Xiao Qi’s cool and gentle voice spoke, “I’m sorry, but I cannot accept this challenge. If you wish to look for someone to battle, you can wait until my husband returns.”
“Well, that’s not up to you to decide, Madam Chu!” Lu Guangdi replied with a scoff.
He glided to the top of the Imperial Residence’s wall and was about to leap over it.
“How dare you!” Zheng Lide had already brought a few men to guard the entrance from the inside in case anyone tried to enter the Imperial Residence without permission. He flew into a rage when he saw Lu Guangdi being so arrogant and showing no respect for the Imperial Residence.
While Zheng Lide had brought along six Grandmaster protectors with him to guard the main door, Zhu Tianhua and the others were guarding Tianshu Courtyard and Precious Light Courtyard in case someone was plotting to lure away the protectors from those courtyards so that they could take advantage of the situation and harm the three consorts.
One of the protectors said, “Commander, this guy is entering our Imperial Residence without permission. We should arrest him, right?”
Zheng Lide huffed and replied, “Let us all attack him together. If we fail to arrest this person, the Imperial Residence will be put to shame!”
“Understood!” the protectors responded and then leaped into the air to attack Lu Guangdi.
Lu Guangdi leaped over the Imperial Residence’s wall and glided through the air. When he noticed the six protectors coming at him from below, he shook his head and swiftly thrust his palms downward.
The six Imperial Residence protectors felt an immense force pressing down on them from above and stopping them from moving upward. Soon, they ran out of breath and could only let themselves fall to the ground. Even if they tried to launch a punch and attack him from a distance, they would not be able to pose any threat to Lu Guangdi.
They felt a chill in their hearts when they saw how impressive this guy’s palm energy was. In fact, this palm attack was impeccably timed, as it appeared right when they were about to let out the foul air in their lungs and breathe in some fresh air. They did not have enough energy to counter his attack at that moment, so they had to let themselves descend to the ground and could only look on while he glided over their heads.
“You better come down this instant!” Zheng Lide abruptly launched a punch.
“Bang!” Lu Guangdi thrust his palm forward to counter the incoming fist force and used it to increase his speed. Thus, he rapidly swept past Zheng Lide and the protectors and glided toward Tianshu Courtyard.
Zheng Lide’s face turned red with anger as he huffed and shouted, “Get him!”
If Lu Guangdi managed to reach Tianshu Courtyard, Zheng Lide would be disgraced as a commander seeing as he had failed to ward off Lu Guangdi despite having the help of six other Grandmasters!
The other six protectors felt indignant as they hurriedly leaped into the air again and tried their best to catch up to Lu Guangdi.
As Lu Guangdi looked back and glanced at them, he shook his head and chuckled before thrusting his palm at them once more.
The seven men, who were hot on his trail, felt an invisible force surging toward them like endless raging waves that were trying to wash them away. They could not help but be in awe of his extraordinarily tough and refined palm energy. It seemed like this guy was truly skillful and was not relying on trickery to achieve his goal.
They decided not to show him any more mercy and used everything they had to counter Lu Guangdi’s palm energy by throwing palm and fist attacks at him.
Lu Guangdi seemed as if he had been sent flying away by their attacks as he increased his speed and charged ahead once again.
Zheng Lide gritted his teeth while his face grew even redder. Lu Guangdi had been toying around with them. Not only had their fist forces and palm energy failed to harm him, they even ended up helping him.
Lu Guangdi made use of their attacks to move forward at twice his previous speed. Before they could catch up with him, he had already arrived at Tianshu Courtyard in the blink of an eye.
“Intruders aren’t allowed to enter this place!” Zhu Tianhua shouted as his large figure rose into the air and charged toward Lu Guangdi.
However, Lu Guangdi abruptly turned his body to avoid Zhu Tianhua and descended. With that, he completely evaded Zhu Tianhua as he effortlessly landed on the ground while Zhu Tianhua glided upward and launched himself at thin air.
“You may stop now!” Xiao Qi’s cool voice ordered.
“Understood, Madam!” Zhu Tianhua replied in resignation.
Zheng Lide and the six protectors looked flustered and exasperated when they finally arrived at the scene, and Zhu Tianhua cast them a cold glare.
Zheng Lide huffed helplessly and had a gloomy look on his face as he muttered, “This guy is too crafty!”
“His martial arts skills are stronger than ours,” Zhu Tianhua replied coldly.
Then, he glided back to the courtyard next to Tianshu Courtyard.
Zheng Lide’s face was flushed, yet he could not allow himself to lose his temper, so he glared resentfully at Tianshu Courtyard and looked forward to seeing what would become of Lu Guangdi.
