Chapter 1148: Astounded


Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


“My wife, you’re always worried.” Sun Yucheng smiled. “What danger can I be in!”


“Zheng Dynasty isn’t Li Dynasty, your identity as a prince might not be useful.” The beautiful lady shook her head lightly. “In case someone tries to harm you, you can only rely on yourself and your protectors, I’m just…”


She shook her head again and frowned, expressing her concern.


“Don’t worry, I have a tough life, nobody can do anything to me.” Sun Yucheng smiled with squinted eyes.


“Now that there’s a master from the Holy Church of Light, I’m not as worried.” The beautiful lady sighed.


“Mm, yes, yes.” In fact, Sun Yucheng was unbothered, but he did not say anything else.


‘Masters from the Holy Church of Light can be found in every corner in Li Dynasty and they can be summoned anytime. But I’m going to Zheng Dynasty now, which is beyond the reach of the Holy Church of Light. Should anything happen, I’ll have to rely on myself, on Elder Su and Elder Ren, or even Zhao Dahe.


‘Even though Ninth Elder Sister praised Zhao Dahe greatly in her letter, he looks young to me and he doesn’t seem very reliable. He may have remarkable martial arts and is a genius as mentioned by Ninth Elder Sister whereby he’s able to fight ten people on his own, but he might not be useful in Zheng Dynasty.


‘But since Ninth Elder Sister has sent him over, I can’t just leave Zhao Dahe in the residence, I’ll have to bring him along.’


“Husband, how many protectors are you going to bring along this time?” The beautiful lady furrowed her brows. “Bring all we have in the residence.”


“I’m going there to travel.” Sun Yucheng chuckled. “How am I going to travel if I bring so many people?”


“Uh…” The graceful lady sighed.


Sun Yucheng comforted her, “Don’t worry, I’m tough, I’m going to be the king in the future!”


“Husband, be careful of what you say!” The beautiful lady quickly covered his mouth.


Sun Yucheng kissed her palm.


The beautiful lady quickly withdrew her hand, then stared at him with a reddened face.


Chu Li shook his head as he giggled. ‘Looks like I’ve been underestimated. But that’s alright, the able ones should do more work. I’m only here to complete my task, not to build a good relationship with him. As long as I return safely, I can return to Gale City.’



In the evening the next day, once Chu Li was done with dinner, Head Chief Wei was there to get him.


Chu Li arrived at Su Yucheng’s courtyard. There he saw the beautiful Madan Sun, as well as two thin elders.


Chu Li greeted them with a fist salute.


The elegant lady bowed at Chu Li. “Protector Zhao.”


Chu Li quickly mentioned, “Madan, you don’t have to do this. I dare not accept the honor.”


The beautiful lady had a sweet voice and a pair of clear eyes. She glanced at the three of them before she said, “Protector Zhao, Elder Su, Elder Ren, thank you in advance for taking care of my husband.”


“Madam, just be rest assured.” The tall and thin elder forced a smile. “We’ll do our best.”


The short and thin elder nodded.


Chu Li smiled.


‘This beautiful lady is quite something. Her expression remains the same even though I’m so ugly.’


Chu Li had made a slight adjustment to his appearance. While there was no change to his features, he was no longer so much of an eyesore to the others and he had a unique charm instead if looked closely.


“My wife, I’ll send you a letter from time to time.” Sun Yucheng assured, “I’ll write you a letter every three days.”


“Mm.” Madam Sun was happy with the idea. “Be careful whenever you go out. Especially since Zheng Dynasty’s culture is different from ours, you must follow the local custom, and don’t stand out.”


“I understand, I understand.” Sun Yucheng immediately cut her off. “We’ll be on our way then!”


He immediately walked out after that.


Madam Sun followed closely behind him until they arrived at the main entrance.


With four horses were already prepared, Sun Yucheng hopped onto his horse quickly. Then, he waved his hand and left.


The gallops of the four horses broke the silence of the peaceful area. Before long, they went on the streets and arrived at the main street that was buzzing with noise.


Sun Yucheng turned around to take a look before he sighed a long breath of relief. “Women!”


The tall and thin Elder Su smiled. “Madam loves you very deeply, Young Master.”


“It can’t be helped, all women like to nag.” Sun Yucheng shook his head. “Mother’s like that, Madam’s like that, they’re not like Ninth Elder Sister…”


He suddenly stopped. Then, he just shook his head.


The two elders escorted him on both sides as they traveled slowly among the crowd.


On the other hand, Chu Li followed them quietly.


It took them half an hour to get off the main street as the street was too long, and it was filled with people. At times, they were forced to be in a standstill. Chu Li was secretly speechless about the hustle and bustle in the capital.


Sun Yucheng rode his horse calmly like any other man. He did not use his power to shoo the people away which surprised Chu Li.


Once they were out of the eastern gate, they sped up. Since the sky had turned dark, the lanterns were lit, and the main roads were packed with cars and people that wanted to return to the city before it was night time.


Elder Ren turned to look at Chu Li. “Young Zhao, we’re staying in the wilderness for a night.”


Chu Li nodded.


Elder Su asked, “Young Zhao, what’s your post in the Holy Church of Light?”


Chu Li answered, “It’s a shame. I’ve just been relieved of my post as the Branch Leader, so I don’t have a post now.”


He did not like the idea of being humiliated but was not going to play dumb. As such, Chu Li put on an air of arrogance whenever appropriate, lest people look down on him, they would be shocked.


“Oh, a Branch Leader?” All of them were stunned.


Sun Yucheng asked, “Did you used to be a Branch Leader?”


Chu Li nodded. “For Gale Branch in Gale City, but because I went in Isolated Cultivation for too long and neglected my duties, I was dismissed by the Saint. Now, I’m redeeming myself by rendering good serve.”


Elder Su and Elder Ren were clearly surprised.


In the Holy Church of Light, ordinary disciples were the most abundant. While a Branch Leader was not the highest post, one had to be of a certain age. According to Chu Li’s age, he should be at the lowest rank among the disciples of the Holy Church of Light, yet he had managed to be a Branch Leader, which was truly remarkable.


Sun Yucheng mentioned, “Ninth Elder Sister didn’t mention this in her letter.”


Chu Li responded, “Perhaps the Saint was trying to preserve my image, so she didn’t reveal my inadequacy.”


“Haha, being a Branch Leader is not an inadequacy.” Elder Su chuckled. “Young Zhao, how did you become a Branch Leader?”


“It was nothing.” Chu Li explained, “I had previously killed an Altar Leader, so my martial art was negated. After being punished heavily, I was sent to Soaring Eagle Cavalry’s Sharp Vigor Battalion where I led the battalion to kill a general from Qiu Dynasty. As a result, I was able to leave Soaring Eagle Cavalry to be a Branch Leader.”


Elder Su and Elder Ren exclaimed.


Everything that Zhao Dahe had mentioned astounded them. He had killed an Altar Leader and a general, which truly made him a powerful figure. It was no wonder that the Saint sent him over.


Sun Yucheng looked at him dubiously.


He knew that Ninth Elder Sister would not just send him an ordinary master from the Holy Church of Light, but he did not expect Zhao Dahe to be so experienced.


Chu Li smiled. “It’s a pity that I’m not fit as a Branch Leader. I don’t really want to handle worldly matters as I only want to cultivate, which is why I ended up like this.”


“Profound martial art skills builds a person’s foundation,” Elder Ren expressed.


Elder Su commented, “No wonder you’re so powerful even though you’re so young, Young Zhao. Only those who are obsessed with martial arts can be like this.”
