The little sister is a troublemaker

Qingyu patted Li Mulan's hand. How could she not see that Chu Jie was not right? He was only nine years old, but he had the stability of an adult. Although he would act cute and coquettish to make Li Mulan happy during the time they spent together, the maturity he inadvertently revealed still made people feel sad. But considering that he had no parents since he was a child, it was understandable.

"Tomorrow morning I will go prepare some daily necessities for your mother and the others. You don't have to hide away now, so it's better to be more comfortable."

Li Mulan nodded, "There's no need to prepare too much. After all, we'll be able to return to Kyoto soon."

"Junior Master, are we going to Kyoto with you as well?" Huo Yuanruo asked with anticipation.

Li Mulan knew that she couldn't stay in the Li family forever. She was used to being at ease and couldn't be trapped in one place forever. "Well, I'm worried about letting them go on the road alone. I'll send them back first and visit my senior brother and the others on the way."

Huo Yuanruo was very excited. "I heard from Liu Feng before that a new restaurant has opened in Kyoto. It has delicious roast duck. I have wanted to try it for a long time. This time, I just want Liu Feng to take us around."

Li Mulan said unhappily, "Do you have any other ambitions besides eating? Besides, are you sure Xiao Feng has time to go shopping with you? The eldest brother has very high standards for him."

"Aren't you going too, little uncle? Even if he doesn't have time, he will have time, hehe." Then he said seriously, "Who said I don't have other ambitions? My ultimate goal is to defeat Master and become the leader of the martial arts world."

Li Mulan and Qingyu paused for a moment, then tried to hold back their laughter.

Huo Yuanruo got angry when he saw their expressions. "What are you laughing at? It's true. My master said that as long as I can defeat him, I can become the leader of the martial arts world in the future. Hehe, then he won't be able to bully me anymore."

Li Mulan looked at Huo Yuanruo with some sympathy, "Fifth Senior Brother told you that? He won't bully you when you become the leader of the martial arts world?"

Huo Yuanruo looked a little stunned. "That's not the case. However, I am now the leader of the martial arts world. Master must be very proud and will naturally not punish me for no reason, right?"

Li Mulan patted Huo Yuanruo's shoulder with a complicated expression, "Okay, go take a shower and go to bed."

It's good to have dreams. You can't discourage this kid. Alas, I just feel a little sorry for him. Fifth Brother didn't want to be the leader of the martial arts world. He took over because it was fun. He wanted to run away before two months. But now he has a fifth sister-in-law to manage him. He can only hope that Huo Yuanruo will take over his position one day. However, it is unlikely that Fifth Brother will stop bullying this silly boy.

Huo Yuanruo walked out carrying a big sword and said, "I'm not going to sleep anymore. I'm going to practice martial arts." As he said this, he disappeared.

Qingyu looked at the direction where the figure disappeared, "Yuan Ruo will probably practice until very late today."

"Puchi," Li Mulan chuckled, "Isn't it? If he defeats Fifth Senior Brother sooner, he will be able to hold his head high sooner and no longer be bullied by my Fifth Senior Brother."

Qingyu shook her head. This kid was too honest. Even if he defeated his master, so what? Wouldn’t that mean his master would no longer be his master?

The easternmost room of the inn.

Chu Chenfeng was writing something seriously, and Chu Jie was standing beside him.

After a long while, he raised his head and nodded at the letters on the table, "Take a look."

Chu Jie heard this, his expression did not change at all, he went forward and picked up several letters and checked them one by one. Soon, his face changed and became very gloomy.

"This King Cheng, can't wait?"

Chu Chenfeng sneered, "I admire him for being able to endure for so many years."

Chu Jie's small face was full of coldness. "He has been pretending for so many years to gain the reputation of a wise king. Is he giving it up now?"

"A traitor is still a traitor, no matter how good he is at pretending."

"But the area in Jiangnan..."

"It's okay. We have been prepared for these years. The worst result is that we have to tear everything down and rebuild it again." Although it will take more time.

Chu Jie asked in a deep voice, "Uncle, is it because my father's affairs have been made public that he no longer wants to pretend, so he is acting so rashly?"

Chu Chenfeng shook his head. "Not entirely. King Cheng has been secretly cultivating his strength over the years and has never slacked off. He dared to be so bold this time. I suspect he got help from some force."

Chu Jie enumerated the various forces in the court one by one, "Who does the emperor think it is?"

Chu Chenfeng put down his pen, his expression unchanged, "It doesn't matter who it is. What matters is that he must not have a chance to turn things around this time."

Chu Jie did not ask his uncle what he was going to do. He continued to read the last letter in his hand, and then his eyes widened. "The imperial edict to Mobei was hijacked? Why?"

Chu Chenfeng's eyes were deep, "This is what I want to know. An imperial decree of pardon actually mobilized the people of the Killer League, hehe."

"Is this aimed at the Li family?"

Chu Chenfeng nodded and said, "There is no news from other places." So he was also very confused about what big secret the Li family was hiding that required such a large mobilization of troops.

Chu Jie suddenly thought of something and was shocked. "Uncle Wang, do you think the Li family will be in danger? These people will definitely not just block the imperial edict of amnesty. They don't want the Li family to return to Kyoto, so the best way is to keep them in Mobei forever." The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. "No, I have to notify Sister Lan."

"How many times have I told you not to rush into anything?"

Chu Jie took a deep breath and calmed down, "Uncle Wang has made any arrangements?"

"Since these are the people you want to use, I will certainly not let anything happen to them. Besides..." He didn't want anything to happen to the stubborn old man.

Chu Jie finally felt relieved, "Thank you, uncle."

Chu Chenfeng glanced at him and asked, "Did you gain anything today?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Jie immediately drooped his shoulders and shook his head.

"Oh, he doesn't want to?"

"Master Li said that he will not accept any more students in the future."

Chu Chenfeng paused after hearing this, with a hint of emotion in his eyes. After a long pause, he asked, "So what do you think?"

"I...Uncle Emperor, I don't want to give up."

Chu Chenfeng picked up the cup on the table and took a sip. "I didn't ask you to give up, but... you can try another way."

Chu Jie looked at Chu Chenfeng in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

"What do you think of Li Xun?"

"Second Uncle Li, he must be very powerful. He is the one who makes the decisions for the Li family now."

"If Li Cong doesn't agree, he would be a good choice."

"Uncle Emperor, do you think this person is okay?"

"He has both literary and military skills, but he lacks opportunities. Your father has always wanted to use him, and now it's not bad to leave him to you."

When Chu Jie heard that it was the person his father valued in the past, he agreed in his heart.

"Besides, if I become Li Xun's student, will old man Li Cong still not care?"

Chu Jie immediately understood and smiled, "Uncle Emperor is wise."
