Lu Yurong pursed her lips and nodded with a smile, her smile as bright as a flower: "This time, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
"It may not work if he really becomes a disciple of Yinxian Mountain." Lu Yulou was not that optimistic. He shook his head and said: "After all, how can he resist the imperial family of Dafu alone?"
Lu Yurong said: "Just give the emperor some confidence."
There is a huge gap in national power between Dafu and Daji. Even if the emperor is a god, he will inevitably lack confidence when facing Dafu. Daji as a whole is his lifeblood, and he will easily succumb.
Chu Li became a disciple of Yinxian Mountain, and the emperor had more confidence to face the intimidation of the master.
She knew that Xu Shixing and the others went to the divine capital to directly propose marriage to the emperor and use their national power to directly threaten them. She could not tell whether the emperor would give in and sacrifice himself.
"This matter is difficult." Lu Yulou shook his head.
He knew very well that facing the master, even if the younger sister was extremely intelligent, the right-hand man of His Highness the Crown Prince, or the leader of the Secret Guard Mansion, she was still expendable in the eyes of the emperor, and the emperor would abandon her without hesitation.
The status of the Duke's Palace is very important, but when the great master exerts strong enough power, the emperor cannot bear it.
Lu Yurong frowned: "I want to go back to the Capital of Gods."
"Don't mess around." Lu Yulou was worried that she would take risks and assassinate Dafu's officials.
There are always Dafu officials in the capital of God, serving as envoys between the two countries to exchange news and avoid any misunderstandings.
If the younger sister kills these officials, Daji and the master will be at odds with each other, let alone get married.
"I will be careful." Lu Yurong nodded.
"Alas..., it's brother's fault. Brother is incompetent and can't protect you." Lu Yulou sighed.
Lu Yurong smiled and said: "Brother, what you said is wrong. If there are a few people who can stop me from facing the master, I will leave immediately."
"Okay." Lu Yulou nodded lightly.
In the evening, the setting sun dyes Xueyue Lake into a piece of Jinxia, which is beautiful and moving.
Chu Li suddenly appeared in a waterside pavilion, which was Xiao Qi's waterside pavilion. Then he pushed the door open and went out, sitting across from Chenying Lake: "Auntie."
Shen Yinghu is Xiao Qi's aunt. As Xiao Qi's husband, he naturally calls her aunt.
Shen Yinghu, dressed in a lake green robe, glanced at him lazily: "You're finally here."
Chu Li smiled: "Is Xiaoqi here?"
"She's not here." Shen Yinghu shook his head.
Chu Li frowned.
Shen Yinghu said: "She wanted to go out to experience the worldly mind, so she left by herself."
"Where to go?" Chu Li frowned.
He couldn't sense the presence of Xiao Qi. It was obviously because she did this on purpose. She took off the jade talisman and other things on her body so as not to leave any clues to Chu Li. However, he has the power to reach heaven and earth, so that's not a big deal.
Worried about not being able to find it.
What he was worried about was that Xiao Qi might be really angry when he acted like this.
Shen Yinghu shook his head and said: "She left as she pleased. No one knows where she went, not even you, the husband, know?"
Chu Li shook his head.
Shen Yinghu frowned and looked at him: "Are you two at odds?"
Chu Li shook his head.
Shen Yinghu hummed: "The girl from Duke Lu's family came over a while ago and said something to Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi actually agreed to be your shield for that girl Lu. It's really ridiculous!"
Chu Li looked embarrassed.
Shen Yinghu said: "Do you have other thoughts? Men are not good at all!"
"Did Xiaoqi get angry and leave because of this?" Chu Li sighed.
Shen Yinghu hummed: "No matter how open-minded Xiaoqi is, she is still a woman, how can she not be angry!"
Chu Li nodded and said, "Then I'll go find her."
"Forget it, she won't let you go." Shen Yinghu waved his jade hands and said, "She needs to focus on her cultivation. If you go, she will be beaten."
Chu Li said: "It's not suitable to continue practicing her skills."
