Awe Stricken

Chu Li sighed and helplessly said, "I've been stripped of the Head Chief position, yet His Royal Highness still won't let me off the hook?"

Meng Zhi smiled deceitfully. "Head Chief, you've misinterpreted the entire situation. His Royal Highness wanted you to check out their martial arts so that you'll trust to hand Princess Xiao over to them thus you have time for other matters."

"Other matters? His Royal Highness must have been mistaken. I keep watch by the Young Lady's side, how can I possibly leave?" Chu Li narrowed his eyes and smiled back.

"If there are better candidates than the Head Chief to be Princess Xiao's protectors, wouldn't that be safer? There is no need for the Head Chief to remain here. There's a shortage of men in the Imperial Residence, having Head Chief to take charge is equivalent to having three extra men!" Meng Zhi chortled.

Chu Li grinned. "His Royal Highness really has thought about this and planned carefully."
