in for the night .

They lit another bonfire at another end of the forest . The trio sat by the bonfire .

Lu Yurong and Xiao Qi took off their white veils, one revealing a porcelain charming face while the other, an innocent yet delightful face . Both ladies had their own charms and were equally matched . The air felt fresher .

“I heard you played a part in King Ping stripping himself of his military authority . ” Lu Yurong hurled some firewood in . She clapped her hands and stared at Chu Li .

Chu Li sat opposite her . “Who did you hear it from?”

“What do you think!”

Chu Li pondered deeply before shaking his head . “It’s not my doing . King Ping spirit was down he and no longer wished to fight at the border . He’s sick and tired of it… Killing that many cavaliers of the Li Dynasty to protect the Ji Dynasty yet he wasn’t able to protect his own wife . He’s disheartened . ”

“Isn’t it because he resents the Emperor?” Lu Yurong put on a fake smile .

“Partly, I guess,” Chu Li answered .

The Emperor could provide protection to all the princes but did not care about the consorts . His wife required protection while he guarded the frontier but the Emperor failed to provide assistance .

Of course King Ping would have resentment! If he did not show it, it meant the hatred was buried within and this deep sentiment would eventually lead to trouble . The Emperor felt more at ease with King Ping displaying his feelings in the open .

Lu Yurong added, “So the Emperor ditched the Secret Guardians Hall’s Deputy Commander to the Imperial Mausoleum and you, the centurion as well?”

Chu Li glanced at her without saying a word .

Lu Yurong laughed . “Or should I say, your blind meddling and conscience left you in this state?”

“Why ask when you already know!” Chu Li snorted .

“I wanted to see if you’re going to lie!” Lu Yurong smiled . “At least you didn’t try to deceive me but look at you down in the dumps . Your martial arts’ crippled and sent to the Imperial Mausoleum . You no longer have hope to return to the Fairy’s Capital . It’s over for you!”

Chu Li nodded . “Yes, it’s over for me . ”

“However, I see you’re able to keep it all together . ” Lu Yurong sized him up .

She thought Chu Li would be at a loss . Confidence did not come out of nowhere, it was from becoming strong . Chu Li was in high spirits because of his martial arts . With his martial arts gone, surely so was his confidence .

She did not think Chu Li would still be in high spirits, showing no signs of dejection .

She was impressed that the man was able to keep his cool and remain unshaken in the face of turmoil . This was true strength . She had always had great respect for Chu Li’s bold vision It was something she could not compete with .

Chu Li said, “I’m without martial arts but I can live an easy life with my wits . ”

“Hehehe!” Lu Yurong chuckled . “Easy life? You wish!”

Chu Li shook his head without adding .

Xiao Qi responded dully, “Lu Yurong, do you know something we don’t?”

“Oh, Third Lady Xiao’s worried now?” Lu Yurong smiled at her . “I’m not going to say!”

Xiao Qi frowned . “There’s trouble in the Imperial Mausoleum?”

Lu Yurong flashed a fake smile . Visit on our vipnovel . com

Chu Li answered, “King Jing should feel at ease now, right?”

Lu Yurong pursed her lips into a smile . “King Ping is making concessions to gain advantage . ”

Chu Li gasped within at her display of extreme intelligence . He replied, “Anyhow, he’s taking a step back . King Jing can take this chance to infiltrate the military . Miss Lu, you should be busy . Why do you have the time to watch me make a fool of myself?”

“There’s no rush . ” Lu Yurong curled her supple lips .

She was ecstatic over King Jing’s hopes of ascension and with her biggest opponent struck with adversity, she could not resist coming over to show off .

Xiao Qi said, “There’s still another ten years . Ten years may flash by or move slowly, no one knows what’s bound to happen!”

She dully added, “Chu Li cultivated martial arts in less than two years . It’ll be faster for him to regain his martial arts . Moreover, getting to Green Deer Cliff to ask for a Life Returning Pill isn’t hard . ”

She may be indifferent and uncompetitive but she could not take Lu Yurong being smug, especially when Chu Li was in the pits . It was adding salt to injury . Chu Li may be dejected .

