Chapter 1129: Humiliation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lu Guangdi hastily slapped his forehead and pretended to be frustrated. “Damn it, I can’t believe I forgot that Chu Li has a wife!”

Lu Yurong sent a sidelong glance at him. “What are you trying to say?”

Lu Guangdi quickly shook his head. “It was a lapse in my judgment. After all, Lady Lu is both educated and gorgeous, so, how is it even possible that you would fall for a married man. Yeah, it makes sense, you’re a certified lady of a Public House, it doesn’t make sense for you to be a homewrecker. Furthermore, the Ren Public House is at odds with the Yi Public House, so it really does seem that I’m overthinking the situation!”

Lu Yurong nonchalantly responded, “That’s enough, Lil Lu. You’re acting oddly and using sharp words. You’re making fun of me, aren’t you?”

“I wouldn’t dare!” Lu Guangdi frantically waved his hands as he pretended to be afraid.

Lu Yurong continued, “Are you thinking that I wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on you? Do you think that just because you have the favor of HIs Royal Highness, you can act as you please?”

“I wouldn’t dare.” Lu Guangdi chuckled.

Lu Yurong coldly stated, “Then shut your trap! …If you’re that displeased, just challenge Chu Li then!”

“Really?” Lu Guangdi was stunned. “Why did you suddenly agree, Lady Lu?”

Lu Yurong answered, “I want to see you get destroyed!”

Lu Guangdi chortled. “You think too highly of Chu Li, Lady Lu. As powerful as he is, he wouldn’t be able to confine me if I truly wish to leave. After all, King An’s Imperial Residence is no dragon’s den, and even if it was, I’d still break out!”

“Fine then, I’ll witness your ability myself!” Lu Yurong snorted.

Lu Guangdi responded, “Prepare to be amazed, Lady Lu!”

“Go and challenge him tomorrow! Any later and Chu Li might leave again as he’s a busy man!”

“Fine!” Lu Guangdi asserted.

Lu Guangdi was extremely frustrated at how highly regarded Chu Li was in Lu Yurong’s eyes. After all, Chu Li was only a mere Chief, whereas Lu Yurong was the lady of a Public House, and aside from that, she was blessed with intellect and beauty that far surpassed any other woman. She was supposed to treat every other male like insignificant specks of dust, but instead, she revered a mere Chief. How could Lu Guangdi be satisfied unless he had beaten Chu Li into a pulp!

Once he had returned to his courtyard, Lu Guangdi began to practice his martial arts. Additionally, he went to bed early to keep his senses sharp.

On the morning of the second day, Lu Guangdi had woken up early. He was bustling with energy and was pumped. He was emanating his battle spirit from every pore of his body, and he was feeling extremely excited.

He was going to put down Chu Li today. Not only that, he was going to viciously trample over Chu Li and permanently put Chu Li under him. Lu Guangdi was about to make a name for himself today!

When that happened, he would like to see whether Lu Yurong would still be able to maintain her arrogance and look down on him!

Lu Guangdi had donned a green tunic. He looked dashing, and emanated a cool aura as he walked all over to King An’s Imperial Residence from King Jing’s Imperial Residence. When he arrived, he crossed his hands, ignored the two guards posted beside the stone lions and declared, “Where are you, Chu Li? Lu Guangdi from King Jing’s Imperial Residence wishes to cross hands with you!”

Lu Guangdi’s voice reverberated through every inch of King An’s Imperial Residence, clearly seeping into everyone’s ears. Even after it had scoured through every inch of King An’s Imperial Residence, Lu Guangdi’s voice continued to spread, covering several miles.

Chu Li arrived in a flash on top of the stairs to King An’s Imperial Residence. From his vantage point, he looked down upon Lu Guangdi.

With his robes flapping in the wind, Chu Li furrowed his brows and with a stoic expression, he asked, “So you’re Lu Guangdi?”

“Indeed I am!” Lu Guangdi proudly puffed out his chest and said, “Chu Li of the North and Du Feng of the South. Your name is known far and wide, but fame doesn’t mean that your ability is the real deal. As such, I’m here today to test Chu Li of the North. I’ll be the judge of your ability!”

Chu Li shook his head and with a smile, he said, “Lu Yurong visited me last night.”

“What do you mean?” Lu Guangdi frowned.

Chu Li crossed his hands and chuckled. “She begged for my mercy, saying that you’re a rare talent and that it would be a waste to cripple you. As such, she wants me to show mercy to you!”

“Impossible!” Lu Guangdi’s face instantly turned beet-red. In an enraged tone, he shouted, “What nonsense!”

