He showed up at the I

Leng Shoushan ca him into his own courtyard

The I and Prince Bao both took up roughly the same amount of space Nonetheless, their respective layouts were entirely different

There was a garden in all of their courtyards, yet this place was far fronificent atinal and ingenious ance

Leng Shoushan's courtyard also contained a garden and they were both sitting in a gazebo on a lake There was a faint, delicate fragrance lingering in the gazebo

Chu Li exarance caazebo, which was an exotic type of sandalwood The fragrance it gave off could not only refresh and clear the mind but could also repel mosquitoes and other insects Thus, it was the most expensive type of wood

For most people, however, the dark purplish wooden pillars of the gazebo ht seem rather unimpressive and not very luxurious at all

Meanwhile, the lake water was so clear that they could see the mouth of a fountain at the botto as if it was about to spray up from the surface of the lake

The round wooden table inside the gazebo was also a dark shade of purple, creating a sense of grandeur and uncertainty

“Brother Chu, we've been placed in a difficult situation this ti Shoushan took the jade pot and filled his silver cup for hihed “It's very likely that the order for my assassination came from Gu Qi”

Given that Chu Li had been personally giving hihly he valued affection and loyalty, Leng Shoushan deemed it most appropriate to call him a brother

Chu Li replied, “Fortunately, Your Royal Highness came out unscathed”

“Thankfully,his four Protectors with me If not, it's hard to say for sure ould've happened!” Leng Shoushan see fears from the incident

Chu Li said, “This tiate my lord's assassination case I'll try my best to track down the assassins”

“Brother Chu, you're going to investigate this case ofShoushan quickly asked

Chu Li nodded

Leng Shoushan slammed a palm on the table “Good!”

He had been very iation and believed that with Chu Li joining in on the investigation, the assassins would never be able to escape

“Even in your own residence, you must also be wary of further assassination attempts”Chu Li reminded

Leng Shoushan frowned and slowly nodded

Chu Li went on “Think about the assassination in King An's Iard for their own lives at all, so what could stand in their way?”

“Yes, I'll be sure to be wary!” Leng Shoushan continued to nod in agreement

The people at King An's Imperial Residence were uncommonly capable as well and they even had awatch over the place Nonetheless, the place had been repeatedly encountering assassinations from other masters of the martial arts world Evidently, the common people did not fear the Imperial Residences at all!

“My Lord, how's the condition of your injured Protectors?” Chu Li asked

Leng Shoushan shook his head “Their injuries are rather hard to diagnose and treat None of them has fully recovered yet”

“I'd like to meet them” Chu Li requested

Leng Shoushan raised his voice to call an elder over and passed on an instruction

Soon after, four azebo They alking as slow as an oldone appeared to be turning purple and had difficulty breathing

Leng Shoushan introduced Chu Li to them, and the four of them sized Chu Li up curiously

Chu Li was a legendary figure of the Fairy's Capital whose famous name they had also heard of, and while they had now found out that Chu Li was younger than they had expected, they did not look down on hie, possessing a naturally powerful presence

Chu Li examined the condition of their injuries one by one and took the opportunity to help them expel the inner forces within their bodies

The reason for their lack of recovery was exactly because of the inner forces re in their bodies that had yet been driven out In fact, although they had been consu the Imperial Residence's Spirit Medicine, not only would their condition not improve, their injuries would actually worsen If this situation were to persist, they would only meet their end sooner

“Will you be able to find the assailants?” Leng Shoushan asked

Chu Li frowned in silence

“Can they leave then?” Leng Shoushan spoke again

Chu Li nodded

The four of theave Chu Li a fist salute and thanked him for his help

After Chu Li watched the Shoushan

Leng Shoushan quickly questioned, “What's wrong, Brother Chu?”

“The second person to whoave my assistance earlier is the informant,” Chu Li stated

Leng Shoushan's expression grew dark “That's Elder Xu He's already a senior in the residence!”
