The room was furnished and decorated in the same way as Su Li had visited it last time. However, Gong Xiangjun didn’t sit at the desk; instead, she lay on the bed. Feng Qingru and Gong Min sat on each side, while Wen Ruomin sat in an old-fashioned wooden armchair beside the bed. They all glared at a fat woman standing in the room.
“Second mother, grandma left angrily because of you in those years. Now you want her to go back with illness!” Gong Min was not as gentle as usual. Her eyes were full of resentment and hatred. She said, “I’d like to ask you what your intention is.”
The fat woman was the Second Madam of the Gong Family, Wu Yun.
Wen Ruomin sat on one side and breathed a little fast. She was not from the Gong Family and it was inappropriate for her to interfere in the matter. But if Wu Yun wanted to take Gong Min and Gong Xiangjun forcibly, she would never sit and watch.
The tender spot of Wu Yun might be touched by Gong Min
The long sword crossed the air with a graceful arc and flashed several times precisely in Gong Min’s sight. The tip of the sword seemed to have eyes. It touched the tips of all the darts with coherent rattle. Then the darts fell to the ground with tinkles.“No!”The man in black attacked in secret saw the scene, and immediately turned pale as if he saw a ghost. He ran away in a hurry without saying anything. But he had not stepped out a few steps, the white light flashed and disappeared. Then Su Li appeared like a ghost in front of him.Su Li snorted. Before the man in black had reaction, she hit him on the neck with one hand. Then the man groaned and fell to the ground.A bloody smell suddenly spread. Su Li couldn’t help frowning. She squatted down to have a check. But the black cloth on face of the man in black was dyed with blood.“Am I late?”Su Li felt surprised. She uncovered the black cloth and saw
Wu Yun slept soundly. When she got up in the morning and saw the bright sunshine outside, she was instantly in a good mood.“Gong Min, you pushed me. Don’t blame me!”Wu Yun hummed and leisurely began to eat breakfast under the arrangement of her servant. If she hadn’t been humiliated like that yesterday, she would never have done so!However, as long as Gong Xiangjun, that old cat died, she could really take charge of the whole Gong Family and never be criticized again!Gong Min was so young that she could easily control her with a casual trick.Thinking of that, she was delighted and even couldn’t help humming a song.Just then a maid rushed in from outside in a flurry and said, “Madam, something bad happened! The old lady didn’t die, and she was taken away by the doctor. The people you send was…”Bam!Wu Yun was shocked all of a sudden and she didn’t realized that the chopstick
Trailing after Mei Ruohan all the way, Su Li stood on the dark-colored roof and couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. When she saw Mei Ruohan buy food and herbs in great quantities in shops along the street, she was more interested.It seemed that Mei Ruohan had other things to do in the Qinghe Town. And she had to keep those things to herself. Or else she would not just ask for help without saying anything. She would tell Su Li about these things according to her temperament.Mei Ruohan put away the remaining silver after packing up all things with difficulty. She seemed to remember something and a hint of happiness appeared on her face.After getting out the city gate, she always chose byways regardless the danger at night. Su Li finally saw a shabby temple in the woods after they walked for half an hour.There were lot of beggars in the shabby temple. Mei Ruohan walked into the temple familiarly and gave most of the food to the
“My name is Long…”The young man in chain was about to say the fake name that he had used for years. However, he couldn’t help but secretly sigh when he saw Mei Ruohan look at him with expectations. Then he whispered, “Luo Yichen. My name is Luo Yichen.”“Isn’t your surname Long?”Mei Ruohan was astonished and asked. Su Li softly teased her before Mei Ruohan knew what happened, “Little fool, that certainly is his fake name. When have you ever seen an escaped criminal dare to use a real name? He is not stupid!”Instead of getting angry after hearing what Su Li said, Mei Ruohan scratched her head with embarrassment, even though it was the first day that she saw Ms. Li.Luo Yichen instantly became nervous when he heard “escaped criminal”. He watched Su Li with caution. Although Su Li pulled out the chain for him, he still doubted whether Su Li was a friend or not.Su Li caught the sight of Luo Yichen and she
Just as usual, Su Li returned to the courtyard of the school from the Linli Building. Then she sat in meditation all night long. When she got up, Mammy Li already prepared steaming hot breakfast for her. She didn’t need to take food after entering into the inborn realm and she could keep her body work merely by virtue of absorbing the nimbus of the universe. However, she was fond of delicacies and would have a small bowl of refreshing millet porridge every morning.The sunshine was casted into the room through the window. It was a nice and cloudless day. Su Li’s eyes brightened from time to time when she heard the chirm from the woods outside the window.She had been waiting all these days.Wu Yun was so vicious that she was unlikely to give up after a failed attack. Su Li guessed that she would probably start a more violent revenge. But there was no sign of her revenge for all these days, which made Su Li a little uneasy.After al
The atmosphere of the banquet became gradually warm after the drinking had gone through three rounds.“Thanks for giving a banquet for my sake. I am greatly beholden to you for your great kindness. The martial arts circle is full of hardships and dangers and I still have a long way to go. Teachers, please give me more guidance and support in days to come. I propose a toast to all teachers and classmates!”Lin Yanxing stood up and said. Although what he said was clearly polite formula, a round of applause burst out in the banquet and the atmosphere of the small banquet was immediately at its peak. Many maidens in the College of Literature who had begun to think of love looked at Lin Yanxing with a bit of love and affection in their eyes. If they could marry such a splendid lover, it could be said that they had not spent their life in vain.Lin Yanxing looked at Su Li from time to time, with a hope that he could see a bit of affection in the latt
“Does Ms. Li finally ask you do something?”Mei Ruohan stood up after Fang Yuan left. She walked closer to Luo Yichen and wanted to see the content of the scrip. Luo Yichen immediately put it away and said with a severe countenance, “Ms. Li says it is a secret. You can’t read it. I will immediately start off before it’s too late.”“I see.” Mei Ruohan moved her eyes away from the scrip after hearing what he said. She nodded obediently and said, “Go ahead and be careful on the road.”Luo Yichen responded with a simple “hum” and left without saying a word. He felt slightly angry and thought that Ms. Li must do this on purpose. Fortunately, he was quick on the trigger. Or else how would Ruohan think of him?Su Li naturally couldn’t know that Luo Yichen had once again misunderstood the actual intention of her unintentional order. At the moment, she was holding the Ao Sword Skills from Jin Cheng’ao and carefully studying it in the attic.
On 7a.m. to 9a.m. of the next day, the Linli Building opened as usual but the business in the morning was poor. Only several drunkards came.Lao Li staggered into the door with a flagon. He smelled of osmanthus all over his body. Since that day he drank the osmanthus wine, he became a loyal customer to the Linli Building.Regardless of the rumor outside, he absolutely trusted the Linli Building. If other wineries spread unfavorable rumor, he even called together many people to seek justice.“Mr. Li, you are here! Please sit down. Today the new wine is on the market. Would you like to have a taste?”When the waiter saw Lao Li, he immediately greeted him with enthusiasm. He was the number one old customer of the Linli Building. Almost half of the return customers in the restaurant were introduced by him.“Hiccup... just the same wine as regular...”Lao Li was still in a daze. He said intermittently. Suddenly