Chu Li responded with a smile, “I’m not fabricating this. You can verify this yourself by asking Lu Yurong. In her eyes, you’re nothing but a playful brat that’s slightly pompous and requires a little discipline.”

Lu Guangdi angrily shouted, “SILENCE!”

Chu Li answered, “Let’s do away with the formalities, shall we? I’ll test your abilities myself!”

“Take this!” Lu Guangdi howled as he sent a palm forward with all his might.

He was boiling with murderous intent. The only way to live down his humiliation was by killing Chu Li.

After all, he had been looked down upon by the woman he liked, and that very woman had even begged for another male’s mercy. TLu Yurong’s actions had left Lu Guangdi extremely humiliated.

Lu Guangdi noticed that there was shapeless energy surrounding Chu Li, and he was unable to figure it out. A wave of intense pressure was emanating from Chu Li, and in Lu Guangdi’s mind, he was starting to believe Lu Yurong’s words. Chu Li was indeed powerful, and Lu Guangdi would need to give it his all to gain a semblance of a chance.

Without holding anything back, Lu Guangdi unleashed his Rolling Wave Palm to its maximum potential. He had converged all of his cultivation into that single strike.

“Bang!” Chu Li responded to the fist with a fist of his own.

The two palms slammed into one another, emitting a loud thud.

The Rolling Wave Palm was supposed to emit waves upon waves of energy, but at present, only a single wave had been emitted as Chu Li had sent it reeling back to its source. Lu Guangdi did not even get an opportunity to escape, and the moment his palm energy had returned to him, he was sent hurtling away.

Chu Li appeared behind Lu Guangdi in a flash and gently sent out his palm.

Lu Guangdi’s body turned stiff as all his acupoints had now been sealed. He collapsed with blood gushing from his mouth.

Chu Li shook his head, and in a low tone, he sighed, “You have great ambitions, but your abilities say otherwise. As expected, you can’t even take a single hit.”

“You…” Lu Guangdi wanted to speak, but he was not able to. His mouth was filled with blood, and he was finding it hard to breathe. His vision was growing dark.

His murderous intent and rage were practically bursting from his chest now, and all he wanted to do now was murder Chu Li. However, he was also mad at himself. He was mad that he was weak, as he could not even take a single hit.

Chu Li turned his head around to look at a nearby house. “Yurong, since you’re already here, why did you even bother hiding?”

A white flash flitted past everyone’s eyes as Lu Yurong dropped down in front of Chu Li. She angrily stated, “You’ve gone too far!”

She was wearing a tunic that was as white as snow, and from the white veil on her head, only a pair of eyes could be seen. They were extremely mesmerizing.

Chu Li chuckled, “I’ve already followed your orders and shown mercy, didn’t I… Isn’t this merciful enough? After all, he’s the one who came knocking on my door, but you still want me to let him go? If everyone acts like this guy over here, wouldn’t my peaceful days be over? Here I was even prepared to make an example out of him!”

“You and your theories!” Lu Yurong rolled her eyes at him and snorted, “Are you satisfied now?”

“I should be the one asking you that.” Chu Li laughed. “You owe me a favor now. Now, take him away!”

Lu Yurong snorted, “Release his acupoints!”

She understood Chu Li’s intentions. Chu Li would shame Lu Guangdi even further if given the chance, as his goal was to utterly break Lu Guangdi so that he would not become a formidable foe in the future. After all, once proud teenagers such as Lu Guangdi had their spirits shattered, they would find it extremely hard to get back on their own feet.

By Lu Yurong’s estimates, there was a high chance that she would be unable to release the sealed acupoints when they returned to King Jing’s Imperial Residence. Due to this, she had requested for Chu Li to unseal the acupoints.

After all, had she been in Chu Li’s shoes, she would have done the same. She and Chu Li practically shared the same mindset, and it was for this reason that she had assumed Chu Li’s actions.

Chu Li shook his head and laughed, “You’re really projecting your shortcomings on me, you know?!”

He walked forward and tapped Lu Guangdi’s chest.

A wave of relief washed over Lu Guangdi’s body as he gradually regained his freedom.

He sucked in a deep breath, and his eyes looked as if they were on fire. Lu Guangdi glared murderously at Chu Li and said, “Chu Li, I’ll not forget what you did to me today!”

Chu Li smiled gently. “Sure thing. While this martial arts of yours might be the strongest in Tide-listening Pavilion, it’s totally insignificant here in Fairy’s Capital. Go back and practice for a few more years before returning!”

Chu Li was humiliating Lu Guangdi that much for two reasons. The first was to serve as a warning for those who wished to trample on him, and the second was to chase Lu Guangdi away, to prevent him from revealing Zhuo Feiyang’s identity.
