Chapter 1204: Revenge

Chu Li gave the emperor a fist salute “I'll bid my farewell then”

He turned to leave

“Chu Li, you killed Gu Yu, didn't you?” Leng Wufeng asked abruptly

He paused instantly, then turned to look at Leng Wufeng

“It was you, wasn't it?” Leng Wufeng said, “I won't look into it anymore Gu Yu was reckless, foolish, and incompetent He disappointed me”

Chu Li felt a chill He sighed then denied “Your Majesty, you're overthinking There's no grudge between Co Besides, I wouldn't have killed him if I was really er, he couldn't do anything to me anyway”

“I heard that he had proof that you're colluding with the Holy Church of Light,” Leng Wufeng mentioned

Chu Li was stunned He did not think that Gu Yu actually told the emperor about this

He laughed “It'swith other forces, it's absurd if he said that it's the Holy Church of Light I'ht and I are like fire and water, they won't agree even if I want to collude with them They'll kill me!”

“Gu Yu won't lie toshook his head “I believe he really found proof Chu Li, are you sure that you're not colluding with the Holy Church of Light?”

Chu Li put his fingers up and swore

Due to the presence of the Outland, whenever one swore, it could be verified as it corresponded with Heaven and Earth

That being said, Chu Li was not afraid of swearing at all because he did not actually conspire with the Holy Church of Light He only sneaked into the Holy Church of Light with the intention of eli them in the end, which was entirely different from a conspiracy

Leng Wufeng nodded satisfyingly and sainst the Holy Church of Light?”

Chu Li replied, “Emperor, hoould I know if you don't have an idea too?”

“Alright, youwaved his hand

All of a sudden, hurried footsteps were heard as Leng Jinghua arrived in a cheerful mood

“Yurong, congratulations!” He entered the gazebo with a big smile on his face

The graceful young lady stopped playing the zither at once and left

Leng Jinghua sat opposite Lu Yurong, then said, “It's done Yurong, you'll be Secret Guardians Hall's commander soon!”

“So soon?” Lu Yurong was shocked

Lu Yurong initially thought that the e to observe the courtier's reaction, as well as Chu Li's reaction for some time She was very surprised that the emperor made his decision so quickly

Leng Jinghua was elated “You must thank Chu Li this time He entered the palace earlier, rejected Father's offer, and recommended you instead”

Lu Yurong scoffed

'Even if Chu Li didn't reject the emperor's offer, he wouldn't beco the opportunity to recos many dreams'

Leng Jinghua sighed “That fella's quite unpredictable Why did he reco?”

“He probably has ill intentions” Lu Yurong scorned “He must think that the emperor won't approve his recommendation since the emperor despises him, but the emperor somehow approved!”

“Hhua slapped his hands and laughed “Chu Li shot himself in the foot, haha!”

Leng Jinghua dissolved in waves of laughter

Leng Jinghua had always resented Chu Li but never hua was extre a setback
