It was dawn, Chu Li was cultivating in the courtyard of the Secret Guardians Hall. Xu Huande walked in with large strides.
Chu Li took a glance at him before continuing with his cultivation.
Xu Huande sat by the stone table. "Chu Li, you may now exit your seclusion."
Chu Li smiled. "There's no rush. I've just entered the best shape and would need to go into seclusion for a while longer. This place is more suitable than the Imperial Residence. Very quiet indeed!"
Xu Huande coldly remarked, "Was it you who took down the two Secret Guardians?"
"Which Secret Guardian?" Chu Li was stunned and stopped his movements. He then came to a realization, "Oh, you mean those two who leaked intel to the enemies of the High Duke's Public House? What happened to them?"
Xu Huande scoffed heavily. "They've been dispelled of their cultivation!"
