His heart instantly sank.

As expected of this b*stard Chu Li, even at this point, this man just had to come over to mock him. What a despicable fiend!

With that in mind, Lu Guangdis killing intent suddenly peaked as the urge to murder Chu Li right on the spot overwhelmed him once more. Unfortunately for him, if he could not do it when his cultivation was at his peak, there was no chance he could pull it off at his current level. It was him venting his anger.

Young Master Lu? The two elders followed his gaze and finally noticed Chu Li.

As the two recognized Chu Li, they immediately frowned, thinking that Chu Li was going overboard.

Should we avoid him? One of the elders asked in a gentle tone.

Lu Guangdi gritted his teeth before finally shaking his head. No need. Since he came over here, we might as well listen to what else he has to say!

Why bother? The other elder chimed in, Hes just trying to fan the flames, pour salt in your wounds. Why dont we just avoid him?

Wouldnt avoiding him be no different from exclaiming to the world that Im afraid of him? Lu Guangdi shook his head as he continued slowly, I want to see how low hes willing to stoop to, it can also be a motivation for my training!

He knew full well that a man with a grudge could train himself exceptionally quick.

Although one of the reasons he was able to surpass his peers was because of his natural-born talent, the more important factor was that he trained like a mad man, all to surpass the *sshole of a father he had. Lu Guangdi wanted to make his dad regret everything. That was why he trained so hard.

However, ever since he entered Fairys Capital, he seemed to have lost that crazy motivation to train that he used to have. He could no longer dig out the burning hatred he had for his father. Maybe it was because his maturity increased, he slowly understood the troubles Lu Zhengjun faced. Hence, he started to feel more empathetic towards his father. His anger slowly turned less and less extreme.

In order to get back to the level he was, he had to pull out the same type of motivation he used to have, but that was no simple task at this point in his life. This was where Chu Li came in handy, if that guy cruelly mocked him, insulted and verbally assaulted him, with his hate toward this b*stard, it would help a lot in his road to recovery.

How about this The two elders gave each other a glance as they felt that this kid was quite admirable. This Lu Guangdi was not completely useless after all. At the very least, he had a strong heart.

As the three continued riding onwards, they eventually arrived at the parting pavilion.

Chu Li was standing in the pavilion. The girl with snow-white skin and looked as cold as ice was none other than Xue Ling.

As Xue Ling saw Lu Guangdi come over, she immediately grabbed the green jade bottle to pour out two cups of alcohol.

Lu Guangdi slowly walked into the pavilion, walking up to Chu Li. He was glaring daggers at his nemesis.

Chu Li just smiled as he handed one of the white jade cups over to Lu Guangdi. Keeping the smile on his face, he said, Brother Lu, I came here exclusively to share a drink with you

Lu Guangdi ignored the cup he was offered as he continued to glare at Chu Li. The one named Chu, can you not be so fake?

Fake? Chu Li chuckled. Im just a warrior mourning for another warrior, thats all.

Hmph! Lu Guangdis facial expressions seem to have softened up.

Chu Li grabbed the white jade cup and downed the entire drink.

Instantly, Xue Ling came in with a green jade bottle, filling the white jade cup once more.

Chu Li exclaimed, If Brother Lu doesnt drink, then Ill drink all of it myself.

Lu Guangdi hmph-ed as he grabbed his white jade cup, downing the drink as well. When he was done, he flipped the cup and pursued, Okay, what else do you have to say, say it quick, Im in a rush!

Xue Ling walked up and filled the cup once more.

Chu Ling smiled. Ive always admired Brother Lus cultivation depth, I believe that it will quickly regain its former glory. Especially since you have a great father, once you get the Divine Heavenly Pill, youll definitely regain your cultivation overnight.

Hmph, so youre scared now? Lu Guangdi laughed coldly.

Chu Li shook his head. Not so much of scared, Im just a battle junkie. Unfortunately, Brother Lu cant return to Fairys Capital anymore. The fact that we cant have a rematch is such a shame!

I will challenge you again! Lu Guangdi spat.

Chu Li nodded. Thats great! My sentiments are similar! This is a gift from me, once you break this pendant, I will immediately appear!

He pulled out a white jade pendant and handed it to Lu Guangdi.

Lu Guangdi was stunned, as he mockingly laughed at Chu Li.