Lu Yurong scowled and snorted at the thought of Xiao Yueling . “So crippling your martial arts was an act for the Emperor? Regaining your martial arts thereafter, what do you take the Emperor for?”

Chu Li smiled . “Miss Lu, although I can’t aid King Jing in his quest, it’s easy for me to ruin it for him . ”

Lu Yurong narrowed her sharp eyes .

At the exchange of glances, sparks were flying in both their eyes .

Suddenly, Chu Li looked to his left-hand side and shouted, “Fa Yuan, since you’re here, why don’t you join us?”

“Amitabha…” A soothing calm chant was heard by the trio .

Fa Yuan, dressed in gray cowl came close to the bonfire and pressed his palms together in greeting . “Brother Chu, and both female almsgivers . ”

Chu Li smiled . “Fa Yuan, are you here to make fun of me?”

Fa Yuan smiled . “The world’s unpredictable . I didn’t think Brother Chu would end up like this . ”

“No one can predict the future . I didn’t think I’d meet you, Fa Yuan, in such circumstances . ” Chu Li smiled .

Lu Yurong snorted . “Monk, what are you here for?”

Fa Yuan smiled . “Why can’t I be here, if Almsgiver Lu can?”

“It’s just petty evildoers . They won’t be able to withstand a single blow . ” Chu Li smiled . “There’s no need for you to be here . ”

“It’ll be a huge disgrace if Brother Chu was harmed by petty evildoers . ” Fa Yuan shook his head .

Lu Yurong snorted . “Monk, you and Chu Li were both coined the double pride . You must be afraid he’s bringing you down . ”

Fa Yuan smiled without saying a word .

Xiao Qi said, “Master Fa Yuan, do you know the actual situation in the Imperial Mausoleum?”

“The mausoleum’s interior, exterior, and adjacent town . ” Fa Yuan nodded . “With Brother Chu crippled of his martial arts, he will be running errands in one of the towns by the Imperial Mausoleum . ”

Lu Yurong snorted . “I will be informing the town’s guards under King Jing’s instructions to offer extra attention to Chu Li . You’ll be given easy tasks . Are you happy now?”

“Then, give my thanks to King Jing . ” Chu Li motioned a fist salute .

Lu Yurong rolled her eyes at him .

Fa Yuan answered, “Those running errands in the town are people sent to guard the Imperial Mausoleum . The residents there are from outside the mausoleum and some families of those inside the mausoleum . The town is pretty safe so there’s no call for concern . ”

Xiao Qi secretly let out a sigh of relief .

Chu Li added, “We better make haste on our journey tomorrow and arrive at the enclosing town as soon as possible . ”

He exchanged small talk with Fa Yuan, asking about Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture and if there was a way to restrain it .

Fa Yuan shook his head . The teachings of Reincarnation Temple, Titanium Temple, and Tempest Temple were different . However, Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture were shrouded in mystery . He did not know of a way to restrain it .

In the next two days, the journey was quiet . It was as though the assassins dared not come forth and had left after seeing how the group had grown in number .

On the afternoon of the third day, they arrived at a small town . It was around the size of Qing Yun Town, bustling with incoming and outgoing people .

The four went to the Town Defense Prefecture .

The Town Defense Prefecture was situated in the center of town . The place looked rather shabby, worn out and nowhere close to luxurious . Security was lax with only two Protectors watching the door . There were no other Protectors in the residence .

Chang Gui was short and stout . He sat on an armchair in the hall of the Town Defense Prefecture . He was a jolly man without the commanding stature that naturally came from a person defending a town . In fact, despite being a breath of fresh air, he was a Grandmaster with high cultivation level .

Chang Gui measured Chu Li from head to toe . “Chu Li, Head Chief Chu, I have heard of your name from here . ”

Chu Li gestured a fist salute .

“Why don’t we do this? You’re no use without martial arts . You’ll be responsible for cleaning the streets . ” Chang Gui smiled .
