Idea

Chu Li originally wanted to leave but Lu Yurong persuaded him to stay for two days to excite High Duke Lu enough before leaving. The debt would be paid then. 

Chu Li considered it and since there were no matters to attend to at the Imperial Residence, Xiao Shi was back at the High Duke's Public House without worries and it did not matter if he visited the Secret Guardians Hall as it was mainly for him to gather intel. 

As for the Crouching Bull Mountain, he had already entered the mountains to be in seclusion. They would not be able to seek him out. It would be just right for him to return once a fortnight. 

Hence, he agreed to stay at Ren Public House for two days. 

The two of them sat in a gazebo at the backyard, sipping tea and chatting away on anecdotes concerning the martial arts world and deeds of past Enlightened Masters.

Lu Yurong was familiar in recounting these Enlightened Masters.
