Lu Yurong's plan was obviously to have Chu Li start a conflict with the Secret Guardians Hall, battling each other to the death. Then, she could take the opportunity to weaken Gu Yu's current position, forcing him out of that spot.

However, this would cause also harm to Chu Li in the process. With that in mind, she was prepared to mock him for it.

Initially, Chu Li did not want to be the first to make a move, he wanted to be the one who tramples on Gu Yu's pride. Gu Yu was getting more and more extreme. After the last time, he became even worse and crazy.

Now that the situation had changed, he had better things to do. Hence, he changed his mind and took the opportunity to leave King An's Imperial Palace, making it look like he was surrendering to the Secret Guardian Hall.

Both he and Lu Yurong were people who kept their promises. Lu Yurong would never go back on her own words, she would no doubt overthrow Gu Yu. However, without Chu Li's presence battling with Gu Yu, Lu Yurong's job just got a ton harder. As an added bonus, he could watch everything from the sidelines.

The two kept scheming against each other, secretly fighting in the background.

Xiao Qi suddenly asked, "Why do you actually care so much for this Lu Guangdi?"

"Take a guess." Chu Li hugged her tightly on her well-toned waist.

"It probably isn't because you care about that Lu Zhengjun." Xiao Qi furrowed her brow, before muttering softly, "Other people may fear him, but you don't… Then that must mean it's something else, but what can you even get from Lu Guangdi? ...It's Lu Zhengjun?"

She raised her head and looked over at Chu Li.

The two were extremely close to each other, practically breathing down each other's necks. They could feel their warmth slowly radiating towards each other.

Chu Li smiled. "Wifey knows best."

"You better think carefully about it.: Xiao Qi frowned, "The Green Deer Cliff is no ordinary sect. If you get on their bad side, it'd only mean trouble."

"Of course, it's one of the four great sects after all." Chu Li nodded with a smile.

Xiao Qi stared at Chu Li with a worried look.

Every time he made that facial expression, that meant that he was about to do something completely out of the ordinary. She could never guess what he was up to.

Chu Li laughed. "Don't worry."

Xiao Qi lightly shook her head, it was not like she could do anything to stop him anyway.

Chu Li continued, "Does the wife want to go to Spirit Cranes Peak or back to the Public House?"

"Let's head back." Xiao Qi said, "I heard that big brother and big sister-in-law are fighting again. Big sister-in-law ran back to her hometown once more."

Chu Li laughed. "These two…"

Xiao Tieying's personality is usually calm and collected. He was a cheerful guy and would usually treat others with tact, rarely picking a fight with anyone. The wife was also quite prim and proper, a gentle housewife-type figure. However, when the two were together, they always fought. One small argument every few days and one huge fight every couple of weeks.

After fighting, the sister-in-law would go back to her hometown. Then, Xiao Tieying would swiftly head over to bring her back. Within barely even a year of marriage, this routine had already happened more than ten times.

When this first happened, everyone was quite concerned over it, but as time passed, it became second nature to them. If they like to fight, then let them fight, they were going to get back together at the end of the day anyway.

Xiao Qi said, "Apparently the fight this time was quite big, Big Brother was so angry that he didn't want to go bring her back."

"The big man is just stubborn, that's all. Just see how long he can last." Chu Li shook his head and laughed. "I'm gonna say that by the time you reach home, the big man would have already made a move."

Xiao Qi frowned at him.

Chu Li replied with a grin, "Then, let's head back and see."

"Let's go." Xiao Qi agreed.

The two figures disappeared in a flash and they suddenly appeared over at the Yi Public House. They had instantly arrived at Iron Eagle Island.

In the end, they did not even get to see Xiao Tieying. After asking a passerby, they found out that he had already made a move.

Xiao Qi frowned and shook her head, taking a deep breath. "Big brother changed."

Chu Li chuckled. "The Big Man is deeply intertwined in his own web of love, it'll be fine after a while."

"Sigh…" Xiao Qi said, "What nonsense."

"Some nonsense every now and then is also quite fun for some people." Chu Li laughed. "Big brother needs to do this to relax a bit. Back then he was too tense. Now, the two are enjoying quite an interesting life, don't you think?"

"That's true." Xiao Qi nodded.

Chu Li asked, "Dear wife, are you really going to stay here?"