"The Taishang Sword Sutra was obtained by the eldest sister." Shen Yinghu shook his head: "Xiao Qi must practice it, you can't persuade her, and besides, the Taishang Sword Sutra is indeed mysterious, it is a miraculous science from the heavens. If you can really practice it, you may not be able to become a god."
Chu Li frowned and said nothing.
As his cultivation progressed, his realm became deeper and deeper, and he felt more and more that the mystery of the Taishang Sword Sutra was far more profound and unpredictable than he imagined. However, it was too difficult to practice, and Xiao Qi could only scratch the surface.
"Just follow her." Shen Yinghu said, "But let me remind you, don't make the fake show come true."
"Yes." Chu Li nodded.
Shen Yinghu glanced at him sideways and said, "Girl Lu is also a great beauty. As a man, it is understandable that you are tempted, but if you really feel sorry for Xiao Qi, humph, then don't blame me for being rude!"
Her bright eyes flashed, her lazy aura subsided, and suddenly she became a little sharper.
Chu Li clasped his fists: "Don't worry, aunt."
Shen Yinghu rolled his eyes at him: "Go back."
Chu Li could only clasp his fists and leave, returning to Prince An's Mansion.
Arriving at the back garden of the palace, twilight has already begun, the lanterns have begun to turn on, and the back garden is brightly lit.
Xiao Shi was watering the flowers, weeding several flowers herself, and was very busy. The maids stayed aside holding towels and tea cups, handing them to her from time to time. She took a sip of tea and then lowered her head to do her work.
After Chu Li appeared, she seemed not to notice him and was still busy with her own business.
Chu Li coughed lightly.
Xiao Shi was dressed in a white outfit, which made her look more heroic and less delicate.
She continued hoeing as if she didn't hear the cough.
Chu Li coughed twice more.
Xiao Shi glanced at him sideways and hummed: "Are you injured?"
Chu Li shook his head.
Xiao Shi hummed: "You are married to a younger sister, and you are going to marry Lu Yurong. You are marrying two young ladies from the Duke's palace at once. Are you very proud?"
When Chu Li heard this, he knew she was angry and shook his head helplessly.
Xiao Shi glanced at him sideways: "Tell me, why don't you defend yourself?"
"I have nothing to say." Chu Li sighed.
He knew that the more he argued, the angrier she would become, so he originally came to Xiao Qi to help her calm down.
No matter how angry Xiao Qi was, as long as he held her in his arms and said a few soft words, the matter would be over. Xiao Qi was cold and indifferent, and would not show tenderness and affection at ordinary times. She was extremely restrained, but was affectionate, which was difficult. Really angry with him.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi actually avoided it and could only come to Xiao Shi's side to have a look. Xiao Shi was not as easy to fool as Xiao Qi.
Xiao Shi hummed: "Congratulations, you are going to be cuckolded. The emperor agreed to the marriage proposal of the third prince, the great master."
"What?" Chu Li was startled and looked at her suspiciously: "No way?"
Xiao Shi's face as beautiful as white jade smiled softly: "Why not?"
Chu Li frowned.
He originally felt that once he became a disciple of Yinxian Mountain, his status would be different. Even if Da Ji did not dare to offend the master, they would not dare to do anything to him.
Xiao Shi curled her red lips and hummed: "Do you think your status is really that high in the eyes of the emperor?"
Chu Li's face darkened.
Xiao Shi hummed: "Our emperor is cold-blooded and ruthless. He can sacrifice anyone, let alone Lu Yurong. She is his own daughter. She deserves to be married to the master like a master!"
Chu Li said in a deep voice: "Don't he know how taboo this is?"
"Can he not know?" Xiao Shi hummed, "But he doesn't care. As long as the master is satisfied, he can agree."
Chu Li looked at her puzzled.
Xiao Shi said: "No matter how powerful you are, you are only a master from the outer world. You are not worth mentioning to a master from the gods, even if you can block a few of his moves!".
