However, their plans have changed this time.
The Grand Master of the Ruthless Palace now has Lu Yanzhi by her side. The two have a very good relationship and rarely go out. It's impossible to make a move against the Grand Master now.
They then set their sights on the Second Palace Master and the Third Palace Master, who, unlike the First Palace Master, only knew how to cultivate and were ignorant of love.
The intelligence they gathered indicated that these two were prone to falling in love with every woman they met.
Today, news even came from the Palace of Heartlessness: [The three palace masters of the Palace of Heartlessness are fighting amongst themselves; the second and third palace masters have escaped with serious injuries.]
In the fierce battle at the Palace of Heartlessness, those men fought with reckless abandon, besieging the Second and Third Palace Masters.
They had long hated them to the core, and even if they couldn't kill them, they would fight with all their might, disregarding their own lives, and slash at them with their swords.
In this world, the weak fear the strong, and the strong fear those who fight relentlessly without fear.
When those men faced the Second and Third Palace Masters, they were fearless fighters.
So, as the Second and Third Palace Masters fought, they realized that continuing the fight would only result in mutual destruction, so they fled.
The man quickly spotted the Second and Third Palace Masters, but he hurriedly raised his hand to block his view and asked, "Who are you? Do you need help?"
At this moment, the Second and Third Palace Masters' clothes were torn in many places by the sword, and there was blood on them, making them look quite disheveled.
The Second Palace Mistress and the Third Palace Mistress exchanged a glance, then stood up weakly and said in a pretentious manner, "My sister and I came from out of town to visit relatives, but we encountered villains on the way and barely managed to escape."
The man chuckled inwardly. The Second and Third Palace Masters of the Heartless Palace were indeed as hypocritical as the rumors suggested.
However, he still said in a very innocent way, "Then, ladies, why don't you come to my humble abode to rest for a while?"
The Second and Third Palace Masters also needed to find a place to settle down and heal their wounds.
However, they shook their heads and said, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? We two sisters have nothing of value, and we don't know how we'll repay our benefactor."
The man slowly looked over, and when he saw the Second Palace Mistress and the Third Palace Mistress clearly, he seemed to be stunned by their appearances. He blushed and said, "It was my own choice, there's no need for repayment."
The Second and Third Palace Masters also noticed that this person was good-looking, with red lips, white teeth, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, so they pretended to reluctantly agree.
When the man turned around, the Second Palace Master and the Third Palace Master looked him up and down, their eyes gleaming.
That day, it started to rain heavily outside.
Lu Yanzhi received a piece of intelligence, which instructed him to investigate the secrets of the Second and Third Palace Masters in that mountain.
The intelligence report stated that there were a thousand assassins in the mountains, all of them men.
There are also women from the Heartless Palace guarding the place.
Previously, the men in the underground palace were all those who hadn't been chosen; they were all too weak.
Lu Yanzhi took the intelligence directly to Ah Li, "Grand Palace Master, are you aware that those two women are training assassins in the deep mountains?"
Lu Yanzhi didn't want to call the two women Second Palace Master and Third Palace Master, feeling very awkward about addressing them as Palace Masters.
He also gave the order that from now on, there would be no second or third palace master in the Heartless Palace, only the first palace master.
Ah Li took the intelligence handed to her by Lu Yanzhi and glanced at it briefly.
She already knew from the original owner that these assassins trained by the Second and Third Palace Masters would later become the sharp blades to kill and destroy the Ruthless Palace.
So, Ah Li thought of having Lu Yanzhi take some people to practice and let him see his current strength with his own eyes.
"Lu Yanzhi".
This was the first time Ah Li had called Lu Yanzhi's name so seriously.
Lu Yanzhi hugged her tightly, reached out and rubbed Ah Li's temples, saying, "Just tell me what you need. As long as it's within my power, I'll do it even if it means going through fire and water."
Then, Lu Yanzhi kissed Ah Li's earlobe and mumbled, "Great Palace Master, from now on, please call me by my name more often, okay?"
"Okay, sure."
Following Lu Yanzhi's lead, Ah Li raised her hand to hug him and said, "Take some men and go take a look. If you can recruit these assassins, keep them. If not, kill them all."
Lu Yanzhi stopped what he was doing, remembering that those assassins were hiding deep in the mountains and forests, and that finding them would take a lot of effort.
At that time, he will be separated from Ahri for a long time.
Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhi felt a little reluctant. He said, "Grand Palace Master, let's assign this matter to someone else. I don't want to be separated from you."
"Flame, you are the only one I can trust now, and you are the only one I can rely on."
“Those assassins must have been carefully trained by Leng Yue and Leng Xing. I don’t feel comfortable sending anyone else.”
Lu Yanzhi listened to what Ah Li said, but just held Ah Li tightly without saying a word.
Ah Li patted Lu Yan on the back and continued, "Yan Zhi, as you know, Leng Yue and Leng Xing must have hated me to the bone for a long time."
"What if those assassins they train end up killing me? Would you still want them to grow up then?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanzhi felt terrible. The thought of Ah Li being surrounded by a group of assassins made him hug Ah Li tightly, as if he wanted to merge Ah Li with himself.
Lu Yanzhi added, "I will not let that happen."
Ah Li nestled tightly against Lu Yanzhi's chest, feeling his heartbeat, and said, "I believe you."