They were all aware of how strong the martial arts skills of Head Chief’s wife were. None of their skills were worth mentioning compared to Madam Chu’s skills.
When Lu Guangdi landed in Tianshu Courtyard, Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi had already put on white veils to cover their faces so only their bright eyes could be seen.
Xiao Shi and Xiao Qi sat beside the stone table and gazed at him nonchalantly. Meanwhile, Su Ru, Yang Xu, and Menglan stood behind the two women, scrutinizing him from head to toe.
Xiao Qi rose to her feet and said coolly, “Intruders of the Imperial Residence can be considered as assassins. No one will blame us even if we kill you. You’re rather bold!”
“Hehe, since I’m planning to challenge Chu Li, I should, of course, have some courage. After all, Chu Li is too famous right now!” Lu Guangdi had a somewhat flippant look on his face as he looked Xiao Qi up and down. “Let’s not talk about how great Chu Li’s martial arts skills are for now. I feel truly envious of him for having encountered such a beautiful woman.”
Xiao Shi said, “Younger Sister, you should just cripple this guy’s martial arts!”
“Hmm.” Xiao Qi nodded. “Lu Guangdi, you came here because you’ve heard that my husband has had his martial arts crippled, right?”
“Hasn’t already been his martial arts recovered?” Lu Guangdi stared intently at her as though he was trying to see through her white veil to get a clear view of her face. “Was that just a rumor?”
Xiao Qi replied calmly, “It seems like I’ve misjudged you. You’re not someone who’s seeking to take advantage of his situation after all… However, my husband is busy with work and have no time to spare at the moment. You should go and challenge someone else instead. Du Feng would make a pretty good opponent for a descendant of Tide-listening Pavilion like you!”
“Hehe, Du Feng!” Lu Guangdi smiled and shook his head. “Well, I’d have to be able to locate him first!”
“You can’t even find him, yet you have the nerve to come here and provoke us,” Xiao Qi retorted. “Tide-listening Pavilion’s antique study is the Rolling Wave Palm, right?”
“It seems like Madam Chu is quite well-informed about Tide-listening Pavilion.” Lu Guangdi smiled faintly. “Indeed, the Rolling Wave Palm is our strongest martial art. I’d like to find out what Madam Chu’s antique study is too!”
Xiao Qi leaped in front of him and soundlessly thrust her palm forward at lightning speed.
“Bang!” Lu Guangdi received her attack readily. Before their palms met, their palm energy had already collided with each other from a distance.
Lu Guangdi looked at Xiao Qi with a faint smile but was secretly taken aback.
He was born with a special ability to read the thoughts of others, which was similar to the Buddhist mind-reading ability. Therefore, he had always managed to seize the best opportunities in any situation and was capable of anticipating his enemy’s movements, giving him the upper hand in every battle.
Relying on his special skill as well as Tide-listening Pavilion’s unique martial arts, Lu Guangdi believed that he was strong enough to rule the world. Thus, he had been wildly ambitious when he came to Fairy’s Capital and felt overjoyed upon hearing of Chu Li’s great fame. He thought that he had come at an opportune time since Chu Li was exactly the stepping stone he needed.
He had come to be a conceited and arrogant person because of this special skill he possessed. Given his ability to accurately grasp the thoughts of others, which allowed him to handle people and problems with ease, Lu Guangdi was usually domineering and unruly in the way he dealt with matters and did not regard the outside world with much seriousness. He believed that he would be able to get anything he wanted in this world and that everything was within his control.
When he first saw Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi, he could not get a clear view of their faces but had managed to see their appearances in the minds of Zheng Lide and the others. He gasped in admiration at their beauty and then sighed with pity when he found out that these two stunningly gorgeous women were both already married to other men.
Lu Guangdi had also thought that it would be a piece of cake for him to defeat Xiao Qi. After he defeated the wife, the husband would surely show up.
The Rolling Wave Palm was strange yet profound as it contained the most essential and powerful characteristics of water. Its palm energy felt like endless raging waves that would repeatedly surge toward his opponent without stopping, which would allow him to attack his opponent multiple times within one move. His opponent would not be able to defend themselves well since it was almost impossible to withstand and overcome his palm energy.
Nonetheless, he did not expect Xiao Qi’s palm energy to be so refined and tough. His Rolling Wave Palm energy felt like a raging wave that was crashing into a rock along a coast because he was unable to break through her palm energy at all.
“Bang!” After an explosive sound, Xiao Qi remained standing in her spot while Lu Guangdi took two steps backward involuntarily.
He narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly as he said, “Very well, this is worth my energy after all. What impressive palm energy!”
