Chu Li frowned as he shook his head.

He wondered, ‘Since when did Secret Guardians Hall become like this? How can they arrest people just because of what they say? This is crazy! Has the Secret Guardians Hall changed ever since Gu Yu rose to power?’

Xiao Qi sneered.

Upon hearing her, the two black-robed men turned to look at her unpleasantly.

They turned to fix their gaze on Xiao Qi.

Since Xiao Qi was eating, she had temporarily removed her white veil, revealing her beautiful looks. On top of her cold temperament, she looked even more otherworldly, and it made her face very radiant. Normally, people would not dare to look at her for too long as if that would profane her.

However, the two black-robed men checked her out presumptuously before they finally said in a cold tone, “Lady, do you have any objections?”

Xiao Qi replied plainly, “Secret Guardians Hall is being too overbearing. All he did was say a few words of complaint, is there a need to arrest him?”

“We, the people of Secret Guardians Hall don’t need to explain to anyone when arresting someone, we just arrest them!” One of the black-robed men continued, “Lady, you’re with that fella, aren’t you?”

Xiao Qi squinted her eyes a little. Then, she responded, “Oh…?”

“Come with us too then.” The other black-robed man who was as burly as a bear stared at Xiao Qi wolfishly.

Neither of them noticed had Chu Li as he had been looking outside all along, and because he had no aura at all, they were certain that he had no martial art skills. Thus, they paid no attention to him.

Xiao Qi asked, “What if I don’t go with you?”

“You don’t have a say in this, lady!” The thin, black-robed man smirked and shook his head. “If Secret Guardians Hall wants to call for someone, it’ll happen for sure. Lady, don’t make us force you! If we make a move, even if you can escape, we’ll issue red notices. You won’t be able to make it far.”

Xiao Qi questioned, “Was Secret Guardians Hall always so oppressive?”

“Of course!” the two men answered arrogantly.

Finally, Chu Li turned around to look at the two men. “Since when did Secret Guardians Hall become like this? You’re new to Secret Guardians Hall, aren’t you?”

Chu Li had seen almost every protector from Secret Guardians Hall but he had never seen the two of them before.

When the two men glanced at Chu Li, they rolled their eyes. “What high-sounding sentiments! Are you a secret guardian too?”

Chu Li retrieved a badge from his pocket and threw it to them.

The moment the two men saw what it was, their faces changed instantly.

They recognized that it was the centurion’s badge. Even though the centurion was not their direct superior, he had the power to transfer them if help was needed. If they disobeyed the centurion’s order, they would be doomed.

“Centurion Chu?” The burly middle-aged protector furrowed his brows. “Are you Chu Li? Centurion Chu?”

Chu Li nodded lightly. “I’m Chu Li.”

“Hehe, so it is Centurion Chu.” The two secret guardians looked at each other and smiled widely.

Disappointed, Chu Li sighed. “Looks like my title as Centurion Chu has become a thing of the past.”

“Hehe, Centurion Chu, at least you’re aware.” The burly protector threw Chu Li’s badge back to him, which was accompanied by a strange force.

At once, Xiao Qi reached her sword out to receive the badge before she placed it nicely on the table in front of Chu Li.

With that, the two protectors were even more certain that Chu Li had been crippled of his martial art.

By then, the people around them heard their conversation too, so they looked over as they were surprised.

“Chu Li…” They widened their eyes at Chu Li.

The North had Chu Li, while the South had Du Feng — they were both legendary figures. The people had always talked about them but they had never thought that they would meet any of them. After all, one was mysterious of his whereabouts, while one was mostly in Fairy’s Capital but had not entered the Imperial Mausoleum. Nevertheless, both of them were rarely seen.

Chu Li looked around him and greeted the people with smiles.

The burly secret guardian taunted, “Centurion Chu, I heard that your martial art has been completely negated and it looks like it’s true.”

Chu Li turned and looked at him with squinted eyes. “That’s right, I’m crippled now.”

“That’s truly a pity.” The burly protector gave him a fist salute. “We’re no longer the same kind of people now. A secret guardian must have martial art skills, or else, one will be useless since they can’t do anything, am I right?”

Chu Li could not help but laugh. “Are you asking me to resign from my post as the centurion?”

“Hehe, Centurion Chu, you should know what to do.” The burly protector gave him a fist salute again.

Xiao Qi uttered coldly, “How dare you!”

Right away, the burly secret guardian’s face darkened. He scoffed, “You’re the Third Lady, right?”

Xiao Qi glared at him without emotions.

The burly secret guardian scorned, “This is not the Yi Public House and I’m not your public house’s protector, I’m a secret guardian at the Secret Guardians Hall. Your unrestrained behavior will not be tolerated!”

Chu Li laughed again. “This is interesting, the secret guardians from Secret Guardians Hall are becoming more terrible.”

Xiao Qi turned to look at him. “Should we teach them a lesson?”

“Of course.” Chu Li nodded.

Xiao Qi pulled her sword out without hesitation.

When her sword light flashed, the burly man pressed his wrist. He was both shocked and furious. “You… How dare you!”

Chu Li simply responded, “If you don’t leave now, would you like to have a taste of your martial arts being crippled? Since I don’t have any martial art skills now, I believe it won’t be a sin for me to cripple you of yours, right?”

“Chu Li, you’re being too presumptuous!” the thin secret guardian yelled.

Chu Li narrowed his eyes at him.

Chu Li realized that ever since his martial art was crippled, his title had become useless too. Not only that, but he had also become a target for others to trample on. After all, his days in the past were too glorious.

This was simply human nature.

The crowd around them watched enjoyably as they were eager to see how Chu Li would react.

Chu Li asked, “Would you like to have a taste of being crippled of your martial arts?”

“You can only rely on the lady’s powers, you’re not the Chu Li whom you used to be!” The thin secret guardian replied disdainfully, “If you dare do that to me, the Secret Guardians Hall won’t go easy on you!”

Chu Li giggled. “Won’t go easy on me? That’s great, I’d like to see how hard they can go on me.”

After he said that, he gave Xiao Qi a look.

In a flash, Xiao Qi moved her sword which instantly pierced through the men’s Dantians.

At that moment, the people around them could hear the sound of something going flat. It was as if rubber balls had been punctured.

“You…!” The two secret guardians widened their eyes in disbelief.

Chu Li smiled. “Now you know what it feels like to lose your martial art skills, don’t you? Get lost!”

“You with the surname Chu, wait for the Secret Guardians Hall’s revenge!” the two men roared before they staggered away, strengthless.

“Bam, bam, bam, bam…” All of a sudden, the two men rolled down the stairs as if they were kicked down like gourds.

By the time they landed downstairs, they had suffered fractures in a few spots. Considering the flight of stairs was quite long, they were lucky to have strong bones now that their martial arts were negated or they would have been heavily injured.

“Haha…” The crowd burst out laughing as it was very entertaining.

“Head Chief Chu, nice one!” Someone gave Chu Li a thumbs up and shouted enthusiastically, “Great job in crippling them, those bossy men should’ve been taught a lesson long ago!”

Chu Li smiled and gave him a fist salute in return.

Without saying a word, Xiao Qi nodded slightly.

In actual fact, most people in the crowd had their gazes fixed on Xiao Qi.
