Chu Li served Lin Yuanshan a gla.s.s of wine . "Officer Lin, didn't you bring any Protectors?"

"Only these few, they are all Protectors disguised as Scribes to prevent any attention . Luckily it is safe inside the area under the Public House . I was just being paranoid . " Lin Yuanshan pointed at the few Scribes, who were sitting not far away .

Chu Li grinned . "If those gifts were to be s.n.a.t.c.hed, that would be…"

Lin Yuanshan smiled awkwardly . "I was so worried throughout the trip . I couldn't relax at all and I didn't get any quality sleep!"

Chu Li said, "They know that this is the wedding period and they wouldn't dare to cause any trouble near here . If not, I cannot be sure that the two carts of riches won't be s.n.a.t.c.hed away!"

"This is all because of the Eldest Master; he made this place so peaceful . " Lin Yuanshan smiled .

Chu Li shook his head and sighed . "I believe you have heard about the issue which happened not long ago . It was just settled recently, and that is why everyone is so honest now . It is not so peaceful on other days, so you still have to be careful about your safety here . "

"I see . " Lin Yuanshan nodded .

The wedding ceremony was completed and the Eldest Master started to drink along with the group . The hall was getting crowded and noisy .

Chu Li stood up and walked around the house from time to time to see if there was anyone suspicious around .

After one round, he would sit down again and talk to Lin Yuanshan .

As they talked and drank more wine, Lin Yuanshan started to relax and open up . He was being very friendly with Chu Li, even though he was supposed to be more cautious .

--

After the crowd left, the house somehow felt even more empty than usual .

Chu Li said goodbye to Xiao s.h.i.+ and Xiao Tieying as he left the Public House, and returned to the Fairy's Capital with Lin Yuanshan .

The Public House was not ready to let Lin Yuanshan and the group leave by themselves yet . If something were to happen to them, they would be in deep trouble . Chu Li was the best option to send them off safely .

As dawn arrived, Chu Li and the group left the house and moved towards the capital .

It would only take two days to complete the trip on their horses .

The air at dawn was refres.h.i.+ng and it made everyone felt energetic .

Chu Li and Lin Yuanshan moved together .

"Brother Chu, you don't have to send us personally, this area is really peaceful, so nothing will happen . Besides, we are not carrying any more treasures . There will be less trouble for us," Lin Yuanshan said .

They were calling each other brothers . After yesterday, Lin Yuanshan now considered Chu Li a great friend and had a good relations.h.i.+p with him .

Chu Li shook his head .

Lin Yuanshan smiled and asked, "What are you worried about Brother Chu?"

Chu Li replied, "Those in the martial arts world are never afraid of death . If they want revenge, they will take it even if it costs them their lives . I have managed to catch around ten such people during the wedding ceremony . All of them are greatly trained, but none of them wanted to live as they tried to kill the Eldest Master!"

"Sigh, these people are full of rage . I am impressed, but they didn't use it the right way . If they used it to help us in our fight against our enemy, how good would that be?" Lin Yuanshan shook his head .

"That is why . They are all very stubborn . I respect them but I can't change their mind . " Chu Li nodded .

"Then what did you do to them?"

"I make them powerless . "

Lin Yuanshan felt pity . "I think removing their powers is quite serious . They are finished, done without their martial art skills!"

"If I don't do that then I would need to kill them . I don't want to kill them . But if I don't, their powers can cause ma.s.sive destruction . The Protectors from the Public House may also lose their lives . " Chu Li felt helpless .

"That is reasonable . " Lin Yuanshan nodded .

Chu Li continued, "Making them powerless is the best option . If they want to recover, they can retrain their power . Even if they fail to get back to 100%, at least they can still be a normal martial arts master . "

"Most of them are elderly . It will be hard for them to reach their peaks again . "

"By the way, Brother Lin has stayed in the Forbidden Palace so you must have broad knowledge . Do you know any methods that can help to recover lost skills?"

"Let me see… I don't think so . Everyone knows that saving someone is easier than salvaging lost skills . " Lin Yuanshan thought for a moment before shaking his head .

"Can the Emperor do it? The Emperor is an Enlightened Master anyway," Chu Li asked .

Lin Yuanshan laughed . "An Enlightened Master is still a martial art master, not a G.o.d . "

Chu Li felt happy to hear that, and replied, "I heard that the Enlightened Masters can do incredible things . They can see through everything and reveal their true nature!"

"No one understands the real power of the Enlightened Master and created rumors instead . Actually, it is not that powerful . I am always working side by side the Emperor but I have never noticed any differences . " Lin Yuanshan shook his head .

"Then he must be scarily influential?" Chu Li asked .

Lin Yuanshan responded, "The Emperor acts the same way as normal people . He is very kind, but no one dares to make any mistakes . He is friendly but if someone screws up, he can be very cruel . "

"It is as if you are staying with a tiger . " Chu Li chuckled .

Lin Yuanshan shook his head but remained silent .

Chu Li said, "I am very curious about the Enlightened Masters but I don't have the chance to work for the Emperor closely . "

Lin Yuanshan laughed . "In my opinion, the Emperor looks more like a normal person than a martial artist . "

"He is an Enlightened Master, not just a martial artist," Chu Li replied .

Lin Yuanshan continued, "The Emperor has never really used his skills over the years . From what I have heard, the Enlightened Masters can fuse with the G.o.ds, and not G.o.d themselves!"

Chu Li was shocked to hear that . "Fuse with the G.o.ds?"

He was trying his best to become friends with Lin Yuanshan in order to know the secrets of the Enlightened Masters . Besides, having a friend from the Forbidden Palace could be an advantage when the time comes .

This Lin Yuanshan worked in a cautious manner . That was why Chu Li needed to use alcohol on him . Along with the Omniscient Mirror, great timing, and environment, Chu Li made him open up and he was able to befriend Lin Yuanshan .

The most important thing was that Lin Yuanshan had a good heart . He was not someone cunning . He was trustworthy and great to work with .

Lin Yuanshan replied, "The four major sects have their own secret techniques, but those are just fake Enlightened Masters . Once they try to fuse with the G.o.ds, they will be controlled by the G.o.ds . After that, their body will receive heavy damage . Most of these techniques have huge drawbacks, and one cannot perform it for too many times in their life . But the real Enlightened Masters can control the G.o.ds in them, and they will have no drawbacks from it . "

"That is all the Enlightened Masters can do?" Chu Li was surprised .

Lin Yuanshan laughed . "Isn't this enough? Once you fuse with the G.o.ds, you will be invincible . Moreover, some of the G.o.ds are magical . One of them is enough to fight a country of men . That is what we call the Enlightened Masters!"

Lin Yuanshan looked at the Fairy's Capital .

Chu Li grinned . "Brother Lin, do you want to become an Enlightened Master?"

"It is impossible for me to reach that state . Not everyone can become an Enlightened Master . Brother Chu, you seem to be very interested in this . Are you hoping to become one?" Lin Yuanshan asked .

"Yes, I do," Chu Li answered honestly .

He understood that Lin Yuanshan hated people who lied to him . So, the best way to treat him was with honesty .

Lin Yuanshan raised his eyebrows . "Hard! Very hard!"

Chu Li smiled . "Brother Lin, do you know how?"

"If you are trained with the special techniques from all of the four major sects, you can become an Enlightened Master yourself . But that is getting extremely difficult nowadays . Other than that, I don't think there is any other possible way," Lin Yuanshan replied .

Chu Li nodded .

Chu Li served Lin Yuanshan a gla.s.s of wine . Officer Lin, didnt you bring any Protectors? Only these few, they are all Protectors disguised as Scribes to prevent any attention .