However, Chu Li chuckled, Brother Lu, I know you dont believe me, but whats the harm in holding onto it. Its just a mere white jade pendant, are you afraid that I can harm you in some way?

Hmph, you wouldnt dare! Lu Guangdi spat, as he immediately kept away the pendant.

Chu Li continued, If Brother Lu wishes to have a rematch with me, just break this pendant, I will immediately appear.

Alright! Lu Guangdi nodded.

Chu Li added, Perhaps when Brother Lu is in grave danger, at the gates of life-and-death, you can also break this pendant! I will definitely come and lend you a hand!

Heh, lend me a hand! Lu Guangdi laughed coldly, You just cant wait for me to die, cant you?!

He could not hold back his cold laughter anymore. He felt that Chu Li was being extremely fake. This fellow who had always wanted to kill him off, claimed to want to lend him a hand? In the world as big as this, a person who would lie as much as this was quite rare.

Chu Li shook his head. Thats where youre wrong Brother Lu. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldve already done it, why would I bother stopping at crippling your cultivation?

Hmph. Lu Guangdi frowned.

Wasnt the whole reason he didnt kill me because of His Highness the Crown Prince? Otherwise, he wouldve finished me off. He thought to himself.

Chu Li asked, If I really wanted to kill you, I wouldnt even care what His Highness the Crown Prince thinks. What can His Highness do to me anyway?

Lu Guangdi frowned as he looked straight at him.

This Chu Li really has balls of steel. To think he doesnt even put His Highness the Crown Prince in his eyes. Hes literally a mad man!

Chu Li shook his head as he continued, All in all, Brother Lus trip would not be too safe, you better be more careful. You better make it back to the Tide-listening Pavilion alive, dont get assassinated on the way there!

Stop fearmongering! Lu Guangdi chuckled as he shrugged.

Chu Li smiled as he stopped continuing further. Raising the white jade cup, he once again downed the drink in one fo. Alright, then Ill not delay your travels any further, I wish you a safe trip, Brother Lu!

He put down the white jade cup and did a fist salute.

Lu Guangdi also finished his drink, putting down his cup and leaving.

Seeing the threes silhouettes disappear into the distance, Xue Ling asked in a confused manner, Master, why do you bother being so nice to him? You showed him so much hospitality!

Chu Li smiled, In order to earn some things, youve got to give some things!

Isnt he Masters nemesis? Xue Ling questioned.

Chu Li replied, Grudges come and go, everything can be changed. Whos to say?

Xue Ling exclaimed, MASTER

Chu Li turned to her and smiled, I have a plan, theres no need to say too much right now.

Xue Ling helplessly looked at him.

Chu Li continued smiling silently as he turned around and left the pavilion.

In the evening, when Leng Jinghua returned to the Crown Princes Residences, he arrived at the backyard.

The sunset had dyed the entire backyard with its warm light. Lu Yurong was sat in one of the pavilions reading. Wearing her usual white tunic and face veil, only her beautiful large eyes could be seen.

Just a short distance away. The nine concubines were all busy with their own stuff, seemingly surrounding her in a formation, ready to move out at any moment.

As Leng Jinghua walked over to the pavilion, he sat at the opposite side of Lu Yurong.

Yurong, I heard that you moved a few more bodyguards and had them secretly follow Lu Guangdi?

Yes. Lu Yurong put down what she was reading.

Leng Jinghua asked, Why do you still care so much about Lu Guangdi now that hes crippled?

Uncle-in-law, arent you afraid that hell be assassinated? Lu Yurong questioned.

Leng Jinghua frowned, Now, hes just a cripple through and through. Hes of no threat to anyone. Furthermore, his father is Lu Zhengjun, who dares to incur the wrath of that man by killing his son?

Not everyone fears Lu Zhengjun. Lu Yurong stated, If he gets killed, what would Lu Zhengjun do?

Of course he would seek revenge. Leng Jinghua answered.

What if he cant find who to exact revenge on?

That really cant be avoided. Leng Jinghua calmed down. Realizing that his thought process was flawed, his face sank. After being silent for some time, he slowly said, If he cant find the aggressor, he would finish off Chu Li, then direct his anger at us?

There are enough people who want us dead, isnt using Lu Zhengjun to do so a lot easier for them? Lu Yurong said.
