”The nine of the you want to say can't be said in front of the to speak or not?”
Chu Li shook his head and sighed
In a flash, he appeared in the pavilion and sat down slowly next to the stone table

They unsheathed their swords and charged toward the pavilion
”Let it be, let it be,” Lu Yurong waved her ar lady?” Maid Xiao Xing took one worried glance at Chu Li

Chu Li responded, ”I had toKing An has yet to heal frohly skilled heart techniqueMiss Lu is an unknown master and has hidden herself froiving”
Lu Yurong replied, ”I aesting we tea An has been unhappy with all the High Duke's Public Houses for a long tio after the High Duke's Public Houses, thus eli all of theet your sources frohtest when she heard this
Chu Li replied, ”Let's not talk about whetherover the throneHe will beco snickered”Hi over the throne? Dream on!”

She had been startled by Chu Li's state to stand on the sidelines and watch the An would never succeed the throneThus, no matter much he tried or how much blood was shed, it would all be in vain