"Yeah, the house shouldn't be empty anyway." Xiao Qi raised her head and said, "If anything actually happens, I'll be here to do something about it."

As Chu Li left the Public House, he returned to monitor Lu Guangdi once again.

He stood ten miles away from them, no one could even notice his existence. As Lu Guangdi continued to move with his now-eight escorts, the rest of their trip went without a hitch. They swiftly returned to the Tide-listening Pavilion.

Finally, Chu Li found out where the Tide-listening Pavilion was.

It turned out that it was located on a peninsula near the sea where a huge palace stood.

This palace was called the Dragon King's Palace, a group of basilicas made for fishermen to pray to the Dragon King. There were more than ten of these basilicas, forming a cluster of buildings that lined nearly five miles of the seaside.

After the two elders and the six escorts left, Chu Li rented a villa just a short distance away from the Tide-listening Pavilion. He meditated and channeled his energy there every single day.

Using the Omniscient Mirror to observe Lu Guangdi, he monitored his every move and thought. From all the various techniques he was practicing like the Raging Billow Technique to the innermost thoughts in his heart, from his movement to his speech, Chu Li etched all of it into his memory. 

The Tide-listening Pavilion disciples were actually the servants of the Dragon King Palace. Normally, they trained in secret, keeping it hidden from the public eye.

There was a total of one dozen basilicas there, four of them open to the public to burn incense and pray. The remaining eight that was not open to the public was where the Tide-listening Pavilion was located.

They trained their cultivation, read books, and wrote texts right in that basilica. They lived a calm and peaceful life, having no qualms against the world.

As evening crept in, the sunset dyed the basilicas red. The lighting within the basilicas was quite bad, so everyone went outside to continue their training. 

One man in a green tunic slowly walked into one of the basilicas. After speaking with a white-bearded elder, the elder personally brought this man into the third floor of the basilica.

This was a book storage pavilion. There was a total of three floors, it was the highest building in this cluster of basilicas that people called the Dragon King's Palace.

As they reached a quiet room on the third floor, the elder knocked on the door. 

"Guangdi."

Lu Guangdi stood up from his wooden bed and walked over to open the door. When he saw the elder, he revealed a smile. "Master."

However, as his gaze shifted over to the man in the green tunic, his smile on his face stiffened and his face started to darken. He turned around and walked back into the room sitting on his bed and shut his eyes. 

"Guangdi, you guys talk it out, there are no grudges that can break a father and a son's bonds." The white-bearded elder sighed out loud and gently said, "If there are any conflicts between the two of you, just talk it out. You guys are father and son after all, don't be so rude."

"Master!" Lu Guangdi opened his eyes wide and yelled.

The white-bearded elder just waved his hand and smiled at the man before walking off.

Lu Guangdi once again shut his eyes, not making any moves.

Lu Zhengjun pulled out a chair and sat right next to the bed. He looked straight at Lu Guangdi without moving an inch.

After Lu Guangdi kept his eyes shut a while more, he finally opened his eyes. What greeted him was a warm gaze. That left him stunned as he quickly shut his eyes once more.

The charming man was precisely Lu Zhengjun. He calmly asked, "Do you want to say anything?"

"There's nothing to be said!" Lu Guangdi said coldly.

Lu Zhengjun continued, "I originally thought that you were already skilled enough. You trained your cultivation quite a bit, but never would I have imagined that you would get all of it crippled, becoming this weakling - a sore to the eyes!"

Lu Guangdi opened his eyes wide and glared angrily at him.

His voice was gentle, but his words cut deep. "Did you think that just because your cultivation had a little depth that you could dominate the entire world? Then, you probably thought that once you've made a name for yourself you could outshine the reputation I've made for myself in the past, right?"

"Hmph." Lu Guangdi did not deny it.

He did not want to be seen as someone weaker than Lu Zhengjun in his prime. That sole goal in mind was how he managed to fall so far from grace.

Lu Zhengjun shook his head. "You are a Tide-listening Pavilion disciple, I am a Green Deer Cliff disciple, can we ever be the same? The Tide-listening Pavilion's techniques are leagues below the Green Deer Cliff. It's almost like a mouse going against a cat, no matter how amazing the mouse was, they would always lose to a cat."

"Did you come just to shame me?" Lu Guangdi spat.

"Do you want revenge?" Lu Zhengjun asked.
